Chapter 445: Attack (2)
The five field guns opened fire in turn, and on average, one shell landed on the enemy position in twelve seconds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The density of such firepower was already very large, and Wolf himself had to lie down in the trenches and resign himself to his fate, just like ordinary soldiers. The shell is not long-sighted, he knows that the enemy is about to attack when the artillery is ready, but when is this artillery fire a leader?!
"This group of Russians has always relied on artillery to fight, and then the infantry bayonet charges. But how could they deploy the artillery in a short period of time and hit me accurately? Wolf was puzzled by the fact that in his military education, Russian artillery mobility had always been very poor.
Their artillery was very powerful, but it took a lot of time to set up their positions. In addition, it is necessary to go through careful mathematical calculations and test the gun many times before the target can be determined.
But the 284th Division's artillery was accurate, in addition to Doronin being an old gunner, but also in Balzen's front-line observation. The front line observed, and immediately guided the artillery to correct the elements. Inspired by the "coordinate warning" established by Yang Mingzhi a few months earlier, Doronin also immediately demarcated the coordinates around his artillery position, resulting in a very rapid correction of the angle.
The shelling will take place for half an hour, and each gun will fire thirty shells. This kind of luxurious firepower Doronin hadn't enjoyed it for a long time, but he also knew that such a frequent rate of fire would hurt the barrel a lot, and the worst thing was that the ammunition would run out. He had to worry: "The deputy division commander's hand is really big, and this artillery preparation is really a squander of ammunition!" These cannons will still be used in the future! ”
Taking advantage of the loud noise of the artillery fire, Yevlov knew that he had to take advantage of the sound of the gun, which could perfectly drown out the chirping of the tank tracks.
"Let's take a battle formation, just like you train on a regular day! Female soldiers are not allowed to be cowardly, we are about to storm! Yevlov commanded the troops with his pistol in hand, and he could see that some of the women were visibly frightened at the sight of the huge smoke rising in the distance. Yes, these female soldiers participated in the war for the first time, and they fought the most tragic battle for the first time, and their mood can be imagined.
Of the four battalions of the main attack, three battalions were in an inverted triangle formation, and then to the grassroots companies, they were inverted triangles. The last battalion remained in the forest as a tactical reserve, and the recoilless gun team carried their weapons and ammunition to the edge of the forest.
The natural environment of Belarus is very similar to the mountains and forests of the Far East, and Yevlov has already stood at the edge of the forest, and not far away is the German position that is being shelled! The blast blew across the land, and the warriors arrived in battle to witness these astonishing scenes.
Yevlov looked at his watch, and the minutes ticked by.
"In the face of such shelling, your defenses should be breached! Maybe this time I won't have to lose many people to win. Yevlov continued to wait and see, and his inner self-confidence grew.
Chekov's tanks were moving to their positions, and they were the heart of the assault.
Chekov himself, as the commander, showed half of his body on the turret, holding binoculars and staring at the dynamics of the enemy position. "They hide very well, and this kind of shelling doesn't necessarily hurt them hard." After talking to himself, he immediately ordered the crew of this one: "Everyone be careful, the enemy is also equipped with RPGs, if you are hit by this thing, it will be over." ”
The armor of the BT tank was too thin, and it could not be used in battle by the standards of later generations, and could only be used as a tractor.
Half an hour is not long, and it is not short. For the German soldiers in adversity, this half hour was simply a nightmare!
The shelling stopped abruptly, and people began to get up from the mounds.
Wolf's head was so drowsy that the guards stripped the dirt off his body, and he dug out his hat in the dirt and put it on his head.
"Now that the enemy's artillery fire is ready to end, they will definitely ......" Before the order was finished, he heard the sound of artillery fire again.
The recoilless gun group on the edge of the forest opened fire at the same time, and suddenly clouds of gunpowder smoke formed, and the shells smashed into the German positions. The Germans, like cicadas in seventeen years, crawled out of the dirt and were hit head-on, facing the equivalent of a flat-fire cannon in the direction of due south of their position.
Just 500 meters away, there was a lot of smoke coming out of the forest, and they were like smoke bombs.
The time had come, and Yevlov stood up, holding his pistol aloft, standing like a statue.
"Davarishi! Ulla! ”
Suddenly, the voices of Ulla came and went. The Germans, who had been tossed by the artillery fire, were still in shock and now had to throw themselves into the blockade.
A large number of Soviet soldiers were running wildly with the guns they had been stabbed last time, and a shocking three tanks came out. This situation was completely beyond Wolf's expectations, "The Russians still have tanks?!" ”
Chekov's three tanks were in the middle of the attack wave, with submachine gunners on the left and right. On top of the turret, there is also a machine gunner, plus the tank's own machine gun, and this automatic fire alone forms a powerful network of firepower.
However, the Germans were very resolute in their resistance, and many of them were killed, and the other soldiers immediately pushed away the corpses and continued to block with machine guns.
Many of the soldiers were hit as a result, and the follow-up soldiers had no time to care about the dead and wounded, and the Ulla charge continued.
"Artillery! Keep bombing me! Yevlov, who remained in the forest, continued to order various recoilless gun groups.
The members of the group had to ask: "Comrade division commander, the elevation angle of our artillery fire is very small, so that we can hit the enemy." Are our soldiers going to keep an eye on our artillery fire? ”
"That's right! We can't give the enemy a respite! ”
Yevlov was ruthless at the moment, and he knew that if he hesitated now, more people would pay with their lives for this hesitation.
Wolf was surprised to see that smoke was still coming from the forest, and an explosion occurred a second later. The defensive line due north came under heavy artillery fire, and an infantry battalion suffered heavy losses.
"Damn! Second battalion! Three battalions! Give me a battalion of support! Wolf immediately ordered, and the Germans began to move, holding back Yevlov's onslaught with all their might.
The German RPG men began to fire missiles, and Chekov couldn't help but feel sorry for these weapons.
"Damn! My armor is too thin! If you get hit by this thing, you'll die instantly! "Knowing that the advance is in great danger and must continue, Chekov is worth taking the plunge, because there is an infantry platoon lined up behind the tank! He can only pray that the enemy's RPG misses.
Yevlov was also very nervous at this time, and suddenly a BT tank exploded and caught fire! It simply did not cause a martyrdom, and avoided the annihilation of a platoon in the back.
"Damn! Hit! ”
Yevlov gritted his teeth, and even after experiencing shelling, their fire was very strong. A total of three tanks were blown up by an RPG, and if the enemy hit it accurately, the tank troops would soon be wiped out! (To be continued.) )
