About seven or eight kilometers away from the Pena River, there was a small town called Zivela.
The town was originally the headquarters of a rural cooperative nearby, managing fifteen farms within a radius of 30 kilometers.
Er Mao Region was an important granary of the Red Empire. The Great Plains of Eastern Europe was crucial to the Red Empire because it was the essence of the entire Red Empire. It was also the region with the highest population density and the most farms.
Although the Red Empire had a vast land of more than 25 million square kilometers, most of these lands were sparsely populated and had very harsh natural conditions, such as the vast Siberian Plains!
The temperature there was so low that crops could not survive at all. Therefore, there was a vast plain here, but it could not be cultivated to grow food. It could only be empty.
More than 80% of the Red Empire's population of more than 100 million were concentrated in Eastern Europe, from the west of Furyusko to the border of the country of Bo.
Because Mao Xiong's system was special, from the beginning of the five-year plan, heavy industry was placed in the first place.
As a result of the heavy industry, the light industry and agriculture could not be upgraded.
Although the main farms in the Red Empire had been mechanized as early as 1935, it did not bring about a large-scale harvest.
Therefore, from the establishment of the Red Empire until its collapse, the bear that was rooted on the world map was actually hungry most of the time...
……
Although this was once the location of the cooperative, it was also a gathering place for nearby food.
However, when the German army occupied this place, they did not find much food here.
This was very normal. After all, a year and a half ago, when the German army took down Jifu City and captured Er Mao, the population here was forcibly moved away by Mao Xiong!
Without a population, all agricultural production naturally stopped, so this place became empty!
"What a pity. It would be great if corn could be planted on such good black soil!”
A German soldier said with pity. He picked up a piece of black soil from the ground with his dagger and sniffed it.
"How fertile!"
His companion shrugged and said,"Isn't it good to be fertile? When we win this battle, this place will be our territory. Didn't the head of state say so? Use our swords to reclaim the land for our plows!”
This soldier seemed to admire the head of state very much. When he mentioned what the head of state had said, he stood up straight and kicked his heel hard, giving a beautiful military salute in the direction of his hometown.
"Yes, yes, that's right. The head of state is right. If we don't accept such fertile land, it would be a waste!”
The eyes of the soldier from before lit up, as if he no longer felt sorry for the land being abandoned!
"Look, what's that?"
Just as the two soldiers were chatting, a wheeled armored vehicle rushed over at high speed from the opposite hillside.
"It's a Scout!"
The two soldiers immediately recognized him. He was a scout who was on their side.
However, didn't they just go out not long ago?
Why are you back so soon?
"They are so fast!"
It was as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after the armored vehicle. Its speed was increased to the extreme. Wherever it went, thick black smoke was left behind. This was the result of insufficient fuel combustion.
The two of them were not bothered by this question for too long. Soon, they figured out why the armored vehicle was in such a hurry!
"Oh my god, what is that?”
"Enemy tanks! And there's more than one!"
In the distance, a group of Soviet tanks, like a dense swarm of ants, entered their line of sight!
"Quick, get in the car, the enemy is coming!”
Just as they were in a daze, the armored vehicle had already rushed past them. On the armored vehicle, a German soldier poked his body out and shouted anxiously at them!
The two tank soldiers looked at each other. The soldier who was fetching water threw the iron barrel in his hand to the side and grinned."Isn't it just nice that the enemy is here? Then what was he running for? Just beat him up!"
As he said that, he got into the tank. His companion, the soldier who had abandoned the land, had already gotten into the tank and started to turn the turret!
" Direction: Southeast!"
" Distance: 2500 meters!"
"Prepare an armor-piercing bullet!"
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
Boom!
A flame shot out from the barrel of the Tiger King Tank. The flame spread rapidly at the muzzle and exploded into a beautiful orange flower!
Although it was like an epiphyllum, it only lasted for a moment, but it left its mark on the world!
Boom!
The armor-piercing bullet flew out at a speed of 1120 meters per second. After 2.5 seconds of flight, it accurately hit a speeding Soviet tank!
This unlucky T34 was scrapped before it could even find the enemy!
The speeding Soviets were shocked by this shot. They had not discovered the enemy's existence at all. After all, they were still seven or eight kilometers away from the Pena River.
The rest of the German tanks were also shocked. When Gordian heard the sound of the cannon, he jumped up and looked in the direction of the explosion."Where do we shoot? Who's firing?"
After figuring out the situation, the tanks of both sides quickly moved and joined the battlefield!
This cannon shot kicked off the Battle of Zivela, and it became the topic of many military enthusiasts in the future!
