There is no information, even the map is a railway traffic map provided by the railway station.

This is not surprising at all, no one would have thought that the enemy would threaten this place before the start of the war...... This is Moscow!

As for intelligence, everyone thought about defense, and no one wanted to attack, so the deployment of the Luthers between Kling and Tver was as if they were blind when they were in the dark.

Usually at this time, the troops should carry out some capture operations and get some useful information from the prisoners, such as how many troops the Germans have along the way, where they are stationed, and so on.

But the capture of prisoners was generally carried out at night, and the 4th Tank Brigade apparently did not have so much time.

So the plan is simple:

"We're split into two parts!" Major Zakhakavich said: "The 1st battalion of tanks is attacking along the railway, and the 2nd battalion is attacking along the road!" ”

Shure was the 1st Infantry Battalion, and they were in charge of coordinating with the 1st Tank Battalion, so they went on the railroad.

The battle began in the evening before it was dark.

They will choose to attack at this time in order to buy as much time as possible...... It will soon get dark, and when the tanks are attacking, there is no need to worry about the enemy's air force.

At the head of the pack were the soldiers of the 30th Army...... Garrisoned in Kling were the 251st Division, troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow.

Needless to say, what they were originally doing was needless to say, Shulka and Major Gavrilov and others had seen how powerful these people were in Kyiv.

The troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also one of the reserves, with a total size of 330,000 men, and they usually do not need to go to battle, but they cannot manage so much when Moscow is about to fall and there is a serious shortage of soldiers.

However, in the rear they may have a great deal of power to investigate and even arrest and interrogate at will, but when it comes to the battlefield they do not have any privileges when facing the enemy.

Not only were they not even privileged, but they were also used as a foreshadowing for the 4th Tank Brigade in this battle...... Rokossovsky contacted Zhukov, and plans like this would of course require the consent of the command of the Western Front.

Zhukov was satisfied with this plan, and then ordered the 251st Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, stationed in Kling, to fight with the 4th Tank Brigade from top to bottom.

Then, as soon as the artillery rang out, the officers and men of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed to the enemy positions with a shout.

For some reason, Shulka couldn't help but feel a sense of joy when he saw this style of painting, especially when those officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs passed by the tank, they looked at Shulka and others who were hiding behind the tank and preparing to attack with envious eyes...... Not to mention how relieved it is.

The veteran even shouted at the men: "Don't bother, the Germans are waiting for you ahead!" ”

The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter, only making the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs pale with anger but helpless. They must not stop at this charge and punish someone they don't like, if that is the case, they will be treated as if they were evading the battle.

From this, Shulka knew that it was not only himself who had that sense of exhilaration.

Even Zakhakavich deliberately waited a little longer before giving the order to advance, which can also be said to be a kind of retribution for the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for their usual prestige.

Then, when the gunfire and artillery fire at the front were fierce, the 4th Tank Brigade divided into two parts and set off.

Zakharovich personally commanded a battalion to break through from the railway, which was clearly the main direction of attack.

In front of the line was a field trench of the German army, and the officers and men of the 251st Division rushed forward like a tidal wave, but they were knocked down again and again.

It can be seen that they fought quite bravely, but their combat effectiveness and tactics are not flattering...... Shulka and others followed behind the tank and observed while advancing, and they could see very clearly that the machine gun fire was not properly positioned, the mortar target was not clear, and it was basically an unorganized and indiscriminate artillery, which directly led to the German machine gun fire knocking down the charging soldiers in pieces.

However, it seems that these people can't be blamed, if the 333rd Regiment hadn't known about it after fighting one battle after another, I'm afraid it would be similar to them.

Then, as the tank continued to see the piles of corpses, as he watched the wounded fall to the ground screaming and the frightened soldiers crawling around on the ground, Shulka's previous gloating mentality suddenly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a common hatred.

"Get down!" Shulka yelled: "Get out of the way, let the tanks go up!" ”

I don't know if they heard Shulka's cry or were beaten hard by the Germans and spontaneously got out of the way, and the 4th Tank Brigade was soon at the forefront.

"Follow behind the tank and wait for orders!" Shulka waved his hand at the almost frightened officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This time Shulka was sure they heard their own screams, as they relayed them one after another, and a crowd of people soon gathered behind the tank.

The tank "rumbled" forward, and several flares hit the air to illuminate the enemy's defenses, and then the tank found a good position to stop and aim at the enemy......

This is what is going on, the infantry knows when the tank needs vision, the tank knows when the infantry needs firepower, and they don't even need orders between them, but a kind of heart.

The infantry behind the tank shouted over the microphone to find a target for the tank: "10 o'clock, two hundred meters, enemy machine-gun fire!" ”

Then the muzzle of the tank slowly pointed towards the designated position, and then the German machine gun fire was blown into the sky with a "boom".

The role of following the infantry, as well as tank telephones in night battles, is obvious...... The tank's external perception is already very poor, and if the outside world is pitch black again, then advancing and fighting are basically dark in both eyes.

But with the tank phone, it was clear that this was avoided to a certain extent, and it could even be said that the tank phone had an advantage in this respect over the fact that every tank of the German army was equipped with a radio for communication.

The reason is simple, the radio communication in the tank only solves the coordination between tanks and tanks, but it is difficult to carry out the coordination between infantry and tanks.

On the contrary, it is difficult to use it for coordination between tanks, and there is a complex process in which the tank transmits to the infantry, the infantry communicates to the infantry of another tank, and then the infantry transmits to the tank, which is not only slow, but also may be wrong due to unclear expression.

However, the coordination between the infantry and the tank is in place: in the dark, the tank driver only needs to follow the infantry's orders to "move forward" and "turn left", etc., and even if he can't see anything, he can still drive the tank to a favorable position.

Even when shooting, the infantry can quickly find a good target.
