The German army that was confronting the Soviet army had its plane destroyed on July 11. The White Stork reconnaissance plane that landed was broken into pieces. At the same time, the confidence of thousands of German and puppet soldiers was severely hit.
It is said that reinforcements from superiors are coming. Can the plight of the troops be alleviated? No! The current situation is that the superiors have clearly ordered that the troops are not allowed to retreat and must maintain a long-term confrontation with the Soviet army.
The destroyed aircraft illustrates a lot of problems, that is, the Soviet army has the initiative on the battlefield, and their artillery level is also very strong. Cold artillery at a distance of more than three kilometers can actually accurately hit the aircraft. Doesn't this explain the problem?
The Germans had nothing to do except continue to dig trenches and drain the trenches. Due to the lack of tools, the wide steel helmets became the best water scoops. What was very embarrassing was that the water in the trenches was drained out, and gradually the water seeped up.
.All this is really like the French battlefield more than 20 years ago.
The German officers and soldiers spent another night in the trenches. The Soviet army has not carried out a large-scale attack in the past few days. Yesterday's cold artillery attack did not kill a single German officer and soldier after all. The soldiers were not overly nervous. It was all because everyone was nervous.
For too long, I gradually became mentally paralyzed.
The German officers and soldiers in the trenches discussed the future of the troops a lot, and one kind of opinion was very popular.
That is the so-called "what kind of stamina the Soviet army still has." Some soldiers believe that their superiors are competing with the enemy for their overall strength. No matter how strong the Soviet army is, they are still besieged in the swamp. It is conceivable that the strong combat power can
How long will it last? As long as the war continues to drag on, the final victory will belong to Germany.
As long as the German army strengthens its defense here and eats up the Soviet army's living space bit by bit, the anti-German forces in Pripyat will eventually be eliminated.
There is nothing wrong with the logic of this beautiful conjecture. Muller and Griffin really hope that the war will be won in this way. Isn't this the only way to win the war now? After all, if the German army cannot win, there is no reason for the German army to defend here.
Retreat.
So from the perspective of the Soviet army, how could they not know the danger of logistical collapse they faced? If the Soviet army wanted to win, it could only rely on a quick battle.
Muller was very worried that the Soviet army would launch a massive offensive. As long as this attack was resisted, he believed that the balance of victory would tilt in favor of the German army.
The sun rose as usual, and thick fog quickly rose in the forest. The thick fog caused the soldiers' firearms to adhere to a layer of water droplets. All German machine gunners were ordered to prepare for battle. Almost all of their guns were aimed at the west, because there was
The direction of the Soviet army's attack. If the Soviet army wants to attack today, the fog will undoubtedly be the best cover.
Muller believed that the most dangerous time was the three hours after dawn. During these three hours, he was on pins and needles, and his forehead was covered with water droplets, which looked like fog, but were actually sweat. When the fog gradually dissipated, he became nervous.
My heart finally calmed down.
Griffin, the regiment leader who was also relaxed, asked: "What exactly makes you so nervous? It's because you are worried about the Soviet attack."
"Haha, isn't it the same for you? To be honest, if the Soviet army attacked, just now would be the best time. Now the fog is about to clear, and we are finally safe."
"Oh! I hope there is no war today! And our planes, they'd better keep dropping a lot of supplies."
The two officers sat in a trench that was dug to a height of two and a half meters, talking loudly about the future of the army.
Suddenly, an unusual whistling sound came from the sky. What was that?! It was all self-explanatory.
Muller, who was reluctantly optimistic about the future a second ago, yelled "achtung" and fell down regardless of his cleanliness. He immediately threw himself into the puddle in the trench. Even if he was covered in mud and filthy, it was still worse than being killed.
Blast to death.
Just half a minute ago, Doronin received the bombardment order, and the Soviet artillery preparations began!
With a sharp whistling sound, the artillery shells first hit the puppet army's positions. The loud explosions of the artillery shells broke the tranquility of the morning, and the shock waves and shrapnel first began to kill the puppet soldiers.
The police regiment was composed of Belarusians. The German army of course used them as cannon fodder. Muller originally ordered these people to dig deeper trenches in order to protect themselves in future battles. He completely overestimated the combat attitude and skills of these people.
Tactical level. After all, how can puppet troops trained to clear out guerrillas receive systematic education in positional warfare tactics?
They didn't dig a deep hole. At most, they hurriedly dug a few shovels after Muller sent someone to supervise them in person. Once they left, they continued to sit around and smoke. They believed that the Germans would retreat soon, and they would too.
Follow and withdraw.
Their wrong actions finally paid a heavy price today.
After three rapid-fire rounds, each Soviet artillery entered a free-firing state of one round every half minute.
While the artillery was unleashing its power, Doronin had already arrived at the front line with his observers, holding telescopes to pay close attention to the spectacular scene in the distance.
The first ones to be hit were the puppet army's positions, followed by those of the German army.
The artillery fire has been going on for ten minutes, and the puppet army position has been shrouded in thick smoke.
He grabbed an observer and said: "Run to the position. When you run there, immediately notify the troops to extend the bombardment. Notify the rocket launcher troops to open fire immediately."
In just five minutes, the most powerful attack Doronin expected began!
Five white dragons rose from the woods, roaring and dragging huge white smoke, and flew towards the German position. The rocket launcher was more efficient than the howitzer. When each gun position rested and adjusted the muzzle elevation, the rocket launcher made up for it.
This firepower is vacuum.
The 63rd Group Army's third most powerful weapon, the Catfish rocket, began to deal crazy blows to the German positions. The formula of the rocket that exploded when it hit the ground was slightly changed by the arsenal. The warhead was loaded with nearly 20 kilograms of Amato explosives, and the range was therefore
There were some losses. After all, they were consumables specially used for this battle. They were equivalent to the huge power of three 152mm artillery shells. Even if the German army dug a trench two meters deep, it would be of no avail.
When a rocket explodes in the soil, the cubic law of decreasing power with distance is still valid. Moreover, the environment where the German army is located is relatively soft, the soil contains more water, and the explosion affects a larger area.
Each bomb blasted a crater with a depth of more than one meter and a radius of ten meters. A large amount of water-containing soil was blasted into the sky. Doronin, observing from a distance, saw an even more spectacular sight of black smoke and dust.
He was so excited that he simply stood up, slapped his thighs and shouted loudly: "Go to hell! You Nazis will turn into pieces under the blow of the Soviet iron fist!"
Thousands of Soviet soldiers were watching all this. The rocket launchers hit the area one after another. The amount of black soil that rose up was astonishing. Look at the black smoke rising up. The explosion seemed to blow the area into a basin.
In this situation, who would believe that the enemy would survive?
Even after the artillery preparations were completed, the Romanians, as pathfinders, suddenly felt that there was no danger in the subsequent actions. Brimayo's eyes were stunned with shock. He did not think that the German troops would be completely killed. After all, they had
Thousands of people. But after this crazy round of shelling by the Soviet army, the only people who survived were probably a lot of wounded soldiers whose eardrums were shattered and lost their ability to fight.
The German trenches themselves were reinforced with tree trunks. In order to avoid artillery bombardment, they were planned in a zigzag shape. At the bottom of the trenches, there were a large number of artillery shelters. Their existence could indeed ensure that most soldiers could survive under the bombardment of low-power artillery shells. However,
Facing the attack of powerful artillery shells, all I could do was cross myself and pray in the tunnel.
The ruthless rockets did not give the Germans any chance. All the German soldiers near the center of the explosion were blown into the sky together with the soft soil, and then fell into pieces. Everything really echoed Doronin's sentiments, they really became successful.
Fertilizer that nourished Soviet vegetation.
Death came suddenly, and even broke into pieces without pain, which may be a kind of luck among misfortunes. Because more people were injured by the violent explosion, many soldiers covered their bleeding ears and wailed, and some violently coughed up blood.
There were also a large number of people who were unconscious and buried alive near artillery pits. It is really sad that the tunnels dug to save their lives have now become the graves of soldiers.
In fact, after the war, the Russian Digging Party dug up skeletons and remains and a large number of well-preserved soldiers' belongings on the battlefield. This was the reason why many soldiers died. They were buried alive in trenches by artillery.
