Open anti-aircraft guns are not self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the full sense. In fact, they are only equipped with two legs, and there is no closed turret, but after all, they can also provide a way to accompany tank troops

Now, the gun barrel of the self-propelled antiaircraft gun is rapidly raised, and the self-propelled antiaircraft gun that stopped on the spot is rapidly entering the combat state. The monitor of the artillery squad stands at the back, straightens his body, observes the sky with a telescope, and wants to provide target instructions for his antiaircraft gun.

But it's no use. They can't see each other's plane. They can only hear the sound.

Why?

The other party must know that his own side has anti-aircraft guns, so he deliberately adopts this extremely rogue way. Their planes fly in the nearby valley. His own side is a blind area. Once they appear, it is a matter of a blink of an eye. When his own side is not ready to fire, he will drop a bomb to escape!

Yes, it must be!

The Soviet anti-aircraft artillery soldiers were extremely nervous at this time. Their hands were shaking the high-low plane and the direction plane quickly. Listening to the sound of the plane and the direction of the plane, they quickly turned around. Only in this way can they start fire at the moment of each other's appearance!

The sound of the plane was getting closer and closer, and everyone's heart beat faster. They knew that the battle would suddenly start.

"Boom, boom!" Just then, there was an explosion in the distance, but they didn't see the enemy plane!

What's going on?

The monitor of the artillery squad suddenly found that his side had made a serious mistake. In the mountains, there was an echo. Just now they aimed in the opposite direction!

When they turned their anti-aircraft guns, they saw only a few planes with inverted seagull wings, which had flapped their wings and wanted to fly away from them.

"Our tanks were not attacked. They hit the truck behind us." There was a report on the radio.

Varisiev's heart relaxed for a while, and then he became nervous again. What, it was the truck behind his side? Those are our own supplies!

Both T-34 and KV-1 are diesel engines, which are more fuel-efficient, but this does not mean that they will not burn oil, especially when they operate in mountainous areas, their fuel consumption will be greater.

Now, warisiev frowned even more when he heard that the supply convoy behind was attacked. At this time, he was in the middle of the March and didn't see the situation behind. If he glanced at the place where he was attacked, he would know that the other party had a sinister intention.

"Stop stalling and move on." Said varisiev.

It's only more than 20 kilometers away from Ghazvin. It's noon now. They must arrive before dark. This damn mountain area is a nightmare.

The tank troops continued to advance. Behind them, at the mountain pass, more than a dozen oil tankers were burning, blocking the way into the mountain.

In the back, the support artillery stopped.

"Damn it!" Major Ivan jumped out of his car, looked at the burning car and said, "contact the teacher immediately. We are blocked behind!"

They drive cars and have no off-road ability. They can only walk on the road, and they dare not cross these fires.

"The 14th howitzer regiment calls division headquarters, and the 14th howitzer regiment calls division headquarters." In the command car, the radio soldier kept calling with a microphone, but there was no echo in the radio.

"They entered the mountains and the radio signal was blocked." Yakov couldn't help saying.

The short wave radio, which propagates along a straight line, is easily blocked by the mountains. Now, they have lost contact with the division headquarters!

"We should put out the fires started by these cars as soon as possible, push away the wreckage of these cars and catch up with our troops. If we wait until dark, we will be in trouble." Yakov said.

He looked at the sun and began to slide to the West. He was a little anxious. In the mountains, he was the most vulnerable to ambush. The other party's bombing was absolutely unusual!

Put out these fires? Ivan watched the flame jump out more than ten meters high. It's not easy to put it out! Proximity is dangerous. Only fire engines work. However, they are combat forces, not logistics forces. Where are fire engines!

Ivan felt helpless, and the artillery behind him jumped out of his car one after another. Some have even opened the picnic dry food and ate it. Since it is blocked, it's good to take advantage of this opportunity to have some food!

They had no idea that the danger was coming.

Time passed little by little. Looking at the flames still burning, major Ivan was a little impatient. At this time, suddenly, Yakov shouted, "God, what's that?"

In their southeast, in the distant field, black smoke rose. Needless to say, it must be tank troops! Moreover, the number will never be small!

"Come on, come on, take down the cannon and get ready for battle!" Varisiev shouted loudly.

M1938 152 mm artillery is quite bulky. Each artillery is equipped with an artillery squad of seven people. Now, they have found something and quickly turn the artillery from marching to fighting.

"Come on, come on!" The monitor shouted loudly and pulled the traction pin to separate the drawbar of the cannon from the car in front. Then, seven people shouted, pushed the cannon and turned it 90 degrees!

At this time, the black smoke in the distance is getting closer and closer. They can clearly see that those are indeed speeding tanks! Moreover, the edges and corners are clear, which is very similar to the German Panther tank!

Is it the German main armored force that has landed? This is terrible! For a moment, the Soviet tank soldiers turned pale.

"Don't be afraid, even the latest German Panther tank can't stop our guns and load armor piercing bullets!" Shouted Yakov.

What are you afraid of? Your side is an artillery!

The 152 mm howitzer, as the name suggests, is mainly used to launch howitzers, but this does not mean that it can not launch armor piercing shells. The huge caliber of this kind of artillery makes it more comfortable in fighting against armored forces.

In history, when the Soviet Union found that it could not penetrate the German Tiger tank, it immediately installed its 152 mm howitzer on the tank and beat out the su-152. Although it was ugly to hold a big head, the firepower of this weapon was insane. It could penetrate the 124 mm armor at a distance of 1000 meters. No matter what tank could not block its firepower!
