The German army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Only two of the seven "No. 3 assault guns" escaped, and another 8 tanks escaped with injuries... They were all blasted in varying degrees, but because they did not hit the vital point, Get away with it.
Major Muller abandoned his command vehicle immediately and fled back.
This approach is very smart, because in this case the tank will not only fail to become a war machine, but will also become the enemy's target and burden... Soldiers fighting in the smoke can't tell the difference between the enemy and us, and they will even be blocked by our own people. .
Just like those tanks that fled back, the tracks were covered with rags and meat paste, and no one knew how many soldiers they ran over before they escaped.
Major Müller at least ordered his men to throw a grenade into the tank compartment to blow it up before escaping. Some German tank crews didn't even have time to do so in a panic.
As a result, the Soviet army even captured two tanks and drove them back... The members of the 333rd regiment are very complicated. They are composed of left-behind personnel from the Brest Fortress, including artillery and medical soldiers. , of course there are tank soldiers, but most of these tank soldiers are tank soldiers without tanks. Before the war, their tanks are repaired in the fortress. Once they are repaired, they will go out to join the main force for summer training.
Of course, they never had a chance to drive tanks into battle after the German attack.
Unexpectedly, they found an opportunity at this time... Tank soldiers have always been sensitive to the tanks that can be driven, and they will find those tanks that are likely to be activated at the first time.
It’s actually not difficult to say, if there is no smoke, no fire, and there are a few corpses of enemy tank soldiers hanging next to it, it is very likely that it is a tank that can start.
The reason is simple, having enemy tank corpses hanging around means they were shot dead the moment they climbed out, which means they didn't have time to blow up their tanks.
Soon, the two tanks started "rumbling" and drove towards the Soviet bunker.
To be exact, it should be three, but the Soviet soldiers had no experience. When they found out that there were still tanks moving in the chaos, they took it for granted that they were enemy tanks, and then boarded them with grenades. The captured tanks were thus destroyed in their own hands.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the tracks were blown off, and the Soviet tank soldiers were just **** off. They wanted to yell at them when they came out, but they were scared back by the bullets in the next second... Su The army soldiers thought that the ones who came out were also Germans, and they were holding submachine guns outside and waiting for the people inside to show their heads.
"You bastards!" The tank soldier shouted inside: "It's our own! Our captured tanks, our tanks... look at what you have done!"
The Soviet soldiers realized that a misunderstanding had occurred.
But the Soviets usually would not admit their mistakes at this time. Instead, the infantrymen who bombed the tanks retorted aggressively: "Are you dying? Drive the German tanks towards our defense line..."
"How do I know you guys think it's a German tank?!"
"You guys should stand a guy over there, like this..."
Said that an infantryman jumped onto the tank and waved to the Soviet soldiers nearby and in front.
This method was indeed feasible, and the next two tanks were able to drive into the Soviet defense line smoothly to receive cheers from the soldiers. Shulka was surprised to find that one of the two tanks was a "No. 3 Assault Gun"!
Major Gavrilov shouted orders to the soldiers who were excitedly scrambling to climb onto the tank to feel the victorious atmosphere: "Are you crazy? Come down from there..."
Major Gavrilov is right, the most important thing at this time is to cover and camouflage these two tanks, otherwise they will be blown up by German artillery fire and aircraft in a short time.
Major Gavrilov then commanded two tanks to drive to the rear of the bunker, and then covered them with canvas.
Major Gavrilov is worthy of being an officer with battlefield experience. This approach is very appropriate: the rear of the bunker is the blind spot of the enemy's artillery, which can avoid the enemy's artillery. Cover it with canvas and integrate it with the bunker, and even spread a layer of soil... In fact, there is basically no need to spread soil, because the canvas has long been covered with a thick layer of dust from the smoke and dust of the battlefield.
In this way, it will be difficult for the planes in the sky to find it.
Sure enough, not long after this was done, rows of artillery came from the direction of the German army. At the same time, several fighter planes and bombers appeared in the sky and bombarded the wreckage of the tanks on the battlefield... The German army did not allow their tanks to be captured by the enemy. This is not only a question of equipment, but also military secrets, such as the newly developed "No. 3 Assault Gun".
The news quickly reached Colonel Ovich's headquarters.
The staff officer couldn't help being stunned after hearing Major Gavrilov's report.
"What happened, Comrade Fortoriak?" Colonel Ovic asked after noticing that the staff officer had a strange expression.
The staff officer held down the microphone, looked around and replied, "It's Major Gavrilov, Comrade Colonel!"
"Help?" Colonel Ovich asked.
Colonel Ovich pretty much thought that the hundreds of people in the 333rd Regiment would definitely not be able to withstand the German attack this time, so he rushed to the division headquarters.
This is what Colonel Ovich wants to see, because if the war situation develops in this direction, then everything will be logical, and even Colonel Ovich’s rejection of Major Gavrilov’s suggestion before is reasonable.
but…
"No, Comrade Colonel!" The staff officer reported: "Once again they defeated the German attack!"
"Again, how is it possible?" Colonel Ovich was full of disbelief.
"It is true, Comrade Colonel!" The staff officer replied: "They even captured two tanks!"
Colonel Ovich couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward to answer the phone, and then said to the microphone: "I am Ovich, Major, how is the situation?"
"We repelled their attack, Comrade Colonel!" Major Gavrilov reported: "The position is firmly in our hands, and the Germans not only did not move forward, but lost more than 20 tanks again. But Our numbers are also decreasing, we are short of troops, and the wounded are increasing! Besides, we need artillery support!"
Colonel Orvich was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "You fought well, Major! But you know, the Germans attacked our entire defense line at the same time, and the artillery support was very tight, but I will try my best to provide reinforcements for you Yes! Hold your ground and don't let the enemy advance!"
"Yes, Comrade Colonel!"
After putting down the phone, Colonel Ovich was in a daze. He couldn't figure out how such a strange thing happened.
