It should be said that there is nothing wrong with Admiral Schwebenburg's strategy itself, it is a bit like a duel between snipers, where the opposing sniper hides somewhere in disguise, and the other side finds him through clues and then kills him.

The Soviet anti-tank gun positions were the snipers that the Germans were trying to find.

The problem is that the Soviet army also has artillery, long-range howitzers, to be exact.

And the performance of Soviet howitzers was even better than that of the Germans...... AT THIS TIME, THE SOVIET ARMY USED THE M30 122MM CALIBER HOWITZER, WHICH WAS LATER COPIED BY CHINA AND NAMED THE 54 HOWITZER, BECAUSE IT HAD TWO UPPER AND LOWER BRANCH PIPES WITH A BARREL STICKING OUT OF THE MIDDLE, SO IT WAS CALLED THE "OLD THREE TUBES" BY THE CHINESE SOLDIERS.

THE M30 HOWITZER IS 17MM LARGER THAN THE GERMAN ARMY'S 105MM HOWITZER.

17MM DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH, LESS THAN TWO CENTIMETERS.

But for the shell, the two centimeters larger is the cylindrical outer ring, which translates into a very considerable volume.

As a result, there will be much more both charge and propellant, which means that it has a longer range and greater power.

THE SOVIET M30 HOWITZER HAS A FIRING RANGE OF 11.5 KM, WHICH IS 1.5 KM FARTHER THAN THE GERMAN 105MM GUN.

This gave the Soviets a certain amount of freedom, since it was possible for them to operate outside the range of German artillery and provide fire cover for the front line.

What's more, the competition between long-range artillery is often the one who fires first and who loses...... Because firing a cannon means revealing one's position, immediately after which the enemy's shells quickly come straight to its artillery positions.

As now, every time the German artillery launched a fire cover on the anti-tank gun position, it would invite a counterattack from the Soviet artillery, which was almost an exchange of artillery for artillery.

And many of them were lost by the German army...... There are quite a few anti-tank gun positions that are actually fake, with a little appearance on the surface and then a log of about the same size draped over a raincoat, and inserted into the ground to reveal only a little, like a covered barrel.

And then every time this fake anti-tank gun was blown up, the fighters cheered, and even the thieves made a bet on it:

"Number 5! Three to one! ”

"I'm betting on number 6!"

……

The bet is Ma Heyan, and the actor has already gambled red eyes when he loses again and again.

Looking at him, it seems that the war and life and death in front of him are no longer important, but the important thing is to win back the lost tobacco.

The instructor handed Shulka a cigarette and said, "Although we have been successful in all aspects, we ......"

The instructor did not finish his sentence, because information that was unfavorable to the situation was not suitable for disclosure at the front, to be exact, to let the soldiers know, because it would hit their morale and cause unnecessary panic.

But Shulka knew what the instructor meant.

The traps were successful, the tank ambush was successful, and the deception of the enemy with fake anti-tank gun positions was also successful.

But...... There were not enough anti-tank guns for the Soviet army!

This was a threat that existed before the start of the war, with a total of only 79 units of anti-tank firepower, and 37 units had been lost under several German attacks, and only 41 units were usable, some of which were tanks.

"Next up is the tank position!"

Shulka set his sights on the warriors who were elated by winning a handful of cigarettes, and perhaps they were the happiest of all, because all they had to think about was obeying orders.

In this respect, the Soviet rule that the fighters do not need to have their own ideas is correct.

The whistling of shells sounded again, and the Germans attacked again.

However, it is obvious that the German artillery shells have reached the point of being stretched, because the time for their artillery preparation has become shorter and shorter, and now it is only a symbolic number of shots, and then the infantry and tanks are pouring up.

The attack was still the same, the frontal infantry pushed forward in the gaps of the traps, and the tanks were interspersed along the railway.

But there doesn't seem to be any other viable tactic, even Shulka...... He thought that if he stood on the side of the Germans, he would only be afraid of fighting like this.

If anything, there were fewer tanks on the railroad for the Germans.

In fact, the Germans used fewer tanks from the second raid.

This is a sensible thing to do, because the more tanks you put in, the more likely you are to be stuck in a large number of railroads like the first raid, and then one after another will be knocked out as targets.

If there are only a few tanks, say a group of six, and the distance is very far apart, then the exposure of the enemy's anti-tank gun positions can be exchanged for the minimum price.

The disadvantage is that the offensive power is also reduced.

Six tanks...... What if you break through to the Soviet positions?

But of course, the Soviets still did not easily let the German tanks break into the position.

Only a "quack" sound was heard, and three KV1 tanks drove out of the bunker.

Like anti-tank gun tactics, they are also interrelated to correct ballistics.

But to be honest, in this case as anti-tank gun fire, the tank is not as good as the anti-tank gun...... It may be more useful if it is a highly mobile tank, but at any time it can break down and collapse in place, and Shulka really does not dare to design an escape route for them.

On the other hand, the communication between tanks and tanks is not as convenient as that of anti-tank guns, even if they are equipped with a communications corps and a telephone line.

With a "boom", the first tank fired.

But the shells deviated from the target, and the tank even exceeded fifty meters......

This seems normal for a tank, after all, it is to observe the target from the observation hole in a closed space.

This was followed by the second and third...... Three shells missed the past.

On the other side, Admiral Schwebenburg, who was watching the game, immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

"Right now!" Admiral Schwebenburg ordered: "Order the 2nd Heavy Armored Battalion to attack!" At the same time, the artillery units were ordered to carry out fire cover! ”

"Yes, General!"

This was indeed an opportunity, because it was clear that the Soviets no longer had enough anti-tank guns and could only use tanks.

The use of tanks means that the accuracy is not as terrifying as that of anti-tank guns, so the probability of being able to block the railway in time will be much smaller.

As it is now, Soviet tanks failed to hit several rounds of shells, and of course could not stop German tanks from breaking through their lines.

The Germans moved very quickly, and the 2nd Heavy Panzer Battalion was ready and on the railroad in just a few minutes.

AT THE FOREFRONT WAS STILL THE "FOUR" TANK, BUT WITH THE ADDITION OF ADDITIONAL ARMOR TO A THICKNESS OF 50 MM, AND THE E VERSION WITH A MACHINE GUN.

Because it was clear that the Germans were likely to have to face enemy tanks.

What Admiral Schwebenburg did not expect was that he was fooled again.
