At dusk in summer, outside a German village that was so ordinary that it was difficult to attract the attention of passers-by, the rumbling sounds from far to near, highlighting the strange silence inside and outside the village. At the intersection of the village, several large pits were blown out of the asphalt road, and vehicles could only bypass the passage. The fields around the intersection were bumpy, as if they had just been deliberately plowed. The simple wooden sign at the intersection was written in German in white paint: "Go to Rostock 57 kilometers."

To the east of the village, tracked chariots painted with gray-brown camouflage are the source of mechanical noise. They set out their V-shaped combat formations early, and the combat infantry stayed on the side of the turret and the rear body made up for the lack of tank observation perspective with their own eyes. The self-propelled vehicles carrying artillery had already pointed the muzzle at the village. Just when the ambushers appeared, they could bombard their hiding places with fierce artillery fire. On the further road, vehicles carrying infantry and ammunition equipment lined up in a loose long row. A large number of warning teams had occupied the hills and forks around the road, and used the highest level of alert to closely monitor the woods, rivers, farmlands, and mountains. In the sky, groups of fighter jets and attack aircraft whizzed by in a hurry, providing support to those ground forces that were in hard battle.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Without any warning, the sound of a cold arrow broke through the air, and the sound instantly turned from thin to dense. Rockets dragged clear tail smoke from above the village, and the scene was spectacular. The attacked party had no way to resist or hide, and the subsequent explosions enveloped the road area east of the village. Through the flames, the gray-brown painted tanks were seen moving forward, trying to use their barbaric impact to kill the despicable attackers. In a blink of an eye, they rushed out of the explosion area with unstoppable momentum, and some brave combat infantrymen could do so.

In order to continue to fight with our own tanks. As a result of the experience and lessons learned on the battlefield, the Soviet tankers who drove these tanks gave up the seemingly most direct route and drove their chariots to leave the right path and enter the open fields. The powerful steel chariots ran on the mud, and the mud raised from the tracks drew a harmonious arc in the air. The traces of these tanks passed by formed another beautiful arc. The front of their cars and the muzzle finally pointed to the village: Since the rockets came from the west of the village, as long as the buildings in the village were captured or destroyed, the enemy would inevitably escape on the spot.

Dong! Dong! The thunderous roar overwhelmed all the noise on the battlefield, and was on the edge of the area where the explosions were one after another. Several Soviet chariots carrying 152mm heavy artillery opened fire through the gaps of smoke and dust. The powerful shells fell into the village accurately. The wooden and stone farmhouse collapsed instantly, the smoke rose, and the earth trembled, showing the mighty spirit of the unbeaten lion! Such shelling was like a war drum, urging the soldiers to move forward bravely. The group of tanks quickly crossed the ditches that irrigated the farmland, and the rapidly rotating tracks could crush the village in a blink of an eye. As the distance was approaching, the tankers noticed that there were many pits in the fields close to the village, and the shallow piles from their edges

Judging from the soil, these pits are neither large nor deep, and are somewhat similar to the craters caused by the mother-child aviation bombs. However, the area they spread and the location they appeared were suspicious. The Soviet tank commander issued a detour order to each vehicle with radio. Although it seemed to be far away on the road, for safety reasons, the Soviet tankers still carried out the orders without fail. The war-tested T-34/85 tanks maintained a faster travel speed. Some chariot leaders leaned outside, carrying a 12.7mm heavy machine gun ready to fire at any time, and the combat infantry also held the submachine gun in their hands tightly so that they could swing their hammers and hit hard as soon as the gophers drilled out of the pit.

Since these pits almost surrounded the village to the east, Soviet tanks could only try to bypass them as much as possible and could not be completely avoided. When passing by some pits, tankers and combat infantry curiously observed these shallow pits that were not like hand-digged. They were still a clear distance from the specifications of the fox pits. They could basically only accommodate adults lying on their side in a curled manner. Looking around, there was no trace of the hundreds of pits, and none of the tanks passing by nearby were attacked or mines. Judging from the situation, the German troops inserted into this area had not had time to build complete combat fortifications, and the Soviet self-propelled artillery that was put into counterattack was gradually controlling the situation, and the enemy's rocket attacks were also calming down. Maybe those German vehicles carrying rocket launchers were already running wildly.

A dull buzzing sound came from the air, and dozens of Il-2 attack aircraft flew from the east under the cover of four fighters. However, the reinforcement calls they responded to were not the Soviet troops that were bombarded here. In the eyes of the Soviet officers and soldiers, these war eagles, which were rare for most of the time, flew straight over their heads, without any hesitation in their distant posture.

The Soviet Air Force had no time to take care of this battlefield. The Germans did not intend to give in. Just as half of the tanks crossed the fork in the east of the village and approached the edge of the village, the gopher wearing a camouflage helmet with big ears came out of the hole. For this long-planned ambush, they obviously made careful arrangements. The careful disguise in the pit was concealed, and even the Soviet soldiers passing by did not find any abnormalities. As the battle began, the German soldiers unveiled their disguises and entered the battle, firing anti-tank rockets at Soviet tanks from dozens of meters or even dozens of meters away. "Iron Fist", "Tank Killer" and even "Bazouka" went into battle, while other soldiers hunted with assault rifles and submachine guns.

The combat infantry on the Soviet tanks. The dense gunshots, explosions and the whistle of various rocket launchers were gathered into pieces. It was difficult to distinguish based on ordinary people's hearing alone. Although the Soviet tanks trapped in the battle formation had thick armor and strengthened their weak parts as much as possible, they were like warriors who fell into the snake's hole. The sharp long swords could not show their power. The shiny armor could not protect every part of the body from the fangs and venom of the poisonous snake. In just a few minutes, the energetic Soviet tank group turned into piles of unmovable steel and even burning fireballs. No one who left the tank and the accompanying combat infantry were spared!

The Soviet self-propelled artillery group in the distance was not helpful at all for the battle outside the village. The infantry were still cleaning up the mess for the artillery attacks. The deteriorating traffic caused them to be willing to kill the tank troops but were not strong enough. They could only watch the German infantry who had succeeded in the ambushing from the telescope to retreat into the village. In the face of the sudden artillery and ambush of the enemy, the Soviet army lost more than 30 tanks and a considerable number of transport vehicles. The combat troops were frustrated, but this did not completely stop them from advancing westward. More than 20 minutes later, a team of tanks replaced the previous regiment destroyed.

Friends became the front line of the column, and several groups of fighter jets and attack aircraft also came to bomb the German villages adjacent to the fork of the road. More than half an hour later, Soviet tanks rumbled through the ruins of the village, and the combat warning team was deployed to protect the combat and transport vehicles of the mechanized troops to continue to complete this difficult and abnormal journey. However, they failed to walk 10 kilometers smoothly. A similar scene appeared at the next fork. This time, the German ambush was based on a canal that irrigated farmland, and used many x-7d guided anti-tank rockets with long range...

The Soviet troops stopped and moved slowly on the way. The Soviet troops in the encirclement had been plagued by German artillery attacks for several hours. In Mecklenburg-Fore Pomorie State, the Soviet Air Force had the advantage, but the frequent attacks of German jet fighters made them unable to hold up airtight protective umbrellas over the encirclement. The Soviet attack aircraft sent to bomb German artillery were repeatedly attacked by old German fighters and ground-air rockets. More than 40 were shot down in less than a day. The heavy losses forced the Soviet command to re-send fighter jets to hang out, and such air strikes were not enough to curb German mobile firepower.

Battle Operation. On the periphery of the encirclement, the German army had quietly assembled more than 300,000 troops. In addition to blocking and delaying the Soviet support force, about 200,000 offensive troops were fully prepared for the next night battle after a day's revitalization. With the slow arrival of night, the situation on the battlefield was undergoing irreversible changes. In many battles of the Eastern and Western camps and even World War II, the Soviet army's night battle performance was better than that of its opponents. For several years, their officers and soldiers had not deteriorated in terms of combat quality and weapons and equipment. The reason why they became the weaker side of the night battle here was only because they stepped on German territory with their feet!

After the night battle began, the German armed forces used the elite tank battalion of the Imperial Guards as sharp swords to attack parts of the Soviet defense line. The SS-style brave offensive quickly tore open two holes on the temporary defense line established by the Soviet army. After the infantry attacked the Soviet defending area, they were once counterattacked by the Soviet tank mobile troops. The heavy casualties did not shake the German soldiers' determination to fight. They bravely made up for the quality disadvantage with their numerical advantage, and with a large number of individual anti-tank weapons, they destroyed Soviet tanks. As the battle progressed, the combat effectiveness of the besieged Soviet army was affected by oil and ammunition supply.

There was a decline, and the crumbling defense line was full of loopholes. In order to avoid the entire army being wiped out, some tank troops were concentrated by the Soviet army to break east. In the area east of Tribses, they were only more than ten kilometers away from reinforcements, but this only 10,000 meters became the turning point of the decline of the Red Empire. In the decisive blocking battle, the ace tank destroyer of the Imperial Guards defeated the elite Soviet tank troops with the No. 3 assault guns equipped with infrared night vision instruments and hunters, covering their infantry to complete a refreshing night battle and massacre, causing hundreds of Soviet soldiers to sprinkle blood in a foreign land.
