565 offensive armored battalion

If you have seen the vast plains of Russia, then you will not doubt that this is definitely a paradise for any armored army.

Historically, Germany's blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's later counterattack to Germany, all collided with armored forces here to create the most dazzling spark of war in human history.

Now, in this parallel time and space, Germany has once again set foot on this land that they are not familiar with, and they still have a victory worthy of boasting.

Opel Lightning next to each other is parked on the road, and a simple forward supply base is already under construction.

At the other end of the remote farm, the vanguard of the German armored forces, the Leopard tanks of the 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, stopped there and waited for news of the attack.

Across the German advance was an elite Soviet armored force, with about 20,000 Soviet infantry.

These troops, from Minsk, were the last armored forces that the Soviets were able to assemble nearby.

The purpose of the other side was very clear, to prevent the German army from continuing to advance, cover the surrounding about 400,000 Soviet routs, and gather near Minsk.

"The order to attack has come down, we are going to attack the enemy line on the left flank, cut in from the flank and destroy the enemy's artillery positions." Throwing the map in his hand on the front engine compartment of the barrel car, the battalion commander spoke.

"Soldiers from a regiment of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division will follow us, and they will be responsible for covering our flanks and preventing the enemy from encircling us." The battalion commander said as he pointed to the German Panzergrenadiers who were starting the engines of armored vehicles in the distance.

On that day, Karjus still didn't wait a day in place. Two hours later, a maintenance team arrived to help Karyus fix his tank's tracks.

Then Karyus caught up with his troops and returned to a state of forward assault.

In just a few days, they went around Tobinka to Kobrin, and then to Belyozha.

They then caught up with Khrushchev's troops, who were retreating north, near Ivatsevich and routed the rearguard of this force.

They were chasing Khrushchev all the way north, rushing to the outskirts of Baranovichi. They advanced very fast, even faster than most of the routed Soviet troops.

The attacking 505th Panzer Battalion and Gudery's armored corps did not know that two-thirds of the Soviet troops routed by them were already behind them at this moment.

"The enemy may have more than ten tanks, so we have to find a way to take out these troops and force them to retreat." On a blank piece of paper, the battalion commander casually drew a sketch.

Everything before the attack must be carefully arranged, and each tank has a corresponding task to ensure the success and effectiveness of their attack.

Any slight negligence may cause a chain reaction, causing many people who would not have had to die on the battlefield.

"The bees will fire first, and then we will attack...... Stuka is right above our heads, if they find a target, they will attack, and if they don't find a target, we will find a way to make them find it! After pointing to the sky, the battalion commander ended his tactical arrangements.

Then he waved his hand at the Soviet positions in front and issued the order to attack: "The attack begins!" ”

Karyus, who was not thick, nodded, and then walked to the No. 111 tank parked in the distance, with his bag in his hand.

The number 1 on the turret of the tank hit by the KV-1 tank is still the same, and the black marks on it still look so hideous.

"Be careful when attacking, we are following behind the 2nd Company and responsible for attacking the enemy's tanks!" Buckling up his headphones, Karjus shouted a command: "Start the tank!" Let's go! ”

"2 in a row! We're after you! Inside the headset, the voice of the commander of the 1st Company came.

"Communication is kept up well! We hear you very well! The commander of the 2nd company opened his mouth and responded to the commander of the 1st company, whose tank had already begun to move forward.

The wide tracks of the Leopard tank began to roll forward, and the slender barrel was pointed in the direction where the enemy was. A battle is about to begin, and everyone is nervous.

The battle was the first to start in the wheat fields, and the shells fired by the German wild bee howitzers fell in these wheat fields, blowing up craters one after another.

Over the past few days, the Soviets have lost a lot of artillery. So now they are even inferior to the Germans in the contest of artillery.

It is a pity that the German Wild Bee self-propelled guns are actually a small number of treasures, so the Germans also took the initiative to stop the attack after two rounds of shelling.

In the sky, the Stuka bombers formed an attack formation and crossed the starting positions of the German troops, whose tanks were draped with striking flags and some infantry beckoned to the Grim Reaper in the sky.

"The enemy is firing! Be careful! Seeing the enemy's tracer rounds, Karyus opened his mouth to warn his allies.

The view inside the tank was very narrow, and he could only see what was happening around him through a tiny periscope.

If you happen to look to the left, even if a shell flies on the right, the people inside the tank won't notice.

So, in the eyes of the infantry, the tank is very scary, and sometimes very clumsy.

This is also the reason why the tank must be followed by the infantry, and the importance of infantry and tank coordination, even in today's mechanization level, is also the focus of tactical research in various countries.

"Right ahead! Machine gun bunkers! Machine gun bunkers! In the communication channel in the car, the electromechanical officer in charge of the heading machine gun shouted loudly.

He confirmed the target, then pulled the bolt and left the MG vehicle-mounted machine gun in front of him ready to fire.

He then aimed at the Soviet machine-gun position that was firing, and then pulled the trigger on his finger.

Tracer bullets flew out of the muzzle, leaving a dazzling trail in the path of the tank.

The bullet hit the machine-gun position on that side, and at the edge of the opponent's trench, a white light smoke was shot.

Joseph, the mechanic, kept shooting until the opponent was completely powerless to fight back, and then stopped to change his drum.

All German vehicle-mounted machine guns were fed by drums. This is mainly done for convenience, because it is very difficult to change the chain in a small and bumpy body.

This has something to do with the way the machine gun is loaded, as it is only easy to hold down the bullet when the loader helps to hold the chain.

Without the assistance of the co-shooter, it would be very troublesome to replace the chain. Unfortunately, the mechanics have to control the machine gun themselves, so it is more suitable to use the drum.

The defense of the Soviet army is not solid, these Soviet soldiers are the main force, not the kind of ragtag that the front line is improvised and collapses at the first rush.

After discovering the German attack, many Soviet tanks rushed out of the woods and began to attack the German tanks.

Suddenly, a shell pierced the air, grazed the side of a Leopard tank, and flew farther away.

A KV-1 tank slowly smashed into a small dry tree, revealing its hideous face in front of the German tank troops.

Soon, a second KV-1 tank also rushed out, followed by an even more formidable T-35 tank.

"I'm really not afraid of death!" Seeing the Soviet tank show its face, Karyus smiled and pressed the shoulder of his gun commander Tyr: "Aim for one, and then fire!" ”

"Parking! Stop the car! "The German tanks, seeing their opponents, began to stop and prepare to fire.

In World War II, there was no artillery stabilization system today, so it was impossible to achieve such a high-level technical and tactical action as firing on the move.

If you want to hit your opponent accurately, you can only clumsily stop your tank, and then rely on accurate sights to lock on to the opponent's tank and attack.

Therefore, when the German tanks stopped one after another, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became solemn.

"Boom!" Karjus's No. 111 tank suddenly opened fire, and then the German tanks next to him spewed out a cloud of white smoke from the muzzle.

The power of the 88 mm caliber cannon has been tested on the battlefield, and it is indeed a very effective anti-tank weapon.

The Germans stopped and opened fire, firing dozens of shells in an instant. The shells rushed into the dense forest that the Soviet tanks had driven out at once.

"Phew! Rumble! "Soon, the German shells hit their targets, and at a normal engagement distance of about 800 meters, the hit rate of German tank shooters was very high.

Because the German sights were very accurate, and most of the gun commanders were well-trained. After one round of fire, the Soviet tanks lost a lot.

Seeing a KV-1 tank hit by a German shell, it caught fire and burned at the edge of the forest.

Its barrel hung limply on the side of the tank, and the explosion even opened the hatch of the tank.

Some Soviet tanks, which had no one to aim, or had narrowly avoided the attack, also stopped firing at this time, and the shells whizzed towards the German tanks.

Unfortunately, at a distance of about 800 meters, these shells could not destroy the thick armor on the front of the German tank.

After attacking for a while, the Soviet tanks had to continue their advance, hoping to shorten the distance between the two sides so that they could destroy the German tanks.

The Soviets found that their tanks were ineffective at normal engagement distances, and the infantry retreated in the direction of the woodland.

After all, if there is no cover from tanks, these improvised lines they have built will not be able to withstand the destruction of the opponent's tanks.

"The enemy is retreating, should we speed up the attack?" The company commander of the 1st company asked the battalion commander of the 505th battalion on the radio.
