Chapter 642: Defending the Factory District

Two days ago, the rocket artillery of the Red Army cleared the way for the infantry units to attack, and now the Germans are returning to their opponents in the same way!

The Germans gathered the Germans on the line of Berkichev, Komyrnik, Barr and Vinnitsa as quickly as possible, and attacked Kazatin in three directions at the same time, and the main attack position was placed in the north!

In order to recapture the battle-worthy city, the Germans committed almost all the suppressive firepower they could muster in a short period of time, including more than a regiment of rocket artillery units. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But the explosion that forced Lin Jun into the basement for shelter was not a rocket shell, but a 150-mm long-range heavy artillery of the German railway train artillery unit!

Factory area, temporary silence after covered shelling.

All the commanders who were alive were shouting to their men to prepare for the impending infantry attack of the Germans. Fertov dug out his instructor from under a large piece of asbestos tile on the side, but fortunately, Pavlov only smashed his head on the broken brick, and there was not much of a problem except for a little dizziness.

"I can't see anything!"

It took a while for Feltoff to understand what his partner was shouting: it was raining, and except for a small area illuminated by the fire, the wilderness in the distance was black and gray, and with the dense explosions like popping beans in the rear, it was impossible to even confirm whether the Germans had touched it.

"Ilyushchenko, flares!"

Both the mortar and his auxiliary shooter survived, but the auxiliary shooter had a broken arm and was being bandaged with the help of others.

"One hundred meters, three hundred meters, eight hundred meters, one thousand five hundred meters, four shots!"

"Understood!"

Ilyushchenko took out a flare from the shell box that had been prepared long ago on the side, with a range of a hundred meters!

In night operations, the priority of firing flares from front-line deployed mortars is higher than that of explosive shells, and the troops rely on it as their eyes, and Ilyushchenko puts flares in the most convenient position.

With a "bang", the shell flew out of the muzzle, the sound was not loud, the ****** was set a long time ago, and there was no need for the shooter to rush to regroup at night, this is where Ilyushchenko has experience.

When a glaring point of light appears in the air, a second flare also flies out of the muzzle.

Ilyushchenko adjusted the angle of fire as fast as he could, and four flares were fired out in one go.

Under the dazzling light, Feltoff and the others could faintly see the situation in the distance - about 800 meters away, many German troops were approaching their positions under the cover of tanks!

I can't see how many people and how many tanks there are, but I feel that the number will not be less!

"Get ready to fight! Ilyushchenko, shoot all the high-explosive shells! ”

Hearing the order of the company commander, the mortar operator adjusted the angle of fire and fired the shell at a rate of almost one shot every two seconds, 800 meters away! Pavlov's instructors all became Ilyushchenko's assistants, and although it didn't take long for the flares to lose their effect, the impact points of those high-explosive shells would not fly!

The sound of artillery shells whistling in the air was heard, and Ilyushchenko could hear 82-mm shells fired from behind his own side.

A few seconds later, a lot of light appeared in the air that were much brighter than the 50mm mortar flares of the M40 type - the mortars in the rear that had not been destroyed were reorganized to illuminate the front-line infantry!

Mixed with the light of the flares, dense 82-mm high-explosive shells fell on distant targets, and the flames of the explosions were one after another!

At the same time, the artillery groups of their own guns, disrupted by the covering shelling of the German rocket artillery, also began to shell in clusters, but the impact points were not concentrated somewhere, but dispersed one by one: according to the orders of the command, the covering shelling turned into direct support for infantry operations.

Almost at the same time as the German artillery shells fired flares in the factory area, they smashed into the ruins of the factory again, this time there were explosions everywhere!

Even the flares fired by the Germans appeared in the air in the factory area, and the sky of the entire battlefield was almost white!

The old Makqin and the new general-purpose machine guns collected by the first battalion began to fire, and the T-46 tracer bullet mixed in every five ordinary heavy bullets fired was scattered all over the front of the battlefield!

And the bunkers of Filtov and others were also shattered from time to time by machine gun bullets fired by German machine guns, and their heads "hissed" over 7.92 mm caliber bullets. It was clear that the Germans had adopted the standard tactics of attacking on the plains, and the attacking infantry did not affect the angle of fire from their machine guns.

Fertov's troops had not yet begun to shoot, except for observation, and kept their center of gravity low to avoid being hit by shrenchnel and bullets - the assault rifles in their hands were not yet ready to shoot.

On the right flank came the sound of artillery fire - only one of the several ZIS-3s was now functional, the other three were either crushed in the rubble or the gunners suffered heavy losses.

Klochkovtiev commanded the only working anti-tank gun, aiming and firing non-stop!

From time to time, the shells of the Germans fell around the anti-tank gun positions that were already exposed, but they could not dodge, could not be timid, could not retreat! Even if a shell explodes next to you, you can't hide, the gunner is just aiming, loading, firing!

"One hundred meters! Fire! ”

Everyone who could still move started shooting, and even those with a broken arm were firing on the north side!

Feltov emptied the magazine in the gun with a few long shots, quickly loaded one and re-fired! Several rockets with tail flames whizzed overhead and landed among the Germans, one of which set a tank rushing up from the right flank of the railroad into flames!

Just over ten seconds later, the Red Army on the front line densely revealed grenades, and similarly, German long-handled grenades were also thrown into the Red Army positions like rain. When the dense explosions are over, the defenders and attackers are intertwined, and there is no terrain advantage on either side!

Filtov and Pavlov had already jumped out of their bunkers, jumping back and forth in front of various obstacles, constantly knocking down the Germans who appeared in front of them. In the same way, this scene appeared on the north side of the entire factory area, like a meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of both sides!

"Old man, I can't stand it!"

"If you can't stand it, you have to fight!"

The rifle in his hand was empty, and the magazine bag was empty, so Filtov pulled out his Tokarev pistol, "snapped" two shots to knock down a German soldier who had emerged from the broken wall, and threw a grenade at the other end of the wall.

He put the pistol on his waist, picked up the submachine gun in the hands of the Germans, and under the cover of Pavlov, took off the magazine bag from the corpse and carried it on his body.

The two of them walked along the ruins wall to the right, and just after drilling through the hole in the warehouse, they saw a dozen or so Germans outflanking the artillery position - Klochkovtiev and several people were relying on the artillery baffle and the remaining cement pillars on the side to counterattack!

Roughly aiming, the two of them who suddenly appeared quickly knocked down the outflanked Germans, and quickly joined the artillerymen with their waists.

Before he could speak, the shouts of "Ula" and dense gunfire were heard from the left rear direction, and reinforcements from the 1075 regiment arrived.
