Yeager was an ordinary soldier in the combat engineer battalion. He did not have any position or an enviable military rank. He returned from injury in early 1944 and returned to the front line before being dispatched to the Stalin Guards with a transfer order.
A tank division came.
The reason is that he has enough combat experience and is an outstanding veteran, and only such a person is qualified to be selected into Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division.
If we compare it to other ordinary Red Army units, with Yeager's combat experience from 1942 to the present, no matter how bad he is, he can still become a platoon leader and company commander. But what is helpless is that as soon as Yeager came,
He was transferred to the "Combat Engineer Battalion" with the strongest combat effectiveness in the division to join the battle sequence.
Here, there are all kinds of veterans and bosses with rich combat experience. Even the cooks in the Combat Engineer Battalion have been cooking since 1941 until today. It is said that when the situation is critical, they still cook
I have fought with a German with a kitchen knife, and I don’t know if I have killed a German. Anyway, it sounds awesome.
Yeager's squad leader was still a deputy company commander when he was in the old army. By chance, he took the initiative to submit an application to his superiors for transfer to Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. Although he was demoted after he came.
At the third level, he became a squad leader, but he didn't complain at all about it, and actually enjoyed it.
The reason is quite simple. Just being a commander in Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, it feels wonderful to be in the most elite tank unit of the Red Army killing Germans.
After understanding this situation, Yeager was slightly disappointed with the fact that he could only be a leading soldier, but he was relieved and no longer complained at all.
Yeager's biggest feeling about the combat engineer battalion where he was staying was that the equipment was really good and amazing! It was something that other Red Army units would not even dare to think about.
In the combat engineer battalion, you can choose from a variety of small arms and portable equipment.
Not only were the products produced by the motherland, but there were also those supported by British cowboys and American cowboys, and there were also a large number of weapons and equipment seized from the Germans.
If you want, you can even equip yourself with a German-made Walter pistol for self-defense, but more soldiers still prefer the Tokarev TT33 pistol produced by the motherland. There is no other reason, it is more powerful.
Hey, no matter how big and arrogant a German gun is, it can be knocked down with one shot. If it hits the head, it can even open the gourd, causing red and white to fly.
It is indeed a man's weapon, powerful enough! Of course, it is also Yeager's own choice.
But when it comes to the most useful and amazing exclusive weapon, Yeager could honestly swear to Comrade Stalin that it was the so-called "assault rifle" in his hand.
For this battle, Yeager had loaded three magazines full of bullets in advance and kept them as backup. Counting the magazine inserted in the gun itself, Yeager was in this battle.
A total of 120 rounds of ammunition are available.
Maybe this sounds like a lot, but if you look at the actual rate of fire, these 120 rounds of bullets may not be able to withstand a high-intensity battle that lasts for five minutes and they will all be used up. But even so, there is no other way. With these new batches of ammunition
The special bullets that arrived with the assault rifle were very limited and were not compatible with any other existing ammunition. This was Yeager's only regret.
"You have to use it sparingly and try to kill a German devil with three shots!"
With such an idea in mind, Yeager, who was wearing a double-layered heavy-armored body armor and a steel helmet on his head, looked like a human tank and had jumped into the trench. For the first time, he resolutely faced the enemy who was taking aim less than a hundred meters away.
He raised the new assault rifle in his hand.
Dong dong dong——
Different from the crisp and fast continuous gunshots of Bobosha, the firing noise of the new assault rifle appears thick and powerful, with higher decibels and a relatively slower rate of fire.
The considerable recoil force came through the wooden butt of the gun, and finally acted on Yeager's shoulder. The first time it was used, it was slightly painful.
Yeager, who was extremely proficient in light weapons, fired three short bursts just as he expected. His two strong arms full of tendon meat tightly grasped the weapon, firmly suppressing the shaking effect caused by the recoil.
Try your best to ensure shooting accuracy.
Three rounds of 7.62mm pointed rifle bullets that were ejected continuously had a muzzle velocity far exceeding that of Bobosha, and the warheads flew faster. They hit a target less than a hundred meters away and were knocked down almost instantly by the gunshot.
.
Snapped--
There was no scream or any expression of pain covering the wound. Yeager, whose right eye, rear sight, and front sight were aligned at three o'clock and one line, directly chose the German's head with the steel helmet on as the shooting target.
The result of all three bullets hitting was that the whole good guy's head was instantly beaten into a bloody paste-like object, which was scattered and scattered. The headless body was like a flying-headed leopard that was killed by ammunition explosion.
He fell to death, blood gushing out like a fountain.
"Huh...huh...God, this thing is so powerful!?"
After killing the target with three consecutive hits and confirming the result with his own eyes, Yeager immediately retracted his upper body and retreated into the trench, hitting all the Germans' retaliatory shots in vain.
It failed to hit. Yeager, who saved his life because of his quick reaction, was leaning against the trench and marveling at the powerful destructive power of the new gun in his hand.
"The rate of fire of a submachine gun, the range of a rifle, the power of a machine gun... You're right, this thing is simply awesome!"
Yeager's reaction and combat situation are actually just a local microcosm. On the current infantry battlefield and between the trenches, more Red Army soldiers holding new assault rifles are fighting bravely to kill the enemy, unleashing the new assault in their hands.
The astonishing destructive power of the rifle.
The German army did think about counterattacking this new army of morons, but like a German submachine gunner, he picked up the MP40 in his hand and fired half a round at a tall man, emptying the magazine and falling on the ground.
The bullets in the chest and abdomen were filled with sparks and had no effect at all, just like hitting a tank.
With his double-layer SN-42 steel plate body armor, this combat engineer battalion soldier was completely immune to the German submachine gun. Then he raised his hand and fired from the waist, even aiming over his shoulder.
Cancel.
The violent shaking of the upper receiver spurted out the hot bullets one after another. In an instant, the German submachine gunner, who was swept into a hornet's nest in the spray of blood, turned his back on the spot and fell backwards in the rainy mud.
, no longer angry.
The weird and indescribable gun in the hands of these newcomers has a longer range than a submachine gun, a faster rate of fire than a rifle, and is lighter than a machine gun. It can be held in one hand. No one has ever seen such a groundbreaking weapon.
The German army was completely blinded by the magical weapon. It was impossible to withstand the beatings of "every man has a machine gun and attacks everyone when he sees it"!
In this short period of less than five minutes, the situation of the battle was completely reversed, from defense to offense, and the German infantry casualties soared vertically like rockets, all at the same time.
