USSR 1941

Chapter 298 Coincidence

The battle was over in ten minutes.

This small battle once again proved that "soldiers are better than many"... But it seems wrong, Shulka believes that the greater effect of this battle should be to catch the enemy by surprise:

This group of German troops chased and killed the fleeing Soviet troops in the rear, and their vigilance was very low. In addition, when the Soviet troops started fighting, they had good tactics and coordination. When they came up, they were stunned by overwhelming firepower, and then they charged again... This is almost before the opponent has reacted, the bayonet has been pierced into their chest, so the rapid collapse of the German army is also reasonable.

However, the Soviet army did not charge too hard. After all, its purpose was not to counterattack, nor to kill the enemy... The German army has much more troops than the Soviet army in this area. The follow-up is casually a battalion or even a regiment. The 333rd regiment The two severely understaffed companies are simply not enough for them to squeeze their teeth.

So with an order, the Soviet army, which had chased for a distance, withdrew to the shore.

The German army came up again and entered a stalemate with the Soviet army.

It is easy to fall into a stalemate in actual combat, which is mainly caused by the development of equipment.

Before the invention of the machine gun, there were not many such situations. Usually, there were too many people and a group charged to solve the problem.

After the invention of the machine gun, it was just a row of bullets. The group charge with many people was ineffective.

There were many such stalemates in World War II, but the coordination of tanks, aircraft, and artillery can be used to break this stalemate.

The defense of the first battalion at this time is actually telling the German army... It is time to send tanks up.

However, as soon as the tank came up, it almost scared Shulka and others into a fool.

There was the sound of "rumbling" motors in the dark, and occasionally the "clack" sound of tanks pushing down trees.

Shulka had someone fire a flare, and saw German tanks and armored vehicles everywhere in the snow, densely packed row after row, and the black "cross" pressed up like a dark cloud.

Perhaps it was because it was dark and the road could not be seen clearly, and there were German soldiers in front of them commanding with signal lights, so they did not move fast.

Before Shulka could take a closer look, there was the whistling sound of artillery shells in the air, and the German army launched a charge on the defense line of the first battalion. A dozen or so tanks led by the infantry headed straight towards this direction under the cover of infantry.

"Retreat!" Captain Venyakov shouted over the explosion of shells.

The soldiers hurriedly put away their weapons and retreated. Of course, they did not forget to lay mines behind them before they ran... This is the basic common sense of retreat, and two companies must cover each other to retreat, otherwise there is no way to run Survive enemy bullets from behind.

Shulka was in a bit of a panic during the retreat. He fell down several times on the way. If his comrades hadn't helped Shulka up in time, he, the "breakout hero", might have been captured by the enemy in this small battle.

But in the end Shulka ran back to the trench without any risk, and then sat down in the trench panting.

"What's the matter, Comrade Shulka?" the instructor asked, "You seem to have been frightened just now!"

"Yes!" Shulka replied breathlessly.

"Comrade company commander is too excited!" The veteran continued, "I thought so many tanks would be blown into the lake soon!"

The surrounding soldiers laughed in unison.

Shulka didn't bother to explain. He was really flustered just now. Running on the snow was a little different. It had to hop like a rabbit. Usually Shulka didn't find it difficult, but It won't work if you run fast.

And the other Soviet troops... they have long been used to all this.

But being a hero is good, and the fighters will spontaneously understand it in other directions.

The Germans were not in a hurry to chase, they followed the tanks and slowly advanced.

Then, a few tanks drove up to the lake, and then a few more... soon came up one after another.

At this time, Shulka's hanging heart was completely relieved, and the German army did not have any doubts.

The German army has no reason to doubt, not only because it was dark at this time and the Soviet army’s camouflage was in place, but also because even the German army could not believe that there was such a coincidence in the world... They chose the direction of night attack and large-scale breakthrough Exactly where the enemy laid traps.

Rokossovsky was a little excited. He called the battalion headquarters and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Everything is normal!" Lieutenant Venyakov replied: "The enemy was fooled, in fact...the enemy broke in by themselves, much more than we imagined!"

"Yes!" Rokossovsky replied: "A motorized division and an infantry division's armored main force, the enemy armored division is also moving in your direction, block them, reinforcements will be here soon!"

This is the tactic of the German army. Once a breakthrough is successfully opened somewhere, the main force of its troops will pour in from this breakthrough like a flood that bursts a bank, and then use the high mobility of the armored troops to quickly penetrate behind the enemy's troops and knock them out. Split surround.

"Yes, Comrade General!" Captain Venyakov replied.

The battle started in the next second. The German army discovered the position of the Soviet defense line, and then bombed the defense line with artillery.

However, the German army did not take the Soviet line of defense seriously.

Major General Felix, commander of the German 14th Motorized Rifle Division, was in command of this unit. At this time, he was confidently reporting to Holt on the phone: "Yes, General, we have broken through the enemy's line of defense. Although the follow-up There is another line of defense, but it is not worth mentioning...it is not complete, it is a simple line of defense built of snow, and there are very few troops!"

Huot was a little worried, and confessed: "There is a lake in front of you, pay attention to your tanks!"

"Yes, General!" Major General Felix replied, "I think we'll reach the lake by breaking through this line of defense!"

This shows that the Germans have not scouted the terrain.

In fact, they have always attached great importance to intelligence because they pay attention to mobility. At this time, there is a lake in front of them clearly marked on their map, but they were deceived by the disguise of the Soviet army... Just like Shulka said Yes, there can be no stones on the surface of the lake, and certainly no trees, shrubs, and a hut.

Therefore, they took it for granted that they had not yet reached their destination, and that the lake should be farther away, that is, behind the Soviet line of defense.

That's what Major General Felix thought, so he yelled into his walkie-talkie: "Forward! Get their lines under the tracks!"

"This time!" Major General Felix said to his adjutant looking at the "rumbling" tanks moving forward, "Even the Fourth Tank Brigade can't save them!"
