It was the German tanks "No. 1" and "No. 2", which were indeed lighter and better suited for attacking in the mud.

But lightweight tanks often bring thin armor, such as the first tank is only 5.4 tons, and its frontal armor is only 13 mm.

THE THICKNESS OF THE ARMOR WAS CLEARLY OUTDATED, AND THE SOVIET 37MM AND 45MM ANTI-TANK GUNS COULD EASILY PENETRATE THEIR ARMOR.

The problem is that heavy rain can affect the line of sight...... As it is now, a burst of German artillery fire has set up a mist around the position, which is formed by the evaporation of rain from the heat released by the shells, and it has been around the position for a long time.

The Germans then fired another mortar shell and a heavy mist of water, as if they were smoke grenades.

This makes visibility very low, and you can barely see a dozen meters ahead, and even a tank has only a vague shadow.

On the other hand, the quality of Soviet gunners was not high...... There is no doubt about this, the troops are full of untrained recruits, even artillerymen.

This was mainly caused by the fact that the Soviet army was defeated and retreated as soon as the battle began: the troops left behind a large amount of equipment and a considerable number of casualties when retreating, so the equipment and establishment were in varying degrees of confusion.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOVIET ARMY'S 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN WAS ACTUALLY DECOMMISSIONED JUST A MONTH AGO, THAT IS, IT WAS MOVED BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE FOR 45MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, BUT DUE TO THE OUTBREAK OF WAR, THE 37MM GUNS WERE MOVED OUT AND USED AGAIN.

Another example is the establishment of the 333rd Regiment, which was previously assigned to the 79th Division and now is incorporated into the 78th Division for various reasons.

And there are not a few cases like this, which means that many troops are actually improvised patchwork of various units.

As a result, the Soviet anti-tank guns hidden in the fortifications fired at the target, but the German tanks kept advancing with a "rattle" sound, and at the same time, the machine guns and machine guns on their turrets were still "booming" at the Soviet trenches.

The quality of the German army was obviously much better than that of the Soviet army, and they were able to accurately hit the target even in this situation...... A DOZEN METERS BEHIND SHULKA WAS A 45MM ANTI-TANK GUN POSITION, AND SEVERAL MACHINE GUNS HIT THE SHIELD WITH A "SONOROUS" CRISP SOUND, FOLLOWED BY A SCREAM.

Apparently, the cannon bullet pierced the shield of the anti-tank gun and wounded the gunner hiding behind it.

"How did they do it?" The actor lying next to Shulka asked suspiciously.

Although the actor did not elaborate, Shulka understood what he meant.

If it was difficult for Soviet gunners to hit German tanks because of poor visibility, then German tankmen should have done the same...... The mist around the position does not distinguish between the enemy and your own people.

But even so, the Germans were able to hit their targets, while the Soviets were not.

Just now, Shulka also put it down to a "quality" problem, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong...... If you can't see the target, no matter how good your quality is, it's useless, not to mention that the anti-tank gun positions of the Soviet army are well hidden.

The anti-tank gun still has an advantage against tanks, not only because it has a wider field of view and it is easier to spot the enemy, but also because it has a low gun body and can also be camouflaged, so it is difficult for the enemy in the tank to find the anti-tank gun hidden in the position.

But now the opposite is true.

After observing for a while, Shulka soon knew that he had found the reason.

"Vapor, Okunev!" Shulka said: "The water vapor when the cannon is fired! ”

The actor quickly understood...... After the anti-tank guns were fired, the hot shells formed a trajectory of water vapor in the rain, which only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough for the Germans.

"Go and report to Comrade Ensign!" Shulka ordered the actors: "Let the anti-tank guns not fire indiscriminately, this will reveal their position!" ”

"Yes!" The actor replied, and then as soon as he turned around, he ran towards the company with his waist bent.

After a while, the Soviet anti-tank army really quieted down for a while...... At this time, Shulka was a little relieved, because the actor's report had already worked.

The reason why I said that I was relieved was because the communication equipment of the Soviet army was very bad, and Shulka reported to the company commander, and the company commander had to call and report to the regimental headquarters, and then the regimental headquarters would notify the artillerymen, and the artillery would then convey the order...... If any of these problems went wrong or any commander disagreed, Shulka's advice could not be implemented.

But now it seems that this situation does not exist, and there was a reaction in only two minutes before and after, which was quite quick for the Soviet troops.

What Shulka didn't know was that as soon as Major Gavrilov heard that this was Shulka's report, he immediately ordered the artillery to stop firing without the slightest hesitation...... Major Gavrilov, who knew the army better than Shulka, knew that at this time it would be much easier to order to stop shooting.

Then, Major Gavrilov slowly explained to the commander of the artillery battalion on the phone.

After the anti-tank guns stopped firing, the German tanks lost their target.

At this time, a strange scene happened: the battlefield suddenly fell silent, and both the enemy and us were waiting for the enemy to open fire and did not dare to fire easily, because as soon as the fire was fired, the bullet line would mean exposing their position to the enemy.

Soon the Soviets gained the upper hand.

Because the water mist near the position gradually dissipated, the German tanks gradually became clear, especially when the tanks discharged exhaust vapor, they would be enveloped in a cloud of water vapor......

With a few "booms", several anti-tank guns fired at the target at the same time, and soon a wisp of black smoke was seen, followed by a flash of fire.

The fire illuminated the nearby Germans, and the Soviets immediately fired a bunch of bullets and shells to suppress them.

In the firelight, Shulka noticed that German soldiers had jumped out of the anti-tank trenches ahead.

This alarmed Shulka, because it meant that the German infantry had already crossed the tanks and were closing in on the trenches...... This was a good idea, and even the tanks themselves were used to attract the attention of the Soviets, and then the German infantry would touch the Soviet positions, and then use the MP3 to charge after a row of grenades.

Shulka didn't think much about it, and immediately shouted: "Grenade! ”

At the sound of the order, the fighters put down their weapons, ignited the grenades, and threw them wildly in front of the position...... The way to deal with a grenade attack is to throw the grenade in front of the enemy first.

Shulka guessed correctly, and in the burst of "boom" explosions, a German scream was heard in the mist.

The rest of the Soviet troops suddenly woke up, only then did they realize that the Germans had touched the front of them, and hurriedly followed the grenade and threw it forward.
