Chapter 151 Shaped Rockets and PTAB-1.5/2.5 Aerial Bombs

Watching as the tank group of the 12th Panzer Regiment of the SS was hit with more and more accurate firepower, one Soviet tank after another was fired a fatal blow from their KWK 75mm main gun, and the Soviet tanks were either destroyed or exploded violently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In particular, their vehicle-mounted machine gun ammunition was also blown up in the air, or because the tank was destroyed and caught on fire, and then exploded.

In a short time, 15 Soviet tanks were gradually destroyed into piles of scrap irons, billowing black smoke.

But in the face of the bombardment of the tank group of the 12th SS Panzer Regiment, and the loud roar of the 88mm guns of the Tiger tank, it was the attack of Ferdinand's tank destroyers and rampage steel monsters.

The soldiers of the 15th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army did not panic much, or scattered and fled.

Because the political instructors and experienced tankers in their units had trained these infantry in anti-tank tactics for about a month.

Therefore, these infantry did not immediately develop 'tank phobia' as soon as they saw the new and powerful Leopard and Tiger tank groups of the German army, because the Soviet army's anti-tank training was still very effective.

Moreover, the commander of the 15th Soviet Infantry Division, Makarovsky, and Ivan, the combat staff officer, and all the soldiers knew that 20 miles behind them, they had built a very strong and huge fortification of infantry trenches, minefields, and underground bunkers.

And this defense system also has the woods, forests, and every hill in the vicinity; Each collective farm was built into a deeper, more carefully camouflaged system of trenches.

And in these two defense systems, there are also a large number of anti-tank gun emplacements, half-buried tanks; artillery positions in depth echelon configurations, and multiple rocket launchers; and flamethrowers, as well as thousands of light and heavy machine gun nests.

And the most important thing is that the Soviet army not only established the most in-depth echelon configuration defense system in history in Kursk, but also they also have extremely powerful reserve forces, and the commander of the Central Front, Rokossovsky, is also very clever in deploying these reserve troops into various battlefields to fight.

Only on the occasion of the madness of the German Leopard and Tiger tank groups, and a massive offensive.

Reinforcements from the Soviet aviation are also dispatching DB7 and Il-2, as well as U2 and other types of aircraft groups, under the cover of the La-7 fighter group, to carry out large-scale incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs on the rear of the German army.

And not long after, the tank group of the SS 12th Panzer Regiment, which was still attacking the defensive positions of the 12th Infantry Division of the Soviet Union, was also bombarded indiscriminately by RBSK-82 shaped rockets loaded with mixed explosives dropped by the Soviet Il-2 strike group.

When these rockets hit the tank, they left a 35 mm diameter bullet hole in the armor, so a large amount of shrapnel entered the tank, increasing the lethality.

It is possible to penetrate 30 mm thick tank armor from any angle, and 50 mm thick armored tanks in a frontal attack.

This is because the rocket bounces off the surface of the armor and the fuse detonates, which then creates a powerful shaped jet......

In the face of the arrival of Soviet aviation reinforcements and a large-scale counterattack, the German aviation unit had just withdrawn from the battlefield and rested.

That is to say, on the German position at this moment, whether it is an offensive position or a defensive position; There were no aviation units to cover and annihilate the Soviet air forces.

"All tank groups immediately evacuated urgently, the Soviet air force is coming! Evacuate! Before they dropped the PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs, evacuate the battlefield! ”

"They're dropping RBSK-82 shaped rockets, and we've already had quite a few tanks destroyed!"

"Get out of the way! Their Il-2 strike aircraft are dropping PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs! ”

"It's really annoying, I'm still killing the rise! Soviet aviation reinforcements are coming, and it's a large-scale counterattack! ”

"No way! Who told our air force to suddenly withdraw like a shrunken turtle to rest! ”

"Everyone, get out! If you don't want to be destroyed by a car and die, evacuate immediately! And the order to retreat has been given to General Modell! If you don't listen to orders, then you are disobedient! ”

"Yes! Roger, Captain Hohenke! ”

At a time when the Soviet aviation reinforcements were carrying out dense and indiscriminate bombardment, all German tanks were rapidly withdrawing on all fronts.

All the Leopard tanks and Tiger tank groups, which were attacking the 15th Infantry Division of the Soviet Union, received the evacuation order from General Moder.

and those tanks that did not have time to evacuate, or were hit by RBSK-82 shaped rockets and airborne cannons of the Soviet Air Force on the way to evacuate, and destroyed; It can only tragically smoke or fire and explosion to interpret the tragedy of car crash and death.

And the tank crews of the tank groups who were able to successfully evacuate the battlefield and evade the attacks of the Soviet Il-2 fighters were all chattering enthusiastically......

And while they were talking about it, one after another Il-2 strike planes were carrying a large number of PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs, carrying out a frantic counterattack.

The area destroyed by these PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs is the size of a small suite of 15 to 18 square meters.

In addition, after the explosion, they will leave a large black crater almost 300 meters deep and 20 meters wide at the site of the attack.

All the German tanks in this crater will be destroyed, especially if these PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs are dropped in the German tank battle formation, then their lethality ability; It will be more powerful, and at least it will be able to destroy a tank with one bomb, and the bullet will not be missed.

"Miserable! The Germans began to drop a large number of PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs, and our defense and control guns quickly returned fire, and they were absolutely not able to get close to our tank army! Otherwise our tank group will be miserable! ”

Looking at the critical moment when the Soviet Army's Il-2 strike aircraft group, which seemed to be the embodiment of death, was constantly dropping hundreds of PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs, the division commander Frieze . Witt and SS Flag Captain Kut. Meyer and other high-ranking commanding officers of the SS12 Panzer Division immediately and decisively gave an urgent order.
