Chapter 1535: The Battle on the Riverbank
Hayassi's body was covered with river water, and when he came up, he was blown by the cold wind, and he almost shivered a few times.
Originally, they were going to organize the fortifications on the spot after the bridge was blown up, they had howitzers, they had a decent number of bazookas, and they could continue to fight.
However, if you think about the terrible combat effectiveness of the Germans, the invulnerability of the Tiger tanks, and the fact that the other side actually made something like a fence to make their own attack ineffective, they knew that if they turned to the defense on the spot, although they were determined to die, I am afraid that there would not be much success, and the Germans would crush them as easily as pinching chickens to death.
At this time, Hayasi had a whim, since there would not be too many results in turning to defense on the spot, he would simply put on an illusion.
So, they abandoned the howitzers, and they let their cars go west along the riverbank, but the infantry among them hid in the river.
They held reed poles in their mouths, breathed, and held out underwater for hours with the perseverance that only the most elite troops have.
Sure enough, the Germans were fooled, they had no defense in the river at all, they just launched a large-scale search of the woods on the other side of the riverbank, which, of course, had nothing in them, and only exhausted the Germans.
Now, it's a good opportunity.
The German tanks stopped, and even stopped, and the German infantry searched for the woods, while a soldier named Nissi, slowly coming up from the river, was on the edge of the riverbank, and went into attack mode.
It's dry season, and there is a slope more than a meter high on the riverbank, which can be used as a shelter for them.
Fire!
A soldier carrying a rocket launcher fired at the side of a Tiger tank, and in a burst of fire, the rocket hit the side of the tank.
No matter how thick a tank is, the sides and back are always weak points of protection, and if it didn't have the outside fence, it would have been able to hit.
Now, once again, the rocket was blocked by the fence and detonated prematurely, and the red-hot metal jet headed for the air, wasting precious energy in vain.
The German tanks again withstood the rocket hits, and at the same time, the German soldiers had already reacted.
The two sides began to shoot each other.
Although the American-made rifle was a cross-era weapon with semi-automatic firing capability and a fairly high rate of fire, it was immediately suppressed under the counterattack of the German 6.8 mm submachine gun.
For the Germans, this kind of gun can almost play the role of a machine gun, and each person has a machine gun, how ferocious should this firepower be?
One by one, 6.8 mm bullets were fired at the riverbank position where the Nissi were hiding on the opposite side, and a named Nissi was suppressed by the flying bullets and couldn't raise his head.
At the same time, the Nissi had already consumed their eight-pel rounds under the rapid fire, and this Garand rifle had many advantages, it was easy to disassemble and clean, and its combination of caliber, projectile velocity, and semi-automatic performance provided firepower superior to other rifles. If its only drawback, it's that it's difficult to reload magazines.
One of the Nissi shrank back and quickly reloaded their rifles, wasting their precious time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hades shouted loudly: "Get on the tank!" ”
Braving sporadic firepower from the opposite side, one by one the tankmen quickly climbed onto their tanks, and some unlucky ones were unfortunately hit by stray bullets, but most of the tankers returned to their posts.
"Rumble, rumble." The engine was activated, and in a puff of black smoke, the two tracks of the Tiger tank reversed, and came to a center of the same place, with the muzzle facing the riverbank.
"Fire!" Hades shouted over the radio.
The distance was too close, their tank guns had no angle of fire at all, only the parallel machine guns on the turret, and the machine guns of the radiomen in front of the hull, were firing fiercely, and their machine guns were firing even more fiercely, and the dense bullets flew to the opposite riverbank, and it was too difficult for the Nissi to look up.
One Nissi bravely leaned out to shoot another rocket, but just as he poked out, a dense stream of bullets swept down on him, and his body fell backwards into the river behind him, a blood-red color that spread.
"Slow progress." Hades continued to shout.
After successfully neutralizing the Nissi on the riverbank, the Tiger began to advance slowly, and at the same time, behind the Tiger tank, the infantry also caught up.
They dodged behind the tanks and followed them forward.
If it was on the field, the tank would have been able to rush over at full speed, but not now, the space of tens of meters wide is too fast, and it is easy to fall into the river.
The role of the tank is to act as a bunker for the infantry, protect the infantry, and then the infantry use their own firepower to kill these hateful guys.
Even tank machine guns only provide a suppressive effect, and if the opponent is all hiding under the river bank, then machine gun bullets will not pose an effective threat to them.
At this time, the best weapon is the Spitfire tank.
A fire dragon, emerging from the spout of the Spitfire tank, flew forward for several tens of meters and landed on the bank of the river.
In an instant, Nissi's machine gunner, who had just been firing to death, was surrounded by a burst of fire, and he screamed in the flames and fell into the river behind him.
There was no need to collect the corpses, and the river behind them was quickly dyed red.
The Spitfire continued to shoot flames forward, sweeping sideways, leaving no more open wherever it went.
The German infantry followed, and continued to move forward, forward, closer and closer to the river bank.
"Rush!" Just when the distance between the two sides was still more than ten meters, Hayassi suddenly shouted loudly, and he rushed forward with his Garand rifle with a bayonet.
They have no way to retreat, there is a river behind them, and now that the two sides are so close, the impact of the tank's machine guns on them has been reduced because of the firing range problem, and the infantry who are hiding behind the tanks have not yet come forward.
It is the best opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward and take out the Germans!
This is a battle of warriors and warriors, who will take out their enemies with bayonets!
In fact, in some cases, it is because the bayonet is more flexible than the rifle, and at close range, it may be too late to aim and fire, but the bayonet can poke at once.
As long as they entered into hand-to-hand combat with the Germans, even if the Germans had automatic rifles in their hands, they would not be able to give full play to their firepower, because they had to worry about accidental injury.
Hand-to-hand combat, a contest of courage and technique, bayonets are red, and there is no end to death.
