The Soviet soldiers did not lack courage, but not many of them had the courage to stand up and test the accuracy of the opponent's marksmanship after hearing the sniper's gunfire.

The Soviet soldiers could only lie on their stomachs, hoping to get out of this very dangerous area as soon as possible. It's not just the snipers here who are putting pressure on them, in fact they're worried about other issues.

For example, this German unit is equipped with a large number of mortars, but it is only a few qualified means of communication.

To be honest, Germany's current front-line troops have not yet developed a battlefield walkie-talkie similar to Motorola, otherwise the Soviet Union will fall into an even greater disadvantage in street fighting.

Because there was no good communications equipment, the Soviet troops were able to survive until now. However, because of its skillful cooperation, Germany has its own relatively clear method of transmitting signals: shouting and waving flags......

Don't question this most primitive method of communication, in fact, it was a more reasonable and faster means of battlefield coordination before the development of radios and walkie-talkies.

In the days of the Weimar Republic, in the era of Sickert rule, Germany frequently practiced this method of communication during exercises.

In actual combat, although this means is not as tall as walkie-talkies, it can be regarded as an effective means of compensation.

Germany is now relying on companies such as Siemens to develop more advanced communications equipment, which will raise the soft power of the German army to the same level as the US military.

Don't underestimate Motorola's small invention, relying on the communication advantages of walkie-talkies, the U.S. military's infantry artillery coordination is much closer than that of all armies in the same period.

In other words, what makes the already powerful steel torrent of the United States even more powerful is the humble walkie-talkie produced by Motorola used by the front-line troops of the United States.

This is also the reason why Li Le has always been very concerned about the research and development of communications, and is willing to invest a lot of energy.

This time, the German army also has a large number of heavy artillery and other heavy weapons and equipment, and in this case, improving communication capabilities is bound to improve the overall combat strength.

The good news is that there are already experimental models, and it is possible that by the time of the Battle of Moscow, the Germans would have their own individual communication devices.

It's a pity that the Germans didn't have such tools at this time, so their methods were still not fundamentally different from the Sickert era.

The soldiers transporting the munitions, carrying Mauser 98K rifles, immediately began to run farther behind them.

Then, after crossing a row of streets, facing a mortar position not far away, shouting: "Russians! In the 4th position in the front left! Flank! Flank! About 200 meters! ”

The Germans, who were loading the mortars, stretched out their right hand and gave a thumbs up, indicating that they had heard.

The poor infantryman, who was in charge of carrying the ammunition, had to turn around and run in the direction of Chris, who was going to guard the ammunition and support his companions.

The battle was still going on in the distance, and the other side tried to find out where Chris was, but never found the German sniper hiding in the shadows.

Finally, another Soviet soldier stood up, but the damn sniper's gunfire didn't ring out.

At the moment when everyone relaxed, another crisp gunshot rang out, shattering everyone's dreams.

“！” The sound of Mauser 98k gunfire echoed in the air, and the Soviet soldier who was the first to stand up shook for a moment, and then fell headlong.

The remaining Soviet soldiers had no choice but to lie down again, but they had already heard the direction of the gunfire and probably found Chris's location.

"He's over there! Fire! Chris heard the Soviets shouting and knew that his worst was coming.

Sure enough, it only took a moment for the other party's dense firepower to extend. The bullet crackled as it landed on the rubble above Chris's head.

The white ash on the wall was peeled off by bullets and smashed against the M35 steel helmet with the camouflage helmet covered, making a loud noise.

It was as if someone was banging on the steel helmet, which made Chris very uncomfortable. Although the opponent's shooting is very blind, the density is really not small.

Don't underestimate those single-shot Mosin Nagant rifles, when a dozen rifles fire together, they are still very suppressive.

Chris could only wait helplessly, waiting for the other party's round of dense firepower to suppress it. He was still attached to his Mauser sniper rifle, patiently waiting for the gunfire to stop.

Sure enough, because of the lack of sustained firepower, there was a brief pause in the dense gunfire.

He looked through the scope at the moving Soviet soldiers in the distance, and then calmly pulled the trigger again.

“！” The annoying, desperate gunfire rang out again, and the flying bullets pierced the body of a Soviet soldier.

The rest of the Soviet soldiers lay down again in irritation, waiting for the German snipers to show mercy and let them out of their place.

They have now been exposed, and in the case of the total superiority of the German army, revealing their position makes no difference with death.

As they could only curl up helplessly, testing the German sniper, a shell fell from the sky.

"Boom!" The German mortar shells finally fell, exploded at the position of the Soviet troops, and a cloud of black smoke was kicked up.

The Soviets could no longer hold their breath and began to get up from the ground and retreat. It's just that they got up just in time for the second round of shells to fall, and several people were overturned at once.

The remaining Soviet soldiers began to retreat desperately, crying out, behind the ruins where Chris had first spotted them.

The German mortar shells were still falling, one after the other, ten in one breath before they gradually stopped.

Shouldering his weapon, Chris helped his comrades pick up two boxes of machine-gun ammunition and began to shift his defensive position.

Covering their comrades, they were already in position, and not far ahead, the German infantry was cleaning up the battlefield.

There lay the corpses of at least fifteen Soviet soldiers, a feat just achieved by Chris and mortar shells.

Chris looked at a half-collapsed second floor in the distance and began to walk that way, his comrades were loaded with ammunition and walked behind him like a small henchman.

The Germans advanced another block, so their line also advanced some distance. Chris also has to defend the flanks of his squad and provide protection for his comrades.

On May 1, the fighting in Smolensk continued, and it seemed that there was no intention of stopping.
