Seeing the German tanks withdraw, there was a burst of cheers from within the Soviet lines.

Originally, they thought that it would be difficult to win this battle with a huge disparity in strength with the enemy, but they did not expect to repel an attack from the enemy so easily.

"Those tanks looked majestic just now, and they will soon become lost dogs!"

"I wanted to see them clearly, but I didn't expect to run away!"

"Come on! Comrade Leonev, I just noticed that you are shaking! ”

Leonyev smiled embarrassedly and replied: "If I had known that they would retreat like this, I would not tremble!" ”

The fighters burst into laughter, and some touched Leonev's head.

But the instructor had a serious face.

If it's just a serious face, then there's no problem, if he's not serious, it's weird, the problem is that his eyes are still a little trance.

"What's going on?" Shulka asked.

"Nothing, Comrade Shulka!" The instructor replied, but then replied in a low voice: "The Germans blew up the train that came from Moscow to reinforce us!" ”

Shulka couldn't help but keep his mouth open for a long time.

He should have thought of this a long time ago...... If the Germans were to attack Tula, they would certainly not allow Soviet troops from other directions to reinforce Tula, including Moscow.

On the other hand, rain may have made it difficult for German pilots to bomb the railroad at low altitudes, but it was much easier to bomb the train.

"They're going to send another batch of reinforcements, aren't they?" Shulka asked.

The instructor shook his head and replied, "Remember a tunnel we passed when we came?" ”

"They blew up the tunnel?"

The instructor nodded.

Shulka's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, which meant that not only would the 50 anti-tank guns from Moscow not arrive, but the reinforcements would not arrive within five hours.

But Shulka didn't have time to think about it that much, because someone shouted: "They're attacking!" ”

poking his head out of the trench, he saw the Germans rushing up.

This time they did not prepare artillery fire, but attacked directly...... This was a sensible approach, because in this case the shells would not solve the problem but could add more trouble, and on the other hand, they did not even manage to confirm the location of the Soviet lines.

So firing artillery is also a blind fight, so why waste shells from hard won?!

The tanks were still marching forward in a line.

Unlike before, the tank stopped when it advanced about 300 meters, that is, outside the trap.

Shulka knows why...... They are used as fire cover units, which means they have to attack with infantry!

Shulka guessed correctly, and a few flares rose into the sky (the sky was overcast, and flares could increase visibility to some extent), and then the tanks fired rows of shells in the direction of the Soviets, and then the German infantry crossed the tanks and pushed forward.

But......

Did the Germans really just want to storm with infantry?

Shulka thought that this was not necessarily the case, and he raised his binoculars to look in the direction of the railway, and sure enough, he saw a group of German infantry clearing obstacles along the railway...... They were inconspicuous in the ranks of the attacking infantry, and if you didn't pay attention, you would assume that they were part of the attacking force.

"Anti-tank gun ready!" Shulka said.

"Anti-tank gun ready!" The communications officer immediately conveyed the order over the phone.

"They want to launch a surprise attack with tanks!" Shulka said: "The frontal attracted our attention with infantry, and tanks were suddenly inserted into our line of defense along the railway......"

The instructor nodded and said, "Then, let them come!" See if your tank ambush battle works! ”

As he spoke, a frontal battle began.

Truth be told, even the German infantry, without tank cover, was quite threatening.

The reason for this was that the various equipment of the German army could be closely and effectively coordinated.

50MM MORTARS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPRESSING ENEMY MACHINE GUNS AND MORTARS...... This is quite important, and it is also a manifestation of the high quality and high training of the German army.

This aspect is somewhat similar to the Japanese army against the Nationalist army at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War.

The Japanese army fought with a tried and tested artifact: the grenadier.

During the attack, the Japanese always used grenadiers to suppress the machine gun fire of the national army, and once the machine guns of the national army were suppressed...... There was nothing left to stop the wolf-like charge of the Japanese army.

Later, the national army also seized grenadiers from the Japanese army, and even a large number of imitation grenadiers, although due to shoddy manufacturing, the performance was poor, but on the battlefield was still beaten by the Japanese army without the power to fight back.

It is said that even if the performance is not good enough, it will not be to the level of "no way to fight back".

The reason for this is "people" and not "weapons".

There are also grenadiers in the hands of different people, and the difference is very large:

The grenadier shooters of the Japanese army are carefully selected and have undergone long-term professional training, and they almost do not need to look at it on the battlefield, and they can hit one by one by adjusting the angle by feeling, and the grenadier shooters of the national army are not only inaccurate but also slow to react, so it is very normal that they will be completely suppressed by the enemy.

At this time, the battlefield of the German army against the Soviet army was almost like this.

The German light mortar had a longer range and higher accuracy, while the Soviet shovel-type mortars were shoddy...... What kind of accuracy can a mortar hope it can have if its barrel is usually used as a shovel handle, dug and poked in the trenches, and sometimes smashed with the butt of the gun and stepped on a few times? It would be nice to be able to shoot the cannonballs!

So one shell after another smashed into the Soviet machine-gun fire and mortar positions, and the hit rate was quite high.

That's when Long Legs had an accident.

He was on top of the squad when the machine gunner was wounded...... Long Leg is the squad leader, and one of the main duties of the squad leader is to ensure that the machine gun is in combat condition when fighting.

Although it was only a machine gun, Shulka, who had served as a squad leader, knew that it would not be easy, because it not only needed to ensure the supply of ammunition and direct the direction of fire, but also the squad leader had to be able to go up in a critical situation.

Long Legs did just that, and then a mortar shell blasted into the machine gun position with precision, and the machine gun was blown up into the sky and became a part.

When Shulka dug his long legs out of the mud, he found that he had lost his hands, and his face could not distinguish whether it was mud or blood.

"Comrade Company Commander!" Long Legs said with difficulty: "I don't have ...... anymore How much time, do you understand? Do you understand...... Go and find it, my mom...... Please......"

Long Legs reached out to pull something out of his pocket, but found that he couldn't.

"I know!" Shulka said: "I understand, I will do it!" ”
