"Division commander, there are a large number of tanks ahead, attacking us!" Felix frowned at the news.

After the impact, the tank troops of our side consumed about a quarter of their fuel and about 10 rounds of ammunition. They still have combat effectiveness. Moreover, the morale of our side's army is booming, and it is said that they can continue to charge.

However, if the other side has too many tanks, it will be different. If it is surrounded by the other side's tank sea and its own tanks run out of ammunition, it will still be very troublesome.

You can't underestimate the enemy at this time.

But now, retreating is also not a good choice. If retreating, the other party's tanks will rush up and encircle their own side. This is a dilemma. At this time, of course, only the brave will win!

"Division commander, our hs-129 attack aircraft will arrive in 20 minutes." Just then, a new news came, which strengthened Felix's confidence.

It is no problem for our own tank forces to persist for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the tank openers overhead can bring a terrible end to the other party's tank forces.

"Order the troops in front of us to maintain the attack formation and prepare for the huge Soviet tank forces!" Felix finally made up his mind.

German tank soldiers have not been afraid of anything!

At the same time, the Soviet tank soldiers opposite at this time were also magnificent.

The 22nd Soviet mechanized army, a will mechanized army under the Kiev military region, finally arrived on the battlefield at this critical time.

At the same time, they also knew that there was a tank war ahead, so they became a battle formation on the March.

The 22nd mechanized army includes the 19th and 41st tank divisions, the 215th mechanized division and the 23rd mechanized regiment. Now, the tank troops of the two tank divisions have set up a wide offensive surface on the field.

Although it is a little messy, it is roughly arranged according to a tank of 50 meters. A hundred tanks have spread out for five kilometers, and there are seven rows of such tanks!

Yes, they have more than 700 tanks, which are advancing towards the German tank forces. In contrast, the more than 100 tanks opposite are drizzling.

In history, when the Barbarosa plan began, although the Soviet Union had tens of thousands of tanks, the number of advanced T-34 and kV tanks was only one thousand, but now great changes have taken place.

When the German tank troops galloped across Europe, the Soviet Union had long been nervous. T-34 tanks and kV tanks were carrying out a large number of production and equipment. Now, there are almost more than 300 in the 22nd mechanized army. It can be said that the first three rows are almost such goods.

In the front row, there are more than 80 kv-2 tanks, mixed with 20 Stalin tanks. In the middle two rows, there are all the same T-34. In the back, there are some early equipped T-26 and BT series tanks.

The more advanced Stalin tanks were not equipped in their troops. Now these tanks are quite powerful.

Especially those kv-2 tanks with big heads and toilet heads!

Now, modlin hasn't paid special attention to those Stalin tanks. Looking from 2000 meters away, the toilet head is still particularly dazzling. From this point of view, those Stalin tanks seem to be similar to T-34. They are round turrets.

"Attention, use sub caliber armor piercing bullets. We'll kill them at a long distance!" Maudlin shouted on the radio, "aim at the toilet heads first!"

Pzgr.40 caliber tungsten core armor piercing projectile, which is the code name of armor piercing projectile in history, is the latest tungsten carbide armor piercing projectile developed by Germany, and the penetration depth is quite amazing.

However, this sub caliber is not a shell piercing projectile, but a layer of soft material is coated outside the core. Now, the code name of this armor piercing projectile has been given to the newly produced shell piercing projectile.

The performance of this armor piercing projectile is quite advanced. Each tank carries about five. After all, it is expensive and can't be used casually. Now, we can finally take out our own housekeeping magic weapon!

Not only the Tiger tanks, but also the Panther 3 tanks in the bell formation are equipped with a certain number of shelling and armor piercing bullets. Anyway, their tank guns have the same caliber and can be used in general.

The bell shaped tank formation continued to move forward. In the galloping chariot, the loader steadily stuffed the armor piercing ammunition into the gun chamber and shouted: "sub caliber armor piercing ammunition, loading is over!"

"Attention, fire at a distance of one kilometer!"

In fact, even at a distance of 2000 meters, German armor piercing bombs have enough penetration depth, but now both sides are moving at high speed. In order to ensure sufficient attack accuracy, they must put them at a distance of one kilometer.

In general, the Soviet tank guns have enough accuracy only at a distance of 500 meters. Almost all shells fly away from 500 meters. It's definitely bad luck to hit the tank.

However, what the German tank soldiers did not expect was that the Soviets fired earlier!

"Attention, two thousand meters, fire!"

Soviet tanks were separated from each other by a large distance, so that when they were firing, they needed to stop, which would not affect the movement of the tanks behind them.

Now, kv-2 tank suddenly stopped at a distance of 2000 meters. Then, with a bang, a black smoke came out of the muzzle, and a 152 mm grenade flew out of the muzzle and shot towards the German tank formation here!

What happened to the Soviets? Is this stupid?

Looking at the black smoke from the gun barrel of the Soviet tank force opposite, the German tank soldiers here are surprised. For their guns, I'm afraid the error can reach ten meters at this distance. Can they hurt their own side?

"Boom!" Sure enough, a 152 mm grenade exploded in the open space more than 20 meters outside the bell formation, raising dust several meters high, causing German tank soldiers to hiss on the radio.

The Soviets are wasting their shells! They didn't carry many large caliber shells, but now they have to consume them like this!

"Boom!" Just then, another shell suddenly fell into the inside of the bell tank formation, and almost hit the front of the left track of a panther 3 tank on the right side of the formation.

"Hua la la..." the track was blown off, and the driver of the tank didn't react for the time being. When he felt that the tank began to turn, he realized that there was a problem and pulled the brake urgently.
