The Soviets were silent for a while, after all, they received information that the assassination team had been wiped out and that they had not been given any information on the success of the mission.

The final report received by Matevich was: "We have rushed to the target, I have seen several comrades shooting at the target position, and it is not possible to determine whether the target has been successfully killed......"

Communication was then interrupted by the sound of gunfire and screams.

Matevich and Pukaev could only wait patiently in the command headquarters, waiting for Holm's intelligence officers to send them follow-up information.

A few hours later, they finally got the exciting news, and a communications soldier reported: "They say that the 'legendary sergeant' is at least seriously wounded, because the Germans have begun to take revenge on the people in anger!" ”

Cheers rang out in the command headquarters, and several officers couldn't help but shake hands and congratulate each other.

Petronolev smiled and said: "The British are stupid, aren't they? They knew that this 'legendary sergeant' was the core figure of the Germans, and that he had changed the tide of the war again and again, but they didn't know how to use it! ”

"You may have forgotten something, Comrade Petronorev!" Matevich Says:

"The British are gentlemanly, so they don't use this method!"

"Oh, great gentlemanly demeanor!" Petronorev rolled his eyes, and the people in the command let out a burst of laughter.

Of course, what they say is not true, if the war can be won, the British "unscrupulous" compared to the Soviets, for example, the British army once assassinated Rommel. It's just that the Soviets didn't know about it.

"What should we do now, Comrade Pukaev?" Matevich asked Pukaev.

Pukaev thought for a moment and replied: "Wait! ”

At this time, Pukaev did not believe this information very much, and he was not convinced of it until the intelligence sent back by several spies proved it.

Needless to say, the morale of the Soviet army was greatly boosted, and an overwhelming offensive was launched against Holm that night, and the sea of people seemed to be endless.

Of course, this was a good thing for the German army, because the terrain and geographical advantages of Holm made this kind of strong attack the least fearful for the German army.

In order to better cope with the Soviet army's tactics of crowding, the command of the German Central Army also brought a new equipment to Holm with gliders...... Type 40 explosive projector.

The explosive projector was a rare weapon, as only 158 were produced during the entire Third Reich. It was generally used by the vanguard of the German army to break down barriers or attack enemy strongholds.

Holm got eight of them.

QIN CHUAN ALSO SAW THIS THING: THE BIPOD PLUS A BASE, THE SIZE AND SHAPE WERE SIMILAR TO THE 81MM MORTAR, EXCEPT THAT IT DID NOT HAVE A BARREL AND WAS REPLACED BY A SHELL CASING MUCH SMALLER THAN THE BARREL.

To put it simply, a mortar is fired by putting a shell into the barrel of a gun, and an explosive projector is directly mounted on something like a grenade launcher and fired out.

Compared with mortars, it is simpler, lighter and much more powerful: the 81 mortar is limited by the size of the barrel, the shell charge is only 500 grams of TNT explosive, while the high-explosive shell of the explosive projector can hold 6.8 kg of explosive because there is no barrel limit, and the charge is nearly 14 times that of the 81MM mortar shell...... It's almost like throwing a bag of explosives out.

Another advantage is that the rate of fire is quite good, a skilled gun crew can fire 8 shells a minute.

One can imagine what kind of thinking it would be if eight 6.8-kilogram explosive packets could be thrown head-on in one minute on the battlefield...... It almost blew the front into ruins.

So this guy played a big role on the battlefield as soon as he came up, laying a gate a few hundred meters apart, and when the Soviet troops came up like a tide, they bombed it indiscriminately, and they immediately blew it up.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn't see this scene, because Qin Chuan was ordered to hide in the cellar and not go out...... If the Soviet people see this, they will be exposed.

The soldiers who returned from the battlefield talked about the equipment with great enthusiasm.

"Did you see the Soviets being blown down in pieces?" "It's hard to imagine, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a howitzer shell," Werner said. ”

"It's it, Werner!" "YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE CHARGE OF A 155MM CALIBER HOWITZER IS ONLY 6.9 KILOGRAMS, AND THIS EXPLOSIVE PROJECTOR CAN HAVE A CHARGE OF 6.8 KG," Dominic said. ”

"Why don't we produce more of this?" The baker asked in confusion.

"Who knows?" Dominic replied.

Qin Chuan knew that in fact, this explosive projector had two fatal shortcomings: short range and poor accuracy.

This is especially true of the range, which is only 720 meters.

Therefore, it can only be used if there is such a noticeable difference in elevation as in the Lovati line of Holm, and in other cases any small-caliber mortar can suppress it and then a charge will be taken.

Another inaccuracy was intolerable to the Germans, which was determined by its lack of barrels, which made it destined to bomb the front line indiscriminately.

These are the reasons why it was finally abandoned by the Germans and only 158 doors were produced.

However, it also shows that the Germans are already looking for a solution, hoping to use a simple, cheap equipment to deal with the Soviets' almost impossible tactics of crowds.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but shake his head.

The Germans did find a way to produce the world's first assault rifle, the StG44...... This rifle is also the ancestor of the Soviet AK47 assault rifle.

Although the Soviet Union never recognized this, the AK47 is clearly very similar to the StG44 in terms of appearance and design concept.

Obviously, this direction of development is the right one, if everyone has an assault rifle with a capacity of dozens of rounds in their hands, and the range can reach about 400 meters, then it can almost be said that as many people as they rush up will become the soul of their guns.

And this bomb thrower...... It has only one fate, being eliminated.

It's a pity that this assault rifle appeared too late, and the test gun was only produced at the end of 43 years until the defeat of Germany, and only 400,000 units were produced, so in the end it failed to change the fate of the defeat of the German army.

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned...... Why didn't you let this assault rifle appear in advance?

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan immediately ordered the communicator: "Take over the command, I want to talk to the colonel!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"
