When Comrade Popov was preparing to fulfill his oath to the party flag with his blood and life, outside a small town named Izbica on the north bank of the Vistula River, Major General Hassor Ekard von Mandofir, the commander-in-chief of the "Mandofir Cavalry Cluster", was planning the strength of the armored soldiers in their hands with his two deputy, the new commander of the 8th Cavalry Division of the SS, and Lieutenant General Demay Stoyay, the commander of the Hungarian Mechanized Army.

Their strength is still a little bit. Because this time and space control the Middle East and North Africa, it barely opens up maritime transportation with Japan and South America. Therefore, the industries of the European Community countries led by Germany are no longer troubled by resource bottlenecks and have been fully utilized.

Therefore, all units of the German Army have a very rich armored vehicle organization, and the 1st Cavalry Division of the National Wehrmacht Army and the 8th Cavalry Division of the SS are no exception. The two divisions have a total of 12 companies equipped with No. 3 assault guns, and a total of 72 No. 3 assault guns with strong firepower.

In addition, the two German cavalry divisions also have 12 anti-tank companies, with 96 75mm anti-tank guns pulled by SD.kz.251 half-track light armored vehicles. Although these anti-tank guns are towed, they have certain maneuverability in the front line because the half-track vehicles towed them have certain armor and have good off-road performance.

In addition, the 1st Hungarian "Maria Theresa" tank brigade, commanded by Lieutenant General Demay Stoyai of the Royal Army of the United Kingdom of Croatia and Hungary, is now temporarily under the command of the "Mandofir Cavalry Cluster".

In this time and space, Otto von Habsburg of the Habsburg dynasty became the king of the United Kingdom of K-Hungary and brought many Austrian capitalists to invest in Hungary. Croatia formed a united state with Hungary. The financial, material and industrial strength of the United Kingdom of K-Hungary naturally far exceeded that of the original Hungary.

Therefore, the "Maria Theresa" tank brigade is also very well organized. It has the 1st and 2nd Hungarian tank battalions, which imitates the German tank battalion, equipped with 88 Tulang 1 medium tanks and 88 Torthi light tanks.

Although both tanks are somewhat lacking in strength and cannot beat the Soviet T-34 and KV-2, the Tulang 1 is not small in size, with a total combat weight of 18.2 tons, which looks very powerful. Moreover, the paint of these Hungarian tanks is very similar to that of German tanks. The emblem on the tank is black and white, and from a distance it looks like a German iron cross.

"We now have 70 No. 3 tanks that can be activated, 78 Tulang 1 tanks and 80 Torthi tanks. There are a total of 228 tanks/assault guns, which are almost the strength of an armored division, so we should not just defend."

Mandofir held a temporary combat meeting with Hitler's future brother-in-law Colonel Ferglein and Hungarian Demay Stoyay on his half-track armored vehicle.

"No defense? Do you want to attack?" Hungarian general Demay Stoyay turned out to be an officer of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He spoke very fluent German and had no difficulty in communicating with the two Germans. After hearing Mandofir's words, he immediately shook his head and said, "General, our Tulang Type 1 tank and Torti light tank are not strong enough and cannot be used as No. 4 tanks."

"It's no problem," Mandofir shook his head and said with a smile. "No. 4 has a No. 4 play, and the Torthi light tank has a No. 4 play. And we have 70 No. 3s (2 have broken down) and 96 75mm anti-tank guns, which are enough to destroy the entire Soviet tank army!"

"General, what do you mean is... use the Torthy light tank to lure the enemy?" The Hungarian Lieutenant General already understood what Mandofir meant, "But the Soviet T-34 tank and KV-1 tank will destroy all our Torthy light tanks!"

"Oh, in fact, they are unlikely to destroy too many Torthi light tanks." Feiglein, the commander of the 8th Cavalry Division of the SS, smiled contemptuously and took over the question, "We seized a lot of T-34 and KV-1 in the last Legionovo-Vovomin battle, and tested them and had mastered the performance of these two tanks. They were not as fast as the Torthi light tanks, and although the firepower was strong, the artillery used was not accurate enough.

Moreover, the guns of Soviet tanks are difficult to operate and do not have good sights, so it is difficult to hit the target 1,000 meters away. Therefore, your tank only needs to maintain a distance of more than 1,000 meters from the Soviet tank cluster to introduce them into our ambush circle. Our No. 3 assault gun and the Pak40 75mm gun are both very low in height and are easy to hide. They are both good guys who ambush!

In addition, Soviet tanks have a fatal weakness. Only command tanks have radio stations. Most tanks do not have radio stations, so they cannot get orders from superiors in time. This weakness is quite fatal when they encounter ambush."

...

"Bang, bang..."

Two loud noises reached the ears of Michel Weitman, the leader of the 1st platoon of the 2nd Company of the 502 Heavy Armored Battalion. Although he was wearing headphones, the sound still made his ears buzz. At the same time, the entire tank's body shook violently twice. The experienced Lieuteman Weitman soon realized that his tank was hit by an anti-tank shell!

"Ambushes! There is an ambush! Car No. 11 of the 2nd Company was attacked!" While using a telephone to tell other vehicles chasing Soviet T-34 tanks with him, he searched around using the captain's circumference mirror.

He saw a large field of wheat around him, and the crops were growing well, but they still could not cover the tall bodies of T-34 and KV-1. There was a small Polish village about 2,000 meters away, where there might be Soviet troops, but it was impossible for the shells attacking Tiger tanks to be companyed from there. The Soviet anti-tank guns were probably not so accurate, and their anti-tank guns were insufficient. They might not even be able to wear the armor of the No. 3 tanks at 2,000 meters away. The brains were broken when they used to fight Tiger tanks.

"Bang!"

There was another loud bang, and Weitman felt his tank shake again, and obviously another shell was hit. This time Weitman saw the muzzle flame, which was emitted from the wheat field more than 600 meters ahead.

Weitman immediately understood what was going on. Obviously, this was an anti-tank gun ambushed in the wheat field! The Soviets set up a trap for their armored cluster. The T-34 tanks that retreated immediately after contact 45 minutes ago were actually bait, and the purpose was to lure the tiger tank into the ambush circle of the anti-tank gun.

However, the Soviets' strategies were obviously not all successful. Their anti-tank guns were unable to penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger tank within 300 meters, but Weitmann still did not dare to take it lightly.

"Stop! Carl! Stop!" Weitman shouted. He quickly felt his tank stop, so he gave an order to the gunner, "Adolf, 11 o'clock, 280 meters, anti-tank gun!"

"Boom!" Weitmann's order had just been issued, and he felt his tank slightly sway, but his car did not fire. He quickly observed through the head mirror and found that a ball of flames rose from the wheat field at 2 o'clock in the front right.

And this flame actually rose from the top of a Tiger tank!

Obviously, a powerful Tiger tank was destroyed by the Soviets with anti-tank cannons!

Weitman was immediately shocked and sweated. The Tiger tank could actually be destroyed. Moreover, his car had just been hit by two shells. For some reason, he realized that the one who fired at his car was a 76.2mm cannon, while the one who destroyed the Tiger tank was a 57mm anti-tank gun with an ultra-long gun barrel.

"Boom!" Another loud bang, Weitmann felt his tank vibrate violently, and he knew that it was the tank firing. He quickly observed through the Zhou Vision Glass and found a large pit in the wheat field ahead, with some metal fragments and human corpses scattered around.

Finally killed an anti-tank gun! Second Lieutenant Weitman breathed a sigh of relief and was about to push the top hatch of the tank and to find out if there were any other anti-tank guns in the surrounding wheat fields. The voice of Major Charlie Demark, the commander of the 502nd Battalion, came from the headphones.

"All people are on the verge of fire. The 502nd Battalion is reversing 500 meters, and immediately reversing!"

...

Boom boom boom boom...

Looking forward from the village where Major General Popov, the commander of the 10th Soviet Army, was located, there was a column of smoke in front of him. His face, which was originally showing some joy, became extremely solemn with the explosion of 105mm shells.

The tactics of T-34 seducing the enemy and anti-tank ambush he designed were obviously successful. After paying the price of more than twenty T-34s being destroyed, the German tank cluster was finally led to the muzzle of the zis-2 anti-tank. At least 6 German heavy tanks were destroyed by the zis-2 anti-tank gun at a close range within 300 meters!

However, there were too few zis-2 anti-tank guns, and only one army had 16. As a last resort, Popov could only use some zis-3 cannons to make up for the numbers and try his luck. Unexpectedly, this 76.2mm cannon could not do anything to German heavy tanks at such a close distance.

The reaction speed of the German tank cluster was beyond Popov's expectations. Just now, several heavy tanks were destroyed, and the rest of the tanks immediately reversed collectively, widening the distance between Soviet anti-tank guns. Almost at the same time, their self-propelled artillery and assault guns also started, and a blast of bombing covered all the hidden positions of Soviet anti-tank guns.
