"Da Da Da ......" a heavy machine gun rang out.

What is surprising is that it was not the Germans who fired first, but the Soviets, the Soviet troops on the amphibious landing ship.

They didn't really see the target at all, and they didn't even know where the German lines were.

During the pre-war training, Shulka told them: "Don't save ammunition, especially heavy machine gun ammunition, because it is basically useless after the amphibious landing vehicle, and the saved ammunition can only be thrown on the beach to feed the fish!" ”

The soldiers laughed.

They hadn't really noticed this before, but now they were reminded by Shulka that it was true...... When the amphibious landing ship is on the surface, the machine gun in the bow may be able to maintain its balance and barely aim at the target.

The word "reluctantly" here is because the bow of the amphibious landing ship will shake violently when it is moving, so the machine-gun bullets are actually flying everywhere without much accuracy.

The situation will be even worse when the amphibious landing ship rushes ashore, since the amphibious landing vehicle cannot control the direction, so it is not even possible to ensure that the muzzle of the gun is aimed at the enemy.

"So!" Shulka said: "This machine gun only serves the role of suppressing fire, you should run out of bullets before landing!" ”

The soldiers of the Naval Infantry Brigade did exactly that, and they began to shoot at the beach a kilometer away, even though it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Dense bullets "whizzed" over the heads of the German soldiers, and at that moment it could almost be said that the German soldiers were frightened...... This also has the psychological shock caused by the previous naval artillery bombardment.

So the Germans shrank their heads into the trenches one after another, not daring to probe.

Major Webb knew what was going on, and he commanded loudly: "Raise your weapons, bastards, they are just bluffing!" ”

As soon as the German soldiers were ready, Major Weber shouted: "Listen to my orders and fire!" ”

Suddenly, shells and bullets were pouring down on the Russian landing ship on the sea.

The bullets made a series of splashes on the surface of the sea, making a series of crisp sounds when they hit the hull, but they didn't do much damage because the bow was equipped with shields and additional armor.

This even gave the Soviet machine gunners a target, as the muzzle sparks were clearly visible in the dark, so they immediately adjusted their shooting direction and responded with bullets.

The explosion of mortar shells on the surface of the sea set off columns of water, but the amphibious landing ships were difficult to hit because of their speed and low hull.

Occasionally, one or two shells hit the amphibious landing ship directly, and a ball of flames would explode, and the dozen or so fighters in the ship would be immediately thrown into the air and fall back into the water...... They have little chance of surviving at these temperatures.

However, most of the amphibious landing ships escaped artillery fire, after all, the defending Germans only had one reinforced battalion, and they only belonged to a mortar battery and the few shore defense guns left after being bombed by the Soviet air force, which was simply not enough to stop the Soviet landing.

Major Weber, of course, did not hope that he would be able to destroy them at sea.

In fact, the most dangerous thing for the attacking side was the moment of transition from the sea to the shore, especially in the Soviet winter.

Major Webb knew this, so he held his binoculars and quietly watched the enemy charging under the flares, waiting for this moment.

Major Webb believed he could hold off these enemies, at least this wave of attacks.

Because he knew the sandy beach in front of him, there were at least a hundred meters of shallows between the sea and the shore, and the depth of this shallow was only a little more than a meter...... It actually progressively deepens from the coast to the deep sea.

Major Weber believed that the shoal would be the most difficult obstacle for the Russians to overcome, as the ships would soon run aground, and the Russian soldiers would have to jump into the icy waters, treading thigh-high waters and charging ashore.

This is not only a problem of low temperature and cold, but also a problem of slow movement in wading through water.

The Germans could then take advantage of this time to shoot at them, and with German firepower and marksmanship, Major Weber believed that the charging Russian soldiers would be killed before they froze to death.

Even if some of them could get to the beach, mines and barbed wire would await them.

But soon Major Webb discovered that the truth was not what he had imagined.

Because the speed of the enemy's landing craft did not slow down at all, not only did not slow down, but also accelerated and rushed forward.

Then Major Webber was even more surprised, as he discovered that several landing craft that had entered the shallows and were supposed to run aground were still moving forward under the light of flares.

"What's going on?" Major Webb put away his binoculars and watched it all in disbelief.

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence, maybe there was something special and deep water that allowed the landing craft to move on, but the landing craft that kept entering the shallows and were all moving normally soon made him realize that this was not the case.

Then, the landing craft got closer and closer to the stunned gaze of Major Weber and the Germans...... The shallows were like they didn't exist.

Then the Germans knew what was going on, because by this time several amphibious landing ships had already "escaped" out of the water, and the wheels under the hull were visible in the light of flares.

"God!" Major Webber couldn't help but exclaim: "Wheels, they actually put wheels on the landing craft!" ”

In the next second, Major Webber ordered: "Stop them, don't let them come up!" ”

But it was already too late......

The German arrangement on the beach could not effectively stop the Soviet charge.

If, as Weber envisioned, Soviet soldiers had to wade through water, then mines and barbed wire would certainly work very well.

Now the Soviet troops drove the amphibious landing vehicle directly ashore, and they rushed ashore at a fairly fast speed.

Although there are many tragedies of overturning...... There are many reasons for a rollover, such as running over a mine, tripping over barbed wire, or driving into a crater and losing your balance.

But even so, a considerable number of Soviet soldiers were quickly transported ashore.

At this time, they were only more than two hundred meters away from the Germans...... There is nothing to say, of course, to launch a charge.

The combat qualities of the naval infantry brigades are indeed not comparable to the Soviet Army, they do not blindly charge at the enemy's positions, but use grenades to open the way, use mortars and machine guns to suppress enemy fire, and even snipers lie in the dark to aim at the enemy.

Among them, there is also a battalion of SVT semi-automatic rifles commonly used by naval infantry brigades, which makes the firepower of the Soviet army much greater than that of ordinary troops, coupled with the superiority of the Soviet army, so it can easily suppress the German army.

Then, the charge becomes simple.
