However, this problem is easy to solve. Qin Chuan pulled off the cloak that he draped on his body for disguise, tied it to a rifle, then stretched out from the tank compartment and shook it outside...

Gerhard, who had already arranged a rocket launcher, felt a little strange when he saw it. He clearly saw in the telescope that the T34 destroyed several Soviet tanks in succession, and then destroyed the building to block the road. At this time, when he saw the tank stretching out a white flag, he hurriedly ordered: "No shooting, it may be a tank that surrendered to us!"

Then, the tank "rumbled" to the defense line and stopped surrounded by German soldiers.

"Don't shoot!" Qin Chuan shouted outside: "We are Germans!"

But to be on the safe side, Qin Chuan raised his hands and slowly leaned out... Although this seemed a bit cowardly, it was better than being accidentally injured by his own people. You must know that these soldiers are all scattered soldiers with little combat experience. If they were nervous and pulled the trigger, their lives would be killed in their own hands.

A flashlight quickly shone on Qin Chuan's face, so someone immediately called out: "God, it's the captain!"

"It's me!" Qin Chuan felt relieved: "Aren't you going to put away the flashlight?"

"Yes, Captain!" The German soldiers hurriedly pressed the flashlight.

Gerhard also rushed over and looked at the excited German soldiers and Qin Chuan who came out of the tank and asked in confusion: "Captain... why are you in the tank?"

"Don't you recognize this tank anymore, Lieutenant Colonel?" Qin Chuan raised his head toward the tank behind him: "We fixed it, then drove it back, that's it!"

The German soldiers around were all stunned, and then there was a burst of cheers.

Let's look at the direction of the Soviet army. Because the road was blocked and could not pass, the Lovati River and the five-meter-high east bank were blocking like a city wall, they had to give up the attack.

"Unbelievable!" Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard lay beside Qin Chuan, who was observing the front line with a telescope, and said: "You can almost say that you blocked the enemy with your own strength, otherwise our defense line might have been broken through by the Soviets!"

"We are just a little lucky, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "We won't be so lucky next time! Judging from the performance of our troops in this battle, they cannot be considered a qualified army!"

"I agree, Captain!" replied Lt. Col. Gerhard, "Give them some time, I'm sure they will satisfy you!"

"I hope so!" Qin Chuan replied.

Major General Vardani of the Soviet army was furious at this situation. He roared at Colonel Yefimxi, who was responsible for the attack: "I gave you two infantry regiments, one tank battalion and two artillery battalions, but what did you give me? What else is there except a few broken houses and a few corpses in Hexi? What's even more terrifying is that the tank battalion disappeared in your hands... "

Although Major General Vardani's words were a bit exaggerated, they were not far from the facts.

The Soviet army's strategic purpose tonight was not just to capture Hexi... They knew from the very beginning that Hexi was not a strategic location, not only not a strategic location, but also because of the curved river channels, the Soviet army entering Hexi was surrounded by the enemy's natural semi-encirclement.

Major General Vardani originally hoped to use tanks to occupy one or two important bridgeheads in Hedong and gain a foothold, so that the Soviet army could break into Hedong and expand its results by dawn.

Unexpectedly, not only did this purpose not be achieved, the T34 tanks instantly lost eight: two of them were destroyed, and three were buried in the ruins of collapsed buildings and life and death were uncertain. It was a bit of danger; one was hit by a cement block coming from the sky and basically became scrap iron; two were in panic and turned to the highway, and it was inevitable to reuse it.

You should know that the T34 production was not large at this time. There were only five tank battalions in one army. Only two of these five tank battalions were T34 tank battalions. There were only more than 30 T34s in total, but eight were lost overnight. No wonder Vardani felt distressed.

"Comrade Vardani!" Colonel Yefimhi stepped forward and replied: "This loss was an accident. We did not expect that the enemy would have a T34, and they would also sneak into our tank formation..."

"This is not an accident that can be explained!" Major General Vardani interrupted Colonel Yefimhi's words: "There will be accidents at any time on the battlefield. Without accidents, there will be no war. Now, because of your mistakes, it may take a greater price to seize Holm, which may affect the progress of our battle. Comrade Stalin will not hold us accountable because of "accidents"!"

Colonel Yefimhi was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Vardani was right. Stalin would not ask about any process. As long as the mission failed, no matter what the reason was, it would be a death sentence.

"Comrade Vardani!" Colonel Yefimhi stood up and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely capture Holm within the prescribed time and eliminate all these invaders who invaded our motherland here!"

Vardani nodded: "Very good, Comrade Yefimhi. But you have to pay attention to strengthening air defense while attacking, so that they can't get more supplies, do you understand?"

"Yes, Comrade Vardani!" Colonel Yefimushi saluted and turned around and went out.

After Colonel Yefimhi went out, the political commissar Mattwich handed a telegram to Valdani and said, "This is a call from Holm. They found out the main force of the Germans!"

After receiving the telegram, Vardani was stunned: "First Infantry Regiment? I thought they were airborne regiments!"

"They are indeed airborne regiments!" Mattevich replied: "It's just that the number is the infantry regiment!"

"What a strange force!" said Valdani: "I've never heard of it before!"

"No, you've heard of it!" said Matvich.

Vardani looked at Mattevich in confusion.

"They were transferred from Africa!" said Mattevich. "Have you heard of the 'Legend Sergeant'?"

Major General Valdani's eyes couldn't help but lit up: "Comrade Mattevich, what do you mean... the First Infantry Regiment is the unit where the 'Legend Sergeant' is located? The 'Legend Sergeant' is in Holm?"

Mattwich nodded and said, "The Legendary Sergeant is not only in Holm, but also... he was in that tank last night. I'm talking about the tank that destroyed our eight T34s. This matter has spread in Holm!"
