USSR 1941

"Block them?" Shulka couldn't help asking: "Do they know that we only have a dozen tanks with frequent breakdowns and a regiment of troops?"

"There's another engineer regiment!" added the instructor.

"Oh, yes, the Engineer Corps!" Shulka said. "They will build for us. And the enemy has three divisions, two of which are armored divisions!"

"I know it all, Shulka!" said Major Gavrilov. "The problem is that our task is to hold it! Our main force is 20 kilometers from here on the front line. If they take Tula, they will not only cut off the Our army's supply line surrounds the main force of our army, and will also fight along this supply line to Moscow..."

As mentioned before, the main supply line is the railway because the road is muddy and heavily mines and roadblocks.

Shulka turned his gaze to the instructor.

"Is there a question, Comrade Shulka?" asked the instructor.

"I remember someone said...the main task of the 333rd Regiment is to stabilize the hearts of the people!" Shulka said: "It is also impossible to fight tough battles, otherwise the casualties will be too great to carry out propaganda!"

"I said it!" The instructor replied: "However... if you can fight a hard battle and survive, I think the publicity effect will be better!"

Shulka nearly collapsed.

"We have no other choice, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov said. "Nor is the same class!"

Shulka knew the meaning of Major Gavrilov's words, which almost meant the life and death of Moscow.

After thinking about it, Shulka said: "We need to mobilize the horses, Major! We also need to change our tactics, otherwise our current defense line will not be able to stop the enemy!"

"Of course!" Major Gavrilov agreed. "The question is what tactics to use!"

At this time, a word came to Shulka's mind: tank ambush.

The tank ambush was proposed by Katukov, the first hero of the Soviet Union. This tactic is mainly to use the cover of terrain and buildings to ambush the tanks on both sides of the road, and wait for the German tanks and troops to move along the road. Attack from both sides.

It is more suitable for Soviet tanks that are not good at maneuvering and coordination to fight against German tanks, because such an ambush only needs to hide in the tank trench and fire at the enemy with an order.

But of course, this tactic was not available to Katukov... The classic battle he fought took place in October.

Moreover, Shulka intends to make some improvements to tank ambushes.

"We must use the engineers!" Shulka said: "Let them dig anti-tank trenches in front of the position!"

"It may not be of much use, Shulka!" said Major Gavrilov. "The Germans will fill up the anti-tank trenches!"

"Of course!" Shulka replied, "but what if they can't?"

"Can you fill it in?" Major Gavrilov didn't understand the meaning of Shulka's words: "It's impossible, as long as they know where the anti-tank trenches are..."

Major Gavrilov looked at Shulka suspiciously.

It's just a matter of time, sandbags, stones, etc., there will be nothing that can't be filled.

"Ordinary anti-tank trenches can indeed be filled!" Shulka said: "But if these anti-tank trenches are irregular and invisible...they don't know where to fill them!"

"Is there any anti-tank trench that can't be seen?" the Fuming government, who had not interrupted, asked with an incredulous expression.

"Mud, Comrade Commissar!" Shulka said: "When we have dug the anti-tank trenches, we will fill them with mud or some other cover..."

Major Gavrilov and Commissar Fomin were stunned.

"This seems to be a feasible method!" Major Gavrilov said: "After grouting, it looks no different from other places on the surface!"

"Yes!" Commissar Fuming said, "And the mud is everywhere!"

"Why is it irregular?" the instructor asked.

"If it is a regular anti-tank trench!" Shulka said: "The enemy can easily detect its trend and then cross these anti-tank trenches! Because it is a complete one,

Then find a way to get past it. But if it's irregular, I mean one here and one there..."

"Then they can't fill it in!" said Major Gavrilov, "because they don't know where!"

"Yes!" Shulka said: "We don't even need to dig the anti-tank trench too deep and too long. In fact, we only need to dig a few holes, and the tank may not be able to get up if it falls headlong!"

Everyone nodded.

You must know that there is mud everywhere around here, and the tanks may get stuck in the pits when they are driving on the road. If the pits are artificially dug, and these pits are still filled with mud, it cannot be seen... so it will be Become a trap that tanks cannot pass through.

"It's like a swamp, a swamp for tanks!" Commissar Fumin said.

"And the railway?" said Major Gavrilov. "They can attack from the railway!"

"If the enemy tanks can only advance along the railway, things will be simple!" Shulka took out a few bullets and used them to represent the enemy's tanks, and said while placing them: "The enemy tanks advance in a single file along the railway. Ambush tanks or anti-tank guns on both sides of the railway...just destroy the few in front and the few behind, and they will block their entire tank army on the railway!"

"And we have set up traps in the mud next to the railway!" Commissar Fuming said pleasantly, "As soon as they leave the railway, they will fall into the trap and cannot move!"

Shulka nodded: "Simply put, we can exchange a few ambushing tanks or a few tank guns for their entire team of tanks!"

"But it requires us to have a high hit rate!" Major Gavrilov said: "If we can't accurately hit the enemy tanks at the head and tail, they will break into our defense line along the railway!"

"Yes!" said Shulka, "so we need the best gunners!"

Gavrilov shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We don't have the best gunners, Shulka! Coupled with the poor visibility in this weather...we can't pin our hopes on them!"

"So, we're going to give them some pre-battle training!" Shulka said.

"Pre-battle training?"

Major Gavrilov and Commissar Fomin looked puzzled.

You must know that it is less than ten hours before dawn, which means that the Soviet army only has ten hours at most.

At this time, the training can be described as "grinding the gun before the battle"... What effect can it play? !
