Steel Soviet Union

To deal with this group of Germans armed with assault rifles similar to our own, the experienced platoon leader had many tricks up his sleeve.

Although the accompanying infantry battalion brought by Kulbalov is only the lowest combat effectiveness battalion in the Varosha Infantry Regiment. But this does not mean that this battalion cannot fight and its combat effectiveness is too weak. It is simply that the monsters in the other two infantry battalions and the combat engineer battalion are too strong. They can tear apart German sticks even if they throw away their guns.

Therefore, when facing the group of infantrymen of the National Defense Forces who were not too elite, the combat advantage still lies with the Red Army soldiers.

Boom boom boom boom——

A series of grenade explosions stirred up large pieces of dust and dust into the air. The huge impact and concussion could be clearly felt by the Red Army soldiers who were some distance away, even if they were protected against the trench wall.

The grenade is not thrown directly after pulling out the ring, but is held in the palm of the hand and thrown after a slight delay. The core point of the tactic is to achieve the effect of dense air explosions in a row.

The string of air-burst lemon grenades thrown at the German army was indeed stunned and unprepared. The Russian grenades flying in the sky with parabolic trajectories gave people almost no time to react. The German soldiers were shocked when they saw the grenades thrown towards them. Before the infantrymen could lie down, a series of grenades exploded in the air, scattering hot metal fragments in all directions.

These grenade fragments, shot from high to low and densely shot from mid-air, are far more lethal than the grenade fragments that explode on the ground.

If you look diagonally downward from the perspective of a grenade in mid-air, you will find that those German soldiers who had no time to lie down had almost all of them exposed important and fragile human body parts such as their heads, front faces, necks, and upper chests. Within the killing range, there is no cover.

It is natural to imagine what the consequences will be after a series of loud explosions at a distance of less than ten meters.

"Come on, rush, rush! Hurry!"

Once the grenade exploded, there was no hesitation or waiting. The squad leader who was further ahead than the platoon leader took the lead in picking up the AK with a bayonet, and led the squad soldiers around him to get out of the trench bunker and rush forward. go.

The smoke and dust stirred up by a series of violent air explosions has not yet settled, slightly blocking the field of vision, but the German blockade firepower that had just filled the entire trench has disappeared.

A few swaying figures could be vaguely seen behind the dust, either struggling to stand up or already picking up weapons that had fallen to the ground. The squad leader who was at the front didn't say anything, and without even aiming, he pulled the trigger on the spot with a waist-firing attitude.

Dong dong dong dong——

After a roar of 62mm medium-power rifle bullets, there was no living person still standing within the field of vision. Only De, whose brains had burst, or whose upper body had been beaten into a sieve, lay scattered on the ground. Stick body.

"Keep moving forward! Follow us to the next trench, move fast!"

Scenes like this have long been commonplace, and there is no need to brag about and linger over as many German soldiers as they have killed.

As the soldiers strode quickly one after another, lowering their posture and running quickly past them, and continued to move forward, the squad leader who squatted down to change the magazine of the rifle in his hand also happened to see the mysterious new weapon that fell next to the dead body of the German gun. gun.

Time is very tight on the battlefield, and every second is precious and cannot be wasted.

Especially the grassroots commanders and fighters who need to lead the team cannot waste their time in useless places.

"It's better to look back. We don't have the time now."

Pulling out a fully loaded spare magazine from the chest strap of his upper body, inserting it and pulling the load, the squad leader suppressed his curiosity and rejoined the battle and ran forward. The German rifle that he had just targeted was lying next to the body of its owner, soaked in the still warm blood.

Although during the first battle, they suffered certain casualties because they did not know that the enemy also had similar new guns.

But when more and more Red Army soldiers poured into the position through the torn hole, they switched back to the passive state of their first encounter with the enemy's new light weapons.

The Germans still had to take the beatings they deserved. The battle between the infantry did not have any essential changes due to the investment of new German rifles.

Your German firepower has been upgraded and become much stronger?

Sorry, our Red Army infantry has more firepower!

This group of relatively capable Wehrmacht infantrymen on the position had only been equipped with less than half of the new rifles. Most of the German soldiers still had the old Mauser P38 in their hands. But the opponent it faces is a super-powerful infantry armed with Bobosha, AK44, and SVT-40. The lowest grades are semi-automatic rifles that can fire continuously.

In terms of firepower intensity, as usual, the German army was still no match for Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, whether it was a duel between infantry or tanks.

In terms of combat quality and the proportion of veterans, this group can only be said to be barely acceptable and better than other infantry of the current Wehrmacht. At most, it can only be regarded as the level of the German conventional infantry divisions in 1941 or 1942.

For the current German army, it is good to have such a situation.

But the tragedy is that the opponent they faced was a hell-level difficulty. They were the "Stalin Guards" led by Malashenko, nicknamed "Iron Butcher". Being pinned to the ground and beaten violently was reasonable and not too surprising. .

The German troops relying on the rear half of the position were still resisting desperately. The cross machine gun fire points arranged in several echelons were too tightly blocked. It was obvious that the German shooters operating the machine guns must be experienced. Five to ten rounds were counted as accurate short bursts. It was a joy to play, although it was intermittent but the rhythm of the machine gun was very good.

Braving this tight blockade of machine gun fire was not an option, and the fierce and fierce offensive was temporarily blocked.

But the good times for the remaining German troops did not last long, because soon several smoking grenades flew into their faces.

The German machine gunners who relied on the reinforced low wall on the edge of the village as a machine gun bunker were not afraid of ordinary grenade explosions. But the problem is that this thing is not the type of explosion. Instead, it is spinning on the ground and spraying white smoke that is not rich but is conspicuous.

"What? The Russians released poison gas???"

The gas mask box hanging on the buttocks can be removed at any time, but this group of German machine gunners and all the surrounding German infantry who rely on the village edge to defend will obviously never have this opportunity again.

Boom boom boom——

What shattered the earthen wall and sent all the German soldiers into the sky, including their guns and men, was a burst of 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenades that hit their faces instantly and made no sense at all.

The tank troops that had eliminated all the German tanks finally had their hands free, and the black main gun bores were filled with high-explosive grenades that were ready to go. Kurbalov, who was overwhelmed and furious by this bad battle that involved too many unexpected factors, was holding a radio transmitter in his hand and barking orders to the crews under his command.

"Blast me! Concentrate your firepower into the smoke! There is the last bunker of the Germans inside. Blast all these fascist pigs into the sky!"
