When they saw the German soldiers open fire, the Soviets couldn't help but laugh out loud!
The cannons were fired from more than 2,000 meters away. Were the Hans setting off fireworks to liven things up?
At this distance, did they not know how low their accuracy would be?
Even in normal shooting practice, it was quite difficult to accurately hit a stationary target from a distance of 2,000 meters. It was already very good to have a hit rate of 30%(the standard for the Soviets was 50% for the German army).
Not to mention a moving target!
Moreover, the German tanks were also moving!
So now, it became a moving German tank attacking a moving Soviet tank!
The situation was much more complicated than a stationary target practice!
It was no wonder that the Soviets mocked the German army in their hearts. In their opinion, it would be good if they could hit 1% in this situation!
The German army did not seem to have many tanks, only about 400 of them. A 1% hit rate could at most destroy three or four of their tanks!
The Soviets had 4,000 tanks!
The loss of three or four tanks was nothing. The Soviets themselves did not even care!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannonballs flew in the air for a very short time. In less than two seconds, the flying cannonballs had already exploded in the midst of the Soviet tank group!
A series of explosions rang out in the middle of the tanks, and a large amount of smoke rose.
More than 50 tanks were hit in the area covered by the bullet screen!
The Soviets were clearly unprepared for this. No one in the entire army had expected them to suffer such heavy losses!
With more than 50 tanks, this meant that the enemy's hit rate actually exceeded 10%. This hit rate was already very close to the hit rate in normal battles!
And as the distance between them got closer, the German army's hit rate would definitely continue to rise!
If they didn't do anything and let the enemy shoot at them calmly, they would have to pay a heavy price before they could take over that hill!
The Soviets couldn't take it anymore!
Therefore, regardless of whether their main cannons could hit the enemy at this distance, they would fire first!
If they continued to be passively beaten, their morale would collapse!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The counterattack of the Soviets was much more spectacular than the one of the German troops!
The densely packed shells made a sharp whistling sound in the air, streaking across a straight line and flying into the German formation!
Ding! Ding!
Although the accuracy of the Soviets was terrible, because they had too many tanks, there were still many shells that hit the target.
However, just as the Soviets opened their arms and were about to celebrate, they were surprised to find that the German tanks that were hit only paused for a moment when they were hit. Then, they quickly returned to normal and resumed moving forward!
What, what was going on?
The Soviet soldiers widened their eyes, wanting to take a closer look!
The German tanks were not affected at all, except for a slight dent where they had been hit and a bullet mark left behind by the shell.
It was not pierced through, there was no smoke, and it was not scrapped!
This was a ricochet!
After understanding the situation, the Soviets hugged their heads in frustration, as if they could not accept this outcome!
It was already very difficult for them to hit the target. In the end, they hit the target but failed to penetrate the target's armor. This was too unlucky and it hurt morale too much!
Many of the Soviets on the battlefield found it hard to accept this scene. While they were frustrated, their morale dropped significantly!
Opposite them, when the Soviets launched this round of bombardment, the German army was actually very nervous!
After all, who could remain calm in the face of a barrage of artillery shells?
However, when the bombardment ended, the German soldiers poked their heads out of the tanks and were instantly amused!
The bombardment of the Soviets had little effect on them, and not a single tank was destroyed!
Although the German army had lost five tanks, they only had their tracks damaged. As long as they were repaired, they could still run and fight. Of course, repairing their tracks was not possible at this time, so these five tanks were considered to have withdrawn from the battlefield.
Even so, there were still no existences that were directly destroyed on the battlefield. Not a single one!
This result raised the morale of the German soldiers by a large margin. The soldiers immediately felt a great sense of security!
They realized that the enemy's shots would hardly pose a threat to them at this distance, so they would have a psychological advantage for a long time.
Gordian was also very happy. When he received the latest tank, he saw the outstanding advantages of this tank at a glance!
Powerful firepower!
The defensive power was outstanding!
These two advantages were simply too important for armored soldiers!
It was just like the spears and shields used by gladiators in ancient arenas!
Only with the sharpest spear could one easily tear through the enemy's defense!
Only with the strongest shield could he protect himself!
And the Tiger King Tank was the combination of these two advantages, which was why it could be called the most powerful tank of this era!
Having 800 of these powerful tanks was Gordian's greatest confidence!
After the Soviets fired, the German army quickly counterattacked!
Although the first shot had already caused a lot of shock to the Soviets, the German army was still not satisfied!
Their advance was too great, but the tanks of the Soviets did not manage to reach their positions, causing many of their shells to miss!
And this time, after learning their lesson, the German army reduced their advance and once again maintained the same firepower density!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of intensive cannon sounds rang out. The thick smoke was so stimulating that people could not open their eyes.
The soldiers hurriedly waved their hands, trying to drive away the smoke in front of them. Many anxious people did not even have time to drive away the smoke. They could not wait to look into the distance, wanting to confirm the results of their bombardment!
These soldiers quickly smiled. It seemed that the results of the battle must have satisfied them!
