"Comrade Commander, the 12th Tank Corps requests reinforcements. They encountered a German heavy tank battalion, and the troops suffered heavy losses!" reported a staff officer.


    Lieutenant General Romanenko couldn''t help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Although the 12th Tank Army was not the most powerful unit under the 3rd Tank Army, a German tank battalion caused heavy losses to the tank army. It can be seen how powerful the German armored forces are, and the next battle will undoubtedly be more difficult. It is undoubtedly more difficult to defeat the German armored forces.


    "Order the 15th Tank Army, the 179th Tank Brigade, to go into battle! No matter what, we must entangle the Germans." Lieutenant General Romanenko ordered.


    The battle has already begun, and now it is impossible to get out of the battle. The only thing they can do is to continue to carry out the mission and hope that their battle n will be sessful.


    "Yes, Comrade Commander!"


    The 179th Brigade of Russian Tanks is a unit that has been reced with T-34 tanks. There are 70 tanks in the brigade, all of which are T-34 tanks that have just been produced. Even though the tank is nothing more than a medium tank, it performs quite well. In other words, the performance in all aspects is very bnced. Although the body armor is only 45 mm behind, the inclination angle reaches 60 degrees, which greatly improves the armor performance of the tank to a certain extent. The frontal armor of the curved turret also has 52 mm. This kind of defense is naturally iparable with the German tiger and leopard tanks. The 76.2mm tank gun is also quite powerful. However, Russia is developing and preparing to rece the T-34 tank with an 85mm tank gun so that this tank can have more powerful firepower.


    The small body carries the cannon, which is undoubtedly one of the main ideas of Russian tanks. Unlike German tanks, which value defense, Russian tanks put firepower first. This makes the survivability of Russian tanks on the battlefield very low, and once they are hit, they are often destroyed directly. Unlike German tanks, they have thick armor. If thebat distance is not too close, they will not be pierced through the armor, so they can survive the cruel battlefield.


    The reason why the T-34 tank is called the greatest tank is because the manufacturing process of this tank has been simplified and can be mass-produced on arge scale. This is why in just a few years, Russia in another time and space was able to produce tens of thousands of such tanks. Even in this time and space, Russia''s industry was severely damaged by the strategic bombing of the German airspace. However, there is still no problem in producing 500 T-34 tanks a month. It''s just that due to time constraints, the tank troops of the Russian army cannot equip too many T-34 tanks, and can only rece a very small number of troops with this new type of tank. Other troops are still equipped with T-26 tanks and BT-5 tanks. It''s just that the performance of these two tanks is indeed too bad, so Russia has stopped producing these two tanks and turned to full production of T-34 tanks.


    In addition, the tank code-named IS is also under intensive development. After possessing a light tank such as the T-34 tank, Russia also hopes to have a heavy tank that can trulypete with the German "Tiger" tank. However, because the research and development time is toote, it will take a long time to equip the troops.


    After Lieutenant General Romanenko gave the order, the 15th Russian Tank Army and the 179th Tank Brigade entered the battle one after another. At the same time, Lieutenant General Romanenko also urged the 4th Tank Army to get them into the battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the 3rd Tank Army suffered heavy losses, they would not be able to deal with the Germans alone.


    "Attention allpanies, the Russian reinforcements areing. Reverse, get out of contact with them, and increase the distance!" The German heavy tank battalionmander issued an order after discovering that the Russian reinforcements had arrived on the battlefield.


    On the battlefield, the German "Tiger" tanks began to reverse one after another in order to maintain abat distance. Destroy Russian tanks while ensuring your own safety.


    "Speed ??up and rush up. As long as we can fight with the Germans, we will win!" Themander of the 12th Russian Tank Corps ordered. Although they have lost half of their tanks, the entire tank army is still fighting desperately.


    The 15th Russian Tank Army and the 179th Tank Brigade finally arrived on the battlefield. The 15th Tank Armyunched an attack from the front to cooperate with the 12th Tank Army, while the 70 T-34 tanks of the 179th Tank Brigade attacked from the side.


    "Boom!"


    A retreating ''Tiger'' tank shook violently. Then, the whole tank burst into mes. The armored soldier covered in fire crawled out of the tank and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on his body.


    This ''Tiger'' tank, although the armor is very thick. However, that refers to the frontal armor. The side and rear armor is much weaker than the frontal armor. A T-34 tank, at a distance of 600 meters, used a 76.2 mm tank gun to prate the side armor of this ''Tiger'' tank.


    "My God! There''s a Russian tank on the left too. It''s a new tank we haven''t seen!"


    "That''s a T-34 tank! We have already obtained information about this tank before!"


    "Turn, you can''t face this kind of tank with the side, their 76.2mm tank gun can destroy our side armor!"


    After the 179th Tank Brigade of the Russian Army appeared on the battlefield, the heavy tank battalion of the German 88th Armored Division was caught off guard, and several ''Tiger'' tanks were pierced through the side armor.


    The Russian army also discovered this situation and cheered. It seemed that they were about to win.


    However, the German heavy tank battalion immediately adjusted its formation, facing the 179th Russian tank brigade head-on. Although the power of the 76.2mm tank gun is not weak, it cannot prate the frontal armor of the "Tiger" tank. On the contrary, it was destroyed a lot by the "Tiger" tank with an 88mm tank gun.


    The battle became more intense. After the two tank corps and one tank brigade of the Russian 3rd Tank Army joined the battle, the heavy tank battalion of the German 88th Armored Division could only speed up its retreat. If they are caught up by the Russian tank troops, they will definitely be wiped out.


    However, the German heavy tank battalion was not without reinforcements. In less than ten minutes, the 881st Tank Regiment arrived on the battlefield. Two tank battalions and one armored battalion went into battle. More than a hundred "ck Panther" tanks were put into battle. Although the performance of the "ck Panther" tank is weaker than that of the "Tiger" tank, it can still crush the Russian tanks.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    As the German tanks opened fire, Russian tanks were destroyed one after another, not only the T-26 tanks and BT-5 tanks were destroyed, those T-34 tanks were also smashed into piles of scrap iron .
