Imperial Overlord

Holding the binoculars in his hand, Wittmann, the ace commander, looked at the Soviet military positions in the distance, not knowing what to say.

The battle he, or the German panzer commanders would most like to fight, was to go head-to-head with Soviet tanks.

The kind of collision between giants, because the quality of the Soviet tanks and the technical and tactical level of the Soviet commanders are limited, so they often end in a German victory.

What Wittmann hates most is attacking the enemy's defensive positions, which is definitely a very pessimistic behavior.

Because in this case, deadly ammunition may fly from any direction on the position - as long as the angle is right, even an anti-tank rifle may destroy a Panther tank.

However, today's German army is always in an offensive state, and can only wait for the Soviet tank troops to come to find itself, but cannot consciously find the Soviet tank troops for a decisive battle.

As long as the Soviet tank units did not take the initiative to meet, the Germans could only go in the direction of the established offensive.

"It's embarrassing for us to cover the infantry." Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Wittman pointed to the Soviet line of defense in front of him: "It really looks like the same thing!"

Behind the anti-tank trenches were Soviet infantry defense positions, and further in depth, there were machine gun positions and bunkers for anti-tank guns.

Considering that the Soviet army may set up false targets and some reserve positions, attacking these real and fake bunkers in advance is definitely not worth the loss.

What is even more depressing is that the Soviet army has many, many infantrymen who can fill such a line of defense and fight a two-for-one war of attrition with the German troops.

"There must be hidden anti-tank guns on the flanks. It is estimated that the caliber will not be too large, but it is very dangerous!" Wittmann said reluctantly, unwilling to perform the task of covering the infantry attack.

His gunner nodded and said in agreement, "Yeah, it's really a waste to let the 501 armored battalion cover the infantry's assault on the enemy's position."

"News from the battalion headquarters! Commander!" Pressing his earphones, the electromechanical engineer Ehoff heard the voice in the radio communication and opened his mouth to remind Wittmann who was standing on the tank.

Hearing the reminder of his electromechanical operator, Wittmann drilled back into the turret from the hatch on the turret, put the earphone on his ear, and pressed the throat communicator: "Batch commander! Are you looking for me?"

"Yes! There is a new order from the cluster headquarters! We don't have to attack this line of defense, we can just attack south along it!" In the headset, the battalion commander's order came intermittently.

After Wittmann heard the news, his frowning brows finally stretched out: "This is really good news, it seems that General Guderian doesn't want us to suffer losses in vain!"

"Is our battalion going south too?" Wittman asked, wondering if the battalion commander could hear what he said.

After a while, the radio at the battalion headquarters resumed: "Yes, go south! Your company continues to attack south! Target Kaluga!"

"Kaluga! I like this direction! Let them see how good our battalion is!" Wittmann leaned on his seat proudly and said to the battalion commander with a smile, "I'll send the order right away! "

Behind the slope, the German Panther tanks started one after another, turned the tanks around, and marched into the distance.

They were not far from Kaluga, and soon reached the town outside Moscow. It's just that there are also Soviet troops here, so it's not an empty city.

After the capture of Smolensk, the Germans could no longer encounter the situation where the Soviets abandoned the city.

In any case, the soldiers of the Soviet army were stationed at their posts, trying their best to face the German army in front of them.

The same goes for the Soviet troops near Kaluga. They built a weak line of defense around the town, and arranged heavy fire points such as heavy machine guns.

The battle soon kicked off, and only after Wittmann fired a shot did he realize that he seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest...

"Boom!" Kaluga's city flank, a T-26 tank rushed out from the reverse slope. Then a massive tank battle started like this.

"Look at 11 o'clock! Soviet tanks!" Wittmann reminded his gunner, Karl Wegener, in front of the commander's periscope.

Carl Wegner did not speak, he calmly aimed at the first target he saw, and fired a conventional armor-piercing projectile.

"Boom!" The T-26 tank was easily pierced by the shell and turned into a burning flame.

But on the side of this burning tank, more Soviet tanks came out, and even more threatening KV-1 tanks could be seen faintly behind these tanks.

"It's the main division of the Soviet Union! The Armored Division!" Wittmann just glanced at the number of Soviet tanks counterattacking, and guessed the formation of the opposing Soviet tank troops.

Those who dare to encounter the German armored forces and do not retreat, the smallest scale is also the level of the tank regiment. And the one who dared to fight back in the first time, then 80% is a tank division.

Seeing the counterattacking Soviet tanks, Wittmann's first reaction was excitement rather than depression. He really hoped that he could collide with a Soviet tank unit, because then he would have a chance to regain his position as the number one tank ace of the German army!

Karjus is still several records ahead of him, so he has to catch up to this small gap before Karjus returns to the front.

"Second one!" It seems that Karl Wegener is also eager to catch up with this gap. He is destroying the frontal Soviet tanks one after another. In the sights, the second Soviet tanks The army's T-26 tank caught fire and exploded into a splendid flame.

Behind Wittmann, more German tanks were ready for battle and began to meet Soviet tanks in the distance.

A Panther tank crossed the front of Wittmann's tank and approached behind a parapet, revealing only a turret, and calmly opened fire on the Germans.

The Soviet artillery shells hit the parapet, and a cloud of white smoke filled the air, proving that the Soviets were also fighting back and did not sit still.

"Two more! We will surpass Karius and the others!" Wittmann squeezed his fists and cheered loudly.

The Soviet army on the opposite side was not just two tanks, more tanks and various armored vehicles drove out, densely like ants, pouring out the reverse **** in the distance.

This kicked off the Kaluga Armored Battle, the largest tank battle between the Germans and the Soviets near Moscow for control south of Moscow.
