Being targeted by the 12.7mm Deshka is already quite troublesome. The gun shield of the German anti-tank gun can't stop the armor-piercing projectile of this thing from shooting straight into the face. It can't do anything to the German anti-tank artillery behind the gun shield.
protective effect.
But now, the only remaining German anti-tank artillerymen on the position desperately found that they were now targeted by something even scarier than the Deshka, which was a Russian small-caliber machine gun with a high rate of fire.
Don't get me wrong, this small caliber is only relative to the concept of "cannon".
If you use the standard of "gun", there is no need to explain the concept of 25mm. Being killed by armor-piercing bullets instead of exploding high-explosive bullets is considered "humane destruction".
High-explosive fragments flying in all directions, high-explosive projectiles that may explode at your feet or around you at any time, and who knows whether they will penetrate the artillery shield steel plate without any suspense in the next second, killing the unlucky comrades hiding behind or themselves.
A terrifying armor-piercing bullet that tore the entire person into two pieces.
As long as the Russian machine guns were still firing, the German anti-tank artillery felt like they were falling into an abyss.
After being covered by a wave of heavy artillery fire, there were very few remaining anti-tank guns, and now they were focused on by such a group of small-caliber machine guns. The German anti-tank artillery, struggling to survive in the barrage storm, sadly discovered that now this
The current situation, whether he continues to fight or flees for his life, seems to be the same as courting death.
The difference is that if you hold your head and lower your head and hide, you may live longer. If you turn around and run away, you may have less than a 1% chance of survival. And if you dare to load cannonballs and fire at those steel monsters, then I'm sorry, I don't care about you.
Whether you can kill the target or not, it will make you die faster without any suspense, and it will definitely be a sure death, and you will not even have a chance to run away.
You have to walk your own path, and the choice you make is the right of the desperate struggling German anti-tank artillerymen. Others have no right to interfere. Anyway, there are indeed many corpses who were blocked or directly exploded into a puddle of flesh.
It’s just everywhere.
"Follow me in a row! Charge, Ula!!!"
The final charge was so close that most of the remaining light and heavy firepower points on the German position were indiscriminately suppressed by our own tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, almost to the point of being completely muted.
Seeing that the time had come, Alsim dodged and rushed out. Taking the lead with the bayonet in his hand, Alsim jumped into the German trench in front of him.
"Oh!"
"Um!?"
As soon as he landed, his feet felt weak. Alsim, who was extremely vigilant, lowered his head and moved the muzzle of the gun to his feet. At a glance, he saw a wounded German soldier with half an arm left under his feet.
, the bastard’s other still intact hand actually wanted to pick up the pistol that fell not far ahead.
Seeing this, Alsim said nothing, raised his gun, pointed it at the back of the German's neck, and stabbed him hard.
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the sharp bayonet blade pierced out from the Adam's apple, killing the wounded German soldier instantly with a splash of blood.
As soon as he pulled out his gun, several soldiers from the guard squad jumped into the trench and came to the side of their comrade, the company commander.
After looking around and confirming the terrain, Alsim pointed forward like a knife, and blurted out the command that was on his lips.
"Trench ahead, alternate cover and move forward, go up!"
Not only Alsim's company of combat engineers, but also the other two companies of combat engineers who rushed up on infantry fighting vehicles, all opened up the situation at this moment, poured into the trenches, and started doing their best tricks.
Good show: close combat with Germans.
In the first wave of charges, the entire combat engineer battalion was invested in order to maximize the suddenness of the new equipment and enhance its power. The most elite infantry and the latest combined equipment were used to catch the Germans by surprise, striving to be the first wave
The assault was to capture the Germans' first line of defense and achieve victory.
This is the combat plan advocated by Colonel Kurbalov, the commander of the 1st Heavy Combined Brigade. Of course, it was also reported to the division commander Comrade Malashenko and approved.
This is indeed very risky. If the equipment does not work as expected, the entire combat engineer battalion may be lost, resulting in heavy losses. This is an absolute sum of money for a total of two battalions in the division, one for each brigade.
The Pimple Troops really cannot afford to lose.
However, Malashenko, who had detailed and in-depth exchanges with Kotin at the rear and was well aware of the power of the combination of infantry fighting vehicles and elite infantry, had high hopes for the BMP43, a new gadget that was participating in actual combat for the first time.
Almost without blinking an eye, he directly approved Kurbalov's battle plan that even the political commissar hesitated after seeing it.
"I know what you want to say, but I'm not crazy. The German guy will be beaten to shit by Kulbalov. I have no doubt about it. Just wait and see."
Malashenko, who was holding the commander's periscope and looking at the Western scene in his car, certainly still remembered what he said to his political commissar.
You have your say, and my brother never goes back on his word.
Just looking at the situation in front of him, not only the German guy's shit was beaten out, but even his shit intestines were about to be pulled out by Kulbalov. He was attacked by a wave of mechanized swarms riding on the face at high speed, and he didn't even have time to react.
Entering the close combat phase, I guess the German guy had nothing but a confused look on his face.
For the remnants of the German soldiers who had been beaten up and down on the battlefield, this was actually only the beginning of a nightmare, and it was far from the end.
Kulbalov, who was completely unyielding in dealing with the Germans, saw that the situation was opening up and the attack was going smoothly. Then he issued an order and launched his second sword: he had all the tanks in the entire division, except for the monster car of the division commander.
The fastest T43 medium tank group is also fully loaded with external infantry.
The first wave of heavy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles swarm charge has opened up the offensive path. The German positions are currently in a state of chaos. They are too busy to take care of themselves and have no intention of intercepting and blocking the second wave of Soviet troops.
Relatively speaking, the T43 medium tank group, which is thin and bulky but has excellent maneuverability and good firepower, has become the best choice for direct fire support tasks and transporting the second batch of infantry.
What? You said that there are heavy tanks and a bunch of infantry fighting vehicles in front of the German position, so what kind of direct fire support is needed?
Come on, how can there be enough firepower? As long as there are still Germans alive on the position who dare to resist, then the firepower is still insufficient. This is what Comrade Division Commander said personally at the division mobilization meeting. Kulbalov said to
This is called a deep belief.
However, what Malashenko did not tell Kulbalov is that it is actually a pity to use medium tanks to do this job, but there are no faster and more powerful big eight wheels these days. Since the equipment conditions are limited,
Then just use medium tanks. Anyway, medium tanks with the standard equipment of the Leader Division are only suitable for this job.
Otherwise, what's going on? Medium tanks replace heavy tanks at the front and fight the first wave of charge? If you do this, it's not putting the cart before the horse, it's just being out of your mind.
But just when Kulbalov gave the order, and the second wave of attacking troops just stepped on the accelerator and rushed out in the flying dust, an unexpected situation suddenly happened at this moment, whether it was Malashenko or Malashenko.
The urgent call could be heard on the radio of Kulbalov's command vehicle.
