"Equipment of a launcher." Guchakov ordered the troops to stop advancing, the first order issued was to set up a launcher for a rocket and prepare for launch: "After locking the enemy's target, launch immediately."
The soldiers were familiar with the use of the rocket launcher for a long time. In less than two minutes, they were ready for launch. Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Guchakov raised his hand high above his head, then waved his head suddenly and shouted loudly: "Start!"
With Guchakov's order, twelve rockets flew towards the place where the Germans gathered. This round of launch had just ended, and before they could see the outcome of the battle, Guchakov ordered the loading again and prepared for the second launch.
The first twelve rockets quickly landed in the enemy's queue and exploded, exploding the German officers and soldiers who were pushing the carts into blood and flesh. Some trucks that were originally trapped in the mud were overturned by the explosion of air waves; some tarpaulins caught fire and were burning; some were directly blown into pieces by the rockets, and all kinds of corpses were lying around.
Before the enemy could escape, another rocket shot flew over and landed in the place just now and exploded. After this explosion, the road was full of truck wreckage, burning with fire and rolling black smoke. The two or three hundred German officers and soldiers who were pushing carts could stand up after the two explosions were over.
After seeing the German army through the telescope, Guchakov immediately issued an order to attack his subordinates. For a moment, more than 200 soldiers rushed out of the forest with their weapons, stepped on the muddy road, and rushed towards the German army that was in chaos ahead.
The area where the German infantry was attacked was located, and the tank column in front was intact. He noticed that the Soviet army was rushing out of the nearby forest. Many tanks parked on the road adjusted their muzzles and bombarded the Soviet commanders and fighters who were charging in the distance.
The shells fell into the Soviet army and exploded. Although Guchakov kept a sufficient distance for each soldier to reduce casualties in the army. However, when the enemy's shells fell into the queue, soldiers were still blown away by the explosion air waves or were knocked down by flying debris. In just one or two minutes, forty or fifty soldiers fell under the enemy's artillery fire.
Fortunately, the anti-tank soldiers acted quickly, so they quickly approached the German tanks, hid in the dead corner of enemy artillery fire, and opened fire when aiming at the enemy tanks.
The 41st Guard Division issued a rocket launcher developed by Sokov, which is a powerful weapon for tank shooting. Not to mention a distance of fifty or sixty meters, even if it is a hundred meters apart, it can still penetrate the side armor of the German tank. Six rocket launchers fired at the same time, and the separated rockets destroyed four tanks.
Because the view in the tank was not good, the remaining tanks did not notice that their companions' tanks were destroyed, and they still aimed at the Soviet soldiers charging in the distance to launch artillery bombardment.
After destroying four German tanks, the anti-tank soldiers continued to advance. Although these anti-tank soldiers did not train for a long time, due to the short shooting distance, the huge giant as big as the German tanks was stuck in a muddy road and could not move. The distance was close, so it was strange that they could not hit. In this way, the anti-tank soldiers launched two more attacks and reimbursed all the remaining tanks.
Although the Germans are usually aggressive and powerful, once they lose the cover of the tank, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The tanks are destroyed, and the firepower of the remaining armored vehicles is not enough to suppress the Soviet attack. Therefore, some soldiers saw that the situation is not good, and when they saw the Soviet army rushing over, they fled from the battlefield in a hurry without firing a single shot.
The battle did not last long, but the results were not bad. A total of twenty German tanks, fourteen armored vehicles and twenty-five trucks were destroyed, killing and injuring countless enemies.
When Sokov learned that the troops commanded by Guchakov had successfully damaged the enemy, he was very happy and also had a little worry. In this battle, Guchakov's troops suffered more than half of them. If such a victory came a few more times, he would lose all the commanders and fighters who could compete with him. At that time, it would be impossible to win with a group of new recruits.
When Haussel learned that the troops he sent were attacked by the Soviet army and almost suffered all casualties, he immediately ignored the coffee cup in his hand. This cup was given to him by someone else in France, saying that it was a coffee cup used by Louis XVI. He liked it very much. He even did it himself every time he cleaned it, for fear that the orderly soldiers would break the cup when they were clumsy.
But at this moment, when he heard that the troops he sent suffered a great loss again, he couldn't help but be angry and prepared to send troops south again. However, his order was rejected by the commander of the 6th Armored Division. He said sternly: "I equipped the 2nd Battalion of the 114th Regiment, which is equipped with a half-tracked armored personnel carrier, is the strongest unit in my division at present. But after encountering the Russians, he suffered a severe blow in less than an hour, and less than a quarter of the people fled back. If you still want to send my subordinates to the south, I am worried that it won't take long to leave my troops with an empty number."
"What about you, General Etling." Seeing that the commander of the 6th Armored Division refused to execute his orders, Haussel could only pin his hopes on Major General Etling, the commander of the 17th Armored Division: "Can your troops launch an attack on the Russian cities?"
"General Hauser, please be honest." Seeing the heavy casualties of friendly forces, Etrin was unwilling to let his troops take risks easily, so he told Hauser: "The reason why the 6th Armored Division's troops failed so quickly is very simple. The outside world began to thaw outside the past two days, and the roads became muddy, and our tanks and armored vehicles could not move at all. Once they were trapped in the mud, they would become targets for Russian attacks. Therefore, we cannot act rashly until the road becomes beneficial to the passage of tanks."
The reason why Etlin said this to Hauser was because he understood that he was the National Defense Force, and Hauser was commanding the SS. Based on the recent battle situation, his superiors were preparing to sacrifice the National Defense Force to help the SS, let the National Defense Force and the Russians fight to consume, and then put the SS in the battle after the two sides were almost done. In this way, the National Defense Force had the worst casualties, and the SS was the one who won the victory and gained reputation. He did not want his troops to act as cannon fodder.
Seeing that the two armored division commanders of the National Defense Forces were unwilling to send their own troops to attack, Hauser was not able to force them to get too close. After all, after Sokov's disruption, his three SSs needed to take a period of rest before they could reopen. Therefore, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, two generals, then I will give you two more days to rest. After two days, no matter what the road is, you must launch an attack on the Red Army Village again."
