Chapter 74 Closing the Net

The lead car in the front row was lost in an unprepared sneak attack. Before he could wait, Heizenauer, who was frightened, frightened and furious, gave the order again, and the second armor-piercing shell followed in a very short time. Guilt strikes again.

call out--

boom--

This time, Iushkin, who had turned the muzzle, aimed his next attack target at the side of a No. 3 assault gun at the end of the German mixed formation.

This turretless tank, which is heavier and slower to turn than the Panzer III tank, has no time to dodge in the short reaction time of just a few seconds. The BR-350B hood-piercing armor-piercing weapon fired by Iushkin The grenade sliced ​​through the fragile side armor of the No. 3 assault gun as easily as a bone-breaking razor.

The intense ammunition explosion caused even the 24-caliber Stuk 37 75mm howitzer equipped with the Type 3A assault gun to be blown directly out of the fighting room of the vehicle and fell to the ground aside. The burning, twisted and deformed wreckage of the No. 3 assault gun was like a dark and hot coffin, constantly roasting the remains of the three German soldiers who died in it, emitting bursts of nauseating burnt smell.

After a textbook ambush with black guns, Second Lieutenant Iushkin, hiding in a haystack used to feed livestock, finally completed the task assigned to him by Malashenko.

"Okay, comrades! Our mission is completed. Reverse immediately to avoid these German troops and go to the preparation location. Hurry!"

"Understood, Comrade Commander!"

He saw the Soviet T34 tank reversing out of the hidden bunker in the commander's command tower sight, roaring with black smoke, and Heizenauer, who was gritting his teeth and out of breath, wanted to rush forward and tear it apart. The Soviet tanks smashed these hammers and sticks.

"Armored company, turn around and turn to the flank! Cars No. 112 and 113 outflank the Soviet tank and catch up with it. Don't let it escape. The other crews immediately suppress it with fire! Sergeant Michel, immediately ask your platoon to provide artillery support. Delay that T34 tank, quickly!”

The order from Lieutenant Heizenauer was also heard from the headset communicator next to his ear. Before Wittmann, who had just lost one of his No. 3 assault guns, could answer, the gunner directly in front of Wittmann Klink complained loudly without pressing the throat communicator.

"Heizenauer, this little bastard! He commands our troops like a mad bull, and the Soviets are the matadors who are harvesting our lives with javelins! You are so willing to listen to this brainless guy's blind orders "Michelle?"

Although he did not comment on gunner Klink's loud complaint, Wittmann, who knew what he should do now, took the lead and responded to Lieutenant Heizenauer.

"The order is confirmed, we will act now, Lieutenant."

"Koldenhoff, turn the car body! Aim the fighting room head-on at Ivan's T34 tank and prepare for battle!"

Before he finished speaking, he finally turned his unfinished words to the gunner Klink. Obviously, as a commander, Michel Wittmann was not very satisfied with what Klink just said.

"Lieutenant Heizenauer has his own reasons for giving this order, Klink. We all know what to do as a soldier when receiving an order from a superior. Do you still need me to teach you this? Klink. Link!"

"Tch, he's just an idiot."

Whispering curses that only he could barely hear, gunner Klink, who was quite dissatisfied with Lieutenant Heizenauer's commanding skills, still chose to obey the command of commander Wittmann and began to Move your right eye to the main gun sight in front of you, preparing to aim the muzzle at the target and fire.

As the German army came to their senses, they began to turn around and aim their guns at the T34 tank, which had begun to retreat under the command of Second Lieutenant Iushkin. Armor-piercing bullets of various calibers poured down like raindrops began to hit Iushkin. Explosions fell around the second lieutenant's vehicle and stirred up clouds of dust. A large number of armor-piercing bullets directly hit the body and turret of the T34 tank, making a deafening sound.

At this critical moment, a T34 tank with the three Arabic numerals 177 printed in white paint on the side of the turret crushed a building on the other side of the German column amidst the roar of the 500-horsepower diesel engine. He rushed straight out from behind the wooden house on the side.

Holding the sight of the main gun in front of him, he looked at the German tanks in front of him, which were only a few dozen meters away and had the back of the turret's head and butt exposed to him. Malashin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and couldn't help but let out a grin. Ke immediately stepped on the launch pedal under his feet without hesitation.

boom--

The 76mm hooded armor-piercing grenade was shot directly from the butt of a German Panzer III tank as effortlessly as cutting through a whole cream cake. This shot penetrated the rear armor of the tank and continued to advance and penetrate. The hood armor-piercing grenade in the engine compartment was immediately triggered by the warhead collision delay fuse.

When the warhead warhead with an explosive yield of 108 grams of TNT detonated inside the engine compartment, the vaporized gasoline that volatilized throughout the engine compartment and the fuel tank containing most of the fuel immediately burst out with a burst of bright fire and loud noises. The poor No. 3 tank had its entire engine compartment blown up, and even the engine wreckage that was blown into two pieces was thrown far away by the powerful impact.

Amidst the huge buzzing sound, he shook his head vigorously to force himself to maintain a clear consciousness. Heizenauer, who had just recovered from the strong shock wave of the friendly fire explosion, completely recovered his hearing, and his face was ferocious. The gunner Wolfe's shout, which he shouted loudly at him, was almost as inaudible to Lieutenant Heizenauer as the crow of a chicken.

"Heizenauer, we are surrounded! There is not one Soviet T34! They are four! Four! We are now surrounded by enemies from both sides. You must think of a way!"

Heize, who forced his ears that were almost completely deaf and barely discerned what Wolfe wanted to express based on the ferocious and urgent expression on his face, shook his head to confirm that his vision was not affected. Naur then raised his head and moved his eyes to the sight of the commander's command tower to confirm the situation. However, the scene as terrifying as hell almost instantly shocked the experienced armored commander. The official was shocked.

"Damn it, these Ivans were fooled! How could they have ambushed so many T34 tanks in the village!? This is impossible!"
