Steel Soviet Union

After the firelight and gunpowder smoke completely dissipated, all that was left in the air was the strange smell of blood, gunpowder, burnt earth, and earth.

As for the German soldiers who were running wildly just now, there was only a pool of rotten blood and flesh and broken limbs left in place. It goes without saying that the 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenade, which can take away even the No. 4 tank with one shot, is so powerful that it has an unparalleled effect on people.

Directly using the main gun to bombard the infantry is indeed more powerful than machine gun fire. This naturally meets Kulbalov's expectations.

There were no moving and escaping German soldiers within the field of vision of the commander's periscope. There might be some lucky ones who were just knocked unconscious, but that didn't matter. That land and the victory of this battle will soon belong to the Red Army. When cleaning the battlefield, it is not difficult to check whether there are any fish that have slipped through the pile of German corpses.

"Comrade division commander, a main gun salvo opened fire and killed at least one regiment of German devils!"

Kulbalov was obviously in high spirits, his words were full of joyful, cheerful, and exciting syllables, and he even joked directly with Malashenko on the other end of the radio.

Hearing Kulbalov's high interest, Malashenko, who was slightly behind, also witnessed the whole process. He was very satisfied with Kulbalov's command and immediately grinned.

"Well, I've seen it all. But don't be too happy. There are more Germans ahead. Let the infantry get on the vehicles and continue the attack! Today's battle is not over yet!"

The tens of thousands of German troops escaping did not form a long queue. After fighting all the way, Malashenko found that the Germans interestingly divided their escaping team into several small groups. batch.

After destroying this wave, there is another wave of Germans not far ahead waiting for him to deal with. Although he has chased defeated enemies before, this is the first time for Malashenko to encounter such a situation. Now he cannot help but Feeling a little curious.

What is the specific purpose of this weird tactic of the Germans? Or is there some reason that I don’t know?

This may be the case, and all possibilities cannot be ruled out now.

But as for what the truth is, only after Malashenko has finished the battle, wiped out all the Germans, and ended the battle, can he have time to think carefully and carefully investigate the cause and effect and the ins and outs.

The roaring IS6 heavy tanks quickly set off again according to the order of the division commander. This round of attack, which did not last long, did not consume much ammunition and fuel. For the strong and durable Red Army tanks, it was still enough. live.

The time now is half past two at noon. War is one of those things where you feel like it hasn't gone very long and it's still early, but in fact time flows much faster than you think and a long time has passed.

Malashenko, who felt that he had not dealt with the Germans properly, looked at the time on his watch and was a little worried about the upcoming battle today.

But this is not due to the question of whether he can beat this kind of battle, but the worry of whether there is enough time.

"I guess there won't be enough time left today. It would be great if these German guys could know better and surrender quickly."

Malashenko expected to end everything within one day today, but there is a big gap between the current progress and earlier expectations, and there is a high probability that it will not be completed.

At this point in the war, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current German army has no hope of a comeback. If it continues like this, it will just be a meaningless move that will increase casualties on both sides of the war.

The rescue force commanded by Manstein's old fox was tightly blocked by the Ukrainian Second Front from outside the Cherkasy core encirclement and could not advance even an inch. In the Cherkasy theater where the war was raging, there was also the 1st Ukrainian Front, which had strong combat capabilities and commanded elite elite units such as the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division. They held all the surrounded German troops in the encirclement and beat them violently.

In other words, even if the currently besieged German troops can break through the encirclement of the First Ukrainian Front, they can barely escape by tearing a hole through the Cherkasy steel encirclement. The peripheral Ukrainian Second Front Army, which has been able to free up some of its troops, can still intercept it and try to block its path according to the needs of the war situation.

Moreover, the German troops who broke out were short of food and oil, and their mechanization level was as low as freezing point. By that time, most of the German troops may have to run wildly on their own two feet to fight for their own lives.

What was chasing behind them were the highly mechanized Soviet ace units such as Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. If the two legs of the German superman can outrun the iron wheels of the Red Army tanks, then the race between infantry and tanks can be a try.

It's a pity that the earth is not the planet Anton. There are no German supermen, only ordinary German infantry. You can't even think about running across the tracks with two legs.

"These Germans should all surrender immediately. If they go to the prison camp one day earlier, they can calm down and avoid worrying about their lives all day long."

The garbage time with nothing to do is very suitable for talking nonsense. The small tea party of the No. 177 train crew quietly started again.

"Then you can call the commander of these Germans and tell them, are you looking for death? If you don't want to die, just lay down your weapons and surrender. Grandpa Iushkin can reward you by coming over to shine your shoes and tie a belt around your neck." If the dog leash is used as a pet, maybe the German guy will be scared and surrender immediately, hahahahaha."

Malashenko, who had eliminated a large number of sticks and suffered minimal losses, was now in a happy mood. There was probably nothing more satisfying than playing the role of a hunter, chasing down a fleeing prey.

But when he was in a good mood, he naturally started to talk nonsense. Comrade Lao Ma returned to the turret and started talking directly with Iushkin, who was the first to speak.

"Haha, that's a good idea. I want to do it too, but it's a pity that we don't have a phone line that can connect to the Germans."

Before Iushkin finished speaking, Artyom, who was leaning next to the first ammunition rack at the end of the turret, also joined the conversation.

"Hey, but you can still wait until the war is over to call the German commander over and ask him to clean your shoes and then tie a dog leash around his neck as a pet. I think it would be appropriate to tie it at the door of the division toilet. Krauts and that place have a natural affinity for each other, no joke.”
