Imperial Overlord

This time it was the turn of the German flanks to be overwhelmed, as they came under heavy attack from Soviet forces.

Although the Soviet Union lost half of its tanks, they still had an advantage in the number of local tanks.

The T-26 tank launched a local counterattack, which really made it very difficult for the German troops to deal with it.

After all, they are flanking German troops. After all, these troops are not as good as fist-like armored troops, with so many tanks and armored vehicles.

Therefore, for the first time, the Soviet counterattack gained an advantage. They penetrated the first layer of the German infantry defense line and began to develop in depth.

A Soviet tank commander stood next to the hull of his KV-1 tank and analyzed the battle situation in the area with more than a dozen tank commanders standing around him.

"The German troops are seriously insufficient. Compared with the frontal German troops, they may only have one-tenth of their strength." A commander pointed to the map and said to his companion.

They took a lot of advantage in the attack just now. About one battalion of the German troops was repelled by their own tanks, and even the German troops with both wings were retreating.

"Yeah! But we don't know how many German troops there are in the faraway village, or what weapons they have!" fought a war.

The Soviet Army was originally a force with great combat experience, but the grassroots turmoil brought about by the Great Purge has made them lose their basic organizational skills.

The entire Soviet army was slow and sluggish in movement, which was a world of difference compared to the agile German army.

Under this circumstance, a flank attack turned out to be effective, already showing the serious shortage of German troops on the flank.

All the German troops were on their way, thinking that the Soviets had been defeated, and the only thing left was to capture the prisoners.

It's not really to blame for the paralysis of the German high-level enemy: any commander, after taking 1 million prisoners, destroying 7,000 tanks, and killing almost 8,000 aircraft, will think that he has won.

Who would have thought that the Soviet army could still launch a local counterattack when almost 2 million troops were defeated and 1 million troops were retreating?

The result is that in this case, the Soviet Union really hit a counterattack, which of course surprised all the German top brass.

"It's too late to continue to stand here and analyze, the soldiers are very fast... The only way to expand the victory is to charge forward as much as possible!" In the end, the leader of the commander decided to paint a tiger like a cat.

After breaking through the frontal defenses, the German armored units would attack violently forward, hardly stopping to rest.

In this way, there is no need to kill or flank onslaught, disrupting the normal defense system of the Soviet Union, destroying the rear headquarters and nodes, and destroying the artillery positions...

Because of this, the Soviet armored soldiers decided to learn from the advanced experience of the Germans and attacked into the interior of the German-occupied area.

Everyone spread out and began to climb on their respective tanks. The T-26 tanks on the periphery started to start, and the KV-1 tanks at the core started to move slowly.

More than 50 Soviet tanks raised a black smoke and rushed towards the distant town quickly.

Most Soviet tanks had no radio communication. This is determined by the era of T-26 tank manufacturing, and also by the tactical thinking of Soviet tanks.

The Soviets have always emphasized the number of tanks and armored vehicles, not the quality of these tanks and armored vehicles.

After all, the caliber of the artillery and the thickness of the armor are hard data that the leaders can see. The communication capability and the reloading speed of the artillery are not easily asked by the lay leaders.

Like the commanders of the German armored forces, when the Soviet tanks were on their way, most of the time the commander's head was stuck out of the car.

Because the air in the car is really not very good, and the vision is also very limited. In addition, in the absence of radio contact, the situation around the car body needs to be observed by yourself.

Just as the Soviet tanks approached the small village not far away, what they didn't know was that there were a pair of eyes staring at them in the bushes in the distance.

In front of those eyes is a precision sight, the scale on it is now pressed exactly on the hull of a KV-1 tank.

Then, just after an order, the German gunner, who had aimed at the Soviet tank, pressed the firing mechanism.

"Boom!" With a loud fire, the KV-1 tank in the distance was suddenly paralyzed. Its tracks were all broken, and the body of the car stood motionless.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The Soviet tank commanders who stuck their heads out shouted loudly, trying to find the location of the other side.

But they couldn't find the killer hidden in the dark, and they didn't even see what the other party looked like.

"Boom!" The other party didn't intend to let these unfortunate Soviet tanks go. Another loud noise came, and another T-26 tank turned into fireworks.

The T-26 tank that was hit exploded, and the thick smoke raised blocked the view of the Soviet tanks behind.

The smoke billowed and the smell of burning fuel spread everywhere, and the Soviet tanks behind had no vision to continue to observe.

"Hey! What can you see?" Squinting his eyes, the most experienced Soviet tank commander shouted to a friendly commander in the distance.

"I can't see anything..." The commander of the T-26 tank had just shouted halfway when his T-26 tank was hit by a flying shell.

The huge penetrating force knocked off the turret of the tank at once, and the Soviet commander saw with his own eyes the upper half of his subordinate's corpse flew out with the turret.

"Damn it!" Frightened by the scene in front of him, he quickly retracted into his turret. The problem that most of the Soviet tanks did not have communication equipment was suddenly enlarged, and he could only contact a few KV-1 tanks.

"This is the new German tank! Otherwise they wouldn't have such powerful firepower!" a Soviet commander complained loudly in the tank.

They had seen the German Panther tank and were very impressed with the 88mm cannon.

But they still guessed wrong, because it is impossible for the German troops to waste the precious Panther tanks on the flanks for defensive use.

Attacking them is another new German infantry anti-tank weapon, the Stalker Tank Destroyer!

Moreover, intercepting in front of them were the troops of two anti-tank companies that came to put out the fire. They are equipped with a full 20 tank destroyers!

After all, they are not the main force responsible for the frontal attack, so they are not equipped with full weapons and equipment.

The anti-tank company that was supposed to be equipped with 15 tank destroyers was actually equipped with only 10.

This is Germany's usual tactic of expanding the army. By weakening each armored company, in the end, one-third of the troops can be made up to supply more needed places.

Although the force was not full, a company was only two-thirds of its strength. However, they have already chosen the interception position, forming a dense network of anti-tank firepower.

Shells came from all directions, destroying Soviet tanks one after another. This is a place similar to an ambush circle, and the Soviets suffered a big loss.

You must know that the rapid advancement of the German armored forces actually has various prerequisites. It looks very fast, and it is very cumbersome to cooperate.

It was not the German armored units that rushed forward, but the reconnaissance detachment. These units are nimble and very combative, literally the fists and eyes of an armored unit.

They probed the enemy's line of defense, found the weakest gap, and then guided their armored troops to smash through and break through the most vulnerable node.

In addition, the German armored forces are covered by a powerful air force! The plane will clear the path of friendly troops ahead of time, at least to clear most of the traps.

With these, only the crazy advance of the German armored forces! And this, in the real history, the Soviets have been learning until 1945, it seems that they have not learned the essence.

It is precisely these essences that made Germany invincible in 1941 and invaded the hinterland of the Soviet Union by leaps and bounds.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The Soviet commander watched in despair as his tanks were destroyed one by one by the Germans, and gave the order to retreat in desperation.

Just as he loudly ordered his troops to retreat on the radio, the scale on the sight of an artillery gun pressed on the hull of his tank.

Then, a heavy shell was shot out of the barrel and hit the front of the KV-1 tank.

Because of the distance, the shell penetrated the front armor of the KV-1 tank and destroyed the tank at once.

The officer in command of the Soviet tank was killed, and the tank unit he commanded was completely incapacitated. By the time they realized the situation was bad and retreated ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ had lost most of their forces.

By the time they retreated, the neighborhood was full of burning and exploding Soviet tanks. The Germans took the opportunity to close the gap in their defense line and stabilize their defense line.

The Soviet army's attempt to take the opportunity to expand the victory was completely shattered, and the German army successfully blocked the Soviet attack in this little-known village.

And, relying on a successful attack, more than 40 Soviet tanks were destroyed in one go!

The power of the Stalker tank destroyer is vividly reflected in the positional defense battle, and the 75mm caliber tank gun equipped by the German army has also proved its worth in actual combat!

At least in 1941, the German artillery unit used its own 75mm caliber artillery, earning itself the respect of other arms.

They became the backbone of the infantry line of defense, saving valuable German tank troops, and relying on low profile, powerful artillery, killed several times their own enemy——
