After a long journey of two or three kilometers and several turns in the highlands, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade turned out of the mountain col.

The position deployed by the German 46th Division was very good. They used the terrain to build a semicircular defense line one kilometer away from the mountain col. Machine gun positions, anti-tank gun positions, etc. formed cross fires aimed at the mouth of the mountain col. From here, they rushed

The troops that go out will naturally fall into their pocket formation.

It is conceivable that if they attack normally, even if the Soviet army has T34 tanks, they still cannot withstand the bombardment of anti-tank guns from different directions at the same time, so if they go out, one will be destroyed and the other will turn into a tank.

Add fuel to your tactics and move up little by little to serve as a target for the enemy.

But it's different now.

When Shurka followed the tank out of the mountain col, he found that the Romanian army and the German army were already fighting in the front position... At this time, the German army was ruthless against the Romanian army, and the machine guns were "squeaking".

Shooting at them, mowing down row after row of Romanian soldiers to the ground, while mortars fired at them one after another.

On the other hand, the German army found a big loudspeaker from nowhere and asked someone to shout to the front in Romanian: "Soldiers of the 4th Mountain Brigade, General Agapia ordered you to organize defenses on the spot. Anyone who retreats will

All actions will be severely punished! There is only one way for you to survive, pick up your weapons and stop the Russians..."

But of course the Romanian soldiers would not listen to what the Germans said.

Sometimes the betrayal of allies is more hateful than that of enemies. This is the state of Romanian soldiers at this time... Although the German army is not actually a "betrayal", the Romanians don't know this and certainly don't believe it.

They were like gangsters who were obsessed with killing, and they wanted to get someone on their backs before they died no matter what, especially when they saw T34 tanks driving out from behind.

At this time, the T34 tank can be said to be famous far and wide. Needless to say, the reason is that there are almost no tanks or even anti-tank guns in the German army that can deal with the T34.

You must know that among the German allies, the German tanks and tactics can be said to be godlike. Of course, this is related to the German "Blitzkrieg" sweeping across the European continent.

However, now, the German army, which is like a god, has nothing to do with the T34 and has even been defeated by the T34 many times... You can only imagine the shock that the T34 will have among them.

In this case, few Romanian soldiers believed what the Germans preached: "There is only one way to survive, and that is to stop and block the Russian army!"

From the perspective of the Romanian soldiers, using flesh and blood to block the Russian T34 is no different than a dead end. On the contrary, only by breaking through the German defense line can there be a chance of survival... In addition, there are "spies" to pick among them, so they cheered.

, the Romanian soldiers pressed toward the German positions like a piece of turbid water.

The fighting was fierce at the front, and the 1st Guards Tank Brigade was gradually deploying its troops from behind. They even used tank guns, mortars and machine guns to provide fire cover for the charging Romanian soldiers... At this time, they were divided

It is unclear who is the enemy and who is the friend.

"General!" the signalman reported to Sponneck: "The Russians are coming, their armor! But we can't organize a defense because the Romanians are attacking our position!"

Sponneck was silent for a while and then ordered: "Order the artillery to prepare!"

"General!" the adjutant looked at Sponeneck nervously.

"Execute the order!" said Spanek.

"yes!"

Although the German army had been shooting at Romanian soldiers before, it had always left room for action, such as machine guns and mortars. These could only be regarded as light weapons. The German army wanted to scare those allies and let them stay in place to resist.

But if these are useless, then artillery can only be used.

"The artillery is ready!" In less than a minute, the signal trooper came with the news.

At this point Sponneck hesitated.

The reason why he hesitates is not because he is soft-hearted, but because the artillery fire coverage of his allies will have a series of side effects. For example, the cooperation with the Romanian army will definitely not be as close as before, and the Romanian army will keep a hand in any battle in the future.

Or perfunctory.

This cannot be compensated for by diplomatic means or other interests, even if the German army did the right thing in this matter.

This influence will even continue to expand, because other allies will feel "thumped" in their hearts after hearing this... If the German army can be so cruel to the Romanian army, will it deal with them like this one day?

These are even likely to be used by the Russian army and further divide the German allies.

Therefore, the victory Shurka achieved by using this alienation tactic was actually not just on this battlefield, but also the subsequent destabilization of the entire German alliance.

But after careful consideration, Sponneck believed that protecting the line of defense was more important than this. After all, the line of defense in front of him was not just a line of defense, it could be said to be the guarantee of the security of the German army in Crimea.

Thinking of this, Sponneck squeezed out one word from between his teeth: "Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

…

"Woo!" Amidst the roar of artillery shells, the howitzers hit the front of the German position in pieces, and then set off streaks of smoke and dust that radiated upward.

This was the German army's immobile blocking fire, which meant that their artillery had calculated the parameters early and tested it, so the shells hit very accurately within a kilometer in front of the German defense line.

The shells fired one after another, bringing batch after batch of Romanian soldiers into the air.

The entire sky was blackened by the blast, and corpses, limbs and dust were flying everywhere. The sunlight was blocked by them, and the entire battlefield fell into darkness.

However, Spanek's decision was still too late. He should have made a decisive decision earlier and used artillery to blast the Romanian soldiers into the sky.

At this time...

"Fire!" Katukov ordered.

Artillery fire from the Soviet position rang out, and these shells went straight to the German artillery position, silenced the German artillery fire in a few minutes.

Following Lieutenant Colonel Zahakavich's order, the tank rumbled forward amid the smoke.

Because the German artillery fire suddenly stopped during the suppression of the Soviet army, the German army was not mentally prepared. By the time they reacted, the sound of the Soviet tank's motor was already close at hand.

"They're coming up!" the German commander shouted in panic, and at the same time, whistles were blown, and German soldiers poked their heads out of the trenches and raised their weapons.
