There is another reason why Colonel Ovich is reluctant to admit that Major Gavrilov's advice is correct.

At this point, it was no longer a simple question of right and wrong, and Colonel Ovich considered one point:

If one day this battle attracts the attention of the superiors, that is, the information that the 333rd Regiment is blocking the German attack on the front line reaches the army commander or even the commander of the army group, then it is needless to say what will happen......

Why was the 333rd Regiment able to hold off the Germans?

Camouflage tactics with wooden houses!

But why did only the 333rd Regiment use this tactic, while the rest of the 79th Division collapsed? Major Gavrilov did not report such tactics?

Major Gavrilov reported, but Colonel Ovich did not accept the suggestion!

What the? Such a good suggestion was not accepted? This idiot! The sinner of this people, he is fully responsible for the defeat of this battle!

Needless to say, what will happen next is needless to say.

For Colonel Ovich, this was much more serious than the failure of the 79th Division to effectively hold off the German attack.

The reason is simple, there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the defensive line, and the 79th Division is only one of them, and there are many units like the 79th Division or even worse, so this is nothing, he does not need to take much responsibility.

But did not accept the advice of Major Gavrilov and did not report it...... That's a big problem.

After thinking about it, Colonel Ovich lowered his voice and said to the staff officer: "Major Gavrilov has not been here, there is no wooden house camouflage tactics, understand?" ”

The staff officer couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "Yes, Comrade Colonel!" ”

This further suppressed the cabin camouflage tactics...... Originally, this tactic could be carried forward in the next defensive line, after all, the entire defensive line has a depth of one to six kilometers.

Colonel Ovich thought it not, but his enemy, the German Admiral Kleist, did not, except that Admiral Kleist did not pay enough attention to it, although he was somewhat surprised by the losses suffered in the first attack.

"Interesting!" Kleist looked at the map and said: "The Russians disguised the bunker as a wooden house!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant replied: "So let's say, there were no problems with our previous reconnaissance!" ”

"The problem is, these 'cabins' do make it difficult for our attack!" Admiral Kleist said.

"General!" The adjutant said, "We can tell these huts with artillery!" ”

"Maybe you're right!" Admiral Kleist agreed: "Also, bring in the assault guns!" ”

"Yes, General!" The adjutant answered and passed the order on.

There is one thing that Admiral Kleist thinks the same as Colonel Ovich, and that is that he believes that the first defeat was caused only by the fact that the light enemy was ambushed by the enemy, after knowing that the enemy had hidden the pillbox with wooden houses...... He won't be fooled a second time.

So, it's time to teach these Ivan a lesson.

The whistling of shells soon rang out, and the dense shells swept back and forth over the position like combs, and the wooden houses were soon blown into piles of rubble.

Several Stuka bombers then joined the bombardment, dropping gasoline drums along with bombs as before, which caused a raging fire on the positions and even a lot of camouflage outside the bunkers.

Of course, the flames could not burn through the bunker, but the smoke continued to pour from the perforations into the bunker, causing Shulka and the soldiers to cough with snot and tears.

"Can we get out and breathe?" The thief asked.

"If you want to die at the hands of the enemy, go ahead!" Shulka replied: "But remember to bring the door with you when you go out, I don't want the Germans to throw grenades in from outside the door!" ”

"Okay!" The thief replied with difficulty: "They should improve the ventilation system!" ”

"Forget it, Comrade Fovalkov!" The veteran replied: "All the facilities here were stopped two years ago, and the machine guns we use may have been added not long ago!" ”

"The enemy is coming!" Shulka shouted.

The fighters all stood up and returned to their posts.

"What's that?" The veteran screamed in horror as he looked out through the hole.

"It's a tank, isn't it?" The thief replied without thinking.

"No, I've never seen a tank like this!" The veteran said.

"I don't see any difference between them!" The actor supports the thief's claim.

But Shulka knew that the veteran was right, and he recognized it as the German "No. 3 assault gun", which could be said to be designed to be used to attack pillboxes and permanent fortifications.

Its characteristics are...... THERE IS NO WEAK SIDE ARMOR, ITS SIDE ARMOR AND FRONT ARMOR ARE BOTH 50MM THICK.

THE M1930 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN USED BY THE SOVIET ARMY HAS A PENETRATION DEPTH OF ONLY 34MM WHEN FIRING ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS AT A DISTANCE OF 100 METERS, WHICH IS STILL A VERTICAL PENETRATION DEPTH.

That is, it was difficult for the Soviet troops to pose a threat to the "three assault guns", both frontal and flank.

Artillery and assault guns seem to be enough to deal with the Soviet defense line, because the assault gun is equivalent to a mobile pillbox, the German army can "pillbox" to suppress the pillbox, and then the German sappers who have more space and freedom outside can play a role in blasting the Soviet pillbox.

But the Germans would be wrong if they thought that "wooden house camouflage" was only so simple.

"Comrade Major!" Shulka made a call to Major Gavrilov:

"I think it's time to use Plan 2!"

"Do you recognize those tanks?" Major Gavrilov asked.

"No, I've never seen them!" Shulka lied, he could only say this, because at this time the number of "No. 3 assault guns" of the German army was not much, and there were not many inputs, and of course he, as a small soldier, could not know more about it.

Shulka gave a reason: "But if the Germans use them, it means that we will most likely not be able to pose a threat to them!" ”

"That's right!" Major Gavrilov agreed.

In fact, this also exposed a fatal weakness of the Soviet army...... the "No. 3 assault gun" has been used in other parts of the "Stalin Line" and even poses a great threat to the Soviet army.

If it is other armies, such as the British army and the American army, then of course the whole army will be notified of the threat of this equipment and even the possible possible countermeasures at the first time.

However, this is not the case with the Soviet army, not only because their communication equipment is extremely backward and information is not disseminated smoothly, but also because the quality of their officers is generally not high, and the officers and soldiers on the front line use tanks to describe "assault guns", while the commanders in the rear are confused and think that they are just tanks, so many pillboxes have been breached in this "ignorant" situation.

Of course, this will not happen in the defense area of the 333rd regiment.
