*************
The 333rd Regiment retreated layer by layer, firing a few smoke grenades and a few dogs from time to time in the direction where the Germans were chasing them, which would scare the German tank troops into stopping their defense... In fact, by this time the dogs used by the Soviet army had already been
Most of them were ordinary dogs without training, so Soviet soldiers did not dare to tie explosives to them.
The reason is that it is difficult for these dogs to even make them rush towards the enemy. For this reason, the Soviet soldiers had to take some tempting food, such as rolling bread cubes into balls, and then throw them hard in the direction of the Germans... Even so, sometimes
It failed because a group of dogs rushed in the direction of the food, and then when they realized that the food had been taken away, they immediately turned around and ran back to wag their tails at the Soviet soldiers.
If bombs were strapped to these dogs, the Soviet troops themselves would probably be the first to suffer.
However, the Germans still had to be careful, because occasionally there would be a few trained dogs, that is, dogs tied with explosives, mixed in. When the Germans relaxed their vigilance... they would take advantage of the situation and rush under the tank chassis and then "
"Boom" sound.
These were the second priority. Soon the mines also came into play. Several of the tanks that were advancing in neat formation were soon blown up and paralyzed, so the German army had to send engineers to the front.
This caused the 333rd Regiment to retreat in an orderly manner, so that Sulka hoped to show a "rout" but failed.
But this is not important. What is important is that the German army followed from behind and advanced unhurriedly from behind.
Major General Rhodes already felt that there was something unusual about its implementation. The enemy's retreat seemed to be planned.
If the retreat is planned, it means that the Soviet army hopes that the German army will attack in this way, which means that there is likely to be an ambush ahead.
But even so, Major General Schroeder did not take it to heart: So what if there is an ambush ahead? Do those stupid Russians really think they can trap an Imperial Armored Division?
More importantly, there is a greater temptation in front of Major General Schroeder...Moscow.
No German commander could resist this temptation, and they were willing to take crazy risks for it.
So, Major General Schroeder just told his subordinates through the walkie-talkie: "Pay attention to both wings, the enemy may have an ambush!"
The rain in the sky turned into snowflakes again, and soon the view became wider.
"Great!" Major General Schroeder said to the adjutant: "Soon our air force will be put into use!"
What Major General Schroeder did not expect was that they would not be able to wait for that moment to arrive...
The tank continued to "rumble" forward, and then strangely, the enemy was lost in front.
"We can't see them, General!" the forward reconnaissance force reported to Major General Schroeder.
"What do you mean you can't see them?"
"I don't know, it's like they disappeared!"
…
After thinking about it, Major General Schroeder ordered: "Everyone stop advancing!"
The tanks stopped one by one and lined up neatly. The infantrymen, holding their guns, poked their heads out of the gaps between the tanks as if they were facing a powerful enemy and looked ahead, hoping to find some clues about the enemy's ambush.
But there was nothing, except for bursts of coldness and snowflakes mixed with rain, there was only the "rumble" of German tanks.
Then, three red flares suddenly rose into the sky.
Major General Schroeder immediately knew something was wrong and quickly ordered: "Get ready to fight!"
The reason why he did not give the order: "There is an ambush, retreat!", but instead asked the soldiers to prepare for battle, was because he believed that his troops could defeat the enemy, any enemy.
In fact, it was not just Major General Schroeder who thought so. Almost all German officers and soldiers had the same idea at this time: after a large number of equipment and troops were surrounded and annihilated by the German army, no Russian army could stop the German attack. Moscow was like
A city open to the Germans. If there was any trouble, it was muddy roads, mines, roadblocks and bombed-out bridges.
Hitler has declared internationally that Germany has captured 650,000 Soviet troops, 5,000 artillery pieces and 1,200 tanks. Moscow is finished. The ceremony to enter Moscow has been arranged. Hitler will ride a white horse to enter from the direction of Poklon Hill.
In Moscow, all officials even had their gowns and white gloves ready.
Everything also confirms this: the German army can capture Moscow before the harsh winter in the Soviet Union.
Because the 79th Armored Division was already about 60 kilometers outside Moscow at this time, and was still advancing.
The problem is...the 79th Armored Division fell into a trap, a terrible trap that the Germans had never imagined.
There was a burst of artillery fire, and several German tanks at the front were penetrated and black smoke billowed out.
"Anti-tank gun!" a German soldier shouted, and then he hurriedly set up a mortar.
This is a standard procedure for German combat. In addition to being used by the German army to assist infantry attacks, the 50mm mortar is also a good equipment for covering tanks, especially against enemy anti-tank guns... Anti-tank guns are generally equipped with anti-shields.
, it is difficult for bullets to pose a threat to it from the front.
Therefore, if an anti-tank gun is found to be strafed with a machine gun, it will be difficult to have any effect, unless the bullet can pass through the observation hole by chance and hit the gunner hiding behind it.
The mortar is different. Its trajectory is curved and can bypass the shield and hit the gunner behind it.
More importantly, the 50mm mortar has a firing range of 500 meters, which is also the best shooting distance for enemy anti-tank guns.
If it is too far away, it will be difficult to hit; if it is too close, it will be suppressed or even crushed by tanks.
The problem is...
When the German infantry prepared the mortar and prepared to launch it, the "rumbling" sound of the engine sounded from the opposite side, like a rolling thunder, accompanied by rising streams of exhaust gas.
"God!" a gunner couldn't help shouting: "That's not an anti-tank gun, it's an enemy tank!"
Tanks cannot be dealt with by 50mm mortars.
However, the German soldiers still fired rows of mortar shells.
It turned out that they had already guessed that the mortar shells only sent up a cloud of dust and smoke.
Then, tanks drove out of the bunker one after another, with black barrels and angled turrets, all covered with camouflage made of vegetation.
"T34!" the German soldiers shouted: "T34 is everywhere, we are surrounded!"
The German army had faced this kind of tank on the battlefield, so knowing that even one or two of this kind of tank appeared on the battlefield was troublesome enough.
But now, a group of people appeared around them...
