Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 16 Obtain the most difficult task, using a large number of anti-tank rifles to penetrate the firepower of heavy machine guns
Almost all the company commanders of the 985th Regiment were present.

The atmosphere was also very solemn, and everyone knew that this place was very difficult to chew.

Although two grenadier divisions and two armored divisions were dispatched this time, everyone knew that it was not easy to bite.

If it were easy to chew down, so many troops in front would not suffer heavy losses. Now it is their turn for the 985th Regiment.

"Everyone knows that this is the last territory of the Soviet army. As long as it is cut off, we will win. If it cannot be cut off for too long, we will be passive."

Colonel Jonas, the regiment leader, said it very tactfully.

"Our mission goal is to launch a final fierce attack on the tractor factory. There will also be an armored battalion to cooperate with us, because the tractor factory has a lot of tanks. At the same time, the anti-tank equipment Iron Fist Rocket Launcher transported from China will be transported for a while. Take ten in a row and go back.”

"Major Weinholtes will arrange their respective tasks for them."

Colonel Jonas looked at the major and said.

"Yes, sir"

Major Windhorst immediately stood up and began arranging tasks on the map.

"We have twelve companies in the 985th Regiment, and the third company is the most capable of fighting. What I said, who is for it and who is against it?"

Major Windhorst stood up and spoke.

This sentence also made Edward look confused. What are you doing?Wouldn’t it be nice to say that Captain Duran is not good?Why are you catching up with me?

"I agree!"

Captain Duran was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"I agree too!"

Captain Legaches of the Second Company also agreed.

The other company captains knew something about the situation and all agreed.

"There is no other way, Edward. Those who can work hard!"

Major Windhorst looked at Edward and said.

Edward was cursing in his mind, "Damn it, aren't you asking me to gnaw on the hardest bone?"

But I can't say this kind of thing in my heart.

"Thank you for your support. These are the results achieved by the bloody battles of our three companies. I don't dare to take such great credit on my own."

Edward looked humble on the outside and said numbly on the inside.

"There is a watchtower on the west side, which is a combat-ready fortification. There is about a platoon of Soviet troops stationed inside. There are three M1910/30 Maxim heavy machine guns, and there is also a 45mm anti-tank gun hidden in it. It is not known yet. No matter where the location is, if we capture the watchtower, we can take the real initiative and retreat, defend or attack."

Major Windhorst spoke.

"A platoon can be as strong as half a battalion. Major, you think so highly of me. Even if my entire company is defeated, I may not be able to win this mission."

Edward has many ways to capture such a watchtower.

According to his modern thinking, there are actually many ways to capture these combat-ready buildings.

To put it bluntly, sometimes an important position is lost so unexpectedly.

There are many ways to get closer, it just depends on how to proceed.

For Edward, what he needs is to obtain more capital.

it is good!
You want me to take it, but I have to give you some benefits before I can take it.

After Edward's words fell, it was immediately clear to veterans like Major Windhorst.

"If you have any conditions, just put them forward, and the whole group will cooperate with you. It is definitely impossible to defeat the three companies, otherwise the rest of the group will not be happy if there are difficult tasks in the future."

Major Windhorst opened his mouth and looked at Edward.

"20 Panzerfaust rocket launchers, three anti-tank rifles, 100 rounds of armor-piercing bullets, and [-] additional troops."

Edward made his request. For such a simple request, Major Windhorst agreed directly without asking the colonel.

"Give me four days, I will definitely capture the watchtower," Edward continued.

"I'll give you seven days. As long as you win it within seven days, you will be a lieutenant!"

Colonel Jonas took over the conversation and said.

Just kidding, being able to capture an important stronghold and watchtower in seven days is a great achievement for the 985th Regiment.

The battle here is getting more and more difficult now, and you have to pay a high price if you want to advance ten meters.

If you have to kill everyone on a floor, everyone who enters and exits does not necessarily belong to your own territory.

After arranging the tasks for each company, everyone started taking action.

The reason why Edward needs three anti-tank rifles is because he wants to use these anti-tank rifles.

The PZB39 anti-tank rifle can penetrate 300mm steel plates at a distance of 25 meters.

He returned to his company with weapons and troops, and then began to advance according to the arrangement.

A watchtower that stood amid the flames of war was still there, with many bullet holes appearing on its sides.

It's just that it hasn't been taken down, it's still holding on.

"Advance 200 meters, suppress fire, and use anti-tank rifles to find the position and snipe the watchtower."

Edward stood in a ruins 300 meters away and carefully picked up the telescope and looked at the opening ahead.

"Yes!"

After the order was given, the soldiers began to take action.

After 10 minutes, both sides started fighting with each other.

The hidden anti-tank snipers all took action.

He originally had two anti-tank rifles on hand, but now he has five anti-tank rifles.

As the anti-tank rifles continued to fire, the bullets headed towards the shooting holes in the watchtower.

boom! boom! boom!
The dull sound of anti-tank sniper rifles mingled with it.

Pfft!

An anti-tank tungsten core bullet flew directly into it and instantly penetrated the gun shield.

The bullet fragments directly sprayed into the machine gunner's body and seriously injured him.

The continuous shooting directly caused a lot of damage to the defense on the watchtower.

Ten minutes later, the Soviet army replaced seven machine gunners, and two of the M10/1910 Maxim heavy machine guns were destroyed.

It only takes one bullet to hit the barrel of the heavy machine gun to basically destroy a Maxim heavy machine gun.

And this tungsten core bullet is very powerful and can cause great damage to heavy machine guns.

It is estimated that the stationed Soviet troops were killed, but they did not expect that the shooting hole was continuously sniped by so many anti-tank rifles.

The helpless defenders could only ask for help from their superiors immediately. They originally thought that they would be impregnable with three heavy machine guns.

Who would have thought that there was such a saucy operation? This was something the Soviet Army did not expect.

"Immediately send Lieutenant Valentine's commando team to support the defense of the watchtower. If we lose this place, it will be really dangerous, so we must hold this place."

The Soviet colonel who received the news in the underground bunker said with an ugly face and immediately issued the order.

As the order was issued, it was quickly passed to Lieutenant Valentine's hands.

Lieutenant Valentine led more than 30 commando soldiers to the outside of the watchtower.

After taking down two M1910/30 Maxim heavy machine guns, Edward waved his hand directly to attack.

Four MG34/42 general-purpose machine guns suppressed the opponent with direct fire and could not shoot well.
