The equipment of the American artillery is basically motorized, and the American-made Wanguo truck is used to tow it, and the 105-mm howitzer is not very heavy anyway.

At this time, the artillerymen were sitting in the trucks, their eyes still nervously staring at the sky.

They had been deployed to their positions, but they did not open fire, and now they have withdrawn from their positions without firing a single shot.

It's not that they are cowardly, they just want to protect these cannons and better provide artillery support for their own side, and the HS129 attack planes flying overhead are really terrifying, as long as they fire, they will become the target of those attack planes.

Fortunately, the attack planes only wanted to attack the Soviet positions, especially to kill the soldiers who were hiding in the craters and preparing to ambush, and did not even notice that they had secretly withdrawn.

At this time, their hearts are heavy, everyone knows what will happen at the front, and now, no matter how many reasons they have, they are always deserters.

They abandoned their companions, and they retreated alone.

The battalion's 12 guns, plus other support vehicles, a total of 22 trucks, retreated to the rear, and on the front truck, the driver could already clearly see the bridge over the river in the distance.

At this moment, suddenly, in the sky behind him, there was a sharp engine howling, and suddenly, everyone felt a chill in their backs.

"Get off the road and into the grove!"

On the side of the highway, there was a forest of birch trees, and just after hearing the whistling of the plane, all the drivers were quick and fast, and they hugged the steering wheel hard, and the Wanguo truck drove off the road and was bumpy in an instant.

Hurry, hurry, be sure to enter the woods before the opposing plane finds out!

The frightened artillerymen, looking up at the sky, now, they are also familiar with the various planes of the Germans, flying the terrible HS129, the two engines on the wings on both sides, the iconic 40mm cannon in front of the nose, are so clear, this kind of German attack aircraft, revealing a violent aesthetics.

It is useless to shoot at this kind of aircraft with rough skin and thick flesh, small caliber small arms, on the contrary, once it is discovered by this attack aircraft, it will end very tragically, this kind of attack machine will shoot wildly at the ground, like a harvester, harvesting all life on the ground, and the cannon under the terrible nose can even open the top cover of the tank directly.

If their own convoy is discovered, the opponent only needs to lower the nose of the aircraft and a shuttle of 40-millimeter high-explosive shells will strafe it, and all of them will be destroyed, which is really terrible.

Fortunately, the HS129s that flew in, as if they did not notice them, and as if they were oblivious to them, flew over their heads, and when the plane flew by, everyone saw the huge bomb mounted on the center line of the belly.

"Oh no, they're going to blow up the bridge!" At this moment, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion suddenly reacted that the Germans were too scheming.

Once the Germans blow up the bridge here, the troops still defending in the north of the city will not be able to escape, and they will all be eaten by the Germans, and the Germans fought with this idea!

"Quick, radio, send a message, inform the command that the Germans are going to blow up the bridge!"

When they arrived, they were equipped with Soviet-made radios, the same cryptographic mechanism, direct communication with their superiors, and the telegraph corps was one of the few in the army who could speak Russian.

Just before the telegraph corps set up the radio, the HS129 attack aircraft had already begun to dive towards the bridge.

There was an infantry squad guarding the bridge, and their role was more to prevent deserters, and soldiers who did not have orders could not retreat, and now, when the attack planes in the sky swooped down, everyone held their rifles and shot in vain into the sky.

It didn't work.

When HS129 pulled up again, the bridge below had already emitted billowing black smoke, and the middle part completely collapsed, and the fierce water rushed away all the remaining parts in an instant.

The bridge was blown up!

There were four bridges across the river, and the HS129 attack aircraft systematically blew up the bridges along the river.

As soon as the bridge was broken, the soldiers who were still fighting in front were surrounded, and they had no choice but to die and surrender under the attack of the German tank cluster.

At the same time, the 442nd Infantry Regiment, which had planned to be withdrawn, was unable to complete the scheduled mission objectives because of the bombing of the bridge, and they could not return to the main city, and they would usher in their own destruction.

Headquarters.

When he received the news, Konev's face was extremely ugly in an instant.

Konev was going to blow up the bridge, but definitely not now.

Let the 442nd Infantry Regiment withdraw and deploy along the riverbank, especially their artillery battalion, which can bombard the German troops on the opposite side with artillery fire at any time, so that they cannot cross the river smoothly, thus prolonging their own hold.

And now, before they have withdrawn, the bridge was blown up by the Germans!

In addition to the fact that the troops needed by their own side did not retreat, there was something even more terrible.

Didn't the Germans plan to cross the river? Didn't the Germans plan to take the city of Kalinin? Of course not, if the Germans want to attack Moscow, then they must take Kalinin.

Now that the Germans have blown up the bridge over the river, then there is only one possibility, the Germans must have already moved from the lower reaches of the river!

It was intended to rely on this river as a moat to defend against the Germans, but now, once the Germans pounced on them from the east, they could not defend themselves at all.

The fortifications on the streets were also laid out to the north, and the youth in the city had just been mobilized, and there was no concrete deployment, if the Germans rushed up at once, then Kalinin would definitely not be able to hold it!

As if to confirm his conjecture, at this moment, a terrible shelling sound was heard in the eastern part of the city.

"The Germans, the Germans are coming from the east!" Shocking news was transmitted back to the command in an instant.

There were not enough people in the Kalinin Front.

It is not that Moscow does not attach importance to Kalinin, but because Moscow also has limited manpower, and all those who can be sent out have been sent, and all directions are tight, and the transfer of new forces reinforced by the United States to Kalinin is already the greatest support for Kalinin.

Due to the lack of troops, Konev had to deploy the main forces in the north, engage in a tug-of-war with the Germans, and at the same time call on the citizens of the city to act together to defend the city, but they were concentrated in the north of the city, and the east and south were quite empty.

What have the Germans been waiting for these days? Of course, it's not just about grille armor, it's about troop transfer!
