Predatory map of ominous birds

On June 1500, the Kharkov counterattack ended.The German army killed and captured more than 2000 Soviet troops, destroyed and captured more than [-] Soviet tanks and assault guns, and more than [-] artillery pieces were also captured by the German army.

Fafnir gained 27 victories in the battle, and successfully pushed his own record to 2, which is only 98 away from 50. He is the number one tank killer in the entire army.Dick Karl of the first company also piled up his records to the 9 mark, successfully ranking himself among the top ten German tank killers.Junker's Panther also made a move, destroying 15 tanks, bringing the record to 24. According to the type of vehicle, it is the number one killer of the Panther tank.But after the battle, Fafnir also got bad news-Eckert died of a lung infection.Sergeant Julian von Eckert, a young 4-year-old Junker-born commander of the No. 1943 tank destroyer, died of infection after being shot in the lung by a Soviet sniper in May 5.Fafnir attended Eckert's funeral...

Germany's losses in the Battle of Kharkov were not small. The replenishment in the past few months was almost exhausted, and the casualties were close to 35 soldiers.Especially the loss of various tanks-among the 5 tigers that participated in the battle, the Wehrmacht lost 45 of the 17 tigers in the battle; the 200 tigers of the SS lost as many as 4; The loss was close to 60; all kinds of assault artillery basically lost about a quarter, both sides were exhausted from fighting, and the front line calmed down.

Throughout July and August, Germany and the Soviet Union were busy dispatching troops, and a large number of technical weapons and troops were added to the front.Germany took advantage of the favorable situation in the Kursk salient to launch a decisive attack to regain the initiative of the strategic offensive, annihilated the Soviet Voronezh Front Army and Steppe Front Army, and severely damaged the Central Front Army; It is possible to eliminate the German offensive force, strive to fly on both wings, eliminate the main force of the German Army Group South in the salient and injure the German Army Group Central as much as possible, creating a favorable situation for the future annihilation war.

Fafnir's tank was dispatched to the rear, and he got a new mid-stage Tiger model, which was still painted with the number 223 and painted with a unique tiger skull pattern.At the same time, he met another friend—Salfie Lee Decker, who is now at the same level as Fafnir, who has just been promoted to the first level. Sergeant Major Decker is now a Ferdinand Heavy in the 653rd Battalion. The commander of the assault gun, wearing a first-class Iron Cross obtained by driving the No. 102 assault gun in the north, was proud of his collar. Compared with Ferdinand, Fafnir's tiger immediately became a head shorter.Frontal 200mm vs. 88mm, 56mml88 vs. 71mml[-], Fafnir's tiger is completely defeated, but at least Fafnir can still laugh at Dirk in terms of maneuvering...

On September 9, the German Army Group South and the Army Group Center launched an attack on the Kursk salient from the north and the south. More than 3 Tiger tanks and more than 150 Panther tanks led the way to guide No. 300 and No. 3 behind The tanks attacked the defense line of the Soviet Red Army. In the group of tigers and leopards, some huge guys were particularly conspicuous--Ferdinand tank destroyers. They stopped from time to time and fired shells, destroying the Soviet tanks one by one from a distance. .

The Russians dug countless tunnels and bunkers on the ground, half-buried the tanks in the bunkers, exposed a turret and fired.Fafnir saw some distinctive Soviet tanks in the binoculars - a much larger body than the T34 and a low and huge turret with a thick and long artillery on it - obviously smaller than his Tiger and Fei Dinan is much thicker...

"Finally we meet... is and is2 heavy tanks! Let me see if you are as strong as I have seen before..." Fafnir whispered.The current distance is still relatively far, but the IS2's 122 artillery has begun to shoot at the leading Tiger tank.It's just that the shells seem to be out of place, and the nearest landing points are all 2 meters away.Before Fafnir began to laugh at the poor aiming of IS223, the earth-shattering shelling began.The artillery of the Soviet Red Army seems to be surprisingly large, and the shells seem to be free of money.Fafnir's No. [-] tank was like a sampan swaying in the sea. The body was beating very violently. Fafnir was completely helpless and had to pray that he would not be hit directly by heavy artillery shells... Soon the German heavy artillery moved The target, instead of providing fire preparations for the impact, started firing anti-artillery, trying to destroy the Soviet artillery positions.In the sky, German and Soviet fighter jets and attack planes fought into a pile. Thousands of planes fought fiercely over Kursk.The fighters fought together again, biting their tails repeatedly.

The defensive positions of the Soviet Red Army were one after another, and countless anti-tank artillery and semi-fixed tank firepower made it difficult for the Germans to attack.In two whole days, they have only advanced less than [-] kilometers. It can be said that the rapid breakthrough of the battle has become a bubble...

Favnir's No. 223 car was also hit by several shells. Fortunately, none of the heavy shells penetrated the Tiger's armor.He and his attacking companions were blocked by a fortification group composed of small hills.When he was trying to find out the weakness of the Soviet Red Army's defensive positions, he found a group of new grenadiers coming from the rear.His vision was very keen, and he clearly saw a captain leading the well-armed soldiers.The captain cast a contemptuous look at the opposite Soviet position, and directly issued an order: "Is this Sergeant Major Fafnir? I am Captain Schottrogham. Please provide us with cover in your Tiger tank, we This position will be occupied to open the way for subsequent onslaughts."

"Shotterham? Is this name familiar? Where have you seen it?" Fafnir had no time to think slowly, "Forward! Prepare the grenade!" The tiger tank engine roared, driving the 56-ton The big guy crawled towards the Soviet position at a speed of 30 kilometers.Another Tiger and several No. 4 tanks and other armored vehicles hurriedly followed Fafnir's footsteps.The German tank group slammed into the Soviet defense line.

The attention of the Soviet army was attracted by the impact of the German heavy tanks, and they ignored the grenadiers led by Captain Schuttrogham who were approaching quickly. Fafnir looked at the impacting grenadiers, but he couldn't think of their preparations. How to break into the light and dark bunker positions of the Soviet army.

The answer to this question came out very quickly——Captain Schuttrogham's speed was abnormally fast, and he rushed across the open shooting range of hundreds of meters in a few steps, and the Soviet machine gunners had no time to aim. Follow in his footsteps.But the Soviet army had too many machine guns and mortars, and soon the captain was drowned in the torrential rain of bullets and shells.Just as Fafnir was about to sigh for the captain, a figure suddenly jumped out of the gunpowder smoke!A machine gun protruded from the captain's stomach!Fafnir was surprised to find that half of Captain Shutterham's body was mechanical!His brain suddenly remembered where he had seen this name before! "Shut Roham! Jojo's adventure?!" Then Fafnir suddenly felt a slight tremor in this world, as if something different began to overlap with this world...
