If Kubil had known that his opponent was the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, he would not have dared to be arrogant, thinking that everything was under his control, and even deliberately allowed it to go, planning to use the 1st Guards Tank Brigade to force Hopner or even Hitler.

But who knows that? The 1st Guards Tank Brigade is the famous "T34 Unit", but this unit in front of it uses clumsy British and American tanks!

But the battlefield is like this, there is no regret medicine to take.

Kubil could only consider himself unlucky, and immediately ordered the 29th Infantry Regiment to be ready for battle, and urgently transferred the 6th Panzer Division to Tver.

Of course, Kubil did not forget to warn the commander of the 6th Panzer Division, Lucas.

"Remember the 1st Guards Tank Brigade of the Russians?" Kubil asked.

"Of course!" Lucas replied.

"They're the ones in Tver!" Kubil said: "That is, your opponent!" ”

"What? Shouldn't their tank be 'T34'? ”

"I don't know why, but they are indeed the 1st Guards Tank Brigade!" Kubil replied: "Although there is no 'T34', they are equipped with new equipment, and that may be the reason!" ”

Lucas did not answer, not knowing whether it was because he agreed with Kubil's words or felt the pressure against the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

"Any questions?" Kubil asked.

After thinking about it, Lucas replied: "I am not afraid of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, the generals, especially the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, which uses British and American tanks. I have confidence in my subordinates, and I have confidence in our tanks. But we don't know anything about the enemy's new equipment, so how can we deal with them? ”

"That's right, Major General!" Kubiler agrees with Lucas's analysis: "So, I had people gather some information about these new equipment. ”

"Information?"

"Yes, from the 7th Panzer Division!"

Lucas immediately understood that there were some survivors of the 7th Panzer Division, and they could indeed provide some useful combat information.

"I'll send you this information right away!" "You can discuss with your men on the way to it, or some possible tactics!" ”

"Okay, General!"

Lucas did exactly that, and immediately after receiving the information, he actively discussed countermeasures with his subordinates.

They even made a number of correct judgments about bazookas.

"We think it's a short-range piece of equipment!" "Because they use close combat when fighting the 7th Panzer Division, and at the same time they do not open fire until our tanks are within a hundred meters...... This means that the range of this new weapon is likely to be only 100 meters! ”

"We know, it's a rocket!" Another officer said: "Because a lot of people have seen its wake and its distinctive whistling sound. But it is impossible for an ordinary rocket to penetrate the armor of our tank head-on. And quite a few of the tanks that were hit were ignited or detonated, very similar to the situation when our anti-tank grenades hit their targets! That is, this rocket, most likely, is to load our anti-tank grenades on rocket propulsion! ”

(Note: The German PWM anti-tank grenade uses the principle of conical charge.) ）

"So, they can throw an anti-tank grenade a hundred meters away?" Lucas was shocked.

This was already terrible, because the Germans were only 20 meters away by manpower.

Although it doesn't seem to be much different, the difference between 100 meters and 20 meters is a short 80 meters.

But they all know that in actual combat, sometimes a little range can affect the entire battle or even the war.

For example, the shift from front-loading to rear-loading of rifles has resulted in almost massacre of front-loading troops.

Another example is the process from a smoothbore gun to a rifled gun, which is another one-sided bloody ending.

And now it is the enemy who has the advantage in range, at least in terms of anti-tank equipment.

The officers were silent for a while, and then said: "So, we think that we should try our best to avoid close combat with the Russian tank units, as long as we keep a distance of a hundred meters, our tanks will be safe!" ”

If Shulka had heard these analyses, he would have only been afraid to sigh at the quality of the German army.

Bazooka is nothing new to modern people, and it's normal to know these performances.

However, it is really not easy for the German army, which has never been exposed to bazookas or even heard of them, to guess based on its performance on the battlefield.

Even the tactics chosen by the Germans were correct...... Do not engage in close combat with enemy tank units, maintain a distance of at least a hundred meters, etc.

But they ignore one point, the rocket launcher can be said to be an artifact of street fighting, especially in the direction of anti-tank, even modern and much more advanced tanks often cannot escape the "claws" of rockets in street fighting, let alone tanks of this era.

However, this does not seem to be "neglected", because the information they got was that the bazooka relied on the cover of the tank to attack, on the other hand, the pure infantry against the tank in this era can almost be said to be a nightmare, so they took it for granted that the Soviet army would still choose the way of tank cover rocket launcher combat.

The 6th Panzer Division confidently drove to Tver, and on the way they took a moment to convey news and inferences about the enemy's new equipment to the tank crews.

After more than an hour, they finally arrived in Tver, joined up with the 29th Infantry Regiment, and then rushed to attack Tver.

The reason for "impatient" was due to the fact that the German officers had another judgment: if it was always necessary to maintain a distance of more than a hundred meters from the enemy, and at the same time it was street fighting, then it was better to choose to fight the enemy during the day.

Needless to say, it is difficult for the tank to maintain a distance of 100 meters from the enemy at night, and it is good to be able to see the enemy clearly from 50 meters.

On the other hand, it is the tank's poor ability to perceive the outside world, which is not the case with the infantry.

Therefore, the German officers had reason to believe that if they chose to fight at night, German tanks would be a good target for the enemy's "new equipment".

This judgment is also reasonable and correct.

On the other hand, it is because of the short daylight hours...... Tearing it back and forth, half of the seven hours of the day have passed.

That is, if the Germans wanted to defeat the 1st Guards Tank Brigade during the day, they had to attack as soon as possible.

Soviet troops, on the other hand, dispersed near the Tver bridge.

They had already learned from the air reconnaissance planes that the Germans had armored divisions rushing here, so they dispersed their troops, especially rocket launchers, into the buildings.
