The tanks "rattled and rattled", and the German soldiers panicked and pulled out anti-tank grenades from the ammunition boxes.

The PWM anti-tank grenade can be said to be the anti-tank weapon of the German army.

After all, there is almost no ...... of effective individual anti-tank equipment in this era At a time when cluster grenades, explosive packs and even Molotov cocktails were commonly used against enemy tanks, the PWM anti-tank grenade was undoubtedly a very effective anti-tank weapon.

Although its attack range is not far, if the infantry has a large number of these anti-tank grenades in their hands, it is still a terrible thing for the attacking tanks.

Imagine that every time a tank approaches its trenches, several anti-tank grenades open their small umbrellas at a high place and land on its armor with a bang, and then the tanks are paralyzed in front of the position.

But this did not happen when the 1st Guards Tank Brigade attacked, the reason was that they had bazookas in their hands, anti-infantry bazookas......

Just when the German soldiers were ready to throw anti-tank grenades one by one, they suddenly heard the screams of rockets coming from the smoke, and then there was a burst of "boom", and the screams also followed.

Anti-infantry rockets tend not to be lethal because they explode like German S-jumping mines.

But this is often the most effective, because the steel balls can be shot everywhere in front of the trench and even bounce off the tank's armor or stones, as if they were sprinkled with a soybean, and they can be shot into the enemy's trench from all kinds of unexpected directions and angles.

And only a few steel balls are needed, and the enemy will at least temporarily lose combat effectiveness or have a decrease in reflexes.

At this moment, the tank broke into the range of enemy anti-tank grenades.

Of course, the Soviets would not give them a chance to throw anti-tank grenades, and they threw rows of grenades into the trenches when the Germans were overwhelmed, and then rushed forward with a shout.

Bayonets were red, bullets and shrapnel flew everywhere.

The German 46th Infantry Division fought valiantly, and in this situation they still did not take half a step back, but relied on trenches and fortifications to engage the Soviets in hand-to-hand combat.

If they were facing other troops, they might have been intimidated by their anger and persistence, but their opponents were the battle-hardened 1st Guards Tank Brigade, the heroic unit that had gone from the Brest Fortress all the way to the Battle of Moscow, and such a bloody battle was just a piece of cake for them.

Especially at this time, the equipment of the Soviet army was still completely superior: tanks, bazookas, Bobosha submachine guns......

Row after row of German soldiers fell under fire, corpses were crushed under the tracks of tanks, and anti-tank guns were blown into the sky by rockets before they could fire quickly.

The battle was easy, at least for Shulka, as he only had to take advantage of the cover of the tank and then lean out to take down a few enemies.

Some of them were Romanian soldiers.

Shulka sometimes didn't know what to do with them, after all, these Romanian soldiers had done the Soviets a great favor, and killing them at this time had the flavor of "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

If there is one side in this battlefield that is the most sorrowful, it is undoubtedly these Romanians who are not people in the middle, and their death may not even be called "sacrifice", because it is in a way "escape" and "mutiny".

But the war was so brutal that Romanian soldiers fell at Shulka's guns, unless one of them held up a white towel and shouted: "Don't shoot, I'm Russian!" ”

At this time, the Soviet soldiers would lead it to the back and change into Soviet uniforms to avoid being accidentally injured by others.

Further back, you will see the corpse of a German soldier.

The wounded were few and far between, as they crawled through the trenches looking for grenades and explosives packs, and some of them even managed to detonate the tanks as they ran over the trenches.

There were fewer prisoners, and only a few soldiers, who still looked like children, squatted on the ground with their heads under the control of the Soviet soldiers, shivering.

This is not because the Soviets did not leave prisoners, this battle could have been left prisoners.

Rather, it was because the Germans did not surrender much, although they knew that there was no point in continuing to resist like this.

It can also be seen from this that the 46th Division is not a unit that is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Historically, they have been treated unfairly...... Because of Sponek, they were forbidden all rewards, medals, and promotions from war.

And they didn't even know what was happening, because the order was given by Lieutenant General Sponek, and the vast majority of officers and soldiers did not know that it was "disobedience".

Sponek's headquarters was set up five miles behind the line, and he received a telegram from the front at the first moment.

"General!" The adjutant anxiously reported: "The Russians have broken through our defenses, retreat quickly!" ”

"Yes, we do have to retreat!" Sponek looked at the map and replied, "But we can't just retreat. Otherwise, the troops behind us will be caught off guard by the enemy...... Zhankoy is just over a hundred kilometers away, they only need a day to arrive, we need to buy time for them! ”

As a result, Lieutenant General Sponek led the remnants of the 46th Division to set up ambushes and mines all the way to retreat.

This caused some minor problems for the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

The reason why it is said to be a "small trouble" is that there is little point in laying mines, and the 1st Guards Tank Brigade has minesweeping tanks.

The main trouble came from the German ambush, where suddenly a few people appeared from the snow on the side of the road and threw anti-tank grenades in the direction of the tank, or fired a few cold guns from a distance.

Objectively speaking, Lieutenant General Sponek's tactics were the most beneficial to the entire battlefield, he could see the whole battle and take the initiative to buy time for the rest of the troops.

It's just that what he paid didn't seem to have made much difference, because behind them was the Romanian 8th Cavalry Brigade.

Most of the cavalry of this era had been converted into armored units, and they no longer rode tanks and armored vehicles instead of horses, but only called cavalry.

The reason why cavalry still existed in the USSR was more for snow maneuvering, and the performance of cavalry on the battlefield was still terrible...... After the advent of machine guns, cavalry actually had no meaning to exist, and the greater role of horses in the army was to be able to transport some supplies.

The Romanian cavalry brigade, on the other hand, was a veritable cavalry, that is, a cavalry equipped with war horses and even sabers, hoping to charge the enemy as quickly as possible.

Its nature dictates that such a unit is more suitable for offense than defense...... Actually, the offense is not suitable either, because they are all targets.
