To deal with this group of Germans armed with assault rifles similar to our own, the experienced platoon leader had many tricks up his sleeve.
Although the accompanying infantry battalion brought by Kulbalov is only the last battalion in the Varosha Infantry Regiment in combat effectiveness. But this does not mean that this battalion cannot fight. The combat effectiveness is too weak. It is purely just the other two infantry battalions and
The monsters in the Combat Engineer Battalion are so strong that they can tear apart German sticks even if they throw away their guns.
Therefore, when facing the group of infantrymen of the Wehrmacht who were not too elite, the combat advantage still lies with the Red Army soldiers.
Boom boom boom boom——
A series of grenade explosions stirred up large amounts of dust and dust into the air. The huge impact and concussion could be clearly felt by the Red Army soldiers who were some distance away, even if they were clinging to the trench wall for cover.
The grenade is not thrown directly by pulling out the ring, but is held in the palm of the hand and thrown after a slight delay. The core point of the tactic is to achieve the effect of dense air explosions in a row.
The string of air-burst lemon grenades thrown at them really shocked the Germans, who were stunned and unprepared. Those Russian grenades flying in the sky with parabolic trajectories gave people almost no time to react. The Germans were shocked when they saw the grenades thrown towards them.
Before the infantrymen could lie down, a series of grenades exploded in the air, scattering hot metal fragments in all directions.
These grenade fragments shot from high to low and densely shot from mid-air are far more lethal than the grenade fragments exploding on the ground.
If you look diagonally downward from the perspective of a grenade in mid-air, you will find that those German soldiers who had no time to lie down had almost all of them exposed important and fragile human body parts such as their heads, front faces, necks, and upper chests.
There is no cover within the killing range.
One can naturally imagine what the consequences will be after a series of loud explosions at a distance of less than ten meters.
"Come on, rush, rush! Hurry up!"
Once the grenade exploded, there was no hesitation or waiting. The squad leader who was further ahead than the platoon leader took the lead in picking up the AK with the bayonet, and led the squad soldiers around him to get out of the trench bunker and rush forward.
go.
The smoke and dust stirred up by a series of violent air explosions has not yet settled, slightly blocking the field of vision, but the German blockade firepower that had just filled the entire trench has disappeared.
A few swaying figures could be vaguely seen behind the dust, either struggling to stand up or picking up weapons that had fallen on the ground. The squad leader who rushed to the front said nothing and did not even take aim.
He aimed at the target and pulled the trigger in a waist-firing stance.
Dong dong dong dong——
After a raging roar of 7.62mm medium-power rifle bullets, there was no living person still standing within the field of vision. Only De, whose brains had burst, or whose upper body had been beaten into a sieve, was lying on the ground in a mess.
Stick body.
"Keep moving forward! Follow us to the next trench, move fast!"
Scenes like this have long been commonplace, and there is no need to brag about and linger over as many German soldiers as we have killed.
As the soldiers strode quickly one after another, lowering their posture and running quickly past them, and continued to move forward, the squad leader who squatted down to change the magazine of the rifle in his hand also happened to see the mysterious new weapon that fell next to the dead body of the German soldier.
gun.
Time is very tight on the battlefield, and every second is precious and cannot be wasted.
Especially the grassroots commanders and fighters who need to lead and command the team should not waste their time in useless areas.
"It's better to look back. We don't have the time now."
Pulling out a fully loaded spare magazine from the chest strap of his upper body, inserting it and pulling the load, the squad leader suppressed his curiosity and re-entered the battle and ran forward. The German rifle that he had just targeted lay lying on the owner's side.
The body next to it was soaked in the still warm blood.
Although during the first battle, he suffered certain casualties because he did not know that the enemy also had a similar new gun.
But when more and more Red Army soldiers poured into the position through the torn hole, they switched back to the passive state of fighting the enemy's new light weapons for the first time.
The Germans still had to take the beatings they deserved, and the battle between the infantry did not have any essential changes due to the investment of new German rifles.
Your German guy's firepower has been upgraded. It's a lot stronger?
Sorry, our Red Army infantry has more firepower!
This group of relatively capable Wehrmacht infantrymen on the position had only been equipped with less than half of the new rifles. Most of the German soldiers still had the old three Mauser 98k, MP40, and MP38 in their hands. But they faced
The opponent is a super-powerful infantry armed with Bobosha, AK44, and SVT-40. The lowest grades are semi-automatic rifles that can fire continuously.
In terms of firepower intensity, as usual, the German army was still no match for Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, whether it was a duel between infantry or tanks.
In terms of combat quality and the proportion of veterans, this group can only be said to be barely acceptable, better than other infantry of the current Wehrmacht. At most, it can only be regarded as the level of the German conventional infantry divisions in 1941 or 1942.
For the current German army, it is certainly good to have such a situation.
But the tragedy is that the opponent they faced was a hell-level difficulty. They were the "Stalin Guards" led by Malashenko, nicknamed "Iron Butcher". Being beaten on the ground was reasonable and not too surprising.
.
The German troops relying on the rear half of the position were still resisting desperately. The cross machine gun fire points arranged in several echelons were too tightly blocked. It was obvious that the German shooters operating the machine guns must be experienced. Five to ten rounds were counted as accurate short bursts.
It was a joy to shoot, although it was intermittent but the rhythm of the machine gun was very good.
Braving this tight blockade of machine gun fire was not an option, and the fierce and fierce offensive was temporarily blocked.
But the good times for the remaining German troops did not last long, because soon several smoking grenades flew into their faces.
The German machine gunners who relied on the reinforced low wall at the edge of the village as a machine gun bunker were not afraid of ordinary grenade explosions. But the problem was that this thing did not explode. Instead, it spun on the ground and hissed outward.
It sprays white smoke that is not too rich but is conspicuous.
"What? The Russians put poison gas???"
The gas mask box hanging on the buttocks can be taken off at any time, but this group of German machine gunners and all the surrounding German infantry who rely on the positions near the village to defend will obviously never have this opportunity again.
Boom boom boom——
What blew up the earthen wall and sent all the German soldiers into the sky, including their guns and men, was a burst of 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenades that hit their faces instantly and made no sense at all.
The tank force, which had eliminated all the German tanks, finally had its hands free. The black main gun barrel was full of high-explosive grenades that were ready to be fired. They were overwhelmed by this bad battle that had too many unexpected factors mixed in, and they were furious.
Kurbalov, who was in high spirits, held the radio transmitter in his hand and barked orders to the crews under his command.
"Blast me! Concentrate your firepower into the smoke! There is the last bunker of the Germans inside. Blast all these fascist pigs into the sky!"
