Chapter 674: All-rounder
"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”
"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”
On this gloomy afternoon, the sound of gunfire and rain went hand in hand, and the sound of artillery fire, which was sparse compared to the first two, all of which made up a bleak and passionate vocal music. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rain in the sky has no intention of stopping, and the dust on the ground that has been blown up by artillery fire is mixed with the rain to form a quagmire, and when people step on it, if the center of gravity is unstable, it is likely to slip directly. In addition, those stones that are mixed in the mud pool, because they are the same color as the muddy water, if you don't pay attention to it, it is likely to be ignored directly, and the consequence is that the possibility of slipping is a big step.
However, the fact is that although some people did slip, no one laughed at them, not because their companions had good qualities and did not make fun of others, but because almost all of them were only concerned about themselves, and they could be said to be completely blind to everything around them, and this state has been going on for about ten minutes......
As a prominent point of the Soviet army's defensive belt, it originally had a lot of troops, and because of this, although the Germans had attacked and harassed this place many times, they did not dare to really attack here. But as time went on, the need for troops began to increase everywhere, and this position had an extremely large number of troops but little fighting, so it was natural that they were positioned as the target of the transfer of troops.
But there is a degree to everything, and once this degree is passed, then it is possible for things to turn from prosperity to decline, or even directly to destruction. And this position is like this, because of the frequent transfers, the number of troops here is getting smaller and smaller, but because the number of each transfer is not large, and the strength of the enemy's attack is indeed too weak, this phenomenon is like a 'boiled frog in warm water', so that the soldiers in the position do not have the slightest sense of crisis.
(PS: Boiling frogs in warm water is just a statement, not a real event, some people have done experiments, even if you use warm water to boil frogs, the frogs will jump out of the water at about 65 degrees, so as to prove that the frog's perception of water does not change with the speed of temperature rise.) )
And not long after a young commander rushed to this still calm position, the Germans launched a large-scale offensive against it. And this young commander took the initiative to take the order and decided to fight the Germans to the death here.
Although he was initially suspected of having the ability to command, after emphasizing his rank, he explained that he had experience in commanding mixed infantry and tank units, so no one spoke again. On the one hand, because on the surface, Anton is better than them; On the other hand, because the situation in front of them is so tricky, no one has the confidence to ensure that this position will not be lost due to their own command mistakes. Although they will all be punished after the position is lost, if they are not the commander-in-chief, at least there will be less condemnation in their hearts......
"On the right, you split up in two teams and go to the houses on both sides to support us, remember to bring anti-tank weapons and heavy machine guns; Artillery, do not aim at the frontmost units of the enemy, aim as far as possible at the central strip, disconnect their ranks as much as possible; And the light tank over there, now retreating from the front edge of the position, do you see that sandbag pile on my left? That's it, just hide there and use your firepower! ”
Anton's command speed was not too fast, and he did not have Andrei's swift and windy momentum. However, Anton is able to cross-command several arms without interfering with his own thoughts, so that each class can be put into action, which can effectively reduce the idle time of each class. Although it may sound a little chaotic, if the leader of each class only listens to his own tasks, then it will feel that only Anton himself will be chaotic, and this level of chaos is still too slight for Anton......
Of course, as the deputy captain of the 217 squad, Anton certainly can't forget his own line when commanding the overall situation, he has already found a suitable position for his group when he was commanding the infantry just now, and took out the time that other troops were preparing, and immediately shouted to his group: "Leonid, look at the direction of the front of your car at two o'clock, and pile up a sandbag bunker now!" Boris, you do the same thing as Leonid in your eleven o'clock direction, quick! ”
Sandbag bunkers, as the name suggests, are stacked in front of them to withstand bullets, and their practical value is quite good for infantry. In the case of tanks, this kind of cover is also quite valuable, as it can withstand the shells of the tank itself, and if the shell is HE, it is very likely to detonate directly on the sandbag, so that the tank itself does not take any damage.
However, this type of bunker is more laborious to carry and time-consuming to place, so in many cases, the infantry will dig directly into the trenches to reduce the damage caused by the enemy. But now in urban warfare, digging trenches can be quite laborious, so sandbags have become an easy defense in comparison.
But even if it's simple, there's a 'comparison' in it. And now that the enemy is in view, it seems a little ridiculous to ask Boris and Leonid to set up cover. But Anton knew that the enemy had seized this opportunity with great difficulty, and although they were impatient to break through here, they should pay more attention to efficiency than time. If they can't break through here in one go, the subsequent battles will become quite tricky for them. Therefore, at this time when it was clear that the enemy's oppression could be felt, Anton was able to make his troops change the deployment on a large scale, because he calculated that the enemy would not rush directly over.
Unlike the battle just now, this time the scale is much larger, so Anton is really a little lacking. In desperation, he had to 'ask for a leave' with his car crew, and let them play by themselves after assigning a good position for defense, because Anton still has to command the troops of the entire position in the battle, although there is a radio station in the tank to communicate with the outside, but this is too time-consuming and laborious, and Anton in the tank cannot see the overall situation, which will have a very adverse impact on his command, so at this time, he can't take into account the original agreement with Andre......
