This steel monster has become a huge resistance in the battle. To deal with it with only light weapons is like using a mantis to shake a tree and use it as a chariot.［［ ?{＜
Yang Mingzhi knew very well that this kind of armored train must always have heavy armor. It is not like a tank at all. Because of the conflict between the power of the fuel engine and the thickness of the armor, tanks from various countries can only make a balance between mobility and defense.
As for the armored train, its power system is a powerful boiler. With its full horsepower, it can naturally carry a thicker turtle truck. In particular, the boiler room at the core of its power is covered with a thick layer of steel plates.
Before the anti-tank guns arrived, Yang Mingzhi could only order his men to continue shooting at the iron guy.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, we will wait until our anti-tank guns arrive!" Yang Mingzhi ordered the soldiers around him.
At this moment, more than 600 people invaded the train station. Due to the firepower of the armored train, the troops' offensive was seriously hindered. Every second that passed, the danger increased by one point. Perhaps the enemy had immediately notified Kiev, and soon
The reinforcements will arrive soon.
Yang Mingzhi did not doubt the progress of the German army. If they were on the road, they would naturally be able to run wildly. Human feet can outrun cars. If the troops have not made any progress by then, the mission will be considered a failure, and they can only feel resentful.
retreat.
But retreat? Yelentina will go crazy! This militant will not hesitate to shoot anyone who escapes, and she herself must have been prepared to die in battle.
No, Yang Mingzhi directly saw this woman holding a rifle and shooting at the enemy. It was really heart-wrenching.
The German soldiers were fighting under the cover of the armored train at this moment. Neither they nor this behemoth was advancing, and its troop strength was still increasing. Yang Mingzhi regretted a little. If he had not ordered the mortar unit to use up all the ammunition, he should have been able to fire another one at this moment.
There was a barrage. Then the soldiers mounted their bayonets and launched a charge. Perhaps the armored train could be captured.
Yang Mingzhi hid under the ruins, and beside him were Natasha and Igor. The two temporarily formed a sniper team, and the anti-tank gun was assembled and ready.
"There is no way now, Natasha, no matter whether it works or not, your anti-tank gun must shoot!" Yang Mingzhi ordered at the top of his voice.
Natasha was in a world full of noise, surrounded by flames and explosions. She heard the order and immediately followed it calmly and even numbly.
She is the first anti-tank gunner to prepare, and the improved dual muzzle brakes can well offset the recoil. She is the shooter, and Igor is responsible for observing and supplying ammunition.
"My dear, you have to find a way to kill the enemy's cannon. This is your mission, to silence all the enemy's artillery and machine guns." After that, Yang Mingzhi turned around and left the position.
By chance, many anti-tank warriors arrived belatedly, carrying huge guns, and immediately received Yang Mingzhi's direct order to fight head-on. "All of you, shoot and change places, remember this, otherwise
It’s too easy to be used as a target for enemy artillery!”
The soldiers have learned a lot of theoretical knowledge on how to fight guerrillas in their daily lives. Besides, these people are basically veterans of many battles. In addition to being lucky enough to survive until now, their technical and tactical skills are also very high. It is probably best to let them withstand the front.
choice, but they really attracted firepower, and the battle must be very fierce.
On the front, machine gunners and anti-tank gunners held back the enemy, and bullets hit the artillery mantlet of the armored train.
Yang Mingzhi took a few people and quickly arrived at the position where Balzen was sitting. They fought fiercely with the enemy, using the destroyed locomotive as a cover to fight fiercely with the enemy.
Balzen was startled by Yang Mingzhi's sudden visit. "Deputy Commander, you shouldn't appear here. It's too dangerous here."
"Danger! Come on! If we don't deal with this turtle quickly, we will all be doomed!"
"But, that thing is so powerful. How do we defeat it?"
"Of course it's an anti-tank gun!" Yang Mingzhi said loudly, "You lead your people and follow me to evacuate here. We have to detour to its side. You stop your people now and tie up the grenade bundles!"
Yang Mingzhi's plan was nothing more than a feint attack from the front and a main attack from the side. The trump card was the anti-tank gun being transported.
Only a small number of people from the reconnaissance company stayed at their posts, while the rest moved to attack. Under the leadership of Yang Mingzhi, they met with the guard company.
After wasting some time, the soldiers responsible for transporting the anti-tank guns finally arrived. Jelentina was still fighting head-on, and because she had delayed many fighter planes, she was immediately furious with the artillery!
Just when she was getting angry, Yang Mingzhi led a group of people back. "Okay! My political commissar, it's already very hard for them to move such a heavy thing here, so you don't have to blame them!"
Artillery commander Doronin breathed a sigh of relief. Being criticized by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very serious. Fortunately, the deputy division commander came to smooth things over.
"Comrade Deputy Division Commander, we have experienced battles and advanced while fighting. Our artillery company escorted the anti-tank guns and successfully arrived!" Doronin reported with a staggering salute.
"Okay, you are finally here." Yang Mingzhi quickly turned to Yelenkina and said, "I'll leave the front to you! I will lead the death squad to go around and bombard the enemy from the flank!"
Yelentina became anxious when she heard this: "No! You said that you will not be at the forefront of this battle! Do you want to die?!"
"Death? How is that possible!" Yang Mingzhi said with a smile, but his expression immediately turned serious. "Just do as I say. Natasha, listen to your sister, the political commissar, and be careful to aim at the enemy's observation port!"
Yang Mingzhi still remembers the promise he made to his wife. As the deputy division commander, he will be responsible for the entire division and will not be stupid like a subordinate company commander and attack the soldiers. But who cares if his eyes are red? Besides, time is very precious! Let’s put those promises aside for the time being.
The fighter plane disappeared fleetingly on one side.
Because the arm injury was just right, he couldn't hold the submachine gun wildly and shoot. The subordinates were responsible for the hard work. At this moment, he was the supervisor of the army.
At this moment, part of the German army was severely held back by Yevgeny's battalion, and part of it relied on armored trains to fight. Yang Mingzhi led more than 200 people to detour through the streets. They encountered slight resistance and suddenly broke into the enemy's warehouse.
Yang Mingzhi was shocked now!
"Oh my God! This is a fuel warehouse! There's gasoline everywhere!"
A new fighter plane appeared and actually touched the enemy's oil depot. He immediately ordered the troops to start pouring oil immediately.
"Artillerymen, set up anti-tank guns now and count the ammunition. Others, open the lids of the oil drums and pour them for me!"
The order was issued and the soldiers took action immediately. Balzen had some doubts: "Sir, we are in an oil depot. If it explodes, we will all die!"
"That's right, so you should be careful! We will use a sea of fire to block the enemy, and we will finally blow up the oil depot! Let the enemy and their supplies go to hell!"
The artillerymen quickly assembled the anti-tank guns and aimed at the enemy's "soft belly."
"Report to the commander! The artillery has been debugged! Please give instructions!" the soldier stood at attention and said.
"Hurry up and get down here! Count the shells and use armor-piercing shells to hit me!"
"Yes! Sir!"
According to the artillery drill, these artillerymen placed the ammunition on the right side of the artillery. There was a storekeeper, a ammunition feeder, and a gunner, and the three of them coordinated.
The gunner skillfully opened the gun door, inserted the shells and closed the gun bolt.
"The shells are ready! Please give instructions!"
Yang Mingzhi grinned with satisfaction, raised his binoculars, and saw the armored train under gunfire.
"fire!"
Yang Mingzhi waved his right hand and the gunner fired. The armor-piercing projectile cut through the air and hit the side armor of the enemy's armored train with a whoosh.
The enemy clearly noticed the abnormality, and the train driver yelled: "It's a cannonball! I have to get out of here quickly!" He kept muttering what the soldiers were saying, but actually couldn't hear it at all. He just started to start the train, thinking of a frontal attack.
The Soviet troops advanced.
Jelentina was startled and put her pistol on her helmet. "Damn it, they are going to rush into us! Prepare the demolitioners!"
The train moved very slowly because the behemoth was too heavy and the acceleration was very low.
Knowing that there were not many opportunities, Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered the gunner to continue loading. "Use picric acid shells, target, the wheels of the enemy train!"
The gunner immediately adjusted the shooting angle and fired flatly. A shell directly hit the steel wheel. After the violent explosion, the wheel was damaged. At this moment, the train had some power. After the wheel was damaged, it was still moving forward due to inertia. Suddenly, the friction flames shot into the sky.
Huge sparks set off on the railroad tracks.
"Good job! Keep fighting! Shoot two more explosive bombs, and then use armor-piercing bombs!" Yang Mingzhi ordered excitedly.
The gunner's reward was not in vain. Two picric acid bombs hit both. The side attack successfully blocked the movement of the train. Only the machine guns and artillery above were still firing.
Natasha and other anti-tank gunners fired frequently. One of the machine gun turrets on the armored train had misfired. Everyone believed that it had blown the head of the shooter inside, and they immediately kept firing. However, the gun mantlet was too strong and could not be penetrated at all.
However, the hard time of the Soviet army was over soon. Anti-tank guns began to use tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles, which were airdropped by BT tanks. The train driver knew that he had become a target, because when he was being shelled, he actually led the stoker along with him.
Jumped out of the car and ran away!
The coal was still boiling a pot of hot water, and the pressure rose sharply. Furthermore, anti-tank shells eroded the armor outside the boiler one after another. Even though it was very hard, it could not withstand the continuous destruction of the shells. Finally, the boiler was compressed and deformed, and an artillery shell
The metal tungsten gives the boiler a small crack, but that's enough.
The huge pressure accumulated in the boiler suddenly burst out at this moment, and the locomotive was blown to pieces by the steam! The earth was also shaken, and the debris was blown up all over the sky.
Yang Mingzhi almost jumped up with excitement. He raised his pistol and ordered: "Demoman! Come on, blow up the train station!"
The soldiers suddenly burst out with astonishing roars. The submachine gunners opened the way in front, and the others held cluster grenades and destroyed the remaining locomotives one by one. The armored train, the biggest resistance to the troops, was completely destroyed due to the steam explosion. The German troops around it were
The shock wave shook his liver and gallbladder to pieces, and caused bleeding from all his orifices. The debris flew everywhere and killed many lives.
Yelentina also knew that she had succeeded, so she could order the troops to charge and expand the victory.
All the locomotives on the train station were either blown up or were targeted by anti-tank guns. The locomotives were destroyed, followed by the trains. The trains that were still carrying goods during the day became targets, and soon all the trains were blown up.
The cargo above, wheat flour, has begun to burn.
In this way, the goal of the battle has been achieved! Yang Mingzhi was on the battlefield, the sound of gunfire never stopped, there were ruins everywhere, and there were a lot of corpses. "Okay, it's over!" (To be continued.) 8
