Because of the terrain advantage and the abundant ammunition supply in this defensive operation, Trood originally thought that it would not be difficult, but because it was a battle with the Soviet Army Group Center, which had never fought before, it made him more or less vigilant. And what it turns out is that the advance measures he made were useful, but they were not enough!

Judging from the initial combat performance, he had expected the enemy to fight a war of attrition with him, so on this first night, he ordered his troops to rest and prepare for the next day's battle in the best condition. However, it was his decision that became the initial and crucial failure of this battle - just when the enemy had already surrounded them, they still had half of their troops resting in their positions, which directly led to their sharp contraction of the battle line after being besieged, and they really had no other choice but passive defense.

Because Trod underestimated the strength of the Soviet tank force, Tryna's tank was hit and damaged in the first encounter, resulting in the inability to move, but the latter withdrew safely, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. And now, Trode and others temporarily withdrew to the inside of the position to avoid the second sneak attack of the Soviet army, using this time, Trode sent a message to Vincent, asking him to focus on the Soviet tank troops, and most importantly, don't suffer in the power of the main gun like him.

However, Vincent's side had already exploded due to the combined attack of snipers and infantry, although the front was not dangerous, but there were constantly teammates falling, which was too far worse than they had expected, and the morale had dropped all the way, even worse than that of Trood's side, which was surrounded on three sides. At this time, I heard that Trood's side was ambushed by Soviet tank troops, and even fought one for one. Vincent realized that the situation was far more difficult than what he was going through.

But at least the back of Vincent's side is still safe now, although they are not like Trood, the ammunition depot was attacked, but after receiving the information that Trode was attacked, he also sent additional guards in the rear, but fortunately. Everything works fine.

After cutting off radio communication with Trode, Vincent said in a deep voice, "Did you hear that...... We're in big trouble this time! ”

"One for one? What is Troder up to? Hans didn't understand that. Of course, he is not the only one who doesn't understand, if you convert the combat effectiveness, it is obviously a little higher than Trode's side, and under the same number, he actually played an unprecedented poor record of the 217 squad, which is unacceptable and natural.

"This shows that the superiority of the Soviet army in terms of equipment has reached a level that we could not have imagined before." Leona remained calm about the situation. Calmly analyzed: "Although the rear is now the focus of guarding the target, if the artillery that has entered the Soviet army has reached the level of being able to penetrate the IV Destroyer head-on, even if it is frontal, it is also a dangerous area." ”

"More than five hours to ......go," Vincent glanced at his watch, although he still wanted to delay until dawn, but in terms of time, it was too long, given the current rapidly changing situation. He really didn't have the confidence to drag it out until that point. However, it can only be said that Vincent is still thinking too long-term......

"Boom!" Just while Vincent and the others were guarding the flank and frontal positions. On the other side, which should have been completely free of any threat, they were attacked!

As for why it is said to be completely non-threatening, it is because the terrain here is so poor that it is a complete nightmare for the enemy who tries to attack, and if it is not a professional mountain unit, even if you just want to pass through, it will take a lot of effort. So Vincent only sent a few men to guard the position. It's just for peace of mind. However, now these people are not working as expected, and the Soviets are dropping mortar shells and incendiary bombs on them from this direction!

However, due to the influence of the terrain, the Soviet artillery bombardment seems to be completely inaccurate, but this is only the initial stage. After several bombardments, the Soviets corrected their firing area step by step, as if they were under command, and finally, they firmly locked the shelling site in the area where several infantry gathered.

"It's amazing!" Hans gritted his teeth and looked at the scene in front of him, although he was not good at analyzing the enemy's flexible tactics, but the way of fighting in front of him was too familiar to him. This is clearly the positioning strike he commanded Hilde's 'Tiger' style at the beginning, and most of the people who positioned them were the sniper. And he knew that in their current situation, there was basically no solution to this tactic, and that the terrain blocked the enemy as well as themselves. This is undoubtedly to build a natural barrier for the Soviet artillery, and neither the tanks nor the infantry can do anything about them.

But being bombed so passively is definitely not a long-term solution, even if the terrain is not good, Vincent must try it now. Although he knew that the burden of his command was extremely heavy, but at present, except for him, there was really no one who could lead the infantry to the Soviet artillery position, so he still decided to divide the command to Leona and Hans, these two people have their own strengths, but they can complement each other in many places, which is also an important reason why Vincent can give the command to the two of them more confidently.

"You don't have to wait for me, you just have to watch the position!" Leaving this sentence, Vincent turned around and got out of the tank, and rushed from the trench to find the captain of the infantry, and after explaining his intentions, Vincent temporarily gained command of a ten-man squad.

In fact, Vincent estimated that this artillery position had a natural barrier as a backing, and there should not be many soldiers to cover it, which is indeed a bit too much for ten people, but the problem is that this section of the steep slope, if they want to raid, they must not use lighting equipment, in this case, how many people can break through the steep slope, but it is difficult to say. In order to have sufficient combat effectiveness in the back, it is also necessary to bring a few more people.

After simply preparing the required equipment, Vincent carried the Carl 98K sniper rifle behind his back, held the MP38 in his hand, beckoned the infantry, and immediately went into action. (To be continued.) )
