"And 14 shells!" William shouted as he pulled out a cannonball and loaded it into the chamber of the gun.

"Confirm the situation! What happened to the infantry in the village? Karjus pressed the throat intercom and asked loudly.

The commander of the infantry company replied depressedly: "We are about to lose our support!" The armored car was destroyed, and the mortar shells ran out in no time! ”

There is not a single building left in the Red Tekachs, which has been flattened by Soviet artillery fire, and all the German troops are now fighting in ruins.

Karjus's tank was parked behind a low wall, and the Soviets had actually spotted the German Leopard tank that was firing incessantly here.

It's just that their shells hit the low wall, so there was no way to hit the tank of Karyus.

On the other side, the No. 4 car of Karyus's platoon had been hit by several shells, and they had to reverse to the back of the village, barely saving their lives.

"We can't go back any further! If you give up Red Tekach, your allies on both flanks will be in danger! The infantry company commander pinched the radio communication microphone and shouted to Karyus.

To the northwest of the entire position, German tank destroyers and the main forces of the German troops were still holding their positions.

Although they retreated to the vicinity of the second line of positions, they did hold their positions and were not routed by the superior number of Soviet troops.

Fighting so far, Karyus can only stubbornly defend their flanks, allowing them to face the enemy in front of them with peace of mind.

"Keep firing! Hold one's ground! Dejectedly, Karyus ordered his crew: "Try to make sure that you can destroy the enemy's tanks before firing!" Save our ammo! ”

In fact, this time was reflected in the real history, the advantage of the Tiger tank - the Tiger tank is armed with 100 shells, and the sustained combat ability is quite strong.

Now, with the abolition of the Tiger tank, the German tank has adopted a lower profile, which seriously affects the amount of ammunition in reserve.

In peacetime, it is impossible to see because the supply is relatively timely, and when it comes to continuous combat under such extreme conditions, it is inevitable to fall into passivity.

Therefore, there is no weapon that is omnipotent, and there is no weapon that is not without merit. The difference is only in when and in what state these weapons are used.

"Boom!" Another shell was fired, and the armor-piercing shell hit its target straight at its own target, piercing the T-34 tank, which was stopping and firing.

The two T-34 tanks exploded and caught fire, and at once billowing smoke came out, blocking the view of the Soviet tanks behind.

Of course, billowing smoke also obscured Karjus's view, Soviet tanks were bypassing the wreckage of the destroyed tanks, and William was loading new ammunition.

"Boom!" At this moment, there was a deafening explosion in the distance, which was the ammunition inside a Leopard tank, because the tank had been broken and exploded.

"Car No. 5! Car No. 5! Please answer! Please answer! Karyus grabbed the intercom and exhaled loudly.

Unfortunately, no one answered his voice in the noisy radio channel. The slightly hoarse voice of the commander of car No. 5, who he was familiar with, never appeared.

"Car number 4! I'm Kaljus! Can you hear the answer from the captain of car No. 5? Check the situation of car No. 5! Check the situation of car No. 5! In desperation, Karyus could only call for car No. 4 behind him.

"I can't see car No. 5!" The commander of car No. 4 was already a little flustered at this time, the armor of the Leopard tank was quite thick and almost impossible to penetrate.

If Tank No. 5 was lost because it was broken down, it proved that their right flank defense had collapsed.

Originally, tank No. 5 was also temporarily sent over for reinforcements because the right flank was penetrated. As for what is happening to the right now, no one knows.

"Don't act rashly! It is impossible for the Leopard tank to penetrate the frontal! Karyus shouted through the intercom in his throat: "This means that car No. 5 was penetrated from the flank!" ”

If the Soviet tank moved to the flanks, it would be dangerous for the Leopard tank, whose side armor was not very thick.

Both the T-34 and the KV-1 tank had the potential to penetrate the side armor of the Leopard tank, so it is likely that the Soviet tank had already crossed the line of car No. 5.

In the slightly dimly lit hull, Karjus pulled out his hand-drawn map of the nearby area, on which he scribbled the approximate location of Tank 5.

Then he made a mark on both sides with a pencil and shouted loudly through the microphone: "Car No. 4!" Watch your 1 o'clock direction! There may be enemies there! ”

The commander of car No. 4 heard Karjus's shout and immediately looked a little in the direction to his right, where he saw a Soviet tank climbing over the ridge.

"Karjus! Karjus! There are Soviet tanks! There are Soviet tanks there! They're bypassing your flank and into Red Tekach! The commander of car No. 4 grabbed the intercom and shouted loudly.

"Boom!" After loading the ammunition, car No. 4 opened fire on the Soviet tanks on the ridge.

The shot hit a advancing T-34 tank and destroyed it there. The hit T-34 stopped where it was, and there was no movement.

But just behind this wrecked Soviet tank, more Soviet tanks did not stop and rushed towards Red Tekach.

"I can't stop them! At least 5 Soviet tanks went in your direction! Karjus! Seeing that he had no way to stop the advance of the Soviet troops, the commander of tank No. 4 shouted in horror.

The Soviet tanks were getting closer and closer to the Red Tekach, and if these tanks were allowed to attack the Red Tekach, the Germans could be wiped out in a matter of minutes.

"I see!" After hearing the shouts of tank No. 4, Karyus had already confirmed the current situation.

He was now in a very bad situation - car No. 5 had been destroyed, and on the other side of his position, a whole bunch of Soviet tanks were rushing over, trying to get into the village and attack his flank!

"What the hell!" He let go of the intercom and then commanded to his driver, Erich: "Erich! Reversing! Back to the village! The enemy is coming from behind! ”

Sensing his chariot move, he shouted to his artillery commander again, "Tyr! Turn the turret and get ready for armor-piercing shells! Clean up the bastards behind us first! Revenge for car number 5! ”
