When this group army level complete organic bombardment finally subsided amidst the smoke and the flames, the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, which had fully felt the "artillery doctrine" of the Soviet Red Army, had not yet had time to count the number of lost troops and equipment, roaring with diesel
At this moment, the terrifying sound of the roar of engines and the grinding of steel tracks slowly sounded in the ears of the German soldiers.
"Tanks! The Russian tanks, anti-tank guns, and anti-tank gun teams are in position quickly! Hurry!"
Under the shouts of the commander of the German infantry company, several German infantrymen who were shocked by the Soviet artillery immediately threw the 98k Mauser rifles behind them and hurriedly ran into several people who had not yet arrived.
From the anti-tank holes that were collapsed by Soviet shelling, the 37mm Pak36 anti-tank guns and the 50mm Pak38 anti-tank guns were slowly pushed out by manpower.
The continuous offensive and defensive battles for several days have made the German defense forces dare not place the precious and heavy 88 guns directly on the front-line defensive positions.
You can't tell when the Soviet army will come roaring in every now and then. The barrage-covering artillery bombardment will not call you in advance to warn you. Several 88mm anti-aircraft guns were directly blown up on the position because they were too late to move in time.
The twisted and deformed wreckage reminded the German soldiers all the time.
Any idiot who dares to ignore or provoke the Soviet artillery will either end up in a field hospital or disappear directly from the earth. Just like the armored units that the German army is most proud of, those Ivans' field artillery units are definitely at this time.
The most ferocious artillery unit on earth, bar none.
When the rumbling Soviet tanks lined up in a row had closed the distance enough to make the defending German troops above the position feel the ground trembling under their feet, those tanks were light enough to be hidden on the spot under the German anti-cannon
The 37 and 5o mm small-caliber anti-tank guns in the hole finally entered the gun position and were ready.
"Directly ahead at twelve o'clock! Five hundred meters away! Load armor-piercing rounds!"
"Loading completed!"
"Aiming at him!"
"Fire!"
The German anti-tank gun team, which was strictly divided into loaders, gunners, and gunners, finally followed the order and began to try to stop these rumbling steel behemoths. The hot muzzle fire would drag a silver-white tracer trail.
The Type 4o tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles were suddenly fired from the barrel. The unobstructed aiming distance of less than 500 meters was simply easier than target shooting for these German anti-tank artillery groups.
Ding-ding——
The huge impact sound was accompanied by the crisp echo that echoed throughout the heavy tank, which was shocking. Although such an unpenetrated sound sounded a bit scary, he knew the attributes of his enhanced version of the KV1 heavy tank.
But Malashenko smiled ferociously, not taking these German toothpick cannons seriously at all.
"With 25mm of additional armor, 75mm of body armor and a 31-degree inclination angle, I would dare to pick up even an 88-gun. They are a bunch of useless little toothpicks!"
The Soviet KV1 heavy tanks, which had only appeared in twos and threes in previous battles, now mobilized at least forty of them in a line-up formation and rushed towards our side. Such a scene is very effective for those who have already stood on their positions.
For Colonel Wilhelm Stockhausen, the commander of the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment who had been fighting fiercely with the Soviet army for several days, this was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem.
"Call immediately and ask where our air support is now! Tell the Air Force liaison that if those Stukas and Messerschmitts don't appear over our heads, their bombs will have to be dropped on us.
Our own people are in position!"
"yes!"
After giving the order, he continued to raise the telescope in his hand and stared at the armor-piercing projectiles that passed through his own anti-tank gun crews within his sight. They hit the thick frontal armor plate of the Soviet heavy tank and were bounced off one after another.
Or a scenario where a sharp armor-piercing warhead is directly embedded in the armor plate and cannot penetrate because the armor is too thick.
I have always been convinced of the advanced level of weapons and equipment condensed by German technology in our hands. I believe that the German Third Reich has both the most elite soldiers and the most sophisticated weapons and equipment in the world.
For the first time in weeks, I had doubts about the faith I had always maintained.
if right
The Slavs on the opposite side are really inferior people as described in the propaganda propaganda and speeches, but the weapons and equipment created by the hands of inferior people can crush our own side with fundamental quality differences, then
What kind of existence is the Germanic nation that I belong to?
"Damn it! I actually think about these boring questions like those young children. I am really possessed by Goebbels!"
Just when the commander of the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, who had come to his own conclusion about the so-called distinction between racial superiority and inferiority, was about to raise his hand to look at the time on his watch again, a familiar whistling sound of propellers suddenly enveloped him.
A powerful aircraft engine noise suddenly sounded over the entire battlefield.
"It's the Air Force! These late bastards are finally here!"
Just as Colonel Stockhausen, who looked ecstatically on his face, expected, the German Air Force, which took advantage of the first golden ray of sunlight to rise at dawn and took off from the frontline field airport, was finally at
This is what they need most when the battlefield deteriorates.
These pushed the engine output to the maximum for the German ground attack formation. After seeing the deteriorating battlefield situation on the ground, there was no hesitation. A total of 24 JU-87B2 Stuka dive bombers followed.
Under the cover of 16 Messerschmitt BF-1O9E3 fighter jets, they dived straight towards the approaching earth with a scream in the sky.
For a moment, the Stuka bombers swooped and roared like a death scream, followed by the violent explosions of aerial bombs falling to the ground. The BF-1O9E3 fighters, which had no air supremacy to fight for, were not willing to be left alone.
, with the double roar of machine guns and machine guns, they also joined the ground attack session.
From the commander's seat in the turret of his car, he looked up at the German fighter planes that were constantly diving, rising and flying. Maraschin had always been full of resentment for the unilateral massacre of his own ground troops by the German Air Force.
Ke, this time surprisingly did not complain, but just looked at it quietly as if it didn't matter.
Just as a Stuka, which had just completed its dive and accurately dropped the 25o kilogram aerial bomb on the belly of the aircraft over the head of a KV1 heavy tank, had just entered the lifting channel. A burst of 127mm Berezin machine guns and 762mm
The barrage of flames woven together by the Schkath machine guns directly hit the unprepared Stuka until the fuel tank exploded and disintegrated in the air.
