Shulka took out a letter from the pocket of his long-legged jacket, a letter rolled up in a ball and wrapped in a tarp...... If you don't, you won't be able to keep the letter until it's sent.

The former comrade-in-arms could not say anything now, blood pouring out of his throat, staining his chest bright red. He just lay on the ground, and then it was all over.

Shulka always cared about his comrades-in-arms in the unit he grew up in, that squad, that platoon...... Although he is now a company commander, he already has more than 100 fighters in three platoons.

However, this also seems normal, for those who don't know, the dead and wounded are more just a number.

Shulka didn't dare to think too much, because he knew that the battle was going on and the enemy was pouring up like a tidal wave.

Usually, the German infantry had more advantages over the Soviet infantry, because the German mortars were better, and then the machine gunners were responsible for suppressing the enemy infantry fire, and then the infantry charged with rifles.

But this time, the German infantry offensive did not go so smoothly.

The reason is that there are traps in front of them, invisible traps.

So the German charging infantry ran and ran and then "soared" into the trap, and when they leaped forward, they "fluttered" and fell into the dirt pit.

This severely affected the speed of the German leap, as they were not sure which piece of mud in front of them was a trap.

To make matters worse, if he falls into a trap, the rifle will quickly seep into the bolt with mud, and even if he gets up, the gun will probably not fire.

This forced the German infantry to rush forward bypassing the limited number of routes in which the pit was concentrated...... The routes proved to be safe because of the footprints left behind.

But the result was that the Soviets only needed a limited number of machine guns, submachine guns, or even rifles to block their offensive.

This was something Shulka didn't expect...... These traps are actually dual-purpose, they can deal with both enemy tanks and infantry.

On the other side, Admiral Schwebenburg was not surprised, he did not expect to break through the enemy lines without the cover of tanks from the beginning, and if this was the case, then the enemy in front of him was not worth his tactics.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Admiral Schwebenburg waved his hand, and a tank unit that had long been ready for battle rushed forward with murderous vigour...... This tank unit has a total of 45 tanks, and it is a heavy tank battalion, all of which are composed of "No. 3" and "No. 4" tanks.

In front were five tanks "Four".

This is a tank that the Germans entered service only last year.

Although it is under-defended...... THE THICKNESS OF THE ARMOR WAS ONLY 30MM, WHICH WAS NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS THE 37 MM OF TANK NO. 3, BUT ITS 75MM CALIBER SHORT-BARRELED GUN WAS HIGHLY LETHAL TO BOTH ENEMY INFANTRY AND FORTIFICATIONS WHEN FIRING HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELLS.

What's more, it can reach an off-road speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than the 23 kilometers of the No. 3 tank.

Admiral Schwebenburg hoped that the "No. 4" tanks would be able to use this advantage to break through the enemy lines along the railroad with lightning speed and cause chaos, and then the "No. 3" tanks would follow and win the battle.

As Admiral Schweppenburg said to Captain Daniel, commander of the tank battalion: "The enemy will definitely aim at you with anti-tank guns, don't worry about this and don't worry about anything else, forget all the dangers and tactics, there are only two things you have to do: get on the gas pedal and fire!" ”

"Yes, General!" Captain Daniel actually knew what to do, because he had done it before, and more than once.

So he's quite experienced with that.

Insufficient armor protection?

Don't worry about this, the speed of the "Four" can rush into the enemy's defense line before the enemy anti-tank guns destroy them, and that's all that matters: speed!

When he received the order to attack, Captain Daniel showed half of his body outside the turret, held up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Listen to my command, advance!" ”

More than 40 tanks drove onto the railroad in an orderly manner under the command of the commander, and the tracks made a "sonorous" sound of steel colliding, like samurai striking, striking, slamming their shields against the enemy before charging.

At the same time, Admiral Schwebenburg ordered the artillery to implement fire cover...... The purpose was to distract from the sight and attention of the Soviet anti-tank fire, as the smoke and evaporated water vapor from the shells could further interfere with the line of sight.

If it weren't for the fear that the tank driver would not be able to see the railway and the enemy, Admiral Schwebenburg would have fired smoke grenades.

A volley of bullets hit the armor of the "No. 3" tank in which Captain Daniel was riding, making a "popping" sound like popping beans.

This made Daniel realize that the enemy had noticed their movements, so Captain Daniel gave the order, while retracting his head and closing the hatch! ”

This is not the time to be a hero, and Daniel knows that.

He didn't understand that some tank commanders always liked to stick their heads out of the tank to direct operations...... This may be a symbol of courage, and it is indeed a better way to perceive the external environment and quickly indicate the target for the tank.

At the same time, however, it can also make the commander a target for enemy snipers or machine gunners.

"Then the value of the tank is lost!" Captain Daniel commented on this approach: "The biggest function of a tank is that you hide in it and shoot at the enemy, and the enemy is helpless against you!" ”

What Captain Daniel didn't expect was that this time the battle was completely opposite, that is, the enemy shot at him, but he was helpless against the enemy.

"One in a row!" Captain Daniel ordered: "Speed up! ”

The first company was the unit at the forefront, including the five "No. 4" tanks that took the lead.

"We're already doing as fast as we can, Captain!" A company commander replied.

"Not fast enough!" "You know, it's likely that several anti-tank guns are aiming at you, and if you slow down, their shells will penetrate your armor and turn your tanks into a ball of fire!" ”

"That's what I find strange, Captain!" The commander of a company reported: "Until now no anti-tank guns have been fired at us!" ”

Captain Daniel also sensed that something was wrong.

Because the infantry had cleared the barricades before, and the railroad tracks were solid, the tanks were speeding forward at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and they were already approaching the enemy's lines......

The enemy should have returned fire with anti-tank guns a long time ago, but until now there has been no movement.

But Captain Daniel didn't think much of it, he ordered: "You don't need to worry about this, second lieutenant, there are only two things you need to do: fill the gas pedal and fire!" ”
