Predatory map of ominous birds

The offensive was fierce from the start, and in the time following the double encirclement of Vikiama-Bryansk, the Red Army managed to reorganize its troops and reorganize its defenses, while reserves arrived in Moscow from the Far East.Millions of Moscow citizens and militiamen quickly built complete fortifications, which made the German army a tough battle from the beginning.

As a tank soldier, Fafnir was naturally on the front line.He commanded his own tank, and together with his teammates, used grenade fire to destroy the firepower points and fortifications of the Soviet army. In particular, many solid fortifications required him and his companions to use his tank to cover the blasting for combat engineers. The battle was fierce and the progress was slow. , Huge casualties.From time to time, Soviet tanks launched side assaults, trying to cut off the German offensive line; or directly confronted, hoping to block the German tanks' offensive arrows.Fafnir fought six or seven tank battles in one day.

"Ruler 1200! T26! Grenade shooting!" Fafnir shouted into the intercom.

"Turn right!! Stop! Forward! Turret turn 15 degrees to the right! 2 o'clock! Load AP rounds!" he shouted to the driver and gunner again. "Stop! Wait for my order!" A T34 suddenly protruded from the corner of the small village house where Fafnir's tank was located after a few seconds. At this time, Fafnir's tank had aimed its muzzle at this position and waited for a few seconds clock.This T34 did not find the No. 4 tank that was close to the square, and the gunner of Fafnir fired an armor-piercing projectile before he gave the firing order. The distance between the two vehicles was only 4 to 5 meters, and the T34 was still completely exposed. Without the side and butt, it is impossible for Fafnir's gunner to fly.A round of 75 armor-piercing bullets accurately penetrated the engine compartment cover of the T34 and damaged the engine of the T34. The Soviet tankers jumped out of the tank one after another, and were knocked down one by one by Fafnir's tank machine guns-they hadn't found out how to destroy them The German tanks were actually right behind them.

Once again repelling the attack of the Soviet Red Army tanks on the flank of the German army, Fafnir and the others could not stop, and rushed directly to the front for reinforcements.Precious time, motorcycle hours, and supplies were consumed in the struggle with the Soviet army.Fafnir increased his record to 14 tanks and self-propelled artillery in just one week, and he is already the number one tank hunter in the regiment, and his friends are all lucky, no one is missing an arm The legs were hanging on the first line, and everything was safe.

The weather turned cold almost all of a sudden... Fafnir learned what is called "Russian winter". The tanks could not be started, and a large number of infantry were frostbitten.The antifreeze, warm clothing, and snow camouflage in the rear could not be delivered, and the logistics were almost cut off.Fortunately, Fafnir is not afraid of the cold, he is nothing at all, but the other tank soldiers suffered heavy losses, and a large number of tanks were unable to start, and the tanks on the front line became a fixed target for the Soviet army.It was destroyed one by one by anti-tank guns, Soviet tanks and long-range artillery.Fafnir and the others try their best to start the tank to keep warm - at least the engine can still send some heat to the inside of the tank... The water tank must be emptied as soon as the fighting stops every day - otherwise it will freeze to death. Spend a lot of time boiling water to fill the tanks, while also checking that the lubricating oil is not frozen... many tanks are just abandoned.

Fortunately, he is lucky, the condition of the tank is not bad, at least it can be launched every time, and it can crawl and fight.But this is also his bad luck. Since his tank can still fight, he often forms a battle group with other tanks and armored vehicles that can still fight. Fortunately, at the end of November, the number of offensive operations was relatively small, and there were fewer dispatches. At the beginning of December, when the Soviet Red Army launched a counter-offensive, he became a firefighter and ran around, and was dispatched by his superiors to plug leaks.

The battle was extremely difficult, the morale of the Soviet Red Army was high, and a large number of new troops were thrown into the battlefield.Germany's morale was low, and they frequently gave up their positions and retreated. However, the head of state ordered that every stronghold must be defended. This order buried a large number of soldiers while avoiding the collapse of the German army.

Fafnir's tank was badly worn and he was exhausted.The Soviet army launched rounds of uninterrupted offensives, and he had little time to rest, always moving from one battlefield to another.

"Stop! Direction at 3 o'clock!! kv,! Grenades ready!! Didn't hit?!" Fafnir shouted, "The distance is wrong! Set the scale to 400 meters! Come again!"

Fafnir's crew members are exhausted to the point of death except him. The gunner has repeatedly made ranging and aiming mistakes; others have also made many mistakes-fortunately, they have not been killed so far. ... Although they have been hit several times, thanks to Fafnir's premonition ability, they always put the "ricochet" posture first, and with a little luck, they have not been hit by the main armor until now. Wear... This is also thanks to Fafnir trying to withstand the shells of the t26 and bt series to avoid being hit by t34 and kv.

With the Germans retreating on every front, Fafnir's luck finally ran out. On January 1, in the defensive battle outside Kalinin, he and 6 other German tanks faced the attack of Soviet tanks.

"Damn it! It's t34! KV! Reverse! Turn the turret to the left and aim at 10 o'clock! You concentrate on aiming! I'll report the distance to you! 450 meters! T34! Grenade shooting!" Fafnir watched from the commander's position Periscope ordered loudly.A grenade paralyzed the tank on the opposite side—the track was interrupted, but the Soviet T34 ignored it and still shot at Fafnir desperately, completely ignoring that it had become a fixed target.At this time, other German tanks were also entangled by more Soviet tanks than them, unable to replenish their guns.Fafnir’s short pipe 75 had no choice but to take the t34, so he had to reverse the car to find a bunker again. After reversing 50 meters and turning into a house, another t34 on the opposite side caught up, and a kv turned to outflank Fafnir's rear.This is the German and Soviet infantry fighting, and Fafnir has to be careful of the Soviet infantry's attack.He ventured his body out of the turret, calling out for German infantry to provide cover.A group of infantry was also looking for cover, and saw this lone tank of ours approaching one after another.At this moment, a heavy grenade hit the house, and Fafnir shrank quickly and hid in the tank.But the grenade finally broke his No. 4 tank—the track was broken, and the body was stuck by the collapsed wall. Seeing the t34 and kv approaching step by step, Fafnir decisively ordered to abandon the tank and run away with the infantry ... He himself just jumped out of the turret, a flash of light - the kv behind opened fire, the No. 4 tank was destroyed and caught fire, the signalman did not have time to come out, when Fafnir tried to save his men, the tank exploded, and the turret was blown Fly, Fafnir was blown away by the blast, but fortunately he had no other injuries other than a broken rib.He and the remaining crew members fled along with the infantry. Along the way, he saw that the tanks of his own army had lost a lot. Fortunately, the Soviet army also suffered heavy losses and broke away from contact.Fafnir and the others had just retreated in the remaining tanks and personnel carriers with the infantry and other escaped tank soldiers.
