Jagged Germany

   "Comrade Commander, Comrade Marshal Voroshilov ordered us to wipe out the 88th Armored Division of the German Army!" Major General Rybalko, chief of staff of the Russian 3rd Tank Army, reported.

   "We wiped out the 88th Armored Division of the German Army? How is that possible?" Lieutenant General Romanenko, commander of the Russian Third Tank Army, looked shocked.

  Although, after the reconstruction of the 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army, it has jurisdiction over the 12th and 15th Tank Army, the 1st Guards Motorized Infantry Division, the 154th and 264th Infantry Divisions, and the 179th Tank Brigade. There are more than 600 tanks in total, which is already twice the number of tanks owned by the German 88th Armored Division.

  However, Lieutenant General Romanenko has no confidence in the complete annihilation of the 88th Armored Division of the German Army. He knew that if they fought against the German 88th Armored Division, they would be the ones who would be defeated in the end. The "Tiger" tanks and "Black Panther" tanks equipped by the German army were not something their tanks could handle. Even though, the 3rd Armored Division has replaced a brigade of T-34 tanks, a battalion of KV-2 tanks, and a battalion of KV-1 tanks.

"Comrade Commander, in addition to us, the 4th Tank Army will also participate in the attack. After we entangle the German 88th Armored Division, the 4th Tank Armored Division will launch an attack from the flank, and cooperate with us to wipe out the German 88th Armored Armored Division. Division." Major General Rebarco reported.

   Lieutenant General Romanenko thought about it, if this is the case, then he can try it. After all, the two tank armies add up to more than 1,200 tanks, which is more than four times the number of tanks owned by the German 88th Panzer Division. Even if the performance of the German tanks is more advanced, they can still be defeated if they encounter a siege. After all, the German tanks have strong defenses, which is also relative. Once the combat distance keeps getting closer, Russian tanks can also penetrate German tanks.

   "Command the troops, get ready to go!" Lieutenant General Romanenko gave the order.

   Facing the order from Marshal Voroshilov, Lieutenant General Romanenko had no way to refuse. If he disobeyed the order, he might be arrested immediately. The final result will definitely not be any better. Instead of that, it's better to fight. If you are lucky, you may be able to win a victory.

   "Yes, Comrade Commander!" Major General Rebalco immediately issued an order.

  The 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army set off from the station and rushed to the battlefield.

   At 9 am on April 17, the heavy tank battalion of the German 88th Armored Division encountered the 12th Tank Army under the Russian 3rd Tank Army. Although, the German heavy tank battalion is only equipped with more than fifty tanks. The number is only equivalent to a quarter of the 12th Russian tank army. However, the tanks equipped by the German heavy tank battalion are all "Tiger" heavy tanks.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  After the tanks of both sides met, they immediately launched an attack. Although the distance is more than one thousand meters, the advanced targeting equipment on the German "Tiger" tank can still easily aim at the Russian tank and get a hit.

  The 88mm tank gun is so powerful that it can still penetrate the armor of Russian tanks even at a distance of more than one kilometer. The BT-5 and T-26 tanks that rushed towards the German army were destroyed one after another.

   "Pay attention to maintaining speed, and try to destroy the Russian tanks at a long distance!" The battalion commander of the German heavy tank battalion ordered.

  Relying on advanced sighting equipment and powerful artillery, the German "Tiger" tank can destroy Russian tanks at a long distance. Under such circumstances, the German army would naturally not give up this advantage.

   And the tank troops of the Russian army naturally know this advantage of the German army. Therefore, the only thing they can do is to run at full speed and desperately shorten the combat distance between the two sides. In this way, their tank guns could destroy the German tanks. The 45mm tank gun of the BT-5 tank and the 45mm tank gun of the T-26 tank can only penetrate the armor of the German "Tiger Leopard" tank after the speed is shortened as much as possible. Moreover, in most cases, it can only be penetrated by hitting the flank or rear armor. In terms of frontal armor, the 45mm tank gun is powerless.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The German tanks kept firing, and one after another the Russian tanks were smashed into a pile of burning scrap iron.

   "God! Are the Russians really not afraid of death? Don't they know that their tanks are not our opponents at all?" A German commander said with a look of surprise.

  "The Russians are all lunatics, we can only be safe if we wipe them all out!"

   "Such a battle is too boring!"

   Indeed, the performance of the German "Tiger Leopard" tanks completely crushed the Russian BT-5 tanks and T-26 tanks. Using such advanced tanks to deal with these backward tanks of the Russian army can completely form a crushing advantage.

   "Boom!"

  A Russian BT-5 tank opened fire at a distance of 600 meters. An armor-piercing projectile hit the front armor of a German Tiger tank, making a scalp-numbing heavy impact sound.

"when!"

  When the sound sounded, the crew members in the tank all turned pale.

   "God! We were hit." Some armored soldiers shouted in horror.

   "Idiot, we have not been penetrated. Aim quickly, he is at your two o'clock direction. Don't give him a chance to fire a second shot!" The commander ordered angrily.

  The armor-piercing projectile fired by the BT-5 tank of the Russian army only left a shallow pit on the frontal armor of the "Tiger" tank. For the 'Tiger' tank, it is basically no threat at all.

  The tank gun of the 'Tiger' tank quickly rotated and aimed at the target.

  The driver immediately stepped on the brakes, and the tank stopped.

   In less than two seconds, the gunner fired the shell.

   "Boom!"

  The 88mm armor-piercing projectile penetrated the frontal armor of the BT-5 tank. Under the action of huge kinetic energy, the armor-piercing projectile easily penetrated the frontal armor of the BT-5 tank like a sharp knife cutting tofu. The fragments shot out in the narrow space inside the tank, killing all the tank soldiers inside.

   "God! We almost died. Pay attention, there is a T-26 at 11 o'clock, kill them!" The commander continued to issue orders.

  The heavy tank battalion of the German army has a small number of tanks, but it completely crushes a Russian tank army with more than 200 tanks. In front of the advanced "Tiger and Leopard" tanks of the German army, those BT-5 tanks and T-26 tanks were basically powerless to fight back. Under the bombardment of the tanks, those tanks are quickly turning into piles of scrap iron.
