"This is a good thing!" The instructor lying next to Shulka looked into the darkness with a pistol and said, "They can't see the disguise clearly at night!"
This is indeed true, because everything will inevitably have some holes, and it is obviously not easy to see them at night.
However, Shulka had a different opinion: "This may not be a good thing, if they only use infantry to attack..."
The instructor was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that this was very effective, because at this time the German army was using infantry to conduct night attacks.
Another disadvantage of infantry night attacks is that they are likely to reveal their disguise... For example, when they are attacked, their first reaction is to dig individual bunkers. If the engineer's shovel digs more than one meter deep, it will hit the ice.
.
Another example is that they fired a burst of mortars or grenades, and several trees were blown down, and there were still no roots.
"Comrade Captain!" Shulka said: "I think we should go forward to defend, otherwise they will see through the disguise!"
Venyakov quickly figured out the reason, so he immediately ordered: "Stand where you are, the first company, the second company, the third company, follow me!"
Shulka gave the order and followed with his men.
Before crossing the lake, they encountered a group of dark people. Shulka and others were startled and they immediately fell to the ground and raised their guns.
"Don't shoot, we're on our own!" the other party shouted in the darkness: "We are from the 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment!"
This made Shulka and others stunned... The 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment, isn't that our own unit?
Then Shulka soon understood and without hesitation shouted: "They are Germans, grenades!"
The soldiers took out their grenades, pulled the strings, and smashed them at the group of black figures, causing the black figures to scream in agony.
Opposite is indeed the German Branfenburg troops.
Because the attack could not be held for a long time and the armored troops suffered heavy losses, Hoth transferred a group of Branfenburg troops from the rear in the hope of tearing open the enemy's defense line through a night attack.
Holt's plan was as follows: the infantry would make a sneak attack one hour before dawn, and then the armored troops would follow up. When the armored troops passed the defense line, it would already be dark, and it would be a good time for the armored troops to attack with all their strength.
The strength will keep up.
Everything was arranged properly, and he even learned through capturing prisoners that the enemy's troops stationed in Dubosekovo were the 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment.
"So it's the breakout force!" Huo Te nodded and praised when he heard this number: "No wonder it can block the attack of the motorized division with only the strength of infantry!"
Therefore, the Branfenburg troops who penetrated deep into the defense naturally adopted the designation of the 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment.
What the Germans didn't expect was that the first battalion was temporarily removed from the front line and deployed on the second line because of Shurka's new idea. This time, the fake Li Gui collided with the real Li Kui.
After the grenade exploded, Shulka and others charged again, immediately killing and wounding the group of Branfenburg troops.
Pity these German troops of the Branfenburg troops. After long-term training, they even learned the living habits of the Russians... They were defeated before they had time to play their role.
What's even more tragic is that they don't know where they made a mistake even before they die.
Several German soldiers raised their hands to surrender, but the soldiers showed no mercy and simply raised their rifles to shoot them at close range.
This is an unwritten rule in the Soviet army. Just like the German army did not accept prisoners of Soviet political workers, the Soviet army also did not accept prisoners of several types.
One of them was the German Branffenburg Army.
On the one hand, this was because the Soviet army hated the Branfenburg troops for causing trouble among the Soviet army.
On the other hand, if you accept prisoners of war who are disguised as Soviet soldiers and can act very similar to German soldiers on the battlefield, it is very likely that they will escape again or even become spies.
This happened before. After being captured, a member of the German Branfenburg troops was escorted back by a group of German prisoners. As they walked... the Branfenburg member naturally began to push the German prisoners and became a group of prisoners.
A Soviet escort had long since disappeared when we looked for him again.
Under the current circumstances, the battalion would not dare to keep the Branfenburg members as prisoners in the dark. Once they were allowed to escape and join the army, there would undoubtedly be big trouble.
Stepping on a pile of corpses, the soldiers formed a line of defense based on the terrain as soon as they reached the other side.
After waiting for a few more minutes, some broken troops retreated one after another in the darkness.
Because of his last experience, the first thing Venyakov did was to disarm them all and take them to the rear for careful screening.
However, not many people escaped, and soon Shurka saw groups of German troops covering each other and leaping forward under the moonlight.
Because the night was dark, they did not notice the Soviet troops lying on the ground forming a defensive line.
Venyakov said nothing, and neither did anyone else.
At this time, Captain Venyakov had no chance to give an order, because any noise might alert these German troops and make them prepare.
But at that moment, all the soldiers knew by heart that they should move the enemy closer before fighting... This was a good opportunity for the Soviet army, and they would not let it go easily.
So, they waited quietly, holding their guns and holding their breath, watching the German army step by step closer to their guns.
This is the quality of an army that has experienced hundreds of battles.
Shulka suddenly realized that the army had grown... He was among them so he didn't notice it, but when he thought about the battle at the Brest Fortress, many people were so scared that they were hiding in hiding, or they were so nervous that they couldn't help but
Shoot.
Now, they can calmly face the enemies coming towards them step by step, even though these enemies are much more numerous than themselves.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...
It wasn't until the German army reached a distance of twenty meters in front of him that Veniakov shouted: "Hit!"
Submachine guns and machine guns started firing immediately, and the first few groups of German soldiers were knocked down on the spot.
At the same time, grenades and mortars also hit the German troops fiercely.
This is also a kind of coordination, a coordination between infantry and infantry.
To be precise, it is a kind of coordination of infantry weapons. It is mainly used to launch sudden attacks on the enemy to cause instantaneous damage like now.
Submachine guns are responsible for precise shooting at close range, grenades are responsible for killing large areas at close range, and machine guns and mortars are responsible for killing damage at a slightly longer distance.
Everyone did their part, and more than half of the German troops were killed in an instant, and at this time the German troops did not even have time to lie down.
Of course, it would be better if there were assault rifles at this time. A burst of charge would quickly annihilate the German troops in the reinforced company in front of them.
But it didn't seem to make much difference, because the Soviet army then shouted and charged forward with bayonets drawn.
