On the battlefield filled with artillery fire, the fierce tank battle began with the first ray of rising sun. With its numerical superiority, the Fifth Tank Army abandoned infantry coordination and began a rapid attack. In a short period of time, it pushed the oncoming German army back nearly a kilometer.
Correspondingly, after a brief panic, the German army also began to rely on the cover of rivers and villages to carry out a desperate counterattack. Not long after, the German Eighth Air Force also roared into the battlefield
These roaring fighter jets and dive bombers brought huge casualties to the attacking Soviet tanks, and also caused huge casualties to the attacking Soviet tanks. The compressed German tanks got a chance to breathe, and even with the help of the bombs dropped by the dive bombers, they even began to push the battle line in the direction of the Soviet army
On this repeatedly sawing battlefield, yesterday's battle was The abandoned tank wreckage of both sides turned out to be a relatively safe place. Not only did the tanks on both sides not approach the tank ruins because they were worried about being blocked from firing, but even the dive bombers with their ears roaring overhead seemed unwilling to waste their shells in these places.
On the contrary, stretcher bearers and medical soldiers from both the Soviet and German sides regarded these wreckage as a temporary refuge from the war.
Beside the smelly mud pond, the T34, which was squeezed between the battlefield wreckage of two German tanks, was not idle. Roman was using the German tank tracks that could be found around to thicken the front armor, obviously preparing to put it down. This tank was used as a fixed artillery piece.
But Vajim was lying on the back of the T34, repairing the engine seriously, and obviously wanted it to run again. Not only that, he even found a small bottle of paint, and put the phrase on the turret The slogan symbolizing going home was repainted.
Only Wei Ran was lying on the roof of the wreckage of the No. 3 assault gun, holding a telescope and observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.
Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery fire and the impact of steel, in the field of view of the telescope, Wei Ran could clearly see that at this time, their tank artillery was not far away in the direction they were facing. There were several wounded people hiding behind the No. 4 tank that Roman had destroyed personally, receiving treatment from the medics.
With only a distance of more than a hundred meters, he could clearly see the blood spreading from the wounded. He could even recognize that the stretcher bearer who had just brought a wounded man here was none other than the political commissar of Trosha
However, before he could tell the two busy people about this discovery, partners, a Leopard tank was rushing towards the Soviet position in the distance. Looking at the direction of the front of his vehicle, it might soon pass through the empty space between them and the wounded
"Roman"
Wei Ran shouted at the top of his lungs. Immediately after, Roman and Vajim dropped what they were busy doing and climbed into the tank turret in two steps at a time.
"Boom"
Almost at the same time that the Leopard tank dropped its shells around the wreckage of the No. 4 tank at close range, he just jumped intoAfter looking at the sight, Roman in the turret also stepped on the firing pedal and fired the armor-piercing bullet that had been waiting for a long time in the barrel.
I don’t know whether it is lucky or unfortunate, this shot in a hurry Although the shell did not hit the armor on the side of the Panther, it luckily hit its right rear driving wheel
Even Wei Ran, who was outside the tank, could see more clearly. Just now That shell not only broke one of the Leopard's legs, but even its engine emitted conspicuous flames in the morning glow
"Armor-piercing projectile"
Roman He shouted again, and then watched helplessly as the Leopard in the scope began to turn the turret, and then, with the help of the only intact track, he turned the heavy body, trying to aim the heavy frontal armor at the guard. et al.
The turret on its side rotates fast and the body rotates slowly, but the situation on Roman's side is even more difficult. Not only does the turret rotate slowly by hand, but it can't even rotate the body at all.
At this time, the only competition between the two sides seemed to be the speed of loading and aiming. But obviously, once the Leopard turned the front of the car before the engine stalled, it would be their death
Roman could see this situation clearly, and Wei Ran, who was on guard outside the tank, could see it even more clearly
So this is the assistance in destroying a Leopard mentioned in the return mission
Wei Ran hesitated for less than a second, immediately jumped off the wreckage of the assault gun, and risked his life with a submachine gun. Rushed towards the Panther
At this moment, the two hostile tanks also completed reloading and aiming
"Boom"
Depressingly Amidst the roar, the shell fired by the Leopard hit the front of the T34 tank.
Fortunately, not only was there no one in the cab at this time, but Roman had also hung several layers of tracks as additional armor not long ago, so this shot not only made the two people in the tank scream. Apart from the splitting headache, it didn't cause any actual damage.
With a grin on his face, Roman raised his eyes to the sight. After Roman saw the Weilian running towards the Panther, he immediately shouted and used gestures to direct Vajim to continue to rotate the turret. , aiming at the heading machine gun on the front side of the Panther
"Boom"
The moment Roman stepped on the pedal, the second armor-piercing projectile quickly flew less than a hundred meters away After a distance, it hit the shield of the directional machine gun hard.
"Hurry up the armor-piercing bullets," Roman shouted and urged.
Almost at the same time that Vajim stuffed the armor-piercing shell into the gun barrel, the Panther fired another shell.
However, whether it was out of retaliation for the shell that had just been hit or the impact of the burning engine, this shell hit the mantlet of the directional machine gun as well
p>However, although the gun did not hit the inside of the tank along the weak hole due to the angle of incidence, the flying machine gun fragments enveloped Roman and Vajim
OriginallyVajim, who was shaking the turret to turn, trembled. He looked down at the two-centimeter-long wound on his right hip, and then touched his lower back. Before he could see the blood on his hand, he sat down with a pop. On the floor
Looking at Roman, his chest was stained red with blood, and even his neck was embedded with a machine gun fragment
"Plop" With a sound, Roman slid down from the hanging seat, and while uttering the syllable "ho ho", he stretched his hand towards the fire pedal.
Seeing this, Vajim also crawled over, pressed Roman's hand with his blood-stained hand, and the two of them pressed the fire pedal together.
"Boom"
After the last shell flew over a distance of just over a hundred meters, it hit the front of the turret of the Panther tank hard
p>
On the battlefield outside the tank, Wei Ran was only thirty or forty meters away from the stalled Panther.
At this time, he could clearly see the thick smoke coming out of the opened hatch cover, and the German tank soldiers who were fleeing in the thick smoke. Upon seeing this, Wei Ran immediately stopped. He raised the sand in his hand and started shooting
Almost at the same time that he suppressed the German tank soldiers who had just emerged back into the tank, a figure dyed golden by the morning glow jumped onto the burning Panther tank. Stepping on the flames coming out of the engine grille, he threw a grenade into the shell loading port that had just been pushed open.
"Boom"
The hatch that was buckled by the figure who jumped off the tank was also opened again due to the explosion of the grenade. Immediately afterwards, the tank that was already on fire also The explosion occurred
A moment later, Wei Ran got up again and trotted towards the destroyed Panther tank.
With just one glance, he saw Political Commissar Trosha leaning on the other side of the wreckage of the No. 4 tank and giggling, and beside him, there were several mutilated corpses.
"Commissar Trosha, are you okay?" Wei Ran asked in a high voice.
"It's okay, it's okay" Gu Chu
Trosha stood up unsteadily, "You are indeed still alive. Were you the ones who fired the shell just now?"
< p>"It's us." Wei Ran looked behind him, "I want to go see Roman and the others first."Trosha glanced at the wounded around him, bent down and picked up his pistol and said, "I'll go with you."
"You discovered us last night" Wei Ran asked as he ran back.
"I guess you should have survived"
Trosa responded, "I often encounter tank soldiers like this. They will not give up their tanks easily. Some even Deliberately pretending to be destroyed and ambush to carry out a secret ambush mission, which category do you belong to?"
"The former category"
Wei Ran shook his head, "We had been I'm busy, but until the battle started this morning, the engine couldn't start."
Hearing this, Trosha looked up and looked at the car that kept whizzing by.The fighter hesitated for a moment and then said, "Come back to the rear with me later. I can't guarantee that I will help you get a tank immediately, but for the sake of the prisoners you have captured, I can at least ensure that you don't We will separate."
"Thank you, this is probably the best news." Wei Ran picked up his pace again.
When the two rushed back to the tank, they frowned indiscriminately.
"Roman" Weiran shouted loudly, "Vajm, are you okay?"
Seeing no one responded, the two immediately jumped on the tank and opened the hatch, and followed closely Then they found Roman and Vajim lying on the ground pressing the fire pedal together.
"Are you okay?"
Wei Ran ignored the small space and immediately got in to test their breathing, "Help carry Vajim out, he is still alive"< /p>
"Pass it to me" Trosha immediately put his hand into the turret.
Just when Wei Ran was struggling to help Vajim up, he woke up.
Looking at Wei Ran who looked anxious, and then looking up at Commissar Trosha who had leaned most of his body into the turret, Vajim touched the wound that penetrated his abdomen, and his young face was filled with tears. He forced out an ugly smile. But then, dark red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"Let me, let me stay here, I, I, am dying, I, I, can't even feel my legs."
Vajm said tiredly, "Vic "Yes, yes?" Wei Ran hurriedly took out the wine bottle from the metal book, unscrewed the lid and handed it to the other party's mouth.
After taking a sip of the little gin left in the flask, Vajim seemed to be in better spirits, "Just let me stay here. Just now Roman, he didn't want to leave here either." A tank
Victor, Comrade Comrade Political Commissar, help me find something to prove that I am a tanker, and I will give it to Valentina when we recapture Kharkiv. Go back. Her address is in mine, in my tank hat. Remember to drink the vodka there. Promise me to hide my identity from her before our child is born."
"I promise you," Wei Ran solemnly promised, "when we recapture Harqif, we will"
Before he could finish speaking, Vajim had already closed his eyes. The wine bottle in Ran's hand also hit the shell shell at his feet with a clang.
Trocha, who had been leaning his upper body into the turret, sighed, took off the hat on his head, and exited the turret with his upper body.
In the tank filled with the smell of blood, Wei Yan returned Vajim's body to the driver's seat with difficulty and sat down, then took off his tank cap.
In this tank hat, a small canvas pocket was sewn by hand. What was inside the pocket was just a photo of Vadim and young Valentina, in their hands. , and even each held a box of vodka.
Turn over the back of the photo, but it is painted in blueSeveral addresses were written in pen letters.
The address in the first line at the top is in Kharkiv, the address in the second line is in Belgorod, the address in the third line is in Voronezh, and the address in the last line is in Kirov.
However, apart from this photo, Weiran never found any personal belongings from Vajim except for the trophy necklace and the German flashlight hanging around his neck.
No military medals, no soldier ID cards, no identity capsules, no cash, not even tobacco, cigarette paper and lighters.
Sighing, Weiran found a pencil from the tank, then found some cigarette papers from Roman's body, copied all the addresses on the back of the photo, and dismantled the tank. The tank's firing pin was put into his pocket along with the string of gold and silver rings hanging around Vajim's neck.
Finally, after placing Roman's body straight and wiping the blood on the two military medals on his chest, Wei Ran put away his wine bottle, took the hatch wrench and left the tank. .
After carefully locking all the car hatches, Wei Ran found Trosha who was standing at the front of the car.
"The last one should be the address of Vadim's wife, and the rest are places where they once lived. Vadim even left a box of vodka buried at those addresses."
Weiran handed the cigarette paper with the address written on it to Trosha, and then took out the firing pin of the artillery that had just been removed and handed it to the other party, "If you can, please find an opportunity after Kharkov is defeated. Send this back to his wife."
Trosha hesitated for a moment, took these things and asked, "Doesn't he have a soldier's certificate or anything else?"
Wei. Ran shook his head, briefly told Vajim's identity, and then took out the string of gold and silver rings from his pocket, "Let's find a way to change these things into money and send them back to his wife."
"Is there anything else I can do?" Trosha asked as he put away the things.
"Where is Ajiafon's body?" Wei Ran asked after hesitating for a moment.
"The mass grave in the rear camp." Trosha responded.
"Comrade Political Commissar, the bodies of Roman and Vajim"
"Just follow Vajim's"
Trosha sighed, "Waiting for the war After it's over, if I'm still alive, I will bring their family members here to pick them up." "Roman's family died in Kiev in 1941," Wei Ran almost babbled. Another bloody fact emerged.
"Just like it says on the turret"
Trocha slowly raised his right arm and saluted the tank that turned into a coffin while saying sonorously, "For "To take back Soviet Ukraine"
"To take back Soviet Ukraine" Wei Ran muttered to himself, and intense white light also filled his field of vision.
