"Set up the launch tube." After Guchakov ordered the troops to stop advancing, the first order he issued was to set up the rocket launch tube and prepare for launch: "After locking the enemy's target, launch it immediately."
The soldiers were already familiar with the use of rocket launchers, and they were ready to launch in less than two minutes. Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Guchakov raised his hands high above his head, and then fiercely
He waved down and shouted loudly: "Launch!"
Following Guchakov's order, twelve rockets flew towards the place where the German troops gathered. This batch of launches had just ended, and before there was time to see the results, Guchakov ordered to reload and prepare for the attack.
Second launch.
The first twelve rockets quickly landed in the enemy's ranks and exploded, blowing the German officers and soldiers who were pushing the trucks to pieces. Some of the trucks that were stuck in the mud were blown away by the gas from the explosion.
The waves overturned them; some tarpaulins caught fire and were burning; some were directly blown to pieces by rocket bombs, and all kinds of corpses were lying around them.
Before the enemy could escape, another batch of rockets flew over, landed at the same place and exploded again. After this explosion, the road was full of burning truck wreckage, with fire and billowing black smoke. There were originally two or three
Of the hundreds of German officers and soldiers pushing carts, no more than ten of them could stand up after the two explosions.
After Guchakov clearly saw the mess of the German army through the telescope, he immediately issued an order to his men to attack. In one moment, more than two hundred soldiers rushed out of the forest with their own weapons, walking through the mud.
along the road and rushed towards the chaotic German army ahead.
The area under attack was the area where the German infantry was located, while the tank column in front was intact. When they noticed that Soviet troops were rushing out of the nearby forest, many tanks parked on the road adjusted their muzzles and pointed in the distance.
The charging Soviet commanders and fighters carried out artillery fire.
The artillery shells fell and exploded in the formation of the Soviet army. Although Guchakov kept each soldier at a sufficient distance in order to reduce the casualties of the troops. However, the enemy's artillery shells fell and exploded in the formation, and soldiers were still in danger of being exploded from time to time.
They were blown away by waves or knocked down by flying debris. In just a minute or two, forty or fifty soldiers fell under the enemy's fire.
Fortunately, the anti-tank troops acted quickly. They quickly approached the German tanks, hid in the blind spot of the enemy's artillery fire, and aimed at the enemy tanks and opened fire.
The 41st Guards Division is issued a rocket launcher developed by Sokov, which is a sharp weapon for attacking tanks. Let alone fifty or sixty meters apart, even a hundred meters apart can still penetrate the side armor of German tanks. Six rocket launchers at the same time
Shooting, the rockets destroyed four tanks.
Due to the poor visibility inside the tanks, the remaining tanks did not notice that their companions' tanks were destroyed, and still aimed at the Soviet soldiers charging in the distance for artillery fire.
After destroying four German tanks, the anti-tank fighters continued to advance. Although these anti-tank fighters had not been trained for a long time, due to the short shooting distance and the huge German tanks, they were stuck in the muddy road and could not
It was moving, and the distance was so close, it would be strange to miss. In this way, the anti-tank fighters launched two more attacks, destroying all the remaining tanks.
Although the German army is usually aggressive and showy, once they lose the cover of the tanks, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The tanks were destroyed, and the firepower of the remaining armored vehicles was not enough to suppress the Soviet attack. Therefore, some soldiers saw the situation
Unfortunately, when they saw the Soviet troops rushing over, they fled the battlefield in a hurry without even firing a shot.
This battle did not last long, but the results were not bad. A total of 20 German tanks, 14 armored vehicles and 25 trucks were destroyed, and countless enemies were killed and wounded.
Sokov learned that the troops commanded by Guchakov had successfully severely damaged the enemy. While he was very happy, he also felt a little worried. In this battle, more than half of Guchakov's troops suffered casualties. If such a victory were to come again,
At this time, all the commanders and fighters who are good at fighting will be lost. At that time, it will be simply impossible to win with a group of new recruits.
After Hausser learned that the troops he sent had been attacked by the Soviet army and suffered almost all casualties, he immediately threw away the coffee cup in his hand. This cup was given to him by someone in France, saying that it was used by Louis XVI.
He liked the coffee cup so much that he even cleaned it himself every time, fearing that the orderly would be clumsy and damage the cup.
But when he heard that the troops he sent had suffered heavy losses again, he couldn't help but become angry and prepared to send more troops south. However, his order was rejected by the commander of the 6th Armored Division. He said sternly: "I have equipped
The 2nd Battalion of the 114th Regiment with half-track armored personnel carriers is currently the strongest unit in our division. But after encountering the Russians, they suffered heavy losses in less than an hour, and less than a quarter of them escaped.
.If you still want to send my men south, I'm worried that it won't be long before my troops will only have an empty number left."
"What about you, General Etling?" Seeing that the commander of the 6th Armored Division refused to carry out his order, Hausser could only place his hope on the commander of the 17th Armored Division, Major General Etling: "Can your troops fight against the enemy?"
Russian city attack?"
"General Hausser, please forgive me." Seeing the heavy casualties of friendly forces, Etling was unwilling to easily let his troops take risks, so he said to Hauser: "The reason why the troops of the 6th Armored Division are so...
It almost failed, and the reason is very simple. In the past two days, the outside has started to thaw, and the roads have become muddy. Our tanks and armored vehicles cannot move at all. Once they get stuck in the quagmire, they will become targets for Russian attacks, so
We cannot act rashly until the roads become conducive to the passage of tanks."
The reason why Etling said this to Hausser was because he understood that he was in the Wehrmacht, and Hauser was commanding the SS. Judging from the recent battle situation, his superiors were prepared to sacrifice the Wehrmacht.
, to complete the SS, let the Wehrmacht and the Russians fight for attrition, and then put the SS divisions into battle when the two sides are almost fighting. In this way, the Wehrmacht will suffer the most casualties, and those who win and gain fame will be
It was the SS, and he didn't want his troops to serve as cannon fodder.
Seeing that the two armored division commanders of the Wehrmacht were unwilling to send their own troops to attack, Hausser could not force him too close. After all, after Sokov's troubles, his three SS divisions needed to go through a period of
Only after time to rest can he return to the battle. Therefore, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, two generals, then I will give you two more days to rest. After two days, no matter what the road conditions are,
