However, Lucas's desperate speculation certainly could not materialize.

Not only could it not become reality, but the reality was the opposite of what they had guessed...... Although the accuracy of the bazooka is indeed weakened at night, it is certainly more accurate during the day than at night.

But this weakening turned out to be insignificant for the infantry, and could even be compensated for with flares if necessary.

And the tank of this era, the ability to fight at night, especially in the city, can almost be described as "none", because even if there is a figure shaking in front, the tank crew is not sure whether it is the enemy or their own people, so they dare not shoot easily.

As a result, the night battles organized by Lucas were lost again and again, and even counterattacked by the 1st Guards Tank Brigade and suffered considerable losses.

Needless to say, why there was a counteroffensive...... The Soviet soldiers with bazookas on their backs had a small goal, and they could easily infiltrate the German positions under the cover of buildings and ruins and launch a surprise attack.

The only good thing about this was that Hitler finally believed that the "new equipment" used by the Russians in Tver was real and not the lies told by the front-line generals in order to be able to retreat.

"We think it's a weapon that resembles an anti-tank grenade!" The staff officer reported to Hitler: "The Russians put anti-tank grenades on rocket thrusters, so they can launch and destroy our tanks at about 100 meters!" ”

Hitler couldn't help but raise his head from the map when he heard this, and then said angrily: "What a simple and effective idea, we have rockets, we also have anti-tank grenades, but we don't know how to combine them!" Our scientists are idiots, utter idiots, and they're the ones who keep us in total passivity on the battlefield! ”

In fact, the Germans were world leaders in rocket research, dating back to 1910, and even Soviet rocket technology was shared between Germany and the Soviet Union under the Lapallo Agreement.

The problem is that rockets of this era have many shortcomings, such as poor accuracy, short range, unstable trajectory, and a large amount of smoke when launched that is easy to be detected by the enemy.

As a result, the Germans, who pursued accuracy and precision, used rocket technology more to launch smoke grenades...... It doesn't take much precision to emit smoke, and a similar position is enough to meet the requirements.

At this point, they did not have the mentality of the Soviets at all: precision is not enough to make up with quantity, and any precision in the face of huge numbers is ignored.

It was not until the Soviet-German war that the Germans encountered the "Katyusha" and hurriedly developed their own rocket artillery.

"I'll let them develop similar anti-tank equipment!" The staff officer said: "But, Your Excellency! Now what do we do? Admiral Hopner sent another urgent telegram......"

Hitler raised his hand to stop the staff officer from continuing.

He knew the difficulties of the 4th Tank Army, so he did not want to waste any more time in this area.

After thinking about it, Hitler replied: "Tell General Hopner to hold out until tomorrow, and after dawn tomorrow, we will solve the problem of supply!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The staff officers did not dare to ask more, but Hitler already had a plan.

During the night, he transferred a flying group of more than forty fighters to the direction of Tver, and at the same time asked Kubil to draw up a new offensive plan.

The Soviets, of course, did not know about these arrangements of the German army.

The resistance and tenacity of the Germans came as a surprise to Shulka.

Shulka thought it was ...... The German army was already on the verge of collapse due to the cold weather and lack of preparation, and now with the all-out Soviet counteroffensive, and at the same time the 1st Guards Tank Brigade cut off the supply of the 4th Tank Army, then the German army should collapse quickly.

But now that the sky is getting brighter, it has been twenty hours since the Soviets occupied the Tver Bridge to cut off the German transport line, and the Germans still have no signs of breaking down and retreating.

The cooks handed out the rations before dawn, because everyone believed that there would be a new battle after dawn.

"Eat them all!" The cook said, "We may be able to eat German food for the next meal!" (referring to the retreat of the German army)

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

The ration was a canned American stew, one can for eight people, a large smoked fish, two slices of sweet bread per person, two pieces of sugar and a pinch of salt...... This is used to replenish the amount of sugar and salt lost by the body.

This was a pretty good ration, especially when supplies were struggling for the defense of Moscow.

And only the 1st Guards Tank Brigade still had such a pleasure in battle.

It is not known who started the shot, and several soldiers quarreled during the meal, among them Fedosyev.

Shulka listened carefully, and then seemed to understand something.

"Come on!" Fedosyev said: "Without the support of tanks, the infantry is nothing!" ”

"Oh, really?" The veteran responded, "So where are you all these days?" While we are destroying enemy tanks! ”

The actor shot back: "What's the use of you? Tanks have their own tasks, and so do the infantry, if you want to break through the German trenches, the tanks will either sink into them or drive directly into the trenches, and a tank without infantry is like a blind man! ”

"That's because we're using those broken tanks!" Fedosyev replied: "If we drive a T34......"

The Cossacks took the bazooka directly to their hands and patted it, interrupting Fedosyev's words: "Do you think the T34 will be able to block its attack?" ”

The soldiers around couldn't help but laugh.

This period was perhaps the most depressed time for the tank crews of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

As tank crews of tank brigades, they were supposed to be the protagonists of the troops, and infantry, artillery and even the air force existed to cover them.

But now, with the bazooka, the status of the tank has been reduced by a number of stages...... It was originally the equipment of the king of land warfare, but it only needed one cheap rocket to settle it, and if one shot didn't work, two shots.

Shulka interjected as he chewed on the smoked fish in his mouth, "You think we don't need tanks, do you?" ”

"Captain!" The veteran said: "If we fight like this, it seems that we really don't need tanks!" ”

The veteran refers to street fighting.

"So!" Shulka raised the lunch box in his hand: "You plan to fight the enemy infantry face to face?" ”

Everyone was silent, because the current Soviet army is indeed using bazookas against enemy tanks, and then using tanks to crush enemy infantry.

But of course, these are actually jokes of the soldiers, and no one will think that tanks are not important, even with bazookas.
