The Soviets captured not only cars and supplies from the Germans, but also armored vehicles, barrel trucks and even a dozen tanks.

It was rare to capture tanks from the Germans.

This was partly due to the fact that the Germans would always blow up the equipment before surrendering.

On the other hand, it was because the Germans were on the offensive most of the time...... In addition to the advantages stated by the Germans' "theory of offensive superiority", there is actually an advantage in terms of trophies.

Troops on the offensive do not need to worry that their faulty equipment will fall into the hands of the enemy, because the troops in front are always advancing, the enemy is always retreating, and the faulty equipment can be slowly repaired in the rear.

The retreating troops were not so lucky, and their fronts were constantly retreating, or they could be said to be fleeing.

Then, once the equipment fails, it needs to be repaired...... The first thing you have to do is figure it out and get away with it before the enemy catches up.

Otherwise, don't think about it and blow it up so as not to leave it to the enemy.

A considerable part of the equipment of the Soviet army was blown up in this situation.

However, as the so-called "feng shui takes turns", the Germans never expected that they would suddenly become the retreating side.

As a result, the Germans, accustomed to not blowing up faulty equipment, but leaving them to repair slowly in the rear or even on the side of the road, suffered a loss......

Shulka and his men captured three tanks on the side of the road, two "Three" and one "Two".

The German mechanic and the tank crew were chatting while repairing the tank, or discussing the failure of the tank, but it didn't matter.

The important thing is that when Shulka and the others drove up to them, they still didn't notice anything unusual...... Maybe they were too focused on repairing tanks, or maybe Shulka and the others were riding in German cars and armored vehicles.

This was actually deliberately done by Major Gavrilov, because he believed that the vanguard might have unintended results if they used all German-style equipment.

It turned out that Major Gavrilov was right.

The car stopped next to the tank, and then the German tank men looked at the Russian soldiers who jumped out of the car in a daze...... At first, they even thought that these prisoners in Russian uniforms were evacuated captives, until they realized that these "captives" had guns in their hands and their eyes were full of murder.

They tried to get their guns, but it was too late, because the muzzles of black holes had already been put on their heads and they were all disarmed.

The funny thing is that there is also a mechanic under the tank, who doesn't know what's going on outside, and still complains about the chassis while repairing the tank.

The thief stepped forward and kicked his exposed foot, and the mechanic cursed, although he couldn't understand the German Shulka spoken, but he could vaguely guess it: "Don't bother me, it's almost all right!" Something like that.

The Soviet soldiers burst into laughter, and then the mechanic realized that something was wrong and slowly got out of the chassis to take a look...... I don't know when the outside was already full of Soviet soldiers, and their own people were all under control.

"Go on!" Shulka said to the group of Germans in English: "Until the tanks are repaired, if anything the hell is done...... I can't guarantee what my men will do with you! ”

A group of disarmed German mechanics could only continue their work until the tanks were opened.

Then, the Soviets even drove German tanks to explore the way.

This is even more unaware...... The personnel were all hiding in the tanks, and it was impossible to see who was inside from the outside.

As a result, more and more tanks were captured, and by the time the 4th Tank Brigade arrived in Klin, it already had 18 German tanks, and the Soviets drove them into Kling with a swagger.

Kling's German troops, however, received the news and were ready for battle.

After all, Kling was different from the rest of the German army that was marching forward, where the Germans had a divisional headquarters and where the SS Einsatzgruppen took over policing and raiding the city.

A telegram and they knew that a Soviet army was attacking Klin.

The Germans even sent reconnaissance planes and even an air force to bomb the 4th Tank Brigade on the railroad...... As visibility increased, the Luftwaffe also became active.

But of course, the weather was not good enough to bomb the tanks without any obstacles, especially since the tanks on the ground had a method of camouflage: they stopped the enemy aircraft at a distance and covered the tanks with canvas...... Looking down from the sky, it is difficult to find the location of the tank.

However, none of this is the point.

The point is that the Soviets drove German tanks and armored vehicles into the improvised Kling Line of the German army, and the Germans had no intention of blocking it...... They thought that these were the defeated units of the German army.

After all, there was an armored division ahead, and it was normal for a dozen tanks and a dozen armored vehicles to escape back.

The sentries even saluted the tanks after removing the barricades for them.

So the Germans were tragic.

Tanks and armored vehicles rushed into the German lines and immediately rushed at full speed.

Machine guns fired everywhere, knocking the German soldiers in the trenches with their backs to them to the ground in pieces.

Shells were fired one after another, blowing up the German artillery positions and anti-tank gun positions into the sky one by one, and the entire defense line was thrown into chaos.

Then, when the Soviet T34 tank appeared on the other end of the railway...... The German lines had collapsed.

Shulka did not take part in the battle, he was an infantryman, and it should have been the task of tank crews to storm enemy positions with tanks and armored vehicles.

Shulka saw only patches of corpses lying on the German positions, as well as various discarded machine guns, anti-tank guns and howitzers.

These anti-tank guns and howitzers were either blown to parts, or they were staggered or even twisted by tanks.

Of course, there are corpses and blood in different postures next to them.

The Germans had a chance to hold off the 4th Soviet tank brigade.

Because the position they chose was very suitable for a defensive battle...... In addition to a railway, which was flanked by farmland and vegetable fields, the Germans first opened irrigation canals to make it a swamp, and they even planted anti-tank mines in it.

Then, there was a howitzer battalion on each side of the railway, and the muzzles were aimed at the railway.

ANTI-TANK GUNS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PENETRATE THE T34, BUT LARGE-CALIBER HOWITZERS ARE NOT: IF A 105MM CALIBER SHELL HITS A TANK DIRECTLY, IT CAN STUN THE TANK CREW TO DEATH EVEN IF IT CANNOT PENETRATE THE ARMOR.

The mistake of the Germans was that they should not trust what they saw with their eyes: the tanks were indeed German tanks, but the people driving the tanks were not necessarily Germans.
