Two infantry divisions of the German 17th Army and one of the 8th Panzer Division launched an attack on the city of Heum, officially kicking off the fierce street fighting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Germans tried to destroy the Russian troops entrenched here in one fell swoop in street fighting. Similarly, the Russian army also hoped to use street fighting to defeat the powerful German army. As for whose goal can be achieved in the end, I'm afraid we can only wait for the final outcome of the battle.

The Russian defense line on the edge of the city simply could not withstand the German attack. Tanks lead the infantry, and after launching a round of assault, they can easily crush the Russian army. Of course, the real battle will not start until you enter the city.

Immediately after the Germans entered Chewum, they launched an offensive according to their previous training. In street fighting, large forces gather together to attack, which is obviously unrealistic. Narrow streets will constrain the deployment of troops. Therefore, it is often the case that the troops are divided into small units in company and platoon units and fight in the streets of the city. This kind of combat will be more flexible. Especially after receiving the support of armored troops, they can easily defeat their opponents in urban street battles.

A tank, marching through the streets that have become ruins. The turret of the tank is constantly turning, searching for possible threatening targets. Dozens of German soldiers, following the tank, stood on guard. While they are protected with the help of tanks, they also provide protection for tanks.

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out. A Russian machine gun erected on a ruin began to strafe. Several German soldiers, shot on the spot, fell to the ground. The rest of the soldiers also hurriedly lay on the ground.

At this time, the tank played a great role. The turret rotated, aiming at the machine-gun fire points of the Russian army on the ruins.

"Boom!"

The tank gun opened fire, and a high-explosive shell, in the blink of an eye, hit that point of machine-gun fire of the Russian army, blowing it up. At the same time, the tank's machine guns also began to strafe and suppress other Russian troops on the rubble.

The German soldiers, who were lying on the ground, immediately began to attack under the cover of machine gun fire from tanks. They outflanked the retreat of the Russian army, and after a fierce battle, killed dozens of Russian soldiers stationed here.

Having cleared the immediate area, the Germans began to continue their operations.

It was with this tactic that the Germans gradually cleared the Russian troops entrenched in the city of Cheum. It constantly encroaches on the living space of the Russian army and squeezes their space for activities. When the living space of the Russian army was completely squeezed out, they were eliminated. And Cheum also fell into the hands of the Germans.

Of course, for the Germans, the main purpose of this battle was to destroy the living forces of the Russian army, not to fight for cities. The gains and losses of one city and one pool are not important, the important thing is to solve the more than one million troops of the Russian Southwestern Front. In that case, this battle can be regarded as a victory.

"Boom!" A mortar shell fell into the ranks of German troops who were carefully searching. Several German soldiers were killed in the bombing.

"Hidden!" A platoon leader yelled. The rest of the soldiers immediately looked for a place to hide.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The Russian mortars fired continuously, however, when the Germans were already prepared, they did not inflict any casualties on the Germans.

"Mortars, take out the enemy's artillery!" The platoon commander commanded loudly.

"Platoon commander, the Russians' mortars are deployed around the corner of the street, we can't reach them!" The mortar group replied.

"Bastard! What about snipers? Can you take out the mortars of the Russians? The platoon commander then asked.

"Can't aim at the target!" The sniper replied.

"Damn! Request support from the battalion headquarters, we need a tank! The platoon commander ordered.

"Yes, platoon commander." The correspondent immediately bent on his back, evacuated the street, and rushed to call for help.

However, the platoon commander soon realized that his request for help was completely superfluous.

An F2 fighter jet, flying over this street, found the Russian army's firepower point, and the fighter immediately attacked.

"Da Da Da!"

A barrage of bullets from aviation machine guns strafed and turned the Russian fighters hiding on the street corners on their backs. The bullets of aviation machine guns are extremely powerful, and those who are hit basically have no way to live. The bullets hit the mortars of the Russian army, and they burst out one by one sparks.

"Great! Offensive. "When the German platoon commander saw this, he immediately attacked.

More than a dozen soldiers, under the cover of aircraft fire, rushed over and eliminated all the Russian troops hiding there.

Planes of the 8th Air Force, when the 17th Army attacked Cheum, also arrived to help. However, almost all the bombers went to Zamohich to support the offensive of the 20th Army. Only a part of the fighters came to support the 17th Army. But even so, their support helped the 17th Army greatly when it came to fighting.

Even though Heum has been reduced to ruins by the indiscriminate bombardment of the German army, the Russian army is like a rat, hiding in the rubble and engaging in a fierce battle with the German army. Very often, attacking from the ground, it is not easy to destroy them. However, for the planes in the sky, it is very easy to detect the Russian army and launch an attack.

The tactics of air-ground cooperation with each other do not know how many years ahead of the Russian army, so that the Russian army's plan to try to defend Cheum was completely aborted.

"General, the Germans are attacking fiercely, they have not only tanks, but also planes in the sky. We can't resist their attacks at all! The casualties of the troops were heavy, and the morale fell quickly. "A Russian division commander reported to Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin.

"Damn! Isn't it just street fighting? The Germans even used airplanes and tanks, how can we hold on! Lieutenant General Fyodor yelled angrily.

Lieutenant General Golovin's face was also very ugly. In their opinion, such tactics of the Germans are too bullying. According to such tactics of the German army, the Russian army in Cheum is simply vulnerable. If you want to persist here for half a month, it is even more of a fool's dream. If you don't do it, you won't be able to last even four or five days.

Of course, even so, Lieutenant General Golovin overestimated the Russian army. Under the fierce attack of the German army, in one morning, the German army had already occupied a third of the city of Kaium. At this rate, it will take two days at most to occupy the entire city of Heum. As for the Russian troops stationed here, what kind of result will be in the end, it is naturally conceivable.
