Chapter 177 Chariot Trap

October 1941, 10, Mozhaisk Defense Line, 25 kilometers outside Moscow.

Colonel von Honack, commander of the Grossdeutschland Division, stepped his boots on the ruins of the Soviet Corps headquarters. The gunfire in the distance was no longer as frequent.

"Colonel, we have compressed all the remnants of the Soviet army into the eastern part of the town. It is only a matter of time before we wipe them out." The adjutant reported.

"A matter of time? Haven't they been completely wiped out yet?" The colonel frowned and pulled up the kid's leather gloves on his hands.

"Sir, the soldiers on the opposite side are very stubborn. They are fighting with us for every house. We estimate that there are at least 500-700 people on the opposite side. It will take another day to eliminate them all." The adjutant said nervously in the colonel's ear.

"Why is the number of people an estimate? And the fluctuation is so large. Can't you be sure of such simple information now?"

"Sorry, sir, the number is indeed an estimate, as we have not captured a single prisoner so far..." the adjutant said in a low voice, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

boom! ! ! !

As if to confirm his words, a house in the distance was collapsed by a bomb. The huge explosion swept in the surrounding German troops, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

On the east side of the town, several soldiers pulled their commander out from the bricks and tiles with their hands, just like digging a big potato out of the hard soil in Siberia.

To be honest, Vlalyushenko, covered in dust, actually looked a little funny at the moment, but no one around him could laugh.

Brushing off the dust on his body, the regiment commander looked at the soldiers around him. Two of his original three battalion commanders had died in the battle, and one of them was even acting as platoon leader.

Vlalyushenko looked at the watch, then at everyone else, picking up a PPSh in one hand. "It's 4:55 pm now. Five minutes later, the entire regiment will break out to the south. Let's rush out together."

Several battalion commanders nodded, with serious expressions on their faces.

Without any troop support, they had to cross the open plain area outside the town and reach the jungle hundreds of meters away. It was unknown how many of them would be alive in the end.

At 5: p.m., a red flare rose into the sky, and the tragic breakout of the remnants of the Soviet army began.

All remaining mortars were concentrated and bombarded the southern part of the town, opening a narrow passage for the infantry behind them.

Hundreds of Soviet soldiers, holding weapons and shouting "Ura", charged in one direction.

Puff puff puff!!!!!!

The German machine gun positions began firing, and the Soviet troops in the front fell down one after another like wheat being cut.

boom!
There was a crisp gunshot, and Tanya in the team knelt on one knee and raised her gun to shoot. The shooter on the heavy machine gun position was hit in the middle of the eyebrow and fell to the side.

Taking advantage of the brief pause in the machine gun's firing, some soldiers stood up and fired rifle grenades to cover their comrades behind them as they rushed out of the town.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !
The German mortars and grenade launchers began to blockade the fire.

Only about 300 Soviet soldiers rushed out of the town, and then the road behind them was cut off by German artillery fire, and the rest of the people were drowned in the artillery fire.

The following scenes almost made all Soviet soldiers despair.

On the plain a thousand meters away, at least 60 German tanks and armored vehicles of various types rumbled, their cold gun muzzles pointed towards here, while the woods were still several hundred meters away.

People can't outrun tracks.

Rumble, rumble~~~The armored vehicles and tanks started to move, and the steel behemoths approached the Soviet soldiers who only had light weapons.

Dang~dang~dang~
Ordinary bullets hit the tank's armor and flew out without exception, leaving no trace at all, while the tank at the front of the team had already begun to rotate its turret.

Is it really the end?
boom! ! ! ! !
A violent explosion sounded, but it did not happen on the Soviet side. In the German tank camp, a Type 4 tank opened fire for some reason, and it was aimed at the command vehicle in the cluster!

The tank in the front didn't understand what was happening yet, and an armor-piercing bullet shot directly into its thin rear armor, causing it to explode on the spot!
"What's going on?! What's going on?!"

"Was it a mistake?"

"Car No. 6! Car No. 6! Answer me! What's wrong with you?!"

The tank's communication channel was in chaos, and there was a very harsh German sentence
"Idiots, I'm leaving, bye!"

The Type 4 tank that had just fired suddenly broke away from the team and rushed in another direction, knocking over two armored vehicles on the road along the way.

He Chi was sitting in the driver's seat in the car, stepping on the accelerator while muttering, "Damn, if there were no loader, I would have called out all of you one by one!"

"It's a spy!" "Catch him!"

Being so humiliated, at least a quarter of the tanks could not bear it and turned around to give chase, while another part of the tanks blocked the route because they did not receive orders and were at a loss, causing the entire formation to fall into chaos.

"Bastard! Don't worry about that guy, eliminate the Soviet infantry first!" Seeing that there was a possibility of letting the enemy go, Colonel von Honaker picked up the walkie-talkie and cursed.

After receiving instructions from their superiors, the German tank troops began to reorganize their formation and restore order, but at this moment, the Type 4 tank that had already run away actually stopped.

Bang! The tank's cover was opened, and a wooden pole with something on it stretched out, shaking in the air.

It seems familiar.

"This is, this is, this is..." The adjutant put down the telescope, pointed at the thing opposite, and spoke stutteringly.

That's their division's flag!

The flag of the Great German Division was tossed around in the air like a tattered piece of sackcloth, with dirty mud marks on it.

All the German soldiers were stunned, and then became furious.

Being humiliated like this, Division Commander von Honack's eyes turned red. He picked up the walkie-talkie again and shouted, "Catch that bastard! Take back the flag! I'm going to tie him to the front armor plate and use him as a target!"

The German tanks began to turn around and rushed towards the Type 4 tank.

The shameless thief got into the tank again and ran away in one direction!
"Commander, it's the special envoy. There's an anti-tank minefield in that direction! He wants to lure the Germans over there!" Among the Soviet troops who had already reached the woods, the adjutant pointed at the Type 4 tank running wildly in front and shouted.

All the Soviet soldiers were moved. They did not expect that the special envoy, who had always been somewhat difficult to approach and even seemed a little cold, would do such a decisive thing.

Many people had sad looks on their faces, and some soldiers stood up and took off their hats to salute.

Tanya, on the other hand, seemed full of confidence, with no trace of sadness on her face.

100 meters, 50 meters, 10 meters!
The Type 4 tank rushed into the minefield first! Some soldiers closed their eyes.

But surprisingly, the Type 4 tank was completely unharmed and continued to accelerate forward.

More than fifty German tanks behind them swarmed in like hounds seeing a rabbit.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge explosion sounded, and the rising fireworks dyed the sky red.
