Chapter 1553： Sea of ​​Azov Offensive IV

With the deepening of the Russian army, the directional thunder and thunder that were originally hidden in the trenches were triggered one by one. In a semi-enclosed space, the lethality of these weapons was greatly enhanced. And when the Russian army entering the trench had not reacted from the smoke, a group of infantry carrying submachine guns and submachine pistols had rushed in front of them. The mp submachine guns called bullet sprayers were matched with large-capacity drums. Reaping the opponent's life quickly.

German troops familiar with the position can always appear in the least expected place of the Russians. In this hide-and-seek battle, the Russian army who first entered the position was hit by densely packed landmines and the fierce melee firepower of the Germans and could not find the north. At this time, the subsequent reinforcements were suppressed by the remaining German mortars and machine guns.

The machine gun group alternately moved positions, and with the cooperation of smoke screens and mortars, hiding the Russian flat-fire artillery attacks, and when the Russian army entering the position was wiped out, this attack actually failed. After all, The Russians’ artillery shells were not unlimited, they needed to re-transport artillery shells from the rear, and the offensive troops also needed to be reorganized.

"The big deal is just one more time. We can't fight once. We can fight twice, three times! Sooner or later, they can drive them out." The Russian officer in charge of the offensive said dismissively. Generally speaking, the Russians have never been more sophisticated than the forces of other powers of the same period. In addition, Russia has a large population, so they are very willing to drag their opponents to death at a higher human cost than their opponents.

However, what he did not expect was that the battlefield situation was constantly changing. While the current line seemed to be shaky, the changes in the depths of the battle line could completely change the situation!

"The battleship Prinz Eugen has been replenished with ammunition and has taken over the task of suppressing frontal firepower, so our truck guns can be used to support the docks, and the inland river gunboats we need are in place to move along the river. This time , We can break each other’s spine!"

At this moment, the Germans have readjusted their firepower deployment. The truck guns that had been withdrawn were strengthened and transferred again. The arrival of a team of inland river gunboats equipped with 88mm and 105mm guns caused a crisis on the flank of the Russian army, but lacked The Russian investigators know nothing about it!

When the Russians were about to launch the 10th attack, when a large number of infantry entered the position amidst the scolding of the officers, the artillery regained ammunition, and the deployment of the forward position was completed. On the river flanking the battlefield, there were several gray-black figures. Appearing in the Russians’ vision, the Russians saw these, but they didn’t care at first, because many Russian personnel and ammunition were transported across this river, and because the fleet was backlit, they didn’t. Did not recognize the German naval ensign above the first time.

Four 850-ton destroyers made a temporary guest appearance as a gunboat. They unloaded the torpedoes, and each ship was equipped with two 105mm artillery and three 88mm artillery. The four destroyers did not attack the Russian forward position for the first time. They chose to go upstream and aimed directly at the 107mm cannon and 122mm artillery positions behind. These are the pillars of the Russian firepower. The front 3-inch rapid-fire gun was handled by others.

The two seaplanes flew to the battlefield again, and the Russians were not surprised at this. Although it was at the Russian home court, there are no more than one hand in the entire Donetsk Garrison. The Russians really can't do anything with these planes, but fortunately, they are just reconnaissance planes instead of bombers, and they don't even do low-altitude strafing. This is why most Russians ignore them, right?

"Found it!" The two seaplanes finally found the long-range artillery position from the messy rear of the Russian army. Two companies of 122mm artillery and 1 company of 107mm artillery were deployed not far from the river bank, and there were also A temporary dock used to unload materials needed by the frontline offensive forces.

The arrangement of the Russians was good. Their artillery position was separated from the river by a hill, which just blocked the view from the river bank. And what is certain is that the Russians must hide an observation post somewhere. Be alert for possible attacks from the river bank.

The roar of a series of artillery broke the calm on the river. From the observation post of the Russians, they could see a series of fireballs rising from the water in the direction away from the sun, and the artillery shells roared to the Russian army 6000 meters away. Although the lethality of 105mm and 88mm artillery is relatively limited, the artillery positions are also quite lethal for Russian artillery positions that have not even been constructed!

It has to be said that the fighting quality and vigilance of the remaining Russian artillery is much worse than before. Maybe it feels that there is no threat, maybe it is just to save effort. The Russians have accumulated too much next to the open-air artillery. The ammunition, and this time, when suddenly attacked, all kinds of hidden dangers are deadly!

The first wave of artillery shells was very partial, and a considerable part of it fell behind the artillery position where the carriage was used to park. But then, with the help of the aircraft, the German inland gunboats began to correct the data, and then used tons of shells to resemble rice. Gradually cover these artillery positions.

Pillars of smoke rose in the air from the artillery position Numerous shrapnel and flames spread in the position, spreading death wantonly. The air-blast grenade made all soft targets nowhere to hide, and the steel rain falling from the sky easily harvested the panicked Russian lives. Knock them to the ground like cutting wheat.

At the beginning, the Russians still tried to fight back. However, more and more high-explosive bombs killed the Russian army beside the gun positions. When a shell fell on the ammunition piled up somewhere, The Russians' efforts came to nothing. Hundreds of shells put a big dazzle in the center of the Russian army position! The fierce guarantee swept through the small artillery positions like a steel storm.

And just after the long-range support artillery at the rear was destroyed, the rapid-fire artillery unit that was almost on the German forehead in front was also hit hard. The mobile-equipped 75mm truck gun suddenly appeared in a place unexpected by the Russians, and then the speed was 12 per minute. The firing rate easily blasted several exposed artillery positions to pieces. After the loss of artillery support, the remaining German forces repelled the Russian attack once again with the willingness of inland river gunboats and machine gun fire. At this point, the Russian offensive in the northeast direction completely failed, and the freed inland gunboats even had spare capacity to clean up the upstream Russian transport ships!
