The Cossack training method is actually not complicated, that is, the grenadier and the driver cooperate, and when the driver is driving the half-track to rush towards the enemy at the fastest speed, he will hold the grenade and prepare to throw it...... Since the grenade carries the inertia of the half-track car, it can be thrown farther.

As it was now, the Cossacks were able to command the grenadiers to throw grenades into the German crowd one after another, blowing up the Germans in a panic with a bang.

At this time, the grenade was even more effective than the mortar, because on the one hand, it was difficult for the mortar to hit the target at such a close distance, on the other hand, the mortar aimed at the target needed time to adjust the elements, and the half-track was running at high speed, so the mortar was always lagging behind, that is, hitting the target basically depended on luck.

The grenades, on the other hand, were quick to throw if they were trained, so the half-track sometimes turned and sometimes galloped, and one grenade after another was thrown from the rear compartment, blowing up the Germans to the point where they could not fight back.

And that's not the worst, the commandos are equipped with a bazooka for each half-track...... The original intention of this rocket launcher was to enhance its anti-tank capabilities, that is, it would not be defenseless in the event of an encounter with enemy armored vehicles and tanks.

But in fact, it is also very useful against infantry.

At this time, the bazooka shooters had already jumped out of the car, and after a little preparation on the ground, they "swished" at the German army and fired rockets one after another, and the casualties caused by the explosion of the anti-infantry rockets needless to say, several rockets hit the German car loaded with mines, and only a loud "boom" was heard, and the whole car was blown up into the sky.

The Germans hurriedly lay down in the snow piled up on the side of the road to resist...... At this time, most of the snow was piled up on the side of the road, whether it was the German army or the Soviet army, after occupying the road, they would use bulldozers or manual to clear the snow on both sides of the road, which was not only for transportation, but also because there were more than one meter high snow walls on both sides of the road, which made it difficult for planes in the sky to find the cars moving in between.

At this time, this snow wall could be used as a way for the Germans to resist the attack of the half-track commandos.

However, at this moment...... On the other side of the road, the roar of motors was heard again, and the German officers and men knew that they were finished.

The battle lasted forty minutes.

The strength of the two reinforced companies of the Soviet army annihilated and captured more than 1,000 German troops.

More than 1,000 men may not be much, at least compared to the previous battle with the Romanian cavalry brigade, but these are the German 46th Infantry Division, which has quite good combat effectiveness and quality.

And the form of this battle was somewhat strange, the German infantry division was in a state of not being able to fight and fight, and not being able to escape.

Let's fight!

The Germans were helpless against the half-track armored vehicles, and machine guns, rifles, etc. could not penetrate the armor of the half-tracks.

Anti-tank guns may have been, but they didn't have time to be deployed, and they were excellent targets for bazookas.

Anti-tank grenade ...... Forget it, it can't get close enough to throw it.

Run away!

Cars and barrel cars were destroyed at the first time, and of course the two legs could not run the wheels and tracks of the half-track car.

The Germans even thought of a countermeasure, and they fled in several directions.

The problem was that the half-tracks were fast and firepowered, and they were like wolves running fast, sometimes scattering and sometimes congregating, driving the fleeing Germans everywhere.

In the end, the Germans found that there was no way to escape, so they could only raise their hands and surrender.

The advantage of this battle was that the troops did not have to follow behind the minesweepers after the march, because the German mine-laying units had already been eliminated, and then a rapid reconnaissance unit was placed in front of the troops...... This so-called rapid reconnaissance unit is actually a few half-track vehicles with two light tanks to step on mines, T34 is too cost-effective if it is blown up, if you want to blow up the light tanks that are basically eliminated or relatively cheap half-tracks!

But at this time Katukov was a little reluctant.

"Comrade Shulka!" Katukov said: "I didn't expect that the half-track had such a role, is it not appropriate to use it for reconnaissance?" ”

"Colonel, they're fit for this!" Shulka said: "Because it's fast, and at the same time the firepower and defense are quite good!" ”

"But...... We don't have many half-tracks! ”

"Don't worry, Colonel!" Shulka said: "It is produced much faster than tanks, so it is worth scouting with it!" ”

Katukov nodded in agreement.

"Even so!" Shulka said: "I'm afraid we still don't have enough time! ”

Katukov knew what Shulka meant, so at best he would buy the 1st Guards Tank Brigade an hour or two.

If the Germans had organized an effective defense of Zhankoy, it would still have been difficult for the 1st Guards Tank Brigade to capture Zhankoy before enemy reinforcements arrived.

After a moment of silence, Katukov asked Shulka: "Do you have a way?" ”

Shulka raised his head at the Germans of the captured 46th Division on the side of the road and said, "Why don't we learn from them?" ”

"You mean dealing with enemy reinforcements?" Katukov wondered: "But we are on a different route from them!" ”

Shulka pointed to the map spread out on the ground and said: "The enemy rushed from Simferopol to Zhankoy, and we rushed from Feodosia to Zhankoy. The three cities are triangular in shape. If, we let the Air Force do its best to stop the enemy before dark, and then we will organize assault teams with mines on half-tracks to cross the road from Simferopol to Zhankoy......"

"So we can get ahead of them?"

"Yes!" Shulka nodded: "And as far as I know, the Germans did not have minesweeper tanks, at least not now!" ”

"Good idea, Comrade Shulka!" Katukov laughed: "This will slow down the advance of the enemy's reinforcements as much as possible, although I don't know if the time we have gained will be enough for us to capture Zhankoy, but this is the best way!" ”

"I'm going to organize a commando!" Shulka said.

"Of course!" Katukov nodded, paused, and then stopped Shulka: "But you can't take part in this assault, I mean, you can give this mission to Comrade Venyakov!" ”

Venyakov was the deputy head of the regiment, and it was certainly no problem to direct the operation.

But Shulka still wondered why Katukov had arranged it this way.

"Because of the Air Force, Comrade Shulka!" Katukov explained: "There are so many air forces to be mobilized...... I think it's just you! ”
