Chapter 196: Counterattack

After knowing that Shulka was the "breakout hero", Major General Schroeder, of course, no longer doubted it.

"Unbelievable!" After a proper salute to Shulka, Major General Schroeder said: "If I had been told that I would lose at the hands of an ensign before that, I would have scoffed, but now ......"

"General!" Shulka replied: "It's not the rank that can decide the victory or defeat on the battlefield!" ”

"Yes, you're right!" Major General Schroeder couldn't help nodding, and when Shulka left, Major General Schroeder was still standing in place in a daze and didn't seem to come back to his senses.

Shulka didn't take it seriously.

He thought it was nothing more than a little curiosity on the part of the German officers...... They said that they wanted to meet the people who defeated them to pay respect, but in fact they were just proud and conceited people who did not want to admit their defeats, and they preferred that the Soviets would tell him: "We defeated you only because of luck, and there was no one to command."

So, when there is such a person standing in front of them, they are really defeated.

Shulka doesn't like to play this kind of game because it's not a good thing...... The captured officers will be devastated by this, and it will be difficult for them to survive the days of hard labor in Siberia.

The 4th Tank Brigade launched a counterattack like a steel knife against the Germans who had broken through the defensive line.

Due to the lack of preparation...... The Germans, of course, were unprepared, and they always thought that an armored division would be unstoppable in front of them.

Therefore, they were relieved to take the car and move forward on three wheels.

Although the German army's communication equipment was widespread, on the one hand, no one expected that an armored division would be defeated so quickly, and on the other hand, the radio was usually not turned on when marching.

So, when the T34 "Rumble" of the 4th Tank Brigade advanced along the railway, it was confronted by cars full of German soldiers, ammunition and gasoline.

At this time, the fight was lively, and with a "bang" of the tank, a car led by it was blown into the sky, and then the tracks "rattled and ran".

Three-wheeled vehicles, cars, armored cars, everything is in a mess, and I want to turn around but the road is not spacious enough and blocked.

Then there was a "sonorous" sound of steel crumbling, and the flesh and the car were crushed into a pile of waste.

The fast-moving German soldiers immediately abandoned their cars and armored vehicles and fled, but to no avail, as the Soviet infantry quickly poked their heads out of the flanks of the tanks and knocked them down one by one on the side of the road.

"Bang!" Shulka pulled the trigger and knocked a German officer to the ground.

Shulka noticed that the German officer wanted to throw explosives into the back of the car...... It was a whole car, and if it was allowed to succeed, the burning flames would likely cause a chain explosion and spread a lot of gasoline and burn everywhere, which would cause the railway to be temporarily blocked, and the rest of the German troops would have a chance to retreat.

Shulka's bullet stopped him, but he didn't die, and when he fell to the ground, he ignited the explosive pack, which could be seen from the green smoke coming from the pack.

The German officer was blown to pieces with a loud bang, his organs and limbs flew everywhere, and a foot in a boot flew near Shulka.

However, due to the distance from the car, the explosive pack only exploded and did not ignite the gasoline.

"Bang!" Shulka takes down a German machine gunner.

He lay under the chassis of the car, leaning against the wheels and hiding.

It was an MG42 machine gun, it was powerful, fast firing, high accuracy, and made a loud and hoarse sound when firing continuously, like the "whoosh" sound when the cloth was torn, so the Soviet soldiers gave it the nickname "Hitler Ripping Machine".

If he had fired his machine gun, a large number of Soviet soldiers would have been shot in the leg and disabled, including Shulka.

No one else noticed him, and Shulka didn't notice it until he saw the sunlight casting a little shadow as it passed through the chassis of the car...... Maybe the rain turned into snowflakes, but you can actually see a little sunshine.

Shulka didn't think much of it, and he pulled the trigger on the target while lying on the ground.

The actor ran up and fired another shot under the chassis to drag the German machine gunner out of it, and as soon as he turned it over, he shouted to Shulka: "Comrade company commander, hit the bull's eye!" ”

Shulka stepped forward to see that the bullet had passed through his eye, making a large hole in what was supposed to be his eyeball, and a large pile of white, red stuff flowed out of it, like vomit...... But Shulka knew it wasn't.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

This time, Shulka was knocked down by a fleeing German soldier.

He was not an important person, and he did not pose a threat to the Soviet army as before, if it was before...... Shulka is likely to hesitate before shooting.

But now, Shulka didn't think about it, it was like he was doing something very ordinary, raising his gun and pulling the trigger.

The target was shot in the back, causing him to swing his hands into the air and fall headlong to the ground.

When Shulka walked up to him, he found him alive, covered in blood, struggling on all fours, as if trying to get up and continue to escape.

He tilted his head to look at Shulka with difficulty, his eyes full of pain, fear, and a little begging...... Shulka put the muzzle of the gun at his head and solved his pain with a single bullet.

For quite some time after that, Shulka was thinking about this shot.

He seems to have become accustomed to this kind of killing, or rather, to stopping the enemy with a rifle and bullets...... It doesn't matter if they're sabotaging, hostile, or fleeing.

Yes, Shulka thought that at that moment he was actually trying to stop the other party, he should have shouted "Don't run, throw up your hands and surrender!" ”。

But Shulka didn't do that, and instead raised his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In a way, the rifle has become a form of power, and Shulka is using it to rid him of any enemies who disobey his will.

The German follow-up units were vulnerable in front of the T34, even if they had anti-tank guns in their hands...... The German anti-tank gun was actually modified from the tank gun, to be precise, the anti-tank gun was developed first, and then it was improved and transferred to the tank.

Therefore, its anti-tank gun range and armor-piercing performance are similar to those of tank guns, and they need to be at a distance of about 100 meters to pose a threat to the T34.

But a hundred meters...... Before they could reach that distance, Soviet tanks and mortars had blown them to pieces.

The Soviets had the advantage that they had captured a large number of cars and gasoline from the Germans, and the 333rd Regiment was soon transformed into a mechanized infantry regiment.
