Recommend a book from a friend: "Secret War Without Trace" by Chang Feng, a spy war novel... Chang Feng Shen was originally into war, but recently he became obsessed with espionage wars.
***********
The tin can clanged, immediately revealing the position of the German soldiers, and as expected, several more grenades flew over their heads.
Occasionally, a few German soldiers broke through the blockade of heavy grenades and mortar barrages and continued to advance, but they were soon knocked to the ground with a few gunshots.
Soviet soldiers were waiting for them in individual bunkers.
This is another arrangement of Shulka... After entering the cemetery, everyone will assume that the opponent will use the tombstone as a bunker, because it is a natural bunker.
But this is not the case.
If you dig a bunker between two tombstones and hide in a carefully disguised submachine gunner... In fact, you don't need to be too "careful". You just need to paint your face black and use a black rag to make a cloak. A steel helmet and a backpack on the back are enough, and then you lie down in the individual soldier's bunker, and it immediately merges with the ground. Even if there are flares in the sky, you may not be able to find a person lying there.
In fact, quite a few of these submachine gunners are snipers.
The reason is that they are better at camouflage and more patient. The only difference from before is that they replaced the rifles in their hands with submachine guns... Snipers do not mean to use long-range sniper rifles at all times. For example, at this time, long-range rifles It is almost ineffective, but submachine guns have the characteristics of large ammunition capacity and high sustained firepower. If you are stubborn and still choose a sniper rifle, you will risk your life.
Of course, the German soldiers did not know these arrangements, so they could almost be said to have jumped towards the muzzle of the gun without realizing it.
However, there are also some surprises.
Because there are many tombstones in all directions, and the German soldiers move very quickly, sometimes even if the sniper is staring at the front in the individual bunker, he has no time to react... In this case, the German soldiers did not find the sniper. What the German soldiers wanted to do was He jumped forward quickly, and unexpectedly fell into the air and fell into a single soldier's bunker.
Both the enemy and ourselves seemed to realize what was happening at that moment.
From this point, we can also see the military quality of the German soldiers. If ordinary people fell down inexplicably like this, they would be confused for a long time, but the German soldiers could at that moment React immediately.
It was normal for the Soviet soldiers to respond promptly.
Firstly, he was a sniper, so his reaction speed should have been faster. Secondly, he lay on the ground and "waited for the rabbit". Although it was an accident, he could quickly figure out what was going on.
So the two immediately rolled and struggled with each other.
Accidents like this are rare, but most of them are won by Soviet soldiers. The reason is that their military spurs are placed within easy reach. If you touch them in the dark, you will have something that can kill the enemy. A deadly weapon.
In close combat, neither rifle nor submachine gun is of use, all that is missing is a spur.
Lieutenant Colonel Edmond realized that the situation was not optimistic, so he quickly called the tank through the radio: "Do something, don't stay there like a fool!"
The tanks really stayed in the middle of the road like a few fools, because they couldn't tell which of the figures shaking among the tombstones were the enemy and which were their own.
But they also have to do something under orders.
Several rounds of illumination flares rose into the air, and after a while they vaguely discovered several targets... grenades were thrown out from those locations.
So after giving the order, the machine gun fired at the suspicious location with a "click, click, click" sound.
However, they soon discovered that the machine gun did not work at all. Most of the bullets were blocked by other tombstones. There were very few bullets that could hit the target tombstone, let alone the people hiding behind it.
Then the tank gun fired the shell with a "bang"... but it was at least twenty meters away from the target.
This is not because the gunner is incompetent, but it is quite good that tanks in this era can achieve this accuracy in night battles. What's more, the target is among a group of almost identical tombstones. No matter how you look at it, they all look the same. Just now, you knew the target location in the blink of an eye.
Lost.
This situation made Edmond furious. He was not a tank soldier, so he did not know the difficulties of tanks very well.
"You bastards!" Edmund roared: "You are wasting cannonballs, understand? They are only two hundred meters away, two hundred meters away!"
Of course, this was not the time for the tanks to defend themselves. They hurriedly adjusted their elements to aim at the target again.
But soon they would no longer have such an opportunity.
Because several rocket launchers suddenly appeared from behind the tombstones on both sides. They aimed at the tank briefly, then pulled the trigger... and with a few "chirps", the rockets flew towards the tank one after another.
These rocket launcher shooters were actually ambushed on both sides of the road early in the morning.
Compared with the sniper's individual bunker, the rocket launcher shooter's ambush is much more secretive.
In fact, they were hiding in the coffin: digging down the grave, making an opening in the coffin, dragging the body out and getting in, adding a cover on the outside and covering it with soil to camouflage it... Even if the German soldiers stepped on it
I couldn't find anything up there.
Andrianka had some opinions on this: "Isn't this a bit..."
"What's wrong?" Mikhailovich said: "Disrespecting the dead? That's your fault, Comrade Andrianka. If you don't do this, we may become dead, and we will still be fresh dead.
Should they respect us more?"
"Don't worry about this!" Akimovich said: "We are doing this to drive the invaders out and to defend Stalingrad and our motherland, so they can understand!"
So this is no longer a problem. In fact, it was not a problem in the first place.
It is understandable to care about these circumstances in times of peace, but in times of war, especially in Stalingrad, a place where thousands of people died every day, only a relatively emotional person like Andrianka would care about this.
The rocket launcher shooters had been hiding in it waiting for the opportunity. It was not until Shulka gave an order over the phone that they pushed open the lid and emerged from the coffin to launch a surprise attack on the tank in the middle of the road.
The Germans never thought that these rocket launcher shooters would emerge from the ground and suddenly appear in front of them.
Before they could react, the rockets were heading straight for the tanks.
Just hearing a burst of "boom", several tanks were destroyed on the spot and burst into flames. One of the tanks exploded, causing the surrounding German soldiers to flee and become a mess.
The Soviet army then threw several more grenades, causing the German army to watch helplessly as they fled into the darkness amidst the explosions.
