Imperial Overlord

"Karleus! I hit him!" Gunner Till shouted loudly on the radio: "Next tank! Where is the next tank? William, armor-piercing shells, reload! Reload!"

"11 o'clock! Turn the turret! Quick!" Karius was also very maneuverable, and gave his instructions loudly: "Erich! Hold on! They are at a distance! Hold on!"

"Boom!" A shell shot out and flew towards the Soviet T-26 tank in the distance.

Very easily, it penetrated the front armor of the tank and destroyed the Soviet tank that was constantly approaching the German position.

Although the KV-2 tank has created unprecedented pressure on the German tank crew, there are so few KV-2s that these poor guys are almost invisible on the battlefield.

With the rapid advance of the German army, this KV-2 tank was seen on some roads. They were abandoned by the Soviets eager to retreat due to various failures, and blown up by the roadside waiting for the Germans to recover.

Recycling these heavy weapons and equipment is definitely a challenge for the German army. Germany does not have a trailer for a 50-ton tank, so it is very difficult to recover these big guys.

The Soviet tanks rushed one after another, trying their best to pass the wreckage of the friendly tanks and rushed towards the positions of the German tanks.

Accompanying the attack with these Soviet tanks, there were also an unknown number of Soviet soldiers. Countless of them, they were densely approaching where the German tanks were stationed.

Joseph is reloading the heading machine gun in front of him, and it can be seen that he is very busy now.

The enemy rushed over like a tide, which caused a lot of pressure on him: "I'm out of bullets! They have too many infantry!"

"God! Aren't they really afraid of death? Or are they all crazy?" Joseph complained loudly while putting the bolt on his machine gun and pulling the bolt.

Then his machine gun roared again, and the tracer bullets rushed into the crowd densely, and all of a sudden a blood mist was splashed.

The closer to Minsk, the more frantic the Soviet resistance. They seemed to have broken free from the initial chaos and began to fight back in an organized manner.

It is a pity that because of the great purge, their grassroots commanders lacked the ability to respond and deal with emergencies, and the counterattacks were often directly defeated by the German army.

Moreover, it is hard to deny that there is a huge technological gap between the vast majority of Soviet tanks, in fact, and the tanks used by the Germans.

The Soviet Union's most equipped T-26 tank is obviously more vulnerable than the German tank's most equipped No. 3 and No. 4 tanks.

And the vast majority of German tanks are equipped with radio equipment, while Soviet tanks are rarely equipped with such slightly expensive things.

Therefore, in terms of tactical coordination, the German armored forces are significantly better than the Soviet armored forces. Even two years later, this gap is still obvious.

With a sound of "Boom!", the opposite Soviet tank finally approached a distance of 500 meters, and a T-26 tank led by it fired a cannon.

The shell hit the parapet on the left side of the Panther tank in Karjus, knocking the bricks on the parapet to pieces in an instant.

Some splattered sand hit the armored steel plate of the Panther tank, and the crackling sound was like sitting in a car listening to the rain outside.

"Damn it! The Soviets are fighting back! Fire back! Tyr! Fire!" Karius ordered loudly.

"Boom!" Following Karyus's order, Tyr fired another cannonball. As the body vibrated, a shell rushed towards the target in one stroke.

Unbiased, Karjus' shell penetrated the front armor plate of another T-26 tank, leaving a hole in it.

Then the Soviet tank exploded and was blown into countless pieces of scrap iron by its own ammunition and loaded gasoline.

"The thick smoke from its explosion blocked our vision! Captain! I can't find the target!" Tyr complained loudly in his earphones, and reminded loudly: "Armor-piercing bullets! Loading!"

"I must owe you in my last life!" Karius pushed open the commander's hatch of his tank, then stuck his head out, followed by Karius' voice in Tyre's earphones: "Tyr! Go a little further to the left! There's a T-26! It's parked!"

Tyre smiled suddenly, so happy that he finally found a captain that suits him this time, a captain who can follow him and entrust his life.

Laughing, he adjusted the tank's turret and finally found what he was aiming for in the scope.

Because the turret was twisted, the shooting parameters had to be recalibrated, so he pulled the trigger of the coaxial machine gun, and a row of tracer bullets hit the target.

The bullet splattered a patch of sparks from the hapless T-26's front armor plate, proving that Thiel had no problem aiming.

So he quickly pressed the firing device of the main gun, and the next second, as the back seat of the gun came back, the entire body of the No. 111 tank trembled, and an armor-piercing projectile went straight to the Soviet tank.

It was as if a giant hammer slammed into a person's face at once, and the huge force of the armor-piercing projectile changed the shape of the turret of the T-26 tank.

Karjus ignored the Soviet soldier's bullet that hit the tank hatch not far away from him, laughed and watched the turret of the T-26 tank on the opposite side fly to the side, and rolled out of the car body that was left in place. A dazzling flame.

"Surrender! Surrender!" At some point, someone among the Soviet soldiers shouted this word in German, even suppressing the sound of gunfire.

At this time, Kent's No. 112 tank was still firing, and the bullets hit the Soviet soldiers, making a puff puff sound.

After a few more seconds, when the German tanks stopped firing, the scene suddenly fell silent.

All the Soviets seemed to be looking at Karjus, the young German tank commander who stuck his head out of the turret.

"Crash." A Soviet soldier threw his weapon on the ground and raised his hands high.

A simple German word came out of his mouth. Although it was a little non-standard, it surrendered abnormally: "Surrender! Surrender!"

The Soviet soldier's movements were also obvious. After he dropped his weapon, he raised his hands high.

Then, in the next second, one after another Soviet soldiers threw their weapons on the ground in front of them, and soon all of them handed over their weapons, squatting on the road with their heads in their hands like a group of lambs to be slaughtered. both sides.

A moment ago, they had attacked fiercely, but this second they became docile creatures like rabbits.

The last counter-attacking T-26 tank burned on the field, and from time to time the sound of detonated ammunition exploding could be heard.

But the battlefield is still very quiet, quietly let everyone know: the battle here is over, everything is over!

In the middle of the field, in addition to the burning tanks, there were also the bodies of at least 100 Soviet soldiers lying down.

Including the first attack that the Germans had repelled before, the Soviet counterattack here appeared to have a battalion of troops.

Even after Karjus entered the village, he found a Soviet 76.2mm caliber artillery in the open space, which was definitely well-equipped.

The Soviets' counterattack here was within the expectations of the German army. If they were not prepared for a counterattack here, they would have no chance to counterattack.

"Company commander! Please tell the battalion commander, we repelled the Soviet counterattack! We occupied the village behind them!" Karyus held down the radio and reported to his commander on the battalion channel.

"The battalion headquarters is approaching us. We are too far from the 1st Regiment of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division. Let's rest here!" The company commander said on the radio.

"Okay! I heard that General Guderian is actively planning a new attack. He wants to advance to Borisov the day after tomorrow!" Karjus smiled and pressed the throat communicator and said to his company commander .

"Maybe! No matter where he's going, we must have enough gasoline!" Even through the intercom, the company commander's dissatisfaction could be heard.

What the entire army needs is a rest, rather than continuing to attack. Company 1 has lost 3 tanks, and now there are no 11 tanks that can participate in the battle.

The overall situation of the 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion was more serious: they had 40 tanks on March 20, and on April 3, only 30 tanks were left to use.

Company 1 is in the best condition with 11 tanks; Company 2 has only 10 tanks that can still participate in the battle; Company 3 is the worst with only 9 tanks left.

A large number of tanks broke down in the middle of the road due to failures, and the high-intensity operations and the chaos of the logistics supply and maintenance troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ all caused the reduction of the Panther tanks.

In addition, mines also brought casualties to German armored forces from time to time. At present, anti-tank mines have become the most effective means of destroying Panther tanks in the Soviet Union.

The attack speed for two consecutive days was too fast, and Karyus's troops had bypassed Minsk, almost encircling the nearby Soviet troops.

In this huge pocket, there were almost 400,000 Soviet troops, similar to the number near Brest, and they were also light infantry with no possibility of breaking through.

After all, Khrushchev still did not have the courage of Timoshenko. At the most critical moment, he left his troops and fled to Smolensk.

Zhukov, who took over the command of the Central Theater Command, had not figured out what to do after taking office, and he was about to face the fact that the troops were defeated.

He could only relocate his headquarters to Smolensk, where he continued to command the retreat of the troops.

Now, the dozens of divisions in the pockets of Minsk are leaderless, let alone breaking through, even deploying defenses, it seems very reluctant.
