Chapter 111: Dungeon The Battle of Madrid (6)
At 10 o'clock in the morning of November 24, 1936, 2,000 German vulture soldiers, who were the vanguard, under the cover of 30 tanks, launched an attack on the position of Ouyang Yu's army outside the university city of Madrid, where more than 400 people from the 4th battalion of the 2nd Regiment of Ouyang Yu's army were stationed.
Most of the German tanks involved in the attack were only two machine guns of the No. 1 tank, not to mention the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks in the intelligence, and even the No. 2 tank was pitiful, Ouyang Yu, who came to the front-line command post, saw the German offensive configuration from the artillery mirror, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Using these old antiques to attack my position? The German commander must have a problem with his head, ordered the mortars to start firing, pushed the guns out of the hidden positions, and gave the Germans a good anti-tank lesson. ”
In the ruins behind the position, Ouyang Yu arranged a large number of mortars, ranging from sixty millimeters to one hundred and twenty millimeters, distributed layer by layer according to the firing range, the infantry has always been the protagonist of the battlefield, and Ouyang Yu has never been stingy with the weapons of the infantry.
"Uh......h Woo......!"
The characteristic whistling sound of mortars had just arrived on the battlefield, and the well-trained German soldiers quickly fell to the ground, but despite this, German soldiers were constantly hit by shells, either blown into the sky or blown to pieces.
The German commander wanted to counterattack, but the mortar group was all hiding behind the ruins, and the German artillery could not see the fire and smoke from the launch, and wanted to counterattack but could not find the target, so they had to vent their anger on the positions of the four battalions, and the positions of the four battalions were suddenly shrouded in explosions and smoke, and the Germans took the opportunity to speed up the advance.
"Order the guns to open fire on the tank. ”
Under Ouyang Yu's order, the six 40-mm anti-aircraft guns pushed out of the ruins began to wield, and the armor-piercing incendiary shells fired by the extremely high rate of fire easily penetrated the front armor of the No. 1 tank.
The fast and dense shells fired by the six guns turned one tank after another into a torch of steel, and each tank No. 1 was hit by at least ten shells, and the crew inside had no chance of surviving, even the relatively new No. 2A tank could not stop the incoming armor-piercing incendiary bombs, and all of them were destroyed along with the No. 1 tank.
Before the battle, he had already considered the various possibilities of Ouyang Yu's army after encountering his own armored troops, and came up with various ways to deal with it, such as using this batch of No. 1 tanks as bait to lure out the T-35 tanks under Ouyang Yu, and then use the new No. 3 and No. 4 tanks to outflank and encircle and annihilate them, or use the ambushed No. 37 tank guns to give a severe blow, etc., but he didn't expect Ouyang Yu to attack with anti-aircraft guns.
"Open...... Fire the guns, blow up those damn anti-aircraft guns for me!"
The mortars behind the German position began to change targets, and one by one the shells flew towards the six guns exposed by Ouyang Yujun, but the six guns moved quickly, and they were dragged back to the hiding point immediately after destroying the German tanks, and the German shells could only explode on the ground helplessly, and there was no other result except for killing a nest of ants.
The Germans who lost their tanks did not give up the attack, the brave infantry crawled on the ground while shooting at Ouyang Yu's army, the two sides fought fiercely, but Ouyang Yu's army had a perfect defensive position, coupled with strong automatic firepower, the first attack of the German army was quickly repulsed, but the German army still had the ability to take away the wounded and some of the corpses of the dead soldiers when retreating, which shows that the organizational ability of its soldiers is very strong, and it is worthy of being the first land power in Europe.
After resting for an hour, the German army launched an artillery bombardment again, the ferocious artillery fire covered most of the positions of Ouyang Yu's army, and there was a great sense of not blowing up Ouyang Yu's position, but Ouyang Yu would not be bombed, her artillery immediately launched a counterattack, and the two sides began a second artillery battle, this artillery battle was different from the previous small fight, the Germans seemed to want to eliminate Ouyang Yu's long-range power in one fell swoop, as long as the artillery within the range was all joined in the artillery battle.
The second artillery battle lasted more than two hours, although the artillery under Ouyang Yu did their best to destroy a large number of German and rebel artillery, but they were outnumbered and fell into disadvantage, and Ouyang Yu had to order temporary concealment after losing one-third of the artillery.
"After the cessation of enemy shelling, the troops were ordered to withdraw to the city. ”
Ouyang Yu's original plan was not to go head-to-head with the rebels outside the city, and after a tentative defense, the rebels had an overwhelming advantage in terms of the number of soldiers and the number of equipment, so they immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions outside the city and enter the city, so that the rebels could only choose to fight with Ouyang Yu's army, which had strong firepower, and engaged in short-range combat in the ruins, and the superior long-range firepower would be difficult to play a role.
After the second round of shelling, the German soldiers who rushed to Ouyang Yu's position were surprised to find that their enemy had already moved away from the position, and after a little hesitation, the German soldiers who received a new order marched towards the university town.
The terrain of the university town, which had been reduced to ruins, made it possible to hide the enemy anywhere, and the German soldiers walking through the dilapidated streets paid their attention.
"Phew!"
The first of the German soldiers who were at the forefront of the pathfinder fell to the sound of a crisp gunshot, and the other German soldiers quickly hid to find the attacker, who seemed to be only one and well hidden, and was not detected by the German soldiers.
"Ah...... Help me!"
The German soldier who was hit did not die, he lay on the ground holding his stomach and was bleeding from the ground, shouting for help from his comrades not far away, and a German soldier who had a good relationship with him dropped his rifle and quickly stepped forward to pull him by the collar and wanted to drag him back.
"Phew!"
There was another crisp gunshot, and the German soldier who saved the man was hit in the chest, and he fell to the ground weakly with blood splashed everywhere, and he also did not die immediately, and looked at his nearby comrades with open eyes, hoping to get help.
"Damn, it's a sniper!" Although the young German squad leader has not experienced a brutal battle, he has learned relevant tactics in the military school, knowing that this is a typical siege and reinforcement, deliberately not killing people, so as to lure more of his own soldiers out to die, reason told the German squad leader not to rescue, but he couldn't do it when he saw his close comrades-in-arms who got along day and night die in vain.
"Grenades!"
Two grenades exploded not far from the wounded, and the smoke blocked the view, the German squad leader and another soldier rushed out of the bunker with an arrow step, came to the side of the two wounded, resisted them on their shoulders and ran back, successfully rescued the two wounded, and after emergency hemostasis, the lives of the two wounded were temporarily covered.
"Hans, you take two people to outflank from the left, Bruce you bring three people to outflank from the right, and the others come with me!"
The German squad leader jumped out of cover after giving the order, and three soldiers followed him in a serpentine pattern, while the machine gunners in the squad began to fire suppressively at places where snipers might be hiding.
Ouyang Yujun's sniper, who was hiding behind a ruin, looked at the German squad that had divided his troops, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, he was not just one person, there were several snipers lurking near this sniper, just waiting for the German soldiers to step into their ambush circle.
Corporal Hans led the two privates carefully through the ruins, and when he discerned the direction and found that the three of them had gone a little wrong, he led the two privates back, but he did not notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at them on the second floor of a collapsed house not far away.
"Phew!"
The steel helmet of the privates who walked in the back was pierced by the bullet, and the red and white brains sprayed all over the ground through the large hole that the bullet had drilled.
Hearing the gunshot, Hans rolled on the spot and hid behind a broken wall, but the other private did not dodge in time, but turned to check on his comrades behind him.
"Phew!"
A bullet hit the private's neck, tearing the private's trachea and the major artery in his neck, and the private tried in vain to hold the wound and try to breathe, but he couldn't even breathe in a little air, and his feet fell to the ground and his body twitched from time to time.
Hans, who was hiding behind the wall, witnessed all this, and the thought of avenging his comrades filled his brain, and after forcing himself to calm down, Hans began to calculate the direction of the bullet, and after carefully observing the surrounding terrain, he roughly calculated where the sniper was hiding.
He found a stick and lifted his steel helmet up as if he were half of his head exposed.
"Phew!"
The steel helmet was knocked away by the bullets, and Hans, who was hiding behind the wall, quickly got up and aim, trying to take advantage of the enemy sniper fire and re-pull the bolt to load the bullet for a second or two to kill the enemy.
"Phew!"
Hans's heart was hit by a flying bullet, and Hans, who fell to the ground, couldn't figure out why the enemy's sniper could load so fast, and it didn't take even half a second to complete the process of pulling the bolt to load the bullet.
The sniper of Ouyang Yujun, who was hiding, walked in front of Hans, who was still dying, squatted down and took off his military badge from his neck as proof of kill, and when he was dying, Hans saw that the enemy sniper was holding a sniper rifle that he had never seen before, the model of this sniper rifle was called a sniper SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle, and it did not need to pull the bolt to load.
