In the command compartment of the armored train, the German signal corps was communicating with his superiors.

"22, report location, report location!"

"We're on our way to the train station!" The communications officer replied.

"What happened, why did you stop communicating just now!"

"In the heat of battle just now!" The signal man replied: "The shells hit us, the equipment is out of order!" ”

"Is it okay?"

"Yes, we broke through the enemy encirclement, but the enemy crossed the Volga bridge!"

"Understood!"

……

Of course, what the German command on the other end did not know was that the signal soldier on the armored train said these words when the head was pointed at gunpoint.

As a result, the armored train drove into the German defense line very smoothly, and the German soldiers even moved the barricades on the railway line for the armored train.

On the south bank of the Volga River is the center of Tver, where dense and tall houses were built by a battalion of German troops using the railway station as a supply center.

After the armored train drove into the defensive line, what I saw on both sides were tanks that had been transferred to the defensive line, anti-tank guns, and groups of German soldiers who had been reinforced...... Tver was a supply base for the German army, and a lot of equipment and supplies brought from the west were stored here, and the Germans were not short of equipment for this local area of Tver, and even two battalions were temporarily reinforced in the rear.

The Germans were going to fight street battles with the Soviets in the center of the city.

The Germans still had a chance of victory.

This was mainly due to the fact that the Germans had to hold out until or near dawn...... Approaching daybreak, the Soviets did not have time to withdraw their lines and hide them, because the 4th Tank Brigade would then be completely exposed to the enemy's air bombardment.

And if the 4th Tank Brigade is destroyed, Moscow will almost not be able to hold it.

Therefore, Rokossovsky had another order: whether or not the 32nd Army could be rescued in the end, the 4th Tank Brigade would have to withdraw in its entirety by the time.

So, time was on the side of the Germans.

On the other hand, the tanks of this era were really not suitable for street fighting...... In fact, even street fighting in modern tanks is a problem.

Because street fighting means that the enemy is often close to each other, every building, every window and even every ruin may be hiding the enemy, especially at this time and at night when visibility is not high, so it is impossible to prevent it.

As a result, German tanks, anti-tank guns, and even anti-tank grenades could pose a great threat to the Soviet army,

Once the battle was fought like this, it would not be difficult for the Germans to hold back the Soviets for several hours until dawn.

But what the Germans did not expect was that at this time their line of defense had already been mixed with the enemy, and this enemy was not an ordinary enemy, but a behemoth equipped with many weapons and equipment...... Armored trains.

"You are under the command of the 3rd Battalion!" The German command gave an order to the armored train: "Stay at the railway station, Major Luca will contact you!" ”

"Yes!" The communications officer replied.

The instructor looked nervously out through the piercing, which was full of German soldiers, and he did not even dare to stay at the piercing for too long, for fear of being recognized by the enemy.

"Do you want to do it?" The instructor asked.

"No, Comrade Instructor!" Shulka replied: "It's not yet time, we have to wait until the main forces are ready and attack!" ”

The instructor nodded, nervousness making him breathe a little.

He knew that Shulka was right, and that this was just a little mess for the Germans, and maybe some Germans could be killed or a few tanks destroyed.

But the Germans soon came to their senses and blocked the armored vehicle, just as the Soviets had taken it prisoner.

"It's the craziest thing I've ever done!" The instructor said: "I feel like I have been surrounded by the Germans...... But they don't know it yet! ”

In fact, not only the instructors, but also the other soldiers were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, and they had to keep their voices low when talking to each other, for fear that the Russian they spoke would be discovered by the German troops outside.

At this time, the two barrel cars stopped next to the armored train with a "whoosh", and several officers jumped out of the barrel cars, followed by a few signal soldiers with radio stations on their backs, who seemed to be very familiar with the armored trains, and went straight to the command car, and then "bang bang bang" outside and knocked the iron sheet.

"Turn this thing on!" The voice outside shouted, "They told you I would come, I am Major Luca, and you are under my command!" ”

"What should I do?" The veteran standing by the door looked back at Shulka.

Shulka raised his head at the messengers, and everyone understood.

The German signal soldiers were escorted to the iron gate and slowly opened it, and Major Luca and the others did not suspect it at all, and got in.

After entering, Major Luca even took off his military cap and asked, "Who is in command here?" ”

The iron door closed again, and Shulka stood in front of Major Luca and replied in English: "Here I command, Major!" ”

Major Luca and the others realized that something was wrong, and they were about to touch their guns, but there was no time, and a few guns had already been put against their heads and disarmed them.

"Hello, Major Luca!" Shulka handed over a map and a pen and said, "We still have some time, I wonder if you can draw me the firepower along the railway?" ”

"You're delusional!" The German major replied.

"Good!" Shulka glanced at several officers beside the major and said, "I'm sure you're not the only one who knows this information...... If you don't want to ask other people, I think there will always be people who will! ”

"I know!" A German captain replied.

"Louis ......"

"Major!" Louis said: "They're going to get this information anyway, don't you see?" We're finished, the armored train stops behind us and we don't know anything! ”

The instructor quickly took Captain Louis to the other side.

"He's right, Major!" Shulka said to Major Luca: "You're done, at least Tver is finished...... We are waiting for that moment, the moment when the main forces will attack! ”

Major Luca suddenly sat up from his chair and tried to resist, but he was actually hoping to make a little gunfire to attract the attention of the Germans outside.

But the veteran did not give him this opportunity, and he knocked Major Luca to the ground with the butt of his rifle.

At this moment, there was an explosion from the defensive line, and there was a faint "rumbling" of tank tracks...... The main forces of the Soviet army went on the offensive.

The Germans became nervous, and all of them bent their waists to the north to prepare for battle, and some Germans even leaned against armored trains.
