Chapter 172: The Mystery

It was not until the next day that Major Gavrilov sent a reconnaissance team...... At this time, the reconnaissance was much safer, on the one hand, the visibility was high, and on the other hand, it was impossible for the Germans to ambush at this time with the covering troops behind the palace.

Sure enough, there were no incidents, and the reconnaissance squad received news over the radio that the enemy had retreated.

Although this was expected, the whole army still let out a burst of cheers.

Captain Akimchik squeezed through the crowd and shook Shulka's hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to fight with you, Comrade Ensign, you have defeated the enemy very easily!" ”

"I'm also glad to fight with you, Comrade Captain!" Shulka said: "Your tank crews are heroic! ”

The performance of Captain Akimchik's tank men did surprise Shulka a little...... Originally, Shulka was worried that they would not be able to perform the task well, but the truth was completely opposite, they were not ambiguous at all on the battlefield, and could even be said to face death calmly.

For example, when the tank blocked the railway, don't look at the KV2's majestic rush into the enemy's tank herd like a tiger into a flock of sheep to kill, but it was a one-to-many and almost destined to end in the destruction of the car and the death of people.

From the very beginning they knew that it would be almost impossible for them to drive the tank back, and at worst, the Germans would also have crippled the KV2 with a batch of shells.

It is also true that the crews of the two KV2 tanks did not survive.

From this point of view, tank crews are actually much more dangerous than anti-tank gunners, although they are protected by heavy armor.

"This is our duty, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" Captain Akimchik replied calmly, as if to accomplish what they were supposed to do.

"Forward!"

On the orders of Major Gavrilov, the ranks marched forward in a row.

After winning the battle, it doesn't mean that the rest is fine, the next thing to do is to occupy the original position and clean up the battlefield.

It was not as simple as it might seem, as the positions were lined with traps, barbed wire, and mines...... Obviously, it is not possible to do this without clearing the dry silence, especially landmines, otherwise it is not safe to walk on your own territory, because you are not sure if you will blow you up with a "boom" when you step on it.

Therefore, the soldiers each held a branch and spaced a few meters apart from each other, like blind men, while trying to advance, but this was only effective against the Soviets' own mines...... If it is an "S" type jumping mine of the German army, the steel balls it shoots will also be fatal.

Therefore, every now and then there is a "boom" on the forward line, followed by a scream, and then another ......

However, the soldiers were already surprised, they didn't even look back and continued to move forward, and those wounded were naturally solved by follow-up medical guards, and the vacant places would be filled by others.

Shulka sighed inwardly: no one wants to be wounded or even killed when this is already victorious, but the battlefield is like that, it never cares what you think or hope for.

"I'm curious, Comrade Company Commander!" The veteran soldier was beside Shulka and asked as he probed the mines, "If you don't have those reinforcements, will you be helpless?" I mean, are we about to experience a failure? ”

The actor on the other side laughed: "Do you want to experience a defeat, Comrade Matvey?" ”

"No, of course not!" The veteran replied: "I'm just curious, wondering who can defeat our comrade company commander!" ”

"So!" Shulka laughed, "Do you really think we have reinforcements? ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, and the veteran stopped and asked Shulka: "What do you mean, comrade company commander?" We don't have reinforcements? ”

"No, of course!" Shulka replied: "But our reinforcements are only a tank company and ten anti-tank guns!" ”

By this time the Germans had already retreated, so there was no need for secrecy.

"The motor that rang non-stop last night......"

"It's just them going around in circles!" Shulka unravels the mystery.

The warriors were all stunned, and then they laughed "hehe".

The actor said to the veteran: "Comrade Matvey, you just wanted to know if we could defeat the enemy without reinforcements, and now you have the answer!" ”

The veteran spread his hands and replied, "So what? You've been cheated too, haven't you? ”

At this moment, there was an explosion from a hundred meters away, and the fighters lowered their heads slightly, and then continued to advance.

The mine detection work took more than two hours to complete, and then the trenches were dug again, the barbed wire fence was pulled, and the fire was deployed.

When they were done, the group was almost exhausted, and although it was muddy and still in the rain, the soldiers fell asleep wrapped in raincoats and leaned against the muddy trenches.

Reinforcements arrived that afternoon.

They were able to advance because the Debrandenburg troops had already abandoned Pushilo...... The main German forces gave up attacking Tula, and Pushilo naturally lost the value of holding on, so the Branfenburg troops disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

Shulka also had to admit that such a force was indeed a headache, they came and went as soon as they wanted in the Soviet-controlled area, but the Soviets did not have a good way to deal with them.

Reinforcements came by car, with a total strength of one regiment and 15 anti-tank guns.

These anti-tank guns were not enough to organize a defense, so even if they arrived, they would not be of much use.

But that's certainly not important now.

When the reinforcements came up, their eyes lit up when they saw the wreckage of the tanks that had been smashed or trapped in traps next to the railway.

It is said that Major Toslav, who came to reinforce the defense, asked Major Gavrilov with a look of disbelief when he took over the defense: "Are those really the tanks you destroyed?" Or the wreckage that they dragged back from the front line? ”

Major Toslav thought that at least some of the wreckage of the tanks had been left behind by other units after the battle.

"Oh yes!" Major Gavrilov replied: "They were all dragged here by the Germans from the front, a total of 133 ......"

"How did you do that?" Major Toslav asked: "133 units, and you have only two dozen tanks!" ”

This is indeed hard to believe, after all, the German armored forces have a record of defeating more than 1,000 Soviet tanks with more than 100 tanks.

"It's easy!" Major Gavrilov replied: "Aim, then fire, and they will be like this!" ”

The surrounding warriors couldn't help but laugh.

This is not because Major Gavrilov does not tell the other side about his combat experience, but because these tactics will not be clear for a while.

Not to mention, not all troops will be able to fight such a battle and win!
