"We have to attack! Be fast! Calyus, who had put down his binoculars, looked at the high ground in the distance and said to the commander of the infantry company under his feet.

"But the troops behind us haven't arrived yet, so it's too dangerous to attack rashly, right?" The commander of the infantry company said with some hesitation.

He only had two Leopard tanks under the command of Karyus, and the heaviest remaining weapons were the mortars belonging to the company.

The reconnaissance team came back with the news that the Soviets had at least 1,000 men there, and that they had artillery and an unknown number of tanks.

Although they only glanced at it from a distance, and the reconnaissance information brought back was not necessarily accurate, no one was willing to risk their lives.

Attacking the enemy with less than 100 men and 1,000 men is definitely a risk. However, Karjus believes that such an adventure is necessary.

"They didn't know we were coming! As long as we take them by surprise, then we can make them not play to the advantage in numbers! As a veteran of the battlefield, Karjus knows what chaos can bring.

As long as his tanks rushed into the village, creating enough chaos, the Soviet soldiers would have been defeated. The rest, just leave it to the machine guns and mortars, and that's fine.

Scattered troops, no matter how many, are not a threat. As long as the mortar hits the chaotic enemy army, and then strafe the enemy who returns fire with machine guns, the Soviets will flee without looking back.

In this battle, the Germans may only lose a few men and achieve the proud result of capturing this village. They would take hundreds of prisoners and break through the defenses of the Soviets that were not ready.

"All right, sir! If you are sure, I can provide the necessary support. Seeing that his opposition would not work, the commander of the infantry company reluctantly gave up.

His position was not as high as that of Karjus, who was one rank above him and was the temporary battlefield commander of this unit.

The German assault forces were often mixed, with tanks and some mechanized grenadiers, so that they could compensate for each other's shortcomings, advance long distances and maintain the speed they should have.

And such a small assault group, in general, the commander is a tank commander, and not an infantry commander.

"I'll take the tanks and assault forward, and the two armored vehicles under your command will follow us......" Karyus pointed straight ahead, intending to use the most direct way to divide the winner.

The other party's village is very well located on a high ground, and if the Soviet army is ready for battle before attacking, it will definitely pay a heavy price.

The good news is that the other party is eating, which is important news brought back by the reconnaissance force. It was because of this news that Karjus decided to launch an immediate assault.

"Start the tank! Let's not lose time! Defeat them! Let the queen rest in the village! Karyus patted the steel plate on the tank and motioned for his driver to start the tank.

The driver, Erich, immediately started his tank, and a puff of black smoke erupted from the exhaust pipe behind the tank, and the Leopard began to move slowly.

Behind Karjus was another Leopard. The two tanks maintained their forward speed one after the other, followed by armored vehicles loaded with infantry.

Their aim was simple, to get as fast as possible to get close to the highland village, and then open fire to catch their opponents off guard.

"William! Install armor-piercing shells! There are enemy tanks in the village! The brethren of the Scouting Company have seen it! Caljus leaned against the bumpy tank hatch and shouted over the radio to his loader.

Without hesitation, William pulled out an armor-piercing shell from the bumpy tank and stuffed it into the chamber.

It's his most skilled job, and it's the best job he's ever done. He didn't have to look around the tank, he didn't have to do anything else, he just had to push the right shells into the gun, and he was done.

Gun Commander Tyre was not idle, he was looking through the scope, proofreading the target village in the distance. In a moment he was going to open fire over there, so he had to observe the terrain in advance.

Joseph, the mechanical, was idle, because he didn't have a heading machine gun, and now he could only sit honestly in his place, staring at the radio instrument panel.

He had adjusted the radio more than an hour earlier, so now he could only sit idle, as if the battle in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Two Leopard tanks were constantly advancing, and it turned out that not all Soviet units learned how to fight.

The experienced units of the Soviet army were either already in Moscow or had already been withdrawn. Now deployed here are some newly established troops.

So these troops had not been educated by the Germans, nor had they sent scouts to the battlefield, and they did not even think that the Germans were so close to them.

The blame is only for the rapid defeat of Rokossovsky's troops, and there was even chaos in some local areas, which caused many troops to not know that the Germans had already killed.

Therefore, when the two Leopard tanks rushed over the slope and crashed into the fence, the Soviet troops in the village realized the fact that they were in danger.

"The Germans! It's the Germans! A Soviet officer in command of the units shouted loudly, and instead of putting his troops into combat mode, such shouts made them more confused.

"What? German? Help me! "The Germans! Germans! Some of the recruits were directly frightened, they either shouted for help and fled, or shouted indiscriminately with their weapons, and they did not complete half of the preparations for the battle.

Sometimes it's so cruel that these recruits, who should have entered Moscow and then been assigned to the old units as personnel replenishment, ran into their enemies unprepared.

And the first time they saw the enemy, it was the most vicious German tank troops, and the grenadiers who followed the tanks.

"Hell!" Inside the bumpy tank, Karyus grumbled gloomily. He saw the "tanks" in the village, the so-called "tanks" that the reconnaissance troops were talking about.

It was just some agricultural tractors with artillery, and some horse-drawn carriages covered with canvas. These Soviets didn't have tanks at all, and Karyus's tank gun had an armor-piercing shell in it!

As for why the reconnaissance troops were wrong, it was because these Soviet troops were cooking on fires, making black smoke in the sky, much like the exhaust of a large number of tank troops on the move.
