Steel Soviet Union

When this group army level complete organic bombardment finally subsided amidst the smoke and the flames, the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, which had fully felt the "artillery doctrine" of the Soviet Red Army, had not had time to count the number of lost troops and equipment, roaring with diesel At this moment, the terrifying sound of the roar of engines and the grinding of steel tracks slowly sounded in the ears of the German soldiers.

"Tanks! Russian tanks, anti-tank guns, anti-tank gun teams, hurry up and get in position! Hurry!"

Under the shouts of the German infantry company commander, several German infantrymen who were numb from the shock of the Soviet artillery immediately threw the 98K Mauser rifles in their hands behind them, and ran into several 98K Mauser rifles in a hurry. From the anti-tank holes that had not yet been collapsed by Soviet shelling, the 37mm PAK36 anti-tank guns and the 50mm PAK38 anti-tank guns were slowly pushed out by manpower.

The continuous offensive and defensive battles for several days have made the German defense forces dare not place the precious and heavy 88 guns directly on the first-line defensive positions.

You can't tell when the Soviet army will come roaring in every now and then. The barrage-covering artillery bombardment will not call you in advance to warn you. Several 88mm anti-aircraft guns were directly blown up on the position because they were too late to move in time. The twisted and deformed wreckage reminded the German soldiers all the time.

Any fool who dared to ignore or provoke the Soviet artillery would either end up in a field hospital or disappear directly from the earth. Just like the armored units that the German army is most proud of, those Ivans' field artillery units are definitely at this time. The most ferocious artillery unit on earth, bar none.

When the rumbling Soviet tanks lined up in a row had closed the distance enough to make the defending German troops above the position feel the ground trembling under their feet, those tanks were light and could be hidden on the spot in the German anti-cannon The 37 and 50 mm small-caliber anti-tank guns in the hole finally entered the gun position and were ready.

"Directly ahead at twelve o'clock! Five hundred meters away! Load armor-piercing bullets!"

"Loading completed!"

"Aiming at him!"

"Fire!"

The German anti-tank gun team, which was strictly divided into loaders, gunners, and gunners, finally followed the order and began to try to stop these rumbling steel behemoths. The hot muzzle fire would drag a silver-white tracer trail. The Type 40 tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile was suddenly fired from the gun barrel. The unobstructed aiming distance of less than 500 meters was simply easier than target practice for these German anti-tank artillery groups.

Ding-ding——

The huge impact sound was accompanied by a crisp echo that echoed throughout the heavy tank. Although such an unpenetrated sound sounded a bit scary, he knew the attributes of his enhanced version of the KV1 heavy tank. But Malashenko smiled ferociously, not taking these German toothpick cannons seriously at all.

"With 25mm of additional armor, 75mm of hull armor, and a 31-degree inclination angle, even I dare to take one shot of the 88-gun. They are a bunch of useless little toothpicks!"

The Soviet KV1 heavy tanks, which had only appeared in twos and threes in previous battles, now mobilized at least forty tanks in a line-up and rushed towards our side. Such a scene was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem for Colonel Wilhelm Stockhausen, the leader of the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, who had been standing on the position and leading his troops in a fierce battle with the Soviet army for several days.

"Call immediately and ask where our air support is now! Tell the Air Force liaison that if those Stukas and Messerschmitts don't appear over our heads, their bombs will have to be dropped on us. We are on our own side!"

"yes!"

After giving the order, he continued to raise the telescope in his hand and stared at the armor-piercing shells fired by his own anti-tank gun crews within his sight. They hit the thick front armor plate of the Soviet heavy tanks and then bounced away. , or a scenario where a sharp armor-piercing warhead is directly embedded in the armor plate and cannot penetrate because the armor is too thick.

I have always been convinced of the advanced level of the weapons and equipment condensed by German technology in our hands. I believe that the German Third Reich has both the most elite soldiers and the most sophisticated weapons and equipment in the world. Mr. Mr. Commander, several years since the outbreak of the war. For the first time in weeks, I had doubts about my long-held belief.

If the Slavs on the opposite side are really an inferior nation as described in the spirit of the head of state and the speech promoted by the propaganda department, those weapons and equipment created by the hands of the inferior nation can use fundamental quality differences to crush our own side. , so what kind of existence is the Germanic nation that I belong to?

"Damn! I actually think about these boring questions like those young children. I am really possessed by Goebbels!"

Just when the commander of the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, who had come to his own conclusion about the so-called superiority and inferiority of races, was about to raise his hand to take another look at the time on his watch, a familiar whistling sound of propellers immediately enveloped him. A powerful aircraft engine noise suddenly sounded over the entire battlefield.

"It's the Air Force! These late bastards are finally here!"

Just as Colonel Stockhausen, who looked ecstatically on his face, expected, the German Air Force, which took advantage of the first golden ray of the rising sun at dawn to take off from the frontline field airport, was finally at This is what they need most when the battlefield is deteriorating.

These pushed the engine output to the maximum for the German ground attack formation. After seeing the deteriorating battlefield situation on the ground, there was no hesitation. A total of 24 JU-87B2 Stuka dive bombers followed immediately. Under the cover of 16 Messerschmitt BF-109E3 fighter jets, they dived straight towards the approaching earth with a scream in the sky.

For a moment, the Stuka bombers swooped and roared like a death scream, followed by the violent explosions of aerial bombs falling to the ground, which instantly resounded throughout the battlefield. The BF-109E3 fighter jets, which had no air supremacy to fight for, were not willing to be left alone. With the double roar of cannons and machine guns, they also joined the ground attack session one after another.

From the commander's seat in the turret of his car, he looked up at the German fighter planes that were constantly diving, rising and flying. Marla, who had always been full of resentment for the unilateral massacre of his own ground troops by the German Air Force, Shenke, surprisingly, did not complain any more this time, but just looked at it quietly as if it didn't matter.

Just as a Stuka completed its dive and accurately dropped the 250 kilogram aerial bomb in the belly of the aircraft above the head of a KV1 heavy tank, it had just entered the lifting channel. A barrage of flames woven together by the 7mm Berezin machine gun and the 62mm Shkas machine gun directly hit the unprepared Stuka until the fuel tank exploded and disintegrated on the spot.
