Chapter 334: Hand-to-hand combat

There is one thing that Shulka and others did not expect, although the German "No. 3" tanks were only 15 kilometers per hour in the snow, they were determined to fight close combat with the Soviet troops, and it only took one minute to break into the Soviet tank formation through the smoke at full speed.

Gunfire and artillery soon rang out, and the German tanks fired wildly from their machine guns, while the main guns turned to the side armor of the Matilda tank and destroyed it with a "boom...... This is the quality of the German tank crew, several of them do their own duty to make the tank against both infantry and enemy tanks, and they are not at all panicked.

In this respect, the Germans were right to use the tactics of close combat, if the Soviets really only had the "Matilda" and "M3 medium" tanks at this time.

BECAUSE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN PENETRATE THE 47MM ARMOR OF THE "THREE" IS THE 75MM GUN OF THE M3 MEDIUM TANK, AND THE OTHER MAIN GUN OF THE M3 MEDIUM IS ONLY 37MM, WHICH IS NOT EVEN COMPARABLE TO THE "MATILDA" MAIN GUN.

HOWEVER, THE M3 MEDIUM 75MM GUN WAS ALMOST INEFFECTIVE IN CLOSE COMBAT DUE TO ITS NARROW FIRING RANGE.

Therefore, the German army at this time should have won the game here.

Feng. Major General Funk thought the same way, so he excitedly shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Well done!" Soldiers, they're finished! ”

But before the words could be spoken, several German tanks were destroyed immediately after a few explosions.

Feng. Major General Funk felt a little strange at this time.

As he said before, if the enemy destroyed the German tanks with artillery fire, then now that the tanks of the enemy and us have been mixed together, the artillery fire should be useless.

This means ...... It may not be artillery fire that plays a role!

So what could it be?

Tank guns?

"What's going on?" Feng. Rear Admiral Funk asked: "Can their tanks destroy ours?" ”

"General!" Colonel Jonas, who was directing the operation at the front, replied: "I didn't see the enemy tank guns firing!" ”

"What's that?" Feng. Rear Admiral Funk asked loudly: "What destroyed our tank?!" ”

"I don't know!" Colonel Jonas replied, "But they can...... Our tanks are under attack! ”

The difference between bazookas and artillery fire is that they can still be useful when the enemy and our tanks are in a mess.

Because for the infantry, the large tank is very easy to identify, especially the German tank has a black "ten" printed on the side.

"The black 'ten' is simply a bull's-eye!" After the battle, the Cossacks said: "It gave us a sign to aim, but you'd better not look at the 'cross', but at the bottom of it!" ”

The Cossacks had risen to platoon commander by this time.

This was what Shulka meant, although his position as platoon commander was opposed by many, including the instructor.

"Comrade Captain!" The instructor said: "We all know what kind of person Kuzia is, he forms cliques and bullies the weak, if he is made a platoon commander...... I'm afraid the Cossacks will ride on the heads of others! The fighters in the platoon all thought it was not a good idea! ”

"I know, Comrade Pukarev!" Shulka replied: "But isn't the formation of a Cossack gang an organizational and unitary ability?" ”

"What?"

"The Cossacks are the only ones who want to see the horse, right?"

"Yes!"

"He's pretty good at fighting, isn't he?"

"Yes!"

"The Cossack gang also fought well under his command, did they?"

"Yes, but ......"

"That's enough!" Shulka said: "We need such a platoon commander!" ”

"But he can't convince the people!" The instructor said: "There are many people in the platoon who have been bullied by him and the Cossacks!" ”

"If he can't do it, I can change it to someone else!" Shulka said.

"Okay!" The instructor spread his hands.

However, it can be seen from the instructor's expression that he does not agree with Shulka's promotion.

For this, Shulka also asked the Cossacks.

"There are a lot of people who don't agree with you being a platoon commander because they think you're going to continue to let the Cossacks bully others!" Shulka asked directly, "Will you?" ”

"No, I won't!" The Cossacks replied very simply: "Because if I am a platoon commander, it means that they have all joined the Cossack gang, and I will take them to bully others, especially the Germans!" ”

Shulka couldn't help but laugh, that was the effect he wanted.

Sure enough, after the Cossacks became platoon commanders, there was no such thing as the Cossack gang bullying others.

The Cossack seemed to see himself as the boss of the gang, and his subordinates were the younger brothers, and the younger brothers dealt with each other impartially.

As for those outside the platoon...... In fact, every platoon commander, every company commander, and even Shulka himself are accustomed to protecting their shortcomings, after all, they are their brothers who were born and died, who can they protect if they don't protect them?

So, a lot of times it should be considered from the other side.

Not long ago, Shulka made up his mind to remove the Cossack squad leader, but now not only did he not withdraw, but he was promoted.

As a platoon commander, the Cossack was supposed to lead his troops into battle, but he seemed to have a natural affection for the "Bazooka", so he carried a bazooka on his back.

It turned out that he was right in this idea, and the Cossacks played bazookas by feeling...... This may have been practiced when he used submachine guns for a long time, and he often relied on his hand to fight submachine guns, because of the poor accuracy of this thing, and sometimes it was strafed in his hand.

The same is true of the Cossack after changing to a bazooka, feeling its weight on its back, imagining its trajectory out of its disembowelment, and then pulling the trigger, with a "chirp", the rocket goes straight to the target.

In this battle, the Cossacks alone took out three tanks in succession.

This would have been almost impossible before...... One infantryman took out three tanks and was still alive.

But with a bazooka and still in a tank dogfight, the impossible becomes possible.

At this time, Colonel Jonas of the German army seemed to have discovered the problem.

"I see it, General!" Colonel Jonas said: "That's a single weapon!" ”

"What?" Feng. Major General Funk didn't understand, or he understood but couldn't believe it.

"Something that destroys our tanks!" Colonel Jonas said: "Not artillery, not tank guns...... It's a single weapon, a cannon that they fire on their shoulders! ”

"Individual weapons? Are you sure? Can they destroy our tanks? ”

"Yes, General!" Colonel Jonas replied: "I'm sure it looks like a bazooka because there's a very obvious ......"

"Boom!" There was no sound on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Colonel, Colonel......" Funk shouted a few times without hearing a response, and then he understood what was happening.
