Shulka hid in the anti-tank trench for another ten minutes before he heard three artillery shots in the direction of the Soviet troops.

Both Lieutenant Davydov and Shulka knew what this meant, and it was a code that had been agreed upon, which meant that the communications corps had successfully passed the information to the regimental commander and was ready to cooperate...... The Soviet army's communications equipment was backward, and there was no radio station at the company level, so it could only use this stupid method to transmit information.

"Prepare for battle!" Second Lieutenant Davydov ordered in a low voice.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

……

Orders were passed down one after another, including several tanks hiding in the trenches, and they were also ordered to prepare for battle.

Soon, the whistling of shells in the direction of the Soviet troops began to sound in pieces, and some of the shells hit the German artillery positions on the high ground on both sides, and more of them hit the German lines.

The shells exploded on the German positions one after another, and at the same time provided cover for the third company while blasting the barbed wire fence laid by the Germans in front of the positions...... The tank restarted at this time, and the sound of the motor was completely drowned out by the sound of explosions.

On the other hand, the infantry next to the tanks also moved, and they paved a path for the tanks with shovels, sandbags and stones, and then the tanks slowly climbed up from the anti-tank trenches and drove towards the German lines.

The Germans had not even noticed this, as the smoke and explosions and the rain had made them completely unaware of the danger that was approaching them.

The sound of the cannon stopped suddenly...... The tanks were approaching the German trenches, and the shells were likely to be accidentally damaged.

A German soldier poked his head out, and then saw several terrifying shadows looming in the smoke and rain in front of him.

"Tanks, tanks for the Russians!" The German soldiers shouted in panic.

"Block them!" Colonel Marcus ordered loudly, he had no time to think about why these tanks and the enemy suddenly appeared in front of him without warning.

But it was too late to react.

"Grenades!" Major Davydov commanded loudly.

Rows of grenades were thrown into the rain by the soldiers, rolling in the void with a puff of smoke and a little spark, and then falling like a stone into the German trenches...... The German soldiers only had time to scream in panic when they spotted it, and then it was muffled by a bang of "boom".

At the same time, Soviet mortars fired rows of shells...... IT WAS A SOVIET SHOVEL-TYPE 37MM MORTAR, ALTHOUGH THE ACCURACY AND RANGE WERE INSUFFICIENT, BUT IT WAS A GOOD FIRE SUPPRESSION EQUIPMENT.

The shells exploded at about a hundred meters, and the Germans, who had just recovered from the shelling, and the anti-tank gunners who were ready to do so were once again thrown into chaos.

"Comrades, rush!" Second Lieutenant Davydov shouted.

"Rush!" With a shout, the fighters got up from their hideouts and rushed towards the enemy positions.

Unlike the previous Soviet charges, the fighters did not rush past the tanks.

Because they know that the enemy in front of them has a regiment.

A company of Soviet troops, even if they were able to storm the German positions, would have had little to no point in causing confusion.

But if there is the cover of tanks, it is different, after all, even the backward tank is a nightmare for the infantry, because its armor is impenetrable to machine guns and rifles, and its firepower will become a scythe that harvests the lives of the infantry.

Just like now, a few T26s broke into the German positions like tigers entering a flock of sheep, the tracks crushed the German troops hiding under the trenches, the machine guns always brought a bloody storm everywhere, and the shells were fired and blew up groups of enemies into the sky......

The infantry that follows the tanks targets the enemy who poses a threat or potential threat to the tank.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Shulka killed one of his enemies.

Shulka noticed that the German was holding a cluster grenade...... Needless to say, what is the role of a cluster grenade, of course, is to blow up a tank.

He hid behind a corpse and estimated the direction of the tank, then slightly adjusted his position.

It takes a lot of courage, as this often means that there is no return, and the weight of the cluster grenade means that it will be difficult for him to escape even if he succeeds in blowing up the tank.

Shulka saw in his eyes the determination to see death as if it were home, and the concentration to wait for the "prey".

At that moment, Shulka was shocked by this German soldier, and he seemed to have no thought about his life and death at all, and only thought about blowing up the tank.

His mistake was to put the cluster grenade around too early...... Shulka sensed danger as the bundled gadget, and fired a bullet into his owner's head.

In the end, the cluster grenade failed to explode, and as Shulka followed the tank past him, he saw a bullet hole in his helmet, a patch of blood washed out by the rain underneath, and he was still clutching the handle of the grenade in his hand and pulling a bundle of fuses in the other.

"Bang!" Another shot sent Shulka to the ground with a German soldier knocked to the ground.

It was a rifleman, but his rifle was on his back.

At this point, he should have had his rifle in his hand, and there must have been some other reason on his back, so Shulka didn't think about making him his next target.

Sure enough, when he jumped out of hiding and rushed to the tank, Shulka found him with an anti-tank grenade in his hand.

The Germans had an interesting anti-tank grenade, which the Germans called the "armor-throwing mine", and the Soviets called it the "parachute".

The reason is that its tail flares open like a parachute after being thrown...... This is to guarantee that the firing pin located in the warhead hits the tank and detonates.

ALTHOUGH THIS THING IS ONLY A GRENADE, IT CAN BLOW THROUGH 150MM OF ARMOR, WHICH IS QUITE POWERFUL.

But of course, the grenade didn't explode in the end.

Shulka fired a bullet that knocked him to the ground, but apparently missed the point, as he struggled for a while to continue crawling towards the tank.

The veteran who was next to Shulka spotted him and shot him up.

"Bang!" This shot knocked down an anti-tank gun shooter.

The anti-tank gun is often the most troublesome, because it poses the greatest threat to the tank, can penetrate the tank's armor from a long distance, and even has a considerable advantage on the battlefield with poor visibility due to its high rate of fire and wide field of view. 、

On the other hand, anti-tanks generally have a defensive shield, and if this shield is facing the infantry, the infantry is helpless against it.

Shulka was helpless about this target, but he poked his head out to observe in order to hit the target more accurately, so Shulka stopped his next move with a bullet in time.

As if in mind, the thief set fire to a grenade and threw it into the anti-tank gun position after a few quick runs.

Then there was a "boom", and the anti-tank gun was completely reimbursed.
