Chapter 515

Deliberately biting the stress on the two words "oak leaf" and "Knight", the soldier with an mp-44 assault rifle stood up, lay down on the pit wall of the trench, leaned out half of his head, looked at the approaching opponent, and shrunk back with a sneer: "it's really a long time since I've met such a rushing Soviet army, Last time it was in Poland... "

"Boom!" One shell hit the open space not far from the German position, followed by the second and third. The German commanders of the company immediately frowned. These large caliber shells were not the 60mm mortar they brought. Obviously, the Soviets had at least three guns to support them. The caliber was not small, at least 122mm.

With the support of these cannons, the German grenadiers who are good at fighting against the wind have not paid attention to them, but the things behind these cannons make people have to take them seriously. There must be more Soviet troops with heavy artillery. If there is not at least one regiment or even one division, it is obvious that it is not an opponent that 100 German grenadiers can block.

"Hurry up! Call the battalion for reinforcements! Tell them that if the reinforcements can't get here in half an hour, the town of y107 may be unable to defend! " The company commander put down his telescope and said to the radio operator nearby, "air support should be as fast as possible! We'll find whatever reinforcements we can find! "

As soon as his words were finished, more Soviet shells fell on the open space in front of the German position, raising one thick column of smoke full of black soil. The Soviets had at least five cannons firing, and they seemed to have plenty of ammunition. The commander of the Grenadier company immediately judged the size of the Red Army in the opposite Soviet Union, with at least one regiment, and strengthened the artillery firepower.

Pray that they are infantry regiments. In this way, the German army has at least three tanks with the advantage of armor. Putting these tanks in at the critical moment can at least repel the other party's attack and gain valuable time for retreating or waiting for help. He prayed in his heart that his wish would come true.

However, it seems that the goddess of fate is here to play with the German army today. The more things she doesn't want to see, the more things she will appear in front of them. Just as the German company commander prayed, a Soviet T-26 tank appeared behind the Soviets. At this time, the heavy machine gun on the flank of the Soviets opened fire, and the bullets hit the German position. The sound sounded like raindrops on the eaves.

"Bang!" The German sniper was not polite at this time. He shot directly. A Soviet soldier who charged at the front fell down and gave the first scream on the battlefield.

There is a shield on the heavy machine gun of the Soviet Union. This layer of steel plate makes German snipers unable to play. However, it is obvious that although this layer of shield protects the safety of Soviet shooters, it also limits the horizontal adjustment angle of heavy machine gun fire. Of course, the increased weight also makes these heavy machine guns rarely move.

"Boom!" Sure enough, the German mortar team, which has long remembered all the shooting elements in every corner of the front battlefield, did not let its comrades wait too long. A clean shell silenced the roaring Soviet heavy machine gun position. The light smoke there seemed to have explained everything.

"Suddenly! Suddenly At this time, the G42 machine gun hidden in Germany opened fire, sweeping over a piece of Red Army soldiers who were close to 300 meters away. The reason why the heavy machine guns of the Red Army of the Soviet Union fired ahead of time was inexperienced. The reason why the German machine guns fired ahead of time was that the Soviet Union's suppression firepower was out of gear. At this time, they fired safely.

These Soviet soldiers, just like fighting chicken blood, chanted the slogan of ulah and rushed to the German defense positions. Maybe a machine gun was obviously not enough to deter them. They still charged forward closely until the distance between the two sides was 200 meters.

At this time, the German front-end machine gun position had to be shifted. If they stayed there any longer, the tanks behind the Soviets would fire and suppress them. So the two machine gunners with their machine guns retreated through the traffic ditch, leaving the dusty front-end machine gun position beaten by the Soviet infantry bullets to the Soviets who wanted revenge but had nowhere to vent.

However, just a few seconds later, the German position became lively. The G43 semi-automatic rifles and mp-44 assault rifles opened fire together, and the bullets flew to the Soviet Red Army. In a moment, at least 50 Soviet soldiers were shot and fell, and then almost 20 more were killed by the bullets.

In addition to those who were killed by German machine guns, almost 100 people were killed by the Soviet Union in less than ten seconds. However, these Soviet soldiers did not seem to be afraid of death at all, and they still attacked the German positions without hesitation. Unfortunately, as the fighting continued, the casualties of these Soviet soldiers became more and more serious.

There is a critical point for the collapse of any army. For example, the critical point for the collapse of an army without training or combat is about 5% to 10%. That is to say, a troop with 100 troops will collapse if 10 troops are lost. After training, the proportion can be increased to 20% or even 25%. Of course, if the army is firm in belief and experienced in battle, the proportion may extend to 30% to 50%. There used to be a lot of troops who lost more than half of their troops and still fought to death, but this situation rarely happened.

Under normal circumstances, casualties occur after a rout, that is to say, the casualties are not the heaviest in a real battle. Therefore, it is an important way to reduce casualties to improve the training level of the troops and make the opponent unable to bear the loss and rout when fighting. Because often a unit may lose only ten men in battle, but they are chased and killed by the enemy in the process of escape, and 30 or even 300 people escape. After more than ten minutes of fighting, the Soviet army in front of the German army could not bear its own losses. A battalion of 500 infantry troops has lost nearly 200 people in just ten minutes, which is the limit of normal endurance. These Soviet soldiers began to retreat backward, and the distance they gained with countless blood and lives was gradually ceded to the German army. Compared with the time when they came, these retreating soldiers are hesitant and unwilling. After all, it is impossible to rewrite the outcome of the war because some people are not willing to. In the end, they retreated, somewhat embarrassed. The German army had no surplus troops to carry out counter charge, and they were really not in the mood to catch up and take advantage of it. At this time, they needed to organize ammunition, reinforce positions, and prevent the Soviets from continuing to bombard. There were many things waiting for them to prepare, each of which was more meaningful than pursuing the defeated Soviet army“ You are the great leader of the Soviet Union, comrade Stalin, and the bravest fighters! Can't go back! If you don't keep charging! Will be tried for treason! Step back and we'll shoot! " Just as everyone was relieved that the battle was over, the Soviet Union behind the team called out such a sentence in Russian through loudspeakers. Of course, the German army didn't understand what they were shouting, but then they understood the meaning from the way the other side was doing. Because the Soviet soldiers in the rear are shooting their own soldiers with machine guns, driving them to continue their desperate attacks“ My God! They are shooting at their own people A German soldier was surprised to see a farce on the opposite side. He didn't believe what his eyes saw“ Get ready to fight! Check and organize the ammunition! Use this time to load the magazine! hurry up! Move fast! They're coming again One of the veterans responded and yelled as he pressed the scattered bullets one by one into the magazine of the mp-44 assault rifle. Everyone began to get busy. The Soviet artillery fire started again. With this round of artillery fire, hundreds of Soviet soldiers joined the attack team. The Soviet T-26 tank, which had been falling at the end of the team, also began to accelerate and rushed towards the German position“ Anti tank team! Get ready to fight! Soviet tanks are coming! Be careful A platoon leader lying on the position saw the approaching tank on the opposite side and cried out: "all attention! Fire at my command
