Back at the camp, the puppet commander shouted: "Brothers, get ready, we are going to continue the attack." ”

The soldiers who were resting in place were suddenly panicked, and those who had withdrawn from the front line explained to their comrades the tragedy on the front line, because they had just escaped from the death line, and their words were somewhat bizarre. In particular, the enemy's marksmanship is too accurate, and it is almost inevitable that he will be hit if he exposes his body, and survival is not a fluke, it is the enemy's mercy.

The regiment commander didn't want to send him to death, but fortunately, this time a group of Germans who were not afraid of death were the vanguard.

He continued: "Brothers, I know you are all very afraid, but if we don't go to war, the Germans will punish us afterwards!" This time, the Germans will send out tanks, and we will follow the Germans, no matter what, it will be the Germans who will die, we will just follow, and in case of accidents, we will immediately retreat! ”

This statement finally calmed down the worried puppet soldiers, and they began to organize their equipment, eat some dry food, and wait for new orders to attack.

On the German side, the regiment commander Gertzal was also doing pre-war mobilization.

He summoned the platoon commanders of the whole regiment to his side and gave them an impassioned instruction to these grassroots officers. What German men are brave enough to forge ahead, and what are carrying on the fine traditions of the Teutonic Knights, he is deliberately imitating Hitler, and trying to stimulate these warriors to move forward with spiritual inspiration.

Of course, the main force of the attack was a total of fifteen tanks, led by tank No. 4.

It was quite rare for the Germans to send tanks to assist the infantry in the attack. They were armed not with the No. 3 assault gun, but with real tanks, especially a No. 4 tank with a 75 mm long-barreled tank gun, which became the mainstay of this assault.

It was the first time that Quetzal's troops had fought in tandem with tanks, and he also had a certain misunderstanding of the Blitzle, which the Germans were proud of, believing that hitting the tanks and advancing was blitzkrieg.

He estimated that this battle seemed to be able to open the gap with tanks alone, but the enemy's strength was unknown, and it was better to surprise the whole army in this battle, and use infantry to cooperate with tanks to break through to the city of Loyev in one fell swoop.

Once the commanders of the tanks were also involved in the pre-war military meeting, Quetzal began to deploy detailed tactics.

As for how to get the infantry and tanks to work together, Quetzal was at a loss for what to do.

"I was afraid that the enemy was hiding a certain amount of fire, and when the tanks broke through, a platoon of infantry had to be hidden behind each tank. You tankmen are firing and pushing forward, not too fast. The infantry had to keep up with the tanks to dodge the bullets. When you reach within a hundred meters of the enemy's position, the infantry advances with all your troops......"

Quetzal said a bunch of things.

"Gentlemen, do you all understand?"

"Understood."

"Then hurry up and prepare, let's set off at one o'clock!"

Just like the No. 4 and No. 3 tanks on the front line, these tanks repaired in the rear are also welded with a fence net. It can effectively stop the bombardment of Soviet RPGs, as for large-caliber anti-tank guns, there is no solution.

Of these, there were only five tanks welded with fences, and the remaining ten were all captured T26s.

The T26's inferior armor and armament capabilities have fallen far behind the times, and if it appeared on the battlefield of World War I, it would inevitably have unparalleled combat power, and now, the prototypes of the Tiger tank have come out! At the very least, the T26 is immune to normal bullets, and it's large enough for a platoon of German soldiers to line up in a long serpent formation behind it.

The time for the attack was set for one o'clock in the afternoon, and in the last hours before the war, the Soviet and German armies were not only preparing for battle, but also eating in a hurry.

In terms of preparation, the Soviets did the best. Fearing that anything could happen on the battlefield, Balzen prepared another big gift for the German army.

The front-line trenches were equipped with ten rocket firing positions, and the Catfish rockets, which were equivalent to two 152-mm heavy artillery shells, had been stuffed into the launch tubes. The launch tube is mounted on a tripod and the soldier manipulates the trigger to ignite the collision. For the accuracy of shooting, the launch tube is also extravagantly equipped with a scope that has been removed from the sniper rifle!

Such a launch position simply travels through time and space, and if the launched bomb is actively guided, it is really very similar to the Dow anti-tank missile launch system.

However, Quetzal was so confident in the enemy he was about to face, that it was the tanks that gave him such confidence that the horror of being hit by enemy rockets was gone. His mind was full of meritorious deeds, completely ignoring the danger.

Seeing that the time is about to reach one o'clock in the afternoon, the battle is about to begin.

Except for a small number of baggage soldiers who watched trucks, mules, horses, and various supplies in the rear, the combat units all went to the front.

There was nothing more to say about Quetzal, and he had a reason to participate in this battle himself. He took off the military hat on his head, put on the steel helmet of ordinary soldiers, and gave the order to march.

Fifteen tanks were launched at the same time, and the huge roar was absorbed by the forest, which was not felt by the Soviet troops five kilometers away, but was clearly seen by several paratrooper brigade scouts lying on their stomachs in the reeds and mud.

Tepunov was well aware of his duty, and he was really eager to fight, but the military order dictated it, and he and the officers and men of the brigade were currently acting as observers.

Shocked by the scout's report, Tepunov immediately contacted Balzen on the other side of the river and nervously shouted into the walkie-talkie: "My old friend, the enemy is attacking!" The enemy has sent tanks, please be prepared for anti-tank! ”

Balzen was not surprised, and he confidently said: "Our anti-tank weapons are ready to open fire, as long as the enemy dares to come." ”

"I guess it's a surprise report to the command! If you can't resist the tank attack, we'll take the initiative. ”

"No need, we can repel any enemy attack."

Balzen's stubbornness was a great opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions, and if he led his troops to repel the enemy's tank attack alone, the commander would have rewarded him. He had great faith, and after the end of the correspondence, he instructed the heralds to spread his latest orders to every trench and foxhole.

The Soviet soldiers at the grassroots level received the news of the appearance of the enemy's tanks, and everyone was excited and nervous. The veterans in the unit still remember the battle half a year ago, when the enemy also dispatched a lot of tanks, and the enemy was completely annihilated after all, and the battle scene was thrilling.

Everyone consciously quieted down and watched the front intently, especially the recoilless gun group, they will become the backbone of the medium and long-range anti-tank, they are waiting for the tank to appear to refresh their record!

The nervous anticipation of everyone did not pass away much time, and some veterans wittily put their ears to the soil, feeling the shaking of the earth.

"The enemy is getting closer, brothers are ready to fight!" A veteran platoon commander called on his men, who, judging by experience, had the enemy close at hand.

As the veteran had speculated, the officers with binoculars in hand finally arrived and came out of the woods one by one.

It's not just the huge moving mass, but there are also some dangling figures around it.

A few telescopes with ranging scales show that the enemy's precise distance is about 1,900 meters, and the enemy is already within the range of recoilless artillery fire.

Balzen, of course, could have given the order to open fire now.

He didn't do this, but watched nervously at the vast formation of the invading enemy, and at the same time ordered the front-line soldiers to stay calm, and after the flare was fired, the recoilless cannon would start the blocking battle!
