It is no wonder that the Germans did not know how the Soviet T34 crossed the river.

This is exactly what Shulka prepared for in order to be able to achieve the suddenness of the battle.

A river is a place where you can make a fuss, and the Soviets are guarding the river, and the river is full of mud, and it doesn't look like a place where tanks can pass through.

In addition, the bridge was blown up by the Soviet army, so the Germans were very relieved to build a position on the other side of the river, because they did not think that the tanks could cross the river quickly, and they did not build anti-tank trenches or lay anti-tank mines.

In fact, another reason why the Germans did not build anti-tank trenches was to prepare for the next day...... Tanks could not cross anti-tank trenches, either their own tanks or enemy tanks, which would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for the next day's offensive.

However, what the Germans did not know was that Shulka had already asked the sappers to build several underwater bridges.

Underwater bridges, as the name suggests, are bridges under water.

The construction method is not difficult, only the steel beams and steel plates need to be laid under water, and some are even welded in sections on the shore and then sunk into the water to connect...... The good thing about the proximity to Moscow is that there is never a shortage of these steels and welders.

The difference between the underwater bridge and other bridges is that its bridge deck is about half a meter underwater.

Usually no one builds bridges like this, but as said before, thinking on the battlefield is different from peacetime.

The advantage of it on the battlefield is that it is impossible to observe the bridge from the surface, and it is difficult to find it even when you walk in front of it, and you can only find that there is such a thing when you step into the water.

After hearing about the "underwater bridge", Rokossovsky made a special trip to inspect it and let the tanks go back and forth on it several times.

Convinced that it would work, Rokossovsky smiled and said to Shulka: "They should give you a medal, Comrade Shulka...... You even let the tank float forward in the water! ”

When Rokossovsky said this, Shulka felt like it.

But of course, this is also not Shulka's invention, at this time China, because there is no air supremacy for fear of the bridge being blown up by enemy aircraft, this kind of underwater bridge has been widely used to ensure transportation and supply lines...... It allowed the Japanese pilots not to find the exact location of the bridge.

It was not enough to have an underwater bridge, the Soviets did something similar on the opposite bank.

The sappers dug a layer down near the bank of the river, then laid solid stones and logs to allow the tanks to pass through, and then laid a layer of mud and joined the side perfectly.

As a result, in the eyes of the Germans, it seemed to be rivers and mud that tanks could not pass, but on the map of the Soviet army, it was a road leading directly to the front of the German position.

In the evening, when the Germans were about to stop and rest after a day's battle, the Soviet offensive began.

Rokossovsky gave the order, and the tanks drove out of the bunker one by one under the cover of the sound of artillery and drove onto the "underwater bridge", but in ten minutes, more than 50 T34s drove across the river and rushed to the German position.

If there was anything lacking in this offensive, it was the inevitable wet boots of the fighters when they passed over the "underwater bridge".

Shulka was one of them, and as soon as he stepped into the river, he felt a biting cold, but he soon lost his feelings, and he didn't know if it was numb from the cold or because of the tension of the battle.

The tank smoked all the way to the enemy's trenches, and several flares hit the enemy's direction, illuminating the enemy's panicked faces...... They clearly did not know how to fight this battle anymore, because they were faced with the T34, which was ineffective with almost all anti-tank weapons.

T34 advanced to a range of about a hundred meters from the enemy's line of defense and stopped.

So far, everyone has figured out the performance of the enemy's equipment, and the T34 is almost invincible at a distance of a hundred meters, so they will not be stupid enough to drive the tank in front of the Germans to make their anti-tank guns work.

Then, the tank gun adjusted its firing direction, and with a "boom", a German machine-gun position was blown into the sky.

Tank machine guns also rang out, and the bullets swept through the enemy trenches like a gust of wind, crushing the German soldiers to the point where they could not lift their heads.

At this time, Soviet soldiers hid behind tanks and fired mortar shells into German trenches......

It was a completely disproportionate battle.

Although the Germans were the defenders, it was common sense that they should have the upper hand in such local battles.

The problem is that the Germans only have trenches and sandbags to cover them, while the Soviets are T34s with iron cloth shirts and golden bell jars.

Without worrying about being destroyed by the enemy, the tank guns and machine guns of the T34 were able to suppress everything of the enemy without pressure, so the Soviets quickly seized the commanding heights of the battle.

When the mortar shells blew up the Germans, the German tanks drove up from the rear one after another.

Originally, Major Zahakavich hoped to attack in the second half of the night.

Major Zakhakavich had this idea because he knew the tanks of the German army.

"The enemy's tanks can't stand the cold!" Major Zahakavich said: "If we attack in the second half of the night, at least half of their tanks will not be able to start!" And it was when they were sleeping soundly......"

"No, Comrade Zahakavich!" Major General Rokossovsky interrupted Major Zakhakavich without thinking, and he asked rhetorically: "Do our tanks have a chance of winning against enemy tanks?" ”

"Of course, Comrade Rokossovsky!" Major Zahakavich replied: "From a hundred meters away they will not be able to penetrate our armor, and we can use them as targets!" ”

"So ......" Major General Rokossovsky spread his hands.

And then Major Zakhakavich immediately understood.

The first is that the Soviets did not have time to attack in the second half of the night...... The High Command demanded that the original positions be recaptured by two o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Secondly, if the enemy tank does not pose a threat to the T34, then whether it freezes and can be activated should not be taken into account, because even if it can be launched and can be driven into battle, it is only a "target".

Rokossovsky's judgment was correct, as is happening now, the enemy and our tanks firing at each other face to face at a distance of 100 meters is obviously another tragic result for the Germans...... Tanks drove up and destroyed them one by one.

Some of the destroyed tanks exploded or ignited, becoming a "torch" erected in front of the line, illuminating the surrounding German lines and the tanks that followed.

As a result, the T34 adjusted its muzzle again and fired a round of armor-piercing shells mercilessly at the German tank.
