Malashenko has been observing the battlefield situation, and while issuing orders, he is also aware of the overall situation and every change on the battlefield.
Malashenko eagerly wanted to know where the bottom line of these German artillery bastards was, the last bottom line that could be tolerated in order to avoid hurting friendly forces. This was both the Germans' bottom line and his own safety line. After crossing this line, he would
There is no need to endure the annoying and disgusting shelling anymore. After this, the next step is to actually press the German to the ground, rub and beat him.
In terms of close combat, Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division has never been defeated by any German army. Whether it is the SS or the Wehrmacht, they can kill it and return with a huge defeat, and this time is no exception.
Finally, when Malashenko and his troops rushed to less than two hundred meters away from the German position, the annoying and hateful shelling finally stopped and stopped roaring.
"Two hundred meters... damn, these idiots can really keep their composure! The heavy artillery group's bombardment did not stop until the last two hundred meters away from friendly forces. What a bunch of lunatics!"
Malashenko, who was cursing secretly in his heart, vowed to make the German artillerymen look good to the German artillerymen who dared to show off in front of him, but first, taking down the enemy's German positions was the top priority.
Once the protection of the heavy artillery cluster is lost, the German bastard's strength in front of him is not enough to fill his teeth.
Just when he was about to spread his arms and officially start the killing, Malashenko suddenly thought of a very important thing. An issue that is easily ignored and missed may cause serious consequences and extremely bad troubles.
It must be dealt with as soon as possible. Malashenko's first emergency action was to grab the radio transmitter hanging at hand.
"I am Malashenko! Don't charge with the follow-up reinforcements. I repeat it again! The Germans' hidden artillery fire points have not been found and cleared. The follow-up reinforcements are on standby. Don't charge yet! Wait for my order!"
According to the scheduled combat plan, Gornakov's troops will immediately follow up after Malashenko's troops form a frontal breakthrough, quickly pour in from the opened gap in the German position, consolidate the breakthrough point and further penetrate into the German defense line.
Expand results in depth.
The final victory was won under the cover of the powerful direct firepower of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, at least that was the original plan.
But now, as the field commander, Malashenko had to temporarily change this order and suspend the subsequent follow-up charge of large reinforcements.
Where exactly the hidden artillery fire points of the Germans are, and how these bastards survived the artillery fire preparations, all kinds of uncertain and bad situations are still unknown at present.
Having already rushed to the position and getting involved with the Germans, it is even less likely to call for artillery support from our own side to launch another wave of land clearing towards the suspicious coordinates. The Germans' artillery is afraid of hurting friendly forces, so why not Malashenko's side?
In the same way, once a close combat situation occurs, the direct artillery support of both warring parties will be banned at the same time.
Unless you have the intention of dying with the enemy, the option of artillery support is never available.
And without taking care of the Germans' hidden artillery firepower, ordering follow-up reinforcements to launch a charge was an act of suicide.
Gornakov's unit was just a newly formed ordinary infantry division that didn't even have the title of Guards. Not to mention its low level of mechanization, it didn't even have a single tank. It was a pure infantry unit.
Although he left some medium tanks to provide cover for the accompanying charge, Malashenko knew clearly that these medium tanks could not save the infantry shrouded in artillery fire. Even the Tianling Caps of the heavy tanks could not withstand a single shot.
If a medium-sized tank is hit by a large-caliber artillery attack, it will be difficult to protect itself. In this case, talking about the protection of infantry is pure nonsense.
If Gornakov did not realize the seriousness of the problem and launched the charge according to the original plan, Malashenko estimated that the number of people who would die under the heavy bombardment of the Germans in this wave would have to be reduced by a thousand.
Injuries are counted separately.
Thousands of lives were wasted in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Germans who were already destined to lose. We, Comrade Ma, would not do such a loss-making business.
Malashenko firmly believed that the main force of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division could cope with the current situation.
The resistance of the Germans did become more intense as the assault progressed, but this intensity was not stronger than our own heavy direct fire support.
Fascism's firepower is not weak, but the Red Army's firepower is stronger!
Needless to say, this kind of close-quarters battle is about the stronger ability to pour out firepower. As long as my firepower is strong enough and I can form an overwhelming advantage, I can kill you even with cannonballs and bullets.
Damn it, this is an overwhelming strength advantage that makes no sense at all.
It is obvious that, just like most of the battles experienced by Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division in the past, the overwhelming strength advantage once again stood on the side of Malashenko or the Red Army.
Da da da da da——
Whoosh--cracking--
boom--
"Stop! Stop everyone! The German machine guns have blocked the traffic trench, don't rush!"
Cleaning up all the traffic trenches and trenches that spread across the entire position like a spider web is a must-have battle scenario when a position is fortified. Infantry offensive and defensive tactics revolve around this combat issue and many offensive and defensive tactics are applied.
The German guys opposite were obviously not just minions on the roadside. The machine gun bunker built at the end of a straight-line traffic trench was extremely tricky.
The continuous burst of fire suppression made any idea of crossing this traffic trench an unfeasible idea, but there was no other way to get deeper into the position. Jumping out of the traffic trench and charging would only lead to death.
Faster, behind the machine gun bunker is the area actually controlled by the Germans, and countless black holes are waiting for the Red Army soldiers.
This disgusting machine gun bunker must be taken down, even if it is equipped with dual machine guns to ensure uninterrupted firepower output.
Through the first failed charge, we have learned how strong the German machine gun bunkers are. Ordinary grenade attacks have no effect at all. The machine gun bunkers reinforced with layers of civil structures are enough to withstand the explosive impact of grenades. Unless you can follow the machine gun holes.
Throwing a grenade in, but under the current circumstances and distance, is basically equivalent to trying to eat shit.
The Iron Fist can definitely blast this machine gun bunker, and the range is sufficient, but the problem is that this crazy machine gun barrage that covers your face doesn't even give you a chance to aim. The Iron Fist cannot turn, so it is a proper direct-aim shooting weapon. But
As long as you dare to step out and take aim, you will definitely be torn into pieces by the extremely fast-shooting twin MG42s in the next second, and there will be no chance of anything else.
After much deliberation, there was only one solution left. He looked back and nodded to the deputy platoon leader who was following closely behind him. The two platoon leaders leading the assault took them off at the same time from his waist.
The grenade is just a round columnar shape that is very different from the commonly used lemon grenade.
Of course, you can't expect two smoke bombs that can only spray white smoke to cause any substantial damage to the Germans. It's even more unthinkable to use smoke to block the road in an attempt to break in. Such a narrow traffic trench will not be able to escape even if it is sealed with smoke.
Farting in your pants is the same as not sealing them.
But, who says that the smoke must be used to obscure the view?
Smoke can play many roles and has a wide range of tactical uses. For example, you can summon several powerful IS6 heavy tanks, use the main gun to load 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenades, and fire concentrated fire at the area where the smoke disperses.
