Chapter 1,352 Night Battle 2
Chapter 1352 Night Battle 2
When the Russians rushed forward shouting "Ula!", the entire battlefield seemed to have reached a zero point, and blazing flames suddenly poured out from the German defense line! The firepower density increased several levels in an instant! At this time, the Russians could already see the expressions of the enemy on the opposite side, and could already imagine killing the opponent with the bayonet in their hands. The firepower like a volcanic eruption directly ended the Russians' dream!
The Germans were well prepared to defend against the Russian night raids. For example, the number of submachine gunners in the infantry reached 60%! Another example is that everyone prepares at least 10 rounds of defensive grenades! The semi-automatic rifle firepower the Russians encountered before was nothing more than drizzle!
When entering the last few dozen meters, the Russians really felt what the steel storm was! Hundreds of submachine guns were concentrated in a small area, and the constantly beating fire snakes almost formed an airtight fire storm. The screams of bullets overwhelmed all sounds on the battlefield, and even some people's ears temporarily lost their function due to the excessive noise.
The brass cartridge case was thrown out from the ejection port like running water. Soon it was scattered all over the ground. The soldiers who were shooting grabbed the handle tightly and pressed down the beating muzzle. The muzzle swept out a fan shape in front. Some Russian soldiers were even directly shot because they were hit by too many bullets. Beaten to pieces. There were also some people who were beaten into bloody gourds as soon as they met, and their bodies were shaking horribly under the continuous impact. It was like a broken water bag, spraying blood all around.
When he originally used semi-automatic rifles and rifles, he threw away the rifle in his hand, picked up a group of hand grenades that had been trapped next to him, decisively opened the fuse, rounded his arms and used them as explosives. The cluster grenade in the bag was thrown out!
boom! A series of violent explosions were even comparable to mortar shells! And some soldiers threw 60MM mortar shells! They picked up a cannonball, banged it hard on the iron steel plate and threw it out. In what could be called a close-quarters hand-to-hand battle, the God of War finally handed the crown to the Germans, who had an absolute firepower advantage.
The attacking troops were shattered to pieces by fierce firepower in a very short period of time, while the support firepower and machine gun firepower from the rear fired long-distance indirect fire, directly suppressing the Russian army's subsequent offensive power. The whole process was like a thunderstorm, with lightning and thunder when it broke out, but the duration was extremely short. Relying on the huge firepower advantage and good coordination and tactics, the German army easily disintegrated the offensive on the opposite side.
The sound of guns and artillery fired like a storm all night long. The Russians attacked with all their strength, and they tirelessly attacked the German positions. But all of them had little effect. Even if a temporary breakthrough could be achieved in a certain direction, they would be killed in the trenches by the swarming German troops after entering the depth. While the Russians began to shrink their troops as if they were clenching their fists, the Bavarian Army was also quite concentrated! However, what the Russians did not expect was that when they launched a sneak attack on the German troops, the German troops also conducted a night attack!
On the right flank of the German troops,
Several regiments of the Bavarian Army launched a massive night attack supported by concentrated heavy artillery. The flares rising like raindrops instantly turned the entire attack surface into daylight! With the support of assault guns and engineers, the attacking troops easily dealt with the minefields and barbed wire fences that the Russians had hastily laid out. And it flattened the opponent's bunker, and the tanks' tracks also crushed the Russian soldiers blocking the road into a ball of rotten flesh. Piles of soldiers wearing black camouflage uniforms passed quickly through the trenches. The roar of submachine guns was endless.
"700 meters ahead. There is a reinforced bunker, we can't take it out!" Through the night battle call, the commando soldiers contacted the support units behind them. 10 minutes later, with a slight vibration on the ground, a short guy appeared on the ground. In the blurry vision of the Germans, in the flash of artillery fire, people could clearly see the huge short-barreled artillery in the front fighting room! The enemy also discovered it, and a torrent of flames formed by intensive fire rushed up, sending sparks flying from the armor plate on the front.
boom! A dazzling fireball erupted from the muzzle, and the 45KG reinforced concrete armor-piercing projectile roared out and flew towards the target 800 meters away. The Germans in the distance could only see that the bunker that had blocked them for half an hour seemed to jump suddenly, and then a huge smoke column smashed the roof of the entire bunker into pieces! After clearing the nails on the front, a squad was left to continue cleaning up the remaining enemies. Surrounded by these steel behemoths, the German infantry continued to advance in depth!
Different from the Russian strategy of sneak attacks and grabbing a handful and leaving, the German night attack was to expand the attack front and obtain a better forward position for the next day's attack. On the first day of the battle, the Germans found that their attack front was still too narrow. For the Germans with sufficient firepower, it would be a better choice to expand the front and dilute the defender's manpower and weapons. As the second echelon gradually Entering the battlefield, the Germans believed they needed to use their precious night time to open another front on the right wing!
The entire breakthrough process can be understood as the historical World War I Stormtrooper tactics plus the support of self-propelled artillery. It can’t be said to be very high-end, but it is indeed useful. You must know that on the Western Front in history, facing the British and French forces with better equipment and better training, the German army could successfully tear apart the surface defense line and develop in depth. So in the current East Line, use a sudden short attack to directly open and create a protruding part, then there will be no problem at all!
It is not that the Russians did not prevent the counterattack, but in a hasty situation, the Russian troops who came up with support from all over the place had no coordination at all. In the staggered trenches, on the positions that were bombed like the surface of the moon, and in the remaining buildings In the ruined villages and towns, the two sides launched a fierce battle.
From a macro perspective, the long-term blockade bombardment carried out by the German heavy artillery troops on transportation hubs, roads and bridges successfully hindered the support of the Russian army. The enemy forces in the breakthrough area were isolated and then fell into the siege of superior opponents. .
"We can hardly stay together. When we gather together, set up machine guns, and prepare to block the opponent's attack route, a heavy artillery shell will come from nowhere and wipe us out together with the temporarily found hiding spot! We They are all using paratroopers to deal with more elite and concentrated opponents. They shuttle through the dark night, devouring thousands of lives with the mechanical help of demon-like beasts. Looking at the cannonballs falling like meteors in the distance, We knew that reinforcements would not come," a captured Russian officer said during interrogation.
