Soviet infantry followed the tanks like a tidal wave towards Anderson's logistics camp, shells rained down on Anderson's position like hail, and a few unlucky eggs were blasted into the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the German anti-tank gun was equipped with thick steel plates and was tilted, while the Sherman tank's 76-mm gun could not penetrate the front armor plate of the German anti-tank gun.

This is the advantage of having defense, although the 75 anti-tank gun with thick steel plates requires two squads of people to move, but the survival effect is much improved at once.

"Three hundred meters...... Boom...... Boom ......"

Anderson's mortars began to roar, dozens of various mortars were bombarded at the Soviet army, of course, these mortars could not destroy the Soviet Sherman tanks, but they could hunt down the infantry that followed the Soviet tank charge.

Anderson's logistics battalion paid more attention to mortars, and that was their famous battle, that is, they had an indissoluble bond with mortars.

"Knock knock...... Boom...... Ulla...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”

The advancing Soviet tank assault group continued to fire, Anderson's position was filled with gunsmoke, six 75mm anti-tank guns fired at Sherman non-stop, and the Soviet tanks were smashed into piles of bonfires one after another.

Because the German mortars were a bit fierce, several Soviet soldiers were timid and wanted to escape from the range of the German mortars...... Ahhhhh!!h The overseers behind them directly fired a fierce shot at these fleeing Soviet soldiers, and directly shot these Soviet deserters on the spot.

The combat style of the Soviet army is like this, not only in treating the enemy cruelly to their own people, which is related to Lao Maozi's national character.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The Soviets, relying on the large number of their tanks, still rushed at Anderson's position, accompanied by no less than 3,000 infantry, which was almost a reinforced infantry regiment.

Anderson's 75mm anti-tank guns were firing continuously, and as long as the Sherman tank was hit, it would definitely be sent to the west with a single shell, but Sherman's 76mm tank guns, when they drove two hundred meters before the position, these guns could already penetrate the thick steel plate of the 75mm gun.

The 75mm anti-tank front armor could no longer stop Sherman's armor-piercing shells, and when Anderson's anti-tank was destroyed twice, Anderson hurriedly ordered his anti-tank soldiers to pull the anti-tank guns into the anti-artillery holes, and then let the Soviet tanks often act with an iron fist.

"150 meters."

When the Soviets saw the German anti-tank run, they actually fled timidly, and they thought that the Germans no longer had any weapons that could threaten their tanks, so they continued to increase the throttle and charge at Anderson's position.

Anderson had been observing the situation on the battlefield, and when the Soviet tanks and infantry charged to 150 meters, Anderson did not order the Germans squatting in the first trench to stand up and counterattack.

Anderson waited for the Soviet tanks to travel a hundred meters before ordering his soldiers to get up and attack, which was mainly determined by the range of the Iron Fist, and Anderson did not want the Soviets to escape beyond the range of the Iron Fist after destroying a few tanks.

"One hundred meters...... Attack all. ”

All the soldiers of the logistics battalion squatting in the trenches instantly stood up and fired fiercely at the Soviet troops with the weapons in their hands.

The weapons in the hands of the logistics battalion are all automatic weapons, such as the P40 and MG42, as well as a large number of Iron Fists. And the infantry weapons of the Soviet army are now not only rifles, but a large number of submachine guns, and these Soviet troops are equipped with British Stern submachine guns.

The British Stern submachine gun was the cheapest and easiest submachine gun in the world at that time, the Stern submachine gun was simple in design and low in cost, with a cost price of only $9, which was very suitable for mass production in wartime. It uses the internationally accepted 9mm "Pyrabrum" ammunition, and the magazine can be used with the German MP-40 submachine gun.

In order to cope with the German infantry firepower, the Stern submachine gun ordered by Churchill to be developed quickly finally came out in advance, and now Kovsk has appeared, indicating that Britain is also vigorously supporting the Soviet Union! Sherman must have been supported by Lao Mei.

"Click...... Sneer...... Boom ......"

The soldiers of the logistics battalion suddenly came out and fired fiercely at the Soviet troops a hundred meters away, and the German light weapons were specially aimed at the infantry attacked by the tanks, and the iron fists were specially used against the Soviet tanks, and the Soviet troops were blinded at that time.

As for the Soviet Sherman tank, it was not an opponent of the Iron Fist at all, and it penetrated directly from the front, the Sherman hull inclined armor was only 54 mm, and the turret vertical armor was only 110 mm, while the penetration of the German Iron Fist 150 was 140 mm, no matter which part of the Iron Fist hit the Sherman, it was directly penetrated.

"Click...... Sneer...... Boom ......"

More than 30 Sherman medium tanks running in front of the position were destroyed in front of the position, igniting a fire, because the early model of the Sherman used a gasoline engine, and it was easy to catch fire if hit, so it received the nickname "lighter". (This will soon be reflected in the United States, which will soon install a diesel engine for Sherman.) ）

As soon as the Soviet army saw that the German firepower was still so ferocious, the Soviet commander who commanded in the rear ordered all the charging troops to retreat first, and then rotate the next wave of troops to continue to charge. The Soviets are in this character, the artillery is finished, the infantry rushes, and if they do not succeed in occupying the position, they will do it all over again.

Anderson watched the Soviets retreat like a tide, but he didn't dare to call his soldiers to repair the fortifications, and the Soviets couldn't attack only this once.

There was definitely the next offensive, and Anderson ordered all his soldiers to go into the anti-artillery holes, and then sent the wounded to the field hospital in the city of Kovsk for treatment.

At the same time, Anderson also asked each company to count the casualties, and the results were quickly reported, Anderson's troops killed more than 20 people, seriously injured more than 30 people, these 50 or 60 people were basically killed by Soviet artillery, and there were also two anti-tank gun personnel, this is the first battle, Anderson's command did not have any mistakes, and still killed so many people, which made Anderson heartbroken.

Shortly after Anderson ordered his men to retreat into the fortified holes, the Soviets began shelling again, which stopped after more than ten minutes at a time, followed by tanks and infantry in turn.

Anderson's logistics battalion had little time to rest, each attack lasted about an hour, with periods of time in between.

In this way, the two sides fought a fierce battle brutally, and from morning to night, the logistics battalion had already lost one-third of its life, and many of them were seriously wounded and withdrew from the battle, and only about 200 people were still able to fight.

After a full eighteen hours of attack, all the people who were still alive in the logistics battalion were exhausted, and as soon as the fighting stopped, many soldiers fell asleep directly in the trenches.
