"The Germans are bombing this area! Comrade General! We're probably going to lose tens of thousands of people here...... When the time comes, we won't be able to hold on to Red Tekach! "I don't know which commander it was, complaining on the radio.

"Lose Red Tekach, and we have nothing to guard!" Rokossovsky replied with a wry smile, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "Keep attacking!" Take down the Red Tekachi! ”

The commander was determined to fight hard, and there was little way for his men to back down. Before the smoke of gunfire had completely cleared, the Soviet soldiers began a new round of charge.

It's not so much a new charge, but because the charge is so dense that it's hard to tell whether it's two different charges.

The Soviets attacked entirely when the first charging soldiers had not yet been lost, and a new group of soldiers were put into the attack.

The battle was fought to this point, and it was not something that the Soviet troops could retreat if they wanted to. Once caught up by the Germans during the retreat, the consequences are much more tragic than being eaten on the spot.

It is possible that Rokossovsky's group retreated, and the Germans chased the tail to Kurovskoye or Shatura.

This is tantamount to abandoning the Moscow road to Nizhny Novgorod all at once – and seriously threatening the last one......

Therefore, Rokossovsky knew that even if all these Soviet troops died here, the German army would have to be dragged for this generation, and the German army could not be chased and killed.

That was the state of attack that the Germans were best at, and once the Germans were in pursuit mode, the Soviets no longer had a chance to organize an effective defense.

Because the distance between the two towns of Kurovskoye and Elektrostali was only a pitiful less than 20 kilometers, for the Germans it was only a day's assault distance.

Let the German armored forces run out of their own rhythm, and perhaps it will only take one morning for the Germans to completely encircle Moscow.

"Give me an attack! Let the follow-up troops deploy defensive positions on Route 2! If we fail, they will have only one task, to stop the Germans there! "Rokossovsky gave an order to take it easy.

After that, he shouted to the fighters on his tank: "Keep going!" We're going to be the first to charge and attack Red Tekach! ”

The tank he was in was a modified T-34 tank with a radio station in it, so it could command the battle.

And around his tanks were the most elite tank crews that the Soviets had assembled this time. These crews are armed with T-34 tanks and are very combat-ready.

These tanks were in the middle of the offensive echelon of the entire tank force, because there were too many tanks lost, and now they are in a position very high.

In the process of advancing, Rokossovsky looked through the commander's periscope and saw the burning and scrapped Soviet tanks passing by. The wreckage was so blackened by the fire that it was hard to see what it was.

……

Soviet tanks were advancing, but German tanks were not retreating. Karjus held his position, and the Leopard tanks, having escaped Soviet shelling, did not take a step back.

Karjus remembers when he rescued Wittmann and saw Wittmann's nearly destroyed Leopard tank lying in the middle of a Soviet tank.

He was very envious of Wittmann at that time, as if he were a general who was stabbed in the crowd of enemy troops.

Although he knew that it was dangerous, he still longed, longed for himself to have such a chance to stand on the battlefield like the god of war.

Now, he's waiting for that opportunity. His Leopard tank was right in front of the attacking Soviet tank force, almost single-handedly, blocking the opponent's advance!

"William! Armor-piercing shells! Load! Caljuus commanded loudly from inside the intercom.

"Armor-piercing shell loading!" William pulled an armor-piercing shell from the ammunition rack containing the shells and stuffed it into the chamber of the Leopard tank.

After closing the bolt, he repeated the command aloud, and Commander Tyr fired the cannonball.

There was hardly any hesitation, for the situation was too late for him to hesitate. Soviet tanks had reached a distance of less than 600 meters, which was already very dangerous.

Both the T-34 and the KV-1 are armed with 76.2 mm caliber tank guns. At a certain distance, this gun is capable of penetrating certain parts of the Leopard tank.

For example, if the opponent is lucky, he can break the tracks of the Leopard tank, or use the "bomb zone" between the turret and the hull to ricochet and shoot a ricocheting bullet to penetrate the top armor plate of the Leopard tank.

So, Captain Tyre fired as quickly as he could, killing the Soviet tanks that were crowded in a heap.

There were too many Soviet tanks on the opposite side, most of them were almost no threat, but extremely fast T-26 tanks.

Just shoot a shell and you can hit a Soviet tank. This time it was the T-26 that was hit, and the entire turret was knocked out.

There was no need to aim at all, and William, under the command of Karjus, drew another armor-piercing shell, stuffed it into the chamber of the cannon, and closed the bolt.

With little adjustment, Tyr was able to find the next target to attack, and he waited calmly, waiting for the moment to press the firing device.

"Boom!" The gun did not hit the target, and the -34 tank was always moving fast, so the German tank crew, although it had a high hit rate, could not guarantee that every shell would hit the T-34 tank.

"Damn it!" Tyr's palms were already sweating, and the fact that the shell missed the target made him a little nervous.

The Leopard tank has 52 shells, in general it is equipped with 10 grenades, 2 flares, 40 armor-piercing shells of various types.

Because there was no time to replenish the combat consumption along the way, in fact, there were only 31 armor-piercing shells of various types in Karjus's tank.

By this time, he had already fired 17 shells and achieved an astonishing result of destroying 8 enemy tanks.

In the days when there were no fire control computers, it was already a terrible hit rate to destroy an enemy tank with two shells.

The average crew member does not have such a high accuracy of hitting, and it is more common for three or even five shells to destroy an enemy tank.

If placed in a low-quality Soviet tank unit, 10 shells may not be able to destroy a German tank. This is also related to the fact that the Soviets used to fire on the move - World War II tanks could only have a high accuracy of hitting after stopping and aiming.
