Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 55 Battle of Kursk, defensive battle of the second infantry company ([-])

After one of the T34-76 tanks was destroyed, all the tanks began to look for the location of the anti-tank gun position.

"Damn! Where's the Kraut's anti-tank gun?"

The tank gun began to rotate and the driver was looking for a position.

However, after the two shots were fired, there was no other action, which surprised the Soviet tanks.

Which song did this German guy sing?

"Order the soldiers to be ready and ready to fight at any time"

Captain Scott Leonard of the second company signaled his men to get ready for battle.

In addition, the anti-tank guns of the anti-tank company had stopped moving, and he was also curious about what was going on.

The anti-tank artillery position also has a communication trench.

Order soldiers shuttled through the trenches, bringing the latest orders.

The three of them focused fire on one of the T34-76 tanks.

Once marked, prepare to shoot.

With a flag wave, the three anti-tank gun positions immediately understood.

The three anti-tank guns were loaded with shells immediately. If three shells could destroy a T34-76 tank, it would obviously be a profit.

After loading, the flag was waved again, and three 75mm shells were fired in a salvo.

boom!
In an instant, a T34-76 tank was destroyed, and the entire tank was directly blown up.

Because three 75mm armor-piercing shells directly hit it, and its ammunition box was exploded, the entire tank directly blew away the turret.

This round of shelling directly repelled the Soviet army. They only temporarily retreated and did not say they would not attack.

White smoke grenades were fired from the mortars at the rear, and the tanks covering the front began to retreat.

boom!
A huge gunshot rang out, sounding like a cannon.

Second Lieutenant Ina, who was hiding in the grass, broke the track of one of the T34-76 tanks with one shot.

This time he was not carrying a G43 semi-automatic rifle, but a 14mm anti-material sniper rifle Thor.

This was improved by the Nilong Base Scientific Research Department on the Mauser anti-material sniper rifle.

This can be regarded as leaving a tank behind.

After the tracks were interrupted, the Soviet crew had no choice but to abandon the tank.

Once the smoke disappears here, it will be destroyed.

So they all ran away honestly.

After the Soviet army chose to retreat, it took about seven or eight minutes for the smoke to dissipate and three T8-34 tanks parked on the spot.

One of the tanks was burning.

The hatch of one of the tanks was opened, and a body was lying on it. It was probably alive and trying to climb out.

Naihe was too seriously injured and eventually died on the edge of the hatch.

The retreating Soviet army used two su76 self-propelled artillery to fire continuously at the second company position.

High-explosive bombs continued to explode one after another.

The soldiers hiding in the cat's ear hole more than two meters deep did not care at all about the explosion of the 76mm high-explosive bomb.

The six 6mm infantry guns deployed by the artillery company did not fight back, because the shelling of the two 75mm artillery guns did not have much lethality at all.

Even if all 50mm and 80mm mortars are included, their power is limited.

There are observation hands on each side, one on the left and one on the right, observing the movement in front.

During the shelling, the soldiers hid in Maoer Hole, and even if the shells fell into the trenches, there would be no harm.

Mortars can fall vertically, but their armor-breaking capabilities are limited.

The soldiers hiding underground were not afraid of them falling into the trenches.

Unless the 120mm mortar directly hits the exact location of the cat's ear hole.

Its explosive power can really cause a lot of damage.

But this chance is too small, even if a few unlucky people fall for it.

There will be no changes to the entire battlefield.

What's more, to clean up a village, the Soviet army did not use large-caliber artillery.

It is estimated that large-caliber artillery will be called in the next round to cover the bombardment.

An hour later, the Soviet army ended the artillery bombardment and dropped multiple smoke grenades on the Second Infantry Company position.

The white smoke forced the soldiers to put on gas masks.

The battle has reached this point, and I have to wonder if the opponent will use poison gas bombs.

Therefore, gas masks need to be worn.

"fire!"

When the opponent dropped smoke bombs, the Second Infantry Company was not polite.

The bombardment began.

Four 50mm mortars continued to throw shells, and four 4mm infantry guns also started shelling.

The low body is hidden in the hole in a position where it is difficult for the opponent to find it.

Four of the six 75mm infantry guns were used, the remaining two were hidden, and the 80mm mortars were also not used.

About 300 Soviet troops began the attack under the cover of multiple tanks.

If almost everyone is separated by more than five meters, the power of machine guns and artillery will be greatly weakened.

The light machine gunners shuttled among the soldiers looking for good positions to suppress fire.

The DP light machine gun fires continuously, and the 47-round bullet plate has a much greater firepower than ordinary light machine guns.

"Fire!" followed Captain Scott Leonard's order.

Everyone on the position opened fire. Don't underestimate the 800-meter-wide defense line. There was a large number of automatic weapons used by both sides.

On the German side, except for shotguns, which were temporarily unusable, all other weapons were put into battle.

Compared with eight Mauser 98Ks plus one submachine gun and one general-purpose machine gun, the current firepower has been improved a lot.

There are three G43 semi-automatic rifles, three MP40 submachine guns, and one MG42 general-purpose machine gun, which has much greater firepower than a Soviet infantry squad.

A dense barrage of bullets began to spray towards the opponent.

The first to fire was the machine gun, followed by the G43 semi-automatic rifle.

As for the MP40 submachine gun, at least the opponent can't fire until he is 200 meters away.

This time, the Soviet tank stopped 500 meters away and conducted covering fire.

Instead of advancing again, they chose to hide behind and provide fire support.

They would not act rashly until they discovered the location of the opponent's anti-tank guns.

A few tanks died here accidentally.

This was not worthwhile for them, as they clearly saw the direction where the opponent fired the shells.

But no matter how hard I looked for him, I couldn't find him.

As for why it was not discovered, the gun barrel is only 75 millimeters thick and only about 20 centimeters above the ground. How could it be discovered?

This is all the result of collective efforts. Even if you know the location, but you have no reference, where the shell explodes is another matter.

Soviet soldiers came towards the position, and when they entered a position about 200 meters away, they would step on landmines from time to time.

jump!
With a loud noise, a Soviet soldier was blown up directly, and he fell heavily to the grass with blood stains on his body.

But these could not stop the remaining soldiers from continuing to attack.

No one would choose to retreat unless asked to do so by their superiors.

On the position guarded by one person about eight meters long, the squad leader of each team carried ammunition boxes and shuttled across the 80-meter width that his team was responsible for. They began to distribute ammunition ten minutes after the battle started.

A box contains submachine gun bullets, rifle bullets, and machine gun bullets.

There are fifty rounds in a box of submachine gun bullets. It is a low square packaging box with ten rounds neatly arranged in five rows.

Rifle bullets are packed in staggered packages of 25 rounds.

Bullets wrapped in oil paper.

A soldier was firing continuously outside. When the squad leader passed by, he put down four boxes of rifle bullets, which was a hundred rounds.

There are two empty magazines beside it. These magazines are all extended versions of the magazines.

There are 15 bullets in a magazine, and the weight of four bullets has little effect.

The height of the four bullets pressed in at the same time has no effect, so the original 10 bullets become 15 bullets.

boom!boom!boom!
After firing multiple bullets in succession, the soldier squatted down and opened the bullet package, then picked up the empty magazine and quickly loaded the bullets.

Three empty magazines were directly filled with 45 rounds of ammunition.

The bullet casings falling on the ground showed that he had fired a lot of bullets.

The three grenades hanging from his waist were intact because the Soviet troops had not yet approached.

There was a barbed wire fence placed 100 meters away, and the Soviet army had to pass through the barbed wire if they wanted to come over.

The tank's shells were constantly destroying the barbed wire fence, leaving many loopholes in the originally dense barbed wire fence.

Captain Scott Leonard climbed onto the church to observe the situation outside the village.

Generally speaking, the German army still had the advantage.

This time the German army's tactics were to attack steadily and steadily.

Tanks 500 meters away will not be attacked, and the tank's damage to the ground is also limited.

All positions are arranged horizontally.

It is actually very difficult to accurately hit the edge of the trench.

The shot may have been shot too high, or it may have been shot too low.

So it's actually not easy for the opponent's trenches.

Thanks to the newly dug trenches there were no protruding mounds of earth at all.

It is difficult to hit the edge of the trench without a reference point on a flat ground.

At least the Soviet fire control system did not have such good aiming and stable trajectory.

However, the barbed wire fence was destroyed a lot.

As the Soviet troops approached, the firepower gradually became more intensive.

The machine gun began to hang a double ammunition chain, and the firepower directly increased.

As the Soviet troops approached, the soldiers picked up grenades and started throwing them.

Mortars took turns taking care of the focus, and infantry artillery also joined them.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
The mortar bombardment did not stop, firing more than a dozen shells at once.

When the shells ran out, an ammunition handler ran over carrying a box of shells and two boxes.

After the box was opened, the mortar crew continued to fire towards the forward position.

After firing more than a dozen shells in succession, the Soviet army was pushed back, leaving seventy or eighty corpses and dozens of wounded in front of the position.

Of course, there were snipers hidden among them, but the German position was 2 meters deep, so it was basically impossible to hit anyone without a fight.

Moreover, Second Lieutenant Ina of the Special Forces was watching somewhere with an anti-material sniper rifle. With this shot, the 14mm can tear the whole person into pieces.
