745 Kaluga offensive and defensive battles
Finally, it was the Soviet armored forces that retreated first, because the German artillerymen began to roar at this time.
The self-propelled guns finally caught up with the advance troops, and a round of fire was fired, which knocked down the offensive arrogance of the Soviet tanks.
Around the wreckage of the Soviet tank in the distance, the flames of the explosion rose one by one, and some even fell directly on the wreckage of the tank, lifting the destroyed tank into the air.
It can be seen how dense the destroyed Soviet tanks were, and how tragic the previous battles here were.
Wittman's tank battalion retreated anyway, as they had largely lost the ability to fight.
Many of the tanks ran out of ammunition and could no longer take on the task of continuing the attack. And beside them, the Leopard tanks, which belonged to the 1st Panzer Division, were continuing to rush forward.
The street battles in Kaluga have already begun, and every inch of Moscow is fiercely contested.
Carrying bombs, the Stuka bomber swooped down from the sky and blew up a multi-person bunker with precision.
The explosion left a huge crater on the ground, and the surrounding positions were deformed by the explosion.
"Cover the soldiers in front of you! Fire! On the German position, an infantry captain waved his arm and pointed at the Soviet position that was firing not far away.
There was a light machine gun firing there, suppressing the attacking German units. Bullets flew across the battlefield, and there was the sound of firing everywhere.
"Suddenly! Dodo! The German MG42 machine gun made its distinctive sound, and the bullets rained down on Soviet positions.
A fine cloud of white smoke rose from there, and the light machine gun on the other side was silent.
On the counter-slope on the side, the mortars that the Germans had already set up began a new round of bombardment. As a round of support shells fell, a German army suddenly stood up on the position where there seemed to be no one.
The charge began again, and the German infantrymen, who had just been suppressed by the machine guns, took their weapons and bent over and began to move forward, little by little, approaching the Soviet trenches.
The Soviet soldiers, of course, did not sit idly by, they poked their heads out and fired desperately with their rifles, knocking down the German soldiers who came up in front of the position.
However, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the German machine gun suppression fire is becoming more and more accurate.
"Phew!" A gunshot, which was not sharp on the battlefield, drifted leisurely, and a Soviet gunner fell on his back into his position.
His forehead was pierced by a bullet, and his eyes were wide open. The Soviet soldiers beside him suddenly retracted their heads, for fear of being hit by bullets flying from the opposite side again.
When the Soviet soldier reloaded his bullets, he found that several of his comrades-in-arms around him had been shot in the head and fell in the trench.
"There are snipers! The Germans have snipers! He held his Mosin Nagant rifle and reminded his companions loudly.
Unfortunately, his reminder was of little use, as the Germans on the front had approached a position that could threaten the Soviet positions.
"Grenades!" There was a loud shout in the distance, and then there was a violent explosion at the other end of the trench.
Artillery shells are unlikely to land directly in the trenches, so this explosion in the trenches is most likely caused by mortars or grenades.
By this time, most of the enemy was already very close, so when the brave Soviet troops poked their heads out of their trenches again, they saw the muzzles of the German stormtroopers.
"Suddenly! Dodo! "Lying on the edge of the trench, the German submachine gunners began to strafe the inside of the trench.
Bullets rained down from the heads of the Soviet troops, and the entire line of defense was shaken.
Soviet soldiers were planted at the bottom of the trenches, and the Germans had already jumped into the trenches, and it was unrealistic to fight bayonets, because the Germans had too many automatic weapons.
The German army, which has been transformed for almost a year, is no longer the German army unit with the Mauser 98K rifle as the mainstream in real historical time and space.
In the current German army, there are only half of the Mauser 98K rifles, and the remaining half are STG-44 assault rifles, G43 rifles and MP-40 submachine guns.
In a short time, the Soviets were not able to surpass the German infantry in such a configuration, so they were at an absolute disadvantage in the battle of close fire suppression.
Picking up their weapons, the Soviet soldiers turned their backs and prepared to shoot the Germans who had stormed the trenches, but the Germans, who had already jumped into the trenches on the side, fired a shot and knocked the unlucky guy to the ground.
"Long live the Führer!" Raising their rifles, the German soldiers were already cheering that they had captured another enemy position.
And near the nodes of the position, the Germans had advanced along the trenches to the flank of a bunker.
The Soviets inside were still holding back, firing at the Germans in front of them while leaning against the door of the trenches.
The attacking Germans were not polite, they threw their grenades directly into the door of the bunker, and then waited for the loud bang.
Then the sound of Soviet soldiers shouting grenades was heard, followed by a loud bang, and the smoke and dust from the shock wave and the flames of the explosion poured out of the guns and doors of the bunker.
Despite the wind of the shock wave, the German soldiers had already rushed into the bunker with their weapons.
Inside, the Soviet soldiers staggered, and some of them shouted with weapons on their faces covered in blood. The German soldiers pulled the trigger, and gunfire erupted in the bunker.
By the time everything stopped, there were no more Soviet soldiers alive. The trenches were littered with corpses, as well as German troops cleaning up the battlefield.
Sappers are using explosives to open the way and blow up the anti-tank trench so that the tanks and assault guns behind can pass smoothly.
The detonator detonated the sapper's explosives, and the loud sound destroyed the world, and a lot of earth was blown into the sky, falling and smashing on the German M35 steel helmet, crackling and crackling.
"Keep attacking!" Before he could light a cigarette, the order for a new attack was heard.
Everyone began to organize their ammunition, and not far ahead, the city of Kaluga, the gateway to the Soviet Union, was located.
"Take Kaluga! Take a hot bath in the city at night! An officer shouted loudly. His soldiers followed Ying He and said, "Hooray! ”
Holding their weapons, the German soldiers began to crawl out of the trenches, and beside them, an assault gun No. 3 had already crossed the annoying anti-tank trench, rolled its tracks, and followed the infantry forward.
