Chapter 546: Willing to Gamble and Lose
The battle began before dawn.
The tactics of the Germans were simple, and the 82nd Infantry Regiment had already tried them when it was in the hospital direction...... The infantry pulled out a line of cover, and artillery observers mixed in to direct the artillery and fighters to bombard the building until it collapsed or the German infantry could easily occupy it.
The Germans seemed to be in a hurry, approaching the building before dawn to prepare for battle.
Or rather, the German soldiers did what they used to do, and there were no problems.
But now it's a big problem, because it's the sniper company of the 82nd Infantry Regiment lurking in the building.
This situation has a great advantage for the snipers of the sniper company...... They are in a condescending position in the building, and they have good cover, so they can lie quietly and comfortably in the cover and wait for the target to make a mistake.
A German soldier had a flashlight because he needed some light to find the magazine he had accidentally lost while leaping in, and it must have fallen into some brick crack in the ruins, so much so that he didn't touch it for a long time.
The German soldier was careful, leaning his back on a high place and covering the flashlight with a black cloth before turning it on...... In less than a minute, he was pleased to see that the magazine was mixed with a pile of broken logs.
Without thinking, he pressed the flashlight, and then under the cover of darkness, he found the location of the magazine from memory and grasped it in his hand.
Just as he was stuffing the magazine into his backpack, the gun went off, and the German soldier fell straight to the ground.
Until the last breath, the German soldier did not understand what revealed himself, he was already careful.
It was Vasily who shot.
He borrowed it from Shulka, after all, at this time, the Mamayev Gang had fallen into a stalemate, and the enemy and us each occupied an inclined plane and could not help each other, and it was difficult for snipers to play a role in this situation, so Shulka agreed to come down as soon as Vasily mentioned.
The German submachine gunner was very careful, hiding in the corner of his rifle when he turned on the flashlight, and when he came out, the flashlight was already extinguished, and Vasily did not see what the target was looking for.
But Vasily knew that the enemy was looking for something, and he also knew where it was.
Because the light of the flashlight moves back and forth on the ground, then stops at a point, and soon it goes out.
Obviously, what you're looking for is there.
So, Vasily locked on to this position with his impression...... The target wasn't there at this point, but he was definitely here.
All Vasily had to do was wait a while, then pull the trigger and shoot the bullet out.
"Bang" is another gunshot.
The bullet was fired by Koroteyev, and it killed an artillery observer who was looking at the building with a cannon in the mirror, and the reflection from the mirror's lens revealed his position.
Koroteyev has been secretly fighting with Vasily all along.
This time, Koroteyev knew that the target he knocked out was more valuable.
An artillery observer is much more important to a submachine gunner, apparently an artillery observer.
The problem is that, from a sniper point of view, Koroteyev knew that the target that Vasily killed was much more difficult than his own.
Even, Koroteyev did not understand how Vasily took out that target.
So, in fact, the superior and the inferior have already been separated, which Koroteyev also had to admit.
Then, a series of gunshots rang out in the building, and one German soldier fell in response, so frightened that they cowered in their rubble bunkers and did not dare to lift their heads.
"The period before dawn is our chance!" Shulka said to Sokolov, who was next to him: "The enemy infantry will want to prepare in advance to make the most of the time of daybreak, when their artillery and aircraft are still useless, and this is the time for us to shoot cold!" ”
"There may not be many targets we can kill!" Sokolov was a little weak-hearted, he knew that his troops could not compete with the sniper company.
"It's not about how many enemies you kill, Sokolov!" "It's important to put a kind of psychological pressure on the enemy to let them know that these buildings are not empty," Shulka said! ”
Sokolov couldn't help but let out an "oh".
After a moment of silence, Sokolov asked: "I wonder, how can they get out of the enemy bombardment?" ”
"Then keep watching!" Shulka replied.
It was soon dawning, and the Germans were about to take revenge.
The first was the incessant dive bombing of dozens of planes flying over the building.
"Observe the bombing formations of enemy aircraft!" Shulka raised his head at the German bombers in the sky and said, "If they are determined to blow up a building, they will circle around and dive one after the other towards the same target." Otherwise, they are providing cover for the infantry and artillery, that is, hoping that the infantry will charge and take the building! ”
Sokolov looked into the sky and said: "It's scattered bombing, which means they didn't really intend to blow up the building!" ”
"Yes!" Shulka said: "Do you know what we should do at this time? ”
"We don't rush to retreat!" Sokolov replied: "Be ready to stop the German infantry!" ”
Shulka nodded.
Then, as Shulka had said, the Germans charged under the cover of artillery fire...... They seemed to know that the Soviets would not have too many troops in the forward buildings, so they planned a quick and ammunition-saving way of occupation: direct infantry occupation.
But the attack was quickly thwarted.
The sniper company had been prepared for this for a long time, and the sniper's accurate fire combined with the rain of bullets from the machine guns overwhelmed the German attacking troops, and after a while, they left behind a large number of corpses and retreated.
Immediately afterward, a large number of shells whizzed down on the buildings, while bombers dived and bombed in circles and circles.
Sokolov, knowing that this was the time for the sniper company to retreat, hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the building.
I saw the soldiers of the sniper company glide down the pre-laid rope one by one, and as soon as they turned around, they entered the traffic trench and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Sokolov couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The whole battle is actually very simple, you just have to hold on until the enemy is determined to blow up the building...... Of course, there is no need to stay and be in ruins with those buildings.
"Do you know what to do?" Shulka asked.
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!"
"Now, do you still think it's a mission to die?" Shulka asked again.
"No, Comrade Shulka!" Sokolov replied awkwardly.
"Good!" Shulka patted Sokolov on the shoulder: "Willing to gamble and lose, remember what you said!" ”
