Predatory map of ominous birds

Fafnir saw a huge chariot, with a ricochet shape completely different from that of a tiger, a taller body, and longer pipes—in front of him was a King Tiger tank.

After the completion of finalization, the first batch of production models of King Tiger, 20 of which were assigned to the first and second companies of the 503 Independent Heavy Tank Battalion.

Fafnir and his companions immediately plunged into intense familiarization and training, and the time left for them was only one month at most.The King Tiger tank is indeed a good tank - at least in defensive battles, it is not very mobile when used for assault.During the training, they also heard gossip - it seems that both the King Tiger tank and the Tiger tank have been discontinued?The cutting-edge King Tiger tank has just been finalized and has been discontinued?It appears that fewer than 100 were produced.Legend has it that there are still some good things going on?However, these cannot be verified, and Fafnir quickly received orders: the first company still went to the Italian front, and the Italians were as unreliable as ever; the second company returned to the Eastern Front, and the Russians launched a new round. Blow, the Eastern Front is crumbling.This time, Fafnir is going to Odessa.

In January 44, the Soviet Red Army launched a strong offensive in Ukraine, preparing to drive or annihilate the Germans directly from the right bank of Ukraine.At this time, Fafnir had just arrived in Odessa, a resort on the Black Sea, and before he had time to enjoy the famous Belarusian beauties, he was thrown to the front by his superiors. In April, the Soviet Red Army had just wiped out Korsun-Shevchenkovs The remaining German troops in the base area. During the battle, the second company of the 1 Battalion to which Fafnir belonged fought hard to tear open the encirclement circle of the Soviet Red Army, and opened the encirclement pocket for a week, causing a large number of besieged German troops to flee The fate of being annihilated, but there is no doubt that almost all technical equipment was abandoned or blown up. It can be said that the Germans escaped empty-handed.During the battle, Fafnir's Tiger King showed its conception in the design, perfectly realizing the designer's idea - accurately destroying all types of Soviet tanks at a distance of 4km.Fafnir's No. 503 King Tiger tank painted with a tiger's skull made the Soviet tank crew fall into a nightmare. One tank after another was destroyed by this demon from a distance, and their counterattack was useless against this demon. .A slogan spread among the Soviet tank soldiers: "Stay away from the skeleton tiger!" When Fafnir and his Tiger King companions withdrew from the battlefield and returned to near Odessa, countless Soviet tank wrecks were abandoned on the battlefield.

The reliability of the King Tiger's mobility is a tragedy after all. None of the 10 King Tigers participating in the battle in the second company was destroyed by the Soviet Red Army, but 3 of them had to be abandoned because of the failure of the running mechanism. blow up.The rumors have also been confirmed. The battalion commander said that the loss of the Tiger King is lost, and there is no supplement in the later stage. However, the tiger still has more to repair and then give it to the three groups of unlucky people.

In April, the 4st Company also arrived at the front line in Odessa, and Fafnir saw Karl with his head wrapped like a mummy.This guy was hit by shrapnel from the Yankee's naval gun while he was in command. Although he didn't die, he was definitely disfigured...

The Ukrainian Third Front Army on the opposite side is about to move, and the mobilization of troops and weapons is extremely frequent. It is about to launch a huge offensive. The second company of the 503rd Battalion was transferred to form a battle group with other troops, trying to launch an offensive to disrupt the offensive preparations of the Soviet army and buy time for the Germans. On the night of April 4, under the cover of the superior Luftwaffe, the battle group launched an attack on the advance position of the Ukrainian Third Front in the direction of Kishnev.

The Soviet Red Army was caught off guard at the beginning. Before sunrise on the 13th, the Germans wedged into the Soviet Red Army's position for more than 20 kilometers. A large number of weapons were destroyed. It is estimated that the strength of a division was defeated.But after sunrise, the Soviet Red Army immediately stabilized the front line, and a large number of troops were thrown into the German breakthrough to seal the opening.

Fafnir fought fiercely at the arrow, a large number of Soviet Red Army T34 and Stalin 2 tanks appeared in front of him, and behind him were only 5 King Tigers and more than 4 Panthers plus about the same number of No. 4 H That's all, the fire support is nothing more than a team of rhino horns, a few No. [-] assault guns and a large number of stalkers.The Soviet Red Army tanks on the opposite side roughly counted more than one hundred in the periscope, scattered and surrounded them.The King Tiger tank used its range advantage to shoot from a distance, and at the same time used its body as a weak assault gun to resist the Soviet artillery fire.

"Damn! 4 o'clock! 2300 meters Stalin 2!" Fafnir roared.A round of armor-piercing shells were fired under his command, and he and his wingmen covered each other against a huge number of Soviet tanks.There are also super-capable guys in the Soviet tanks-their experience points have also increased...the shooting has become more accurate, and the premonition has become stronger.The Stalin 2 improved heavy tank is a difficult opponent. It has powerful firepower and maneuverability above the King Tiger. Fortunately, the King Tiger's 88 guns have an advantage in aiming and range, and they are destroyed one by one on the way to the breakthrough. , King Tiger ignores the 34 guns of the t85. This kind of big head 34 is confronted by the Panther and the No. 4 h.

The battle lasted all day, and the Germans once again ran out of energy, and their inferior strength and weapons made them unable to attack anymore-only dragging the Soviet Red Army for a day.Fafnir's armor-piercing ammunition was almost exhausted, and there was not much fuel left. After a supply, the Germans began to retreat, and some snipers were left behind to attack the Soviet pursuit troops.

Matty Hansen.A German infantry sniper, whom Fafnir only knew after the attack, entered the Black Forest with his observer Max Sean under the watchful eyes of Fafnir. They planned to set up an ambush on the road through the forest to hunt down the Soviet Union. The goal of the Red Army.In the previous battles, Fafnir saw Marty Hansen's shooting skills more than once-accurately shot and killed the half-exposed Soviet tanker at a distance of nearly one kilometer, and quickly shot at a distance of hundreds of meters. The Soviet snipers and soldiers who flashed past the ruins of the building were killed... This happened more than once.Fafnir also asked about the records of Marty Hansen and Max Sean, "255" Matty Hansen did not say, but Max Sean said "our record of this sniper team!" Marty Hansen was proud Carefully stroking the first-class Iron Cross on his neckline.

Fafnir didn't know what happened later, but the Soviet Red Army did not appear to chase them from the road in the forest for a whole day, and later Fafnir also saw that the forest was covered by heavy Soviet artillery, and the flames were soaring into the sky.He never saw those two snipers again...

Marty Hansen and Max Sean did their duty in the woods. The Soviet war history admits that 90 to 120 people may have been shot and killed in the woods and on the road. A whole tank regiment was blocked by snipers in the woods , more than 15 tank commanders and heads of tank regiments may have been shot by German snipers in the woods.In the end, the heavy artillery of the division and the army had to be called to level the entire forest before passing.
