The new month is about to begin again, and monthly tickets are booked!

**********

In this case, the Soviet army was helpless. To be precise, the Soviet tanks were helpless.

The reason is that their chassis is located in tank fortifications and is difficult to move.

They can actually move because these tank fortifications are more like digging a hole on the ground, and then stacking them with sandbags after they drive in instead of really burying them... This is to make sure that in case of an emergency, these tanks can still break free from the fortifications.

But they dare not act rashly. Moving means that the target is larger and easier to be destroyed by the enemy.

So they could only stay where they were.

They wanted to fight back, but the vision in the tank was too poor. It was still dark at this time, not to mention that the enemy was still wrapped in white disguise and could not detect it at all.

If there is any time when the enemy's position can be detected, it is the moment when ME63 flew towards the tank after it was launched.

But at this time, the tank crew is more concerned about adjusting the muzzle to aim at the target, but whether the rocket will hit it.

If you are lucky, the rocket did not hit, and when the tank crew came to their senses and adjusted the muzzle, it became dark outside again and could not find the target.

So, the Soviet tanks could only wait in place, waiting for one rocket after another to fly over their heads with flames, or explode near the tanks... If the tank hits, there is no need to wait any longer.

Some Soviet tankers finally couldn't help but start the tank to break free from the fortification with a "long" sound. Hopefully escaped from this hopeless battlefield... But this will only speed up its destruction...

A few "swoosh" whistle, the tank was blown up in the wake of ME63 and the fire was ignited. What it can do is that the flames and the violent explosions that occurred later affected the operator's sight for a period of time and reduced the hit rate.

In desperation, the Soviet army even organized a counterattack against the German army.

This is indeed a solution. Because the German army carried out "fixed removal" in the form of assault teams, there were not many troops entering the position, and there were some engineers besides the ME63 team.

However, the German army had already prepared cover troops below the high ground, and light and heavy machine guns fired onto the high ground, and the commando was equipped with STG44, so a dense rain of bullets quickly knocked them to the ground. A short while before the position, the corpses of Soviet soldiers were everywhere, and some even slid along the slope and snow layer to the German soldiers ambushing in the snow.

Qin Chuan looked at the battle situation with a telescope and said, "You can withdraw the troops!"

"But Lieutenant Colonel..." Eberhard asked in confusion: "There are still some tanks that have not been removed!"

"That doesn't matter, major!" Qin Chuan said: "The remaining Soviet tanks will no longer pose much threat to us! What is important is our ME63!"

"You mean..."

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "The reason why the Soviets launched a counterattack like this is more important to hope to seize several ME63s. If they are lucky, they can capture a few more prisoners, so that they will know the weakness of ME63 and can even imitate it, do you understand?"

Eberhard's face changed, he responded in a hurry, and then issued an order to retreat.

Qin Chuan was right. The Soviet army did have plans to seize several ME63s, and this order was issued by General Watukin, the commander of the Front Army.

His original words were: "Search the enemy's new weapons at all costs, even if you sacrifice a regiment or even lose the entire defense line!"

As a general who is good at commanding tank troops to fight, Vatujing knew the consequences of such weapons that can track tanks, change trajectory and accurately hit targets.

Therefore, after some thoughts, he believed that what is important now is not the defense line, the troops and even the tanks, but the secret of the new German equipment.

If you don't know the secret of this new equipment and formulate targeted tactics, then this battle will inevitably fail... because the enemy can suppress its own tanks at will but its own side can do nothing.

Then, infantry will only be the target of being slaughtered in front of enemy tanks.

Vatutin's idea is right, and it can even be said to be more visionary than Stalin said to defend the third line of defense.

But unfortunately, Vatujing did lose the third line of defense and also lost a division, but he did not get the secret of "new weapons"... In the early morning of the next day, the German 21st Armored Division launched an attack on the Soviet defense line under the cover of fighter jets and bombers.

Since anti-tank guns and a considerable number of tanks were removed, the battle was very easy. The German army broke through the Soviet defense line in more than half an hour and captured more than 3,000 Soviet troops, including more than 30 tanks buried in fortifications... They had no time to escape from the fortifications, so they were thrown into the original place by tank soldiers, most of which were not blown up, that is, they fell into the hands of the German army intact.

In fact, the Soviet tank soldiers at this time always abandoned their tanks, and another reason was that they believed that their tanks were just targets for the enemy.

If so, what's the point of keeping or driving these tanks to the battlefield? It's just a tin coffin!

As a soldier, the most helpless thing is perhaps the loss of confidence in his equipment.

While the 21st Panzer Division was following the Soviet army, the 4th Panzer Army Command changed its direction.

Kirchner looked at Walter with a smug smile, and reported to General Hot loudly: "General, the 48th armor has broken through the enemy's defense line and is expected to arrive at the Yakovrevo Highway in three hours!"

General Hort looked at the map, then nodded and said, "Very good, you even half a day ahead of the scheduled time!"

Then General Hort turned his head and asked Walter: "Where is the SS 2nd Armored Army now?"

"It's still on the third line of defense, General!" Walter replied a little embarrassedly: "We are trapped in Bekovka, and the enemy's defense is very tight..."

"Lieutenant General!" General Hort interrupted Walter: "As far as I know, the 48th Armored Army encountered much more enemies than you. The Soviets even mobilized an entire elite tank army to deal with them. And you only faced a line of defense... The 48th Armored Army broke through in just one night, but you were delayed there for a few days!"

Walter was pale, but he had nothing to say, because the facts were right in front of him that the equipment of the SS 2nd Armored Army was much better than that of the 48th Armored Army.
