Chapter 1124: Crossfire
There are actually troops of the Soviets in front! This made the paratroopers stunned for a moment, in the last two days of fighting, the Soviets have been beaten dizzy, and it is very easy for German paratroopers to control every bridge, but who knows that they have encountered an accident here.
But it doesn't matter, as proud German paratroopers, they are not afraid of anything, and the more difficult the task, the more they can show their abilities.
Just when the first paratrooper was hit, the other paratroopers behind had already reacted at the first time, they turned off the accelerator, put the motorcycle aside, and then quickly looked for cover.
This small parachute motorcycle, in order to reduce weight, does not even have outriggers, so when it is time to let go, it is directly lying flat.
Gade lay on the ground, looking at the machine-gun fire point in front of him.
The opposing shooter takes advantage of a dirt slope, and if they return fire with their assault rifle, they may consume a lot of bullets to finish them off.
It is not cost-effective at this time, after all, the number of bullets carried by the paratroopers is limited.
One of the shortcomings of the paratroopers is that they have to constantly count the number of bullets they have, and running out of ammunition is definitely the most terrible for paratroopers.
To deal with such a machine gun position, of course, there is no need to use assault rifles, and there is a specialization in the art industry.
Gad took off the trailer on the back of his motorcycle, and quickly opened the parachute, revealing the aluminum alloy cartridge on it, as the fire support personnel in the paratrooper squad, Gade belonged to the gunner.
The LG40 recoilless gun is the favorite of paratroopers. When it is most needed, it can even be fired directly with the barrel, and in the equipment of paratroopers, this small individual cannon is also a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications.
It is very light, the total weight of the entire cannon is more than 100 kilograms, and when there is such a parachute motorcycle, it is even more convenient to hang it on the back of the small motorcycle and maneuver with the paratroopers.
When needed, this recoilless cannon will let the other party know what is terrible!
Gade quickly adjusted the angle of fire, and before he even had time to plug his earbuds into his ears, he fired!
"Boom!" A loud roar rang in Gad's ears, and for a moment, he couldn't hear anything clearly.
The principle of recoilless guns is that while the shells are flying forward, some gas is discharged backwards to offset the recoil, which can greatly reduce the weight of the gun body, but the movement is greater.
In the night, it spewed out flames backwards, flying out more than fifty meters, almost like a flamethrower.
When this kind of cannon fires, it is quite dangerous in the tail smoke area behind it, and at the same time, these tail smoke kicks up a lot of dust, and the entire gun position has almost nothing to speak of, if the opponent's firepower is more powerful, then the gun position will be the focus of the opponent's attack later.
Now, Gad can't do that much.
In the sound of the gun, the 75 mm grenade flew towards the machine gun position opposite, this kind of gun has a low muzzle velocity, the trajectory is curved, and if you want to hit the target, you must have the most experienced gunner.
Gad was such a gunner, and his shells, flying precisely at that machine-gun position.
"Boom!"
The 75-millimeter grenade exploded about three meters from Korolev's side, and countless fragments flew in all directions, and Korolev felt his back numb in an instant.
Blood flowed from his body, staining the ground around him blood-red, and his machine gun was blown away as the air currents from the explosion were blown away, and with great force he crawled forward, centimeter by centimeter, trying to grab his machine gun again.
His fingers, when he was still a few centimeters away from the machine gun, he no longer had any strength, and he fell into the endless darkness.
The Heavy is dead!
"Quick, go up, we can't let the Germans break through our defenses!" Badakhov shouted loudly that his machine gunners had been killed, and that the Germans would surely rush in droves.
The situation is very critical, if the Germans control the bridge here, then the German tanks can easily drive over, and their own tank troops, have not yet replenished the fuel, if they encounter the German tanks, the consequences are quite terrible.
The bridge here must be blown up!
Several agile soldiers had already climbed down the bridge, and Shchedrin stood on the pier below, quickly picking up the explosives packs handed from above.
If the explosive bag had been placed directly on the bridge deck, the damage to the bridge would not have been particularly large, and the Germans would have repaired it quickly, and the legs of the bridge had to be blown up.
Hurry, hurry!
The space on the pier was not large, and only Shchedrin could be accommodated, and he took the explosives packets handed down from them, and stacked them one by one.
On the bridgehead, fierce battles are underway.
In terms of numbers, a reconnaissance platoon in the USSR, with more than thirty people, surpassed the German paratroopers on the opposite side, but, judging by firepower, it was different.
After the recoilless guns of the Germans knocked out three machine guns one after another, the Soviet soldiers were left to shoot with their own Monasingan rifles, which played a small role in this situation.
On the contrary, the Germans were all automatic, and each had a 6.8mm assault rifle in their hand, with drums hanging underneath, enough ammunition for them to rain bullets.
At this time, the German airborne forces had already expected something, every minute of delay was dangerous, and the Soviets must be thinking about blowing up the bridge!
"Da-da-da-da." The 6.8 mm bullet pressed the Soviet soldiers so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and the German paratroopers on this side took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward.
"Bulging." Suddenly, the sound of submachine guns sounded from the opposite side, and several German paratroopers in front of them hurriedly lay down, bullets flying over their heads, almost killing them.
Badakhov carried his PPD34 submachine gun and rushed over to participate in the blocking of the German paratroopers together.
Then, he quickly moved to the side, there was a cannon on the opposite side, and he didn't want to be killed by the cannon.
Hold on, hold on until you have the explosives in place!
The other party's gunfire suddenly stopped, and the battlefield was silent for a while, but this silence was even more frightening.
Badakhov knew that this was just a change of plan on the part of the other side, and that once the battle resumed, it would be terrifying.
A minute, two minutes, and so the time passed slowly.
On the pier behind, the explosives package was finally put out, and Shchedrin inserted the detonator into it, and then slowly climbed up.
"Platoon commander, the explosives are placed." Badakhov in front of him, this voice came to his ears.
"Detonate immediately." Badakhov said without hesitation.
Now, they are blocking the Germans, if they retreat, then the Germans will follow, they may not be able to detonate the explosives, so, they have to blow up the bridge now, the back road is interrupted, they can only rush through the German defense line, break out, even if they can't get out, as long as the bridge is blown up, they have completed the task!
Badakhov was quite determined, and Shchedrin, who was behind, dragged two thin lines all the way to the side of the line, and then, having connected the battery, twisted the detonation knob.
