The death from the Il-2 attack aircraft fleet caused great damage to the fleeing German army. The total number of 12 Il-2s may not be too many, but the crackling of rockets and aerial bombs brought them down.
It's really fatal, not to mention the machine gun fire that damages flesh and blood like a lawnmower hoeing the ground.
Holding down the trigger, there was a burst of gunfire, and a bloody mark was left on the ground, along with a large amount of broken bones and rotten flesh scattered on the ground. No matter how determined a person is, it will make him feel nauseous and lustful.
Vomiting, this scene is not much better than a slaughterhouse.
Originally, these 12 IL-2 attack aircraft were enough to cause a headache, but the truth that misfortunes never come singly is often more than just a joke.
The group of La-5 fighter jets following the Il-2 attack aircraft saw that no German fighter jets appeared, but they were unwilling to be left alone and followed closely to join this killing feast and began to lick the ground.
The barrage power of the 20mm aircraft cannon shells is much more powerful than the ordinary 12.7mm heavy machine gun barrage. The damage effect of the two on the human body is not at the same level.
If a single shot from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun can directly break arms and legs, then the specific effect of a 20mm aircraft cannon shell is to cut the unlucky target in half with one shot, instantly cutting it into two pieces.
The number of La-5 fighter jets that came to escort was not large, even less than that of the IL-2 attack aircraft. There were only 8 of them that could form two 4-plane formations.
But these eight La-5 fighter jets were no less devastating to the Germans who had just been beaten up than the Il-2 fleet just now.
The German army, which was hit by a sudden and violent air attack, was completely caught off guard. A large amount of equipment was destroyed, and trucks were overturned one after another. With one after another, the German troops were running wildly on the open roads and suburban fields, towards any place that might be used as a bunker.
He rushed to the other place, only regretting that his own mother had given him two fewer legs.
The German infantry is indeed right to do this. The fighter planes overhead are roaring violently, firing fiercely, and hitting your head with rockets and aerial bombs one after another. If you still stupidly stand still, is that not cerebral palsy?
But running also requires a specific time and how to run. Escape is a very technical thing, so you can't run blindly.
The Il-2s indeed left after a violent air attack, and were turning their attack lanes to prepare for another attack. However, the La-5 fighters that followed them played the role of last-minute hits just right, and they were able to completely hide before the Germans could.
The attack was launched from behind the hidden bunker.
The 20mm aerial cannon fired a barrage of fire and pulled it over. No bunker, whether it was iron sheet metal or a small earth slope, could withstand such a violent attack. In the flash of lightning, broken arms and flesh and blood were scattered, and only after the flashes of blood and fire flashed.
There were a lot of pieces of meat scattered all over the floor, and it was quite difficult to put together the parts that could make a complete corpse.
Just a moment later, the turn of the Il-2 and the La-5 turned into a dance between two different models. The attack aircraft and fighters, regardless of whether they had additional mounts or not.
Ground attack weapons, as long as there are still remaining weapons that are not used up, just hit the guy hard, and that's it.
The situation where the Germans were still hoping to survive the attack turned directly into a fatal despair under the fierce air raid. At this time, let alone grease the soles of their feet and run away immediately, how could they not be killed by the Russians, or even leave a whole person behind?
Corpses are enough to give you face.
Otherwise, what else are you thinking about? Keep running despite the air raids?
Please, if you don't accept it, try escaping with a bunch of evil spirits above your head and surrounding you. It's not much easier than riding a bicycle on the road and trying to run faster than a racing car.
Of course, such a situation can be regarded as successfully achieving the most important purpose of our Comrade Lao Ma: to delay the retreat of the German army, disrupt the enemy's rhythm of action, and buy time for the follow-up main ground troops to pursue.
That is, while the Germans were undergoing extremely painful and indiscriminate bombardment, Lavrinenko, who had received orders from Malashenko, was rushing forward with an urgently deployed medium tank unit.
"Comrade Deputy Division Commander, we can see the situation ahead. The Germans are being attacked by our fighter planes. It seems that they are all in chaos!"
In the end, there was no need to advance to the fighting distance to confirm the three to five kilometers distance with the naked eye. With a telescope, you could clearly see the tragic situation of the Germans being bombed in the violent rain of fire.
Lavrinenko, who received the radio report from the wingman, was also not idle. He leaned his upper body directly out of the turret and raised the binoculars in his hands, witnessing the rare German in person with the attitude of seeing is believing.
Bombing situation.
As the saying goes, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, the wind and water will take turns. Today I am at your home.
Lavrinenko, who had suffered from German air raids, couldn't look forward to seeing the Germans being bombed. It felt like an addicted smoker suddenly got a whole smoker after not smoking for three days.
It’s as hearty as a good smoke, refreshing and enjoyable!
At this time, Lavrinenko really wanted to pat his thigh and say excitedly: This feeling is so damn enjoyable! It feels so good! Damn you German guy, you have this day too!
Of course, after feeling refreshed and comfortable, Lavrinenko has not forgotten the tasks assigned to him by Malashenko and the mission of this trip. This is not the time for him to yell as much as he wants and say that he is enjoying himself. He should first focus on the present moment.
The main thing is to conduct the battle well, and first enter the battlefield to deal with the Germans who were half disabled by the air raids.
"I saw it. The Germans were bombed worse than the Yankees at Pearl Harbor! Even if I watch this a hundred times, I won't get tired of it!"
"All vehicle crews attack forward at full speed! Load high-explosive bombs! Give priority to destroying the German military vehicles that are still moving. Those containing supplies will be shot first, and those containing people will be put behind! Put the Germans' food and
Get rid of the gasoline first!”
Before setting off, Malashenko had told Lavrinenko that after catching up with the retreating German rearguard, he must give priority to the trucks carrying supplies rather than the personnel carriers.
In the current situation, how many remaining German soldiers were killed is not the main issue.
The key question is how much strength and ability the Germans have to support the next escape operation. This is the crux of the problem. Malashenko hopes that the Germans will end it on their own if they really can't escape, rather than having to do it themselves.
