Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
In the foxhole at the head of the railway bridge code-named "Lid", Borol was resting against the wall of the pit holding his rifle. Beside him, Downer and the mechanic also snored slightly, ignoring the cold wind blowing over them.
This was an ordinary time. In the afternoon, they sniped a Soviet battalion who came to seize the railway bridge. After a fierce battle that was not too difficult, they successfully repulsed the temporarily assembled together. The attack aircraft hovering above his head made the Soviet army unable to thrive on any idea of ​​a strong attack, and could only send some small troops to die.
However, it is clear that the Soviets did not intend to send troops back to take back their railway bridge early in the morning. Just as Borol and others were drowsy, a heavy shell landed not far in front of the bridgehead where the Germans were stationed.
The loud explosions and the huge black smoke pillars over a dozen floors awoke all the sleepy German soldiers. They lay prone in their foxholes and trenches, and looked not far away. The location of an exploding huge shell. The second shell also landed not far away, and the huge air waves mixed with the cold wind, like a knife on everyone's face.
The shock, the shock that made people tremble, as if coming from a distance. As if it were an earthquake, these large-caliber shells tore the nearby ground and shocked the hearts of all German troops. These cannons were 203 mm caliber large caliber artillery, which was already considered a super heavy artillery in the German army, but apparently in the Soviet army opposite, they were now used as ordinary weapons in the offensive and were used in the battle for the bridgehead.
"It's more damaging than the American 155mm caliber howitzer, this is a 203mm Soviet heavy artillery." With his bare wrist holding his steel helmet, Downer squinted at the huge smoke column rising in the distance. He had never seen the Soviet artillery fire, but now he finally knows that the other party is definitely a world-class opponent at least in terms of artillery power.
Borol also narrowed his eyes to the shock wave blowing, and the sand hit the helmet and crackled, but he did not seem to be afraid of the exploding large-caliber shells: "I heard that he turned around and ran away near Marin. The unit, the commander is called Rokosovsky ... General Liszt said it was a difficult opponent. "
He said while holding up the telescope in front of his chest. On the side of the road subgrade in the distance, Soviet soldiers were crossing obstacles such as fences by the afterglow of the sun. Some unseen tanks were driving on the highway. It is much thicker than those tanks that have been engaged in combat.
"Are you sure that General Liszt is not making excuses for his troops?" Downer glanced at Borol next to him and asked with a joke.
"Yes! I'm sure! And very sure, this is definitely a tough group of opponents!" Borol put down the telescope in his hand, and said with some frustration: "Go inform the frontier machine gun position over there, don't fire easily! Their artillery preparations are not over yet, they are already preparing for the attack! The rifle coordination is doing very well, not just for nothing! "
"My mother!" Downer heard the battalion commander said, quickly rolled around, retreated to the traffic trench behind him, stooped and ran out. The opponents who can make Borol so valued must not be ordinary characters anymore. It's a problem. The time less than an hour before the sun goes down is the time to really test them.
"Damn! It's really time to pick ... It seems that during the battle in the middle, there was no white fight." Borol looked up at the sky in the distance. The German aircraft had already returned because the sky was getting dark. Now, the most deadly air strike in the German team has lost its due role.
Rokosovsky is not a Khrushchev-like military commander. He is a regular military commander and has very high combat command quality. In the middle, because of his main offensive force, his troops did not lose much of the German air strikes, so he also accumulated the most abundant air defense experience.
So his troops launched a real attack only when it was dark, intending to completely destroy the German troops guarding the bridge with one impact. Although there are risks in doing so, it is much better than risking the German army's planes and fighting for the loss without success.
Without waiting for Boroldo to think, the Soviet Red Army's artillery began to extend its attack. One after another, the shells landed on the German position, and everyone was unable to lift their heads. The shrapnel flew everywhere, and some unlucky soldiers began to suffer casualties. Borol leaned his face against the dirt as much as possible, and closed his eyes as the cannonball flew over.
The German paratroopers are more battle-prone super aces than the Soviet main force who is preparing to attack. They listened to the sound of shells falling, and felt like they were lying in bed listening to rock music; , Just as comfortable as when enjoying a massage.
These soldiers survived the most brutal battlefield, and everyone has the ability to live to the end on the battlefield. Instead of being intimidated by the dense artillery fire, they waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the enemy sent them to let them slaughter.
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" At the forefront, a tentative machine gun position suddenly fired, and the bullet instantly knocked down the Soviet soldiers who had been close to hundreds of meters. The machine gun position suddenly fired and suddenly stopped. Shooting is as if it never happened.
Then Soviet soldiers began to fight back violently in the direction of the position, and even some tanks rushed up, blocking the shooting angle of the machine gun position with their huge bodies. It is a pity that the German machine gunners have shifted their positions and have already returned to another firepower point, waiting quietly for the moment of full fire.
"The protruding machine gun position with two wings, let go of the opponent's tanks, concentrate on dealing with the infantry behind those tanks ... and hand over the enemy's heavy tanks to the people on our main position." Borol issued the combat command, and then signaled a counter The tank team began to be in place.
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" When the Soviet tanks were close to the bridgehead, the German machine gun positions on both wings finally opened fire. The two sides exchanged fire at very close positions. The German army had an absolute advantage in the firepower density of the pouring ammunition. For a time, the long guns and short guns fired together, turning the Soviet infantry behind the tank dizzy.
This time the Germans were fully firepowered, and the German paratroopers were more advanced in weaponry than the general German army. This allowed the Soviets to see how many pounds their opponents had. One after another, Soviet soldiers screamed and fell down, and even the Soviet tanks that were left behind finally realized that something seemed wrong.
"Bang!" An iron fist rocket flew out of the foxhole in the corner and directly hit the tail of a rammed T-34 tank. This rocket penetrated the rear armor of the T-34, leading Burning the engine inside, let this tank burn quickly. Soon it exploded and became a burning debris on the position.
The German anti-tank team on the other side was not so lucky. They aimed at the front armor of the Stalin tank and fired a rocket, but they only made the behemoth shake a little, and did not even stop. Iron Fist, an individual anti-tank weapon developed before World War II, finally showed its flaw of insufficient power in front of Stalin tanks.
"Damn! That new tank is really strong! It is indeed the new equipment used by the Soviet Union to fight against our tiger tank!" Borol, holding his telescope, saw that his troops on the outer positions were fiercely fighting the opponents, a little anxious. Said. His troops are suffering casualties, and the battle has been plunged into a tragic situation from the beginning.
"Return with a mortar! Try to delay the time! The paratroopers behind our defense line cannot be easily exposed. It can be dragged for a while, just for a while!" After thinking about it, he asked Donner to withdraw the biggest loss. And then use the battalion ’s mortar to block the opponent ’s attack.
The opponent was obviously reluctant to allow Borol to easily withdraw his troops. Some Soviet infantrymen bite the Germans under the cover of tanks. Although the losses of the opponent were heavier, they also caused a lot of casualties to the German paratroopers. Less than 20 minutes after the battle began, 35 soldiers were killed in Borol ’s forces.
"Bang!" Another hidden iron fist anti-tank team launched an attack. With the lessons just learned, they now prioritize the thinly armored T-34 tanks, and the heavy Stalin tanks are now in a position on the German paratrooper positions. The state of being completely stocked.
The machine gun on a Stalin tank fired violently, and two German anti-tank hands who were moving backward fell to the ground. A Soviet anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun not far away suddenly fired, and the shells hit the Stalin tank like raindrops. Because it was the fragile side of the tank, the dense anti-aircraft shells finally achieved their purpose and successfully interrupted the tank. Track, and destroyed the support wheel and the power wheel.
An anti-tank team prepared for a long time later finally found a chance. They fired a rocket and accurately hit this paralyzed Stalin tank, making this tank that has been raging on the German position for a long time. Blasted into a pile of scrap iron.
Borol frowned, because the battle was only just beginning.
