Chapter 14 Tiger ()

On the battlefield, the flow of time sometimes seems fast and sometimes slow. Lying in the cold snow, Lynn felt that it had been a long time. It was not until the "butcher" cries came that he turned his head again, but saw that the injured companion just now closed his eyes tightly, his chest no longer fluctuated, and his heart was filled with infinite sadness.

“lynn!”

The "butcher" called Lynn's name, but his next sentence was something Lynn could not understand at the moment. The SS sergeant was lying flat, his head facing his side, and his whole face was covered with blood and mud. Although the military uniform was dirty and wet, it could be seen that it was caused by mud on the ground rather than a lot of bleeding.

In addition to the old wounds, Lin En felt that neither the body nor the head had any new injuries, and he had recovered some strength while lying down, so he shook his head at the "butcher". He didn't know if he understood the meaning of this action. As for getting up and continuing to run, Lin En had such an idea, but he soon realized that since he was blown down by the shells, the Soviet artillery fire gradually faded away. Since he was lying down, why should he get up to attract the enemy's shells and bullets?

With this idea, Lin En turned his head to the other side. There were many Soviet tanks in his sight, but the size was more than doubled. It was estimated that it was less than 500 meters here. In this case, if you stood up rashly, you might immediately get shot into a sieve by the T-34 machine gun. This may be because the "butcher" did not dare to make a big move.

During the break between the Soviet tanks firing, the "butcher" opened his mouth and said, "Lin En was really anxious and helpless at this moment - how good would it be if he could communicate directly with words?

Seeing that Lin En didn't reply, the "butcher" turned around with difficulty and crawled closer. At this time, Lin En was surprised to find that three fingers of the "butcher"'s left hand disappeared, and blood was still flowing out of the broken finger, and the slap and cuffs were covered with blood. Just as he was about to find the first aid kit, he remembered that it had been used on the yellow-haired body, so he had to take out the handkerchief from his pocket.

When Linen helped him bandage his left hand with a handkerchief, the "butcher" gritted his teeth and kept silent, staring at the Soviet tanks. After crossing the hills, they significantly slowed down their pace so that the infantry who got off the car could keep up. The Soviet combat infantry were wearing white winter coats, basically with a "bobosha", and were constantly shooting at the remains of German soldiers who were lying or lying on the ground along the way. In this case, even if Linen and others had the courage to sacrifice themselves, they could not find an opportunity to attack the Soviet tanks.

After barely bandaging the wound, Lin En saw the "butcher" frowning with an angry but helpless expression. He was about to turn around, but unexpectedly saw several moving white shadows appearing outside the village. He quickly pointed to the "butcher" behind. When the "butcher" looked back, he immediately clenched his right fist!

When Lin En saw his own chariot, he felt ecstatic. He carefully identified that there were 7 of these chariots in gray and white painted, two of which were very prominent in size. The tall and wide body looked like a heavy wall from the front. The spacing between the tracks on both sides was very wide, and the branches and leaves used for camouflage could not conceal the thick and long gun barrels.

In the past three days, Lynn had not seen a real German tank, but based on the size of the two half-track armored vehicles before, it is speculated that these two giants should be the Tiger or Tiger King tanks. Despite the shortcomings of slow speed, short travel, and high mechanical failure rate, the thick armor and superb firepower still give these land war kings an incomparable domineering aura. They are both opponents that make the enemy afraid and headache in the east and west.

The "butcher" turned his head, the dull look in his eyes disappeared, and he said happily: "Tige! Uzhefer-Tige!"

Lynn hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized that what he called "Tier" should be the English "tiger", which means "tiger". Judging from the historical battle records, as long as the two Tiger tanks are used properly, they will have a chance to kill a dozen T-34s and escape unscathed. The German combat troops who left the village to advance here also had five other models of combat vehicles to cover them from the side. Judging from the outline, there should be three of them, the later-stage No. 4 tanks, and the other two are likely to be some type of assault gun or self-propelled anti-tank guns.

Dong!

The first to fire was the "tiger" that suddenly stopped in the middle of the armored queue. The bright yellow flame and off-white smoke from the combustion of the launcher gusts out from both sides of the muzzle retractor, making it look like a steel monster smoking a cigar. In terms of the scene, this is more spectacular than the T-34 without a muzzle retractor. The shells flew over the head whistling, and Lin Neng quickly turned his head and happened to see the shells hit a T-34 accurately.

The huge explosion instantly swallowed the white-painted Soviet chariots, and forced the dozens of tons to stop on the spot. The flames and smoke dissipated, and the turret of the T-34 and the front of the body were burned to charred black. The cockpit hatch suddenly opened, and the rolling black smoke poured out from inside, but no members of the tank team escaped. The bullet holes and cracks were visible across hundreds of meters, but it is basically certain that this guy has been scrapped directly.

The majestic attack of his own tank made Lin Neng almost clapped his hands and screamed. Then, a second "bang" sound came, and he simply stared at the Soviet tanks intently. After the German tanks appeared, they scattered their formation while accelerating their travel speed, trying to reduce the probability of being shot. However, the first shell of the second "tiger" short-range shooting still accurately hit a Soviet tank, and it happened to hit its track position from the side. After the shell penetrated the body of the car, it exploded inside, and then another more violent explosion occurred. Although the turret of the T-34 was not separated from the body, the black smoke rising everywhere still showed its broken body.

"Gut Gmatt!"

Finally he let out anger, the "butcher" excitedly patted the ground with his right hand. Lynn turned around and smiled at him. Although there was no mirror, he knew that this smile must be as bright as the rain was clear!

After two consecutive hits, the Soviet tankers could not hold back. At this time, the tanks on both sides were still about 1,500 meters apart. Even the t34/85 could not shake the armor of the Tiger tank from the front at this distance, but several t-34s still carried out short stop shooting. Lynn and the "butcher" turned to see their armored battle group at the same time. The shells were screaming and landing in the wilderness, and the landing point was seven or eight meters away from the nearest German tank. The shooting level of both sides was consistent!

The beautiful "good start" did not make the German tankers forget their wits. The two tiger-styles restarted, and their majestic bodies moved forward slowly with the sound of the engine, moving about twenty meters away. They stopped one after another, and after about four or five seconds of aiming and adjustment, they opened fire again.

The people lying in the middle of the battlefield - besides Lynn and the "Butterfighter", may also have other survivors, all of whom turned around to see the results of the shelling. After being released at an initial velocity of more than 800 meters, the 88mm armor-piercing projectile was able to fly over the battlefield in just two seconds. One round of the second round of artillery was slightly off and landed on the side of the track of the t-34, while the other hit the target with great hope. Although the shot was the thickest front position of the t-34 armor, the powerful force still tore through the steel plate and drilled into the inside of the tank...

Seeing the third Soviet tank being killed, Lin En suddenly felt refreshed. He even felt like the referee in a football game now, and the position and angle of the game were incomparable to any luxurious private room.

Obviously, high-level officers would never be able to lie in the middle of the battlefield to watch the battle.

After the two rounds of artillery of the Tiger tank, the distance between the two sides was almost 1,200 meters, and the battle situation became fierce. On the Soviet side, the remaining 11 T-34 fired intensively without hesitation of ammunition, and the soldiers behind also began to fire at the German array with artillery towed by trucks. The area where the German armored group was located was soon filled with smoke and dust generated by the explosion of shells. One or two of them seemed to hit the Tiger tank, but none of them directly broke the two steel beasts painted with gray-white camouflage and black and white iron cross marks.

Bad. On the German side, five other tanks, besides the Tiger style, also started firing one after another. Judging from the landing point of the shells, the shooting skills of the German armored soldiers were indeed impeccable. Of course, as far as Linn read, the optical aiming equipment of German tanks was also better than that of the Soviet army. The factors of man and technology were superimposed, and 2 of the five shells hit directly, one of which directly exploded the Soviet tank, and the other three shots destroyed the T-34 track, and the other three shots basically fell within three meters of the Soviet tank.

The progress of the battle situation was extremely unfavorable to the Soviet side. The few small and medium-caliber infantry artillery were not helpful, and the remaining T-34 finally stopped moving forward. Under the leadership of the vanguard tanks, they stopped and adjusted to reverse gear. During the retreat, they always kept the vehicle and the turret facing the Germans, and conducted short stops from time to time, but the shooting effect was not good for cover purposes. After two more rounds of shooting and destroying a T-34, the German tanks also stopped shooting and slowed down. The two sides tacitly broke away from fire contact. The T-34s kept retreating across the hills and eventually disappeared from sight, leaving only 6 damaged or injured tank wreckage and the bodies of less than 20 Soviet soldiers - this was only a small part of the Soviet torrent that broke through the German defense line this morning.

Supporting the "butcher", Lin En looked back at the road he had walked, and there were dozens of German officers and soldiers scattered on the ground. Thinking of the journey of panic and despair, he suddenly felt like he was a different world...
