After a moment of silence, Shulka said, "I've heard that stealth tactics are often used when attacking difficult lines or when hoping to surprise the enemy, right?" ”

"Yes!" Major Gavrilov nodded: "Lurking in front of the formation, it can shorten the distance of the attack, especially if the artillery is not enough to suppress the enemy!" ”

If the artillery cannot suppress the enemy, it means that the enemy can use artillery to cover the forward positions.

As a result, groups of infantry rushing up will be blown up by teams and then pass through enemy machine-gun fire...... Such a charge proved unfeasible in World War I.

Therefore, the common method of infantry is to send a small team to sneak in front of the enemy's trenches, sometimes the distance is frighteningly close, just a dozen meters or even a few meters in front of the position, and even the sound of the enemy's conversation in the trenches can be heard, so they lie still on their stomachs.

Then when the battle begins, it's different, these soldiers lurking in front of the enemy position will throw grenades at the enemy trench and then rush into the trench to cause confusion for the enemy, and the follow-up troops will take advantage of this time to rush forward.

"But what's the use of that?" Zahakavich asked suspiciously: "Lurking with this tactic?" It was a bridge, there was no shelter and no place to hide......"

"Tank wreck!" Shulka interrupted Major Zakhakavich and said: "There are still dead bodies! ”

So Major Gavrilov and Major Zakhakavich understood.

Major Gavrilov nodded and said, "It's a good idea, hiding behind the wreckage of a tank or disguised as a dead body, but it's too dangerous......

"No, it won't work at all!" Major Zahakavich objected: "Even if we manage to lurk, what can we do, they still can't break through the line, the enemy only needs two machine guns to block them on the bridge!" ”

"I'm not just talking about infantry!" Shulka said: "And tanks!" ”

"Tanks?" Zakhakavich and Major Gavrilov looked at Shulka suspiciously.

They knew that infantry was lurking, but it was the first time they had heard of tanks lurking.

"Yes, tank!" Shulka explains: "Just as an infantry can be disguised as a dead corpse, so can a tank disguise itself as a 'dead corpse'!" ”

Zakhakavich and Major Gavrilov couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a long time before Major Gavrilov seemed to react.

"It's a bold plan, and it's doable!" Major Gavrilov said: "Even if the enemy has suspicions...... OTHER ANTI-TANK EQUIPMENT POSES NO THREAT TO THE T34 FROM A HUNDRED METERS AWAY, AND THE SHELLS OF THE 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS ARE SO VALUABLE THAT I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD EASILY USE THEM TO VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF A TANK WRECKAGE! ”

"But we also have to face armored trains when we charge!" Major Zahakavich frowned: "I mean, even if we succeed in lurking...... It will also be difficult for us to break through the enemy's bridgehead defenses! ”

"If the lurking is successful, we may be able to pass the bridge in a few minutes!" Shulka replied.

"That's right!" Major Gavrilov immediately drew a picture on the ground: "We should have the 'No. 1 Bridge' and the 'No. 2 Bridge' in synergy...... When the 'No. 1 Bridge' was lurking, the 'No. 2 Bridge' immediately attacked. This will allow the armored train to be transferred to the 'Second Bridge', so we will have a few minutes! ”

Major Zakhakavich was silent for a moment, then said: "This is a solution, but ...... The enemy's anti-tank guns, those around the bridgehead will also pose a great threat to our tanks! ”

As mentioned before, the German anti-tank guns were not useless, and they could still penetrate the T34 within a hundred meters.

This distance is not worth mentioning at all in other battlefields, because the machine guns and artillery of the T34 have already bombarded them into the sky, and the infantry in charge of covering them can also suppress or even blow them up with mortars.

The problem was that the Soviets were attacking along the narrow bridge deck, and the forces could not be deployed, and at the same time had to pass quickly.

In this way, these anti-tank guns will pose a great threat to the T34, which cannot stop and aim and shoot all the way, and even a distance of 100 meters can be said to be a dozen and one accurate, and they can hit at any point.

"So we need an artillery!" Shulka picked up a piece of wood, drew a semicircle around the bridgehead, and said: "This kind of artillery can densely cover every position of the enemy's bridgehead position of about 200 meters in a short time, so that the enemy's anti-tank guns will be ineffective for a short time...... Then, our undercover troops will be able to rush across the bridge! ”

"Katyusha?!" Major Gavrilov and Major Zakhakavich said in unison.

True, only "Katyusha" will be able to accomplish this task.

Other artillery pieces may have more power and better accuracy than the Katyusha, but none of them can match the instantaneous explosiveness of the Katyusha...... A "Katyusha" has 8 guide rails, and each rail is hung with a rocket on the top and bottom, that is, there are 16 rockets, and these 16 rockets can be fired in 7 to 10 seconds, that is, two rockets are fired in almost one second.

Of course, 16 rockets in one rocket are still not enough, but what if there are two, three or even more? And smashed them densely into a small area...... Although the accuracy is very poor, just like a saturation attack, a random smash can turn that area upside down, and it is done in a short time.

As a result, the German bridgehead line within 200 meters of the bridgehead would be paralyzed for at least a short time, and they would have to redeploy their firepower if they were to recover, even if the Germans were well-trained and prepared, it would take only a few minutes.

But it only took a few minutes for the Soviets to rush in front of them with their tanks and infantry......

Major Gavrilov set his sights on Major Zakhakavich.

Major Zakhakavich, who at this time was the supreme commander of the 4th Tank Brigade and at the same time more familiar with tank operations, his opinion was the most convincing.

"I agree!" Major Zakhakavich nodded and said: "This plan does have the possibility of success, but we need to do two things: one is to have enough 'Katyusha', and the other is to have close cooperation among all troops, and each link must strive to be completed within three minutes, as long as there is a problem in one link...... We risk suffering heavy losses and losing our chance to win! ”

Major Zakhakavich was right when he said that the most important thing in this plan was coordination, and this was precisely what the Soviet army lacked.

Of course, it also requires luck.
