Coming out of the trench in front of Position 19, the two anti-tank guns, under the skilled control of the Soviet soldiers, fired shells at the German tanks that entered the fire range time and time again, enough to penetrate the side armor.
On the other hand, the Germans had already noticed the existence of this trench after the exchange of fire two days ago, so soon after the war started, almost all mortar shells hit it, even those of the tanks.
The first goal is to solve this destructive nail first.
But in this nail, in addition to the artillery specifically targeting tanks and a few soldiers using anti-tank guns, the rest of the machine gun firepower was aimed at the infantry following the tanks.
Further behind the machine gun firepower point, there are several reserve artillery squads led by veterans hiding in thick bunkers. Once there are casualties in the two anti-tank guns that fired against the mortar bombardment, they will immediately respond.
superior.
Even next to them, under the wreckage of the tank that served as a defensive circle, there were several soldiers holding explosive packs and even cluster grenades in their arms. Whenever a tank prepared to collide with the wreckage of these two tanks, every time those who used anti-reaction weapons around them
When the tank gun comrades are unable to destroy the approaching tanks, they will rush out of the bunker in the order arranged in advance and die together with those tanks!
These soldiers who can be called death squads include new recruits who joined a week ago, and veterans who joined just a few days ago. Some of them have firm faces, some have tears streaming down their faces, and some even have stinky secrets oozing from their waistbands.
urine.
But even so, whenever they hear the whistle, the soldiers waiting at the entrance and exit of the bunker will still rush out without hesitation, shouting slogans that perhaps only they can hear, and light the fuse without any hesitation.
Amidst the violent explosions that sounded from time to time, more and more tanks were lying down around the trenches or even dying in explosions, while fewer and fewer soldiers were holding explosive bags in the bunkers.
Even those soldiers holding anti-tank guns or operating machine guns have jumped out of the trenches, using the remains of German tanks as shelters, hiding under the low and hot chassis, and pulling the triggers again and again at targets close at hand!
And whenever there was a casualty, someone would immediately push away the body of his companion and get on top of it before the barrel of the gun could cool down.
On the other hand, in Position 19, the remaining anti-tank gun and the soldiers holding anti-tank guns around it were not idle either. They almost used the two trapped anti-tank guns and the death squads as bait to specifically attack
Kill the supporting tanks.
As for the remaining enemies who rushed directly to Position 19, they were completely handed over to the simple mines that had been planted on the battlefield a week ago, and those who had to focus their fire on the same tank to successfully destroy the opponent's counterattack.
Tank gun!
Finally, a mortar shell hit an anti-tank gun in the forward trench. The shrapnel exploded by the bombing instantly destroyed this vital artillery and its crew members!
Vanya, who was specifically responsible for keeping an eye on this place, clenched her fists and hammered the sandbag wall in front of her hard, not even noticing that dark red blood was pouring out of the open wound on her temple.
As he and Wei Ran watched helplessly, the only remaining anti-tank gun in the trench did not last long before it was completely destroyed by the opponent's mortar that seemed to have eyes!
Weiran, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately shook the handle of the phone a few times. After waiting for two seconds, he immediately cut the phone line with pliers and connected it to a simple detonation control panel made of wooden boards.
At the other end of the phone line, almost as soon as the crisp ringtone rang, a soldier who had been preparing for a long time immediately threw the detonating explosive into the bunker where the artillery shells were stored, and then pulled off the phone line and connected it with the detonating wire in his hand.
Then he decisively blew the whistle he had been holding in his mouth.
At the clear whistle, the remaining surviving soldiers immediately carried a shell on their backs, covering each other's retreat. At the same time, the last anti-tank gun in position 19 and the surrounding machine guns, anti-tank guns and even submachine guns also began to suppress it.
Sex shot.
But even so, there were only less than ten soldiers who came out of the trenches alive in the end! After they ran back to position 19 with a few usable shells, the last anti-aircraft gun that completed the cover mission
The tank gun also immediately turned its muzzle and continued to fire at the tank that had almost rushed behind the barbed wire fence!
On Weiran's side, Vanya grabbed his collar and asked loudly, "Answer me, you won't get the detonation sequence wrong, right?!"
"From small to large! From far to near!"
Wei Ran immediately responded at the top of his lungs, and at the same time, his mind couldn't help but recall Vanya's indifferent expression when he killed the collapsed soldiers with his pistol on the first night after arriving at Position 19.
"Since you don't plan to be a deserter, just defend your position. After all the blasting is completed, if you haven't been blown to pieces by the opponent's mortars, go look for the Aleutians at the anti-tank guns."
After Vanya finished speaking, she patted Wei Ran on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then simply left the bunker, taking the members of the suicide squad who had just returned, and ran along the wide trench towards the direction of the Aleutian company commander.
On the other hand, Wei Ran was focusing all his attention on the telescope fixed on the observation hole that was only as wide as his fist!
While he was waiting anxiously, in the field of view of the telescope, a group of German soldiers passed through the piled tank wreckage, cheering and jumped into the front trench of position 19 that was ravaged by mortars.
"Wait, wait!"
Wei Ran stared at the opponent's actions. From a distance of only 150 meters, with the help of a telescope, he could even see clearly the mud on the helmets of the opponent's soldiers!
Finally, a soldier raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the bunker, and at the same time, Wei Ran accurately pressed the wire he was holding in his left hand onto the phone line that was connected to the detonation control panel just a few minutes ago!
Just as the numbness and tingling pain caused by the electric current at the fingertips was transmitted along the nerves to the brain, the farthest end of the trench exploded almost at the same time.
A dozen 76mm anti-tank shells and almost as many 120mm mortar shells successfully exploded under the impact of detonating explosives.
The huge shock wave directly lifted the German soldiers who had just occupied it and even the wreckage of the two anti-tank guns into the air and splashed them everywhere!
Driven by the shock wave, a bloody breeze blew along the shooting hole and behind the sandbag wall.
Wei Ran, who was responsible for the detonation, was stunned, then closed his mouth tightly and put his eyes back to the eyepiece of the telescope. He didn't know whether he was a veteran now, let alone what he had taken away from him in the explosion that he had just decided.
How many lives have been lost.
But he knew that even at the very beginning of the explosion, he could see very clearly through the telescope, but it would never be the same as when he stabbed the German sniper to death with a bayonet in the city of Stalingrad.
Uncontrollably, I vomited out the boiled potatoes that I had eaten enough in the past few days.
