Colonel Becker was right, the white cloth and the white tank could be said to be one and the same...... This may not be so obvious from the ground, because the white cloth on the ground has a height difference with the tank, and the taller tank can be identified at a glance.

But if you look down from a fighter or bomber flying at high speed, it is snow-white, and it is not easy to identify the tank from the white cloth.

As a result, although the German air power had been reinforced, most of those fighters and bombers could only hover in the air and could not be used...... They saw almost exclusively their own tanks, and watched them destroy one by one.

Shulka also rushed out with his men and the tank.

Almost at the moment when the tank burst out of the house, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

In addition to protection and firepower, the first opportunity in tank warfare is also very important, because a tank division only has more than 100 tanks in total, and in the case of losing the first opportunity, it often loses most of it in the blink of an eye, and then it can no longer turn the tables.

So, don't look at the tall and powerful tanks with artillery, machine guns and thick armor, in fact, they are also very fragile on the battlefield, and for enemy tanks, it is actually a matter of an armor-piercing shell.

This was the case with the battle at this time.

The German 2nd Panzer Division had much more tanks than the 4th Tank Brigade...... The 2nd Panzer Division, the oldest armored unit of the German army, had 152 tanks, while the Soviet 4th Tank Brigade had only 63 tanks.

This is not because of battle damage, in fact, the 4th Tank Brigade did have battle losses, such as the previous Battle of Klin, as well as the battle of the attack on Volokolamsk, T34 lost more than 20 tanks due to malfunctions and other reasons.

However, these battle losses were quickly replenished...... The T34 produced by the Stalingrad Tractor Plant was given priority to replenish the 4th brigade of tanks.

The reason why the 4th Tank Brigade at this time only had 63 tanks was that they had to use some real tanks to hide from the world...... A total of twenty tanks led the fake tanks to Tver, and then these twenty tanks were also thrown into the battle to attack Tver, which can be regarded as the complete set of scenes.

That is, in the Volokolamsk direction, the number of Soviet tanks was less than half that of the German tanks.

At the same time, at close range, the protection and firepower of the T34 are actually no worse...... As I said before, at a distance of tens of meters, more than ten meters, or even only a few meters, anyone can penetrate anyone, and even the short-barreled gun of the "No. 4" can penetrate the T34, so there is no protection and firepower superiority.

This battle is about the first opportunity.

Tank No. 239, Shulka clearly remembers that its commander Fedosyev had drunk two days' worth of vodka rations at once last night, and then fell to the ground and fell asleep drooling without covering the quilt...... Shulka then understood why so many people in modern Russia would freeze to death on the streets.

At the moment when the battle began, Shulka thought it was over, and Fedosyev was not prepared at all.

But I didn't expect the tank to be very flexible in fighting.

It didn't stop after it broke through the door or window...... Most T34 tanks are accustomed to stopping and waiting for the body to stabilize before firing, but this is not really necessary in close combat.

At the same time, the constant maneuvering of the tank also makes itself not so easy to become a target for the enemy.

I saw that the No. 239 tank "boomed" as it advanced, and the "No. 4" tank in front of it was urgently turning the turret towards it.

The quality of the German tankmen of this "No. 4" tank was very good, because its emergency steering relied on the simultaneous movement of the body and turret, that is, the driver and gunner turned towards the target at the same time.

Obviously, this multiplies the steering speed, but it also requires almost perfect coordination between the driver and gunner...... Otherwise, neither the driver nor the gunner will be able to point accurately at the target if they turn a little more or less.

This requires a lot of training, as well as quick reflexes and adaptability.

Unfortunately, they were unable to move to the firing position in time for the T34 to open fire, and its fate was to be paralyzed in place as a pile of scrap metal.

Because of the close distance, Shulka and the others even clearly heard a crisp sound when the armor-piercing bullet pierced the tank's armor, and the "No. 4" tank shook as if it had hit someone and then stopped moving.

T34 continued to move forward, and a bullet hole appeared in front of Shulka, and the steel around the bullet hole was dented inward, and a few wisps of green smoke came out of it, and it was unknown whether it was the amount of iron of the shell or the violent collision of the shell with the armor.

However, Shulka at this time, of course, did not think about this, and he shouted "grenade...... One by one, the grenades with green smoke rolled over the tank bodies and headed straight for the German infantry to follow.

The German infantry had been on standby, but were immediately disorganized when grenades fell beside them.

That's one of the things that grenades do, because because of its delay, everyone knows what's going to happen next with this thing around.

As long as they are not stupid, no one will think about shooting but how to dodge, so the purpose of suppression is achieved.

With the explosion of "boom", the German soldiers were blown up, and Shulka and others used the wreckage of the German tank as a cover to shoot at the scattered and fleeing German troops.

One by one, the German soldiers were knocked to the ground.

Although they were all well-trained and experienced, they collapsed in a pool of blood before they had time to react to a series of mutations.

Tank No. 239, on the other hand, had already circled around the front of the wreckage in a god-like position, and then rushed towards another "No. 3" tank with full horsepower.

The reason why it is said to be a "god-like position" is that the German tank "No. 3" is turning the gun tank to the right, while the No. 239 tank appears on the left side in a circle under the cover of the wreckage of the tank.

The "No. 3" tank hurriedly adjusted its muzzle and turned back...... But it was too late, the No. 239 tank had already been reloaded, and then with a "boom", another number was added to the number of destroyed.

During the fighting, the Soviets also threw smoke bombs.

This was not only to further reduce visibility and deprive the Luftwaffe of its targets, but also because the Soviet tanks were painted white, making it easier to hide in the white smoke of the smoke grenades, while the black crosses on the German tanks were very noticeable...... In fact, it's literally a bull's-eye.

To make matters worse for the German tanks, they had never thought they would run into enemy tanks before, they thought their opponents would be infantry, just like the lines they had broken through.

The difference was that the vast majority of German tanks had grenades against infantry rather than armor-piercing shells in their breeches.
