Chapter 1134 Tank Encounter

  Don't look at the roads that are now muddy due to the melting of snow. But at the edge of the forest, there are still roads that can barely pass tanks. In order to prevent the enemy's armored forces from using this road to break into the defense area, Bely will drive the tank himself every now and then, and patrol these areas together with two other tanks.

  The three tanks drove to the edge of the forest and stopped. The road ahead was muddy. If they continued to drive forward, they might get stuck in the mud and be unable to move.

  Biely opened the top cover of the tank, leaned out half of his body from the turret, and raised his binoculars to look around. At this time, the roof of a tank parked not far away was also opened, and a tank lieutenant poked his head out and asked Bely loudly, who was observing the environment: "Comrade Colonel, did you find anything?"

The one who shouted was Lieutenant Alitai, a tank company commander under Bely. He was originally a subordinate of Sokov, but because Bely's troops suffered heavy losses in the battle to defend Stalingrad, he was kept by Bely. Come down and continue to serve as the company commander in the tank brigade.

  Biely shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see anything."

"Comrade Brigadier," although Beley is still serving as the deputy division commander of the 41st Guards Division, Alitai still likes to call him Brigadier Commander when addressing him: "I think we are a little too fussy, how could the enemy What about coming out of the forest? If they really entered the forest, they might not be able to drive for a few kilometers before they would be stuck in the mud and unable to move."

"No, even if the enemy won't come from this road, we can't take it lightly." Bely put down his binoculars and said to Alitai: "You know, the enemy can pass this road, bypass the 125th regiment's defense line, and rush directly to the front line. To the division headquarters. Once the enemy's armored forces get close to the division headquarters, it will be terrible."

  The two were talking, when suddenly there was a low engine roar. Bely's first reaction when he heard this sound was that another tank from his own brigade was coming up from behind. But soon, he found a snow-covered short-barreled tank driving towards his position.

   After being stunned for a few seconds, Bere immediately understood that it was a German tank. Because the body was covered with snow, he didn't notice it when he observed it just now. He hurriedly shouted at Alitai: "Lieutenant, the enemy tank is coming, get ready for battle." After shouting, Bely retracted into the tank and closed the hatch.

   Before Bely could get the tank soldiers ready to fire, the German tanks had already stopped and aimed at the position of the three Soviet tanks and fired a single shot. This shot was fired hastily and missed the target at all, but the splashed mud and flying shrapnel still made the tank body jingle.

  Three Soviet tanks started to fire one after another, but the German tank soldier was very cunning. After firing the guns, he immediately rushed forward with full horsepower. As a result, the three shells fired by the Soviet army all hit the original parking position of the German tanks.

  The German tank quickly fired a second shot, this time accurately hitting a Soviet T-34 tank. Immediately after the tank was shot, it burst into flames, and the tankers who escaped from the tank turned into Pyromen. They rushed to the ground and rolled on the spot, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

  Biely looked through the observation hole in front, and saw clearly that apart from the German tank that was rushing towards him, there were several other tanks behind him. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called the brigade headquarters through the car radio: "I am Colonel Bely. We encountered a German tank that suddenly appeared at patrol point No. 2 and requested immediate support."

  The deputy brigade commander who received the distress signal quickly replied: "Comrade brigade commander, don't worry, I will immediately lead the troops to reinforce, you must stand up."

  The battle was still going on, and the fast-approaching German tank was hit by Bely's tank, and immediately stopped advancing, burning blazingly on the spot. But unfortunately, the tank where Ali Tai was in was also hit by the enemy's armor-piercing projectile. Although it did not burn, explode and catch fire, the driver and loader unfortunately died.

   "Comrade Brigadier," Ali Tai, who was slightly injured, quickly reported to Bely: "My tank was also shot, and the driver and loader died."

  Bely came out on patrol today, and there are three tanks in total. It was the T-34/75 that was destroyed, while Bely and Aritai were flying the T-34/85. Don't say that the opponent only has a few Panzer 3 and Panzer 4 tanks, even if there are more, Beley will not be afraid. He calmly directed the gunner to lock on the target to be attacked.

   Regardless of the German tanks that appeared on the opposite side at this time, there were already five of them. Bie Lei was not worried at all. He knew in his heart that the opponents were all number three and four tanks, while he was driving the most advanced T-34/85 tank, which was not at the same level as the opponent.

  At the same distance, I can blow up the German tank turret with one shot, and the enemy tank may not even be able to penetrate my front armor. Therefore, he is confident that he will win without having an advantage in numbers.

  A shell landed in front of the vehicle and exploded. The raised mud covered the observation port in front of the tank, making it impossible for Bely to see where the enemy tank was. He got up and was about to go out to clean up the soil, but was stopped by another tank soldier: "Comrade Brigadier, it's too dangerous outside, I'd better go out and clean up the soil covering the observation board."

  As soon as the tank soldiers reminded him, Biely immediately realized that he was now the leader of a brigade, and thousands of commanders and fighters in the whole brigade were still waiting for his command. If something happened to him, the troops would become leaderless. So he agreed that the soldier went out to clean up the soil.

   A few minutes later, the tank soldiers crawled in from the outside and excitedly reported to Bely: "Comrade Brigadier, the soil has been cleaned up, and we can fight back against the enemy."

  Seeing that the mud on the observation port had been cleared by the tank soldiers, Bely immediately ordered the tank soldiers to shoot at the moving German tanks. The shot was very accurate, and directly hit a No. 3 tank that was moving. The ammunition that exploded immediately lifted the turret into the sky, and fell heavily on the ground, creating a huge crater.

   A tank following behind did not have time to brake, and directly crashed into the turret that had just landed on the ground, and was immediately blocked on the road. As soon as the tank stopped, it was destroyed by an armor-piercing projectile fired by Alitai's tank.

  Although Bely and Alitai are driving new tanks, the German tanks have an advantage in number. Although Bely and Alitai have high hits, they quickly destroyed five or six enemy tanks. But the enemy's tanks were too many, and within a quarter of an hour, they were surrounded by German tanks from all directions.

  Seeing this situation, Biely felt a little desperate, wondering if he would die here today?
