Chapter 1343 Steel Storm 1
Chapter 1343 Iron Storm 1
When the boundless skyfire fell from the sky, the Bavarian Army of 5 divisions also began a centripetal assault on the Brest area! According to the previously planned plan, when they take Brest and pin the Russian Fifth and Fourth Armies to the battlefield, it will be Mackensen who stabs the Russians in the back. The moment for the fatal blow!
However, what was different from what the Russians expected was that this time the Bavarian Legion's attack was not as violent and rapid as they imagined! The troops of 5 divisions selected 5 breakthrough areas. With the support of assault artillery, the storm infantry took the lead, and engineers and follow-up troops followed. A crushing battle began with the rumbling sound of artillery. !
For this battle, the artillery of the Bavarian Army provided fire suppression for the troops for 5 hours! Thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers were spitting deadly flames at distant targets all the time. The 75MM and 88MM anti-aircraft guns were responsible for clearing the bunkers on the front line. Mortars and mortars shattered hundreds of kilometers of barbed wire and roadblocks. The 210MM heavy howitzer was pushed to the front line and aimed at the bunkers made of concrete more than one meter thick. The 150MM cannon and 170MM cannon are aimed at the roads connecting the Russian defense lines. They will use tons of ammunition to isolate the breakthrough areas one by one! The larger-caliber artillery is aimed at more distant places, and they will be responsible for attacking the remaining Russian strongholds and fortress groups!
"Tank attack!" With the roar of the engine, Vespa assault guns and Beetle self-propelled artillery rushed out of the hiding place, and the roar of the 75MM rapid-fire gun and the 107MM cannon resounded throughout the battlefield! The Wasp tank rushed to the front line like a giant bear covered with heavy armor. The 75MM rapid-fire cannon shattered the machine gun nests and mortar firing positions. Under the cover of the artillery, the machine gun team of the Storm Commandos quickly They occupied the firing position and then successfully set up the machine guns. Every minute, tens of thousands of bullets shuttled over the battlefield, suppressing the Russian soldiers in the trenches.
After the Bavarian Army took control of the situation with powerful firepower, engineers carrying demolition tools blasted a path through the minefields and barbed wire fences. Then, the storm elites carrying submachine guns and flamethrowers followed like assassins, filling the sky with Against the backdrop of gunfire and gunpowder smoke, they stepped onto the stage that belonged to them!
Sharp and continuous screams sounded inside the trenches. The MP series submachine guns, which were feared by the Allied Powers and were called bullet sprayers, were definitely the most terrifying close combat weapons of this era after being equipped with 50 rounds of ammunition. In the hands of veterans of the war, these automatic weapons can always point at the target as quickly as possible and then insert a hail of bullets into the target's body!
Stormtroopers as a team advanced alternately under cover in the rugged trenches. The front row personnel watched a certain opening in the drum with their peripheral vision. When the spring in the drum appeared at the opening. They will quickly evacuate backwards, and then their colleagues in the back row will quickly fill in. The front row exit personnel will immediately open the latches and quickly take out a new drum drum from the ammunition bags on both sides of the body and install it. In the alternating battle between the two groups,
Rows of Russian soldiers were killed in the trenches, red blood flowed in the muddy trenches, and corpses lay scattered between the trenches.
"Prepare flamethrowers!" When faced with some hidden bunkers and artillery cannot take care of both, soldiers carrying flamethrowers and explosive packs become the best way to solve the problem. Under the influence of smoke grenades and machine gun fire, Under cover, the flamethrower brought the flamethrower closer to the target less than 20 meters away, and then gently pulled the trigger. Driven by the compressed air, a large amount of mixed fuel was sprayed from the long muzzle along the tube. At the same time, the gun was automatically ignited at the muzzle. Fire dragons crisscrossed the ground and rushed towards the machine gun bunker that was still spitting out bullets in the distance!
boom! Following the violent explosion, a section of the ground was lifted open by a powerful impact. Apparently, the flame jet just detonated the ammunition, and the Russian troops inside were completely blown into the sky. And as the attack path opened, groups of soldiers quickly passed through the burning bunkers and advanced in depth!
However, as the saying goes, the Russians have been beaten countless times, and their tactics are constantly improving. Unlike the Western Front, which lacks depth and needs to use every inch of land every dollar, for the Russians, the Eastern Front The least valuable thing is depth! Second is the lives of soldiers, and the most precious thing is their cannons!
When the Stormtroopers reached a depth of 3 kilometers, they encountered the Russians' first main line of defense! As well as those strong enough bunkers and the artillery in the bunkers that were originally designed to deal with the Wasp assault gun.
The 3-inch rapid-fire guns used by the army, the 11-pound guns of the navy, and even the 120MM guns and 130MM naval guns were arranged here, blocking the way to the wider, flatter and deeper fortress! The front of these fortresses generally has 1.2 to 1.5 meters of reinforced concrete, and the top also has a 0.6 to 0.8 meter thick concrete roof, and there is about 2 meters of rammed earth on top! These support points are like huge behemoths lying on the offensive path. Use machine guns and artillery all over your body to block the path of the German attack!
"Fortunately, we were well prepared." Colonel Reinhardt rode his half-track vehicle to the front line. He carefully observed the Russian defense line. He had to say that it was very well built. In order to prevent bombing, their exposed area was not large. It could almost be described as a point. The horizontal part of the bunker had very solid defense. The thick rammed earth and concrete are enough to make any direct-fire artillery under 210mm helpless. The thickness of the front parapet is also strong enough, taking full account of the penetration level of the 88MM anti-aircraft guns and 75MM rapid-fire guns used by the Germans...
The Wasp assault gun in place conducted a probing attack. Under the cover of smoke bombs, four Wasps approached less than 800 meters from a gun nest. After correcting it with the heading machine gun, the thick and long barrel fired a series of shells. Orange fire burst out on the thick parapet of the bunker, and then the smoke dissipated, leaving only one A shallow pit. Before the heavy 4.7-inch gun inside turned around, the four Wasps retreated back into the smoke screen.
"It seems that the things we prepared can be put to use. To be honest, I never thought that these big guys could be used for this." Colonel Reinhard put down the telescope in his hand. "Push up our Beetles and Swords of Destruction!"
