Chapter 89 Tank Combat
Colonel Eberhard's choice was correct. It is obviously unrealistic to retreat under such circumstances. The distance between the enemy and our troops is too close, less than a hundred meters.
Once the Soviet army discovers their intention to retreat, they will definitely charge.
Although the speed of the Soviet T26 is not fast... 30 kilometers per hour, it only takes 12 seconds to go 100 meters at full speed.
In 12 seconds, the German "No. 3" tank had not had time to turn around, and the enemy tank had already driven to the front. At that time, it would not only be a problem of being surrounded, but the front would be crushed by the enemy.
It is obviously not okay to continue to stay in place and fight the enemy, because it means waiting to be surrounded by the enemy.
Therefore, if there is a way to survive, it is positive, and only by killing a bloody way can there be a chance of survival.
So, the tragic tank hand-to-hand combat started at that moment.
Both sides had no time to fire, and the two steel lines of defense collided fiercely.
There was a sound of steel colliding, and the T26 tank in front of Shulka was knocked back a certain distance.
While there isn't much damage on the surface of the tank, at least that's how it looks from the rear. But Shulka can understand the situation of the tank crew in the tank... The space in the tank cabin is narrow, and the crew is almost wrapped in steel and various joysticks to drive the tank. If you are not careful, you may get a bloody head, not to mention the tank collision at this time.
There is a reason why the Germans dared to do this, because for a collision, the "No. 3" tank, which is almost twice as heavy as the T26, is clearly superior, not to mention that its front armor is much thicker than the T16.
So, after a while, the T26 was pushed back by the "No. 3" tank.
"Think of a way!" The follower on the rear armor of the tank shouted: "We are about to be crushed by it!"
It was only after the war that Shulka knew that there was indeed such a situation: the body of the "No. 3" tank was taller than the T26, coupled with the weight and muddy roads, several tanks
"No. 3" actually climbed up along the front armor of the T26 "cracking" and then pressed it hard under the track.
Needless to say, most of the tank crew inside were crushed into a pulp.
But what is surprising is that one person survived... He was lucky to roll into a deformed cavity and was safe, but outsiders could not rescue him, because all the exits were deformed and stuck, the rescuers had to From time to time, feed him food and water through the gap, and he was not able to get him out until a few days later.
T26 continued to be pushed back, and the follower was so frightened that he dropped his phone and jumped off the armor.
Several soldiers wanted to go around from the side, but they were quickly knocked down by the bullets from the opposite side... The German infantry also followed behind the "No. 3" tank, and they covered the flank of the tank.
Going on like this is obviously not an option. The T26 will definitely lose in this kind of wrestling. The Soviet infantry can only follow the T26 to retreat step by step, while the friendly tanks and infantry are following behind... If they continue to be pushed back, It is likely that the Soviet army will be huddled and thrown into chaos.
And once the Soviet army fell into crowded chaos, it was time for the German army to start a massacre.
"Grenade!" Shulka yelled.
The soldiers who were at a loss heard the order, and hurriedly pulled the grenade and threw it towards the opposite side of the tank... There was a burst of "boom boom", and the screams of the German army came from the opposite side.
But for grenades, if the Soviet army can drop to the German army, it means that the German army can also drop to the Soviet army, so in the next second, several grenades with green smoke rolled and fell from the top of the head.
Shulka quickly turned over and rolled into the ditch, lying low... It is actually very convenient to find where it is in rainy days, because the water flows downhill, and where there is stagnant water, it means that the terrain is low, and the more stagnant water More means more good places to hide.
This is a bit different from the consciousness of living in a peaceful society. The normal state in a peaceful society is to avoid puddles, and it becomes a kind of subconscious after a long time.
Therefore, the battlefield often has to overcome this subconsciousness or it can also be said to be a habit.
After a burst of "boom boom", several soldiers who couldn't escape fell in a pool of blood.
Shulka saw that Avmovich was also one of them, the recruit from Makarif who was transferred to Shulka's platoon through connections, his neck was hit by shrapnel... Shulka couldn't tell if it was shrapnel Swipe or hit, he only saw blood flowing from his fingers like a fountain, he wanted to call for help but couldn't, because blood gushed out of his mouth every time he opened his mouth.
At that moment, a trace of guilt flashed in Shulka's heart. After all, he believed in the "runaway hero" to join this army, but Shulka let him down.
But this guilt is only a little bit, because this is a battlefield, and no one can guarantee to be alive on the battlefield, including Shulka himself.
"Grenade!" Shulka yelled.
At this time, grenades are the most useful. If you want to reduce the number of grenades thrown in the direction of the enemy, the best way is to take the first step and throw more grenades.
The Soviet army has an advantage in terms of grenades, because the Soviet army has many troops and has the upper hand.
However, this still cannot reverse the crisis of the Soviet army, because the "No. 3" tank is pushing the T26 to force the Soviet soldiers to retreat step by step.
"What to do, comrade platoon leader?" shouted the veteran, who also saw the danger of going on like this.
Shulka didn't answer, because he didn't know what to do... This is a problem with the tank. He couldn't call the soldiers to stand up against the retreating T26.
However, when Shulka saw the dynamite pack in the thief's hand, he suddenly had an idea.
Shulka didn't say much, grabbed the explosives from the thief, pulled the ignited fuse, and threw it under the chassis of the T26...
"What are you doing?" The thief stared blankly at Shulka: "Comrade platoon leader, this is our tank..."
The thief seemed to understand Shulka's purpose before he finished speaking.
The explosive package has a ground delay for the fuse, and the "Pan 3" tank is pushing the T26 forward... That is to say, if the timing is about the same, the explosive package should explode under the chassis of the "Pan 3" tank .
"Bayonet!" Shulka ordered loudly.
Although the soldiers didn't know what happened, they fixed the bayonets on their rifles according to Shulka's order.
Shulka's calculations were correct. After a few seconds, there was only a loud "boom", and a burst of flames erupted opposite the T26, and the T26 stopped retreating immediately... The tank chassis is the weakest part of the armor, so of course it cannot Withstand the power of the explosive charge, even if it is a Panzer III.
