Chapter 182
Andrei put down the phone fiercely and yelled: "Damn the Germans, they are attacking the central railway station again now, and they are still in coordination with the infantry tank, and they won't stop fighting until night!" "Ah, what should I do!" Everyone is thinking that the Central Railway Station is not as direct as Mamayev Gang and does not even have a geographical advantage, but his important position determines that he must hold on, that is, there is no one, even if this half of the position is very valuable now!
After thinking about it, Andrei decided to call for help! So he hurriedly called the headquarters of the army group!
And here, the entanglement between the two sides continues, some time ago came to Stalingrad to the airborne division of a reinforced battalion is now urgently going to the central railway station after crossing the river to support, yes airborne troops, Stalingrad is now the most critical place, the Soviet base camp did not hesitate to put the elite airborne troops as ground troops into it, in 1927, the Soviet army used transport planes to drop troops in Central Asia, in one fell swoop annihilated Batuma and other rebels, is the first real sense of airborne warfare. In 1930, the Soviet Airborne Forces officially established the world's first official paratrooper unit. In the USSR with the efforts of the founder of the paratroopers, Onid Minov, August 2, 1930. For the first time, a paratrooper detachment was parachuted during a military exercise, and this day also became the Day of the Soviet Airborne Forces, which was also the first airborne detachment in the world. During World War II, the Soviet Union, Germany and the United States all used airborne troops several times.
The selection of the airborne forces in the USSR is no lighter than that of Germany and the United States, and the airborne troops are all elite light infantry, and they are definitely the elite of the light troops! The combat effectiveness was higher than that of ordinary infantry, and they all carried weapons such as submachine guns, light machine guns, and bazookas.
For the paratroopers of the Soviet Union, fighting behind enemy lines, all kinds of situations can be encountered, so they are also the most well-trained in individual combat! Only the best infantry can join the Airborne Forces!
Therefore, the commanders and fighters fearlessly went to the central railway station to support.
At this time, there was a fortification group on the road, which was originally four houses, from the outside it was an ordinary masonry house, the walls of the houses were dug out of a lot of shooting holes, sandbags were piled up high, the face roof was covered with sand, there must be sandbags in the house, and the series of armor-piercing shells of the bazooka was good for hard targets, but it was very weak for such soft and hard targets.
There is a machine gun in the fortifications rebuilt by the house, which is constantly spitting out tongues of fire at this time, and the fortifications have almost no shooting dead ends, and the four fortifications cover each other, forming a three-dimensional crossfire network, it is indeed very difficult to overcome, just glance at it, the company commander has a spectrum in his heart, and after turning around, he immediately made a gesture from the fireman.
"The second company just stopped the attack and prepared to suppress the enemy's fire."
When the company commander gave an order over the walkie-talkie, the fireman pointed at the secondary shooter next to him, who was carrying a cloudburst bomb.
Cloudburst bombs, also known as fuel-air bombs, are filled with air fuel, commonly known as cloudburst agents.
When the cloudburst bomb explodes, it makes full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion area, first explodes, throws away the cloudburst agent, mixes it with the air, and then detonates it twice, and then produces a cloud explosion.
The detonation damage is caused by the overpressure and high temperature generated by the detonation, and because the oxygen will be consumed during the detonation, an anoxic region can be formed within the range of action.
In short, the cloudburst bomb has little effect in the open area, but for a closed bunker, even if the people inside are not killed, they will be turned into barbecue meat by the instantaneous high temperature.
This is, of course, what Engineer Kuusinen brought to the table.
All types of bazooka bombs are greatly affected by wind deviation, and the body of the cloud burst bomb is thicker and larger, and it is more affected by wind deviation, but the fireman is mainly trained to be bazooka, for him, when using a bazooka, correcting the wind deviation according to the size of the wind is a matter of an instant, and there is basically no need to think about it.
The fireman took the bazooka, walked to the corner of the half-blown wall, quickly took a look, and then nodded to the company commander.
The company commander immediately shouted: "Suppress the enemy's fire, fire!" ”
All the light and heavy weapons opened fire on the enemy's fortifications, and the guns were fired through the firing holes, and at the moment when the enemy's fire was temporarily suppressed, the fireman jumped out and, after a short aiming, fired the cloudburst shells.
The company commander was almost 40 or less than 50 meters away from the position of the fortification group, and at this distance, it was really difficult to get a rocket into a shooting hole 40 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide.
It's hard, but you have to try, and if you can't get the cloud blast bombs in, you'll have to have the Demoman blow them up one by one if you want to deal with the enemy's fortifications.
The fireman did not disappoint the company commander, the cloud burst bomb accurately entered a fortification, first a small explosion, and after waiting for about a second, a pillar of fire suddenly erupted from all the firing holes of the fortification, because the distance was too close, the sound and light came almost at the same time, and at the same time as seeing the fire, the company commander heard a dull explosion.
At the same time as he felt a shock under his feet, the fortifications hit by the cloudburst bomb were already enveloped in black smoke, and the fireman hit first.
Ignoring the cheers of the crowd around him, the fireman reached out and gave the bazooka to someone else, and took over an RPG with a cloudburst bomb again.
After nodding to the company commander again, the company commander said, "Suppress!" ”
With the first time, the next thing others will know what to do, after destroying the enemy's first fortification, the temporarily stopped fire suppression began again, and this time the fireman changed direction, seeing that the enemy could not shoot, immediately dodged out and fired the second cloudburst shell.
The cloudburst bomb hit the fortifications accurately again, but after waiting for a while, the expected explosion did not happen, and only two or three seconds later, the company commander reacted and shouted: "The cloudburst bomb failed to detonate, machine gunner, tracer bullet!" ”
The cloudburst must have hit the fortifications, but there was no explosion, there were many situations, it could be a dud, the cloudburst bomb did not explode at all, or it could be that the first explosion was successful, when the explosion that detonated the air fuel did not occur.
The company commander shouted to the machine gunner in the hope of detonating the air fuel with tracer bullets, if it was a complete dud, the tracer bullets would be useless, but if the cloud burst agent had been thrown, the tracer bullets might be able to detonate the cloud explosive agent, and the company commander had already seen white smoke spilling from the firing holes of the enemy fortifications, and this phenomenon showed that the cloud burst charge had already dispersed.
In fact, the company commander didn't know if tracer bullets could ignite air fuel, or cloud explosives, but he wanted to try, in case it worked.
The Heavy fired only a few rounds, and before he could adjust the trajectory and enter the fortifications, the explosion occurred, because the tracer projectiles ignited the cloud burst agent that floated out of the shooting hole, and after the cloud burst agent outside the fortifications was ignited, the deflagration immediately spread to the fortifications.
There was another dull explosion, and although the process was a little more tortuous, the result was the same.
Finding that the German stronghold was out of fire, the company commander shouted: "Go ahead and quickly go to the central station!" ”
