Chapter 603: Cavalry
At the realization of this, the Soviet command had only one way to break through, otherwise they would have been brutally rolled under the tracks of the tanks.
But a breakout is almost no different from suicide...... The Soviets chose the villa for the command in an open space within a few dozen meters, which was good for defense but not conducive to breaking out, and German machine guns and MP43s would seal all exits to death.
The Soviets were not ambiguous, firing a few smoke shots from mortars and then charging out as they fired.
But this is also in vain......
With the sharp whistling of rockets, several rockets exploded with a "boom" at the exit.
The warheads of these rockets are not armor-piercing, but grenades and anti-infantry shells...... This is especially the anti-infantry projectile, which is an imitation of the design of the "S" type jumping mine, after landing on the ground, there will be a reverse throwing device to throw it to a height of two meters and then explode, and then the 800 steel balls contained in the warhead will shoot everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers.
Only screams could be heard in the smoke, and occasionally a few wounded people rushed out of it, and in a few strokes, they were knocked to the ground by the Germans who were lying in ambush on the edge.
"Looks like we don't need to wait for the tanks to come!" Qin Chuan waved his hand, and the troops counterattacked and entered the villa.
Qin Chuan walked into the smoke with a gun and a few soldiers, and several officers on the ground were struggling in a pool of blood.
"Bang bang!" Shots rang out, but instead of firing the Germans, an officer with the rank of major general killed his men one after another.
The German soldiers raised their guns and aimed at him, but were stopped by Qin Chuan.
Because he knew what the Soviet Major General was going to do next, as a soldier, Qin Chuan thought that he should give him this opportunity.
Sure enough, in the next second, the Soviet major general put the muzzle of the gun on his temple, and after hesitating, he pulled the trigger...... A bloody arrow shot out from the other side of his head, and his half-tilted head fell to the ground, and the muscles of his whole body suddenly relaxed from extreme tension and shook on the ground, and then it was all over.
"We should probably catch a shot!" Eberhard said.
"It's useless!" Qin Chuan replied: "He won't say anything!" ”
If a man shoots his own men before he dies to make sure they don't divulge any information, then his determination has reached another level...... The reason is simple: most people only think about themselves before they die, whether they want to survive or whether they have any hope of living.
But that's clearly not what he was thinking.
It's a pity that it doesn't make much sense for him to do this, because the Germans can still get the information they need...... Four Soviet divisions were already surrounded by the Germans, and it is conceivable that the Germans would have taken a considerable number of prisoners, among whom of course there would be high-ranking officers who knew important information.
"Major!" Eberhard reported: "The tank troops have landed!" ”
Qin Chuan nodded and ordered: "Rely on Novorossiysk City to build a defensive line!" ”
"Yes!"
The defensive line was mainly oriented to the west, since there were four Soviet divisions that were besieged there.
The eastern side also needs to be defended.
On the one hand, this is the sequelae of the Soviet army's unsynchronized march, or it can also be said to be the sequelae of backward communication equipment, and many troops are still rushing in the direction of Novorossiysk because they receive information late or have missions abroad.
On the other hand, the command of the Transcaucasian Front also received information that the Germans were interspersed and occupied Novorossiysk, so they would send troops to reinforce them from the east.
In this respect, the strength of the First Infantry Corps is somewhat insufficient...... To the west were the besieged four divisions, and to the east were the scattered Soviet troops and reinforcements of unknown strength, which seemed to be easily crushed by the Soviet army.
The problem was that the Germans occupied the city of Novorossiysk, which had not only civilian houses to use as bunkers, but also an almost inexhaustible supply of equipment and ammunition in the port warehouses.
Needless to say, the cannons were pushed out of the warehouse and scattered in a relatively empty space...... This is also the reason why artillery is more difficult to detect in the city, they are usually covered by buildings, trees, etc., and it is difficult for both the air and the opposing artillery observers to find the target.
Light and heavy machine guns and Bobosha submachine guns were also used by the Germans...... Although the Germans had a better MP43 in their hands, it would be a problem to supply them during interspersed operations, so Soviet-style equipment was always preferred on the premise of capturing Soviet equipment.
The tanks were the tank battalions brought by the First Infantry Corps, and this time they were all "four" tanks, but one of them sank into the sea due to a malfunction when it penetrated from the sea...... The amphibious tank was weak because of this, and the safety was poor, but fortunately, the tank crew was successfully rescued.
These tanks are laid out in the streets, and they are used to block the street entrances.
Before the Germans could get ready, the first Soviet units rushed to Novorossiysk and launched an offensive.
The reason why this group of Soviet troops was so fast was that they were the 63rd Cavalry Division...... They were originally close to Novorossiysk and had the advantage of speed in cavalry, so it was common sense that they could attack first.
It was just to Qin Chuan's surprise that the 63rd Soviet Cavalry Division set up a formation and launched a charge against Novorossiysk, which was garrisoned by the Germans, after making a little preparation...... Charge in the formation of cavalry.
Of course, this Soviet charge was launched behind a cover of artillery fire, although this artillery cover did not cause much casualties and pressure on the German troops hiding in the building.
I have to admit that the scene when the cavalry launched the charge was indeed very spectacular: the hooves of thousands of horses galloping and galloping, and the hooves of thousands of war horses hitting the ground like thunder, coupled with the Soviet cavalry waving sabers and riding spears on horseback and shouting loudly, the battle was like a flood towards Novorossiysk.
At this moment, Qin Chuan seemed to have come to the battlefield during the period of cold weapon warfare, as if he had seen Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger; Bloody wind and rain, the man galloped on the battlefield, and Qin Chuan was a little yearning for a while......
Stop!
Come to think of it, Qin Chuan would not really want to charge at the German positions on a war horse and with a saber like those Soviet soldiers.
The reason is simple, it is one thing to look prestigious, and it is another thing what will be the result of a war.
The German positions corresponding to the Soviet cavalry were machine guns, cannons, and even tanks.
The muzzles and muzzles of the guns were ruthlessly aimed at the cavalry that was rapidly approaching the Germans.
For them, these cavalry are excellent targets, both men and horses.
