Chapter 203: Conquering Homnich

The rest of the Soviet artillery battery, carrying light mortars of only 50 mm caliber, advanced to a distance of only five hundred meters from the town. Towns www.biquge.info far away are still under bombardment, and their addition will give the enemy more heavy fire coverage.

The Soviet infantry attacked with the tanks, and a large number of figures advanced in the light of the explosion.

Not all Germans were stupid by the surprise attack, which was unprecedented in scale, and the battalion commander Gustav realized that something was wrong.

Some German soldiers spotted a large number of armed people attacking, and needless to say, this was certainly the enemy. An instinctive counterattack is carried out immediately!

Two improvised machine-gun bunkers opened fire first, and the Soviets began to suffer casualties.

The German machine guns opened fire at night, and the MG34's powerful rate of fire knocked the green light bullets like lasers, which also exposed their position.

The Soviet soldiers immediately lay down, giving everyone good cover at night, the light was not strong, and it was difficult for the German soldiers to aim at the exact target, but they also saw three strange objects spraying tongues of fire.

"Hell! These enemies also have tanks! Is this the so-called guerrillas?! Obviously it's a regular army! Go and report to the battalion commander! ”

The commander of a German platoon defending the south of the town, grabbed a soldier and ordered him to report the news.

Even with tanks, the German machine guns did not stop. Soon, because the barrel of the gun had been deformed due to excessive strafing, in a hurry, the German soldiers even forgot to change into asbestos gloves. The deputy shooter was burned, and for a while he was in a hurry, and the machine gun suddenly fell silent.

Roshakov, who was in the rear, noticed that the attack was being resisted, and he immediately sent a report to the tank crews.

"I command you to get rid of the enemy's firing points. Fire! ”

All three tanks were equipped with on-board radios, and the tank platoon commander Chekov immediately ordered all tank gunners. "Attention everyone, aim at the enemy's machine gun positions and open fire!"

Three tanks opened fire at the same time, knocking out a point of fire in one fell swoop.

The shell case was thrown, and the shooter loaded another one. The tank compartment was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and the commander had to open the roof to breathe. Because of the dim light, Chekov could not judge the enemy's fire point well when it was blown up, so he ordered his men to fire five shots in a row.

Without hindrance, the infantry quickly got up and continued to advance, striding through the snow. At this moment, some of the German troops came to their senses, and many of them were still wearing simple clothes. Even just put on cotton clothes and began to fight, hastily prepared, coupled with embarrassment, the combat effectiveness of the German army was extremely poor.

More than 100 people were holding back the Soviets in the south of the town, and they faced an enemy force of up to 2,000 troops, and the Germans had an absolute advantage in firepower.

To make matters worse, the Soviets advanced to a sufficient distance for Yang Mingzhi's rockets to reach an effective range.

Each squad has a bazooka player, who pushes the rocket into it, lights the fuse with a match, and waits for about two seconds for the "large monkey" with the power of a grenade to fly out. Its accuracy is mediocre, and if used intensively, it can still deal a catastrophic blow to the German position.

More than 50 rockets flew one after another, and they dragged white smoke and smashed into the enemy's position, and immediately debris flew sideways, killing and wounding many people. In order to pursue lethality, this rocket added some fragments made of waste eggshells, so as to greatly compensate for the lack of explosive power.

The enemy's company of resistance had now collapsed, and half of the soldiers were incapacitated after the rocket attack.

The vanguard of the Soviet army was armed with Bobosha or MP38, and the powerful fire of the submachine guns was completely overwhelming by the Germans.

In fact, because of the long-term use of Bobosha, the rifling of many guns was almost smoothed, and the fighters were almost fighting with "smoothbore guns". The trigger pulled the bullet and flew sideways, but the soldier only had such a weapon, and the old gun had to continue to be used.

Even with the intensive use of such bad old submachine guns, the barrage compensated for the lack of accuracy, and the remaining German troops were completely suppressed by fire.

A platoon of Soviet soldiers was the first to enter the city, and the German defensive line in the southern part of the town had collapsed. The soldiers immediately extended their success, and they had already stormed the streets of the town and began to engage the Germans in street fighting.

"Granada!" A soldier shouted and threw a grenade into the building, and three seconds later a violent explosion sent a scream from inside the room.

Several soldiers took advantage of the chaos to break into the door and shoot a lot, and they knew the cruelty of the street fighting, so the soldiers often tried it with grenades first.

However, several soldiers kicked open the door of a room, and the leader was still holding a flashlight, and when he saw a person in front of him, he immediately opened fire from the submachine gun.

The man fell down suddenly, but on the bed next to him, there was a woman. She was undressed, and her face was terrified, and her whole body was shaking.

"Squad leader! This seems to be what the sniper said, fascist prostitute! I guess we're going to have to get rid of him, too! A young soldier said.

"Not necessarily! Andrey, you don't have to be so aggressive, I'm afraid this woman was coerced. ”

But not all civilians can be as lucky as this woman. Yang Mingzhi taught his subordinates how to deal with street fighting, and the method was simple: door-to-door searches, often using grenades to clear the way to ensure safety. As a result, many of the civilians who stayed behind were simply killed, and of course many German soldiers were killed.

The battalion commander, Gustav, hurriedly got dressed, he was giving orders with a pistol in his hand. "All of you must not panic, go and fight for me!" He shot at the sky, and the warrior in front of him was still dodging the bombs coming from the sky.

A shrill whistling echoed in the air, and Gustav frowned at the dark night sky.

"Danger!" A soldier lunged at him, saving his life, as the bomb exploded not far from him.

Gustav coughed twice, his ears buzzing, and when he struggled to get up, he realized that the soldier he had just protected himself had been killed.

At this moment, the arrogance and order of the army are absent, and there are gunshots everywhere not far away, as well as the sound of ula, and it is clear that the enemy has attacked.

"Damn it! Those who are still alive, retreat with me! The whole army retreats! ”

Fleeing for his life was already the most important thing, and Gustav did not know how many troops the enemy had, and just as he was about to retreat, the messenger staggered and knelt in front of him.

"What's the matter with you! Retreat now! Get up now, or you'll die. At this, Gustav saw that the man's cotton coat had been stained red with blood, and he was still trying to speak and vomit blood as he spoke.

"Report...... Report to the battalion commander, the Soviet troops attacked, they had at least a regiment of troops, and also had tanks...... "The soldier did not say any more, he was already dead.

Gustav's mind buzzed, these partisans actually have tanks, what is this not a regular army ?! This is the most important piece of information, in the swamps of the south, they are not partisans at all, they are regular troops, sores planted by the Soviet military in the occupied territories!

Escape! This belief drove Gustav to retreat, along with more than 200 others. As for the rest, they are either dead or captured.

Roshakov marched with the army, and he successfully entered the city.

At six o'clock in the morning, all the resistance of the German drama was declared. The last German platoon decided to lay down their arms and surrender, throwing their helmets, belts and guns out of the houses and walking out of their houses with their heads in their hands.

The Soviet soldiers waited outside, their rifles glowing coldly, and the morning had arrived, and they could see the faces of the invaders.

The captives and all civilians found alive were gathered in the town square, and the battle was declared over. (To be continued.) )
