The cruelest and bloodiest close-quarters fighting began. Even though the German troops on the position did not want to fight this kind of battle or face it, the Red Army soldiers who vowed to defeat the enemy still held onto their weapons tightly and rushed to the position.
.
"Attention, all crews, fire the main gun with caution, and use the machine gun cover to shoot against the Germans first! Be careful of accidentally injuring our people!"
The 122 Heirloom with a big thick tube is not a small and mini 85mm main gun. A blast of a high-explosive grenade with a full charge is a proper AOE for large-scale damage.
Worried about what might happen to his gang of muscle-headed brats, Kurbalov picked up the radio at hand and urgently gave the final order. Use the main gun with caution, and try to use machine guns to deal with the enemy beforehand.
With the well-arranged tactics, the Germans currently do not have an effective defensive position to rely on. Defending without danger does not require too many blasts from the main gun.
Using machine guns to deal with enemies is naturally a superior strategy that can effectively achieve tactical goals without causing too much risk.
If Kulbalov had not given these two final reminders, the Red Army gunners, almost all of whom were violent maniacs, would most likely have chosen to use 122 grenades to completely destroy the German army. After all, the feeling of killing them all with one shot was comparable.
It's much more refreshing to use a machine gun to call everyone one by one.
In fact, just as Kulbalov had predicted earlier, the Red Army soldiers who rushed to the so-called "German position" did not encounter much stubborn resistance.
The so-called fortification bunkers that the vast majority of German infantry rely on are just the craters blasted out by the Red Army's 152 Shenjiao and Katyusha rocket launchers. Each of these large craters is already a dangerous place for the German army to defend.
, the best defensive position you can find, other than that, you can only hide behind the wreckage of your own tanks and vehicles and keep firing.
There were no effective echelon defense positions, no cross-machine gun fire network arranged in advance, and no heavy fire cover sufficient to suppress the Red Army...
This was a battle that basically determined the final outcome from the very beginning. The German infantry fought a miserable and extremely difficult battle.
"Fix bayonets! The Russians are coming!"
"Are you crazy? There are so many of them, they can kill us by just stabbing and fighting."
"Otherwise, what will you do? Wait until you go to Siberia to suffer for the Russians..."
Da da da da——
The two German infantrymen hiding in the Katyusha rocket crater didn't even finish their words. Suddenly, a Red Army soldier rushed up from the blind spot, raised the Bobosha in his hand and shot without saying a word.
The bullets that hit instantly like water splashed directly took away the two German soldiers in a shuttle. The two German soldiers with bullet holes everywhere on their faces, arms, shoulders, and chests immediately fell into a pool of blood without saying a word.
, the originally planned opportunity for hand-to-hand combat with a bayonet never even came to pass.
For Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, which has an astonishing level of automatic firepower, the era of fighting Germans face to face with bayonets is already a thing of the past. Battles that can be resolved with guns will never use bayonets and fists. This is what the division leader said.
Comrade Ma has been instilling this concept in all infantry commanders and combatants, including Varosha, for a long time.
The influence of this top-down concept has been implemented to the grassroots level. Even those recruits who have just been dispatched to Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division know that staying in such an elite unit of the entire Red Army
In the tank army, you don't need to think about saving ammunition at all. As long as you still have ammunition, just pull the trigger on the Germans as hard as you can.
Of course, if you still open your mouth and throw water when you are short of ammunition, regardless of the situation, then you have misunderstood the words of comrade division commander and committed the error of rigid dogmatism. Your brain is not as good as comrade division commander.
Dime relationship.
Time and time again, relying on the combat mode of tank knights, they directly eliminated long-range and medium-to-long distance infantry exchanges. Whenever the infantry of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division went into battle to engage in firefights, they were absolutely forced to reach the final center.
The extent of close range firefights.
The shortcoming of the automatic weapon's lack of range is perfectly compensated, and the advantage of the fierce firepower of splashing water at the beginning of the fight is further amplified.
The ones who have the most say on whether the combat mode is ferocious enough or not are the German infantrymen who are currently being pushed to the ground and blasted with explosive hammers.
"Bullets, machine gun bullets! The deputy shooter is killed. Someone help me load the bullets! Hurry!"
"These Russian guys are too strong! They have submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in their hands. We don't have enough firepower!"
"Hold on, hold on! Don't retreat, reinforcements will be here soon! Hold on!"
Do the Germans really have reinforcements on the way?
The answer is yes. The German major who was trying to stabilize the situation did not lie. Knowing that he was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back, the German commander who broke out had no choice but to use his most precious and final trump card: the SS.
The Army Viking Armored Division was split into two parts.
The group with the strongest combat power and the largest number of troops continued to advance fiercely, striving to defeat the Russian tank army in front of them in the shortest possible time, and to open a breakthrough path to continue advancing at all costs.
As for the small part of the Viking division that was transferred to the rear, it was used to prevent this group of unknown but extremely powerful Russians from chasing after them from behind.
The controllable range was completely destroyed.
That's right, the headquarters of the German breakout army still doesn't know what kind of enemy is chasing them. They don't know the number of the enemy's troops, how many troops they have, and what kind of tactical objectives they have received. They just simply know
These Russians are chasing after them in such a hurry. They definitely don't come to give their side a happy farewell by beating gongs and drums.
If you still want to successfully break out, taking action as soon as possible to stop the group of Russians who are about to start a quarrel behind you is undoubtedly the best choice under the premise that the intelligence information between the enemy and ourselves is unequal.
As the saying goes, a small thing can make a big difference. The complete collapse and out-of-control situation of the entire war situation had a huge impact on the German army. This can be seen from this.
If in normal times, the German army was good at attacking fiercely, destroying the enemy in the assault, and thoroughly implementing the truth that offense is the best defense, it would be impossible for the German army to be beaten to the point where its brains were about to flow out without knowing the name of the opponent.
who.
An obvious counterexample is that the battle group in Kursk, which was composed of three elite SS armored divisions at that time, was fully aware that its opponent was the notorious "Iron Butcher" Malashenko.
They made highly targeted battle arrangements in an attempt to pin down the ace tank unit of the Red Army, which had caused great trouble to the German army, in the encirclement.
Therefore, when the overall strategic situation goes downhill, this will not only be reflected in specific battles, but also in the degree of battlefield intelligence and information mastery.
