Chapter four hundred and ninety fifth opponent
The soldiers ate and drank and fell asleep in the "bed" beside the stove... The so-called "bed" was the coats taken from the Soviets, most of which were peeled off from the Soviets who were beaten to death. Many of them were made of animal real fur, so the warmth performance was much better than that of the Germans.
Unfortunately, these coats cannot be worn on them, because they are easily killed by their own people, so they are placed in the cellar as bedding.
At this time, a burst of bombing suddenly came from outside.
Originally, Qin Chuan didn't want to pay attention to it, thinking that this was just a routine bombing by the Soviet army, and Holm's German soldiers had long been used to it.
After a while, Qin Chuan felt that the bombing was a bit unusual... The bombing lasted for a long time and was concentrated in the Luowadi River defense line.
Qin Chuan immediately jumped out of the "bed". The soldiers realized this almost at the same time, jumped up one by one and prepared nervously.
"It's finally going to attack!" Kuhn said.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied while stuffing two grenades into his belt: "I think they admit that their 'blockdown' has failed!"
"Hmm!" Kuhn nodded in agreement.
"So!" Qin Chuan continued: "I seem to have made a mistake!"
"Wrong?" Werner looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.
"We should pretend that their 'blockdown' is effective!" Qin Chuan replied: "Then they will continue to wait until we collapse, but now..."
Kuhn couldn't help laughing: "You're too demanding of yourself, Captain!"
"It's good they'll come up early!" Werner patted the Poposa submachine gun in his hand: "I've always wondered what they could do to break through the Rovati River defense line!"
"There is no line of defense that cannot be broken through, Werner!" the baker replied.
As it turned out, what the baker was right. When the guns stopped and the soldiers entered the position along the traffic trench that had been hit by the shells, they saw several engineering vehicles driving out from the Soviet army...
These engineering vehicles are clear at a glance. Seven of them are armored bulldozers. They are obviously used to shovel snow. They only need to shovel the snow under the defense line of the Lovati River, and then use the snow to pile up a height difference of more than five meters into a slope. If this slope is sprinkled with a layer of soil or a fur on the surface, the soldiers can walk directly on it.
There are also eight bridge-mounted vehicles, with the tank chassis below, and steel is used to support a slope of more than two meters wide... It is obvious that as long as this slope is opened below the defense line, it can directly provide soldiers or tanks with a passage across the defense line of the Lovati River.
"Wow!" said Werner: "They did find a way!"
Before he finished speaking, the Soviet army rushed up with a loud roar, and there were carriages with them... At first, Qin Chuan didn't understand what these carriages were used for, until they turned the carriages, and a Markbi machine gun appeared in front of the German army on the sled behind them. Then, a rain of bullets poured towards the German positions.
This move is indeed good. The Markbi machine gun and the suppression of the mortar made the Germans on the defense line unable to raise their heads, and the Soviet army could charge and build bridges on the defense line... It is conceivable that as time goes by, more and more inclined surfaces will be built on the Lovati River, and then the Soviet tanks and soldiers continued to charge from any point to the Lovati River defense line.
"Fire!" Gerhard ordered loudly.
The German defensive battle started at that moment, and the bullets flew towards the Soviet army down with a "swooshing" sound, knocking the Soviet army that rushed towards the Lovati River to the ground.
But the Soviet army ignored this sacrifice and rushed up along the two bridges and a relatively gentle line of defense in the middle.
The Soviet army's goal was clear... to use human lives to cover the engineering troops to set up inclines on the Lovati River defense line. As long as there are enough inclines, the greater the impact they will have on the German defense line.
A bridge carriage boarded the east bank of the Lovati River, and the height was obviously calculated, with the height of the bridge deck exceeding about half a meter on the east bank.
This height is just right, because if it exceeds too much, it will be difficult for people and tanks to come down from the bridge deck.
If it happens to be flush with the east coast, then the German machine guns can easily block the entire bridge deck.
But now, most of the machine gunner's bullets are blocked by a single flight beyond the bridge deck, and the same is true for the shooting range of the rocket launcher.
This surprised Qin Chuan, because most of the Soviets were rough-minded. They would rush forward without any brains and could use rough parts to combine a nearly perfect tank, but they never paid attention to fine-cut issues, just like most of their tanks did not have communication equipment installed.
But now, the Soviet commander in front of him obviously considered these things.
What Qin Chuan didn't know was that Matvich even conducted two exercises for this attack... He led his troops to build a defense line similar to the Lovati River on a high ground thirteen kilometers away from Holm, and then let the troops conduct offensive and defensive drills there, so he gained some experience.
"We don't have many opportunities!" Mattevich said to Peter Nolev while holding up his telescope.
"I don't understand, Comrade Political Commissar!" Peter Nolev replied: "We have absolute advantages!"
"Maybe!" Mattevich replied: "But you have not studied their battle example!"
"You mean..."
"I transferred the battle process of the First Infantry Regiment of the German Republic from the British, Comrade Peter Nolev!" Mattevich raised his head towards the battlefield where gunpowder was smoking: "They used the 'tunnel tactic' to fight the British and Americans who had absolute advantage several times with inferior forces with inferior forces!"
Peter Nolev laughed: "That's because the British and Americans are timid!"
"Maybe it!" Mattevich replied: "But maybe it's because we have an unusual opponent!"
After pausing, Mattevich said to himself: "I have a premonition that if we can't beat Holm down within a few days, they will likely find a way to deal with it!"
Mattevich put down the telescope and continued, "At that time, we will have to attack Holm in another way!"
Chapter completed!
