When the two sides of the battle were fiercely tug-of-war, because the terrain conditions limited the area of activity of the troops on both sides, the artillery played a more effective role than the general battle, and in this artillery battle, the Soviet soldiers should probably also be grateful for this damn weather, after all, if the Germans carried out a covering attack with incendiary bombs towards their position, then with the depth of their defense, it would definitely not be able to parry.

Although a small number of people in the Soviet army here may really think of this, the Soviet soldiers fighting on the other side will not think like this at all-

On the wooded side, the twin infantry was still in full swing, but the Soviet fighters who were using mortars here were not at all impressed by the rain compared to the interception of German anti-tank artillery at the frontal bridgehead. This is also due to the obstruction of the field of vision, so that they can't tell which side of the target is a little closer, and the troops who are farther away are completely invisible, so they can only do some probabilistic fire suppression shooting.

But for some experienced veterans, the threat of probabilistic strafing from heavy machine guns and such mortar strikes is not too great, and it is not too difficult to dodge them as long as you pay a little attention to your surroundings. And with the protection of the natural barrier of heavy rain, they are more handy when completing these actions.

However, while the German soldiers were staring at the artillery fire and moving forward bravely, the Soviet soldiers were so scorched by the German artillery fire that they were sometimes blown up so that they could not even raise their heads, let alone effectively block the German charge. So, the same artillery, why is there such a big gap between the two sides?

If anything, this matter really does not depend on the artillerymen, but is determined by the offensive and defensive identities of the two sides. The German soldiers were on the offensive, and the angle of attack they could choose was very different, and if they were locked by Soviet artillery fire, they could completely change the angle of attack at the first time. But in such a rainy day, the speed of artillery retargeting is certainly not enough to keep up with the speed of these soldiers' transfer, which is why the speed mortar will often shoot at areas where there are few enemies.

However, the Soviets were not so lucky as the defenders, because they needed to prevent the Germans from slipping over the ramps on both sides, so the Soviets had a long defensive line on their side. However, the defensive line is long, but there are not too many points that can be used to effectively strike at the Germans in combination with the terrain factors. Therefore, as long as the German artillery, with the cooperation of some front-line observers, only a few corrections were needed, they could find out several key positions of the Soviet army's deployment, and the only thing these mortars had to do was to tilt their fire towards these key positions.

One after another, shells fell on the Soviet position, and even the ammunition box was blown up, and the Soviet soldiers could only hold their frozen steel helmets and curl up in a corner, while those soldiers without steel helmets could only pray that no piece of shrapnel would fly directly to his head.

It is conceivable that if Anton had not ordered them to dig the trenches as deep as possible, the German mortar fire alone would have caused them a lot of casualties. But while hiding in the trenches for safety, it is not so pleasant to go - due to the heavy rainfall, the trenches in almost all areas have been heavily waterlogged, and the more exaggerated places in them are completely able to squat and dive inside. Even if it was a slightly better location, it was completely ankle-free, and no one would want to fight in such a 'ditch' if it were not for the fear of German artillery fire.

Although some soldiers initially tried to drain the water from the trenches into the river on one side, they realized that it was in vain after digging through the trenches. Because of the urgency of the situation, Anton had to order the troops to dig deep trenches as hard as they could, but this also led to an uneven workload. Even in a trench, there are many places of varying depths, because of this condition, the water in the trench cannot be drained at all.

In addition, the rain also made the soil softer, and the soil that had been compacted on both sides of the trenches gradually collapsed, and it was even more vulnerable under the bombardment of German artillery. Sometimes, all it takes is a single low-powered mortar shell to fill a trench directly, which is something that would not happen in half the weather.

Of course, when it comes to the trouble caused by the soft soil, not only the Soviets, but also the German soldiers - since this is the main battlefield when the Soviets were still attacking in the last time, there are simply too many craters on the ground to count. These craters would have been a good helper for German soldiers in normal weather. But under the influence of heavy rain, these craters were transformed into a quagmire that blocked the German advance.

Since these craters were blown out, the surrounding soil was already quite soft, and after being infiltrated by rainwater, the soft layer of soil on top would turn into mud, and if you stepped on it, it would have a huge impact on the action. However, under the effect of heavy rain, many small craters or craters that have been deformed after several explosions have been filled by the rain, and the German soldiers cannot tell whether it is a real quagmire or not until they actually step on it. Although stepping into the quagmire is mostly just a hard fall or something like that, and it does not pose a threat to life, it is a great obstacle to the pace of advancement.

As for the large craters, it is estimated that only fools would burrow into them to avoid artillery fire. Because of the wetness of the rain, as long as a person jumps in, it is almost impossible to escape from it without the help of other people or props. Slippery and muddy soil will only make you slippery in place, no matter how hard you try. Imagine how ironic it is to watch one of his teammates sprint forward one by one, while he himself falls in a big mud puddle, and for many people it may be more painful than a bullet.

The battle between the Soviet and German artillery is still going on, and there is no intention of stopping, because of the weather, the artillery fire has also produced a lot of additional effects, which also makes them a more important role than tanks, judging from the current situation, if the two sides want to make a breakthrough, it will definitely not work if they do not use each other's artillery.
