In this battle, Sponek made the mistake of thinking that his strategy would be able to fool the Soviets.

This may be normal, because the Soviets usually fought straightforwardly, and even the timing and tactics of the attack were very regular.

In this situation, the Soviets suddenly became nimble and even thought of Spinek ahead of him, which caught Spenek off guard and made a series of mistakes.

For example, he asked the "Tigers" to immediately reinforce the east.

At this point, Sponek should be able to tell that it is too late to reinforce the east, and the result of hasty reinforcements will only cause the Tiger to malfunction or drown in the torrent of T34.

The correct approach should be to pull all the "Tigers" back to the Zhankoi defense.

If you do this, first of all, you will have enough time to prepare and not have to go directly into battle, so you can still use the rails to maneuver.

The second is that you can rely on the cover of buildings to block the streets, and you can even fight and retreat, and it is not difficult to hold on for five hours until the reinforcements arrive at dawn.

But Sponek didn't.

On his orders, four "Tigers" went to the east to reinforce the eastern ...... Since reinforcements are in the east, and fighting is taking place in the east, of course they can no longer be towed to the battlefield by flatbed trucks.

Otherwise, the tracked vehicle used for towing will be destroyed and the "Tiger" will not be able to move, it will not even be able to get off the flatbed, and at the same time the accuracy of the "Tiger" will also be affected, because it is a moving flatbed that fires on a moving flatbed and the chassis is unstable, which is similar to the reason for the poor accuracy of a warship shooting on a rocking sea.

Therefore, it is reasonable that one "Tiger" could not function because of a malfunction, and the German "Tiger" troops lost 25 percent of their combat strength before the battle began.

Another mistake is that these "Tiger" vehicles are not coordinated enough.

In fact, the German "Tiger" reinforcements had a chance of victory.

If the "Tigers" did not rush to the battlefield in two batches, but three of them together...... You can have one in the middle and the other two cover the flanks.

Therefore, even if a dozen T34s rush towards them at the same time, and are divided by these three "Tigers", each of which deals with four or five targets, it is still possible to win.

It is conceivable that the T34 will come up in waves, and will be killed before it can enter the distance to threaten the "Tiger" or stop aiming at the distance, and eventually more than a dozen T34s will be destroyed on the way to attack.

It would be more ideal if it was accompanied by a few more "No. 3" and "No. 4" tanks for cover.

Then the other T34s that poured up were no exception, and even then the Soviet troops should have retreated or even collapsed...... It was not a question of how many tanks were lost, but of believing that the offensive was just a matter of meaningless casualties.

However, the three "Tigers" of the German army did not come up in batches, but one first.

This one can almost be said to give the Soviet army a chance to practice, although it has given the Soviet army enough shock.

Then, after the Soviets knew that they could destroy the monster from the front within two hundred meters, the two "Tigers" that the Germans came up next could not achieve the previous effect.

All these factors combined to make the Germans lose the initiative in this battle.

Without the cover of the "tiger", the German army was like a toothless tiger, chased by the Soviet army all the way and hid in the city, hoping to rely on street fighting to resist the Soviet army.

But this is clearly wishful thinking.

The Soviets had powerful T34s, and the buildings in front of them were like papier-mâché, and they could easily break through walls and lead the Soviets to clear one building after another.

The other is that the 1st Guards Brigade is equipped with "Bobosha" and bazookas...... They are a weapon of street fighting.

So Shulka was not worried about this at all, he did not even follow his men into Zhankoy, he stopped the Cossacks, commanded his platoon, surrounded the "Tiger" tank, and even organized a defense.

"Don't let anyone come near it!" Shulka ordered: "Including their own people, those who do not obey are allowed to shoot!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" The Cossacks replied.

This is one of the two "Tigers" in the second batch.

All other "Tigers" were blown up.

The first was destroyed by the Soviets, who were not at ease when the Soviet tanks destroyed it, and then two more T34s fired two more shots from the flanks close to its wreckage...... The T34 could penetrate at a distance of 800 meters if attacked from the side, and one of the shots hit the engine, so the tank quickly burst into flames.

Shulka couldn't stop it.

The two vehicles of the second batch were both paralyzed by Soviet tanks from the side. One of them, climbed out by the surviving German tank crew and detonated it from the inside with an explosives pack...... It was not surprising that they would carry explosive packs, Shulka thought, and they should have been given orders on the first day of training to blow them up without falling into the hands of the enemy if they were hit.

The third car was a plume of black smoke, and no one climbed out of it.

This is sometimes the case, such as when the steel debris carried by the armor-piercing projectile through the armor flies around and kills the crew, or the crew is knocked unconscious by the huge impulse.

Shulka was not sure if it was the latter, and immediately ordered the Cossacks: "Go in and wipe out the people inside!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" As he spoke, the Cossack drew a grenade.

"You're crazy!" Shulka hurriedly stopped him: "Don't play bullets with your hands!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" The Cossacks were stunned, because the best option against the enemy inside the tank was a grenade.

Otherwise, if you enter the tank compartment and fight the enemy, it is almost a matter of asking for death...... Unless the enemy is no longer able to resist.

What the Cossacks did not know was that for the sake of the "Tiger", it was completely worth taking such a risk.

The Cossacks even disarmed the submachine guns, since it was difficult to climb into the tank compartment with a submachine gun on their backs.

He chose to carry a flashlight and a pistol.

Then, after opening the hatch, his subordinates quickly popped up and fired two shots inside, retracted their heads and waited for a while before mustering up the courage to jump in.

After a while, there were two "bang" gunshots inside, and everyone pointed their guns at the tank hatch, their fingers nervously pressed on the trigger.

Then the voice of the Cossack rang out: "I'll kill them, Captain!" The others were all dead, only the driver was wounded and stuck and couldn't move, so I asked him to go with his companions! ”

Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, which meant that they had captured a "Tiger", and it was basically intact.

It will probably play as much of a role as the Soviet occupation of Zhankoy.

If one of the two were to be chosen, Shulka would even choose the "Tiger pose". 、

But of course, it's better to have both.
