Chapter 273: Transfer

The 4th Tank Brigade really should hurry, because there were only six days left when they discussed this plan.

And these six days...... They also have to sit back and wait for the Germans to be fooled, and after the Germans are fooled, they will at least have to give them a little time to go deep into the minefield.

So Major Zakhakavich did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Zhukov and made an application.

Zhukov did not hesitate and immediately agreed to this plan.

After all, as Shulka said, if the 4th Tank Brigade had to attack Tula, it would be a matter of time before it would expose its strength to the Germans.

The plan to use Shulka to "show weakness to the enemy" was only to expose the strength a few days earlier, which might have put a few more days of pressure on the defensive line, but the advantage was that it was possible to fool the enemy and risk the 3rd Panzer Division entering a minefield to storm Moscow.

Comparing the two, of course, the latter was more beneficial to the Soviet army.

So Zhukov did not hesitate, immediately approved Major Zakhakavich's request, and instructed: "Prepare for the transfer immediately, act tonight!" ”

"Tonight?" Major Zahakavich couldn't help but wonder.

In his mind, if he wanted to "show the enemy weak", he should act during the day, so that it was more likely that the German spies would find out and report it......

But Zhukov did not hesitate, he firmly ordered: "Yes, tonight!" ”

Shulka secretly praised in his heart after hearing the order, Zhukov is worthy of Zhukov, and he also knows the Chinese art of war, "the real is virtual, and the virtual is real".

The Germans are not stupid, and if you want to fool them, you'd better have a good reason and try to be secretive.

If training had been carried out during the day, as Major Zakhakavich had thought, the Germans would soon find out what was suspicious:

The Russian army knew that there were many spies in Moscow, so why did they still train during the day to expose the shortcomings of their tanks?

The 4th Tank Brigade was more of a night battle with German armored forces, why did it train during the day?

The 4th Tank Brigade had been hiding its whereabouts before, why did it suddenly reveal itself at this time?

……

All the doubts combined, and they easily got the answer: it was an elaborate hoax set up by the Russians.

On the contrary, if the Soviets tried not to let the spies find out, it could even be said that the more stealthy they did, the more convinced the Germans became.

Of course, it could not be kept secret to the extent that German spies could not get the information.

Zhukov did this very well.

He used the Workers' Independent Battalion to take charge of the 4th Tank Brigade.

The use of workers' independent battalions does not mean that they have good military qualities, but that their composition is particularly simple compared to the civil defense division or even the army.

Civil defense divisions, which were organized from the common people other than the workers, and were so numerous that German spies could easily mix in.

The army seems to be reassuring, but because of the reason that they were captured and rebelled in battle, there are actually many spies mixed in the army, and it is difficult to distinguish between these spies. What's even more embarrassing is that they don't even dare to tell the difference......

On the one hand, it may be that these spies themselves are officers with power in their hands. On the other hand, it is the sequelae of excessive censorship of the troops by political workers...... Internal reviews in wartime can affect morale and even mutiny.

On the contrary, the workers, these proletariats were registered one by one, and each of them recorded in detail his origins and work experience and performance, and it was much more difficult for German spies to mix in than in other units.

Of course, this will also attract the attention of German spies: what kind of action would actually require the independent battalion of workers to be on guard.

You must know that at this time, when Moscow was in short supply of materials, the workers' independent battalion said that it was an independent battalion, but in fact it was still producing weapons and ammunition for the Soviet army day and night, and only took some time to train during the rest time.

But now, they actually put down their labor to serve as a guard for a barracks.

As a result, it immediately attracted the attention of the spy.

The 4th Tank Brigade was transferred after the imposition of martial law when it became dark.

Of course, not all tanks were transferred......

T34 transferred only 17 vehicles.

This was the result of discussions between Major Zahakavich and Shulka and other officers.

Too few tanks will arouse the enemy's suspicions, too many, such as more than two dozen, then it is not much different from the 31 that the 4th Tank Brigade has, and there is not much point in covering up.

So in the end, 17 cars were finally ordered, not too much and not too little, and after a few battles, according to the consumption ratio, there was only this number left.

Then, the minesweeper tank was not transferred.

This is the secret weapon of the 4th Tank Brigade, and moving to the new barracks will leak the real strength and possibly more useful information to the German army.

And one more point, which Zhukov specifically requested.

"Comrade Shulka must be transferred!" Zhukov said: "With him, the spy will be convinced that it is the main force of the 4th Tank Brigade!" ”

This almost caused Shulka to spurt a mouthful of blood onto the ceiling.

But there seems to be some truth to that...... If the "breakout heroes" are not there, does it mean that this is only part of the 4th Tank Brigade?

So, that night, Shulka took his men in a car and followed the tank to the new barracks.

This barracks is also near the train station, which is about 17 minutes away...... This is the standard of the 4th tank brigade, and it is possible to maneuver quickly only if it is close to the railway station.

Training begins as soon as you arrive at the boot camp.

The training is real, but the situation is a bit weird, and it is the T26 instead of the T34 that starts...... Needless to say, what this represents, the T26 actually represents not the T26, but the minesweeper tank.

Sure enough, the news quickly spread to Feng. Bockna.

At this time, Bock was anxious about the predicament of the German army.

Most of the soldiers did not have the equipment to survive the winter, and the German High Command had always believed that the battle could be ended before the winter came, but now it was winter, and the snow continued to fall from the sky and pile up on the ground like goose feathers, but it was still far from the end of the war.

It wasn't until late autumn that Germany realized that things were not optimistic, and hastily began producing winter clothes.

However, it is clear that Germany's production capacity will not be able to meet the huge needs of the front in the short term.

Thereupon...... The Germans could only send a call to the whole country to collect winter clothes, and then load them all into trucks and send them to the front line, regardless of style and material.

However, because the transportation system has been severely damaged, transportation takes a long time.

As a result, the fighters at the front could only show their talents to meet the winter of the Soviet Union.

For example, newspapers were stuffed into clothes, socks were snatched from the people, and even thick skirts for women.

At this moment, the staff officer sent a telegram to Bock and said: "Your Excellency, I think you need to look at this!" ”
