Paul immediately conveyed the order that a regiment of infantry would immediately take over the position and quickly strengthen the fortifications, while tanks and armored vehicles would not participate in the defense of the position.

He concentrated the tanks in his hand and organized an armored reinforced battalion, which was deployed in the mountains on the left side of the position, ready to ambush the flanks of the invading Soviet troops, and the other tanks were deployed in small units in the depth of the defensive position, used as artillery, while waiting for the opportunity to attack and lead the infantry to launch a countercharge.

The Imperial Division was stationed at night, because it was the safest way to change the guard smoothly.

By the time the sky began to lighten, the fortifications of many positions had not been sufficiently strengthened. But the scouts had already sent a report to Paul's front command that a Soviet tank regiment was moving in the eastern direction of the defensive position.

The commander of the Führer Regiment of the Imperial Division immediately asked for orders to lead the newly built armored reinforced battalion to attack.

But after thinking about it, Paul asked him to continue to lead the Führer's regiment to ambush and wait for orders, and let the infantry on the front line use the workers to conduct a round of anti-tank combat in advance.

Although there was no chance to bring concrete to build anti-tank cones, Paul had people makeshift some clay and cement on the outside to make some fake "anti-tank cones".

Although these fake anti-tank fortifications have no practical effect, they can be used as a trick to confuse the Soviet army and play a tactical deception role.

Soon, the ground beneath the feet of some of the soldiers began to tremble slightly. In the distance, dust can already be seen in the sky, and the roar of the Soviet tank phalanx has been faintly heard.

The infantry of the Germanic regiment had mobilized anti-tank guns and iron fist rocket launchers, ready to stop the Soviet tank phalanx.

With those obscure "pseudo-anti-tank fortifications", they will have more time to aim at Soviet tanks. Even if the fake fortifications confuse the Soviet tankmen for only one more second, it is a precious second that may determine the outcome of the battle.

The main anti-tank weapon of the Reich division was the 37-mm PAK35 anti-tank gun, which could fire shells and super-caliber grenades, but the low rate of fire and the range were not far, making it difficult to pose a threat to the KV heavy tanks of the Soviet army.

Therefore, leaving some tricks that consume the time of Soviet tanks at close range is a very important bonus for the 37mm anti-tank gun.

Of course, the Imperial Division was also equipped with a small number of 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, and it has long been proven feasible to use anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns for flat-fire anti-tank, with high muzzle velocity, large caliber, and stronger armor-piercing ability of shells, which can completely penetrate the KV heavy tanks of the Soviet army at a distance of 1000 meters.

As the Soviet tank group approached, the vanguard vehicles had already opened fire on the German hillside fortifications.

The explosion of the shells kicked up the earth and buried many German soldiers in the trenches. But fortunately, there were some fake anti-tank fortifications, which attracted most of the shelling of Soviet tanks, and effectively reduced infantry casualties.

Because the Soviet army mainly focused its artillery fire on the "pseudo-anti-tank fortifications" that were bombarded, the shells that fell on the heads of the infantry of the Germanic regiment were almost less than 30%.

However, the infantrymen, of course, were not satisfied with such an outcome, after all, they were still suffering from shells.

"Damn artillerymen, why don't you open fire? Are we here waiting to be run to death?" One of the front-line infantrymen complained loudly.

"There is no way, the range of the 37-mm anti-tank gun is not far, and the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun is too few to be easily exposed." His platoon commander explained on the side: "When the Soviets' tanks get closer, the artillery should do it." ”

In the rear, the artillery company commander Predic was hiding a dozen of his 37-mm PAK35 guns on the side of the main position. He knew that at this time, he must not fire in a hurry, his artillery range is too close, and if he fires it now, it will not be able to hit the armor of the Soviet tanks at all, and it will only expose the position of the position of the side and attract the shells of the Soviet tanks to counterattack.

He had to endure and endure until he could.

"What now?" One of the artillerymen asked Predic: "It depends on the situation, those fake anti-tank fortifications that we have built have not been able to blind the Soviets for a long time." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard an angry roar from the front line.

"Shoot, for the Führer!"

"Stop them and fight the infantry behind the tank!"

More and more infantry roared, pulling the trigger in their hands.

However, the damage of the bullet to the tank was too low. Although they also had squads in their hands, they were assigned Iron Fist anti-tank bazookas. However, if the Soviet tanks did not come closer, the Iron Fist Bazooka would not have hit at all.

The artilleryman who had just asked the question lowered his head and gritted his teeth. The other artillerymen couldn't bear to turn their heads away.

"1000 meters!" The rangefinder began to report the ruler.

An artillery second lieutenant stepped forward and asked with a face distorted by pain: "Company commander, can you fire at this distance?" ”

"The time has not yet come," Predic bowed his head slightly, and then raised: "At this distance, even if we fire, our hit rate is very low, and the rate of fire of the 37mm anti-tank gun is too low, and the effect of our first round of fire is very important." ”

"800 meters!" The rangefinder is constantly reporting new rulers.

"But as long as we open fire, the soldiers fighting on the front line can have more hope, and they can be much more relaxed psychologically!" The platoon commander continued to try to persuade: "It's already 800 meters!" And our fake anti-tank fortifications are clearly exposed, and the Soviet shells almost all hit the heads of the infantry! ”

"No, psychological comfort is not enough, we need the most practical effect!" Predic gritted his teeth and continued to shake his head.
