USSR 1941

What the Soviet army seized from the German army was not only cars and supplies, but also armored vehicles, barrel cars and even a dozen tanks.

Seizing tanks from the Germans is rare.

This is partly because the Germans would always blow up equipment before surrendering.

On the other hand, it is because the German army is on the offensive most of the time... The advantage of attack is that in addition to the advantages mentioned by the Germans' "offensive advantage theory", there is actually an advantage in spoils of war.

The troops on the offensive don't need to worry about their faulty equipment falling into the hands of the enemy, because the troops in front are always advancing and the enemy is always retreating. If the faulty equipment falls behind, it can be slowly repaired in the rear.

The retreating troops were not so lucky, and their fronts were constantly retreating or fleeing.

Well, once the equipment breaks down and needs to be repaired... the first thing you need to calculate is whether you can repair it and escape before the enemy catches up.

Otherwise, don't think twice, blow it up so as not to leave it to the enemy.

A considerable part of the equipment of the Soviet army was blown up under such circumstances.

However, as the so-called "Feng Shui turns", the German army never thought that they would suddenly become the retreating party.

As a result, the German army, who was accustomed to not blowing up faulty equipment and letting them slowly repair it in the rear or even on the side of the road, suffered a disadvantage...

Shulka and his men seized three tanks on the side of the road, two "No. 3" and one "No. 2".

German mechanics and tank crews are chatting while repairing tanks, or discussing tank malfunctions, but that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that they still didn't notice anything abnormal when the car that Shulka and others took drove to them... Maybe they were too focused on repairing tanks, or Shulka and others took German cars and armored vehicles .

This was actually done by Major Gavrilov on purpose, because he believed that if the vanguard troops used all the German equipment, they might receive unexpected results.

It turned out that Major Gavrilov was right.

The car stopped beside the tank, and then the German tank soldiers stared blankly at the Russian soldiers who jumped out of the car... At first, they even thought that these soldiers in Russian uniforms were evacuated prisoners,

It wasn't until they discovered that these "captives" were holding guns in their hands and their eyes were full of murderous intent that they realized that something was wrong.

They wanted to get guns but it was too late, because the muzzles of black holes had been pressed to their heads and they were all disarmed.

The ridiculous thing is that there is a mechanic under the tank. He doesn't know what's going on outside, and he is still complaining about the chassis while repairing the tank.

The thief stepped forward and kicked his exposed foot, and the mechanic cursed. Although the German Shulka couldn't understand, he could vaguely guess that it was: "Don't bother me, it will be fine soon!" Class words.

The Soviet soldiers laughed together, and only then did the mechanic realize that something was wrong, and slowly drilled out of the chassis to take a look... I don't know when the outside was full of Soviet soldiers, and his own people were all under control .

"Continue!" Shulka said to the group of Germans in English: "Until the tank is repaired, if something happens...I can't guarantee what my men will do to you!"

A group of disarmed German mechanics could only continue their work until the tanks were fired.

Then, the Soviet army even drove the German tanks to explore the way ahead.

This is even more unnoticed... All the personnel are hiding in the tank, and it is impossible to find out who is inside from the outside.

As a result, more and more tanks were captured. When the fourth tank brigade arrived in Klin, it already had 18 German tanks, and the Soviet army swaggered into Klin with them.

Kling's German army has received the news and is ready to fight.

After all, Kling is different from other German troops who are marching forward. The German army has a divisional headquarters here, and the SS special operations team has also taken over the security and search of the city.

One telegram and they knew that a Soviet army was attacking Kling.

The German army even sent reconnaissance planes and even an air force to bomb the fourth tank brigade marching on the railway... As the visibility increased, the German air force also became active.

But of course, the weather is not good enough to bomb tanks without hindrance, especially the tanks on the ground have a set of camouflage methods: when they find enemy planes far away, they stop immediately and cover the tanks with canvas... from the sky to It's hard to spot where the tank is when you look down.

However, these are not the point.

The point is that the Soviet army drove German tanks and armored vehicles into the Klin defense line temporarily formed by the German army, and the German army did not mean to stop them at all... They thought these were the retreating troops of the German army.

After all, there is an armored division ahead, and it is normal for a dozen tanks and a dozen armored vehicles to flee back.

The sentries even stood up to salute the tanks after they cleared the barricades.

So the German army was in tragedy.

After tanks and armored vehicles broke into the German defense line, they rushed around at full speed.

Machine guns fired everywhere, knocking down the German soldiers with their backs facing them in the trenches to the ground.

The artillery shells were fired one after another, blowing up the German artillery positions and anti-tank gun positions one by one, and the entire defense line fell into chaos.

Then, when the Soviet T34 tank appeared at the other end of the railway... the German defense line had collapsed.

Shulka did not participate in this battle, he was an infantryman, and it should be the task of a tanker to drive tanks and armored vehicles into enemy positions.

Shulka only saw piles of corpses lying on the German positions, as well as various discarded machine guns, anti-tank guns and howitzers.

These anti-tank guns and howitzers were either blown into parts, or they were knocked upside down or even twisted and deformed by the tanks.

Of course, corpses and blood in various poses are indispensable next to them.

The Germans had a chance to stop the 4th Soviet Tank Brigade.

Because the position they chose is very suitable for a defensive battle... Except for a railway, there are farmland and vegetable fields on both sides. The German army first opened the irrigation canal to make it a swamp, and they even planted anti-tank in it mines.

Then, there is a howitzer battalion on each side of the railway, and the muzzle has been aimed at the railway.

Anti-tank guns may not be able to penetrate the T34, but large-caliber howitzers are not what it can withstand: if a 105MM caliber shell hits the tank directly, it can kill the tank crew even if it cannot penetrate the armor.

The mistake of the German army is that they should not believe too much what they see with their own eyes: the tank is indeed a German tank, but the person driving the tank may not be a German.
