Major Lorenz looked at the KV-1 tank, and sure enough, he saw a slender antenna sticking out of the front left side of the tank's armor, and immediately thought of the battlefield investigation report he had obtained during the battle in Hungary.

Unlike the German Panzers, which were equipped with radios on every tank, Soviet tank units were only equipped with radios on the officers of the company commander and above.

He was so careless that he had forgotten such details, Major Lorenz reproached himself in his heart.

A moment later, Major Lorenz and Captain Nietzsche and Captain Nobel jumped out of the armored car and ran to Chen Dao's side.

Captain Nietzsche saw Chen Dao looking at him, shook the MP40 submachine gun in his hand and said: "There may be surviving tankmen in the tank, we must be careful."

Captain Nobel waved his sapper shovel and said, "If they dare to resist, I will pry open their turret hatch and throw a few grenades into it." ”

Chen Dao nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's pretty much the same, remember to go up from the side and avoid the machine guns in front and behind the turret." ”

The four men walked up to the KV-1 tank and saw that the right track of the tank was broken, and the turret was pointing diagonally to the left at a thirty-degree angle.

Chen Dao cautiously walked to the position close to the front of the car, and when he looked at the position of the tank's shot, he saw that there was a rounded bullet hole in the steel plate directly in front of the front armor near the driver's observation hole.

In addition to this bullet hole, which was fatal, the other large and small craters on the armor on the sides of the tank looked shocking, but none of them pierced the steel plates.

Chen Dao was no longer a rookie on the battlefield, and he immediately had an assessment of the tank's injuries in his heart.

He waved to Major Lorenz. Pointing to the KV-1 tank, he said affirmatively: "There are living ones in it, shout for them to come out and surrender." ”

Major Lorenz shouted at the tank: "Listen, I know you are still alive. Don't leave anything to chance, if you can't escape, come out and surrender immediately, the Germans - the army will give preferential treatment to prisoners, and you will receive treatment corresponding to your rank. ”

Major Lorenz muttered a paragraph in Russian, but there was no sound in the tank, and there was no movement in the hatch of the tank. Still quietly fastened to the turret.

Waving his hand to Major Lorenz, Chen Dao said, "Then shout, threaten them." Force them out. ”

Major Lorenz then shouted, his tone becoming more serious.

"You have done your duty as soldiers, the war is now over for you, and any more stubborn resistance will only increase unnecessary casualties. If you choose to resist to the end. We'll pry open your hatches. Then throw grenades. ”

Major Lorenz had just finished shouting, the hatch on the turret was pushed open, and one arm stretched out, seeing that arm, Chen Dao spat out the cigarette he had just lit in his mouth, and bent down to crouch down against the tank track.

Major Lorenz was not slow to react, he rushed to the tank with one lunge, crawling on the grass with his tracks on his side. Almost at the same time, Captain Nobel and Captain Nietzsche came to his side.

Chen Dao and the four of them had just huddled together on the side of the tank tracks. The arm stretched out from the hatch bent down, shook the TT-33 pistol in his hand, and fired wildly blind at the direction where the four men were standing.

The crisp sound of the pistol firing instantly overpowered all noise, the bullets smacked on the grass, and two bullets hit the body on the right side of the tank, creating a dazzling fire.

After quickly emptying a magazine, the arm holding the gun swooped back into the turret, not forgetting to close the hatch with him.

Five or six seconds later, Chen Dao lay on the ground, stretched out a finger to Major Lorenz, and drew a semicircle in the air, Major Lorenz nodded to show that he understood, and then bent around the rear of the tank, turned to the left side of the tank, quietly glanced at the turret, and saw that the hatch on the turret had been closed, so he went back to the right side of the tank according to the original way.

"The enemy has retreated, should we find a few infantry to come and kill them." Major Lorenz asked.

Chen Dao waved his hand at the battlefield and said, "Don't you see that the infantry around you are busy?" Such a trifle should not bother the infantry, we can handle it ourselves. ”

Chen Dao patted Captain Nobel on the shoulder and stretched out his right hand to him.

"Give me the grenades and I'll kill them."

Getting the grenade, Chen Dao bent down and touched the front of the tank, carefully avoiding the firing range of the machine gun in front of the car, and pressed the explosive part of the M24 long-handled grenade against the bullet hole of the steel plate, which was punched out of the 75 mm armor-piercing bullet of the No. 4 G tank, and the explosive part of the M24 grenade was 70 mm in diameter, and there was no pressure to put it in.

Chen unscrewed the fuse of the grenade, pulled the fuse, and then pushed the grenade into the bullet hole.

Who knew that the explosive part of the grenade had just been stuffed in, and Chen Dao suddenly felt a fierce pulling force coming from the grenade.

Caught off guard, the grenade came out of his hand and got into the tank.

Chen Dao was stunned on the spot, the feeling just now seemed to be that the tanker in the car couldn't wait to snatch the grenade.

Are the Soviet tankmen in the car impatient? He actually took the initiative to snatch the grenade that pulled the line.

Chen Dao's shock lasted for not even two seconds, and his hair suddenly stood on end, almost piercing the military hat on top of his head.

That grenade, well, the M24 grenade with white smoke drilled out again down the bullet hole.

My day!

Chen Dao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and pounced on the right side of the tank at lightning speed, and shouted loudly: "All lie down." ”

The moment Chen Dao threw himself on the grass on the right side of the tank, he heard a loud bang behind him.

"Buzz"

Chen Dao heard a strong tinnitus in his ears, as if countless bees had burrowed into his ears.

"Are you alright? Excellency. Major Lorenz hurriedly helped Chen Dao up.

"It's fine." Chen Dao raised his head, spit out the blades of grass in his mouth, stood up and stared at the KV-1 tank beside him, and said viciously: "Let's go up, pry open the hatch, and blow them up." ”

Captain Nietzsche climbed onto the tank and pointed his submachine gun at the hatch of the tank's turret.

Captain Nobel climbed up to it and shoved a sapper shovel into the gap in the hatch. Then pry hard.

As soon as the action of the two began, Chen Dao heard a faint shout from the tank.

It's just that this shout is in Russian, and Chen Dao can't understand it. He turned to look at Major Lorenz.

"Did you hear the shouts of the Russians in the tank? What are they talking about? ”

Major Lorenz shook his head and said, "No, I didn't hear what they were saying. ”

As soon as Major Lorenz finished speaking, he heard a screeching noise.

The tank's turret, which had been stationary, suddenly turned unwillingly and swung in the direction where Captain Nobel was standing.

Captain Nobel and Captain Nietzsche were taken aback, their bodies being squeezed by the turning turret and standing unsteadily. Had to jump off the tank in a hurry.

"Be careful, it also has a machine gun behind its turret, get down." Chen Dao shouted and bent down first. Dodge the tail of the turret pointed at its own machine gun muzzle.

He had barely bent down when the sound of machine-gun fire rang out, and a barrage of bullets flew over his head and landed on the ground in the distance.

See no hit. The turret of the KV-1 heavy tank continued to turn. The muzzle of the gun pointed at a No. 4 tank more than 200 meters away, and fired a shot on the ground, but it missed because of the hasty fire.

Because of the grenade explosion, the crew of the No. 4G tank had long been attracted by the movement on this side, the front of the body

It had already turned here, and the muzzle of the gun was also pointed at the KV-1 tank, which could not be resurrected suddenly.

Chen Dao saw that the No. 4 G tank was pointing at the KV-1 tank next to him, but he didn't fire, and instantly figured out what they were afraid of. Hurriedly half-squatted up and waved vigorously to the No. 4 tank opposite. Tell them not to worry about themselves and open fire immediately.

Chen Dao's arm waved less than twice, and Major Lorenz and Captain Nobel grabbed both shoulders and ran away from the KV-1 tank.

As soon as he ran more than ten meters away, Chen Dao heard the roar of a tank gun behind him again.

The second round of the battle between the KV-1 tank and the No. 4G tank broke out, and the heavy shelling sounded, but it lasted only two or three minutes before disappearing.

The KV-1 tank was powerful, but it could not move because of the broken tracks, and faced the siege of the No. 4G tank, which had an overwhelming numerical advantage, and was slaughtered twice, with four or five more dents and three bullet holes on the body, and the muzzle of the gun hung weakly to the ground.

After confirming that the No. 4 tank group had stopped firing, Chen Dao and the three of them cautiously got up from the grass and looked at the KV-1 tank that was dying and struggling and being beaten.

"It shouldn't move anymore, let's try again. I'm sure there must be important information hidden in its cabin. Chen Dao said unrelentingly.

Major Lorenz's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Your Excellency, please go back to the armored car and wait, we can go, please pay attention to your identity, you can't take any more risks."

"No, it took so much effort to brush shoulders with death twice, I have to see what that guy in the tank looks like."

Chen Dao rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the KV-1 tank, Major Lorenz and Captain Nobel smiled bitterly, so they had to follow Chen Dao helplessly, staring at the KV-1 tank covered in bullet marks, lest he be resurrected.

Just as Chen Dao was walking towards the KV-1 tank, in the turret of the KV-1 tank, which was the focus of the battlefield, Lieutenant Colonel Antonov, commander of the 57th Tank Regiment of the 29th Tank Division of the 11th Mechanized Army of the Soviet Union, was secretly observing the three Chen Dao who were walking over through the commander's observation window on the turret, holding the TT-33 pistol tightly in his right hand.

The German general was getting closer and closer, and he should have risked his last attempt to see if he could kill him, or he should have resorted to playing dead and trying to avoid the German search.

It's just that looking at the posture of the German general, I want to look inside the tank and see if he and his subordinates are really dead, and I am afraid that the strategy of playing dead will not succeed.

Lieutenant Colonel Antonov hesitated, and a cautious voice suddenly came from under him.

"Comrade Regiment Commander, should we go out and surrender? The Germans are approaching us. ”

It was Vasily the loader who spoke, the only survivor of the crew of the five-person car, except for Antonov.

"Be quiet, the Germans are getting closer to us. We must not surrender, we must have angered the Germans by what we have just done, and if we do, with the barbarism of the Germans, we will surely be shot immediately. ”

"But they said they were preferential"

"Shut up, those are just lies that they deceive us, only a fool would believe." Antonov scolded.

"So what should we do, do we want to kill ourselves? We originally had four people surviving, and when the Germans approached for the first time, Zaitsev advised you to surrender, but you didn't listen, and you chose to resist. It's good now, Zaitsev and Kosolov were killed by German shells, and the blood they splashed on my face is still hot, do you want to kill me to be willing? Vasily said quickly.

Antonov could hear that Vasily's voice was already crying, and knew that the spirit of the loader, who was only nineteen years old, had reached the point of collapse, and he did not hesitate at the moment.

"We're blocking one last time, and if we win the bet, we might be able to escape the Germans. Then wait until it gets dark, and when the Germans leave, we can run away. ”

"What's the solution?" Vasily asked.

"Suicide." Antonov said.

Chen Dao walked to the KV-1 tank, looked at the scarred tank body, and couldn't help but admire: "This tank is really lucky, such a serious injury did not ignite its fuel tank." ”

"You go up and pry open the hatch, remember to be careful, there may be surviving tankmen inside." Chen Dao said.

Major Lorenz quickly climbed onto the tank, picked up the sapper shovels that had fallen on it, and continued to pry the hatch, but stopped as soon as they started because they heard a loud shout coming from inside the turret.

Chen Dao shouted excitedly: "The Russians inside are still alive, and their vitality is really tenacious, what do they say?" ”

Major Lorenz listened carefully for a while, and then said to Chen Dao sentence by sentence: "The Russians inside say the German fascists outside, you can hear clearly. We are the great Soviet Red Army, a glorious army with Comrade Lenin as the mentor and Comrade Stalin as the faith, and you evil German fascists and shameless aggressors can certainly achieve a temporary victory, but the evil war you launched will surely fail, and the final victory will definitely belong to the Soviet Union. I will not surrender to you even if I die. Long live the Soviets, long live Stalin. ”

"Bang" A gunshot rang out from inside the turret of the tank.

Chen Dao's eyebrows jumped, and he asked Major Lorenz in surprise, "They actually committed suicide?" ”

As soon as Chen Dao's words fell, two more high-pitched shouts came from the tank cabin: "Long live the Soviets, long live Stalin." ”

"Bang" another crisp gunshot rang out. (To be continued.) )
