Chapter 861: One More Man's Car Crew
Due to the order, the Germans could not immediately go into the woods to hide under the heavy artillery fire of the Soviet army, but stood on some relatively unfavorable terrain and fought hard, but those with a slightly clearer mind could see it. www.biquge.info The reinforcements that the Germans were waiting for were even as unreliable as the reinforcements that Andrei was waiting for, because they would never have arrived on time!
The rushing river was still flowing at a high speed, the souls of the dead who had just died in the flood might still be floating around, and the steel bridge, which was of decent quality, was completely twisted and deformed, and more than half of it was completely sunk in the flood, and it was already scrapped.
Although it is close to the middle of the twentieth century, technology has become more advanced, and people can do more things. But in the face of such a huge natural force as the flood, it was so small that except for some of the troops who 'rushed to support', the rest of the people could only stare at the rolling river and sigh.
The German troops were also surrounded by floods, and in the face of a flood of this level, any attempt to force a crossing could be equated with suicide. But so what? The Soviet troops in front of them rushed towards them like crazy beasts, although they were inferior in numbers, but they completely surpassed the German army in terms of equipment, momentum and even terrain, and it can be said that most of the victory chips in this battle in front of them have been held by the Soviet army. Because this change was so sudden, some of them even suspected that the Soviets had already planned to use the weather against them.
Although in ancient times, there was an oriental general Han Xin who put out a 'backwater array' to break the enemy army with fewer enemies, but in fact, the 'backwater array' is indeed a taboo for soldiers, and Han Xin's final victory was not only won by relying on the 'backwater array' to stimulate the morale of the generals, but skillfully hit the morale of the enemy to win the morale of the battle.
And today, the German army here has also set up half a 'backwater array' - that is, surrounded by water on both sides. However, unlike the soldiers under Han Xin at that time, the morale of these German troops was still declining, and it was declining at a completely irrepressible speed, which was an extremely fatal situation.
On the contrary, the Soviet army opposite them really played the classic tactics of the then general Han Xin -- "Fall into the place of death and then live, and put it in the place of death and survive."
At this time, the Soviet army can be said to have completely run out of retreat - the reinforcements cannot be counted on, and the stubborn defense will inevitably be exhausted, and only by breaking through can there be a glimmer of life, and if you can't even pass the first hurdle in front of you, then how can you talk about survival later? Although it is still their mission to defend their homeland and country, it is time for them to fight for their lives. And in the face of this reason, will there still be people who can't raise the full will to fight?
Although the thunder roared and the cannon body burst out, if you listen carefully, even the crisp sound of the Soviet soldier pulling the bolt of the Mosin-Nagant gun can be heard in the ears without falling. While the rain hit the surface of the wooden barrel, a small amount of water slid down with the barrel, leaving a faint trace on the surface of the barrel.
"Bang!"
When the trigger was pulled, the 7.62mm bullet was fired at the same time, and the rain on the gun body also vibrated and slid down. As the experienced soldier pulled the bolt again, a hot, white smoke bullet case ejected. The bolt slowly re-propelled the next lethal bullet through the magazine into the chamber.
"Click!"
The bullet is loaded and the bolt slips along the track to the very top, and there is a slight sound of hard hand to indicate that the operator can move on to the next step. At this time, there was an unknown amount of water splashing in front of the eyes of the eagle-like staring at the enemy, the body of the already experienced Mosin-Nagant......
In terms of small arms, although the Mosin-Nagant rifle still accounts for the majority, but another weapon - PPSH41 is extremely eye-catching, in the close fire with the German army, it even completely overwhelmed the German submachine gun, and it can even be said that it has recovered the face of the PD on the MG34, in order to prove that in the infantry firepower, the Soviet army is also worthwhile!
Although the German officers and men still held their positions in this extremely unfavorable situation according to the order, in the final analysis, they were extremely lacking in anti-tank capabilities, and the 37mm anti-tanks brought over by the army at that time were also brought over after disassembling some of the accessories, and if they wanted to cause damage to the Soviet tank units with the T-34 tank as the main force, this 37mm 'stepping stone' was obviously not enough.
The impact of the 217 Squad on the German positions by the main tank units was almost devastating - they only fired at the Germans at medium range, and handed over to the surrounding infantry units responsible for cover at close range, and striking at the enemy at long distances would not be too intuitive to advance.
And this is the way of advancement, the German infantry that hit has no possibility of fighting back, every time they encounter the fierce artillery fire of the Soviet tanks, before they have time to raise their heads, they are directly overwhelmed by the Soviet infantry rushing towards them. And with such a large gap in morale, the disparity in white-knuckle combat was revealed, and the ability of the soldiers on both sides to fight bayonets would not have been too different, but now it has become a one-sided slaughter. The bayonet on the body of the gun may have reaped more lives than the muzzle of Mosin-Nagant......
In the advancing 217 squad, there was a tank that was obviously not in the right place, but it was not affected by this, and there was no loss in terms of combat effectiveness, and it was still playing as usual, steadily.
This team is Xia Bing's team, and the extra person is the captain of Team 217 - Andre. At this time, Andrei was wrapped in thick clothes and fell into a corner of the tank, his eyes slightly closed, and although they were heavy with each other, they did not lose their sense of rhythm. And it was just carried out of the ward by Xia Bing and brought to the battlefield together, which was also something she and Anton had discussed before.
What reassured Anton was that Xia Bing did not lose any combat effectiveness because of Andrei's incident, she didn't even look back at Andre, but only cared about the battle in front of her...... (To be continued.) )
