Chapter 133 Damn you, White Horse (Additional update from the leader)
The coverage of the 152 heavy artillery continued, and Wang Zhong also saw the fireball caused by the more powerful 203 heavy artillery.

Wang Zhong could see that the enemy's infantry was decreasing rapidly, and the highlighted villains were wiped out all at once.

In the game, if a cannonball is fired, the artillery brothers will have to add one star of experience, and after the battle, they will become full-star artillerymen.

Unfortunately, reality does not have this mechanism.

Although the infantry attack was stopped by the artillery, enemy tanks continued to move around.

Then now the problem arises. The remaining three tanks are right between the main armored battalion and the enemy!

Wang Zhong: "Fire! Cover them! And you guys, retreat quickly!"

In his desperation, he forgot that the reason why those three vehicles were bombed by 500kg was because they had no radios.

No. 422 took the lead in firing. Alexander was good. The shell passed between the large sides of three our tanks and hit the moving No. tank.

Other tanks also fired sparsely, but the hit rate was worrying. After all, there was no target to provide distance reference, and they could only rely on the experience of each crew.

The enemy also opened fire, but the target was the three tanks that were retreating frantically.

After the first round of shooting, Wang Zhong saw two friendly tanks, 438 and 440, stopped moving, probably because their tracks were broken.

However, because Wang Zhong had previously organized a veteran experience sharing meeting, the newcomers in these two cars did not abandon the car directly, but opened fire and resisted.

Tank No. 431 continued to retreat, and at this time its commander seemed to have finally discovered where the friendly forces were, so he ordered the driver to turn the vehicle around.

But I don’t know whether it was the driver who was nervous and turned in the wrong direction, or the commander who was dizzy and gave the wrong order. Anyway, the car actually turned the front of the car towards the friendly forces, exposing its butt to the enemy.

How could Prosen's tank elite miss this opportunity? Wang Zhong just watched as three or four shells hit the butt of No. 431.

The engine of No. 431 stalled immediately, and Wang Zhong could clearly see the thick smoke coming out of the radiator from such a distance!
The tank crew of No. 431 hurriedly ran out of the vehicle - after all, the engine was gone, and soon the turret could not rotate and could only be cranked by hand. No one would blame them for abandoning the vehicle at this time.

The Prossens' machine guns began firing, blocking the tankers' retreat, forcing them to hide behind their tanks.

The 438 and 440 vehicles were still resisting, but the second round of attacks by the Prossens arrived, all targeting the turret ring.

At this time, the attacking enemy armored group actually suffered heavy losses. Wang Zhong had 21 tanks. After several rounds of shooting, he knocked out more than a dozen enemy tanks.

But the problem is that there are still dozens of enemies!
At this time, Wang Zhong saw another No. 430 tank coming to life in the tree line.

Good guy, this guy was knocked unconscious by the enemy's 500KG, and then hammered several times by his own 152 and 203, and now he's alive!
The key is that it can still be opened! He just fell out of the tank bunker, turned around and rushed outside.

Yes, Panzer No. 430 rushed along the hedge against the flank of the enemy's armored group.

He burst out of the hedge without any of his enemies seeing him!

No. 430 just rushed to the enemy's flank!

This movement looks so friendly to Wang Zhong. This is simply the movement he used when driving the M18 Hellcat in War Thunder!

Rush to the side and send powerful 76mm explosive shells to the German sticks one by one.

However, the blindness of the T34 was once again completely exposed: Vehicle No. 430 did not even see the Prosen armored group covering in the distance.

As soon as it stopped, three Panzer III tanks opened fire in the distance.

However, in their haste, the Prossens failed to hit the target accurately, and the armor-piercing bullet bounced off the ground and grazed the front armor of the No. 430 car.

Vehicle No. 430 opened fire and hit a Panzer IV. It seemed that the gunner specifically chose the Panzer IV tanks, which were scarcer in number and more valuable, to attack.

At this time, more enemies in the distance opened fire. Tank No. 430 was hit continuously, but still fired its second shot.

Flames erupted from the hatch of a Panzer III tank.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhong couldn't sit still.

At least push your own tank to the side of three tanks that have lost their combat effectiveness. This will firstly eliminate the obstruction of the rays by friendly forces, and secondly, shorten the distance so that your rookie tank crew can shoot more accurately and waste less shells.

Wang Zhong: "Attention everyone, move forward with me! Belyakov, move forward!"

Tank No. 422 spewed out a large plume of black smoke from its exhaust outlet, roaring forward as the red flag on the radio antenna fluttered in the wind.

Wang Zhong's car rushed out of the tree line and galloped across the wilderness!

Other tanks followed closely and rushed towards the friendly forces trapped on the grassland!

----

Stauhofens, commander of the 34nd Armored Battalion, still had his upper body exposed outside the turret, so he immediately saw the T tank that broke out of the tree line.

"The lynx calls for the wolf, the lynx calls for the wolf! It was visually confirmed that the enemy commander's vehicle is a specially designed T34 tank with a larger turret than other T34s.

"There's a red flag on the radio antenna, repeat, there's a red flag! Tactical number 422, repeat, tactical number 422, and it has a white horse, it has a white horse!"

After reporting, Stauhofens immediately switched the battalion command frequency: "Aim at the enemy tank with the red flag and tactical number 422!"

His vehicle responded to the order first and turned its gun to aim at the T34.

At this time, the order from the division headquarters came over the radio: "Remember the tactics arranged by the division commander!"

Stauhofens: "But the enemy only has one battalion, I think we should be able to deal with it!"

"How much was the loss?"

Stauhofens fell silent.

Acting Division Commander: "Execute the planned plan!"

"Yes. Every car, you all heard it, carry out the planned plan!"

The 2nd Armored Battalion began releasing smoke and turned, retreating backwards.

At this time, most of the Prosen tanks discovered the No. 430 car on the flank.

After a round of concentrated fire, Tank No. 430 was paralyzed on the grassland.

————As soon as the No. 422 vehicle rushed through three friendly tanks paralyzed on the plain, Wang Zhong ordered: "Stop! Stop!"

After the bump of the tank braking passed, Wang Zhong raised his telescope - this was just for show, in fact, the smoke released by the enemy had blocked the front view.

Wang Zhong relied on the plug-in overlooking the enemy to see that the enemy was retreating.

Not only were the tank troops retreating, but the infantrymen who had been blown to pieces in the ambush position nearby were also retreating.

What do you mean?
Wang Zhong now thought of the classic scenes in the classic sketches of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao:

"But I haven't fired yet!"

"Oh, doesn't this show that your marksmanship is accurate?"

Wang Zhong thought to himself, I just rushed out and prepared to set up a position to snipe at you. Are you guys gone?
You fell down before I even exerted any force?
At this time, other tanks also rushed to the line of No. 422. Most of them stopped, but a few careless ones rushed over.

You can't blame them. It's easy for the commander to look ahead when he's also the gunner.

Wang Zhong also heard a platoon leader blowing a whistle - this was the command method originally envisioned by the Ant Army Armored Corps Headquarters, but it was of no use.

In fact, after the previous battle with Loktov, Wang Zhong had already discovered that whistles and semaphores were useless, so he arranged for someone to lift the cover of the tank and use the most direct method to notify.

Listening to the whistle, Wang Zhong pressed the microphone on his throat: "Okay, stop blowing, hit them in the back of the head with an anti-aircraft machine gun, so that they know it's time to stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the platoon leader's car that had just blown the whistle opened fire, and the tracer bullet from the anti-aircraft machine gun hit the back of the head of the crew who continued to rush forward.

Finally, all the tanks stopped.

Wang Zhong looked at the enemy's movements through the smoke.

——Wait a minute, did you see the same thing in Loktov? So, another 88 gun position was arranged later?
Wang Zhong took out the map. Like Loktov, he also carefully inspected the entire battlefield. However, the land north of Orachi was too flat and he could not find a place particularly suitable for setting up anti-tank guns.

In other words, Wang Zhong owns the most suitable place for defense in this area.

It's broken, now I can't steal the enemy's cannon.

When I collided with the 88 gun in the wilderness, I was not so eager to seek death.

At this time, the 31st Battalion of the 1st Guards Regiment re-entered the position they had just abandoned.

Wang Zhong began to think about his next defense.

If the enemy continues to retreat like this, it will probably take a certain amount of time to organize another offensive.

The organization of an armored attack is much more complicated than that of an infantry attack, and the enemy has suffered a lot of losses. Even the tanks that have withdrawn have been reduced in number, so the crew organization should need to be adjusted.

Wang Zhong continued to check the map - where will the enemies regroup?

The grouping place should be very close to the road to facilitate supply. It should also be very close to the medical center, because there may be some people with minor injuries who need simple bandaging.

The hospital must be around the well——

Following the elimination method, Wang Zhong quickly identified three places where the enemy might be regrouping.

In fact, he had paid special attention to these places when he was exploring the terrain before, and gave each place a code name.

Play a round of cannon at each place to get a prize. If you are lucky enough to touch it, the enemy will not be able to attack today.

----

"The enemy didn't take the bait!" Klose picked up the document that wrote General White Horse's past battle history. "In Loktov, he didn't take the bait either, and immediately covered the place that might be an anti-tank position with artillery fire. Tsk, Let the anti-aircraft artillery battalion move!”

The communications staff officer saluted and left.

Kruse turned to Stauhofens: "What are our losses?"

"The losses were heavy. My battalion lost thirty tanks."

“How many can be repaired?”

Stauhofens was speechless: "Your Excellency, Acting Division Commander, if we did not occupy the battlefield, there would be no way to repair the tanks abandoned on the battlefield. The enemy now controls the front line."

"Okay. It seems we can only wait until tonight and let the infantry try to seize the position with night fighting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of cannonballs piercing the sky was heard.

Cruze: "Are you here? Is it an anti-aircraft gun?"

He strode to the door of the armored command vehicle, opened it and looked outside.

The artillery battalion, however, was intact and was being moved.

The explosion came from far away.

Cruze looked into the distance: "What are you bombing?"

Another staff officer frowned: "Look in the direction of the field hospital... these inferior people!"

Cruze shook his head: "No, this is blowing up our logistics nodes and assembly points! Evacuate people quickly!"

At this time, there was another roar coming from overhead, and even Kruse, who didn't have much experience on the front line, could tell that the landing point was very close.

He immediately swooped down!
But the shell did not fall on the front of the command vehicle, but hit the threshing floor not far away.

The retreating 2nd Armored Battalion did not regroup on the threshing floor, but a dining car was parked there and was distributing food and terrible coffee.

Cruze raised his head and saw the cauldron of coffee flying into the sky.

Cruze, like many General Prossen who met General White Horse before, cursed angrily: "Damn you, White Horse!"
