But in fact, Qin Chuan is not sure.

Although theoretically speaking, there are indeed enough ME63s, ME63 has never been transported intermittently since the 1st Infantry Regiment stepped onto the battlefield, and now it has a thousand pieces.

One thousand ME63s, if they perform well, they can destroy 300 enemy tanks. Even if this number is simply subtracted... 700 Soviet tanks were destroyed by 300, and only 400 were left. This number has no great advantage over the 200 German tanks.

What's more, judging from the combat situation on the Kovo Plain, the role of new weapons on the battlefield is sometimes not a simple issue of adding or subtracting numbers, but also a problem of controlling the entire field.

For example, the torrent of Soviet tanks launched an attack on the German defense line. There were only a dozen tanks in one wave, and twenty tanks could break through the German firepower blockade and break into the German defense line. Then there were more than ten tanks, twenty tanks caused chaos in the German defense line, and the final collapse of their defense would eventually lose the battle.

If ME63 could destroy these dozen or twenty tanks on the road, the Soviet tanks would come up one after another and all of them would be destroyed on the road of attack and could not enter the German defense line.

Even this impact will become weaker as tank wreckage increases and morale problems become weaker.

Therefore, if ME63 could really destroy 300 tanks, there would be no problem. At that time, I was afraid that the 5th Tank Army of the Su Guards would have collapsed long ago, and the German army would undoubtedly win.

The question is whether ME63 can still destroy the target with a hit rate of up to 3-1 like before.

Qin Chuan has been worried about a problem... The manipulator must continue to control the ME63 warhead for more than ten seconds. If this defect is discovered by the Soviets, the effect of ME63 will be reduced in number.

Qin Chuan's worries unfortunately became a reality.

As an anti-tank weapon developed and equipped urgently, some problems will inevitably arise when used on the battlefield, such as some ME63s are launched but not exploded.

So the Soviets obtained two almost complete ME63 warheads.

Vatujing was ecstatic and immediately transferred several scientific researchers to study and analyze them... The reason why the researchers were transferred to the front line instead of sending the rocket back was because he was worried that the accidental explosion occurred during the sending back.

Then, without surprise, the researchers discovered the wires connected behind the warhead, and then naturally deduced how the rocket changed its trajectory in the air and hit the target.

"They think that someone is manipulating the rocket and hitting the target!" Lieutenant General Kazakov reported to Vatujin: "It is the wire connected to the rocket, and this has been confirmed. Many people have found such wires on the battlefield, but they don't know what it is for!"

"You mean..." Vatujing said as he looked at the drawings and held the thin wire in his hand that was difficult to detect with his naked eyes: "Did they use this wire to control the rocket?"

"Yes, Comrade Vatutin!" Lieutenant General Kazakov replied.

"So, it's not tracking automatically?" Vatujing asked again.

"Yes, Comrade Vatujing!"

After pausing, Lieutenant General Kazakov pointed to the tracer behind the drawing and said, "Many of us have seen a highlight behind it on the battlefield. We have never understood what this highlight has to do before. Now we combine it with the wires... we think it is to facilitate shooters to observe the position of the rocket and make it more accurate!"

Vatujing nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "In other words, they need to control this rocket for more than ten seconds to accurately hit the target..."

At this moment, the staff officer reported to Vatujing with a telegram: "Comrade Vatujing, Comrade Rotmistrov reported that the Germans had signs of retreat!"

Vatujing took the telegram without saying a word, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his eyes to the map.

"They may want to retreat south of the Pushur River to defend the river!" Lieutenant General Kazakov said: "If this is the case, it will be troublesome!"

Vatujing didn't say anything. He looked at the rocket drawings and looked at the time. It was dawn in about twenty minutes.

Vatuting thought this was an opportunity, so he immediately ordered: "Send the information to Comrade Rotmistrov, and then let him organize an attack immediately. The Germans must not escape to the south bank of the Puschor River!"

"yes!"

At this time, his command team, led by General Rotmistrov, observed the German army on a high ground southwest of Prokorovka.

From the beginning, Rotmistrov advocated taking the initiative to attack because he believed that his troops had enough strength to suppress their opponents, but Vatutin repeatedly ordered not to act rashly because the Germans had a new anti-tank weapon in their hands, which was likely to cause a fatal blow to the tank troops.

But Rotmistrov disagreed with this. He believed that the failure of the 5th Tank Army on the Kovo Plain was because the attack surface was not wide enough that the tank troops could not be deployed.

Prokorovka is different. Here, tank troops can attack from two sides, and even if the Germans have any new weapons... they will eventually collapse under their overwhelming offensive.

It is precisely because of this that the Germans hope to retreat to the south bank of the Pushore River.

Rotmistrov was anxiously watching the lights guiding the tank opposite in the telescope gradually fading away, and there were staff members around him constantly reporting:

"I observed enemy tanks on the Pushol River and headed to the south bank!"

"Discover Germans laying mines on the front line!"

"The enemy builds fortifications on the south bank!"

...

"Comrade Rotmistrov!" At this time, the staff report said: "Comrade Vatujing ordered us to organize an attack immediately and not allow the enemy to escape to the south bank of the Pushore River!"

"I finally waited!" Rotmistrov ordered: "Be prepared for battle!"

"And this!" the staff officer handed over another telegram and said: "They found the weakness of 'tracking rockets'!"

Rotmistrov took the telegram and looked at it, then nodded and said, "The doomsday of the invaders has arrived!"

So, before the sky was completely dawn, the Soviet army launched an attack on the German army.

The battle begins with air combat and artillery war.

First, a large number of artillery shells rushed to the German positions with roars, a considerable number of them targeted the pontoon bridges on the Puscher River... As long as the pontoon bridge was destroyed, it could effectively prevent the German army from retreating to the south bank of the Puscher River.

Secondly, fighter jets covered a large number of bombers flying over the Pushore River. After dropping a few flares, the bombers dropped a large number of bombs on the pontoon bridge.
