Chapter 433: Still Moving Forward

The troops who were holding on to the gap suddenly received a 'strange' order, at this point in time when even defense was a problem, the rear actually ordered them to push back, at least to regain the part that was lost in the front, in fact, anyone who is familiar with the 47th Division can guess that this order is definitely led by Anselm, and only he can formulate such desperate tactics. But what they didn't know was that this time Anselm didn't finally reach his own tactics as usual, because the situation was special, and after a little negotiation, he passed this seemingly nonsense plan.

When he knew that he was going to carry out the counterattack mission, Vincent could only smile bitterly that it was still possible to let these 'wounded soldiers' hold their positions now, but when it came to counterattacking, I really don't know how difficult it was. First of all, many of the tanks, although they maintained their original firepower, their tracks were destroyed, and they could not go anywhere until they were repaired. Besides, it was a bit of a joke to let the infantry carry out a surprise attack on such a large plain, as long as there was a machine gun, you would not know how to bring down a dozen infantrymen, not to mention that the enemy army was a group with more than them.

However, the order must be executed, and it is clear above that the time of execution is now, so those faulty tanks will not be able to provide any help for this battle, and the remaining ones who are injured but can still move, even if they are strong, must participate in this battle. In Vincent's group, although all four tanks were damaged to varying degrees, only one IV. with broken tracks could be used as rear fire support, and the rest of the tanks had to go to the front. Despite this, it was not as dangerous as it was to go to the front, because although the Soviet army occupied the front line of the German army, because of the multi-faceted attack, heavy weapons were never delivered to the front line. Now there are only a large number of infantry and tanks piled up in this salient. No matter how well-equipped the German army is, in terms of the current number of German troops, even counting the defenders on the other two sides, attacking the Soviet army in this salient with a three-sided encirclement, it cannot be said that it will be eaten in one go. The numerical gap between the two sides is so big.

The thought of how much he was going to attack at so many enemies made Vincent's scalp tingle, and the head-to-head battle was not bad, but what if the two sides really started a scuffle? In this regard, even if he has so much combat experience, he has no clue. In the other tank, Leona was silently praying, not only for herself, but also for all the German soldiers who went on this expedition. But it's hard to say whether a person's prayer to God to accomplish something he can barely do will actually work.

"First echelon, charge!" At the sound of the order, dozens of tanks and hundreds of infantry rushed directly towards the huge Soviet army.

However, even if the Germans wanted to have fewer enemies, they were not arrogant to the extent of rampant, and the position they were given for the first time was actually not far from the position from which they started, and this charge caught the Soviet army by surprise, so the Soviet army was repelled a distance backward without any damage. The infantry following the tanks immediately set up a defensive line in the area. Although the first German move was successful, the Soviets, who reacted, immediately launched a counter-charge. It was a very strong counterattack against the Germans.

The Germans, who had just succeeded, suffered almost twice the impact of their own forces before they could gain a foothold, but the Germans barely withstood this wave of offensive with the support of friendly artillery from their rear positions. But this is not a very happy thing, even if there is fire support from the rear now, but when they advance farther and farther. Fire support in the rear would be almost non-existent, and the Soviets would be even more numerous than they are now, a chilling sight to think about would make any man of iron shivers.

However, it is more gratifying that when the first echelon charged up, all the remaining tanks immediately seized this time to carry out emergency repairs. In addition to the problems that cannot be solved on the spot, such as the engine, many problems can be repaired on the spot, and the rest of the infantry have also joined the repair queue, so that the hard work of repairing the track can be completed at a very fast speed. As long as these tanks are repaired, the front line will have a large number of troops to expand their attack lineup, and although it is still not as large as the German army, the situation should be much better.

But it is not permissible to just stop on this makeshift line that has just been fought and wait for the troops in the rear to be repaired, they must hurry up and continue to advance, according to the plan, they will have to advance at least three times before the repair of the troops in the rear is completed, so that they can complete their goal within the expected time.

Although it has not been penetrated yet, Vincent is already miserable, now not only BT-7A tanks that use howitzers are shooting HE at them, but even some small-caliber tanks are also firing HE at them, although it cannot cause any substantial damage to the tank like AP, but every explosion is wearing out the various parts on the tank, and no one can guarantee which part will have problems at a critical moment. And for tank parts, the tank members were more injured, and the shock waves of the continuous explosion came in from outside the hull, and the slightly smaller ones could completely grab the handrails on the side to solve it, but those who exploded in the near distance, but they could really repel people through the steel plate, and if they happened to touch a critical part, the result was still more serious. Even if they didn't, they were all like the gunners next to Vincent, their bodies were bruised and purple, and even then, they still had to continue the fight with the pain in the ninja's body, at least until their steel partner fell, there was no reason for them to stop.

Under the orders of the commander, the Germans began a new round of attack, even in the danger of bullets, they still had to advance, even in the predicament of being outnumbered, even if they were in the pain of being covered in bruises, they still had to advance......

Until victory! (To be continued.) )
