No matter how reluctant Malashenko is at this time, reality will continue to advance quietly regardless of people's subjective consciousness. The reinforcements of the Imperial Division as the SS are still in conflict with the Grossdeutschland Infantry as the Wehrmacht.
The corps began to stand in a trench at the same time and began to fight side by side.
Compared with the German Wehrmacht, which was the traditional Prussian military force, it was obvious how difficult it was for the Waffen SS, as the party and Hitler's private military group, to deal with.
In the earlier battle from Lutsk to Brod, the 9th Mechanized Corps, which was overwhelming with two tank divisions and one motorized infantry division, was in the position of the 1st "Adolf Hitler" SS-Legendshrung Division of the Waffen-SS.
Everything in front of us broke down and it was difficult to move forward at all.
The main reason for this was, of course, that the Soviet army, as the attacker, lost air superiority and was bombed indiscriminately by the Luftwaffe, resulting in its failure.
However, as the largest SS division in the organization, the amazing combat effectiveness displayed in this battle is still beyond reproach.
Those SS soldiers who fought to the death in front of their positions and saw their comrades beside them blown to pieces by Soviet large-caliber artillery shells remained indifferent even though they were covered in blood.
The fanatical personality worship and belief in Hitler, the head of state, was enough to crush the fear in his heart and make these armed SS soldiers "insensitive". The amazing combat effectiveness they unleashed in this situation even made Malashenko, a later time traveler,
I was shocked when I saw it.
If I had to find an appropriate way to describe the comparison, in Malashenko's eyes, the fighting will shown by those crazy SS troops of the Guards Division was even enough to compare with those who shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
The Japanese troops launched a long-awaited charge towards the U.S. machine gun positions.
And when this crazy fighting will, which is as indestructible as steel, is armed with advanced weapons crystallized by German technology, completely destroying this group of crazy SS soldiers becomes your only way to win.
other.
Not knowing what kind of troop the SS reinforcements in front of him were that had just entered the position to assist in the defense, Malashenko, who thought victory was already within reach, immediately braced himself up and began to feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"All vehicle crews slow down and wait for the infantry to catch up. No unauthorized charges are allowed! The vehicle body's heading machine gun and the turret's coaxial machine gun maintain fire suppression. This group of SS lunatics must not be able to hold their heads up!"
The follow-up Soviet infantry group that had just ended the first position defense battle quickly moved closer to the first heavy tank breakthrough battalion led by Malashenko under the command of grassroots officers and political commissars at all levels.
In terms of large-scale armored group operations in 1941, the Soviet army may still be far from the German armored forces that had been engaged in the blitzkrieg for several years, but it benefited from Pavlov, who had been sent by Stalin to confess his sins to Comrade Lenin in person.
Under the guidance of reversing the course of history, the Soviet Red Army, which used starting tank coordination tactics, can be said to have used its own special skills.
After once again uniting in front of the second defensive position of the Grossdeutschland Infantry Regiment, the Soviet infantry and tank coordination units immediately began to advance steadily as they had been trained in several previous Western Steppe exercises.
The two 762mm DT light machine guns installed on each KV1 heavy tank poured out firepower in an almost continuous manner. The dense crimson tracer machine gun barrage whipped the people in the trench like countless blazing whips.
The German army could not raise its head.
The German troops who leaned out of the trenches to open fire while taking advantage of the reloading gap of the Soviet vehicle-mounted machine guns still did not get any benefit. The Soviet infantry following the KV1 heavy tank did a good job of making up for this fire gap.
, the Mosin-Nagant rifle that is constantly firing and the DP light machine gun that is fired directly from the waist are equally ferocious in firepower.
The more courageous Soviet machine gunners even jumped up and climbed directly onto the rear of the slowly advancing KV1 heavy tank. They placed the bipod of the DP light machine gun in their hands directly on the tank turret, using the cover of the tank.
With a condescending attitude, he began to pour firepower on the German army.
As the backbone of the firepower of the infantry squad, the German G34 machine gun team will be "focused" by the 76mm main gun of the KV1 heavy tank as soon as it shows up. The scattered shell fragments and explosion flames can make the German machine gun team original without a direct hit.
The earth rises to heaven.
At the last moment when the German second defensive position was about to repeat the loss of the first position, the German 88 guns, which had been afraid to move due to the threat of Soviet heavy artillery and the Il-2 attack aircraft overhead, finally faded away.
After taking off the camouflage of green grass and shrubs, it began to show its ferocious fangs.
The Soviet aircraft fleet, which had already returned after running out of ammunition and less than half a tank of fuel, was unlikely to turn back at this time. The distance to the German second line of defensive positions had been shortened to less than a hundred meters.
The Soviet offensive force was enough to deter the Soviet artillery cluster in the rear from arbitrarily launching artillery support that might accidentally injure one's own troops.
The German army, which had gradually become accustomed to the Soviet fighting style less than a month after the war started, had to be praised for its extremely quick adaptability. This precise grasp of the best fighter moments is one of the most powerful proofs of the elite level of the German army.
"Target Soviet heavy tank group, each gun crew fires freely, open fire!"
The deafening sound of artillery sounded at the same time as the German 88 artillery commander gave a loud order, and the 88 mm full-caliber PZGR capped armor-piercing bullet was pushed out of the chamber with fierce flames.
The 88mm capped armor-piercing projectile with a muzzle velocity as high as 810 meters per second can hit the target almost instantly at such a close distance. The frontal armor on the upper front of the KV1 heavy tank body is 75mm thick and has an inclination angle of 31 degrees.
But it still couldn't withstand the direct bombardment of the 88-gun at such a close range. The KV1 heavy tank exploded like champagne after shaking violently, setting off a death storm around it.
The explosions produced after three KV1 heavy tanks were penetrated through the turret and the front armor of the body were deafening. Malashenko, who was experiencing waves of ups and downs, could not think about those fellow tank soldiers.
The top priority now is to fight for the life and death of the subordinate dismounted crews and friendly infantry, and to eliminate these German 88 artillery pieces that have exposed their targets in the shortest possible time.
"Kiril, reload high-explosive bombs!"
"Seryozha, stop the car immediately! Keep the main gun steady!"
"Nicolai, the directional machine gun suppresses that damn Nazi emplacement and sends some greetings to their reloading!"
"Iushkin, the target is next to the green bushes at two o'clock! Smash these fascists for me!"
