The Germans suffered heavy losses in this battle, only two of the seven "No. 3 assault guns" escaped, and another 8 tanks escaped with wounded...... They were all blasted with varying degrees of severity, but escaped by narrowly missing the vital point.

Major Müller immediately abandoned his command vehicle and fled.

This is a clever approach, because in this case the tank will not only not be a war machine, but will also become a target and a burden for the enemy...... The enemy and the enemy soldiers were in the smoke and could not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and they would even be blocked by their own people.

Just like the few tanks that escaped, the tracks were covered with rags and meat puree, and no one knew how many soldiers had escaped after running over.

Major Müller at least methodically had his men throw a grenade into the tank compartment to blow it up before escaping, and some of the German tank crews didn't even have time to do so in a panic.

So, the Soviets even captured two tanks and drove them back...... The members of the 333rd Regiment are very complex, they are a mixture of the remaining personnel of the Brest Fortress, there are artillerymen, medical soldiers, and of course, tank troops, but most of these tank crews are tank crews without tanks, and their tanks are repaired in the fortress before the war, and once repaired, they will be driven out to join the main force for summer training.

Of course, after the German attack, they simply did not have a chance to drive tanks into battle.

Unexpectedly, at this time, they found an opportunity...... Tankmen are always sensitive to tanks that can be fired, and they will find those tanks that are likely to be used in the first place.

It's not that difficult to say, if there is no smoke or fire, and then there are a few corpses of enemy tankmen hanging next to it, it is very likely that it is a tank that can move.

The reason is simple, the presence of the corpses of enemy tank crews hanging next to them means that they have just crawled out and have been killed, which means that they simply do not have time to blow up their own tanks.

Soon, the two tanks "rumbled" and headed for the Soviet pillboxes.

To be exact, it should be three, but the Soviet soldiers had no experience, and as soon as they found out that there were still tanks moving in the confusion, they took it for granted that they were enemy tanks, and then they carried grenades on board, and one of the captured tanks was destroyed in their own hands.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but the track was blown off, which just angered the Soviet tank crews, and they came out and wanted to scold, but the next second the scolding was frightened back by a shuttle of bullets...... The Soviet soldiers thought that they were also Germans, and waited outside with submachine guns waiting for the people inside to come up.

"You bastards!" The tankmen shouted: "It's your own people!" Our captured tanks, our tanks...... Look at the good work you have done! ”

Only then did the Soviet soldiers realize that there had been a misunderstanding.

But the Soviets usually don't admit their mistakes at this time, and a few of the infantry who bombed the tank retorted menacingly: "Don't you want to die?" Drove the German tanks towards our lines......"

"How do I know you're going to think it's a tank for the Germans?!"

"You should have a man standing on there, like this......"

As he spoke, an infantryman jumped onto the tank and waved at the Soviet soldiers nearby and in front.

This method really worked, and the next two tanks were able to smoothly drive into the Soviet line to receive the cheers of the soldiers, and Shulka was surprised to find that one of the two tanks was a "No. 3 assault gun"!

Major Gavrilov shouted at the soldiers who were excitedly scrambling to climb onto the tank and feel the atmosphere of victory: "Are you crazy? It's all down from there......"

Major Gavrilov was right, the most important thing at this time was to cover and camouflage these two tanks, otherwise it would not be long before they would be blown up by German fire and aircraft.

Major Gavrilov then commanded two tanks to the rear of the pillbox and covered them with canvas.

Major Gavrilov was worthy of an officer with battlefield experience, and this approach was appropriate: the rear of the pillbox was a blind spot for the enemy's artillery, which made it possible to avoid the enemy's artillery. It was covered with canvas and connected to the bunker, and even a layer of earth was laid in front of it...... In fact, there is basically no need to lay soil, because the canvas has long been stuck with a thick layer of dust in the smoke and dust of the battlefield.

As a result, it is difficult for planes in the sky to spot it.

Sure enough, not long after this was done, rows of artillery came from the direction of the Germans, and at the same time, several warplanes and bombers appeared in the sky to bombard the wreckage of tanks on the battlefield...... The Germans did not allow their tanks to be captured by the enemy, and this was not only a matter of equipment, but also military secrets, such as the "No. 3 assault gun", which was not long developed.

The news soon reached the command of Colonel Ovich.

The staff officer could not help but be stunned when he heard the report of Major Gavrilov.

"What happened, Comrade Vtoriak?" Noticing that the staff officer's expression was somewhat unusual, Colonel Ovich asked.

The staff officer pressed the microphone, looked around, and replied: "It's Major Gavrilov, Comrade Colonel!" ”

"Asking for help?" Colonel Ovich asked.

Colonel Ovich thought that the hundreds of men of the 333rd Regiment would definitely not be able to withstand the German attack this time, and complained to the division headquarters.

This is what Colonel Ovich wants to see, because if the tide of battle goes in this direction, then everything will be logical, and even Colonel Ovich's previous rejection of Major Gavrilov's suggestion is reasonable.

But......

"No, Comrade Colonel!" The staff officer reported: "Once again, they defeated the German offensive!" ”

"Again, how is that possible?" Colonel Ovich's face was full of disbelief.

"That's so, Comrade Colonel!" The staff officer replied: "They even captured two tanks!" ”

Colonel Ovitch couldn't hold back any longer, he stepped forward and took the phone, and then said into the microphone: "I'm Ovich, Major, how is the situation?" ”

"We repelled their attack, Comrade Colonel!" Major Gavrilov reported: "The position was firmly in our hands, and instead of advancing a single step, the Germans again lost more than two dozen tanks. But we are also decreasing, we are not strong enough, and the wounded are increasing! Plus, we need artillery support! ”

Colonel Ovich was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "You guys fought well, Major!" But you know, the Germans are attacking our entire line at the same time, and the artillery support is tight, but I will do my best to provide you with reinforcements! Hold your ground and don't let the enemy take a step forward! ”

"Yes, Comrade Colonel!"

After putting down the phone, Colonel Ovich froze in place, he couldn't understand how such a strange thing could happen.
