Chapter 951: Uninterrupted!
"Bell, bell, bell!" Accompanied by a fierce sound, the DP machine gun spewed out fiery tongues of fire and flew towards the vanguard of the German army in a wide-coverage strike. However www.biquge.info even if you don't take into account the impact of distance on the power of the bullet and the direction of flight, there are very few warheads that can really hurt the German soldiers, after all, there is a group of ironclad beasts in front of these German soldiers that are difficult for the Soviet soldiers to shake.
"Reload!" The Heavy quickly finished a drum, and then shouted without turning his head, and at this time, the other hand quickly groped for the DP machine gun, skillfully unloaded the drum placed on the gun, and immediately slapped a new drum, and the Heavy began a new round of strafing.
The Heavy is responsible for changing the ammunition in collaboration with the Heavy and his observer and loader. The two of them have already experienced several battles with this DP machine gun, and they already have a lot of tacit understanding, and they only need one or two actions to understand what the other party means. Although compared with the heavy machine gun, the DP light machine gun is indeed much less powerful, and when compared with the German MG34, it is also crushed by it in terms of combat effectiveness.
However, this does not deny the significance of the existence of the DP machine gun, which at that time was still one of the important light weapons that Soviet soldiers needed to rely on. Although it can be operated by one person, it can be used by two people in tandem to show its combat effectiveness. The obscure loader may not seem as glamorous as the shooter, but it is also an extremely important role.
According to the previous handover, after changing the drum, the loader will remind the shooter to attack the area where the target is gathered to improve the combat efficiency. But this time it was a little different, and the loader, having finished changing the magazine, shouted to the shooter: "Save it!" We're running out of ammo! ”
"What did you say?" Since the first sentence is different, the reply is naturally different, although the loader uses the same voice as usual, or even slightly louder, but the shooter still doesn't seem to hear clearly.
"I said we're running out of ammo!" The loader shouted at his top voice this time.
"No, I didn't ask that!" The shooter gritted his teeth and continued, "I mean, where are our bullets?" Did you lend it to someone else? ”
"You're stupid! When has this been? The loader retorted loudly, "I guess we're okay, maybe someone has run out of ammunition and is looking around for bullets!" ”
"Phew!" The shooter stammered: "Then you can show me your box of bullets, if you lose a shot, see if I go back and don't kill you!" ”
The two of them just looked at me and said it one by one, and they saw that they were about to finish half of the drum. It's not that the shooters don't cherish it, but the German offensive at this time is so fierce that if you just think about saving ammunition, I really don't know if they will live to the time when they run out of ammunition.
It was already half an hour after Natalia's encounter with the Germans, and although there was occasional good news from the Soviet army, there was no way for them to get out of the trap immediately. And the few support units it has discharged are still on the way, and judging from their size, they are close to a drop in the bucket for the battle in front of them. As long as it is not the large forces of the Soviet army that come directly to it, then there will be no suspense about the outcome of this battle.
After the intense consumption of heavy weapons and the reduction in the frequency of their use, the ammunition consumption of small arms became faster in order to withstand the pressure from the German army. Submachine guns or shotguns, which can't play a role for the time being due to distance problems, are put aside for the time being, and the rifles can still support it because of the rate of fire on the ground, but the machine guns are already a little unbearable.
As the loader said, the better-off machine-gun point probably had a few to a dozen drums, but the worse machine-gun point had completely bottomed out of ammunition. They had no choice but to run around the position looking for bullets. However, although they are brothers who fight together, few people want to share the ammunition in their hands with their teammates at this time. Especially for those machine gun points that were already small, their loaders hid the boxes where they stored ammunition tightly, for fear that someone would come and steal their precious ammunition.
Some people may say that at this time they are all grasshoppers on the same rope, and if the defeat is definitely the end of total annihilation, then the ammunition or something, there is too much meaning to stay in their own hands. However, the actual situation is not like that, and it is precisely because of this crisis situation that people need weapons as their psychological sustenance.
As we mentioned earlier, a soldier would rather be killed by a single shot while holding a loaded machine gun than be killed by a single shot with his bare hands. It was a humiliating death, at least in their own eyes.
Faced with this situation, the officers who were responsible for leading the team only slowly took off their military hats, looked at the battlefield not far away with gunsmoke, and sighed deeply - after this battle, whether they win or lose, they will be praised as a group of heroic soldiers. However, in the final analysis, this is just an inconspicuous battle, a battle with little strategic necessity to speak of. And the valiant warriors appear every day, and in the end, who can remember them except their weeping families?
Of course, this is also the result of the best of the best, and no one can now confirm that the battle will end in the victory of the Soviets, even if from the overall situation now, it is true that they will have some upper hand on the riverside.
And if the battle is defeated, it is possible that the major and Natalia who gave this order will be held accountable, but what is the use of this? No matter who is held accountable, the lives of these soldiers will never be recovered, and no matter how many irresponsible commanders are shot, their heroic souls will not rest in peace. In this cursed, blood-soaked land, the elegy of tragedy will become an eternal melody, perhaps forgotten, but never gone......
But at this moment of helplessness and sadness, the Germans suddenly slowed down the pressure of the attack and began to retreat. Although all the Soviet soldiers did not believe their eyes at first, what they saw was not an illusion, but a real situation, and the Germans were really retreating at this time!
