Predatory map of ominous birds

Fafnir's troops rushed all the way to their destination, and the news came from the front that "it has joined forces with the Army Group South and surrounded the Southwest Front Army in Kiev." More indifference and disgust.

After they joined the brigade, they joined the siege of the Soviet Red Army in the Kiev area. Fafnir drove the captured kv2 to crush its maker and previous user. He was very happy, watching the 150 round after round It is really a pleasant behavior for the grenade to bloom in the infantry group of the Soviet army, on the artillery positions, and on the tanks.Like the German army, the Soviet army has no good way to face the crushing KV2. When it is on its own side, it is cheering, but when it is on the enemy's side, it is really hateful.

In September, the Kiev campaign ended.Fafnir met many old friends on the battlefield. Dick Clown Carl was still in command of his No. 9 tank, even with a few more circles of death on the barrel; the big man Yang was already a squad leader, Fafnir saw this guy in the field hospital. He was stabbed in the arm by a Soviet bayonet, but he shoveled off the heads of 4 to 3 Russians with an engineer shovel; The flames were exhilarating, and it is estimated that another Ankh is waving to him; Belvegan was busy painting his beloved car No. 4 with a new death circle, and received his own battle medal like Fafnir. Vehicle Assault Chapter; Junker's No. 3 was run over by the Soviet T34, I was injured, and half of the crew members died, but fortunately, I also destroyed a few tanks, and I got the Iron Cross and the War Wound Medal; O'Brien The gunner didn't get much benefit. His 37th gun is now called a stepping stone, and no one can beat it. He is preparing to replace it with a 75mm anti-tank gun. Corporal Dornberger is still the gunner, but he follows the commander. I also picked up a Level [-], but this guy collected a lot of jewelry and tried to mail it to his girlfriend; as for Dirk, the guy who drove the No. [-] assault gun, he destroyed many artillery positions along the way. When I am full of pride.

Fafnir knew very well that the bitter battle had not yet come, and the difficult days were yet to come.Then he and his companions turned again to fight in the direction of Moscow.

Along the way, many Soviet troops resisted them resolutely. Even if there were only a few anti-tank artillery pieces, they would never retreat. They dared to set up positions to resist in front of the German steel torrent, even if it delayed the German attack for a few minutes.Fafnir and the others felt that the resistance of the Soviet army had obviously begun to increase. The Soviet army, which was beaten into chaos at the beginning, began to restore its organization. The coordinated combat capabilities of infantry, tanks, and artillery were obviously strengthened. It was no longer the German army. A unilateral massacre.

On the front lines of Belev and Mtsensk, the tank unit to which Fafnir belonged encountered a tough boss—a mixed unit of infantry and tanks of the Soviet Red Army Guards.

"Shoot!! Hurry up! Reload the armor-piercing bullets!!" Both sides in the battle shouted loudly in their own language. The Soviet Red Army had fewer tanks than Germany, but they still had the courage to attack!The battle started at 1500 meters, and the German tanks took the lead in attacking by taking advantage of the optical aiming.But the Soviet tanks were much more organized than they had been a few weeks ago, approaching the German tanks at high speed and engaged in close combat.The tank guns on the German Panzer III and Panzer IV failed again, both the 50mm AP rounds and the 75mm grenades bounced off the Soviets' thick sloping armor, and the German tanks carried limited special AP rounds, So the entire formation was smashed by the Soviet Union's t34.Fortunately, the t34 has not been in service for a long time, and the Soviet tankers are not yet proficient in operation and running-in is not enough, and often breaks down. Therefore, in the end, the German army successfully repelled the Soviet Red Army, but the loss of technical equipment was huge, and it had to stop and wait for the reserve team.

Fafnir lost his heavy tank, a captured kv2, a sluggish tank that attracted Soviet fire several times but was not broken.During the attack, the heavy tank suddenly began to smoke - the engine exploded, and the gearbox was damaged and had to be overhauled.Once again they jumped out of the tank like groundhogs, this time with less luck. Fafnir was fine, but his signalman died and a loader was injured.After he returned to the position, he had no new cars to drive, and most of the vehicles in the army had to be repaired and replenished with spare parts, especially the wheels, tracks, and gearboxes were severely worn out, and the suspension system was often faulty, so at least within a week, Their army can't afford much tank force to continue the attack.And the biggest enemy is not only the desperate resistance of the Soviet Red Army. There is a lot of rain in autumn in Russia, and the ground is muddy. Tanks often get stuck in the quagmire and must be dragged out, and the march of infantry slows down. "This damn rain! This damn quagmire!" German soldiers said the most.

A week later, Fafnir finally received a repaired Panzer IV tank e-type and re-launched the offensive.Driving slowly in the mud, you have to stop from time to time and use the winch to drag your own or friendly tanks out of the mud. The speed is much slower than before, and the fatigue level has also risen sharply. Fortunately, the Soviet army on the opposite side is the same, and their supplies. And the number of technical weapons is not as good as that of the German army.It is completely relying on strong morale to resist step by step.But after all, it couldn't resist the attack of the German army. On October 10, the Battle of Bryansk ended, and most of the Soviet army was wiped out. On October 23, Fafnir's troops broke through the Soviet defense line after a hard journey, and the whole army advanced quickly, but the Soviet Air Force in the sky launched a concentrated assault.Fafnir kept driving his tanks into the woods to avoid air strikes, and the Luftwaffe in the sky desperately strangled the Soviet Air Force flying in groups like mosquitoes, shooting them down one after another.The ground attacks of the Red Army's air force had little effect and suffered heavy losses, but they also managed to delay the advance of the German ground tank forces - for a day.

On the 23rd, most of the Soviet troops on the Vikiyama side were wiped out. Two consecutive encirclement and annihilation battles wiped out 67 Soviet troops, but the German army was also exhausted.Fafnir was fine, but he saw that his companions were exhausted, and the logistical supplies and maintenance were beginning to be unable to keep up. Although the morale of the few friends who were still high-spirited in the past few weeks was still high, they could no longer hide it. They are deeply exhausted mentally and physically.

At the end of October, the Germans halted their offensive due to muddy ground and exhausted forces.At this time, Moscow is close at hand.

In early November, the weather turned cold overnight and the ground started to harden.All the troops have also rested, and Fafnir and the others are ready to start attacking the Tula defensive position.
