Eight hundred ten.(1/2)
Ukraine.!
Lamel slowed down the "098" starting speed.
"Do we still want to continue moving forward?" He had some concerns. In front of "098", hundreds of retreating grenadiers rushed towards their direction, and from time to time they were hit on the back or fell on the head. Obviously, at this time, their courage to go back and help them raise their comrades were gone. The Russians were right behind them, and the number was too large to count!
Their reserve team?
"098" stopped moving forward, which was the order given by Nochil! If you want to cover the retreat of the infantry, the distance is just right. The Russians' mobilizers can only exert their power after getting closer!
The grenadiers did not completely lose their fighting spirit. If that were the case, they would run back to the place where the Germans came without looking back. The German armored support platoon gave them effective support, both physically and psychologically. At least they saw that there were several tanks fighting with them, and they felt more at ease!
They attached some obstacles around the tank and began to block the approaching Russians. The Russians who rushed to the front immediately rolled, while the others looked for bunkers to seek attack!
Nocher admires the courage of the Russians! Without the support of tank troops, he dares to attack the enemy defense line with infantry as the main force from the front. Perhaps their stupidity lies in this! If they stayed honestly in their own position bunkers, then perhaps so many Russian families would not have lost their relatives.
Norchier found a target worthy of their shooting! The "098" gun must have a prerequisite. Since the grenade fired by the 50MM gun is not very wide in damage radius, if it is not a very dense enemy formation, Norchier would not choose to waste shells.
Norcher found from the periscope that a door was carried by seven or eight Russians at a distance of about 300 meters in front of him.

It should be a mortar! They considered the curved fire range of the mortar, but did not take the German army into consideration! If they set up the cannon, the survival time of the grenades that Nochil wanted to attach to their vehicle would be measured in seconds.
The muzzle of "098" is gradually raised, waiting for orders! Nochil has issued a fire order! Targeted shooting.
The car body shook on the spot, and a high-explosive grenade drew an arc. Nochil had no time to cheer for his companion's beautiful shot. Around the Russians carrying mortars who were bombed into rotten flesh, more Russians were moving forward bravely. The smoke just exploded had not yet dissipated, and several Russian soldiers who did not die in the first time struggled and cried. Some Russians chose to help their injured and unable to move comrades. The second German shell was almost at the same point! The earth pillars several meters high rose up from the ground, and the Russian soldiers who wanted to rescue the wounded were buried in the earth blocks, while more were injured by huge shock waves and bleeding from the seven orifices.
The Russians in the woods also began to launch fierce frontal attacks from the German left wing. Their number was strengthened because the woods were occupied by them! More Russian soldiers continued to support the troops in the front along the unimpeded rear. However, the Germans did not have reinforcements!
What Norchir saw from the periscope was still only Russian soldiers! They did not have armored troops?! The courage was commendable! Norchir was secretly happy but worried.
What I am happy is that there is no threat from the opponent's armor. The German army only needs to slaughter the Russian soldiers with all their strength. What I am worried about is that it is the first time that Nochil has faced so many enemy troops! They have launched a charge from almost multiple directions at the same time! Maybe they are waiting for this moment!
When the German army was exhausted from attacking, they invested in the reserve force! That's right! They hoped that a wave of counterattack would completely defeat the German army!
They almost did it! Look at the wreckage of the tanks burning with raging fire and the dead bodies of German soldiers everywhere! The Russians did a beautiful job. They completed their combat concepts. The only obstacle they needed to cross were the armored forces of the German army from the second-line.
The two remaining "Explosers" and Klaus's "Leopard" have begun to reverse. They have successfully retreated to the side of the German "098"! How to cover them?
Nochil ordered a reverse! Slowly reverse! If this is not the case, within three minutes, the Russian soldiers like locusts would surround their "098" and use their moulds with almost one of their hands to train the Germans to train tanks.
The Russians were sure that they won! The Germans retreated and were defeated! They rushed to the army without a defeat! There was no attack formation, scattered and disorganized!
Hans operated the MG62 parallel machine gun and began to spray dense projectiles towards the Russian military approaching the front. The shells splashed, and the shiny bullets drilled into the Russian army's attack crowd. In a short time, the Russians saw a thick red. They fell down one by one to fall in pieces! Perhaps even they who despised their lives felt that they could no longer bear the huge casualties, so they began to stop charging! Looking for their respective cover again!
If it weren't for the machine gun's power, they would have almost succeeded! The grenadiers could not resist the Russians' attacks on the sea of people! Their number was not something these grenadiers could deal with! Fortunately, they only had people!
Norchir was highly concentrated! And he was completely excited, from the initial desire to kill, to the current panic. This was not like fighting a war! It was more like massacre! The man was madly facing the fierce firefighting of the German army! It was like being cut wheat! It fell to the ground in pieces. Norchir ordered the fire to be opened gradually and frequently, because a shell was shot out, causing the Russians in a region to completely disappear. But in a short time, the vacancy would be filled.
Not far from the German "098" vehicle body, several grenadiers set up an MG2 heavy machine, which also made Nochil feel sorry for those Russians who only know how to attack blindly! If they still choose to charge!
A hail-like shell fell from the sky, lifting two grenades operating light machine guns into the air! Bombing? Russian artillery? The bombing spots are not very large, small caliber cannons! Nochil's heart was a little uneasy. If it was a small caliber cannon, then it was not used to deal with infantry!
The second shell patted again, blowing a soldier on their "098" flank, and smoke and dust rose.

Norchir searched in the periscope. He also understood that its goal was his own "098".
Bodilla took his headset off the top of his head and glanced out from the side window of the turret: "Quick! We're finished reversing!"
Those two cannons were not deliberately bombarding the grenadiers, they were hit incorrectly!
Nocher shouted loudly: "Reverse! Quick! Get out of here..." The third shell exploded almost against their body! Fortunately, its caliber is not large, and its caliber is often linked to power, which cannot cause effective damage to the body, but it makes Nocher's entire crew members panic.
"098" began to reverse! As they retreated together were the grenadiers who had planned to take root and block the Russians. Now they did not plan to do that! Nochil observed carefully and finally came behind a very hidden small mound in the direction of the German army at twelve o'clock. An anti-tank of the Russians! Nochil still remembers the advice given by Klaus:
Or kill it! Or be killed!
Nochil chose to withdraw from the battle, and he would not block the lives of Nochil's crew. From the periscope, although it was far away, Nochil saw the Russian officer with a gun on his back waving his arms violently toward the lower part. It was a gesture of firing a cannon. A ball of fire and smoke flashed out of the cannon's muzzle. The shells flew across.

The Russians' skills were not very good. This time they had no gains. They just collapsed a 1-meter-diameter pit on the surface not far from the side of the Nochil's "098" car. At this time, the "098" had gradually exceeded the range of the big 5 gun!
The retreat of the German army led to the attack of the Russians. It cannot be said that they were just not remembering to fight, because the German army was indeed in chaos. If Nocher was the commander of the Russian army, he would also issue an order to attack!
Their "098" was lucky. They were not really hit or destroyed by shells! They were just patronized by some small-caliber bullets, and only some splashes of Mars were created. Those uncovered grenadiers could only describe the ending of tragic!
Bodilla gasped for a breath: "Help them! Our tanks are at least not afraid of bullets!"
Nochil disagreed with Bodilla's proposal! Nochil raised his arm and pointed directly in front of him: "Their anti-tank guns have moved!"
Bodilla's face turned pale. He knew what this meant. They had no choice but to retreat! This was equivalent to trapping the grenadiers in danger.
Bodilla shouted: "Let me do it!"
He took off the headset and pushed away Schmidt, who was filling a grenade into the barrel.
Norchir was shocked: "What can you do! Go back to your position!"
But Bodilla ignored Nochil's order: "Stop! Stop! Don't reverse the car!"
He finally gave Norchier a reason to be angry!
They had temporarily lost the battle. The Russian army took advantage of the victory and pursued the grenadiers, and the grenadiers were unable to organize effective blocking firepower. The Russians' encirclement situation gradually became clear. They constantly compressed their fronts from the woods on the left and the front.
Behind the retreating grenadiers were Russian soldiers coming like tides. The only thing that was still symbolically blocking them was the snapping MG62 machine gun. However, it only shot a few Russian soldiers. Soon the entire machine gun team was shattered by a shell flying from afar. The machine gun body was completely damaged! The Russians were unobstructed!
The grenadiers who shine their backs on the enemy could only escape to the places they thought were safe. The Russian bullets chased them and splashed the ground behind them, until they extended to the body of the grenadiers. The blood mist scattered, but the grenadiers who were hit but did not forget to escape were rolling and finally remained motionless.
Nocher thought that the casualties of the Russians were far greater than that of him, and judging by the current situation, it was almost equalized! The German soldiers only retreated and no real firepower output, especially the Russian troops in the woods, which simply used German soldiers exposed to the roads and fields as living targets. Various types of guns were fired continuously.
"098" is reversing, so it cannot provide effective fire cover for the retreating German soldiers! To put it bluntly, the German army is already in danger of protecting itself! All they can take into account is the lives of German crew members. At least this is Norchir's experience that made Norchir issue this order: "098" must get out of the battle.
On the way back the German army, the bodies of killed German soldiers were scattered everywhere on the road and in the gullies.
Nocher had already bowed his head in his heart, saying that he really lost.

!
Bodilla was still fighting back against Nochil's despair, and he took over the control of the artillery. Schmidt stared at Bodilla who pushed him aside in surprise. What did he do? Anyone can do it if the artillery is fired.
Bodilla raised his head and looked firm and confident. Nochil originally planned to continue to stop his ridiculous behavior. Nochil discovered that Nochil could not say such words.
Nochil looked away, at least not letting it look directly at Bodilla's sharp eyes: "I will definitely regret this decision I made! I hope you don't regret it!"
Bodilla loaded the shell and smiled at the others: "Look for the target, commander!" The car body bumped! Bodilla almost didn't sit firmly and hit the cannon. He reacted quickly enough and reached out to grab Lamer's arm on the side. Lamer roared in pain.
Norcher shouted: "Hans! Don't let the Russians approach us again!"
Hans nodded at Nochil, then pulled down the gear of the MG62 machine gun he was operating: "There are not many bullets!"
Nochel recalled that he had been shooting wildly before! He had almost exhausted all his stored ammunition: "Save a little bit this time!"
Their "098" is still the only tank closest to those approaching Russian troops.
Although there were four "Destroyer 3" chariots behind them, two "Exploser" and Klaus's "Leopard" and the same armored support platoon as the German army, they did not come forward to help the German army, but just stayed at a safe distance and spit out a shell that could not threaten anyone from time to time.
Norchir finally knew who made the earth pillars that rose around the Russians.
Bodilla pointed forward: "The only thing that threatens us is that cannon!"
Norchir's eyes never moved away from the periscope: "I'm looking for it! Where is it?
Since their "098" retreated a long distance before and the sense of direction was not as clear as before, the Russian anti-tank position, which was already short and difficult to distinguish, was unknown.
The first target of the German army's body shooting was actually several Russian soldiers holding submachine guns!
Norchier didn't know why he issued this puzzling order! He just subconsciously ordered the fire. When he saw the Russian soldiers who fell over with the scattered pieces of soil in the sky, the strong sense of aggrievance in Norchier's heart no longer existed.
