Chapter 746: Forge ahead
"Damn, do these German panzers know how to retreat?" The commander of a Soviet T-34, while aiming at the target, yelled. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In his opinion, the cowardly behavior of these Germans has completely exceeded the bottom line, and it is simply a shame that the tank, which is used as a shield for infantry, is used by them like that.
And what this commander scolded was the rear position detachment of the 217 squad commanded by Vincent and Hans. Due to the difference from the forward positions, they lacked firepower and did not have the capital to fight hard with the Soviet armored forces. According to Hans's pre-war plan, they retreated again and again, trying their best to hide their tanks behind bunkers, relying on the terrain to continuously strike at Soviet tanks.
However, as the Soviet commander scolded, Hans's tactics did cause more or less losses to the infantry - when they retreated, the infantry did not retreat with them, but continued to hold on to the front line, in order to prevent the enemy's infantry from taking advantage of this gap to pounce in an instant. And in the direct face of the Soviet infantry and tank fire, their losses must have been greater than before Hans and they retreated.
But this is also a tactic that was discussed in advance, although the infantry was a little helpless, but they still took over Hans's tactics relatively simply, after all, if Hans was destroyed by the enemy early, they would definitely have no drama, so this extra sacrifice is still acceptable.
But as soon as the infantry accepted this, it was Hans who was heartbroken. He felt that this was extremely unfair, after all, whether it was infantry or armored soldiers, in fact, they should be equal, and it was a bit too much to let these flesh-and-blood infantry stand in front of him, while his armored soldiers with iron armor were hiding behind. But sometimes war is not emotional, and some sacrifices are inevitable for the sake of victory, although not necessary.
Of course, this is quite clear, and it is directly defined as, 'If the sacrifice is unavoidable, then why not just see it as necessary?' This slightly sidelined reason is André's creed, and I won't mention it here.
Due to Hans's frequent change of position, enemy tanks could hardly lock them on, let alone penetrate them effectively. And under the attack of Hans, at a distance of dozens of meters in front of them, although they looked very close, it seemed that they could not rush to the German position on the opposite side.
Some Soviet soldiers tried to detonate the mines along the way with explosions, but with little success, and a few of the S-shaped mines that were actually detonated, even if they were already hiding far away, still some Soviet soldiers were unlucky. The worst thing to say was an infantry man who was firing at a German position. An S-shaped mine exploded without warning at a distance from him, and although he was in the trench, he was supposed to be unharmed, but coincidentally, a piece of splintered iron that had gained sufficient kinetic energy through the explosion shot directly into his eye in a straight trajectory.
Although the iron sheet was stuck in the skull and failed to enter the brain to cause further damage, his eye was completely useless. He covered his face in pain and kept rolling on the ground. The medical soldiers on the side immediately ran to his side to check, and with the help of several people, they finally saw the full condition of his wounds.
The soldier on one side hurriedly asked the medic if his eye could still be healed, but the medic shook his head miserably. Then he immediately ordered the man on the side to continue holding him, and he removed the broken iron with skillful movements, and at the same time saw the eyeball, which was about to be cut in half. He carefully sprinkled some powder on the wound, although the wound was not fatal and the bleeding was not particularly serious. However, the most worrying thing for the medic is the infection, if the bacteria spread from here to the brain, then it is far from just an eyeball problem, but the soldier will not be able to save it anyway.
Since there was no anesthetic, all these processes were carried by the wounded Soviet soldier. Of course, although Trode does not use anesthetics, how can the injuries suffered by Trode be compared with this injury, if Trode is a real man, then this Soviet soldier who has persisted until now is almost a superman.
Although theoretically one eye can fight, but with such a big injury, who can hold a gun? Therefore, the medic immediately ordered the people on the side to carry him to the back, and when he watched the soldier carry him away, the medic soldier's worried and helpless expression could move anyone. Now, he couldn't do much to him except pray that the battle would be won, and that the soldier would be extremely lucky not to be infected......
Because the comrades around him fell one after another, and the progress of the offensive did not rise much, the officers on the Soviet side were holding back a lot of anger. Finally, an officer could not hold back the anger in his heart, and he shouted: "Come with me who are not afraid of death, and rush up!" ”
Although this was a somewhat frightening remark, it boosted the morale of the Soviet soldiers, and many people surrounded him in an instant. He was quite excited to see that he had the effect of responding to all calls just because of one sentence. After trying to calm his emotions, he pointed to the tank on the side and said, "Let's follow the tank, I'll let the tank drive as fast as possible, and we all have to run." Even if the tanks are destroyed, we must not stop, at least rush to the edge of the German position, where we must stabilize our position and cover our brothers behind. ”
"Good!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the morale of the Soviet army reached its peak directly.
This simple tactic was immediately deployed - four T-34 tanks and the fearless Soviet soldiers who followed them, under the cover of their teammates, began to attack the edge of the German position.
Although the Soviet tanks had a counter-suppressive effect on Hans, they still couldn't completely stop Hans from firing at these four tanks. But it should be that God is protecting them at this time, whether it is the 4th or the 4th annihilation, except for those that did not hit, the shells that hit them all ricocheted without exception, and they were getting closer and closer to the German positions......
