??Chapter 210 Tarasik

?? I owe a chapter, I will make it up tomorrow!

??************

?? Shulka soon learns that there are dangers to be had with these minedogs...

?? "We must remove the barbed wire!" Tarasik said to Major Gavrilo.

?? "Which passage?" asked Major Gavrilov.

?? "All, Comrade Major!" Tarasik said, "Otherwise the barbed wire will entangle these mine dogs, and then those explosives will explode in front of us!"

??Major Gavrilov gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a word: "Demolition!"

?? "And mines..." said Tarasik.

?? "Drain!"

??Major Gavrilov had a disturbed face when he said these words.

??If the anti-tank trench is a barrier, then barbed wire and landmines are like infantry clothes.

?? Removing them is like leaving the infantry naked to face the enemy.

?? But it's not over yet...

?? "And those weeds, bushes..."

?? "Enough!" Major Gavrilov suddenly became angry: "Do you know how important these are to soldiers? They need these to hide themselves!"

??Tarasik seemed to be intimidated by the major, and dared not say anything more after saying "yes".

?? But Shulka knew why.

"Comrade Major!" Shulka said, "Tarasik is right, the detonator of the mine dog is a short stick that sticks upright on the back, and if it trips over weeds and bushes... it means that the explosives are explode!"

?? Seeing that Gavrilov was silent, Shulka added: "Land mines, barbed wire, and those weeds and bushes can't stop the enemy's tanks, but mine dogs may be able to!"

?? "Okay, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov said to Tarasik impatiently: "What preparations need to be made is to be completed, not even the trenches have to be demolished!"

?? "No, Comrade Major!" Tarasik replied: "That's it!"

??Major Gavrilov raised his head, and Tarasik left as if fleeing.

Major Gavrilov offered Shulka a cigarette and said thoughtfully: "I've never fought a battle like this, Shulka...it doesn't look like a war. I mean , it is more like cheating, playing tricks, or even pinning hope on the enemy!"

?? "I understand, Comrade Major!" said Shulka.

?? This is indeed a bit inconsistent with the Soviets' habit of rushing and killing on the battlefield.

but…

?? "We are not fighting for the sake of fighting, Comrade Major!" Shulka continued: "We are fighting for victory, for Moscow, for the people!"

?? Major Gavrilov nodded silently.

??So, instead of adding an anti-tank trench in front of the battlefield, all the fortifications and roadblocks were dismantled, and the weeds and bushes were all chopped up... The front of the position can be said to be flat.

?? "May I have a suggestion?" Shulka asked Tarasik who was preparing.

?? "Of course, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" Tarasik hurriedly stopped his actions to appease the mine dog.

"If the enemy attacks!" Shulka said, pointing to the position in front of the trench, "their tanks will be concentrated on both sides of the railway, because this area is safer, and it is easier to use them in case they get stuck in a mud pit." The other tanks are pulling it out! So, I think you should spread as many minedogs as possible around the area."

?? "Yes, Comrade Ensign!"

?? "Of course, you can't release them all at once, understand?"

?? "Yes, Comrade Ensign!"

??It was getting dark, and Major General Schroeder, the commander of the German 79th Motorized Division, was constantly urging the troops to hurry.

"Think about what is waiting for you ahead!" Major General Schroeder said to the forward troops: "It is Moscow, we are only less than 80 kilometers away from Moscow! The 79th Division... will be the first troops to enter Moscow, And you are the first imperial soldiers to set foot on Moscow!"

This glory stimulated the blood of every German soldier, and all of them rushed forward like chicken blood, especially when they knew that they had broken through the enemy's last line of defense and successfully stepped on the enemy's roadblock before it was too late. after the railway.

??German soldiers encouraged each other as they advanced:

?? "Do you know what this means? The gates of Moscow are open to us! We have no reason to waste time sleeping and resting!"

?? "I heard the Air Force blew up a railway bridge today!"

?? "These damned guys... they must be jealous of us and don't want us to get to Moscow so soon!"

??…

??That's why it was said that the bombing of the railway bridge was an "accidental" phenomenon. At this time, the German army itself did not want the railway bridge to be bombed.

?? It's just that what they don't know is that if the railway bridge has not been blown up, they should have kicked the iron plate at this time.

?? But now it's not much different...

?? At the forefront is the German reconnaissance team, which usually consists of three rounds, armored vehicles, and a few No. 2 tanks.

??The three-wheeled side drives ahead to scout the road conditions, and the armored vehicles and the No. 2 tank provide support for the front when they follow closely.

??The vehicle traverses an open field.

Lieutenant Kugel, the commander of the three-wheeler, sat on the side seat and shook a simple searchlight to illuminate the surroundings... This is a must-have equipment for the reconnaissance troops when the German army marches at night. It is usually installed on the three-wheeler and armored vehicles to facilitate Scouts are better at observing terrain, terrain, or spotting danger.

?? Then Second Lieutenant Kugel immediately ordered: "Be careful, something is not normal here!"

?? At the moment when the searchlight was turned on just now, Kugel noticed that this open area had been artificially rested.

?? Artificially rested... This is almost synonymous with having an enemy, although he doesn't know why the enemy has to rest like this, they look flat and dry, which is a rare battlefield for tanks.

?? Lieutenant Kugel's warning soon became a reality.

??Because the roar of enemy machine guns came from the darkness on both sides... the three rounds driving at the front lost control in the rain of bullets, rushed to the side of the road and overturned.

??Second Lieutenant Kugel and his subordinates immediately stopped for three rounds, turned over, got out of the car and lay low, and then took up their rifles and submachine guns to prepare for battle.

??Tanks and armored vehicles "rumbled" up, but they didn't dare to turn on their lights because they were worried that the enemy would have anti-tank guns.

??Lieutenant Kugel ordered: "Flare!"

??Several flares rose into the sky, illuminating a carefully camouflaged enemy position several hundred meters ahead.

?? "Follow the tank!" Second Lieutenant Kugel ordered. This terrain is suitable for tank battles, and he will not give up this opportunity easily.

??The tank used machine guns to suppress the enemy's firepower in the trench, and at this time the German infantry bravely leaped forward.

??Suddenly, under the light of the flares, a figure quickly emerged from the enemy's trench.

?? "A dog!" Lieutenant Kugel heard someone yell.
