Chapter 1419 The Raid of Five Thousand Female Soldiers (2)
The ground trembled due to their footsteps, and thousands of figures suddenly appeared in the dark forest under the setting sun.
The women shouted Ula with their sharp voices and thrust their spears forward in unison. Their courage was no less than that of the men.
The German artillery regiment soon discovered a large number of black figures rushing out of the forest. Faced with the sudden situation, many people actually rubbed their eyes that were tired from the smoke, trying to see who it was.
However, the incoming artillery shells immediately woke up everyone who was in a daze - the Soviet army suddenly came out.
Each recoilless gun team in the two female regiments set up their tripods in an assault and immediately fired the shells. The muzzle elevation angle was nearly 45°, and the shells reached their maximum range and could barely reach the German artillery position.
The number of artillery teams in the Women's Corps was small, and the artillery shells fired did not even cause any casualties in the German army at first. But the shock and confusion it caused to the German army was real!
Because of the frequent movements and the sudden establishment of new positions, the German artillery soldiers were panting. Many of them were even shirtless, and their skin was slightly blackened by gunpowder smoke. And because of carrying heavy artillery shells, their physical strength was also exhausted.
few.
After the regiment leader saw that the incoming group was a large group of roaring Soviet troops, he threw his glasses in surprise and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Russians are coming! Everyone! Pick up the gun immediately! Those who can't hold the gun,
Turn the artillery around and kill them all!"
The artillery regiment of the 634th Division has actually shrunk by 30%. The division began large-scale military operations in early May and has been engaged in high-intensity operations for two full months. It is difficult to replace the lost troops. As a last resort, both the logistics troops and the artillery have carried out
Downsizing.
There were only over 1,500 artillerymen left in the division. With such strength, the Soviet army charged in an emergency, even if it was a group of female soldiers, it would be difficult to stop them.
What's more, they didn't know that the ones charging were a group of women!
Many German soldiers reacted quickly. They picked up their guns and stuffed the bullets they found into the chambers.
After all, they are artillery, and their firepower output depends entirely on cannons. The other weapons are almost for self-defense. The main light weapons are rifles, and the number of machine gunners is less than one-fifth of the regular infantry regiment.
There were a large number of horses to take care of, and a large number of artillery shells were still loaded on the carriages. Even though the situation was very critical, the artillery regiment commander tried hard to stay calm. He knew that if he backed down, the entire regiment could collapse.
To rush to the German artillery positions, the Soviet army had to cover a distance of two kilometers. There were only a few trees scattered on the charging road, and their front was almost a smooth road.
With such a long distance, the German army had at least five minutes to react.
After the most critical five minutes, the German army finally began to unleash counterattack firepower.
Of the 1,500 German troops, most of them were lying on their backs and shooting with rifles. The firepower was still considerable, and Soviet casualties began to appear.
Many female soldiers were knocked down by sudden bullets. Even so, the soldiers who continued to charge glanced at their comrades who fell to the ground and groaned. Their will to charge did not weaken at all.
After all, they had already run a kilometer.
Joshua shouted at the top of his lungs: "Sisters, don't stop, we will win if we charge forward! Ula."
She took the lead, leading the surrounding soldiers, and then leading the entire regiment. Seeing how brave the friendly forces were, the soldiers of the Sashanova regiment next to her had no reason to be lazy.
Merciless bullets killed and wounded the soldiers in the front row, and many fell to the ground. The Soviet charge did not slow down.
Suddenly, in the charging formation, three violent explosions suddenly occurred - they were direct bombardments from the 75mm Krupp cannon!
A shell fell, and a squad of soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Even if they didn't die, they lost their ability to fight.
Joshua looked at what happened next in horror, her steps did not stop.
"Sisters, don't be afraid! Occupy the enemy's artillery positions, and those cannons belong to us!" She almost shouted at the top of her lungs to encourage her comrades, but she was actually shouting for herself.
It's so tragic to be hit by such a cannonball and end your life in an instant. Men are very afraid of it, let alone women.
The German artillery fired a second round, and the Soviet rearguard suffered a large number of casualties. Thanks to their triangle formation and the three-by-three squad formation, the casualties were not serious.
Their daily physical training finally turned into a powerful fighting force at this moment. As the distance got closer to only 200 meters, the Soviet RPG finally showed its power.
The thrown RPG warhead hit the ground and exploded, and hundreds of small fragments penetrated the German soldiers lying in the grass. In such a wilderness, there were no bunkers, and the German soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Besides, the Soviet RPG shooters were completely
It is loaded and fired while running, even if the shooter is a woman.
The RPG bombardment did not stop, and combined with the Soviet army's huge strength advantage, the German defense line established in a hurry was directly overwhelmed.
Many German soldiers only discovered that the enemy's face was quite delicate when their body was stabbed by a spear - the enemy was actually a woman.
"Go to hell! Fascist!" Joshua's eyes turned red. She didn't fire a single shot all the way. When she broke through the German defense line, the German in her arms fired 50 rounds of ammunition in one breath (she also understood
Loading too much ammunition can easily jam the drum.) Five panicked German soldiers were swept down and two horses were killed.
More than fifty howitzers are here, many of them even hanging on horse-drawn carriages, and their positions have not been formed at all. Almost all the horses were killed by recoilless rifle shells and large numbers of bullets without eyes in the melee. The number of German casualties was also high.
The number of people quickly exceeded 400.
The Soviet charge also cost more than 600 casualties before they initially occupied the German artillery positions.
It’s not that they were women. Due to their poor technical and tactical skills, a large number of soldiers were urgently mobilized militiamen, which is why there were such high casualties. They had done a good job and were well prepared for the impact without the help of tanks and armored vehicles.
Positions and massive casualties are always inevitable.
The female soldiers paid so many casualties, and their bravery finally paid off.
Facing the breached position, the commander of the German artillery regiment felt the deepest despair. Even in the Third Reich, only a few people were true warriors.
This leader is not a warrior.
He shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, retreat quickly, the position has collapsed. We must retreat to protect our material base."
If the Soviet troops led by Joshua and Sashanova continue to rush north regardless of casualties, they can advance four kilometers and find the German logistics base along the railway. There is a large amount of ammunition stacked there, and black food that can be directly eaten.
Bread, canned sauerkraut and meat, even canvas that can be used to build a tent.
The female soldiers who invaded the German positions directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the German soldiers who had no time to retreat.
The front line was captured so quickly that many German soldiers even grabbed more than a dozen fragmented bullets without even bayonets. The so-called hand-to-hand combat was simply a unilateral hand-to-hand fight by the Soviet army. Mosina was stabbed with a gun.
Gan, facing a bunch of Mauser 98Ks used as sticks, the Germans even used long-handled barrel brushes as weapons.
Five hundred German soldiers fought against eight times their number of female Soviet soldiers. This group of Slavic women finally demonstrated their brute force as a "fighting nation."
Everything seems to have returned to the battle at the end of May. The changed third regiment of the 284th Division and three battalions of female soldiers started a hand-to-hand battle with the Romanians. In any hand-to-hand battle, there will be many casualties.
After a battle, another 500 female soldiers fell. Aren't the German casualties even worse?
The German artillery regiment leader finally led more than 600 people to escape into the forest. One hundred of them were so hasty that they even carried a Mauser rifle without bullets. The regiment leader
The Soviet troops shamefully abandoned their subordinates in hand-to-hand combat, acting like cowards to protect the logistics supplies. They abandoned their subordinates and all the artillery of the abandoned 634th Division ran away.
However, this Ula charge of Soviet female soldiers did not end with the rapid collapse of the German artillery regiment.
It finally ended with a vigorous explosion, causing heavy casualties to Joshua's female regiment.
