Compared with the mouse tank, the Tiger tank is smaller. For example, the turret rotates faster, which means it can aim faster.

Hans soon became proficient in the operation of the Tiger tank gun. At this time, he and other Tiger tanks of the 3rd company continued to move towards the battlefield.

Their goal is the reservoir in the east of the city.

It was the water source of the whole city. If they occupied it, all the defenders would die of thirst. After Hans put forward this idea, with the strong support of lieutenant general Nikolay sopika, he sent the 7th infantry division to push all the way towards the reservoir with the help of German tanks.

The offensive intention of the Romanian army was soon discovered by the defenders, so the defenders also set many obstacles in the blocks where they moved forward.

The fierce battle is going on continuously.

"Boom!" With the huge roar, the tank body trembled, and the turret was full of gunsmoke. The smoking device of the turret was running at full power. After more than ten seconds, everything could be seen in the turret again.

"The target has been destroyed and can move on." Said zweidi.

Although Germany did not hold any military exercises with Romania in the past, the cooperation between the two sides has been quite tacit in the battle.

Romanian soldiers, right next to the tanks, moved forward to protect German tanks from Soviet anti tank hands. At the same time, the tanks were clearing the fire points in front of them and providing them with fire support.

Now, the tank cleared a machine gun fire point in front, and the Romanian soldiers rushed forward immediately.

They avoided the forward route of the tank, although there was little joint training, and there was no accident such as rolling.

"Boom!" Just then, suddenly, there was a violent explosion among Romanian soldiers. Suddenly, several soldiers screamed and were blown up.

Zweidi quickly looked for the target through the front observation port, while the explosion continued.

"At nine o'clock, there are Soviet mortars!" Cried zweidi.

The turret turned, and Hans saw clearly in his sight that a curved shell was flying out just behind a building.

On this building, a huge red cross sign is painted.

OSAD urban third hospital.

Mortar is solid and durable, high quality and low price, powerful firepower and easy to learn and use. For the Soviets who advocate artillery firepower, they have produced a large number of such weapons. During World War II in history, the Soviet Army produced 348000 mortars, which is one of the main firepower suppression weapons.

To sum up, mortars are powerful and low-cost infantry weapons. Compared with linear guns, their barrel is very thin, so they are quite light, and can quickly throw high-efficiency ammunition at a short distance.

During World War I, various mortars were used, but most countries only used light mortars up to 82 mm.

The Soviet Union, which always liked to brush the caliber, soon aimed at this cheap and powerful weapon. They designed a 120mm mortar heavy mortar - M1938.

The advantages of this gun are obvious. It is nine times lighter than the 122 mm howitzer and one 22nd of the weight of the 122 mm gun. Moreover, the high firing speed and the ability to hit covered targets make it an effective weapon against enemy personnel.

Now, a group of mortar infantry squad is hiding behind the building and fiercely firing their own shells. They have calculated the trajectory in advance. When the Romanians pass by, they will fire immediately!

"Boom!" Another shell exploded. This time, the shell of this heavy mortar landed two meters away from the Tiger tank. The huge explosion airflow made several people inside the tank numb.

The opponent is very cunning.

Mortar is a curved weapon with a rather curved trajectory, which can be fired from behind the building, but the tank gun is a direct weapon. Now, the 88mm tank gun has great power, but it can not directly hit the enemy hiding behind the building.

In particular, the other party is still hiding behind the hospital building!

In theory, if the Soviet Union did not sign the Geneva Agreement, there was no need to abide by various battlefield conventions, give preferential treatment to their prisoners, and start on targets such as hospitals. However, in fact, the German army has always adhered to battlefield conventions since the war.

After all, Germany is the winning party. Only the enemy who is about to lose will make a crazy counterattack before he dies, regardless of the constraints of various conventions.

Germany did not indiscriminately kill prisoners of war or attack civilian targets, but now the Soviets hide behind the hospital and attack their own side!

"Turn the turret and rush over!" Zweidi gave orders.

Although Germany has never broken the Convention, it does not mean that the German forces will be tied up. Since the Soviets first used civilian targets, especially hospitals as bunkers, don't blame their own impoliteness!

Hans turned the turret and the barrel back. At the same time, he was ready to bear the impact. Of course, he knew what zweidi's orders meant.

Bypass the building? This will waste time. What's more terrible is that if the other party lays a trap here, it will certainly lay mines on the detour channels on both sides and blow up its own tracks.

Therefore, we must be surprised. Of course, we must hit the building directly and appear behind them!

The driver in front lowered the gear and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The 730 HP diesel engine made a rumble and turned at a high speed at 2200 rpm. The huge torque was transmitted to the crawler through the driving wheel. The tank rushed hard towards the hospital building!

In the front of the hospital building, there is a gate. If you go in from the gate, you can go in directly without impact. However, the driver did not do so. Instead, he hit the place with the window more than ten meters to the right of the gate.

In an instant, the people in the building were in a panic.

For the Soviet Union, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the saying that all the people are soldiers. This is a national war. Everyone has to be a soldier. As long as you give an order, you have to take up arms and go to the battlefield. If you don't go, you will be shot immediately.

Now, the hospital here originally belongs to the war safety zone. These days, even Romanian planes have avoided this area. However, the soldiers of the Red Navy have set up a good trap here, waiting for German tanks to take the bait.

They use heavy mortars to attract each other's attention and let each other come. No matter around both sides of the building or through the hall in the middle of the building, they will be blown up by anti tank mines. After that, they can rush up and kill the German tankers.

As long as these tanks are killed, the Romanian attack will slow down.

Who would have thought that the Germans did not play cards according to common sense and bumped over from the corner!
