The two sides in the battle did not rest anymore. The soldiers of the two armies were highly nervous. As the sky gradually turned blue, the tension became even more intense.?
Niklaus did not want to take the risk of a forceful attack. He believed that the enemy might only have seven or eight hundred men. The night battle showed that they had very strong combat capabilities. Their calm retreat made him guess that he would rush into the forest without even thinking.
Encirclement and suppression, God knows what will happen.
Fortunately, this guy did not turn from defense to offense, because the Soviet troops in the forest were three times his strength. Even with tanks and armored vehicles, they could not cause a devastating blow to these enemies equipped with a variety of anti-tank weapons.
The Soviet army also made some misjudgments. Yang Mingzhi determined that the German army had a lot of troops. They could show strong firepower. Obviously they were the main force of the 715th Division!
It was getting brighter, at six o'clock in the morning, which actually means seven o'clock in winter. The early morning light was still shining on the earth. At this coldest moment of the day, Yang Mingzhi ordered the operation to begin.
The army left the camp, and Tchaikov's remnants of troops and Balzen's troops stayed behind. Like Joshua, they would all go to the front line if necessary, so the total strength was as high as more than 4,000 people!
There are a total of five battalions responsible for the attack, with a total strength of just over 3,000. Each battalion has already started its own operations.
Yang Mingzhi personally commanded the main attack force and arrived at the outskirts of the forest. He also picked up his binoculars to observe the battlefield.
I saw that the battle at night left a lot of traces, the dark craters, and the dead soldiers, all of which were vivid in my mind. The enemy's position seemed to have been strengthened, about 400 meters away, and the movement of human figures could be seen through the telescope.
"It's really troublesome!" Yang Mingzhi put down the telescope and called Doronin over.
"Deputy division commander! Do you want us to establish an artillery position?"
"That's right!" Yang Mingzhi said, "This is very smart. But this position is set up in this forest, and the recoilless rifle is aimed at the enemy's firepower point."
Doronin immediately complied with the order. There were still eight recoilless gun groups under his command. People pushed the artillery to adjust the various elements. According to Yang Mingzhi's order, each of two groups dealt with a machine gun fortress, and each of them finished one
Immediately change positions behind the gun.
The precision shooters also established their own positions.
The two girls that Yang Mingzhi paid most attention to were not far from him. Yes, for the convenience of command, the headquarters was also very close to the front.
The troops operating in their respective operations were equipped with radios, and Vasilyev became the commander of the flank offensive force. The two battalions had a total strength of 1,400 people. They reported their preparations. Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch and it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
The dawn of the morning has arrived, and it's time to take action.
Natasha sucked the index finger of her right hand and stretched it out to estimate the wind, while Star Tao raised her thumb to estimate the distance. The two then adjusted the focus of their rifles. She and Star Tao both held sVT4o, but the difference was that theirs had efficient muzzles.
Depressor.
She said to her sister with some sympathy: "Bessika, the recoil of this gun is very strong, you have to be patient."
"I can't help it. Who told me that my unit was lost in Kuta Town?"
The two girls looked at each other and smiled, aiming their guns at the same target.
On the other side of the battlefield, after the night battle, the German soldiers had been tense. They marched all day yesterday and started building fortifications in the afternoon. They thought they could have a good sleep after finishing the work, but the battle suddenly broke out.
Arrive.
Why did the enemy set up a position when there were only a few hundred people? Is it because of fear?
The soldiers had no choice. They had to carry out Niklaus's order. Even if each of them just wanted to yawn, they had to continue to stay on the position with their eyes open and quietly.
Early in the morning, soldiers from both sides ate some dry food. Yang Mingzhi had already ordered the soldiers to finish their meals, but many German soldiers were still nibbling bread.
In Natasha's lens, the machine gun bunker was surrounded by foxholes. She saw many shaking shadows of German helmets, and there were actually soldiers smoking in the machine gun bunker.
"You Nazis will no longer have to drink or smoke anymore." Natasha said to herself bitterly, waiting for the commander's order.
Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch again. He ordered the soldiers to send orders to each sniper team: "At 7:15, aim at the target and shoot freely!"
In sniper operations, before the whole army attacks, everything is a strategy.
As time passed by, Star Tao and Natasha maintained the basic qualities of snipers - motionless. The only thing that moved was the crosshair of their own muzzles, and the center pointer of the PU sight moved with the enemy's helmet.
The target has been locked.
Finally, the time has come.
Unexpectedly, Yang Mingzhi ordered again, and all the scattered precision shooters shot together.
The volley came suddenly, and the soldiers were ordered to empty a magazine, and three hundred precise bullets were fired at the enemy position.
On a very wide attack surface, the enemy's seven machine gun fortresses were attacked one after another. The unprepared enemies visually observed that their positions were about four to five hundred meters away from the forest. This far distance was the appearance of the enemy, which was just a small dot.
, it is simply luck to still hit when shooting, so they ignored a very important point - what if the enemy has a sniper?
As a result, not only did the Soviet army exist, but there were many of them. These precision shooters, including Natasha, had not experienced sniper system training, and some of them were just tactics that they had figured out on the battlefield.
Accurate bullets cut through the air, and the exposed machine gunners were shot in the head one after another. Helmets were hit and deformed, human tissues were smashed out, and bloody things appeared in the sights of the soldiers.
If one is not enough, two or three will burst out one after another. Even if these precise bullets are fired eight hundred meters away, a highly skilled sniper can still hit the target.
Not only these machine gunners, but soldiers exposed nearby were also targeted.
Because of the abnormality, some people left the foxholes and left their backs to the snipers. Many people were shot in the back of the head, and some even had their cervical vertebrae broken by bullets.
It was only then that no one suddenly reported an enemy attack! The German camp was in a panic. They heard the sound of gunfire, but could not see the light of fire. The bullets must have come from the forest in the distance, but it was really far away.
Upon learning of the enemy attack, Niklaus immediately ordered tanks and assault guns to be on standby, aiming the muzzles in the direction of the forest, and loading explosive bombs. He himself brought a large number of infantry to reinforce the attacked position nodes to guard against the enemy's attack. He believed in himself
The defense is very strong, but given the situation at night, who can guarantee that the enemy will not attack?
This was really the opportunity that Yang Mingzhi had been waiting for. He lay in the forest like a Siberian tiger waiting for prey, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.
The enemy was reinforcing the machine gun fortresses that were under attack. Then there was loud gunfire and they began to fight back. Bullets were fired aimlessly into the forest. Many bullets knocked off pine branches and some smashed into the tree trunks. The soldiers were lying on the ground.
, bullets are not threatening.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, the enemy is shooting blindly, it's our attack time soon!" Yang Mingzhi shouted, and then began to prepare the command rifle.
Yang Mingzhi deliberately asked the enemy to increase its troops, because the sniper attack first killed the enemy's experienced machine gunners, leaving them with two knives. Then, when the artillery started to threaten, these two knives were sent to the sky.
The last remaining ones are probably some ordinary soldiers holding rifles.
Seeing that the time had come, he ordered the messengers to raise their signal guns high, and a green signal flare flew into the sky.
The general attack has begun! (To be continued.) 8
