Chapter 426: Hand-to-hand Combat (I)

The Soviets' way of attack, under normal circumstances, is artillery bombardment on the infantry, if they do not occupy the position, continue to bombard with artillery, and the infantry will continue to charge, I don't know what will happen to these Soviets.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

"Not good, it's the tanks of the Soviet army, prepare anti-tank guns and iron fists, fast, fast."

At this time, the Soviet tanks were at most a kilometer away from Piper's position, and Piper's 75mm anti-tank gun, because of the addition of a one-ton thick steel plate, required an artillery squad and an infantry squad to complete the movement and erection work.

There are not a lot of anti-tank guns in the "rookie battalion", there are only nine in total, and one battalion has such anti-tank guns, which is already a very high equipment rate, and the command is only half of them! The two infantry squads used their strength to drag the 75mm anti-tank gun out of the anti-gun hole, and by the time Piper and the others set up the anti-tank gun, the Soviet tanks were already less than 500 meters away from Piper's position.

There are quite a few Soviet tanks to attack Piper's defensive line, about more than 100 of them, these tanks are the latest American medium tanks - Sherman, early Sherman M4, M4A1, M4A2 early frontal armor thickness 51mm, 56 ° inclination, 51mm vertical side. The frontal armor of the turret is 76.2mm thick. The frontal armor of the late Sherman-type tank was 63.5mm thick and inclined at 47°. Side 51mm vertical. The frontal armor of the turret is 89mm thick.

Now the German army uses the Iron Fist model called the Iron Fist 30, and the range is because of Li Mo's strong request. It has reached one hundred and fifty meters, and the armor-piercing ability is 140 mm, this penetration is the same as in history, there is no change, but the range has been increased by Li Mo's request, the original is only a pitiful thirty meters range, and the applicability is greatly reduced, and the current Iron Fist 30 has a range of one hundred and fifty meters.

Iron Fist was the first individual anti-tank weapon, which can be said to be an epoch-making weapon, which allowed the infantry to face tanks. Don't be helpless. Take a look at several Iron Fists in history, the Iron Fist 30 has a range of 30m and an armor-piercing depth of 140mm, and the Tekken-60 has a range of 60m and an armor-piercing depth of 200mm, and the Iron Fist 100 has a range of 100m and an armor-piercing depth of 220mm. These iron fists can completely destroy all the tanks of the allies, but the range is a bit tragic. It's not that Germany can't make an iron fist that goes far. It's that something went wrong with the design idea.

Tekken Type 60 and Type 100 were omitted by Li Mo. The RPG developed directly, in fact, the RPG was developed by the Soviet Union on the basis of the Iron Fist, and the RPG now being studied by Germany cannot be compared with that of later generations. The armor-piercing ability is only 250 mm, and even with such armor-piercing ability, it can already completely blow up all the fronts of all tanks in World War II.

"Aim...... Fire...... Boom ......"

The German anti-tank guns opened fire, and the 75-mm anti-tank guns directly blew up the nine Shermans in front, and the Soviet infantry following behind was killed in a large area, and the political commissar behind the Soviet army continued to drive the other Soviet soldiers to charge desperately.

The Soviet infantry and tank coordinated operations, although not perfect, but also something like that:

"Ulla...... Ulla...... Boom...... Boom ......"

Soviet infantry followed the tanks like a tidal wave towards Piper's rookie battalion.

The Soviet tanks also began to counterattack violently, fortunately, the German anti-tank gun was equipped with thick steel plates, and it was tilted, and the 76 mm gun of the Sherman tank could not penetrate the front armor plate of the German anti-tank gun at all, this is the advantage of defense, although the 75 anti-tank gun with thick steel plates required two squads of people to move, but the survival effect was improved a lot.

"Four hundred meters...... Boom...... Boom ......"

Piper's mortars began to roar, dozens of various mortars were bombarded at the Soviet army, of course, these mortars could not destroy the Soviet Sherman tank, but they could hunt and kill the infantry that followed the Soviet tank charge, Piper's rookie battalion paid more attention to mortars, that was their famous battle, that is, it had an indissoluble relationship with mortars.

"Knock knock...... Boom...... Ulla, Ulla...... Boom...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”

Several Soviet soldiers were timid because the SS mortars were a bit fierce, and wanted to escape from the SS mortar firing range, "click...... Ahhhhh!!h The overseers behind them directly fired a fierce shot at these fleeing Soviet soldiers, and directly shot these Soviet deserters on the spot.

The combat style of the Soviet army is like this, not only in treating the enemy cruelly to their own people, which is related to Lao Maozi's national character.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The Soviets, relying on the large number of their tanks, still charged at Piper's position, accompanied by no less than 3,000 infantry, which was almost a reinforced infantry regiment. Piper's 75mm anti-tank guns fired continuously, and as long as the Sherman tank was hit, it was definitely a single shell that would be sent to the western sky, but the Sherman's 76mm tank guns, when they drove two hundred meters before the position, these guns were already able to penetrate the thick steel plate of the 75mm gun.

Because this is the Soviet Army's Sherman tank has been about 500 meters away from the anti-tank gun, the 75mm anti-tank front armor can no longer block Sherman's armor-piercing shells, when Piper's anti-tank was destroyed two, Piper hurriedly ordered his anti-tank soldiers to pull the anti-tank gun to the anti-artillery hole, and now it is the iron fist of the rookie battalion that plays a role.

"150 meters."

When the Soviet tanks and infantry charged to 150 meters, Piper did not order the SS to stand up and counterattack, Piper waited for the Soviet tanks to drive a hundred meters before ordering his soldiers to get up and attack. This is mainly determined by the range of the Iron Fist.

"One hundred meters, all attack."

All the rookie battalion soldiers squatting in the trench stood up in an instant and shot fiercely at the Soviet army with the weapons in their hands, the weapons in the hands of the rookie battalion were submachine guns and MG42 light machine guns, in addition to a large number of iron fists, and the infantry weapons of the Soviet army were not just rifles, but a lot of submachine guns, these Soviet troops were armed with ** sand submachine guns and British Stern submachine guns.

The British Stern submachine gun is the cheapest and easiest to produce submachine gun in the world, the Stern submachine gun is simple in design and low in cost, and is very suitable for mass production in wartime. It uses the internationally accepted 9mm "Pyrabrum" ammunition, and the magazine can be used with the German MP-40 submachine gun.

In order to cope with the German infantry firepower, the Stern submachine gun ordered by Churchill to be developed quickly finally came out in advance, and now Orsk has appeared, indicating that Britain is also vigorously supporting the Soviet Union.

"Click...... Click...... Sneer...... Sneer...... Boom ......"
