.The protection capability is even better. The Soviet tanks were not only unable to penetrate their fronts, but even the flank armor was not the Soviet 76.2 kwk36l/53 tank gun. When using capped armor-piercing shells (pzgr39), they can penetrate 100 thick at a distance of 1,000 meters (50 probability) and place a homogeneous steel plate at a 30-degree angle. If a high-speed armor-piercing shell with tungsten core is used, then a homogeneous steel plate at a distance of 1,000 meters can be penetrated 138 thick and place a homogeneous steel plate at a distance of 30 degrees. There is almost no known front armor of tanks/assault cannons with the ability to reach the tiger type.

It can be said that in addition to the lack of mobility and the number of various minor failures, the Tiger tank is a very ideal tank.

However, these are all data on paper. What is the Tiger tank like? It still needs to be tested through actual combat.

"Major Rudel, the Soviet tanks are still moving forward, and they seem to be going around our left wing." The voice of Major Bernhard Schwant, the commander of the 505th Battalion, came from the headphones. The 1st Company of the 505th Battalion is also a Tiger Tank Company, deployed on the left wing of the 1st Company of the 501st Battalion. If the 1st Tank Brigade of the Soviet Union circles over the left wing of the 1st Battalion of the 505th Battalion, it can attack the entire Steiner cluster.

"Sir, you can't let them go around. Go around is the position of three smoke launchers," Captain Von Nordell immediately reminded Major Rudel, "so we must attack!"

Originally, 55 Tiger tanks were planned to ambush the Soviet tanks, but the Soviet tanks circled in a big circle, not as if they were going to attack the German flanks, but instead seemed to be going to hit the Germans' butts.

Major Rudel quickly made a decision, "The 1st Company of the 501st Battalion, the 1st Company of the 505th Battalion, and the 1st Company of the 503rd Battalion (actually only 11 tiger-style vehicles with half a company), the SS'Finland' Armored Grenadier Battalion followed me, and the other troops stayed to continue to guard the defense line."

The 55 Tiger tanks started and were very moving. Colonel Qiu Xin, who was commanding the 1st Tank Brigade of the Soviet Union, was soon reported.

"Does of tanks? That's great, the Nazis were fooled." Colonel Qiu Xin said happily.

It turned out that Major General Sokarov, the commander of the 16th Mechanized Army, had expected that the German armored troops would arrange tank troops to guard on their side. If the 1st Tank Brigade rushed hard, it would probably suffer heavy losses. So Sokarov played a clever trick and asked the 1st Tank Brigade to detour for a longer period of time and pretended to fight a big encirclement, so that the German tanks could be drawn out to fight.

"Battalion commanders of each tank battalion, please pay attention to the company commander of the tank company," Colonel Qiu Xin used the T-34 to command the radio station on the tank to issue an order to the battalion commander of the 1st Tank Brigade, "All companies turn left, charge in formation, and fight against Nazi tanks! Comrades, for the cause of GCism, attack!"

"Ula!"

A cheer of "Ula" sounded in Colonel Qiu Xin's headphones, and the comrades answered him. Then all the T-34 tanks turned into a short time, from a marching column in a company to the simplest offensive strait, and then rushed to launch a fearless charge towards the German Tiger tanks.

The tanks that Colonel Qiu Xin were riding and several other tanks belonging to the brigade company were marching at the charge T-34 tanks at the end. Qiu Xin looked at the back of the hazy T-34 tank under the night, and was extremely excited. Although the German tanks all had strong firepower, it was now at night with poor visibility, and hitting targets 1,000 meters away is very difficult. It would be great to hit 300-500 meters with the help of flares.

This distance is just a blink of an eye for the t-34. Once the t-34 and the German tank are brought close to each other to start a melee, the t-34 can be completely defeated by its advantages in quantity and mobility.

As long as these dozens of tanks are eliminated, the flanks of the German armored cluster will be completely exposed! The victory at Vovomin during the day will be repeated in Legionovo.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Several flares were shot out by Soviet infantry following the T-34 tank with mortars. In a blink of an eye, they exploded over the German tank group, emitting a pale white light, illuminating the magnificent body of the tiger tank.

"Oh my God, what kind of tank is this?" Colonel Qiu Xin was shocked by the German tanks in front of him.

This is not a tank No. 4! Not only is it big and I don’t know how much it is, but it also has tilted armor similar to the T-34, as if it is an enlarged version of the T-34 tank...

German tanks lined up in a standard combat formation, with the two companies of Tiger tanks separated left and right, with a distance of dozens of meters between them, forming two charge clusters. Behind the two charge clusters is the Tiger Cell of half a company, which is arranged in a horizontal formation, and then there is the battalion headquarters of the 501st Battalion, and finally there are 6 No. 3 assault guns acting as rear guards.

Two German tank companies advancing side by side stopped less than 500 meters away from the Soviet T-34 tanks. Then six No. 3 assault guns that were pressing the formation of flares were fired and pointed out the targets to 44 Tiger tanks. Then these Tiger tanks fired a beautiful volley, and 44 rounds of capped armor-piercing bombs roared through the air, and a fireball exploded in the charge formation of the Soviet tanks.

These tank soldiers who operate Tiger tanks are all elites among the elites. Although they are now at night, they can still use the flares to hit a very high hit rate. Eighteen T-34 tanks were shot in response. The ordinary 88-34 can withstand. The turret shield and frontal armor that the shells easily penetrated and exploded inside the vehicle body, instantly turning the seemingly indestructible T-34 tank into a huge burning fireball.

But far beyond the expectations of the German tank soldiers, these brave Bolshevik tank soldiers were not intimidated by the sudden appearance of huge tanks and 88 tank guns, and still drove at full speed to charge towards the German tanks. They seemed to want to rush to the tiger tanks and knock on the thick "tiger skin" with a 76.2 cannon at close range.

However, the Tiger tank main gun fired quickly and accurately, which quickly made the brave Soviet Bolshevik soldiers pay a heavy price. The second, third and fourth rounds of tank gun shootings started in a blink of an eye, and the t-34 charging on the battlefield turned into burning fire cabinets one after another.

The glorious 1st Tank Brigade of the Red Army suffered an unprecedented heavy blow tonight!
