827 mutual opponents

It is not uncommon to see a figure as majestic as a god. But to be able to have two such figures in one place at the same time can only be described as a miracle.

When Karjus's tank stopped in front of Weitmann's tank, like a, impregnable in front of Weitmann, Weitmann looked at the unfamiliar Leopard tank.

He smiled, the skin on his face blackened by the flames of war, but his teeth whiter.

A moment ago, he thought he was going to die here, and the most regrettable thing in his mind was that he had not yet had time to find a wife and form a happy family.

But now, not far in front of him, on the turret of a new Leopard tank, the hatch was lifted and a familiar face poked out.

Karjus saw Wittmann with an embarrassed face, and then laughed along, as if he had seen something funny.

A moment ago, he led his army into the torrent of Soviet tanks, and he was still thinking about which one was not afraid of death and dared to stay here to stop the Soviet army.

Now he understood that the person who could do such a thing was the person he had heard of, the tank commander who had made great achievements in England.

"This man deserves to be my opponent!" Wittman smiled happily, happy with his life, and finally found a purpose after experiencing brilliance and boredom.

"This is the opponent who competes with me!" Karyus smiled happily, he really hoped that he would have such a competitive friend on his way forward!

While the two men looked at each other and smiled, the changes on the battlefield were also enormous: the Soviet tank commanders finally realized that their disadvantages and confusion were irreversible.

The German 505 Tank Battalion that entered the tank array on the left flank of the Soviet Union, and the tanks of the 501 Tank Battalion that was fighting on the right flank of the Soviet army, were already invincible in the eyes of the Soviet tank commander.

A Soviet tank commander with a radio in his car finally grabbed his radio and shouted to everyone in the channel: "Retreat!" We're going to regroup! Fall back! ”

"Reverse! If we continue to consume it like this, we will all be buried here! "Inside another tank, the Soviet tank commander made the same decision.

The T-34 tank began to reverse, and the advancing torrent of steel, the already chaotic torrent of steel, finally slowly receded like a tidal wave.

The chaos on the left flank made the rout of these Soviet tanks even more complete. Many Soviet tank crews even abandoned their tanks and fled.

The battlefield was littered with exploding T-26s and T-34 tanks, as well as abandoned, faulty KV-1 tanks.

In a mess, the rain was even heavier - the Soviet army was in a rout, and the German tank troops were fighting back!

The scene was really weird: less than 70 German tanks were desperately counterattacking, and Soviet tanks, numbering even more than 200, were desperately retreating.

The Nameless Wilderness encounter was reversed, and two separate German battalions of heavy tank destroyers became an obstacle that the Soviet forward forces could not overcome.

"Comrade General's Pavilion! There has been a change on the battlefield! An officer walked into the headquarters and reported to Rokossovsky.

His depressed voice made everyone stop what they were doing and look at the officer who had come to report on the battle.

"The 2nd Guards Tank Division suffered heavy losses on the way to the offensive, and there is evidence that the enemy's two heavy tank battalions, 501 and 505, were in the direction of our 2nd Guards Tank Division's attack." The officer gave a brief account of the battle.

"Heavy damage?" Rokossovsky frowned, looked at the officer, repeated the word.

"I ...... We...... We lost 100 tanks and destroyed about 10 German tanks. The officer had no choice but to give a detailed account of the results and losses.

Hearing this loss, Rokossovsky felt a little dizzy: this attack he had carefully planned actually ran into the most elite of Gudery's armored troops.

If the key hits, hit it, he has thought about this problem before, who knows that the main force of the 2nd Tank Division, which he carefully prepared, will really not be able to defeat it......

That's the main force of hundreds of T-34 tanks and KV-1! I didn't dare to exert my strength before, just because I was afraid of Germany's air superiority.

As a result, now, when the Germans have lost air superiority due to the weather, they can still withstand the Soviet counterattack, so how can he, the commander, command?

"Tell the 2nd Division to immediately reorganize the counterattack! Within an hour! I want news that they broke through the enemy's lines. Rokossovsky was depressed for a moment, then cheered up and commanded loudly.

There was really no way for him not to cheer up, after all, if even he was discouraged as a commander, then the inferior soldiers would be even more discouraged.

"Let the troops of the 3rd Guards Tank Division move 5 km south! Break through there and give it a try! In the end, while he was cheering up, he also came up with a way to deal with the situation in front of him.

Put his reserves into battle in advance, and then switch to an opponent to break through the German defenses. Whichever unit succeeded, the unit that did not break through followed as a reserve to expand the gains.

Although this method is somewhat helpless, it is tantamount to admitting the German armored forces to retreat. But the situation is stronger than people, and Rokossovsky has little time to waste.

If he could not achieve a decisive victory until the clouds thinned, his troops would have suffered tenfold losses as soon as the Luftwaffe planes flew.

At that time, a large-scale build-up will not be possible, let alone withstanding the counterattack of the German armored forces!

Although Rokossovsky's counterattack was risky, that did not mean that he did not investigate the German forces opposite him.

Cluster G has a lot of tanks, this is something Rokossovsky knows, once the cluster G is relieved and more tanks are drawn from other directions, then the Soviets will have no chance.

"Five hours! In five hours, if we can't extend the gains, then we will retreat......" Rokossovsky said to his chief of staff: "This is an outcome that none of us wants to see." ”

"I know! What about the news of our victory awaits in the direction of Moscow...... If we fail, then Comrade Khrushchev's side will be completely passive. The chief of staff said with an ugly face.

The second is even more served!
