Shortly after the 182nd Division was re-equipped, Sokov inspected the unit and saw with his own eyes that when the soldiers were shooting, they chose to fire in bursts, and the 30-round magazine was used up in a few seconds.
.According to the basic amount of ammunition carried by an individual soldier out of four magazines, it is really not enough.
Considering that many soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time, they might keep pulling the trigger because of nervousness, and they would quickly run out of bullets. Therefore, he specifically told Khokhlov: "Comrade Colonel, let the soldiers use it during the battle."
, try not to shoot continuously, but use burst shooting. Because the accuracy of burst shooting is poor, it is far less effective than burst shooting by multiple people."
Khokhlov understood what Sokov meant, nodded quickly and said: "Understood, Comrade Commander, I will let the soldiers use burst firing in battle to save ammunition."
"Comrade Colonel," Runev interjected and asked, "are you confident in defeating the enemy?"
Hearing Lunev's question, Khokhlov grinned. He knew very well what it meant for an entire division to be equipped with such assault rifles. With such powerful firepower, no matter what kind of enemy it faced,
, Khokhlov felt it was nothing to say. He said to Lunev firmly: "Comrade Military Commissar, the combat effectiveness of troops equipped with assault rifles, even if they are a company, will not be weaker than that of a regiment of other troops.
"
"Comrade Colonel, you are very confident." Lunev said with a smile: "I hope that when the battle begins, your performance will not disappoint the commander and me."
At the same time, Captain Zu Mingte, who was staying in his observation post, saw through his telescope that two German tanks and five armored vehicles were gradually approaching his defense area through the emergency road. He quickly called the first company commander, Captain Zheliya.
He went to the phone and asked worriedly: "Comrade Captain, the enemy's tanks have approached your defense area. Are you ready for battle?"
"Report to Comrade Battalion Commander!" Zheliya replied quickly: "I have deployed the two anti-tank teams in the company on the roadside. I can only kill them as soon as the enemy tanks approach."
"Comrade Captain," when Zheliya heard that the anti-tank team was deployed on the roadside, Zuminte quickly reminded him: "The anti-tank team is the most important combat unit. You must ensure their safety."
"Don't worry, comrade battalion commander." Zheliya replied with a smile: "I have also deployed two infantry squads on the roadside, which can completely ensure their safety."
The German squad unknowingly entered the Soviet ambush circle. The tank at the front was less than fifty meters away from the anti-tank team hidden on the roadside. A soldier carrying a rocket launcher suddenly leaned out,
He adopted a semi-crouching position, aimed at the first tank and opened fire.
The rocket accurately hit the leading tank. Zu Mingt in the observation post first saw a plume of thick smoke coming out of the observation hole, then the car body shook violently, and then stopped. But what followed was
The tank behind did not notice anything strange and continued to drive forward.
Then, another anti-tank man emerged from his hiding place carrying a rocket launcher, aiming at the second tank and firing. The slow-moving German tank was as conspicuous as a target on the shooting range more than fifty meters away, so that the rocket
It can easily hit the target. After a loud "boom", a stream of flames spurts out from the open hatch like a volcanic eruption, rising to a height of twenty or thirty meters. After maintaining for a few seconds, the flames shrink.
He returned to the turret, but soon streams of flames came out from the observation holes, ejection ports, etc., engulfing the entire tank.
When the first tank was destroyed, the German officers and soldiers on the armored personnel carrier behind did not notice it at all, but the second tank exploded and caught fire. It would be outrageous if they could not see it. Under the loud shouts of the officers, the German soldiers
Soldiers jumped off the armored vehicles one after another to seize advantageous terrain.
In the trenches on the hillside, Zheliya saw most of the German soldiers jumping off the armored vehicles, and he shouted loudly: "Shoot!" After shouting, he took the lead and shot at the German soldiers on the road down the hillside.
For a moment, the silence on the battlefield was broken. The commanders and fighters in the trenches and on the roadside simultaneously opened fire on the soldiers surrounding the armored vehicles. The intensive firepower immediately knocked down the enemies exposed within the range.
These German troops were able to break through the defense line of the Voronezh Front, and their strength should not be underestimated. When they heard gunshots nearby, they did not pay attention, thinking that with their own strength, they could turn defeat into victory. But they saw their companions falling in pieces
At that moment, the remaining soldiers immediately wanted to run away. The firepower of these Russians was so fierce that the sound of gunshots sounded like thousands of guns firing at the same time. With just a small number of people, it was hard to beat them.
The soldiers huddled on the right side of the armored vehicle, clutching the weapons in their hands tightly, holding on to the last trace of luck in their hearts, preparing to wait for the Soviet army to start charging before launching a counterattack. As long as the Soviet army's attack was defeated, they would be able to escape.
Possibility of day of birth.
But what happened next surprised them. The Soviet troops who started to charge were not crowded together and rushing forward in a chaotic manner as they imagined. Instead, they were divided into three groups as a group, taking turns to cover and rush forward.
. Several German soldiers just poked their heads out from behind the armored vehicle. Before they could shoot, they were knocked down by oncoming bullets.
Of course, the German soldiers hiding behind the armored vehicles were not safe. Soviet commanders dropped bombs through the armored vehicles. The falling grenades exploded around them, and the flying shrapnel killed many soldiers.
The entire battle lasted less than five minutes, but for the surviving German soldiers, it felt like a world away. Seeing the rushing Soviet commanders pointing their guns at them, they had no courage to continue fighting, and they quickly raised their hands.
surrender.
Seeing that the enemies who had entered his defense area had been completely wiped out, Zuming quickly called and told Lieutenant Colonel Goryachkin the good news. Although Golyachkin had already been in his command post, looking through the telescope
After reviewing the entire battle, when he heard Zu Mingte's report, he still said approvingly: "Comrade Captain, you did a good job. You immediately sent people to send the prisoners to the regiment headquarters. I think the commander and division commander must be sure
Eager to obtain some useful information from the mouths of these prisoners."
After ending the call with Zuminte, Lieutenant Colonel Goryachkin answered the division headquarters phone call and reported to the division chief of staff who answered the phone: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the Zuminte battalion of our regiment passed by.
After a fierce battle, we have eliminated the enemies that entered our regiment's defense area and captured several prisoners."
"What, the battle is over so quickly?" The 546th Regiment solved the battle so neatly that the division chief of staff was particularly surprised: "Where are the prisoners?"
"On the way to the regiment command post." Goryachkin knew what the division chief of staff wanted to say, so he said first: "When the prisoners arrive, I will personally take them to the division headquarters."
