Chapter 467: Assault without aircraft cover
This unexpected situation gave Wittman time to disperse his tank assault group, and a distance of eight kilometers is indeed not a very long distance for tanks and armored vehicles, only seven or eight minutes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Soviet positions were still in chaos, the second round of German artillery bombardment came again, and the slightly better order Soviet positions fell into panic again, and the Soviet troops at this time had no chance.
Wittmann led the scattered armored assault group to rush at the Soviet positions, and the speed was also very fast, no less than 50 kilometers per hour.
Wittman was in a raging fire in his heart at this time, and he had just been promoted to the commander of the armored regiment, and this kind of heavy losses occurred, which made Wittman depressed to death.
When the Soviet position was still chaotic, Wittman's armored assault regiment had already rushed to the front of the Soviet position, this time Wittmann did not give any order to slow down, but ordered all the tanks to adjust their combat positions slightly, and just charge directly, crushing everything they saw.
It seems that Weitmann was forced by the Soviet army, because Weitmann's loss was already the largest since the start of the SS war, and this was the serious consequence of the loss of the air "nanny" of the armored group.
In order to protect the Bryansk oil and gas field, Helbert must immediately destroy the Soviet artillery, and in this very helpless situation, let Wittman's assault group charge without air cover, although Wittman's armored assault group has losses, but the Bryansk oil and gas field is safe.
In addition, Helbert came to the conclusion that not only the infantry was afraid of artillery, but also tanks were afraid of heavy artillery, especially large-caliber heavy guns of more than 150, which would cost the tank crew their lives.
Soviet cavalry units turned into infantry to dig trenches, could they hold back SS tanks? Of course not, the Soviet artillery is not a direct-fire anti-tank artillery, and there is no way to attack tanks at close range.
"Boom...... Boom...... Dadada......"
Wittmann's tank roared and charged at the Soviet position, full of tanks and armored vehicles in front of him. The German armored assault queue was a bit messy, and in order to rush through the shelling zone set up by the Soviets as soon as possible, the messy charge formation was not a big problem.
The Soviet cavalry was still very brave, the cavalry guns in their hands fired two shots at the German tanks, they could only splash a little spark, they were throwing two grenades, and they could only listen to one sound by themselves, these weapons were of no use to the tanks, and then the Soviet troops panicked and began to flee shamefully.
What a tragedy, the Soviet troops in Bryansk retreated from Kiev, and they still had the Soviet weapons and equipment in their hands, and the advanced weapons and equipment aided by Britain and the United States had not yet had time to be delivered to them, and Germany launched the Battle of Bryansk.
Wittmann's attack was a heavy loss, regardless of whether the Soviets fled or not, he still ordered the machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles to fire wildly, and the tank guns were specially used to deal with Soviet artillery.
"Dada...... Boom...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”
Weitmann's torrent of steel crushed everything in the way of the advance with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and the entire Soviet army's annular defensive position was in flames, and countless fleeing Soviet soldiers were killed on the way to escape, and even the officers of the Soviet army took the lead in escaping.
Under this kind of one-sided slaughter, people can't stand it, what explosives packs, death squads full of grenades, under the protection of armored vehicles, these people can get close to the Type 4 tank, and they are beaten into a sieve by the MG42 general-purpose machine gun on the armored vehicle from afar.
"Poof...... Puff ...... "The sound of tearing the sackcloth is the sound of MG42, the rate of fire of MG42 is really terrifying, 1500 rounds per minute, and a pull of the trigger is a rain of dozens of bullets, basically a point shot, and the enemy is beaten into a sieve.
There are enough bullets on the armored car, which is the ammunition that the infantry carries, and two machine gunners can carry a maximum of 1,000 rounds. And the various bullets on these SS armored vehicles are enough, as long as it is a living target of the enemy, you can shoot well.
Will a lot of bullets be wasted in this way? Perhaps, it's just that more ammunition is consumed, and anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that bullets and guns are the second life of soldiers, if a soldier loses his gun, the end of that soldier must not be good, and if a soldier only has a gun and no bullets, it is also a very tragic thing.
As long as they have been on the battlefield, they will never waste bullets, that is his second life! How can you waste your life casually!
Rommel was very lenient with the soldiers of his troops, basically the same as his command style, if the soldiers felt that they should shoot, then you should let go of the fight!
If the soldier feels that he should not shoot, then you can wait and see, whether to fight or not is completely in the hands of the soldier, no one interferes with them, in a word, it is very cool to be a German soldier now, what Rommel has to do is to make enough ammunition and send it to the front.
"Dada...... Poof...... Boom ......"
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"
The sound of gunfire and the roar of tank No. 4 reverberated throughout the Soviet position, and the frightened Soviet horses were also galloping wantonly.
If there were Soviet troops or the corpses of war horses on the way of the tanks, the SS tanks would certainly not stop for them and run over them. Soon the corpses would be thrown out from behind the tracks by the galloping tanks, and the corpses would go in, and the meat sauce of the dirt would come out.
The second ring defensive position of the Soviet army was built by two cavalry divisions, which was quite a few people, but what was the use of this, should we continue to stage the scene of the Soviet version of the cavalry and the German tank hedging, the Soviet cavalry of these two divisions was much smarter, and the insight was wrong, and they immediately retreated.
Wittman's target was also those Soviet artillery, and those Soviet soldiers who fled far away didn't bother to take a look, and those Soviet artillery also chose to escape.
"Five hundred meters ahead, a truck aims, put."
Wittmann himself became the commander of the tank he was riding, and the commander of his tank was seriously injured by the Soviet shelling, and even Wittmann was covered in blood.
Because the 155 howitzer exploded about five meters from Weitmann's tank, and the violent air wave and shock wave almost overturned Weitmann's tank.
The violent shaking of the tank made Weitman's head "close contact" with his tank many times, and when the shaking stopped, the captain of Weitmann's tank had passed out from the impact, his head and face were full of wounds, and Weitmann also knocked out several large bags and a long wound on his head, and the blood was flowing down.
Luckily, the driver was only slightly injured and was able to drive the tank on, which allowed Wittmann's tank to get out of danger quickly.
"Bang ......"
