Jagged Germany

  The 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army, under the jurisdiction of the 12th and 15th Tank Corps, the 1st Guards Motorized Infantry Division, the 154th and 264th Infantry Divisions and the 179th Tank Brigade, the commander is Lieutenant General Romanenko.

  The Russian army in this time and space developed faster than the Soviet army in another time and space. Perhaps because of the greater threat from Germany, many troops were formed in advance. This also makes the Russian army in this time and space stronger. Of course, the strength of the Russian army they faced was also much stronger than that of the German army in another time and space.

  The headquarters of the 3rd Russian Tank Army is located in Mogilev, not far from the headquarters of the 3rd Russian Tank Army. When the German army dispatched armored forces to attack the Russian defense line, General Timoshenko, who was far away in Smolensk, immediately ordered the 3rd Tank Army to dispatch troops to stop the German armored forces. General Timoshenko knew very well that if the German armored forces could not be stopped, their defensive positions would not be able to withstand the attack of the German armored forces at all. Once the defense line is breached and a rout occurs, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to organize a strong force to stop the German attack. At that time, the Russian army will inevitably collapse thousands of miles. And Joseph will never let him go. Therefore, General Timoshenko gave Lieutenant General Romanenko an order, asking him to resist the German attack no matter what.

   Lieutenant General Romanenko also wanted to cry after receiving the order from General Timoshenko. The 3rd Tank Army has less than 700 tanks in total, which is less than half of the German 8th Panzer Army. Moreover, the performance of the tank cannot be compared with the German Tiger and Leopard tank. Deployed in front of the German 8th Panzer Army, there were only the 12th Tank Corps and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division, and there were only more than 300 tanks in total. Using these tanks to fight against the German army, what is the difference between that and the sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

   But Lieutenant General Romanenko had no choice but to order the 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division to attack. However, in order to fight for a chance, Lieutenant General Romanenko ordered the 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division to attack together to attack the 88th Armored Division under the German 8th Armored Army, not the 8th Armored Division. .

  The 88th Armored Division of the German Army also has more than 300 tanks, and the number of tanks on both sides is close. Of course, the gap between the T-28 medium tanks, T-26 light tanks, and BT-7 fast tanks equipped by the Russian army is undoubtedly very obvious compared with the German "Black Panther" tanks and "Tiger" tanks. Although, Bu Russia has also developed a heavy tank, code-named T-35 heavy tank. It's just that this kind of tank has not been mass-produced on a large scale. Including the prototype vehicle, there are only 61 vehicles in total, and there is no large-scale equipment unit at all.

  So, the main tanks of the Russian army are still T-28, T-26 and BT-7. As for the well-known T-34 tank, it is still under development and has not yet been finalized, let alone mass-produced on a large scale.

  After the 88th Armored Division of the German Army easily broke through an infantry position of the Russian Army, it ran into the 12th Russian Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division 20 kilometers southwest of Mogilev.

   "Order all units and prepare for battle. Pay attention to controlling the combat distance and destroy the enemy's tanks at a long distance!" Major General Heinrich, commander of the 88th Armored Division, ordered.

  The advantages of the German "Tiger Leopard" tanks lie in their powerful tank guns and armor, as well as advanced sighting equipment and the quality of armored soldiers. The T-28 medium tank of the Russian army weighs 27.8 tons and is equipped with a 16.5-caliber short-barreled 76.2mm tank gun and five 7.62mm machine guns. The frontal armor of the turret is only 50 mm, and the frontal armor of the hull is only 30 mm. This kind of defense is undoubtedly no different from that of paper in front of the Tiger and Leopard tanks of the German Army. At the same time, the short-barreled 76.2mm tank gun could not penetrate the armor of the German "Tiger Leopard" tank.

  The T-26 light tank weighs only a little more than ten tons. It is equipped with a 45mm tank gun with a caliber of 46 and two 7.62mm machine guns. The armor is very weak.

  BT-7 tank is slightly heavier, reaching 13 tons. It is equipped with a 45mm tank gun and adopts inclined armor, but the armor thickness is only 15mm.

  These Russian tanks are basically synonymous with thin skin and big filling in front of German tanks. It can be compared vividly. These Russian tanks are like the capital ships of the British Navy in the last world war. It is natural to imagine what the consequences will be when facing the fiercely fired capital ships of the German Navy. Got it.

   Moreover, because of the engine technology, the speed of these tanks of the Russian army is also much lower than that of the Tiger and Leopard tanks of the German army. Once the two sides go to war, they will not only be unable to defeat the German tiger and leopard tanks, but they will also be unable to escape.

   "Boom!"

  The engine of the tank roared, and tanks from both sides drove into the battlefield. A steel charge involving hundreds of tanks is about to start on this plain.

  Though, the number of tanks on both sides is roughly equal. However, there is no doubt that the Russian tank force is not an opponent of the German army at all.

   "At 12 o'clock, one thousand meters, one or two Russian T-28 tanks!" Inside a German "Tiger" tank, the commander issued an order.

  The 'Tiger' tank was on the move, its turret was rotating, aiming at the target that the commander said.

  The driver stepped on the brakes, the car body shook violently, and stopped. Due to inertia, the car body shook a bit.

   "Boom!"

   At this moment, the gunner pressed the launch button.

  An armor-piercing projectile, under the action of huge kinetic energy, roared and flew out of the barrel.

   Just a little more than a second later, the armor-piercing projectile hit the frontal armor of the Russian tank.

  There is only 30mm armor behind. In front of the 88mm armor-piercing projectile, it is no different from the paper paste, and it is pierced at once.

  Armor fragments flew at high speed inside the tank, easily killing all six crew members inside.

   Without the manipulation of the tank soldiers, the tank stopped suddenly.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The tanks of the German army found their targets one after another and started shooting.

   One after another Russian tanks were easily destroyed by German tanks. The two sides had just met, and the Russian army lost more than 30 tanks as soon as they fought, which stunned Major General Chekov, the commander of the 12th Russian tank army who was watching the battle in the rear.

   "Damn, how could the German tanks hit our tanks so accurately at such a long distance?" Major General Chekov couldn't help cursing.
