The infantry of the Wehrmacht, which lacked heavy weapons and only had some individual light weapons, could not do anything to this convoy. The well-prepared SS troops even installed them in the truck compartment. Although they were very thin, they were just enough to withstand rifle bullets.
and bulletproof steel plates for pistol bullets. It is not an exaggeration to say that these trucks that are still moving forward at high speed are mobile infantry positions.
If you want to attack these iron-skinned bastards, you have to use something like an anti-tank gun. For infantry, you must at least have something like an iron fist or a small-caliber machine gun.
Regrettably, this incomplete infantry division of the Wehrmacht has suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy losses in the fierce battles with the Soviet army in the past few days. Basically, all kinds of light and heavy technical equipment were lost. The limited number of divisional anti-aircraft guns were also too burdensome.
The marching speed was abandoned by the roadside.
As for the anti-tank gun that tried to fire just now but was killed by the SS on the spot, considering that the Russian pursuers must be mainly high-mobility tank troops, the anti-tank gun will definitely come in handy.
Moreover, the 75mm anti-tank gun itself is not too heavy, and is much easier to carry than the clumsy Pak 43 88mm anti-tank gun. It is not a problem for limited trucks to tow one to carry the wounded.
Lacking heavy weapons on hand, the almost zero Wehrmacht infantry found it difficult to even approach. The empty garrison in the wilderness was unobstructed and there were no bunkers for movement.
As long as the Wehrmacht infantry dared to advance even half a minute, the hail of bullets that hit their heads and faces would immediately kill them.
Some machine gun teams that had just arrived to support had not thought about using barrages to blast those trucks. It was just that the machine guns had just been set up and it took less than half a belt of ammunition to fire out. Those who didn't know what they had
No matter how experienced the enemy is, they will immediately retaliate with ferocious attacks, ranging from counter-suppression with several machine guns to straight sweep with machine guns at worst.
These battles lacked cover, and the Wehrmacht machine gun team that lay down and fired was extremely miserable. If you were lucky, you could at least leave a whole body. If you were unlucky, both the man and the gun would be torn apart by the machine gun barrage.
Got fragments.
It is very rare for the defender to be suppressed by the sudden attack after reacting, but the current real situation is like this, and it is not bad at all.
The battle was going more smoothly than he expected, and Scott felt relieved. At this moment, he could already see the material storage area not far away through the car window.
Several Wehrmacht soldiers running around like frightened rats were preparing to intercept with guns, but the most powerful firepower among them was just an mg42 general-purpose machine gun that had been targeted by the SS convoy.
With this level of defensive strength, Scott even dared to say that destroying them was no more difficult than crushing an ant.
The SS convoy, which had carried enough ammunition before departure, was now furiously outputting firepower regardless of ammunition consumption. The ammunition they carried with them was all gone, and they were bent over to resupply equipment in the compartments of trucks and half-tracks.
Boxes and boxes of bullets and grenades were placed at my feet, within easy reach.
Fighting with such ferocious and brutal destructive firepower, it is natural to suppress the Wehrmacht who only have substandard light weapons in their hands. The dawn of victory is already waving to Scott and his SS troops at this moment, and they have obtained those
After the oil was quickly withdrawn, his mission was considered complete.
Unexpected situations always happen at the same time without you realizing it.
That is to say, when Scott was leading a massacre against the last remnants of the Wehrmacht defenders, he suddenly heard this in the quiet dark night at Stalin's headquarters of the 1st Guards Tank Division, which was only three kilometers away.
Malashenko was startled out of bed by the sudden sound of gunshots and explosions.
"What's going on!? Report the situation! Where is the firefight!?"
Malashenko, who rushed back from the front army headquarters overnight with orders, had just finished his work. Less than ten minutes after he lay down on the camp bed with his clothes on, he was suddenly knocked out of bed by the sudden burst of firefights in the dark night.
The whole body was pulled up cleverly.
Malashenko, who was buttoning up his clothes and walked quickly into the tent hall of the division headquarters, immediately asked questions repeatedly. He saw that the telegraph machine in the division headquarters was already buzzing with all kinds of urgent incoming and outgoing calls.
Everyone is confirming the latest situation.
"Hey, this is the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division! No, our division has not launched an attack. The time of the general attack has not changed yet. The sound of exchange of fire was not made by our division. Our troops have not taken action."
"Hello? The 17th Guards Infantry Division? We heard a firefight. What? You don't know? It wasn't initiated by your division? Okay, I understand. Contact us again."
"No, I repeat it again! The attack was not initiated by our division, our troops are still in place and ready to stand by."
A large group of people in the division headquarters are all as busy as a wound-up machine. Various phone calls and phone ringing are ringing non-stop, just like the China Mobile customer service headquarters. They are giving orders in front of the telegraph machine.
Political Commissar Petrov saw that Malashenko had arrived, then turned around and walked forward proactively, speaking as he walked.
"It's not clear yet. The sound of the exchange of fire just came not long ago. We received calls from several other neighboring divisions. They were also confused and couldn't figure out what happened. They thought the attack time had been advanced. Our division
The first one to launch the attack, come and ask us about the specific situation and whether we need to cooperate."
"But we did not receive such an order from our superiors at all, and the troops did not move. The sound of the exchange of fire came from the front of our division's defense area, but judging from the distance and direction of the sound, it was very abnormal! It sounded like it was coming from
From the depths of the German garrison, it can be confirmed that no Red Army unit has established a salient at such a forward point, something is wrong! Malashenko."
"..."
Malashenko, who was still a little sleepy just now, has widened his eyes and is completely sleepless. What Comrade Political Commissar said made Comrade Ma have three question marks on his head. What if the Great Patriotic War can also happen?
As for emoticons, Malashenko now specifies that he wants to send a black question mark emoticon to express his feelings. Who knows what the hell is going on!
"Could it be...could it be that those German guys were having internal strife? They couldn't agree on whether to surrender or continue fighting, so they just started fighting with each other?"
Malashenko, who even found it a bit unbelievable to himself, thought this and said it directly to the political commissar in front of him. Although he thought this hypothesis was crazy, the political commissar who really couldn't deny it just shook his head.
Shake his head.
"I don't know. I have never encountered a situation like today. I have already ordered to contact the front army headquarters. I believe that Comrade Commander will give us an order soon."
