The battle has reached a white heat from the beginning.

The German soldiers immediately fired the weapons in their hands and spit out flames at the Soviet army to knock the attacking Soviet army to the ground, but the Soviet army still rushed forward in piles, rushing forward while firing.

Three tanks also drove off the river bank and rumbled towards the other side.

However, such a charge almost made the Soviet tanks lose their combat effectiveness, because there were Soviet infantry everywhere in front of them, and the machine guns and tank guns of the tanks were instantly lost, which made it at most a moving shield that could only advance forward.

Then, when the tanks drove into the river, it became even more embarrassing. Two of the three tanks were trapped in the river and could not move... The ice surface was under the snow in the river, and the tank tracks were easy to slip on the ice.

The exact reason is not exactly this, but there are many corpses of Soviet soldiers in the river. After these corpses were crushed by tanks, a large amount of blood oozing out. The blood will soon be frozen in the low temperature, so the two T34s were trapped in the spot and unable to move.

Another car was forced to cross the river and was about to cross the bank and break through the German defense line, but was hit by a rocket coming from the front... After a "boom", it stopped moving.

The T34 is a very excellent tank. It can easily penetrate the German "Three" and "Four" tanks at a distance of 500 meters, but the German tanks must be 100 meters to threaten the T34's inclined armor, which shocked the German armored troops when they saw this tank because they had almost no equipment to deal with this tank, including anti-tank guns.

This is the so-called "T34 crisis".

Of course, Qin Chuan developed the rocket launcher in advance and equipped it to the Eastern Front to some extent alleviate this crisis, but this close-range anti-tank equipment was obviously not enough to reverse the entire battle situation.

Fortunately, the rough-minded character of the Soviets made them lose their combat effectiveness even though they had tanks with excellent performance, but their negligence in some details and tactical errors caused the tank to fail to show its due combat effectiveness.

For example, the Soviets did not attach importance to the command of tanks at this time.

In this regard, it is simply outrageous: the early T34 was not equipped with radio, and flag words were needed between tanks and between tanks and infantry to communicate. After that, only the command vehicle was equipped with radio, and the rest of the tanks were equipped with only one receiving device.

Another manifestation of not paying attention to command is that they often use tank crew members as the commander... In the eyes of the Soviets, they thought that as long as each crew member could do his own thing, the commander was dispensable.

Therefore, the early T34 was usually the gunner and the loader and the driver.

This directly makes it difficult for the T34 tank to cooperate with other units, and there are often cases where people are confused and they can enter the enemy camp alone on the battlefield.

For example, now, if Soviet infantry and tanks can effectively coordinate, infantry rely on tank protection and firepower to advance, and at the same time help tanks solve the difficulties of ice slippage... This is actually very easy to solve, just laying a layer of soil on the ice surface.

On the other hand, the three tanks can coordinate with each other and use mortars to cover them, so they are afraid that the defense line of the German First Infantry Regiment will be torn through just one encounter.

However, because of the independent battle between the Soviet army's infantry, tanks and artillery, the German army once again blocked the Soviet army's offensive.

Colonel Slain asked the command for help amid the sound of gunfire.

"We were attacked by the enemy's large forces, and there is probably one division!" Colonel Slain reported: "We don't have much ammunition left, so please support!"

At this time, the First Infantry Regiment had been assigned to the command of the Central Army Group, with the commander being the Marshal of the Army Kruger (Note: The commander of the Central Army Group was originally Marshal Von Boke, but was dismissed due to the failure of the Battle of Moscow).

Marshal Kruger was ordered to become the commander in the face of danger. At this time, he was like an ant on a hot pan. The reason was that the battlefield situation required him to order the troops to retreat immediately, but Hitler ordered that he not retreat at all.

Kruger realized that this would most likely lead to a major disaster for the Central Army and even the Northern Army to the north.

At this time, Chief of Staff Treskov handed a phone call to Kruger and said, "Marson, Colonel Slein, the First Infantry Regiment!"

"First Infantry Regiment?" Kruger couldn't help but wonder. He was not familiar with this number, and he also didn't understand why the Chief of Staff gave him this phone number... An infantry regiment is almost an insignificant drop in the bucket for the entire Central Army.

"Marson!" General Treskov reminded: "It is the unit that has just been transferred from North Africa to cover the airborne!"

Kruger said "Oh".

If it is a collapsed infantry regiment that is fleeing, it may be ignored, but the troops fighting against the enemy on the defense line, especially the airborne troops that are still carrying out some cover tasks and temporarily under the command of the group army, should be inquired.

"Col. What's the matter?" Kruger asked after taking the microphone.

After listening to Colonel Slain's report, Kruger replied: "No, there is no force in your direction. The main force of the enemy is spared no effort to launch a head-on attack on our group army!"

"But the truth is that we see so many enemies!" Slain was a little anxious: "Marson, do you want to say, are everything I see fake?"

"Okay!" said Kruger. "I'll send a plane to reconnaissance!"

As he said that, Kruger hung up the phone.

Colonel Slain on the other end couldn't help but curse: "Fuck it!"

"What's wrong, Colonel?" Asked Adjutant Lucas.

"They don't believe what I said at all!" said Colonel Slain.

"It's normal!" Lucas replied: "They are all local buns on the eastern front!"

What they didn't know was that Kruger on the other side also had such comments on Colonel Slein.

"You know!" Kruger said to Treskov. "The troops from North Africa are always nervous!"

"Yes!" Treskov agreed: "The African Legion only has a few divisions, so when they encounter a little enemy, they take it for granted that they are the main force of the enemy!"

This is the pain of senior German generals. They always look down on each other: from different military branches, from different battlefields, from different backgrounds...
