If it weren't for the sniper's reminder before he fainted, Filtov really didn't pay attention to the unusual machine guns used by the German army he encountered today - a very small number of MG13s captured by the Germans in previous battles, and the most was the MG34 machine gun; I have also seen a small number of Maxims used by the German army, and I don't know where the Germans got them.

After the Red Army captured the German machine gun, as long as the ammunition could be replenished, it would generally be kept for its own use, especially the MG34 machine gun, which was the favorite captured German machine gun of the platoon and above troops.

In addition to the above, the main front-line troops of the German army also had a lot of MG26 squad machine guns in their hands, and Filtov's company used two of them some time ago. Unlike machine guns such as the MG34, the MG26 is fed with a 30-round arc magazine mounted on the upper part of the machine gun or a straight 20-round magazine.

In recent years, although the front-line Red Army infantry has become accustomed to using the new squad machine gun with ammunition and AK47, and also likes its 100-round cartridge box, they can bring it with them every time they capture the MG26 light machine gun. Although the 20-round magazine of the MG26 squad light machine gun was seriously insufficient, and the number of captured 30-round magazines was not large, it was still very popular with some machine gunners because of its high shooting accuracy.

What some grassroots commanders of the Red Army did not know was that these German squad machine guns were not products of the local German arsenal, but were produced by the Czech Brno arsenal after the German occupation of the Czech Republic in 1938.

Its original name is even more famous in the world - ZB26!

From 38 onwards, the Czechs not only produced ordnance such as the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun and the Kar98k Mauser rifle for the German army, but also continued to produce the ZB series of light machine guns for Germany. Germany incorporated the ZB-26/30 into its standard armament, which it called the MG26/30(t).

After using the ZB26, the German soldiers liked this light machine gun, but they also suffered from the lack of vitality of the 20-round magazine: some machine gunners often changed the magazine suddenly when there were still a few rounds in the magazine during battle, so that the opponent could not figure out the gap between the fire stops. However, this was always a stopgap solution, and the Germans simply expanded the production of 30-round arc magazines: before the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, the Brno arsenal was already producing 30-round arc magazines in small quantities.

However, the production speed of the 30-round magazine cannot be compared with the production speed of the 20-round magazine production line, which leads to the fact that most of the magazines for the MG26 captured by Feltoff and others are 20-round models.

Among the various types of German machine guns encountered by Filtov and others, except for Makqin, which would carry out continuous strafing, the other machine guns rarely carried out long-term continuous fire, and generally combined long and short bursts. As for the MG26, a slightly longer burst will run out of bullets.

The German machine gun that they couldn't hold their heads up just now was different from any German machine gun they had seen before, it was the sound, and the firing noise of the several machine guns they were equipped with was also very different!

In the common sound of "............" or "pop" of gunfire, the sound of machine gun fire is like the sound of tearing linen as Roman puts it, which means that the machine gun has an extremely high rate of fire!

Coming back to his senses, Filtov realized that the young soldier who was holding his hand and dying was hit by a few bullets in a very short time, and the rate of fire could not be reached by either his own ПК 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun or the original machine guns of the German army, and the Germans used long burst fire, which maintained an extremely high combat rate of fire, and could suppress enough on their side!

"The Germans are armed with new machine guns!" This conclusion flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he leaned over and dragged Roman back and handed it to the hygienist who crawled over.

"Send me to the back, I fainted." After saying that, he returned to his original position.

The Germans suppressed the mortar shells, and on the left, the roar of the tank engines could be heard, but the anti-tank shells fired from a few hundred meters away on the left effectively contained the German tank assault.

In the glow of flares, Filtov could faintly see that the German tanks seemed to be turning towards the north side of the factory area.

In this direction, the left flank is not in this way, but there is no need to worry: the infantry has enough bazookas in the ruins, and in such an environment as the factory area, the tin boxes will never rush with a bang unless their brains are hot: even if there is infantry cover, the tanks in the city in the dark are no match for the anti-tank infantry.

The gunfire slowly fell silent again, and the German commander probably understood the defensive intention of the Soviet army - to put it in a position that could not be up or down, not only to use the German army itself as a shield against rocket artillery, but also to gain a distance advantage in the support firepower of the defensive battle.

The distance between the factory area and the woods 3 kilometers away to the north became a vacuum node for the German tactical deployment, and at dawn, it was extremely difficult for the German troops who remained in the factory area to get follow-up support, and the Red Army's artillery fire could be well blocked, and even the machine gun fire became a ghost in the open area near the factory area!

It is also unrealistic to rush forward in one go, the Red Army has no less than one regiment of defensive forces on this side, and it is a fool's dream to gnaw it down all at once without the support of accurate artillery fire.

And what about retreat?

That's even more unlikely! The order is to resolutely occupy this area, and if it is now a firm foothold, it must not retreat.

The Germans were in a dilemma.

What to do?

Consumed! After daybreak, the Germans were able to receive accurate artillery support.

The infantry on both sides were waiting for dawn, but the heavy mortar company of the 1075th regiment did not seem to want to save all the ammunition until dawn: they had a full 5 base shells, one of which was the most suitable for use now.

After the gunners fired the first round of shells weighing 15.9 kilograms, the artillery observation post decided that the effect was not enough and did not completely suppress the German firepower. Although the shells were extremely lethal, the factory area was the ruins of thick reinforced concrete structures.

"With a heavy high-explosive shell!"

Following the order of the commander, the artillery groups immediately went into action. The aimer readjusts the shelling parameters because the grenade to be used is different from the one just used.

Several gunners, who were in charge of ammunition, removed heavy high-explosive shells from where they were placed.

The Type 41 120mm heavy mortar uses a heavy high-explosive shell like a long cylinder, and the gunner with a big waist and a round waist seems to have a little difficulty holding it!

It weighs up to 23 kg! The shells were made of steel, not cast iron, and the charge was almost twice as large as that of a normal grenade!

"900 meters away, aim complete!"

The running aimmen report aloud.

"Five shots per shot, rapid fire!"

There was nothing to do with the commander now, and when the fire was fired again, all shouts would be inaudible for a short time.

Stuffed into the muzzle, with the sound of steel grinding, soon a dull loud bang erupted, and cylindrical shells shot out of the muzzle.

The muzzle velocity is not large, and if it is during the day, you can even see the trajectory of the artillery shells in the air.
