Chapter 719 Lieutenant Carl's Raid (8.5K)

While they were chatting, Nellie suddenly appeared and whispered to Wang Zhong, "The welcoming banquet for the pilots is ready."

Wang Zhong nodded and said to the two officers flying the air raid: "Lunch is ready. Please take your seats, pilots and crew members!"

Colonel Daniel said something in Angsa, and Emilia immediately translated: "Colonel Daniel said that they thought the sausages and milk provided by the airport were lunch."

Wang Zhong laughed: "How is that possible! Those sausages and milk are just for the hungry crew members to deal with. This is definitely not the way to hold a formal welcoming banquet."

While Emilia was translating, Lieutenant Colonel Jack said, "The sausage tasted amazing. It's the highest quality sausage in the United States, so we thought that was our lunch."

Wang Zhong: "The doctor's sausage is indeed made with solid ingredients. If you like it, when we resupply later, in addition to bombs and fuel, we will give each plane a kilogram of sausage to eat on the road! Now please allow me to treat you with real Seris food - of course, and our Ant's most proud pickled cucumbers!"

----

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zhong was standing on the terrace of the headquarters, watching the fleet of planes forming a formation in the air.

He remembered that the leap bombardment on Earth stopped quickly, but the leap bombardment in this time and space seemed to continue.

Pavlov also came to the terrace and said to Wang Zhong: "The Air Force reported that in order to cover the bomber group, they raided all of Prosen's airports on the eastern front and sent a group of Pe-8 aircraft to bomb the Prosen people's aviation fuel depot."

Wang Zhong: "They are doing a good job. If they continue like this, the Prosen people will soon have no air force available."

Pavlov: "Also, the fire caused by the mysterious weapon that suddenly fell in the city today has been extinguished. I have formed an investigation team and are searching the scene thoroughly. The remains of the weapon should be found soon."

"Ah."

As Wang Zhong was answering, the circling fleet seemed to have completed its formation, turned around and flew west, out of his sight. So he switched to a bird's-eye view and watched the fleet fly away.

As the fleet continued to climb, contrails appeared.

Wang Zhong then switched back to his physical perspective and looked at Pavlov: "We have clearly launched an attack, but it is more tame than the previous times."

"That's right. Just looking at the casualties and the enemy kills reported by each unit, I feel exhausted. Both sides are tired.

"I originally thought that perhaps the winter offensive would achieve an unexpected breakthrough and liberate all of Western Kosaria before Christmas next year. It seems that I was naive and underestimated our opponents."

Wang Zhong: "As we advance westward, the enemy's troop density on the front will increase, the battlefield will become more urbanized, the cavalry will gradually lose its effectiveness, and General Gorky's offensive method of attacking all along the front and seizing flaws will also lose its effect.

"What awaits us is city mince like Abawahan."

Wang Zhong swallowed the words “there may be heavy casualties”.

Pavlov: "Do you think the Prosen people will break up into small groups and fight to the death like we did?"

Wang Zhong thought for a moment and answered, “I don’t know if it will happen, but Emperor Proson certainly wants his soldiers and civilians to do the same.”

Pavlov: "What if they really put up a resistance as bravely as we do?"

Wang Zhong: "That's why we are stockpiling white phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs in large quantities."

Originally, Wang Zhong planned to develop a fuel-air explosive bomb and even instructed the establishment of a special team of chemical engineers. Then he realized that fuel-air explosive bombs were quite troublesome and that even if they were developed, they could not be miniaturized with the technological level of World War II.

Then the engineering team came up with a very Russian solution: use bombers to put volatile liquids in large glass bottles and drop them into the target area to break them, and then use Katyusha rockets to cover the diffusion area and detonate them.

They also conducted special tests, and the results showed that under strong sunlight, the rocket coverage did produce the fuel-air bomb effect that Wang Zhong required. However, the disadvantages were also obvious: it was completely uncontrollable and required the cooperation of strong sunlight.

Later, the engineering team planned to replace the contents of the glass bottle with high-pressure liquefied petroleum gas, so that as long as the bottle was broken in the war zone, the contents would immediately vaporize. The density of this stuff is heavier than air, about 2.35 kilograms per cubic meter, while air is only 1.2 kilograms per cubic meter. Therefore, the vaporized liquefied petroleum gas will gather near the ground and will explode as long as there is a spark.

Wang Zhong thought this was a good idea and approved their experimental request.

As a result, when loading glass bottles into the bomber, one of them was accidentally broken, which directly led to a huge explosion. Not only did it kill the ground staff and crew members, it also killed the chemist and his assistant who proposed the plan.

This also reveals the biggest flaw of this solution: insufficient security.

Even if the ground crew was very careful when loading the bombs, the turbulence after the plane took off did not shatter the glass bottle, and the air currents during the flight did not cause a major disaster, when the plane reached the enemy's sky and faced interception by enemy aircraft and ground anti-aircraft fire, it would still be difficult for the plane to survive until the bomb was dropped.

As long as a shrapnel breaks a bottle, the liquefied petroleum gas will spread and then be sucked into the aircraft engine, with the only result being "instant refining".

So the very Russian-style plan of throwing glass bottles failed. Now the surviving scientists of the chemical engineering team are studying other plans of fuel-air explosive bombs, but whether they can be developed in time is still a question.

Wang Zhong could only stockpile more white phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs.

He even developed a napalm bomb that was fired from the Urban assault gun, and after some experimentation he found the results to be excellent. Although it couldn't blow up the bunker, it could burn up the surrounding air and suffocate the people inside.

Of course, Russian pilots still prefer ordinary shells, using plain TNT to send the enemy and their bunkers into the sky.

In preparation for future urban warfare, Wang Zhong also began to equip the T54 with thin-shell grenades. These grenades don't produce many fragments, but the warhead is loaded with a crazy seven kilograms of explosives. One shot can temporarily incapacitate an enemy in a building for 30 seconds.

By the time of next year’s summer offensive, hopefully these things specifically targeting the Eastern Europa urban agglomeration will be ready.

As for this winter, our goal will be achieved if we can finally level the defense line and withdraw as many front-line troops as possible for rest and recuperation.

Pavlov expressed the same view: "It seems that there will be no major breakthroughs this year. We just need to flatten the defense line, reduce the troops needed for defense, and withdraw as many troops as possible to rest."

Wang Zhong: "Why don't the Prosen people just retreat? If the defense line is flattened, the number of troops they need will also be reduced."

Pavlov: "Why don't you ask Emperor Prosen? How would I know about this?"

Just then, Vasily appeared on the terrace: "A call from the commander of the St. Andrew Front."

Wang Zhong: "Why is he calling at this time?"

He had a bad impression of General Andrei. During the campaign last summer, his First Mobile Army was incorporated into the Sukhaveli Front commanded by this general, and the general basically held him back the entire time.

Vasily: "I asked him, and he said he had good news to report to you, Marshal."

Wang Zhong and Pavlov looked at each other.

----

Wang Zhong picked up the receiver and said, "This is Rokossov. Hello, General Andrei. I heard you have good news?"

"Yes, we broke through the enemy's defense line. I repeat, we broke through the enemy's defense line. We defeated the enemy's 190th Infantry Division west of Dunal and completely defeated this division. Our troops are advancing along the road from Dunal to Futenberg and will soon complete the encirclement of Dunal."

Wang Zhong picked up the phone, walked to the map, and immediately found the place name Dunal.

Pavlov followed his gaze and determined that the breakthrough point was Dunard, and explained: "This is an important defensive support point of the Prosen Army's Northern Group, and it is also the key to the enemy's threat to Fort St. Andrew. Once it is captured, the enemy's siege of Fort St. Andrew will be completely over."

Wang Zhong: "I thought we were out of trouble?"

"The north has been relieved, and supplies are being transported into the city through the northern woodlands. But that road is only slightly easier to travel than the previous road on the ice lake."

After understanding the situation, Wang Zhong congratulated him, "Congratulations, General Andre. This may be the greatest achievement we have made in the entire winter offensive."

At this time, Vasily muttered quietly: "Will the general be promoted to marshal because of this achievement?"

Pavlov: "Dunard is surrounded by most of the troops of Plossen's Northern Army Group. If he really fights a decisive battle, he will definitely be promoted to marshal."

Vasily had a sullen expression on his face: "He was holding us back like crazy last year!"

In order to prevent General Andrei from hearing Vasily's words, Wang Zhong ran to the edge of the map room with his phone.

Popov was trying to persuade Vasily: "You can't say that. Maybe he didn't play very well at that time, but now he has accumulated more experience and plays well. Maybe he is not good at defense, but very good at offense."

While Popov was speaking, Wang Zhong was also congratulating General Andrei: "Congratulations, General Davarishi, you will be promoted to marshal after the annihilation battle is over."

"It's not certain yet. We have just broken through the defense line. The enemy may deploy armored divisions to counterattack. I have already placed the 18th Independent Tank Brigade and the 11th Heavy Breakthrough Tank Regiment at the forefront of the attack, ready to counter the enemy's armored counterattack. We have too few tank units with the title of Guards, and this time we finally managed to send out two!"

Wang Zhong: "Do you need me to do something for you? Like dispatching more armored troops to you?"

"Not yet. According to the documents and maps we seized from the 290th Division Headquarters, the armored forces of the Plossen Northern Army Group are weak. The Army Group reserve deployed near our breakthrough point only has an independent armored battalion. The 18th Brigade and the 11th Regiment can handle it.

"I just want to inform you of this great news."

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

"Thank you!"

After the final politeness, Wang Zhong hung up the phone, looked at everyone in the headquarters, and then announced loudly: "Everyone, the St. Andrew Front has made a breakthrough and may soon surround Plossen's heavy troops in Dunal. I suggest that everyone stop what they are doing and have a drink!"

When they heard that they could drink, both the staff officers and clerks in the office smiled.

----

November 11, Plossen Northern Army Group, 6nd Company of the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion.

Lieutenant Carl, the company commander, climbed out of his No. 217 vehicle, jumped to the ground, and said to the infantrymen who were resting in the woods beside the road: "Which unit are you from? Where is the commander?"

A corporal pointed to the dirt slope ahead and said, "Second Lieutenant Hansen is our leader now. All other senior officers are dead. He is observing the situation on the dirt slope, and he seems to be ready to lead us to defend here."

Lieutenant Carl looked around and said, "This is indeed a good place to defend."

The corporal asked, "Lieutenant, how many tanks do you have?"

"Eight," Lieutenant Carl replied, "Our entire company is here, and the other tanks are being repaired."

Plossen's armored battalions are all large battalions, so their armored companies are also large companies. If it is a medium tank company, a company can even have 25 tanks.

The 502nd Battalion is an independent heavy tank battalion with 48 heavy tanks in total. In addition to the tanks directly under the battalion headquarters, each armored company has 14 tanks.

Lieutenant Carl's company now has six tanks undergoing overhaul, and all eight tanks that can be deployed are here.

Corporal: "Then you'd better run away quickly. The Ante tank troops occupying the village ahead are equipped with their new tanks, including tortoise shell heavy tanks and pot-covered medium tanks."

Lieutenant Carl was very calm: "It doesn't matter. We are also equipped with new heavy tanks. Our 105mm guns can deal with the Ants' pot-covered heads and iron turtles. The key is how many tanks they have."

Corporal: "This is something the lieutenant wants to find out. You can go ask him."

Lieutenant Carl: "Thank you for your information."

After saying that, he walked towards the top of the hill.

The corporal looked at the tank driver who was leaning out of the tank to catch his breath and said: "Your lieutenant is a good man."

"Yes, he often said that we should have a good relationship with the accompanying infantry." The gunner of vehicle 217 replied, "He also has a principle that the commander should personally scout the situation and understand the conditions of each road. You will soon see him riding a BMW motorcycle in the enemy's hail of bullets."

Corporal: "Really? Did you learn this habit from Ant's Marshal?"

"Marshal Rokossov," said the driver of car No. 217, "in fact, this marshal is very famous among our armored forces. After all, we have suffered defeats at his hands one after another. The pamphlets he published have Prosin versions. Everyone secretly reads them behind their chain dogs to learn from the experience in them."

Corporal: “I see.”

----

Lieutenant Carl climbed to the top of the hill and easily found the infantry second lieutenant who was lying in the grass observing the enemy.

"What's the situation?" He leaned over and asked in a low voice.

The lieutenant glanced at him, his eyes lingering on his armored soldier's black uniform and skull emblem (the emblem of the Plosson Armored Soldiers is the black uniform and skull emblem, and the emblem of the Asgard Knights is the lightning and knight emblem).

"In the village of Gamarinka ahead, we can see 11 tortoise-shell heavy tanks. According to the enemy's organization, a regiment like this should have 21 tanks. I wonder how many of them were damaged during the attack."

Lieutenant Carl: "The enemy's tanks are easy to maintain and have decent overall reliability, but they are prone to problems on the road. Maybe only 21 of the 11 are left now."

The infantry lieutenant casually asked, "What about ours?"

Lieutenant Carl smiled bitterly and said, "We are just the opposite. Maintenance is very troublesome. Short repairs often take 24 hours or even hours. Medium repairs require a week at the front-line repair shop. Long repairs require returning to the large repair shop in the rear, which often takes at least three months.

"But once our tanks are repaired, they rarely break down before the next short overhaul."

Infantry Lieutenant: "Just tell me how many tanks you have now."

"Eight. Six are being repaired and can't come."

Second Lieutenant: "This is not much better than the enemy! The enemy tanks broke down on the road and could be used as fixed turrets, but our tanks can only become trophies in the repair shop."

Lieutenant Carl: "Okay, let's continue to explain the situation! The infantry below told me that the enemy also has pot-heads."

"Yes, there should be a brigade of medium tanks. We can see nine of them. The rest are parked in the threshing ground behind the village. The stragglers who just withdrew saw them."

At this moment, Karl suddenly saw movement in the tree line on the left - there were many such trees in the combat area of ​​the Northern Army Group.

"There's movement over there!"

The infantry lieutenant looked in the direction of Carl's hand: "Indeed...but the trees blocked my view and I couldn't see clearly. I didn't hear any engine sound. Maybe it was a local riding a bicycle."

As they were talking the bikes rushed out from behind the tree line and were stopped by the Proshen infantry hiding at the bottom of the hill.

The man on the bike looked to be Officer Plossom.

Five minutes later, the officer was taken to the hill by the corporal who had just spoken to Carl.

The man was wearing a gray infantry uniform. When he saw Carl, he spoke directly: "Lieutenant, I am from the 101st Assault Gun Battalion. Our battalion was blocked by the enemy's armored forces in the forest behind. We didn't dare to confront the enemy's new tanks head-on, so we wanted to take a detour, but the two assault guns sank into the swamp.

"We are trapped, Lieutenant. If you can attack the enemy's armored forces head-on and attract their attention, we can attack from behind. Half of our crews are driving the Panzer III G assault guns, which can penetrate the rear armor of the enemy's turtle shell!"

Lieutenant Karl shook his head: "No, the rear armor of the Rokossov I is also very strong. This breakthrough tank pursues all-round defense. Your shells can't penetrate them. Don't worry, we will save you. First, I want to borrow your bicycle." Assault gun officer: "Ah? Bicycle? This is what I borrowed from the locals. Lieutenant, you can use it if you want."

Lieutenant Hansen of the infantry said, "You plan to conduct a close reconnaissance yourself? That's too dangerous!"

"Don't worry, I've done this kind of dangerous thing many times." Lieutenant Carl got up and said, "Take me to get the bicycle."

----

An hour later, Lieutenant Carl rode his bike back to his tank company.

He leaned the bike against a nearby tree and said to the gunner of tank No. 217, "Remind me when the battle is over so that I can put the bike on the tank and take it away."

Gunner: "Damn, it's already weird that Captain Virgil of the first company wants to tie a chair to the top of the tank, and you also brought a bicycle!"

Lieutenant Carl: "You stopped me from bringing my BMW motorcycle before, and I accepted your argument. Now the fuel tank of the bike won't explode, right?"

"That certainly won't happen," the gunner said angrily.

Lieutenant Carl: "All tank commanders, assemble. I have taken a thorough look at the situation in the village."

Soon, the seven tank commanders gathered around car No. 217 and looked at the village map hand-drawn by Carl in pencil.

"The enemy is in a relaxed state. There is no cordon set up and no tanks are on duty. I observed the smoke outlets of their tanks and found no tanks on duty!"

According to the practice of the Plosson Army, when a tank company in combat status is camping, there will be a group of two tanks on duty. The tanks on duty will keep their engines running, but not in gear.

In this way, if an emergency occurs, these two tanks can be put into combat immediately.

This rule was established in the early days when tanks could only be started by hand cranking. At that time, it took two or three crew members to crank the crank for a long time to start the tank.

Nowadays, all Plossen tanks have electric ignition, but unfortunately they often malfunction, so the compulsory course for Plossen tank soldiers is still to crank the tank to start it.

In order to cut costs, Ant's tanks have no electric ignition and all have to be started by hand.

(Ante's electric ignition technology is probably not as reliable as Proson's, and Proson's electric ignition often has problems, so - so Ante people don't install electric ignition.)
The Proson tank soldiers were all very familiar with the opponent's tanks, and some of them had even driven the T34, so when they heard Carl say that the Ants had no tanks on duty, they were all surprised.

"If we launch a surprise attack, won't they have to crank their tanks?"

"It won't take a minute to finish this, right?"

Lieutenant Carl: "It's even more outrageous. I saw their tankers entering the house and eating the meals prepared by the locals."

The tankers were silent.

Lieutenant Carl continued, "I am going to attack the enemy immediately while they are eating. In order not to alert the enemy, we will use only two tanks, so that the noise from the engine and gearbox will be lower, which will make the enemy relax.

"We are preparing to launch an attack from the east. Most of the enemy's turrets are pointing southwest. If they discover us, they will have to turn their turrets. Tanks with unstarted engines can only turn their turrets manually, which is very slow. This will give us a few minutes of time to spare."

Deputy Company Commander: "What a bold plan. Let me go with you."

"No, Kosher is coming with me, and you're staying behind to command the remaining six vehicles. Once we've secured our assault, I want you to advance to the east side of the highway, aiming for the main road and preparing to snipe at any tanks that are withdrawing from the village. You'll be in a great position to hit them in the flank."

Lieutenant Carl used a pencil to mark the map of the village he had drawn by hand.

Deputy company commander: “Yes.”

"Has the battalion headquarters reinforced our communications?"

"Not yet, Captain," said the deputy captain.

"Tell the infantryman to come to me once the communications company's AM vehicle arrives."

"You seemed to have foreseen that the raid would be successful," said Lieutenant Hansen.

"I have a hunch."

Lieutenant Carl put away the map and said, "Alright, start the Kosher, come with me. Everyone else wait until we fire the guns before starting the tanks."

"Yes!"

Lieutenant Hansen: "What do we infantrymen need to do? We can put together a submachine gun squad made up entirely of veterans."

"No, not for now. I didn't see any infantry in the village, not a single one," said Lieutenant Carl.

Lieutenant Hansen: "What's wrong with the enemy? The infantry and tanks are out of sync, no tanks are left on duty, and all the tanks are shut down. Are they here to fight or to take a vacation?"

Lieutenant Carl: "Maybe they thought victory was within reach and became careless."

----

At the same time, in Malinka Village.

The commander of the 11th Heavy Breakthrough Tank Regiment said triumphantly to the peasant woman who entertained him: "Anna, the war is about to end. We can rush to Proshenya in one go. Marshal Rokossov has said that the war will be over before Christmas next year!
"You haven't been getting any good treatment from Proson for so many years, it's time for you to find a husband."

Anna smiled and said, "But I want to find a hero with a gold star, or at least one from the Guards."

"We will soon be the Guards!" The sergeant gunner who was eating bread in the room laughed, "This time we can take over all of Dunard's 300,000 Prosen troops! Except for Marshal Rokossov, no one has ever fought such a large siege! Our General Andrei will become the second general of Ant to be promoted to marshal, and we will also become the Guards."

The regiment commander also laughed and said, "That's exactly what happened. When we broke through the enemy's defenses, it was just like cutting melons and vegetables. I feel like the Prosen people are going to be defeated like we did in 914!"

Anna's expression darkened: "914..."

The team leader noticed Anna's expression and asked hurriedly, "Is your husband..."

"He died in 914. Do you see the star on the door of my house? The troops were defeated at that time, and the local church had no time to give us, the relatives of the fallen soldiers, stars. So I made one myself and hung it on the door, hoping that the Prosun people would come and shoot me.

“In the end, they never came.”

The captain: "Perhaps they don't want to insult the widow of a fallen soldier? Perhaps the commander of this region just happens to be very chivalrous."

At this time, the leader suddenly stopped and asked: "Did I hear the sound of an engine?"

Everyone else in the room stopped, and after the sudden silence, there was indeed the faint sound of an engine.

Gunner: "Such a small sound, it must be far away."

The regiment commander shook his head: "We are still far away, but we must be prepared. Order the troops to launch the tanks and prepare for battle."

After the words were spoken, no one moved in the room.

"Bastard, go order the troops to launch the tanks! Go!" the regiment commander roared, and the people in the room stood up lazily and walked out of the room.

"Asshole, run!" The commander stood up and was about to kick his subordinate in the butt, which made the subordinate run.

The regiment's chaplain sighed, "That's why Marshal Rokossov ordered a strict investigation of the idea of ​​quick victory and underestimation of the enemy in the army. Your statement just now, 'ending the war before Christmas', is very problematic. Marshal Rokossov's latest pamphlet clearly states that there are still very long and severe battles waiting for us in the future."

Leader: “Really?”

"Yes."

At this moment, an explosion was heard outside the house.

The captain shrank his neck in fear, and then the shock wave shook the window of the farmhouse, making it rattling.

"Sukabulie!" The captain rushed out of the farmhouse and saw black smoke rising from the east.

"The enemy is attacking us!" he shouted, "Start the tanks! Damn it, start the tanks! How can they come so quickly? There was only a little engine noise just now!"

In fact, it was because there were only two tanks involved in the attack, which caused the regiment commander to misjudge the distance to the enemy.

In fact, when he heard the engine sound, the attacking King Tiger was already very close.

There were more explosions and four columns of smoke in the east. Because the new ammunition of the Prosen people had less powder, the number of tanks that caught fire directly after hitting the target was reduced. The actual number of tanks that were hit must have been more than this.

The regiment commander rushed to his own vehicle and saw the loader and gunner busy and sweating at the back of the tank, holding the crank.

Leader: "Hurry up and start!"

"Starting!" The gunner and loader turned the crank with all their might, as if they were winding up a music box.

At this time, the fifth column of smoke rose.

The regiment commander rushed to the crank and pushed the gunner away: "You go into the turret and turn the turret to the east with the hand crank!"

After saying that, the leader grabbed the crank, shouted a slogan, and shook the crank wildly to the rhythm.

----

"Kosher! We will each take charge of one side, and fire at full force!"

Lieutenant Carl repeated what he had just said into the microphone.

At this time, his vehicle opened fire. Because the tank was moving very smoothly at this time, the gunner fired directly while moving. Less than 800 meters away, a "turtle shell" was hit and caught fire directly, but no tank driver jumped out of the car.

Apparently there was no one in the tank.

The Kosher also opened fire.

Lieutenant Carl simply opened the hatch and leaned his upper body out.

The gunner shouted worriedly: "This is too dangerous, the enemy is only 500 meters away from us, machine guns and snipers can deal with you!"

"Don't be afraid. The enemy is running around like headless flies." Lieutenant Karl picked up the anti-aircraft machine gun and fired at the village. "Kosher, fire at the enemy! They are cranking the tanks! Don't let them start!"

"understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, No. 217 opened fire again.

One of the turtle shells was hit.

In this way, the two Tiger Kings fought all the way from 800 meters to less than 100 meters, and all the tanks that could be seen directly on the east side of the village were on fire.

Before rushing into the village, Lieutenant Carl glanced at the east side of the road and was satisfied to see that another six vehicles led by the deputy company commander appeared there and fired at the tanks in the village from that position.

Lieutenant Carl: "We are about to enter the village. We will take the village road. The road is full of tracks of enemy tanks. We will definitely be able to pass through!"

So two Tiger Kings rushed into the village from the village road and headed for the intersection of the village road and the highway.

The gunner fired again and hit a jarhead.

At this time, the distance was less than 100 meters, and with the amazing armor-piercing ability of the 105mm gun, the pot-covered head was directly penetrated.

Lieutenant Carl used an anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot at the Ant people next to the pot-cut man, knocking down three of them directly.

Kosher's voice came over the radio: "We should take an infantry submachine gun squad. The enemy who is launching tanks now is a target in front of the submachine gun!"

Lieutenant Carl was about to reply when he saw a tanker had started up and a tank driver was climbing onto the vehicle.

Without saying a word, he swept his anti-aircraft machine gun over and hit the tank driver directly in the back.

As the tank driver fell, the gunner opened fire, and the shell hit the pot cover head, but it slipped, and a spark hit the house behind.

Gunner: "Damn it! Ant's pot-cut hair is so damn annoying! Bullets ricochet so easily!"

Lieutenant Carl: "Hit the hull!"

"No, we are too tall and the enemy tank is too short. It is difficult to hit the hull from such a close distance!"

At this time, two Tiger Kings rushed to the central square of the village, which was also the intersection of the village road and the highway.

Lieutenant Carl suddenly saw a car that had been started and its artillery was aimed at the turtle shell.

At this moment his heart sank, and he could only shout: "Kosher, enemy tanks, on your side!"

"I see it, fire—"

The enemy opened fire first, and Kosher's King Tiger was hit and stopped immediately.

Lieutenant Carl had no time to observe Kosher's condition. Driven by adrenaline, he shouted: "Turn the turret! Quick! On our right!"

The turret's motor hummed and the Tiger King's huge turret turned to the right.

The enemy's turret locked onto vehicle No. 217 early on.

Lieutenant Carl turned his machine gun and fired at the enemy, trying to knock out the enemy's observation gun.

Finally, the turret turned into place.

The gunner roared and opened fire.

The enemy tank exploded.
