Four hundred and twentieth chapters super fire resistance
Hoffman's entire regiment began to take action, with three main battalions lined up in a full-scale attack, and other troops responsible for logistics and special operations followed the regiment.
For Hoffmann, he attacked Homnich a few months ago to block the enemy's attack, but the city was not captured. That battle was an eternal shadow in his military career. This time he also attacked the enemy's camp. They built
Fortifications, this battle is destined to be a tough battle.
The new recruits in the army do not know the meaning of hard fighting, which is the bloodiest thing. Each company may suffer serious attrition. Even if the army must attack, it does not mean that it is not desperate just because the enemy has a strong fighting capacity.
Balzen led his men on a wild run, and they were the first to break out of the forest.
The commander of the position, Vasilyev, raised his binoculars and saw soldiers wearing white clothes coming out.
He immediately ordered the people around him: "Don't fire, the reconnaissance company is back."
It is four hundred meters from the forest to the position. A fierce battle took place here just in the early hours of yesterday. The remains of the battlefield are everywhere. Bomb craters, charred remains, and the corpses of German soldiers who had not had time to restrain themselves.
The Soviet army used the positions dug by the Germans to set up defenses. They continued to dig deep trenches and added many more machine gun and recoilless gun positions.
Balzen and his comrades rushed all the way and dived into the trench. He went directly to Vasilyev and gasped: "The enemy will be here soon, and they will kill them within five minutes!"
Upon seeing this, Vasilyev immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle!
The soldiers were wiping their weapons, the recoilless rifles loaded the first shell, and Doronin's artillery not far away also adjusted the muzzle angle, turning these Krupp cannons into flat-firing cannons.
This is the first time for female soldiers to participate in this upright positional battle. No one knows what methods the enemy will use. They are mixed with male soldiers. Joshua is also worried that the cruel battle will cause the female soldiers to collapse first. Only with the men can they
Fight to avoid bad things.
In contrast to the Soviet army's active preparations for war, the German army was running wildly all the way, running like this, as if it could break through the Soviet defense in one breath.
"Everyone, work harder to eliminate the Soviets, and their swamp will be opened. After completing the decisive battle, the final victory will be ours!" Hoffman continued to yell, and more than two thousand people marched in the forest.
For Hoffman, the so-called tactics were the same old ones. The mortars set up positions at the edge of the forest, and the infantry advanced in a skirmish line. Of course, such an attack would cause heavy casualties, but the order was absolute, and everyone must die in battle.
consciousness.
The ground was in a slight position, and some Soviet soldiers put their ears to the ground, aware that the enemy was approaching.
The soldiers checked their weapons and equipment for the last time, and everything was waiting for Vasilyev to make a decision.
Balzen advised him: "Don't shoot immediately when the enemy appears. Let's put them at a distance of 150 meters and then shoot suddenly!"
This is not in line with the general combat principles, but this is what Yang Mingzhi taught Balzen. The so-called troops immerse themselves in their positions first, and the enemy will definitely find no one when they conduct long-distance reconnaissance. When they boldly advance and then attack suddenly, the enemy will definitely panic.
.
Vasilyev felt that it made sense. There were a large number of machine guns on the position, because most of Niklaus's small weapons, which were completely wiped out, remained here. They greatly enhanced the firepower of the Soviet defenders. There were sixty more MG34s, as backup guns.
There are a lot of tubes and plenty of ammunition!
Therefore, the soldiers were asked to hibernate immediately and disguise their positions as empty.
Hoffman's vanguard broke through the forest, but they were stunned for a moment and did not continue to move forward.
There are more and more people on the front line, as if wildebeests are gathering in a group to cross the river. So are there crocodiles in the river? No one knows, until the number of wildebeests increases, they will be bold enough to continue moving forward.
Some German soldiers had no choice but to bravely advance cautiously in a skirmish line, looking around as they walked. They knew too well that the soldiers who acted first often did not survive. These people were prepared to die, and ended up marching for five days.
Ten meters away, there was no obstruction at all.
"They may have abandoned their position and gone back. Let's keep moving forward!" A squad leader greeted the people watching behind him. Upon seeing this, Hoffman did not order the stagnant troops to continue moving forward.
"Those more than a hundred people are the top soldiers, let them test it out, and then we will take full action!" Hoffman ordered the battalion commanders to hold their troops temporarily.
More than a hundred people were advancing. Vasilyev and Balzen did not expect this situation.
"What should we do? Are they going to shoot when they reach 150 meters? The enemy troops haven't come out yet?!" Vasilyev was worried that he might have alerted the enemy.
"Then put them fifty meters or even thirty meters away. We have to wait for the enemy's large forces to appear. These people are meat scouts. We must not be fooled."
It would be a military adventure to start a war when the two armies are extremely close. The Soviet soldiers must execute this order. The number of machine guns among them is extremely large. If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter if the enemy is extremely close. There are more than a hundred general-purpose machine guns. This luxury
The firepower can completely "mow the grass"!
The vanguard soldiers were getting closer and closer, and they had walked 200 meters without being attacked. These people walked past the gray corpses, which were the relics of the previous battle, and every soldier couldn't help but feel nervous.
Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Hoffman waved his hand and the whole group began a general attack.
The mortar position was set up immediately. It would be no problem for more than thirty 50mm mortars to bombard that area. So what if the enemy appeared?
This was both self-confidence and inferiority, because Hoffman saw the field artillery farther away, and no one could be seen there. It would be too bad if they opened fire.
The German army was in full action. They were forming a huge skirmish line. The entire attack was five hundred meters wide and the depth of the attack was also very thick.
These soldiers walked faster and faster, their Mauser rifles already mounted with bayonets, and finally they simply charged while running and howling!
One hundred leading soldiers were only fifty meters away from the position. Vasilyev suddenly appeared. He was also holding an MG34, and the deputy shooter was ready. The blocking battle began with Vasilyev's opening fire.
In an instant, the entire position erupted with powerful firepower. Little did Hoffman know that the position in front of them had as many as 150 machine guns, including German MG34s and Soviet Deggarevs.
The powerful barrage was a complete massacre. The attacking German troops were cut down like grass, and the one hundred leading soldiers were wiped out.
The recoilless rifles aimed at the enemy and opened fire in depth. The Germans did not understand this situation. Only by fighting in small groups could they avoid the range of artillery fire to the greatest extent. Their skirmisher line was a straight line. Even if the teams in depth lay on the ground and set up their positions,
The machine gun fired back, but the shells still caused damage one after another. (To be continued.).
