"Oh, the cake buyer!" Commander Varikov couldn't believe his eyes, he gave up on continuing to observe with the periscope, and instead of the danger, he opened the top cover, holding the telescope and carefully looking at the steel monster across the river.

In addition to the searchlight post, flares rose in the air, and in an even more intense spotlight, the various telescopes of the Russians were aimed at the tank.

They never believed their eyes. The flame that enveloped the Huaxia tank just now clearly proved that the first shell fired by the M-2 howitzer on the V-10 tank hit the toe of Lady Luck. The loud sound of metal crashing was enough to show the power of the metal shrapnel that exploded near the high explosives.

52 kg of high-explosive shells! But after the smoke cleared, he found that the steel monster with a metallic luster was safe and sound, lying there quietly as if it was about to tear the night and pounce on him.

Valikov carefully searched the inclined armor of the tank, and even from a distance of more than 700 meters, he still trusted what others called the eagle's eye, where there was indeed no trace of penetration, not even a crack visible to the naked eye.

"How is that possible?" There was a sound of inhalation coming from the communicator, and it was clear that he was not alone. But there was only exclamation and the silence that followed, and no one tried to attack again.

"It can't move, use armor-piercing bullets, kill it with armor-piercing bullets!" It wasn't until the roar of the provisional commander Leonikov was heard over the communicator that everyone relented. After all, the 152 howitzer is not mud, and even if the shrapnel of the high-explosive shell can't penetrate the armor of the steel monster, the shock of the explosion is enough to stun the people inside. All that's left is to break it down again.

The tanks, which lacked a radio station, also knew about the order from the command of the flag and the lights, but those tank guns under 76 mm were already excluded. Only the five -34 tanks in the front, having received the order, flattened their barrels and bombarded them.

In a roar, an armor-piercing shell from a 76mm tank gun of a -34/B tank hit the target first. But with the loud bang that followed, after the smoke cleared, except for two more shallow pits, the monster's xiōng armor was still unharmed.

"Comrade Varikov, what about your armor-piercing shells?" Leonikov's roar sounded again, and their armored battalion, having received an order to support Sukhbaatar, headed straight for here, and as they approached the border, they encountered this slow-moving V-2 tank, which was also temporarily requisitioned to this support mission.

I heard that the Chinese had already occupied Sukhbaatar, where the heavy attack of the 152-mm guns of the V-2 tank was needed, but who knew the target of the first Chinese who had encountered it, let the V-2's performance smash the pot.

"We didn't bring armor-piercing shells!" Valikov replied helplessly. The V-2 tank has always been enough to smash everything with a high-explosive shell from a 152 howitzer, and even Valikov used the armor-piercing shells in the tank's operation manual only once. The 1915/28 semi-armor-piercing projectile was generally only used in the Navy, with very little stock and rarely carried on V-2 tanks.

And Valikov's V-2 tank because of the problems of the V tank itself, even the standard 36 shells were not brought, and the armor-piercing shells were left in the warehouse of Ulan-Ude, which not every V-2 tank carried.

Leonikov heard this, and there was silence for a while. The bombardment just now had proved that they couldn't help the steel monster, and the 76mm armor-piercing bullet was already the most powerful weapon in his hands. He may have to wait until the large army from behind arrives, but it will surely appear that he is too incompetent as a vanguard.

A moment later, Leonikov's roar was heard again: "Rush up, rush up and blow it up!" ”

He didn't believe in evil, although he didn't know how thick the armor of the steel monster on the opposite side was, but when he got closer, the attack would be more powerful, and maybe there would be a chance. And after bombarding for such a long time, the Huaxia people on the other side did not react at all, and he also needed to send a tank to test it.

With his command, a -34 tank rushed out first. But there was a roar from across the river, and a blaze of light drowned out the -34 tank, which was slowly approaching the rebar-concrete bridge of the river. In the firelight, the turret of the -34 tank had already flown into the air in the detonation of ammunition.

There was apparently more than one roar on the other side of the river, and before Varikov's V-2 tank could move its bulky body, a loud bang also erupted on its body. A jet of metal swept through the tank like a raging wind. Before Valikov could be surprised by the high-pressure air flow blasting the gunner's head open, he lost consciousness forever.

"There are enemies!" Leonikov, who had participated in the armored battle against Japan in Manchuria, was the first to wake up and roared.

Behind the silent tank, four identical steel monsters slowly paced out of the night, the roar of the engines like the low roar of the Tiger King.

……

"I'm really glad I wasn't in that tank just now!" Mu Xinghua looked at his King Tiger Tank, which was still crawling in place, and said with palpitations. He had already seen the bombardment of the Russians just now. In particular, the ferocity of the bombardment of the 152-mm howitzer made him even more frightened, in that case, if he was still guarding his car, I am afraid that at this time he would be bleeding, his internal organs would be shocked, and he might die with a whimper.

When he saw the King Tiger tank at first glance, he thought it was the best tank in the world, but then the instructor's demonstration with live ammunition made him understand that even thick armor cannot block the transmission of destructive power.

The heavy tank that was bombarded on the opposite side, he also knew. At the beginning, the instructor used this kind of V-2 tank that had been decommissioned in the vanguard army to make a live-fire comparison. Although the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the V-2 short-barreled howitzer at that time did not directly penetrate the high-quality homogeneous steel armor with an inclination angle and carburized surface of the King Tiger at a long distance due to insufficient kinetic energy, this tank still posed a great threat to the King Tiger.

And he almost experienced the threat firsthand.

"Thanks to that little river, thanks to the captain's idea!" He couldn't help but rejoice again in his heart.

As soon as their squadron stepped off the plane, they were taken to a tank base to pick their mounts. When he saw more than a dozen King Tiger tanks in front of him, at that moment he felt that the air around him was going to be suffocated by the metallic luster on the surface of King Tiger.

Although the next order required a detour to the north of Sukhbaatar to block the Suméng border passage, such a danger was already overwhelmed by the excitement of riding the Tiger King. Unfortunately, the excitement did not last long, and while crossing a small river, his mount crushed the stone bridge above and sank into the thick mud of the river. When he was dragged up, he unexpectedly found that something was wrong. So his beloved mount was decided by the captain to be used as a target to attract the enemy, and placed it in front of the defensive position.

"Now it can be confirmed that there is no heavy artillery around! Keep attacking and destroy the stray fish on the other side! Chen Guanglie snorted coldly. He was also glad that there was no one inside to operate the tank gun just now.

Although they received orders to block the road, they did not know much about the information on the border between Suméng. Because they were worried that there were hidden heavy artillery and even other hidden heavy firepower on the border, threatening their two Tiger King squads. So he was ruthless and put the Tiger King, who had lost power, in the open to observe the enemy's reaction.

Regarding Mu Xinghua's strong request to sit inside and operate the gun, he only hesitated for a moment and categorically refused. His ears still remembered what the instructor had said: "The car is dead, but the man is alive." As long as people live, we have more hope. As long as you live, there will be more tanks waiting for you to gallop on the land again. ”

His refusal proved to be necessary. And his probing also detected that, similar to the analysis in the intelligence, the Russians were poorly prepared for the border of the Soviet Union, and there was no heavy artillery fire in the vicinity that would pose a threat to the bulky Tiger King.

For the sake of prudence, he waited until the Russians had no choice but to take the Tiger King placed there and were ready to fight bayonets at close range, and then he left a Tiger King as a reserve, and only led four Tiger Kings out of the hidden night, lù out of the fangs.

The rest is the moment when the Tiger King roars.

"Boom!" Another -34 tank was blown into parts, no tank in this era can withstand the 71 times the diameter of the 88 mm fangs of the King Tiger, it can penetrate the main armor of the Sherman tank at a distance of 2000 meters, at this time at a distance of more than 700 meters, the -34 tank is naturally not a problem, and those light tanks and transport trucks are even more vulnerable. If it weren't for the darkness of night, I'm afraid its precise aiming would have added more results.

At this time, a raging fire ignited by a tanker truck lit up most of the sky before dawn, giving the Tiger Kings more convenient shooting conditions and liberating the only Tiger King with infrared night vision devices. However, in order to maximize the effectiveness of those light tanks and transport trucks, the Tiger Kings also put up high-explosive grenades.

The Russians finally collapsed in the firelight. Their small-caliber armor-piercing shells were simply itchy knocking bombs, and after shouting that God and Marx were useless, they retreated magnificently under the cover of the night before dawn. RO！。
