Imperial Overlord

In theory, the Soviet defense near Krupki ended in failure. But before these units completely collapsed, they would still cause countless troubles for the Germans.

For example, Karjus, who was on an attacking Panther tank, was stymied by trouble.

A reinforced armored division of the Soviet army was smashed by artillery fire, and was on the road of his attack, desperately blocking the German tanks.

These Soviet tanks are covered with dense vegetation leaves, which have a good concealment effect.

They avoided the blockade of the Luftwaffe and spread out in ambushes, delaying the advance of German tanks.

"The gun it fired just now at a distance of about 300 meters... is just a bunch of bastards." Looking at the shallow crater on his tank, the driver Erich said depressedly.

And about 350 meters in front of the place where Karjus was parked, a Kv-1 tank that was penetrated by the shell was smoking black smoke there.

The other party was hidden in a farm, and it could be said that only one gun barrel was exposed. If the angle is not too bad, maybe the shell just now will really penetrate the armor of the Panther tank.

After the Soviet tanks opened fire, even Karjus and others did not find the other party. They waited until the other party's second artillery missed, and then found the other party's position.

After all, the farm has a certain angle with the road, so in order to pursue camouflage, the shooting angle of the kv-1 tank was too large, and finally the armor of the Panther tank bounced off the shells.

Although this gun did not penetrate the armor of the Panther tank, it also made Karius break out in a cold sweat.

His Panther tank gearbox was damaged and he was paralyzed on the road. This result made it impossible for them to move forward, and could only wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

The one who directly faced the risk of death was Erich, the driver behind the steel plate. If the steel plate was broken down, there was still a small chance that he would be spared, but he was dead.

The other one who also survived the disaster was Mr. Joseph, an electromechanical operator. He also had to rely on the steel plate in front of him to protect himself, and there was nothing else to block him.

And the two of them were indeed shocked by the sudden shot. Both of them would probably be dead if they didn't react fast enough to destroy that wonderfully hidden kv-1.

"Have a good rest Kent... If he hadn't discovered the kv-1 tank, we might have died here." Erich, who was terrified, looked at the front armor plate that was about to be penetrated. He sighed.

"Yeah! If it wasn't for them, maybe we would really die here." Karyus didn't care too much, he was also frightened by the attack just now.

Groups of Soviet tanks are actually not terrible. The Germans could easily destroy those enemy tanks at a long distance, but they were afraid of the Soviet tank troops who ambushed themselves.

"The maintenance car may not come here until the afternoon..." Gunner Till reluctantly leaned on the body of the tank, looked at Karius and said.

"The problem with our tank is not something that the maintenance car can handle." Looking at the steel plate in front, the loader William said with a guilty conscience.

This tank has been through so many battles that it seems like some strong man can't count on it to continue to maintain its sturdy and durable qualities.

The tow truck will drag the tank to a nearby repair area, and then find a time to transport it back to the rear for large-scale factory repairs.

Tank maintenance in the field state is actually unable to deal with the bullet marks of the car body. Although this shell did not penetrate the armor, it has seriously affected the armor protection strength of the car body.

Such a tank is destined to be unable to continue to participate in the battle, and it is the car of the German star tank commander, and of course it is impossible to continue to use it.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that Karjus will not be able to return to the front line to continue fighting in a short period of time.

However, they still had to advance with their tank battalion, because their battalion was still in the order of operations and had not been rested to the rear.

At this moment, the troops of the 505th Independent Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion have been driving for a long time, and Kent and others are still advancing.

Karyus was ordered to wait in place until a more professional tank maintenance troop passed by before leaving.

They looked to their tank and were responsible for protecting it from being damaged or stolen by the Soviet rout until friendly repair troops arrived.

"Look! Look over there!" Leaning on the body of the tank, he looked at Tyr, the gunner in the distance, and saw another German troop passing by in the distance.

The troop could be seen from a distance, because the other party obviously did not intend to hide their arrival.

One after another, the Panther tanks were advancing on the road, raising the billowing smoke and looking spectacular.

"Is it the 502nd Battalion?" Although he said so, Karius still looked at the mp-38 submachine gun in his hand.

Then he looked at his comrade-in-arms and said, "Go back to the tank and prepare the shells! Erich, you are on the flank!"

Erich looked at the pistol in his hand with a wonderful expression on his face. But soon the alarm was lifted, because in the telescope, they could clearly see the iron cross on the other side's tank.

"Look! Who is it? The No. 111 tank is paralyzed!" A Panther tank stopped next to Karyus' tank, and the commander sitting on the tank turret had a smile on his face.

"What? Was ambushed?" The opponent obviously did not intend to leave immediately~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The road was wide, so other Panther tanks began to bypass the friendly forces in the middle of the road and continued to drive forward.

Karjus looked at the panther tank with all the records on its barrel that didn't stop and passed in front of him, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at the provocative commander.

"Your company commander has already driven past, you'd better follow quickly." The young Karjus looked up at the Panther tank parked in front of him and said loudly.

The other party didn't have time to really stop and clash with friendly forces here, it was just a matter of words.

So, after seeing that Wittmann's tank didn't stop, the other party didn't want to stop, so he let his tank start with a cold snort.

"Follow us and eat ashes! Wittmann's record will surpass you sooner or later!" The other party put down a harsh word before leaving, and then left without looking back.

"I hope to follow them forever without risking my life." Looking at the distant 502 battalion, the electromechanical operator Joseph whispered.
