Feng. Bock glanced at the telegram, and was quickly caught by its contents.

"What?" Feng. Bock raised his head and looked at the staff officer: "You mean to say that there are only a dozen T34s left in the Fourth Tank Brigade of the Russian Army?" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied: "It is not only us who are in difficulty, Your Excellency Marshal, but the Russians are also on the verge of collapse. The 4th Tank Brigade, which we have been worried about, has already drawn T34s from various units before this, and after several fierce battles, especially the Battle of Tver, they have suffered heavy losses and are far less powerful than before! ”

Feng. Bock nodded.

This is consistent with previous intelligence, especially the battle in Tver...... Although the German army was a complete defeat in that battle, and even because the Russian army blew up the bridge, it was difficult to supply to the north, and it was difficult to pose a real threat to Moscow.

Now, von. Bock could only pin his hopes for an assault on Moscow in the center and south.

However, the T34 lost by the Soviets in Tver was real, the wreckage of the tanks, the corpses of the tank crews, and the ...... captured by the Germans because of the breakdown The Germans even repaired a few of them and immediately repainted them and incorporated them into their own armoured units.

It was a very good tank, von . Bock even believed that as long as the 4th Tank Brigade had enough T34s, the Germans would never be able to storm Moscow.

But now...... Here's your chance!

Feng. Bock looked at the map, and then immediately called Guderian, the commander of the 2nd Panzer Group.

"Good news!" Feng. "We get accurate information that the Russians T34 are seriously inadequate!" Bock said. ”

"We've always known this, Your Excellency!" Guderian replied: "They lack all their equipment, but we are no better!" ”

"No, this time it's different than usual!" Feng. Bock said, "Do you believe it? There are only a dozen T34s in the 4th tank brigade, we are not sure how many, but no more than twenty! ”

"The 4th Tank Brigade? You mean the 'T34 troop'? ”

The 4th Tank Brigade was called the "T34 Unit" by the Germans because it was all equipped with T34.

In addition, the 4th Tank Brigade has other nicknames, such as "Death Tank Brigade", "Breakthrough Tank Brigade" and so on, but "T34 Unit" is the most commonly used.

"Yes!" Feng. Bock replied: "But it can't be called 'T34' troops now, because they are recharged with a large number of T26 and KV1 tanks!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Guderian did not show von. The excitement of Bock's imagination.

"I think that's why they chose to block the 3rd Panzer Division with mines instead of counterattacking Tula!" Feng. Bock continued: "They are hiding themselves, trying not to expose their weaknesses to us. But let us know anyway! ”

"Do you think we should attack, Marshal?" Guderian asked.

"Of course!" Feng. "Why not?" Bock said. We don't have much time left, and who knows how many degrees the temperature will drop, I just know that the further down the delay the worse it will be for us! At that time, the Russians were not needed, and the weather would have frozen us to death outside Moscow! So, let your 3rd Panzer Division advance, I'm sure those mines won't stop their tracks! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Guderian replied.

After putting down the phone, Guderian fell into deep thought.

He couldn't see anything wrong with this, but his instincts scared him a little...... Guderian knew that the more this time, that is, when the situation required the Germans to attack and achieve a quick victory, the less he could be in a hurry.

Because the consequence of being anxious is often to lose the last chance to win.

But how can we solve the situation in front of us?

If it is a trap for the Russians in front of the 3rd Panzer Division, then what is this trap?

Guderian set his eyes on the map, and after thinking for a while, a plan took shape in his mind.

Then, Guderian and von . Bock got in touch.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Guderian said: "I have a suggestion...... We all know that there is only one of the 4th tank brigades of the Russian army! ”

"Yes!"

"If the 4th Tank Brigade lacks T34, then other tank units may be even shorter!"

"Of course!"

"Then why don't we attack on both sides?" Guderian said: "It is impossible for the 4th tank brigade to defend in two directions, is it? ”

Shulka got the news at dawn the next day.

The 4th Tank Brigade adopted the strategy of training at night and stealing during the day, not only because the battle they were about to fight was a night battle, but also because it was a kind of trickery to fool the Germans...... If it is also trained during the day, the tank can easily be exposed to enemy reconnaissance aircraft, which in turn makes the lie untrue.

While Shulka was lying on the bed and "whirring" asleep, he was woken up by Major Gavrilov.

"There is a situation!" Major Gavrilov said: "The Germans have attacked!" ”

Shulka let out an "oh" and felt a little strange at the same time...... The Germans should have attacked as expected, so what did you wake him up!

Shulka just wanted to lie down and continue sleeping, but was dragged up by Major Gavrilov: "Meeting, Comrade Shulka, you will sleep in the future!" ”

Dragged to the command in a daze, Shulka hadn't even opened his eyes yet...... After a night of training last night, he was woken up not long after he lay down, and sometimes Shulka would rather be blown to pieces by a shell on the battlefield and then not have to have such a hard time.

"The Germans concentrated their forces and launched a fierce attack on our defensive line!" Major Zakhakavich said: "But not Tula, but Volokolamsk!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Shulka suddenly fell asleep: "Volokolamsk? ”

"Yes, Volokolamsk!" Major Zakhakavich replied: "The 3rd Panzer Division in the Tula direction is still on its feet. ”

"So......" said Major Gavrilov, "our 'show of weakness' did work, but the effect was not to lead the German 3rd Panzer Division into the minefield, as we imagined, but to make the Germans intensify their attack on Volokolamsk!" ”

The change caught everyone off guard, including Shulka.

What now?!

Reinforcements Volokolamsk?

Or a counteroffensive to Tula?

Choosing the former means not being able to complete the tasks of the superiors, and choosing the latter means that Volokolamsk may be in danger!

"We can send reinforcements to Volokolamsk!" Major Gavrilov said: "The reserve forces that we rescued from Tver! ”

"It's already been done!" Major Zahakavich said: "The problem is Tula...... Do they see something? ”
