Chapter 824: Night Attack
"General!" Qin Chuan said: "Maybe it would be a better choice for us to choose to attack at night!" ”
After thinking about it, General Stryker nodded and said, "That's right, this 'fire pocket' is completely arranged for our tanks. If we attack with pure infantry instead of tanks, then this tactic of theirs will be useless! ”
"But the General!" General Albridge said: "How can we suppress the fire of the Soviets without tanks...... Their tanks will be devastating to our infantry! ”
"We have ME63, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said.
"ME63 can be launched at night?" General Albridge looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously.
Qin Chuan nodded: "We have received relevant training, we have to cooperate with flares, and the hit rate will be relatively low!" ”
"Then no problem!" General Albridge nodded in agreement.
The time of the attack was again set for three o'clock in the morning.
The reason was that the Germans wanted to freeze the Soviets in the defensive line for a while, especially in the anti-tank gun fortifications, and they had to stay in the fortifications and not come out to move in order to prevent the enemy from discovering their positions.
Then the Germans received an unexpected effect...... They could easily find Soviet anti-tank fortifications in the dark, even though they were camouflaged in the snow.
On the other hand, these anti-tank gunners were also quite conscientious, and almost no one of them crawled out of the fortifications and made any moves.
This is related to the anti-tank needs of the Soviet army...... The German offensive always relied on tanks, and the blitzkrieg initiated by German tanks always exhausted the Soviet army.
In view of this, the Soviet army paid special attention to the training of anti-tank gunners, and they selected fighters with excellent quality and strong fighting will from artillery units to serve as anti-tank gunners.
This is one of the reasons why they have been able to successfully lay "fire pockets" on the front line...... Without a strong psychological quality, ordinary soldiers would not dare to lie in ambush in front of their positions and watch the enemy tanks "rumble" up and remain motionless until they enter the firing range of their own anti-tank guns.
Once again, their qualities were on the battlefield.
These Soviet anti-tank gunners were not afraid of hardships or difficulties, completely put their lives and deaths aside for the last line of defense, and held their posts in the ice and snow without wavering......
The only regret is that they can't live without vodka!
As a result, a wisp of wine wafted from the position from time to time, and the German commandos only needed to follow the smell of wine to find the gun positions of the Soviet anti-tank guns one by one.
This can really only be done at night, because during the day, there is too much smell of gunpowder smoke and blood on the battlefield.
So the situation was much smoother than expected, and after more than an hour, the Soviet anti-tanks distributed in front of the positions were almost cleared one by one.
Then it's time for ME63 to perform.
The reason why the ME63 is also needed is because this tactic of the Soviet tank can make good use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses...... German tanks could penetrate the Soviet T34 at a greater distance, but the T34 could not.
But in closer proximity, they can penetrate each other.
(NOTE: THE 34 OF THE 76.2MM GUN COULD PENETRATE THE VERTICAL ARMOR OF 69 MM IN THIS POSITION, AND THE FRONT ARMOR OF THE "FOUR" F WAS THICKENED TO AN INCLINATION OF 50 MM)
This is also another advantage of the "fire pocket" of the Soviet army...... Frontally, bury the lower part of the tank's turret in the earth to make your own target ***, forcing the enemy tank to engage in melee combat.
In this way, the T34 has at least a chance to fight with the "Four".
But it's not the same with the ME63, which is also difficult to hit, especially in the dark, but the ME63 has the advantage of being able to lurk at a close distance to increase the hit rate.
The German commandos dug up the Soviet anti-tank gun emplacements, and the battle group of the 1st Infantry Regiment carrying ME63 crawled towards the high ground under the open path of the sappers.
This is another benefit of the ME63, which is easy to carry and can be set up discreetly.
Advancing to a similar position, a flare was fired in the direction of the enemy...... The Soviet positions were as bright as daylight.
Until the flare slowly landed on the other side of the high ground, ME63 did not fire...... Observers and shooters need to find the target and be ready for launch.
They had plenty of time to observe, because they wore white trench coats, helmets wore camouflage cloths, various equipment such as binoculars were wrapped in white cloth, and even the marks left by climbing the high ground were carefully wiped away.
The Soviets also responded with flares, and even fired a burst of machine guns and shells indiscriminately.
The Soviets apparently knew that the anti-tank guns they had placed in front of their positions had been blown up one by one...... It was quite a movement, and they were familiar with the location of the explosion.
But the Soviets did not dare to send reinforcements for anti-tank gun emplacements.
Because this will not only expose reinforcements to enemy fire, but also deprive anti-tank gun emplacements of their hidden meaning.
As a result, they could only stare dryly in the trenches and watch as the gun emplacements were touched by the Germans one by one.
Sometimes the Soviets complained: "How did the Germans find them?" We can't even see where they are! ”
No one would think that there was something wrong with vodka, just as a drinker wouldn't notice that he was covered in alcohol...... They are used to the taste, and it is not normal to not have it.
Then, a second flare rose into the air.
Soon it was a third shot.
At this time, there was a sudden "chirp", and a rocket flew out...... In some ways, the ME63 is not suitable for launching at night, because the flames of the rocket and its long trail will reveal the shooter's position in the first place.
However, the German cover personnel had long been prepared for this.
Almost as soon as the rockets were fired, machine guns and STG44s scattered in several nearby positions fired a frenzied shot in the direction of the Soviet troops, and a few mortar shells hit the Soviet positions, crushing the Soviet soldiers in the trenches.
This does overwhelm the enemy, but it also causes a number of negative effects on the ME63's controller, such as gunfire, explosions, and the fire and smoke from the explosion, either affecting the controller's concentration or vision.
Therefore, this also requires the controller to have a good psychological quality in addition to superb skills, especially when he is controlling, he must also stare at the target in the telescope for more than ten seconds, even if there are bullets or shells flying here, he can't dodge, otherwise he will fall short.
Luckily, it didn't happen.
Listening to the explosion of "boom", the ME63 accurately hit the turret of the tank, and the tank immediately emitted a wisp of black smoke.
