Others in the Soviet artillery company, carrying light mortars with a caliber of only 50 mm, advanced to a distance of only 500 meters from the town.
Heavy fire coverage.
The Soviet infantry attacked together with the tanks. Under the light of the explosion, a large number of figures were advancing.
Not all German troops were frightened by the sudden attack. The scale of the attack was unprecedented, and battalion commander Gustav realized that something was wrong.
Some German soldiers discovered that a large number of armed people were attacking. Needless to say, these must be enemies. The instinctive counterattack was carried out immediately!
Two simple machine gun bunkers opened fire first, and the Soviet troops began to suffer casualties.
The German machine guns opened fire at night, and the mg34's powerful fire shot the green laser bullets like lasers, which also exposed their position.
The Soviet soldiers immediately lay down. The night gave everyone good cover. The light was not strong and it was difficult for the German soldiers to aim at the exact target. However, they also saw three strange objects spraying tongues of fire.
"Damn! These enemies even have tanks! Are these the so-called guerrillas?! They are obviously regular troops! Go and report to the battalion commander!"
A German platoon leader guarding the southern part of the town grabbed a soldier and ordered him to report the news.
Even with the presence of tanks, the German machine guns did not stop. Soon, the barrel of the gun was deformed due to excessive strafing, and in the panic, the German soldiers even forgot to put on asbestos gloves. The deputy shooter was burned, and in a panic, the machine gun suddenly misfired.
Roshakov, who was in the rear, discovered that the attack was encountering resistance, and he immediately reported to the tank crew.
"I order you to eliminate the enemy's firepower points and fire!"
These three tanks were all equipped with on-board radios. Tank platoon leader Chekov immediately ordered all tank gunners. "Everyone pay attention, aim at the enemy's machine gun position and fire!"
Three tanks fired at the same time, destroying a firepower point in one fell swoop.
The shell was thrown out, and the shooter loaded another one. The tank cabin was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the commander had to open the top cover for ventilation. Because the light was relatively dim, Chekov could not judge the enemy's firepower well when he was destroyed.
, he ordered his men to fire five shots in a row before he felt relieved.
There was no obstacle, and the infantry quickly got up and continued to move forward. They strode through the snow in rapid strides. At this moment, some of the German soldiers woke up. Many of them were still wearing simple clothes. They even just put on cotton-padded clothes and started fighting. They made hasty preparations.
, coupled with the embarrassment, the German army's combat effectiveness was extremely poor.
There were about a hundred people blocking the Soviet army in the south of the town. They faced an enemy force of up to 2,000 men. The German army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower.
To make matters worse, the Soviet army advanced far enough and Yang Mingzhi's rockets reached the effective range.
Each class has a rocket launcher who pushes the radiation into the rocket, lights the fuse with a match, and waits for about two seconds before the "large sky-penetrating monkey", which is almost as powerful as a grenade, flies out. Its accuracy is average.
, if used intensively, it can still cause a catastrophic blow to the German positions.
More than fifty rockets flew one after another. They dragged white smoke and hit the enemy's position. Suddenly, rubble flew everywhere, and many people were killed and injured. In order to pursue lethality, this kind of rocket added some waste eggshells.
Fragments greatly make up for the lack of explosion power.
The enemy's blockade by a company had collapsed at this moment, and half of the soldiers were unable to fight after the rocket attack.
The vanguard of the Soviet army were all armed with rifles or MP38s. The German army was completely unable to withstand the powerful firepower of submachine guns.
In fact, due to the long-term use of ** sand, the rifling of many guns has been almost worn out, and the soldiers are almost fighting with "smoothbore guns". When the trigger is pulled, bullets fly, but the soldiers only have such weapons, and the old guns have to continue.
use.
Even with the intensive use of this terrible old submachine gun, the barrage made up for the lack of accuracy, and the remaining German troops were completely suppressed by firepower.
A platoon of Soviet soldiers took the lead in breaking into the city. The German defense line in the southern part of the town had collapsed. These soldiers immediately expanded their victory. They had already invaded the streets and alleys of the town and began to engage in street fighting with the German army.
"Granada!" a soldier shouted, throwing a grenade into the building. Three seconds later, there was a violent explosion, and a scream came from the room.
Several soldiers took advantage of the chaos to break in and shoot. They knew the cruelty of street fighting, so the soldiers often tested it with grenades first.
However, several soldiers kicked open the door of a room, holding a flashlight. When they saw a person in front of them, they immediately opened fire with their submachine guns.
The man fell down immediately, but there was a woman on the bed next to him. She was not wearing clothes, and her face was frightened, and her whole body was shaking.
"Squad leader! This seems to be what the sniper said, fascist whore! I think we have to get rid of him too!" said a young soldier.
"No! Andre, you don't have to be so aggressive. I'm afraid this woman was coerced."
But not all civilians are as lucky as this woman. Yang Mingzhi taught his men how to deal with street fighting. The method was very simple, which was to search house to house, often using grenades to clear the way to ensure safety. Therefore, many civilians who stayed behind were simply killed.
Of course, it also killed many German soldiers.
Battalion Commander Gustav quickly got dressed, holding a pistol and giving orders. "Don't panic, all of you, go and fight for me!" He fired his Tianming gun, while the soldiers in front of him were still running around.
Bombs from the sky.
A sharp whistling sound echoed in the air, and Gustav frowned and looked at the dark night sky.
"Danger!" A soldier threw him down and saved his life, because the bomb exploded not far away.
Gustav coughed twice and his ears were ringing. When he tried to get up, he found that the soldier who had just protected him had been killed.
At this moment, the arrogance and order of the army were non-existent. There were sounds of gunfire and urrahs not far away. It was obvious that the enemy had already attacked.
"Damn it! Those who are still alive, retreat with me! The entire army retreats!"
Escape was the most important thing. Gustav didn't know how many troops the enemy had. Just when he was about to retreat, the person who conveyed the news staggered and knelt down in front of him.
"What's the matter with you! Retreat now! Get up now, or you will die." At this point, Gustav suddenly saw that the man's cotton-padded clothes were stained red with blood, and he was still trying to speak while saying, "What's wrong with you?"
While vomiting blood.
"Report...report to the battalion commander that the Soviet army has attacked. They have at least one regiment of troops and tanks..." The soldier did not say any more. He was already dead.
Gustav's mind was buzzing. These guerrillas actually had tanks. What if they weren't regular troops?! This was the most important information. They were in the swamps in the south. They were not guerrillas at all, they were regular troops.
, is a malignant sore planted by the Soviet military in the occupied areas!
Escape! This belief drove Gustav to retreat, and more than 200 people retreated with him. As for the remaining people, they were either dead or captured.
Rosakov advanced with the army and successfully entered the city.
At six o'clock in the morning, all German resistance came to an end. The last German platoon decided to lay down its weapons and surrender. They threw their helmets, armed belts and firearms out of the houses, and walked out one by one holding their heads like mice.
The Soviet soldiers were waiting outside, the spears on their rifles glowing coldly. Morning had arrived, and they could clearly see the faces of the invaders.
The prisoners and all civilians who were found alive were gathered in the town square, and the offensive was declared over. (To be continued.) 8
