Chapter 143 Battle in a Desperate Situation 3 Emergency

Seeing that the staff officer looked out of breath like this, Chief of Staff Plavio hurriedly said, "You drink saliva first and take a rest." www.biquge.info The staff officer immediately reported after resting for a while: "Division commander, there is an accident at the central railway station, now it has been attacked by the German night army, and half of the position has been lost, Second Lieutenant Ivan of the 3rd Company of the 5th Regiment has been killed, and most of the troops have suffered casualties, and now the support unit of the reconnaissance battalion and other units are engaged in battle with the German army!" ”

"What!" Everyone at the division headquarters was stupid when they heard the report at once, it was not strange that the German army attacked at night, but it actually made its own side suffer such a big loss!

What's going on? Andrei said: "Didn't I send a reconnaissance battalion, why didn't I find out about the German sneak attack in time?" ”

The staff officer handed over the document and said that a special force of three hundred men had been sent to raid our defensive line

Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but feel a little incredible...... This is not because Germany will also have special forces, after all, Germany at this time is very developed militarily, and their tactical thinking will also be affected by their own special operations, so it is naturally not surprising that there will be their own special forces.

In fact, the most taboo thing for special forces is positional warfare, because once they enter this kind of anxious war, special forces will not be able to wield the tactics of fighting quickly and withdrawing quickly under the close coordination of all arms. So it's almost like an ordinary army.

The Germans actually sent special forces to sneak attack the positions of the front!

And the next words of the staff officer shocked Andrei even more: "The German army is extraordinary in combat, not only do they have more advanced equipment than us. There is also the assistance of a large number of long-range artillery ......"

"The Germans are more advanced in equipment than ours?" Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Yes!" The staff officer nodded: "In terms of rifles, the Germans seem to have used a new rifle that is very similar to ours. And their sniper rifle is a Mauser 98k sniper rifle with a longer range, and we suffer a lot in firepower! ”

Andrei keenly noticed a rifle that looked like ours, so he quickly asked: "It looks like our rifle, how does the front line know?" The staff officer hurriedly replied: "We have captured one of these rifles, the reconnaissance battalion has already sent someone to send it, according to the report, this gun is very similar to the gun of the direct team you brought with the division commander!" ”

Much like the AK47 rifle, it is the STG44 assault rifle, some people think that the specific design of the AK-47 borrows from the STG-44, although there are many people who hold this view, but in fact, the structure of the two is completely different, and it needs to be understood that the final AK-47 is an assault rifle of purebred Soviet blood. And not the "Soviet version of STG-44" as many people imagined.

Although later sources say that the STG-44 has a slower rate of fire at close range, because it uses short rifle bullets, the barrel jumps significantly when firing continuously, and it is not as easy to control as a submachine gun. If at 50 meters, compared to the MP-40 submachine gun, the STG44 is inferior. But many of the Soviet troops on the front line are single-shot Mosin Nagant rifles, and of course they can't deal with the assault rifles used by the German special forces in terms of firepower!

Firepower, now it was necessary to give enough support to the central station, so he immediately asked Plavio to inform the artillery regiment to immediately transfer the howitzers and flying thunder guns to the central station!

Come to the Central Station

An hour earlier, the Germans had sent an assault force to sneak up on the defenders of the central railway station

This assault on the position was specially sent by the Germans to send special forces, led by the SS Lieutenant Colonel Herbert, who continued to touch forward, and at a distance of two hundred meters, there were Soviet sentinels!

Step by step, slowly walking over, these soldiers of the special forces, who have long been experienced in a hundred battles, quietly walked behind each other, without making a sound, followed, suddenly got up, covered each other's mouths with one hand, took out a shining saber with the other, and cut each other's throats.

The sentry began to convulse in an instant, and the Soviet soldier wanted to breathe, but the lack of oxygen in his lungs was getting bigger and bigger.

"Ding!" At this moment, a soft voice appeared in the silent night sky, and the special soldier was stunned for a moment.

Damn the Soviets!

Ordinary people, when their throats are cut, they will subconsciously cover their throats and want to continue breathing, which is human instinct, and this guy, at the moment of his life, went to pull the grenade ring on his body away!

"Boom!" A German special forces soldier finished with the explosion.

"Change tactics and attack!" Herbert shouted loudly, now, the sound of the explosion woke up the Soviets, the intended sneak attack was miscalculated, but even if it is attacked, its own side will take advantage, because its own hand-to-hand firepower is very fierce!

Storm!

"Bang, boom." The assault rifle in his hand burst out a series of tongues of fire, and the Soviet soldier in the other post was hit like this, screaming and falling.

At the same time, the German snipers were also looking for traces of their peers, a Soviet sniper had just shot and killed a German special forces, but he was killed by the German sniper at once, and then the Germans threw grenades while shooting, and the powerful fire of the assault rifle caught the soldiers of the guards off guard, and Ensign Ivan and the soldiers were killed by bullets in the chest as soon as they entered the position!

At the same time, the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion who were originally sent to sneak attack the Germans immediately entered the battle, but the Germans were strong in combat, and there were assault rifles, and the German special forces would also call for artillery support, so the position was lost in half at once, fortunately, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the Germans did not dare to continue to call for artillery support for their own safety, and the combat distance was close, and the submachine guns and light machine guns equipped with the reconnaissance battalion began to play a role, and the firepower in the distance of meters was not necessarily stronger than the submachine guns, This made Lieutenant Colonel Herbert very depressed, and the Soviet army that came to support was actually equipped with a large number of submachine guns, both Popov and the German army's own MP40, and there were also a lot of DP light machine guns, which reached dozens of meters of firefight, so that the own side equipped with assault rifles was not too cheap, Herbert was also secretly scolding Paulus for letting these SS elites do the work of scouts, he felt that his opponent should be the special forces of the Soviet army!

The fierce battle between the two sides continued, and the special forces now became the attacking infantry, and at the same time, the fighters who returned to the division headquarters to report the news also arrived, and at the same time they brought a rifle that their comrades exchanged for their lives, and at a glance at the appearance of this gun, Andrei immediately found that it was really stg44, which appeared in advance, and the staff officers next to him were also dumbfounded, Plavio took Andrei's assault rifle and put the two guns together, like a real thing!

But when the two guns were taken apart, they quickly noticed the difference, although both had curved magazines, the air duct was above the barrel, and the sights were higher. The curved surface of the arc magazine is a functional requirement, because the taper of the closing part of the intermediate cartridge case is larger, and the arc magazine is used to avoid ammunition supply failure.

Both the STG44 and the Situation Rifle had a hammer-type firing mechanism, the hammer was propelled by a helical spring. But the installation method of these two guns was different: the firing mechanism of the new rifle was fixed in the receiver, the trigger guard was mounted at the bottom of the receiver, and the grip was only screwed to the receiver as a wooden part, without which the function of the gun was not affected; And the firing mechanism, launch base, grip of the STG44 is an assembly, which is connected to the rear of the magazine slot with a pin, and there is also a pin behind that connects the grip, the butt to the rear of the open receiver.

So in fact, this is really not a gun, and it is impossible to say who copied whom!

Andrei immediately said: "Report on this matter in Moscow immediately, is there any support to arrive?" (To be continued.) )
