On the trembling plane, the German pilot, wearing a mask, looked at the smoke under his feet and shouted by radio: "I am diving!" Cover me! Cover me! ”

The Stuka dive bomber howls and dives downward, making a sound that alerts the people on the ground that their most hated weapon is on the spot.

Yes, hearing Stuka's distinctive howl scares the soldiers on the ground from the heart.

The Soviets on the ground looked up and saw a black dot rapidly enlarged in the smoke-blown sky just above their heads.

On the plane, the German pilot grabbed the joystick and pulled the switch of the cannon, his plane trembled even more, and the tracer bullets from the cannon rushed to the ground in his scope.

Because the plane was diving rapidly, the shells of the cannons cut two straight lines on the ground, cutting through the crowd of Soviet troops.

A Soviet soldier who was hit by a German cannon shell and his entire arm flew out, screaming and struggling on the ground, but no one cared about him.

Not far in front of him, another Soviet soldier was cut in two by a cannon shell, and his whole body was stained red with blood.

The first Stuka skimmed over the soldiers' heads, and then on the course of this Stuka a bombshell crashed down with a whistling sound.

"I've dropped a bomb! I've already dropped a bomb! Fire cover! Fire cover! The pilot on the Stuka tugged his joystick, causing the nose to jerk up.

The mechanics sitting behind him aimed their machine guns at targets on the ground, and then began strafing the infantry on the ground that tried to attack Stuka.

"Suddenly! Suddenly! Dodo! The second Stuka followed the dive, covering the first Stuka dive bomber to pull up.

Its cannon also punched two rows of bullet holes in the ground, splattering white dust.

The Soviet soldiers on the ground, who had just tried to stand up, lay down again, and no one wanted to raise their heads when an enemy plane flew overhead.

At this time, when the first plane flew by, the bombshell dropped exploded, and a T-26 light tank next to the bomb was blown away at once.

Including another KV-1 tank, which also stopped in this powerful explosion. The gearbox of this tank has always had problems, and there are often various failures.

In the shock of the explosion, the gearbox traveling mechanism failed, so the KV-1 tank was paralyzed in place and could no longer continue to advance with the large army.

On the other side, the second Stuka dive bomber, which had swooped down, had already dropped its own bomb.

The Soviet soldiers quickly lay down, and then the bomb exploded, directly destroying a T-34 tank.

The battle was at its most tense, and the Soviets had already seen the rooftops of Red Tekach on the heights, and their shells fell halfway up the mountainside, kicking up black smoke.

It was here that the Germans saw for the first time how capable and terrible the well-prepared Soviet army was.

The Soviets also really saw how huge the gap between themselves and the German army on the opposite side was. They had ten times as many troops, and they fought for so long without attacking the German positions.

Two German Stuka dive bombers pulled up their noses and entered the pull-up phase after the dive.

More dive bombers appeared over the battlefield, and the German army's air supremacy began to manifest itself.

The Il-2 attack aircraft, although strong and powerful, was no match for German fighters. Armed with 20 mm and 30 mm cannons, the new German fighter Ta-152 could easily take out these heavily armored flying tanks.

But the Stuka Stuka, a very famous dive bomber in the backward era, still plays an important role because of its good air cover.

As he pulled up, the German pilot, in his cramped cockpit, saw in the distance Soviet artillery positions that were being attacked by other German dive bombers.

This time, because the Soviet artillery risked opening fire, their positions were discovered by the German pilots on standby.

Now it was under siege by a dozen Stuka dive bombers, so there was simply no time to trouble the German ground forces.

The deadly shelling of the German positions just now is no longer possible. At present, the German armed forces still have a much stronger superiority than the Soviet Union in terms of joint operations.

After all, Germany has been playing with these things since the time of Sickert, and the Soviet army only learned the fur from cats and tigers after the start of the Soviet-German war.

The coordination between the Luftwaffe and the ground forces was based on effective radio communication and a long-standing tacit understanding.

To put it bluntly, the old German pilots, especially the dive bomber pilots, are used to cooperating with the ground forces.

If the Soviet army can quickly kill this group of German main pilots, or can consume the backbone of the German ground forces on a large scale, it may be able to effectively disrupt the tacit understanding and cooperation between the air force and the army.

But the Soviet army did not do this, eliminating a large number of elite German troops, so the German army still maintained a huge advantage in cooperation.

As the Soviet offensive became more and more intense, the Luftwaffe also became more and more supportive.

Soon, 30 Ju-88 horizontal bombers flew over the battlefield, and these big guys, who were supposed to bomb stationary targets, carried more bombs than the Ju-87 Stuka dive bombers.

These horizontal bombers flew over the battlefield in groups, and the psychological pressure on the Soviet troops was also enormous.

After carpet bombing was developed by the German army, this powerful bombing tactic also became the favorite of German horizontal bomber pilots.

Soon, the bombs dropped by these planes rained down on the entire war zone. There were explosions everywhere, screams and cries everywhere.

The area of bombing was concentrated on the northwestern flank of the German army, where the Soviet tanks were the most numerous and the attacks were the most violent.

The German Stalker tank destroyers had already been destroyed by the Soviets, and the rest were all wounded.

However, the position was still in the hands of the German soldiers, who still held on to their positions and did not take a half step back.

By this moment, Karjus's tanks had retreated to the village of Red Tekach, leaning against a low wall that had been blown down.

A rushing T-26 tank was pierced by the German infantryman's iron fist bazooka and collapsed on the hillside in front of Karjus, the burning black smoke making the entire hillside look very gloomy.
