In terms of fighting will, Yang Mingzhi admired the German army very much. In previous battles, even if they were second-line troops with low combat effectiveness, their spirit of fighting to the end, even at the risk of dying in battle, was very admirable.
In stark contrast, the Soviet regular troops, who claimed to be able to fight to the last drop of blood for the motherland, still occasionally surrender to the Soviet Union.
His admiration for the enemy was limited to the pure German soldiers. Yang Mingzhi completely despised the puppet soldiers from the Eastern Battalion or the Police Battalion. However, they at least still held guns, numbered as many as 500, and served the German army loyally.
It has to be regarded as a combat force equivalent to the German army.
The battle started at dawn. Yang Mingzhi simply laid out a blanket for himself and slept under a big tree full of green grass.
In the new battle, who will die, who will kill enemies one after another. The paratroopers who have fought real battles have become veterans, and they no longer think about it.
Among the many soldiers, Liu Hongxiu, who had just become a soldier, was full of anxiety.
She boasted that she knew a lot about war, and on the eve of the war, the way she hugged her sister said it all.
Star Tao, who had fallen into confusion, murmured: "Little pepper, don't be afraid... don't be afraid... tomorrow we will kill enemies one after another from a distance..."
Is fighting so easy? Liu Hongxiu was full of complex feelings. However, her body was very tired after a day of marching, and her belly was filled with sweet food, and she quickly fell asleep.
…
No one carefully built beds for themselves. Many soldiers simply made beds on the ground and quilts on the ground, curling up with guns in their hands to sleep.
The dark forest fell into a deathly silence, with the occasional owl roaring, making the forest even more claustrophobic.
Yang Mingzhi was right not to attack at night. There were more than 200 German troops guarding the trenches. In the first half of the night, they were mostly alert, and in the second half of the night, they huddled up and fell asleep.
The air was humid, with some water droplets clinging to the loaded machine gun, and the German machine gunner operating the machine gun was already snoring. The sky was slightly bluer, and the forest was filled with a thin morning mist, making Bainiu Village feel a little trance-like.
The infantry platoons responsible for the reconnaissance took turns to keep watch. It was not until the sky gradually turned blue that the complete appearance of Bainiu Village emerged before their eyes.
At 4:30 in the morning, all the soldiers were woken up. The sky was still dark and the temperature was extremely cold!
Yang Mingzhi patted his cold face and ordered the troops to assemble immediately.
Five o'clock is the time to set off, there is no time to delay! Just before departure, Yang Mingzhi received the most practical information from the scouts.
"Sure enough, the enemy dug trenches and the tanks were still clearly visible! It seems I have to change my tactics a little!"
Yang Mingzhi made temporary adjustments, that is, all anti-tank raiding groups, since the German army did not hide tanks at all, would attack at the same time during mortar attacks.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky turned blue, and the attack began.
The army's offensive structure is still the same, with two paratrooper battalions responsible for the left and right, and the reconnaissance battalion responsible for the center.
Before the full-scale infantry attack, twelve 82mm mortars took the lead in setting up a position in the already sparse woods. The majority of the infantry lay on the ground, waiting for the position to be set up.
Each artillery position was quickly prepared, and all the soldiers were almost crawling forward. Perhaps this was too cautious, at least this method could avoid being discovered in advance by those who got up early.
From the sparse woods to the buildings of Bainiu Village, the nearest distance is 700 meters. Yang Mingzhi held up a high-power telescope and observed it. Sure enough, the German army had built two lines of defense.
"What bad luck! At this time, cloud explosive bombs are used to attack traditional positions like this!" That was all he complained about. Yang Mingzhi knew that he had to fight hard, and there was nothing he could do if he suffered more casualties!
The orders were passed on one after another, and the rocket artillerymen immediately relied on the slight concealment of the tree trunks to set up launchers, and the rocket launchers would shoot directly.
A large number of precision shooters arrived at the edge of the woods before the large troops. They hoped that the grass stuck in the various gaps in their uniforms would perfectly hide their presence. Among these people, Liu Hongxiu was also included.
When all this was completed, it was already half past five, and suddenly, a melodious trumpet sounded!
Yang Mingzhi was shocked!
"Damn it! Why am I still hesitating?!" Yang Mingzhi wanted to observe a little more, but he never thought that the German army blew the wake-up call. "Guards, notify the artillery to open fire!"
In the desperation, Yang Mingzhi's order was too arbitrary. If he knew what the German army would do, he would never order an attack now. Originally, the enemy would line up for handover, and the soldiers resting in the barracks would jump into the trenches, and the trenches would
The German soldiers inside returned to their barracks to have a good rest.
The order has been issued!
Six rocket launcher teams opened fire at the same time. Under the bright yellow muzzle storm, the rockets flew across the sky dragging thick smoke, and hit the target in just two seconds. The German troops in the trenches who had just woken up saw this astonishing scene and could not tolerate them.
If you want to understand, the violent explosion explains everything.
The rocket launchers attacked first, followed by mortars.
The artillery shells that were originally carried by donkeys are now carried by people, and each of the twelve cannons can explode four more boxes. Yang Mingzhi has already risked his life, and there will be a total of 190 82mm mortars, covering Bainiu Village with firepower.
This kind of thunderbolt method will inevitably cause a large number of deaths of prisoners of war, but who cares? The soldiers who fired the cannons didn't care at all. They only considered how many enemies they could destroy by doing so!
Yes, this kind of attack was a blow to the sleepy people. The German soldiers who were dressing in the barracks were completely destroyed, as were a large number of prisoners of war. The luckiest ones were those hiding in the trenches.
Guys, few artillery shells fall into the trenches, and the zigzag trenches also effectively offset the damage caused by artillery shells.
These people lay on the ground, waiting for the artillery fire to end.
But Yang Mingzhi couldn't wait any longer. He fired mortars at a rate of one every ten seconds. They fired eight rounds, and the order for an all-out attack was officially issued.
"Comrades! Hurrah!" Yang Mingzhi held the gun sand high. In people's eyes, he was the immortal god of war, inspiring everyone to charge.
The morale of the Soviet army was extremely high, artillery fire was still bombarding, and the Soviet army's general offensive had begun.
The mortar can explode for another forty seconds. This forty seconds is enough time for soldiers to cover a long distance. Once the distance is enough, the German defense line will be easily destroyed.
While charging with firepower, the German army was still in chaos when the enemy came over. The sound of Ula was so harsh that the soldiers trapped in the trenches risked their heads to lean out, and the machine gunners leaned out instinctively.
The German army began to block the attack, and when the machine guns opened fire, the first casualties of the Soviet army began to appear.
The battle has begun, and Yang Mingzhi, who is leading the charge, doesn't care about anything. He has his own destiny, while the others have nothing but sex.
The German MG34 only carried 75 rounds of ammunition. In this state, soldiers could not shoot well. These machine guns fired at high speeds, and the bullets were quickly burned out. The dew on the barrel not only quickly dampened the air valve, but was also so hot that it could be grilled. When the shooter
When it was time to urgently change the drum, the Soviet troops had already rushed in front of them.
The wooden stakes and barbed wire originally deployed had long been blown to pieces. Now the Soviet infantry had rushed to the trenches, and the German first line of defense was declared lost.
