How heavy is this rain? To put it simply, there was a lot of water on the river channel where the ice had not yet melted, and this seriously hindered the German army's operations on the ice. The slippery degree of wet ice is not comparable to muddy water, as long as it is slightly unstable, it will fall directly. In addition, it hurts a lot more when you fall than if you fall on soft soil, and it is quite difficult to get back up again. In the end, after a few attempts, the Germans gave up on continuing the attack on the ice, and only sent a small number of troops to continue to try to defuse the explosives, which also reduced the pressure on the Soviet troops guarding the explosives.

But even so, due to the previous lesson, even if the German side took the initiative to reduce its troops, the Soviet side did not dare to relax, not to mention the infantry, even the configuration of two tanks on the side responsible for monitoring and defense did not decrease at all. Although it was suggested that the ice under the explosives should be blown up to prevent the Germans from dismantling the explosives, it was not implemented due to the risk of detonating the explosives.

And it is also for this reason that the two tanks on the side can only carry out covered machine gun fire on those German soldiers hiding under the bridgehead, and do not dare to use the main guns to bombard, although this does have a certain hindering effect on the German army's action, but the damage it can cause is extremely limited. 【】

On the other hand, the troops fighting at both ends of the bridge were not so particular about it, and directly and rudely used artillery to bombard the enemy. And after the Germans pressed up, for Bella, the 217 squad, there was another piece of good news that could not be regarded as good news. That is, in order to protect the bridge itself, her KV-2 can no longer strike at targets located on or very close to the bridge deck, and apart from these two, she has no German armored forces in her field of vision. So, now Bella's KV-2 has completely turned into a large machine gun tower, and the impressive main gun is no longer used. As for the good news, Bella doesn't have to worry about saving ammo anymore.

Although BΓ©la was able to take a break, the other crews were not, and they had to continue to suppress the Germans. Although it was better to put the Germans on the bridge than to let them hide behind, this risky and rewarding method of warfare was not adopted just in case.

Although in the last large-scale defensive operation, Natalia's KV-1 heavy tank played a considerable advantage - its armor could withstand and even immune to all kinds of German artillery, so the results were also quite gratifying, which directly led to Andrei later adding a KV-1 to his squad.

However, in this battle, the disadvantages of Natalia's KV-1 were also revealed. First of all, armor is on the one hand, in the last battle in Kyiv, Natalia and they encountered a second-rate unit of the German army, the level of equipment was not high, and it was naturally okay to meet the KV-1, which was still half of the advanced goods at that time. But this time, the troops they encountered by Natalia had completely become the quasi-first-class troops of the German army, and they were naturally much ahead of the second-rate troops in terms of equipment level.

Although the two KV-1s were forbidden to withstand the heavy bombardment of German anti-tank artillery fire before, it was also due to the fact that the distance between the two sides was still a little far, and if it was replaced by the distance in the city of Kiev last time, the consequences would not necessarily be the same. Moreover, Natalia, who was sitting in the tank, could also feel that the shaking of the tank during this battle was obviously more violent than before. Although the armor-piercing ability of these shells is still a little short of piercing their armor, it is difficult to say whether such a violent shaking will have an effect on the mechanics inside the tank, but at least Natalia has not found any problems yet.

And after talking about the armor that the KV-1 is most proud of, it is necessary to talk about the biggest disadvantage that Natalia found in this battle - the main gun. We also mentioned this point before, and Andrei thought about this question when he replaced the KV-1 - is the power of the main gun still up to the current mainstream needs? At that time, Andrei and Anton came up with an answer that was barely enough.

In fact, this 'reluctance' is really not wrong at all, because Natalia was too reluctant to strike at the German tanks in this battle. The L-11 main gun equipped with the KV-1 piloted by Natalia is not to mention in Andrei's 217 squad, but in the first-class armored units similar to them, in fact, it can already be ranked at the bottom. In order to solve this problem, the Soviet army has replaced some of the original 76mm L-11 tank guns of the KV-1 with the more powerful 76mm ZIS-3 tank guns, and the subsequent KV-1 also uniformly uses the ZIS-3 as the main gun of the tank, which largely solves the shortcomings of the lack of firepower of the KV-1.

But what kind of unit is Andrey's 217 squad? To put it bluntly, they can say that they don't have any time to rest except for the strategic shift. Waiting for a tank to be reloaded? They don't have that kind of time! However, the problems it brought with it were undoubtedly revealed in this battle, and Natalia became the only victim of this shortcoming.

Although when the Germans advanced, Natalia could still pick up some of the No. 3 tanks in the advancing team to pinch the soft persimmons, but after the Germans pressed to the bridgehead, all the firepower with them became No. 4 tanks, many of which were still mid-to-late No. 4 with reinforced armor, so that the L-11 could be said to have almost become a brick thrower, except for making a little noise on the surface of these No. 4s and scraping off a little paint, it had no lethal power on the tank itself. It's only a month, and it is estimated that Natalia will not think that what happened to the German army at the beginning would fall on her head in turn, except for smiling bitterly and sighing that feng shui takes turns, Natalia can't do anything.

Although the belligerent troops on both sides had begun to enter a period of fatigue, the intensity of the fighting did not weaken in the slightest, and the heavy rain in the sky did not weaken either. And so the rain fell, and after more than an hour, before the two warring sides could distinguish between the superior and the inferior, they heard a sound that seemed to be the heavens and the earth cracking......
