After the SU-76 was designed, most of it was incorporated into mixed self-propelled artillery regiments, and the main task was to provide close fire support to the infantry, while the anti-tank mission was the matter of those high-powered self-propelled guns, but it was also used in the war, and it was not once or twice used as an anti-tank weapon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The SU-76's low profile, excellent mobility, and low unit ground pressure allow it to effectively coordinate with infantry in difficult terrain such as swamps and forests, and can directly destroy pillboxes and enemy-fortified structures with fire. In urban warfare, street fighting has already been fought in Minsk, although its open roof is in danger of being attacked by opponents on the roof.

Originally, it was responsible for the task of direct fire support at close range, but it was the first time that the commanders and fighters of the 1st Division had seen the artillery at a distance of less than 300 meters from the target like this!

That commander is crazy! But the fighters love it, and that's exactly what they need! They need crazy self-propelled cannon commanders!

The dense machine-gun bullets on the building were fired at the SU-76, and at least one MG34 was strafing it, and the sparks from the bullets were like festive fireworks! SUDDENLY, A WHISTLING ROCKET FLEW FROM THE GERMAN POSITION WITH A TAIL OF SMOKE AND LANDED TWO METERS NEXT TO THE SU-76!

SU-76 braked suddenly, the muzzle of the gun turned slightly, and with a loud bang, there was a violent explosion in an instant at the window where the machine gun was on the third floor 300 meters away!

Direct aiming shelling, 76.2 mm cannon for direct roll call!

The Red Army soldiers, who were being pinned down behind barricades and ruins, waved their fists at such senseless self-propelled cannons: well done! Damn!

"Pavel, give me one by one!" The commander of the car shouted to the gunner, another high-explosive shell has been loaded, close the bolt and fire!

300 meters away, the building components and rubble that were blown up by the shells flew all over the sky, and the Red Army soldiers closest to the target subconsciously lowered their bodies, so as not to be hit by the small debris flying over in a daze!

An infantry captain ran behind the SU-76 and knocked it on the hull with a stone.

Shouting into the half-open fighting compartment at the back: "Comrade commander, knock out those firing points of the Germans, and you will follow us later!" ”

The commander turned his head and said, "Okay, we'll follow you!" ”

The captain ran away at once, not paying attention to the captain's rank—who had time to look closely, and besides, the smoky and the hat he wore could not see clearly.

The infantry fighters did not notice that the self-propelled cannon, which arrived in time and was the first to rush up, had two antennas and was a command vehicle.

When the fifth shell was fired, another SU-76 appeared on the street and immediately threw itself into shelling, less than 40 seconds before the first one appeared!

The obstacle that the infantry could not overcome with heavy losses was solved in less than forty seconds by direct artillery fire! That's the power of a cannon!

The building, which was originally relatively intact, was already several large holes, and it was still emitting gray smoke, and it was all concrete slag and dust flying in the sky! The infantry again charged along the streets to the sound of "Ula", and the two cannons behind them fired two more rounds before they followed, and the upper gear followed behind the infantrymen.

By the time the first SU-76 stormed the intersection, the infantry had already partially rushed into the buildings on both sides. Suddenly, something black and white appeared on a side road on Workers' Avenue - a German tank!

"50 meters from the street on the right, German tanks!" The commander just showed half of his head to observe the situation on the right flank of the crossroads, and almost shouted such a sentence with his greatest strength!

The driver didn't have time to think about it, the right lever pulled back sharply, the left lever pushed forward, and in the violent friction between the track and the ground, the SU-76 made a 90-degree sharp turn to the right like a toy car!

Just when the steel hull had not completely stopped, the 76.2mm cannon above let out a roar, and at the same time, a violent explosion occurred 100 meters away! The shell hit the turret of the German tank directly, which had not yet turned!

As soon as the cannon sounded, "Rush up, ram!" ”

The driver has already put up the forward gear - the cannon is loaded with high-explosive shells just now, and there is his own infantry behind him, and if he retreats, he will press his own people! It's all about speed, and a high-explosive bomb at a distance of 50 meters can't blow through the side armor of a German tank, but it can make the people inside dizzy!

Relying on a long period of tacit understanding and consistent style, the driver made what he thought was the only correct choice, and he directly put the car body directly at the target to stop urgently, and the gun commander saw a big "10,000 words" from the scope on the edge of the reticle, and he didn't even think about stepping on the firing pedal!

It's too late to reload, and the SU-76 rushes forward with full horsepower: when will this be used without ramming tactics?!

The infantry saw the thrilling scoring scene, the cannon rushed straight over, a loud crash and a shrill metal grinding sound, and the SU-76 pushed the No. 3 tank diagonally out for several meters!

"Armor-piercing bullets, reloaded!"

The loader didn't care to fix his body in order to reload as quickly as possible, and his head hit the armor plate, and his cheeks were bleeding even while wearing a tank hat!

The driver put up the reverse gear and stepped back, and everyone subconsciously shrank down - with a loud bang, Pavel pressed the firing pedal again!

Everyone's ears are buzzing, and it's useless to wear tank hats! The muzzle of the gun was less than three meters from the armor plate of the German tank, and the carbide warhead pierced the side steel plate of the turret of tank No. 3 like slicing tofu, and a violent explosion occurred inside the tank!

Small steel shards smashed the steel plate in front of it with a "crackling" sound, and a side door of the turret that was blown away (as Tank 3 has) smashed directly into the steel plate in front of the driver, leaving a pit!

"Boom" retreated more than 20 meters, and the stunned driver stopped! At first glance, the infantry had already run forward!

"Reverse, go up Lenin Street, cover the infantry." From the map, Lenin Avenue leads to the already blown up bridge over the Nereis River, and the first priority is to divide the German army in Nemenchny!

"Major, what?!"

The driver turned his head and shouted with an anxious face.

"Lenin Street, keep up with the infantry!" The commander was the major, and he not only shouted but also gestured with his hands: he only now realized that he did not seem to understand the driver's words - everyone in the car was temporarily deaf!

Now the driver understood, drove "boom" backwards, and when he reached the street junction, he used his hands and feet to turn quickly and drove south.

"Car No. 7 is heading west along Workers' Street, and car No. 9 is following me!"

On the left there was a barricade made of broken buses that the SU-76 could not pass, and the major could now see the intersection clearly.

The infantry were in close contact with each other in the buildings and barricades on both sides, and the sound of explosions and smoke was constantly rising from the buildings and the streets, and the soldiers were using grenades and flamethrowers to clear the German troops who had not had time to evacuate.

The Major could see the smoke a little farther away from the periscope, "Nemenchine is completely reimbursed"

The view was a mess, the streets were riddled with holes, and the flamethrower-lit fires wouldn't be extinguished until they had consumed everything that could burn the entire building!

The destruction of the city by their own cannon is almost negligible, and it is the bombardment combined with heavy artillery shelling and fire that really destroys the city. But the city can still be rebuilt after it is destroyed, and now it can't be managed so much, and this account must be counted on the fascists!

It's not just Nemenchine, every time the Red Army recaptures a settlement, it's not still intact! The German army is not a waste that will be withdrawn in a fight, and after a battle, even the strongest cities will be in ruins!

"Fascists, if we can hit your hometown, we will blow up your kennel and burn it down! Bastard! Such an idea is the thought of almost every Red Army soldier!

Countless wonderful cities and villages, all preserved during the civil war, are now in ruins! It was the beautiful home of the Red Army soldiers. Watching one's homeland destroyed by the war, seeing the sacrifice of one's comrades-in-arms, and seeing the slaughter of the people, the hatred that burst out of one's heart is unimaginable, and it cannot be compared to the civil war!

Because this is a battle of nation and faith!

In the building, the shooter with the ROKS-2 flamethrower on his back, under the cover of his comrades, used short shots to sweep the German troops in the same aisle of the room one by one, and from time to time there were heart-rending screams! The thick gasoline combustion can't be extinguished at all, and with a single shot, the people in the aisle will become a string of burning people!

The sound of machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns firing was heard everywhere, plus the dull explosion of grenades exploding in the room!

The remnants of the German troops on both flanks were in the minority, and the fighters would only enter the buildings where the German fire points were identified and those buildings that blocked the main communication routes, and the vast majority of the fighters were advancing south under the cover of self-propelled cannons!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers of the Guards who broke through finally saw the bridgehead of the Neris River that had been blown up! The Germans in the vicinity of Nemenchine were successfully divided!

On the other side of the river, there were German observation posts and artillery, and the first appearance of this side was exchanged for a dense artillery bombardment. The commanders immediately commanded the troops to assault on both flanks, expand the dividing line and consolidate the position!

New reinforcements are constantly coming south through Lenin Avenue, bringing in ammunition - it's getting dark, and even harder night street battles await the fighters!

The people in the battle headquarters were the first to get a report from the front: the German army had been divided, and the Nereis River was in front of them!

In front of the Red Army soldiers in the buildings along the river, the Nereis River was like the best line of defense - the broken ice was in a semi-flowing state, let alone a boat, not even a mouse could pass!

At a cross-street on Lenin Street, only two rows of houses from the river, a SU-76 was parked, the same one that had rushed to the front with the infantry at noon.

There are still two armor-piercing shells left in the tank, and the high-explosive shells are all used up: it is already dark, and you can only wait here for shells for the time being, and even as a bulletproof shield for the infantry will not work - fighting street battles with SU-76 at night, Comrade Major will not do that.
