"Yes, the battle is in progress near Michael's Church. The Soviets seemed to have no intention of giving up here easily. They mobilized tanks and a large number of infantry, and used the familiar terrain and dead corners of buildings to launch a fierce counterattack on our army." General Karikv, the commander of the German 82 Infantry Army, was actually a very excellent infantry commander. If it weren't for following Kluge, who had been exerting force late, he wouldn't have been a lieutenant general.

In terms of the background, he and General Friedric, a famous German general who also commanded the infantry, were classmates of the same period. In terms of his attainment in commanding infantry operations, he was no less than General Friedric. General Friedric, who followed Rommel to sweep North Africa, was already the third-ranked figure of the African Legion and was already in the rank of general, but Karikf had become a pitiful lieutenant general in the F Army.

He was already holding back an unknown karma fire, but now even the Soviet soldiers who were chased by him began to cause trouble for him. How could this not make Karikv, who had nowhere to vent his anger? So he grabbed the phone and asked his boss Kluge to support him and allocate the artillery directly under the army to him, so that he had a more absolute firepower advantage in the battle to attack the Angel Michael Cathedral.

At this moment, Karikf was grabbing the phone and asked Kluge of the Group Army Command in a hurry: "His Excellency Marshal! The front-line troops have a very high enthusiasm for attacking. Please support me with an ammunition base. I promise to capture Michael's Church and stabilize the defense line!"

On the other side of the phone, Marshal Kluge was actually very embarrassed. He wanted to support his subordinates to continue the attack, but now there are not many spare shells left in his hands. You should know that the large-caliber shells Germans have very limited reserves, and most of them are strange ways of origin, so it is not easy to add them.

First of all, some of the train guns in the hands of the German army came from captured French train guns. These train guns could only consume France's inventory. Originally, France's inventory was sufficient, enough for the Germans to squander for a while. Unfortunately, the Germans fired in Stalingrad a little too indulgent, which led to the reserve ammunition of these French train guns becoming tense.

The large-caliber artillery produced by the Germans have only been equipped one after another in recent months. If it is said that the inventory is not much, it really cannot withstand the unlimited consumption of the German troops. Whether it is French or German train guns, plus those large-caliber towed guns, each gun is actually real money. If you shoot one shot, you can get hundreds of kilograms or even a ton of various metals and chemicals. The cost of a round of artillery can definitely be considered expensive.

Moreover, a while ago, the Germans and the Soviets fought artillery outside Moscow. In order to suppress the Soviet artillery and exert their own momentum, the German artillery consumed a large amount of ammunition inventory. Replenishing these ammunition required a large amount of railway transportation capacity. Kluge was a little worried that if he continued to consume this, his troops would have difficulty in supplying.

Under such concerns, Klug was a little unwilling to let his troops be consumed. He was more willing to wait for Marshal Lundstedt's A-G Army, Liszt's E-G Army and Guderian's G Army to arrive at the designated location, and then encircle Moscow and disperse the defensive forces deployed in the front of the Moscow defense zone before launching an attack.

However, he knew that if he denied the requirements of the front-line generals at this time, it would be a very morale-harm behavior. So he gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed to Karikoff's attack request: "In ten minutes, I will order the artillery to attack the designated position. The artillery only has two rounds. You can grasp the rest yourself!"

"Thank you, Marshal! I promise to capture the church and put the flag of the empire on it!" On the other side of the phone, General Karikf was already very excited. His cheerful voice could be heard clearly even through the long telephone line. The head of state who had just been promoted to Marshal smiled and put down the phone, and then deployed the mission of shelling for a while.

On the German defending positions not far from the Angel Migale Church, a medium-sized trailer was placing the damaged leopard tank on the equipment used for dragging. Several German engineers commanded the vehicle to slowly back and took out a road to pass for other equipment. Next to the dragged leopard tank, next to the two late Tiger King tanks, several armored commanders were confirming their mission for the last time.

The German armored troops never had the habit of being passively beaten. After they achieved all the impressive results, they had no reason to be beaten and not get it back. Soon the two tiger king tanks rushed over, and a new round of attack orders came with them.

"It's still the original combat plan. The Tiger King tank replaced the original Leopard tank and rushed across the intersection first. If the Soviet Stalin tank fires, then the Tiger King tank will stop and fight back. The second Tiger King rushed out from behind the Tiger King to disrupt the enemy and destroy the Stalin tank!" After the leader of the Tiger King chariot said the mission, he jumped onto his own tank. The slender gun barrel of the Tiger King tank was covered with white record marks. Obviously, he is also an ace chariot commander with a record of at least 40.

Another tank looked a little shabby when following the tank, but it also had the record of more than a dozen tanks, so it was obviously not a novice rookie. The two tanks began to start one after another, and black exhaust gas sprayed out from the exhaust barrel at the rear and filled the air.

A minute later, the direct-governed artillery position of the group army finally began to roar, and the momentum of swallowing the sky and the earth drowned the Soviet Union's counterattack that was not as good as the weather. The streets and buildings near the Angels Cathedral underwent another destruction and baptism, and one after another collapsed in the explosion.

The Soviet defenders lived in the ruins, rubble, thick smoke and shrapnel. Broken glass flew everywhere, crackling on stones and cement. Such a large-scale shelling turned this place into hell. Fortunately, it seemed that the Germans did not intend to razed the place to the ground, so this round of shelling only lasted for a short time and calmed down.

Just when the glory of the Soviet defenders inside the church had not yet passed, the German gunshots rang out immediately. Another round of attacks began, and another round of fighting was about to come. The competition at the intersection once again became the focus of the competition between the two sides. The right to ownership here determines whose property the Migale Cathedral, which was ruined in a corner, would become.

In the Soviet tank, the cannon stared at the dangerous intersection with concentration. When the next second came, his pupils instantly narrowed because they saw something that surprised him. In his sight, a German tiger king tank rushed out of the corner, revealing the terrifyingly heavy armor directly in front of it.

"Tiger King Tank!" The Soviet gunman roared and reminded his companions, and then stepped on the firing pedal without hesitation. The 122mm caliber cannon sprayed thick smoke and a deadly shell, and it crashed into the German Tiger King tank at the intersection of the street in the distance.

"Bang!" The Tiger King tank seemed to be hit by a hammer, and the entire body swayed slightly. However, everyone in the tank knew that their armor was not penetrated, and they were just hit hard by someone. They stopped the car and started aiming, with skillful movements and extremely fast speed.

The Soviets were a little frigid. After all, their loading hands had to bend down to pick up another part of the shells to load the shells, which was really crazy. However, in order to deal with the German armor advantages, they could only use this firepower system that was always half a beat slower at critical moments. Just as they were loading, the Soviet gunner saw another tiger king rushing out of the street and rushed out from behind the parked tiger king!

"Two Tiger Kings! Retreat! Retreat!" Before the Soviet gunman shouted, the captain of the Stalin tank screamed in surprise and ordered his driver to reverse and run away quickly. After all, the Tiger King tank is too targeted at Stalin tanks, especially the heavy front armor of the Tiger King tank, which is really a nightmare for Stalin tanks.

Before the Stalin tank could retreat one meter away, the main gun of the first Tiger King tank spewed out a thick stream of smoke. Then the sandbags and iron plates tied to the front armor of the Stalin tank were scattered like an explosion, and they were crushed and knocked down the surrounding Soviet infantry that were retreating.

These things were to strengthen the armor of Stalin tanks. The debris temporarily piled up, including sandbags and iron plates welded to hold sandbags. Obviously, they played a certain role. The shells of the first Tiger King tank were indeed unable to penetrate these fragments. But before the Soviet crew could even be glad, the shells of the second German Tiger King tank hit the armor of the Soviet tank again.

"Boom!" The dust filled the air. After shaking twice, the Soviet tank finally stopped on the side of the road and stopped moving. The flames jumped out of the gap in the tank. The Soviet soldiers who were rescuing wounded friendly troops around him began to defeat him desperately after seeing this situation.

German tanks began to advance slowly, and a large number of German infantry followed behind the tanks and groped forward carefully. Some soldiers began to rush into the ruins of buildings on both sides, and the Germans finally opened up at this intersection. ——
