Chapter 784: Counting the Counts (Part I)
By the time Natalia and Steadied They, Andrea's side had already begun to push towards hers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoDue to Andrei's tactical influence, a lot of German troops on this side were diverted, and the focus was on the two bridgeheads, after Andrei used the quick attack tactics to directly kill the village, there were not many German troops in the face.
Two groups, a total of six tanks, were completely unable to resist these German infantry and a very small number of tanks, and they attacked from two directions, although this is basically the territory of the German army, but it is extremely difficult for the enemy to capture this squad, after all, after Bella's tank was destroyed, none of the remaining squad members are good......
Unlike Andrei's side, which is progressing rapidly, the progress of the infantry side is more pitiful, and until now, they have not been able to advance a bit. Although it has a numerical advantage, once it breaks out of the woods, it will encounter extremely heavy firepower, and the Germans also have a terrain advantage, so the two sides are still engaged in a fierce war of attrition.
Although at first the infantry decided to let Andrei's tank force act as the main force, while they carried out auxiliary attacks. But at Andrei's repeated requests, they had to carry a variety of heavy weapons through the hard but smooth ice, and before and after that, they had to make a long detour, while the Germans discovered their tactics in advance. Therefore, before the battle, these Soviet soldiers had already experienced severe physical exertion, and it was really not easy to continue to fight with the Germans now.
However, now they also have to admit the correctness of Andrei's tactics. Because without those mortars or heavy machine guns, they would undoubtedly have been suppressed by the Germans, and if they did, the casualties they spoke of would have increased even further. Compared to blood, it is still sweating to make people acceptable......
"Bang!" The artillerymen kept feeding shells into the barrels of the mortars, striving to inflict maximum damage on the enemy in the shortest possible time. Unlike grenades with a long range, due to the large parabolic angle, it is also greatly affected by the wind, and the mortar is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of range and accuracy. However, in order to reduce this error, the Soviet fighters pushed the mortars forward step by step, trying to cover all the German troops.
The Germans were obviously not so lucky, although they also had some mortars in their hands, but due to the influence of terrain, there were many fewer firing positions to choose from. And because the Soviets were hiding in the woods, the high parabolic attack method of the mortar could easily make the shells fall on the tall trees, and many shells exploded directly on the trunks, and only a few shells fell in the positions of the Soviet troops. And because the trees themselves block the view, even if the shells fall, not every shot can cause damage to the Soviet troops. Therefore, in such a comparison, there are still certain advantages and disadvantages of double hair.
However, if the biggest difference is concerned, it is that the Soviet army can unscrupulously engage in a tug-of-war with the German army, while the German army has to worry about their rear defense at all times. Just now, as many as six Soviet tanks have broken in, and judging from the configuration, it is not a second-rate tank unit, it should be the main force of the Soviet army. They knew very well that the number of troops left behind could not deal with the Soviet tanks, and if another group of Soviet infantry came from there at this time, they really couldn't defend themselves.
Although the Soviets had used all their forces to attack, the Germans had no idea that they had been worried about the non-existent unit......
And this kind of psychological fluctuation was captured by Anton. Soon after advancing with Natalia, he could see from the overly cautious defensive attitude of the German army, and they were even more uncertain about their defensive operation in their hearts than Andrei had expected. And after a little analysis, Anton also guessed why.
"Andrey! The Germans are scared! After receiving this information, Anton quickly informed Andrei: "They should think that we have another unit waiting for us to completely take the two bridges before attacking." ”
"Huh? They're really worried! Andre said with a smile, although the tactics this time were designed by him, but he did not expect such a good effect. But now that Anton said this, he decided that it was necessary to change tactics while he was planning now.
The first step in changing tactics was to abandon the previous plan to merge the two squads at the first time, and replace them with two squads with fire support from outside the village to attack the troops stationed at the two bridges. After repulsing them, the remaining friendly forces outside are brought in, although their strength is extremely limited, but this will definitely make the suspicion of the German army directly turn into a 'real' battle situation, as for the later battle, it is estimated that it will be easier.
The two squads that changed their tactics immediately turned around and counterattacked the enemy at the bridgehead, although during this period of time, Andrei and they made redundant moves, but the Germans who were in a panic did not find the only unnatural place in this smooth tactic, otherwise they would definitely be able to take countermeasures before Andre and them, but after all, this is an unpredictable and deceitful battlefield, even if someone really finds out, in this panicked situation, The possibility of passing it off as another hoax of the Soviet tank forces is also not small.
And when it comes to the task of storming the troops stationed at the bridgehead, there is actually no such difficult feeling as Andrei said-
First of all, Andrei and his team had long-range firepower stationed outside the village as support, and the firepower was completely inferior to the Germans; Moreover, in addition to them, there are still some friendly troops on the other side of the bridge, and both of them can easily form a flanking attack on the Soviet army;
Finally, and most importantly, the German army is now its own factor, Andrei's action can be said to have hit the soft underbelly of their hearts, as long as the initial offensive is resolute enough, ruthless enough, this can definitely deceive the German army, as for how they should deal with it later, Andrei can guess it immediately even if he thinks about it with his toes......
