Soviet fighters flew over the 1st Guards Tank Brigade for the first time.

This is a prerequisite for the operation of armored forces...... Although the tank has the advantages of firepower, protection and maneuverability, it also has the disadvantage of being clumsy in response to large targets, which makes it a good target for enemy aircraft, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a target.

This is one of the reasons why the German army attaches great importance to the development of the air force, and air supremacy is a prerequisite for a "blitzkrieg".

Therefore, the German "blitzkrieg" could not be played in the later stage of World War II, not only because the German army suffered heavy losses and its quality declined, but also because the Luftwaffe had lost air supremacy under the large-scale investment of American fighters, bombers, and transport planes.

Once they lose air supremacy, the maneuver of the armored forces is a joke, they are always blown up on the way to the target, and by the time they reach the destination, they are already defeated and unable to fight.

At this time, the Soviet Air Force had the upper hand, and at the same time the High Command also valued Tver's willingness to provide air assistance to the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, and Katukov certainly did not give up this opportunity.

More than 20 Soviet fighters were covering the sky over Tver and even to the west, and about 100 fighters were on standby, and once the German fighters were dispatched, they would be intercepted by Soviet fighters.

On this basis, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade launched an artillery attack on the railway at the first time.

In fact, the Soviets have always been able to bomb German railways.

Such as long-range artillery fire, bomber bombing, and so on.

Unfortunately, the days were long and the nights were short in Moscow at this time, and the day was fifteen hours a night.

Moreover, the German army organized a large number of Soviet civilians to do labor, and the railways were repaired with bombing, so the blockade effect with artillery fire and bombers was not good, especially the Luftwaffe occupied a single quality advantage although it was at a disadvantage...... The Luftwaffe was at a disadvantage because of the cold weather, lack of fuel and other factors, which greatly reduced the lift rate, but they still had advantages in fighter performance and pilot quality.

But now it's different.

The railway is only two hundred meters from Tver and is also under the Tver Bridge...... The railway was built on the river.

Soviet tanks and even light mortars could easily blow it up.

To make matters worse, the Germans could not repair it, and anyone sent to repair it would undoubtedly be suppressed by Soviet fire.

As a result, the German transport was simply cut off.

The most tragic were the German troops who were deployed in the tunnels of the Tver Bridge.

Most of them were machine gunners and snipers, as well as anti-tank artillerymen, who were hoisted into the bridge by rope as they descended.

But the occupation of the bridge deck means that there is no way for them to retreat, and the bridge hole is dozens of meters away from the river, if the river is in the river, it is okay, you can escape by jumping down, but it is frozen ice.

As a result, the German troops in the bridge fell into a dilemma of not being able to advance or retreat.

The actor poked his head out and looked down, and with a "bang", a bullet flew up and knocked his hat flying, and it hit the bridge and bounced off and rolled in the opposite direction before falling under the bridge.

The surrounding warriors laughed "coaxing".

"Go after your hat, Okunev!"

"I heard that you have a habit of hiding your horse box cigarettes in your hat?

……

This is indeed a habit for actors, because the temperature is too low, and if you put the cigarettes in the tin box and put them in the jacket pocket as usual, the result is usually so cold that you can't open it at all.

This is intolerable for actors.

So he put the tobacco in a small cloth bag and put it on the top of his hat.

In his words, this can not only keep you warm, but also feel the smell of tobacco at all times, and more importantly, you can smoke whenever you want to smoke without worrying about the tobacco being frozen into powder like ice cubes.

At this time, the actor regretted it too much, and watched the hat with the tobacco hidden in it fly under the bridge and disappear without a trace.

"These bitches raised them!" The actor gritted his teeth with hatred.

He hesitated, then ran to the carriage as fast as he could...... Horse-drawn carriages were standard for the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, with approximately one or several vehicles per company to transport supplies.

Horse-drawn carriages may be low-class elsewhere, but this was not the case in the Soviet winter.

The reason is that the car needs fuel, it will freeze at low temperatures, it will be difficult to start, and in the thick snow, the wheels will get stuck and cannot move, etc.

At this time, the carriage is more convenient, because it only needs to change the wheels to a sled, and then it can run fast under the drag of the horse, and even because of the use of the sled, the load capacity is not low.

The actor took out a Molotov cocktail from the carriage, lit it with a "bullet lighter", and then quickly leaned out and threw it into the bridge hole below.

Screams ensued, and the German soldiers in the bridge could not escape...... At first, they were able to hide on the other side of the bridge, but the fire would spread between the ammo boxes.

In fact, what is more important is the German soldiers who were set on fire, surrounded by flames, they had long lost their minds in extreme pain, and people at that time always reflexively ran to their comrades in the hope of getting help, so soon there were fires everywhere, and there was the sound of ammunition exploding in between.

Some of the German soldiers could not bear the pain, so they simply jumped from the bridge hole, and then fell on the ice of the river with a "horn".

Shulka couldn't see what they were all about, as the flames were still burning, and all they could see was clouds of black smoke.

This is a wake-up call for others.

Before that, it was not easy for the Soviets to attack the enemy in the bridge, because they would be shot by the enemy below as soon as they took aim, as the actor did before...... Especially if you are not sure to aim at a target that is directly below you, you will fall under the bridge.

But if you throw Molotov cocktails like an actor does, it's much simpler.

Without saying a word, the others took Molotov cocktails from the carriage and lit them, and threw them one after another under the bridge below.

During this time, some German soldiers shouted anxiously: "No, no, don't do this, we surrender!" ”

But this did not help, the Soviet troops who carried out the interspersed tasks did not leave prisoners, they did not have the energy and conditions to take prisoners, and the prisoners would not only distract the soldiers, but also have many uncertain dangers, such as when it was dark, and then when the Germans attacked.

Molotov cocktails were thrown down, and screams rang out, and soon the entire bridge was filled with flames and smoke, and German soldiers with burning heads jumped from the holes.

This brutal scene terrified the sights of the nearby German troops.

"They deserve it!" The instructor said next to Shulka: "This is what happened to the invaders!" ”
