Between tanks and anti-tank guns, most people's first instinct is to attack the tank first rather than the anti-tank gun later, as the instructor does.

In general, there is nothing wrong with such a choice, because tanks always threaten larger equipment.

But that's not the case now:

The tanks of both sides are powerless against each other, that is, the tanks are no longer the biggest threat, on the contrary, the biggest threat is the anti-tank guns hiding behind them.

If, as the instructor said, attack the tank first...... Even if the tank has been destroyed, the subsequent anti-tank guns can still be manually maneuvered to attack under the cover of the tank wreckage, and even at this time, it is difficult for the bazooka to accurately hit the target because of the smoke.

But now that's not the case, the bazooka shooter just needs to aim at the tank's position and wait for it to get out of the way.

Sure enough, after waiting for a few more seconds, the "No. 3" tank "rattled and rattled" out of its gun position, and a thick and long anti-tank gun barrel was exposed.

The German artillerymen were even ready to shoot, they only needed to adjust their muzzles slightly to aim at the Matilda tanks and fire.

But they were still a step too late.

"Fire!" Shulka ordered.

There were a few "whoosh" sounds, and a total of four rockets on both sides of the street went straight to the anti-tank guns with a whistling sound.

The bazooka shooters were only 70 meters away from the anti-tank guns, and the emphasis was on them hiding in the building and firing them from fixed points such as sandbags and windowsills, which was essentially different from shoulder-mounted firing on a tense battlefield.

So two of the four rockets hit.

The rocket hit the shield of the anti-tank gun, and from the front, the anti-tank gun is a gun shield in addition to the barrel, so the hit can only hit the gun shield.

The thickness of the gun shield is usually only a dozen millimeters, which is used to protect against bullets and shrapnel, and of course it cannot stop the armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate the armor of hundreds of millimeters of tank armor at every turn.

I only heard two "booms", and then the screams followed...... The high-temperature, high-pressure jets of rockets were sprayed through the gun shields to the German anti-tank gunners gathered in a heap in the rear.

Needless to say, someone must have been hit or burned by the jet.

After the war, Shulka saw their miserable scene, and his whole body was like rotten, one black here and one black there.

Of course, it wasn't really "rotten", but the high-temperature and high-pressure jets that spread out like a fountain after passing through the cannon shield...... This is like a situation where a faucet is plugged, if you slowly increase the water pressure, the plug that blocked the faucet can't withstand the pressure and suddenly pops open, and the water will rush out and splash around irregularly.

The only difference is that the German soldiers were subjected to the high-temperature, high-pressure metal jets, which splashed on their bodies, did not taste pleasant, and what was more painful was that a considerable part of them struggled for a while before dying because they were not hit by the vital point.

The two rockets that missed the hit flew straight around the corner and exploded, injuring several German soldiers with fragments and debris.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that the anti-tank gun is no longer usable.

It was only then that the "No. 3" tank sensed the danger, and it hurriedly adjusted its gun muzzle to find a target.

If the "No. 3" tank can accurately and quickly find the target and fire grenades, to be honest, it will still cause some casualties to the Soviet troops in the building.

The problem is that it is very difficult to do, the tank only has a viewing hole to observe the outside world, and it is difficult to find even anti-tank guns on an open battlefield, let alone in a city where there are buildings everywhere and there are blind spots everywhere.

It clumsily adjusted its muzzle, and in a hurry fired a shell that blew a building into shrapnel.

Shulka, however, knew that the No. 3 tank had not found its target at all, because it had only two observers on the building it had attacked.

The "three" tank adjusted its muzzle and continued to attack, but it was already too late.

After a few whistling sounds, a cloud of black smoke rose from the "No. 3" tank...... Black smoke came out of the tank compartment, which was a sign that the tank had been penetrated.

As soon as the tanks and anti-tank guns were destroyed, the German offensive was blocked.

The Germans tried several times to charge with infantry, but there was no doubt that any charge was pointless with the enemy on both sides of the street and tanks in the middle.

Similar battles were going on in other directions in Tver, but in some ways the German PAK40s succeeded, that is, they used this method to destroy the Matilda tanks in the middle of the street.

But the "Matilda" tank is not the point.

The Germans tried to use the cover of the tanks to launch a strong attack, but each time the strong attack ended in the tank being destroyed by the bazooka...... The bazooka is impossible to defend itself in street fighting, and houses, ruins, and even a crater or wall can be its hiding place.

It only needs two people to cooperate to run around, and it can destroy the tank in a minute at any time, and it can be transferred immediately after the fight, which is very flexible.

Tanks, on the other hand, have to move along the streets, clumsily looking for targets, and even taller buildings are unable to attack beyond their firing angles.

The commander of the 6th Armored Division, Lucas, only then understood the point of the problem.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Lucas reported to Kubil: "It's not a problem with the enemy's tanks, I even believe that they will be able to hold off our attack even without tanks...... This new equipment of the enemy is terrible, and our tank is like a target in front of them, a moving target. Our tank crews can't even feel their presence! ”

"What do you mean?"

"The tankmen were hit and killed before they were found!"

"Anyway, find a way to deal with it!" Kubil ordered: "You know the importance of the Tver Bridge! ”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

This is obviously a difficult problem for Major General Lucas.

The bazooka, of course, is not a panacea, it also has drawbacks, that is, short range and poor accuracy.

According to this shortcoming, armored units should fight them in the open field with good visibility, and street fighting makes up for this shortcoming.

Therefore, Kubil's command to "find a way to deal with it" makes no sense...... Because the way to deal with it is not to fight in the streets, and if you insist on using tanks and bazookas to fight in the streets, it can be said that there is no solution, that is to attack the other with the shortest.

But of course, Kubil doesn't need to think about it.

Lucas held an emergency meeting to discuss it with his subordinates, but no one could find a solution.

In desperation, Lucas could only say: "We can only try to attack after it gets dark, hoping that the enemy's new equipment will not be able to exert such terrifying combat power at night!" ”
