Chapter 145: Battle in a Desperate Situation (5) White-knuckle Battle

In five minutes, the howitzer battalion soon opened fire, and Andrei sacrificed the old routine of special forces as artillery position observers, and ordered all the fighters of the special forces and reconnaissance battalion headed by Mhammad to go out to reconnoiter the German army's bearing coordinates in the rear, and then report these coordinates to the howitzer battalion a few kilometers behind at any time.

The 12 105mm howitzers and 6 150mm howitzers, which had already adjusted their firing parameters, immediately roared, and the shells flew straight towards the position of the central railway station with a sharp whistle.

"Not good!" Once again, Herbert heard the familiar sound of howitzers overhead, but this time it didn't sound good. Herbert didn't have time to dodge, only to hear a series of deafening loud noises begin near him. The ground shook as if it were shaking, and Herbert saw his fortifications and soldiers shattered, and everyone looked for shelter in a panic.

Herbert's fortifications had been badly damaged by the continuous bloody battles, and in the face of large-caliber howitzers, these fortifications were no different from papier-mâché. With a salvo of howitzers, the fortifications at the front smashed to pieces. Dirt mixed with stones and steel bars covered the air, bunkers were gone, and the soldiers were either blown to bones or dragged their stumps and legs to moan limply in the fluffy dirt.

Herbert was stunned! Herbert, who was shocked to the point that his ears were a little deaf, reacted for a long time and asked the signal corps to set up a radio station for help! However, the Soviet artillery did not give him this opportunity, and immediately after the first exploratory salvo, the guns corrected their ballistics and elevation angles according to the instructions sent back by the forward observation posts. This one simply came with a three-shot rapid fire.

In just a few minutes, the hillside where Herbert was stationed had completely changed. Loud noises one after another, light waves caused by vibrations can be faintly seen, there are craters everywhere, burning wood and weeds everywhere, and the living devil special forces hold their heads tightly and lie on the ground, and some of them are a little clever and hide in the crater.

Herbert, who was suddenly attacked, took advantage of the interval in the artillery fire and hurriedly organized the troops to retreat, due to the time constraints, but the retreat was also the road to death, because he could almost clearly see that the other party was using the howitzers produced by the Third Reich and firing frantically at those rudimentary fortifications like a roll call.

"Damn it!" The grief and indignation in Herbert's heart cannot be described in words, the elite of the empire that he had worked so hard to train was covered by such heavy artillery fire on the Soviet positions. The Russians are simply crazy, they actually fire guns regardless of their own people, what a bunch of Satans who deserve to go to hell!

The shells fired by the 105 and 150 howitzers quickly covered the position, and the Germans did not expect that the Soviet army would open fire at this time, and lie down immediately when encountering artillery bombardment, which is the most untrue link in the film and television drama. There are two main killing mechanisms of artillery shells, one is the overpressure killing of the shock wave generated by the explosion, and the other is the killing of shrapnel flying at high speed after the explosion. Lying on the ground or hiding behind bunker may be able to avoid fragments using a trigger fuse shell, but it will not be able to avoid the overpressure caused by the shell shock wave, and it will be difficult to dodge the fragments if the shell uses an air-blown fuse. This is also why when the Korean War reached the stalemate stage, our volunteers had to dig tunnels, and most of the personnel hid in the tunnels. In the Sino-Vietnamese border war in the 1980s, both sides also dug tunnels on their positions, and those who could not dig tunnels with limited conditions also had to dig cat's ear holes in the trenches to hide people as much as possible.

Even hiding in the tunnels, there were reports of soldiers being shaken to death during massive shelling. Therefore, some troops also have tips that when the enemy is shelling, do not let the belly against the ground and the back against the tunnel wall, so as not to be shocked to death.

And now there is nowhere to hide in the position, and the fierce shelling destroys everything, and Mhammad, who is watching all this from the side, after the artillery fire is extended, puts on the bayonet and grits his teeth and shouts: "Get on the bayonet, charge!" ”

"Kill!" As soon as Mhammad shouted, he took his assault rifle and rushed forward with his fighters!

Kill! Walking vigorously, dodging the shot of a guy, and galloping in front of a German soldier in a few steps, Mhammad had only one movement, horse step, and pushed forward with both hands!

"Pounce!" The bayonet plunged directly into the front chest of this guy, who looked at his chest incredulously, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

The bloodletting groove on the bayonet, blood dripping down. Mhammad flew up with a kick, kicked the guy away, pulled out his bayonet, and followed, murderously pounced on another target!

Kill! The rest of the warriors also pounced, carrying their rifles with bayonets or brandishing sapper shovels, their faces grim.

When the scuffle came together, the Germans did not dare to shoot casually, and everywhere there was the sound of bayonets entering the body and the screams of being stabbed by bayonets.

The Germans had already suffered heavy casualties in the front shelling, many of them were wounded and dying and then stabbed to death by the Soviets or cut off their heads with a sapper shovel!

Of course, the German soldiers have a strong ability to fight alone, but because they have lost more than half of them, Herbert retreated with the rest, these are the elite of the SS is seed, and they can't be spelled out, but the two companies of the Wehrmacht who took over the position in the back also suffered heavy casualties in the shelling just now, and the result was that it couldn't be stopped under the impact of the Soviet army, and the German artillery didn't dare to fire at their own people!

White-knuckle combat is not only a fight for technology but also a fight for the number of people, but also a fight momentum, dare to see the bayonet red, people who have had a military career are no stranger to such a scene: let you hold a bayonet against the grass target over and over again to practice the "stab" action, many people feel that such a simple action is not necessary for the soldiers to do it repeatedly, as if they should be allowed to practice more "stunt" moves. In fact, it is this simplest tactical move that embodies the core of stabbing combat. In a stabbing battle between two rival soldiers, since both sides are conscious, active and resistant, in addition to the length of the gun, human strength and other material things, this kind of battle is more important than the contest of ideas and wills between two people. This requires above all that the person participating in the stab must not have a trace of timidity, because any timidity will lead to hesitation, lack of concentration and slow reaction. The second is the contest between ideas, both of them are calculating the next move of the other party, any mistake in judgment is fatal, requiring the personnel participating in the war to shoot the enemy by surprise, to be fast, to be accurate, to be ruthless; It is required that once the gun is fired, it must be as fast as lightning, first of all, it must overwhelm the enemy in momentum, and it must be selfless and selfless. In other words, when attacking the enemy, he only kills the enemy without thinking about his own safety, which is actually a requirement to have the determination to die and not be afraid of casualties. If the enemy dies under a single blow, he will be reborn; If it misses, it means that the fighter plane is fleeting, which can lead to a reversal of the situation and death under the enemy's pistol. As with other forms of combat, offense is always the first and most important means in stab combat.

In addition to bayonets and sapper shovels, which are also sharp weapons for white-knuckle warfare, and now after brutal battles, the commanders and fighters of the Siberian Volunteer Division have full courage and combat effectiveness, after shelling, the German army suffered heavy losses, and the counterattack troops led by Mhammad successfully regained their positions. But he looked at the sky and there were still two hours before dawn, the Germans would inevitably launch a counterattack Now for the Soviet army, there will be a bloody battle tomorrow, this time I directly fought the bayonet, I really don't know if I can stand it, and then Andrei ordered the reconnaissance battalion to withdraw from the position and the other units of the 5th Regiment took over the position, and Captain Dragan was lucky not to be killed but was seriously wounded and carried off the position, but the fighting continued in Stalingrad!
