The five field guns fired one after another, and on average one shell fell on the enemy's position every twelve seconds.
This kind of firepower density is already very high, including Wolfe himself, who has to lie down in the trench and resign himself to fate like ordinary soldiers. Artillery shells don't have long eyes. He knows that the enemy is about to attack when the artillery fire is ready, but when will this artillery fire end?
Son?!
"This group of Russians have always relied on artillery in battles, and then the infantry charged with bayonets. But how could they deploy the artillery in a short period of time and still hit me accurately?" Wolfe was puzzled.
In military education, the maneuverability of Russian artillery has always been very poor.
Their artillery is very powerful, but it takes a lot of time to set up positions. In addition, careful mathematical calculations and multiple gun tests are required to determine the target.
However, the accuracy of the artillery fire of the 284th Division was not only due to the fact that Doronin was an experienced artilleryman, but also due to Balzen's frontline observation. The frontline observation and real-time guidance of the artillery to correct the various elements. And Doronin also relied on Yang Mingzhi's observation in a few months.
Inspired by the previously established "coordinate warning", coordinates were immediately drawn around its artillery positions, resulting in very rapid angle corrections.
The bombardment will last for half an hour, and each cannon will fire thirty rounds. Doronin has not enjoyed this kind of luxurious firepower for a long time, but he also knows that such a frequent rate of fire does great damage to the gun barrel, and the most fatal
Yes, the ammunition will be used up. He had to worry: "The deputy division commander is so generous. This artillery preparation is really a waste of ammunition! These artillery can still be used in the future!"
Taking advantage of the loud noise of the artillery fire, Yevlov knew that he had to make use of the sound of the artillery fire, which could perfectly cover up the chirping sound of the tank tracks.
"Everyone adopts a combat formation, just like what you train on weekdays! Female soldiers are not allowed to be timid, we are about to attack!" Yevlov ordered the troops with a pistol in hand. He could see that some women were jumping up and down in the distance.
The huge smoke and dust raised caused an obvious look of fear. Yes, it was the first time for these female soldiers to participate in the war, and they fought the most brutal battle for the first time. You can imagine their mood.
Three of the four main attacking battalions were in an inverted triangle formation, and then the base company was in an inverted triangle formation again. The last battalion temporarily stayed in the forest as a tactical reserve team, and the recoilless rifle team also moved into the forest with their weapons and ammunition.
edge.
The natural environment of Belarus is very much like the mountains and forests of the Far East. Yevlov has already stood at the edge of the forest. Not far away is the German position that is being bombarded! The hot wind from the explosion blows on the ground, and the soldiers arrive at the offensive position one after another and witness these amazing things.
scene.
Yevlov looked at his watch, and the time passed by minute by minute.
"Faced with such a bombardment, your defense line should be broken! Maybe I can win this time without losing many people." Yevlov continued to wait and see, and his inner confidence became stronger and stronger.
Chekhov's tanks are moving towards their respective positions, and they are the core of the attack.
As the commander of the vehicle, Chekov himself exposed half of his body on the turret, holding a telescope and staring at the dynamics of the enemy's position. "They are hiding very well, and such shelling may not necessarily hit them hard." After talking to himself, he immediately
Ordered the crew of this vehicle: "Everyone, be careful. The enemy is also equipped with RPGs. If you are hit by this thing, you will be doomed."
The armor of the bt tank is too thin. According to the standards of later generations, it can hardly be used in battle. It can only be used as a tractor. Now these three tanks are indeed powerful offensive weapons.
Half an hour is not long, nor is it short. For the German soldiers in adversity, this half hour is simply a nightmare!
The shelling stopped suddenly, and people began to get up from the mounds of soil.
Wolfe's head was very dizzy, and the guards peeled off the dirt from his body. He also dug out his hat from the dirt and put it on his head.
"Now that the enemy's artillery preparations are over, they will definitely..." Before the order could be finished, he heard the sound of artillery fire again.
The recoilless rifle group at the edge of the forest opened fire at the same time, suddenly forming clouds of gunpowder smoke, and the shells hit the German position. Like a seventeen-year-old cicada, the German army crawled out of the soil and was hit head-on again, and they encountered the enemy directly south of their position.
Equivalent to a flat cannon strike.
There was a huge amount of smoke coming out of the forest just five hundred meters away. They were like smoke bombs.
The time was up, and Yevlov stood up, holding his pistol high, standing like a statue.
"Davarish! Ulla!"
Suddenly, the sounds of hurrahs began one after another. The German troops, who had been tortured by the artillery fire, were still in shock, and now they had to invest in blocking the attack.
A large number of Soviet soldiers were running wildly holding the weapons they stabbed last time, and a shocking three tanks actually got out. This situation was completely beyond Wolfe's expectation, "The Russians still have tanks?!"
Chekov's three tanks were in the middle of the attack wave, with submachine gunners on the left and right. On the turret, there was also a machine gunner, plus the tank's own machine gun, these automatic firepower alone formed a powerful
firepower network.
However, the Germans were also very resolute in their resistance. Many of them were killed. Other soldiers immediately pushed away the bodies and continued to block the attack with machine guns in their hands.
Many data soldiers were hit as a result, and the soldiers who followed had no time to take care of the dead and wounded, so Ula's charge continued.
"Artillery! Keep bombing!" Yevlov, who stayed in the forest, continued to order each recoilless gun group.
These team members had to ask: "Comrade division commander, the elevation angle of our artillery fire is very small, so that we can hit the enemy. Do our soldiers have to stare at our artillery fire before advancing?"
"That's right! We can't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"
Yevlov was ruthless at the moment. He knew that if he hesitated now, more people would pay with their lives for this hesitation.
Wolfe was surprised to find that smoke was still coming from the forest, but an explosion occurred a second later. The defense line due to the north was attacked by artillery fire, and an infantry battalion suffered heavy losses.
"Damn it! Second Battalion! Third Battalion! Go and support the First Battalion!" Wolfe immediately ordered, and the German army began to move, trying its best to block Yevlov's onslaught.
The German RPG fighters began to fire missiles, and Chekov couldn't help but feel terrified when he saw these weapons.
"Damn! My armor is too thin! If you are hit by this thing, you will die immediately!" Knowing that there is huge danger in advancing, we must continue. Chekov deserves to bite the bullet, because there is a column behind the tank.
Where's the infantry platoon? He can only pray that the enemy's RPGs don't hit him.
At this time, Yevlov was also very nervous. Suddenly, a BT tank exploded and caught fire! It didn't cause a fatal explosion at all, and prevented the entire platoon behind him from being wiped out.
"Damn! Got hit!"
Yevlov gritted his teeth. Even after the shelling, their firepower was still very powerful. A total of three tanks were blown up by RPGs. If the enemy hits accurately, all the tank troops will be wiped out soon! (To be continued)
