The Germans suffered heavy losses in this battle. Only two of the seven "Assault Gun III" escaped, and another eight tanks escaped with injuries... They were all blasted to varying degrees, but because they did not hit the vital points
So I got away with it.
Major Mueller abandoned his command vehicle and fled back at the first opportunity.
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 target and burden of the enemy... The enemy's and our soldiers can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the smoke, and they may even be blocked by their own people.
retreat.
Just like those tanks that escaped, their tracks were covered with rags and meat paste, and no one knew how many soldiers they had run over before escaping.
At least Major Muller had his men throw a grenade into the tank compartment in an orderly manner to blow it up before escaping. Some German tank crews were in panic and did not even have time to do so.
As a result, the Soviet army even captured two tanks and drove them back... The members of the 333rd Regiment were very complex. They were mixed together from the personnel left behind in the Brest Fortress, including artillery, medical
Soldiers, and of course tank troops, but most of these tank troops are tank troops without tanks. Before the war, their tanks are repaired in the fortress. Once repaired, they will be driven out to join the main force for summer training.
Of course, after the German army launched the attack, they had no chance to drive tanks into the battle.
Unexpectedly, they found an opportunity at this time... Tank soldiers have always been sensitive to tanks that can be driven, and they will find those tanks that are likely to be driven as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, this is actually not difficult. There was no smoke or fire, and there were a few corpses of enemy tank soldiers hanging nearby, so it was very likely that they were tanks that could be driven.
The reason is simple. Having the corpses of enemy tank soldiers hanging next to them means that they were killed as soon as they crawled out, which means that they have no time to blow up their own tanks.
So soon, the two tanks started "rumbling" and drove towards the Soviet bunker.
To be precise, there should be three. However, the Soviet soldiers were inexperienced. When they discovered that there were tanks moving in the chaos, they took it for granted that they were enemy tanks, and then got on board with grenades in hand. One was captured.
The captured tanks were destroyed in their own hands.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the track was broken, which only made the Soviet tank soldiers angry. They wanted to curse when they came out, but the next second they were frightened back by a hail of bullets...
The Soviet soldiers thought that the people coming out were also Germans. They held submachine guns outside and waited for the people inside to show up.
"You bastards!" the tank soldiers shouted inside: "They are our own! The tanks we captured, our tanks... look at the good things you did!"
Only then did the Soviet soldiers realize that there had been a misunderstanding.
But the Soviets usually don't admit their mistakes at this time. The infantrymen who bombed the tanks retorted aggressively: "Are you desperate for your life? Drive the German tanks towards our defense line..."
"How did I know you would mistake it for a German tank?!"
"You should stand someone up there, like this..."
As he spoke, an infantryman jumped onto the tank and waved to the Soviet soldiers nearby and in front.
This method worked as expected, and the next two tanks were able to successfully drive into the Soviet defense line and 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 an order to the excited soldiers who were scrambling to climb onto the tank to feel the atmosphere of victory: "Are you crazy? All get down from there..."
Major Gavrilov is right. The most important thing at this time is to provide cover and camouflage for these two tanks, otherwise they will be blown up by German artillery fire and aircraft before long.
Major Gavrilov then directed two tanks to the rear of the bunker and covered them with canvas.
Major Gavrilov is indeed 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 even integrate it with the bunker.
I still spread a layer of soil before going forward... Actually, 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 aircraft in the sky to detect it.
Sure enough, not long after this was done, rows of artillery fire came from the direction of the German army. At the same time, several fighter planes and bombers appeared in the sky, bombarding the wreckage of tanks on the battlefield... The German army did not allow their tanks to be captured by the enemy.
, this is not only a problem of equipment, but also military secrets, such as the "No. 3 assault gun" that was recently developed.
The news soon reached Colonel Ovech's headquarters.
The staff officers were stunned after hearing Major Gavrilov's report.
"What happened, Comrade Ftoriak?" Colonel Ovich asked, noticing that the staff officer's expression was abnormal.
The staff officer held down the microphone, looked around and replied: "It's Major Gavrilov, comrade colonel!"
"Ask for help?" Colonel Ovech asked.
Colonel Ovitch quite thought that the few hundred men of the 333rd Regiment would not be able to withstand the German attack this time, so he reported to the division headquarters.
This is what Colonel Ovich hopes to see, because if the war situation develops in this direction, then everything will fall into place, and even Colonel Ovich's previous rejection of Major Gavrilov's suggestion would be reasonable.
but……
"No, comrade colonel!" the staff officer reported: "They defeated the German attack again!"
"Again, how is it possible?" Colonel Ovech said with disbelief on his face.
"That's true, Comrade Colonel!" the staff officer replied: "They even captured two tanks!"
Colonel Ovitch couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and took the phone. Then he said into the phone: "I'm Ovitch, Major. How is the situation?"
"We repelled their attack, Comrade Colonel!" Major Gavrilov reported: "The position is firmly in our hands. Instead of taking a step forward, the Germans lost more than twenty tanks again. However,
Our people are also decreasing, we are short of troops, and the number of wounded is increasing! In addition, we need artillery support!"
Colonel Ovich 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 you with reinforcements."
Yes! Hold your position and don’t let the enemy take a step forward!"
"Yes, Comrade Colonel!"
