"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

After seeing the power of the explosion traps set up by the Germans, the Soviets began to cover the positions that might be covered with mines and explosive traps from a long distance, trying to detonate them with shells before making the next charge.

"Damn! Play this set with Lao Tzu! Seeing that the enemy was only firing from a distance, and did not try to continue the attack on them, Natel could not help but feel angry in his heart and cursed viciously.

But Trode, who was beside him, showed a sneer and said, "What a bunch of brainless people." Then he immediately picked up the microphone and shouted inside: "Except for Amphitri and Heard's crews, all units are ready to carry out a counter-assault, targeting the long-range fire above the opposite position!" ”

Natel couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, although he was angry, but he didn't expect Trode to be so eager to retaliate, and it was to the point of launching a counterattack during a defensive war. But another person who heard the news was happy to laugh, and that was Yorkson, who was still using a machine gun. The opportunity to use counter-assault in such a suppressed defensive battle is simply rare, and when he was starting to get tired of MG-34, he didn't expect Trood to immediately give this order, and now he has another chance to show his skills.

Of course, Trode's hand in giving this order was not as simple as Natl thought, although it seemed that he gave the order without any hesitation, but it was indeed the result of his careful deliberation - the enemy was now removing his own defensive weapons, and if he did not stop it in time, the following enemy forces would be able to approach their positions more easily. However, the counteroffensive at this time was not easy, first of all, Trod had to avoid the minefields where the mines were planted, although there were no anti-tank mines. But there was no point in crushing those anti-infantry mines, for which they had to go around and attack. At this time, the gap between the forces of the enemy and us is also a big problem, and it is not easy to succeed in the counteroffensive.

But it can only be said that the Soviet army is still too anxious, because of the range, the Soviet artillery must be pushed to the front of the position in order to cover the German minefield, and this naturally cannot be quickly hidden. Together with Trood, they had just thwarted a Soviet attack. At least for now, it seems that there are no tanks that can stop the Trod and them, and as for the difference in numbers on the infantry side, it is not at all a factor that should be considered in this purely tank-based counter-assault operation.

Although Team 217 is used to gossiping in normal times, at this critical moment, it is still completely in a state of Trode's words. After the order was given, there was no opposition, and all the IV tanks were immediately ready for a counter-assault, and they had to grasp the gap in the weakness of the enemy's armored forces in order to complete this risky plan, otherwise the enemy tanks would be pressed down in large numbers. Even if they had the quality advantage of tanks, they would not be able to reverse the overwhelming superiority of the Soviet army due to their huge numbers.

In order to achieve these goals efficiently and quickly, Trod ordered all units not to slow down and fire, but to fire together when the whole team was close, and strive to completely eliminate these long-range guns with less than two rounds of concentrated fire, and then retreat together in formation to ensure the safety of the team.

"Woo!"

The engine clanged violently. The IV men reversed out of their tank pits and headed for the unmined areas on either side of the position. Although they rushed like this. The area would have been exposed, but Trood was in no hurry about it. Because the area was carefully selected in advance, the terrain was very flat, and the tank could sprint at a very fast speed. At the same time, there was nothing on it that the infantry could use as cover. And this blank space is so narrow that it can't even allow two tanks to run side by side. So there is no need to worry about the enemy using tanks as cover to charge from here. However, if they use a long snake formation to break through from here, the Germans will certainly have a way to deal with it, and the 88 gun alone can tell them what it means to be indestructible.

However, compared to the well-prepared German army, the Soviet army was taken aback by the counter-assault of Trode. The worst-case scenario they had expected was that the Germans would counter-suppress them with the same firepower, but now they were facing six heavily armed IV. tanks, although the IV was not as deterrent as the 'Tiger' like a steel wall, but any soldier who had fought with it knew that when the IV launched a group charge, it was no worse than one or two 'Tiger', and it was very trusted by the Germans. The speed of the military horse is also fully capable of retreating after the battle.

Due to the offensive battle launched by the enemy this time, there were not many weapons such as anti-tank guns in the early stage of such a battle, and the first batch of tanks had just been lost, so there were very few weapons that could pose a threat to Trood. As soon as the six tanks passed through the minefield on both sides of the position, they immediately spread out to form a side-by-side formation and pushed towards the enemy position.

Seeing the menacing German army, these Soviet artillerymen had no reason not to run, it was completely impossible to take back the artillery before the Germans came, the only thing they could do was to immediately hide in the trenches before these tanks were crushed in front of their eyes, and away from the trenches here, the farther away the better.

Due to the scattered flight of the Soviet artillery, the only weapon that could inflict damage on the Trodes was now unmanned. Seeing this scene, Trode smiled, although this was an extremely favorable situation for his side, but in order to defend against unexpected situations, he still decided to follow the original plan: "The whole team is ready to slow down, and we will attack at a distance of 1,000 meters from the enemy." ”

Under Trode's orders, the six tanks slowly stopped, and when the hulls were fully stabilized, they steadily fired at the 'targets', and as originally planned, Team 217 eliminated the targets within two rounds of concentrated fire, and then returned to position with a swagger.

Although the damage to the enemy was not great this time, the counter-assault successfully held the explosive traps and mines on its side, and dealt a blow to the high-morale Soviet troops! (To be continued.) )
