For example, the fire cover force uses light and heavy machine guns to shoot wildly at high-rise buildings where snipers may be hiding. At the same time, there are snipers hiding in the dark with sniper rifles, waiting for their prey like hunters.
But this has no effect.
This is partly because the Soviet army had made sufficient preparations before this.
That is to say, punching through the compartments of the building, plus the walls of the warehouse are thick and strong, and at the same time condescending, so they are basically immune to the German light and heavy machine guns... No matter how bullets roar outside, the Soviet army can only
You just need to shrink your head and it will be safe.
On the other hand, it was because the German army at this time lacked individual direct-fire artillery such as rocket launchers.
This was actually a gap in German firepower.
Obviously, the mortar's trajectory is too curved to penetrate the building, and it is almost useless in this situation.
Although light and heavy machine guns are direct-fire weapons, bullets are powerless against solid walls. Even if they penetrate a building through doors or windows, the bullets will not explode and therefore cannot pose a threat to targets inside the building.
At this time, there should be a piece of equipment that can drive shells or bombs into the building, so that it can pose a threat to the snipers in the building.
It’s not that the German army doesn’t have this kind of equipment, such as tanks and assault guns. The problem is that sometimes it’s difficult for tanks and assault guns to provide reinforcements quickly, so the German army needs rocket launchers.
Fortunately, the German army at this time did not.
As a result, Soviet snipers could easily deal with German firepower.
Snipers would poke their heads out from time to time and kill German machine gunners and others. The only threat to them was the German snipers hiding in the dark.
But this also happens to be an opportunity for them to train.
The German armored company was divided into four parts to attack from two main entrances and two side entrances.
The coordination between them was also in place. The tanks at the front entrance were slower... Actually, it was not that the tanks were slower, but that the Germans deliberately slowed down to allow the armored troops attacking the side entrance to enter the warehouse first.
This can be said to be a strategy of the German army.
If the troops in the non-main attack direction enter the target first to carry out a wave of strikes and attract most of the enemy's firepower, the main attack direction can exert greater combat effectiveness. Especially Captain Orff knows that the enemy is likely to have a rocket launcher... He does not want the enemy's rocket launcher to be launched.
Come up and kill the only two tanks in the armored company.
"Three rows, four rows!" Orff ordered through the intercom: "Pay attention to the enemy's rocket launchers, don't worry about the ammunition, and suppress the enemy after entering the target!"
"Yes, Captain!"
What Orff said here by "paying attention to the enemy's rocket launchers" does not mean that the third and fourth rows should be careful of the enemy's rocket launchers, but that they should try to attract the target of the enemy's rocket launchers to themselves and attack from the flanks any potential attack on the frontal main attack.
Position poses a threat to the enemy rocket launcher shooter.
This is what Orff meant by "suppressing the enemy."
This sounds a bit cruel, requiring subordinates to sacrifice themselves to save others.
But the battlefield is sometimes so realistic. If the enemy has a rocket launcher and if a few armored vehicles must be lost, then one thing is certain, it will be much more cost-effective to replace the armored vehicle with a tank, even though it is a "No. 2" tank.
With a "boom" sound, two armored platoons rushed into the warehouse from the east and west doors respectively.
Just as Lieutenant Orff ordered, these two armored platoons were not stingy with their ammunition, and started firing randomly as soon as they entered the warehouse.
The difference between the German armored vehicle and the German armored vehicle is that the former focuses more on firepower and is equipped with a 0MM machine gun and an MG4 machine gun.
The latter pays more attention to communications. It canceled the 0MM machine gun and retained the MG4 machine gun, and then installed radio equipment and antennas.
Therefore, the German armored forces often mix large-type armored vehicles and large-type armored vehicles in platoon-level units, so that they can take into account both firepower and communications.
However, no matter which type they are, several armored vehicles are equipped with machine guns and cannons, and their firepower is also very powerful.
In particular, the German soldiers were well-trained. As soon as several armored vehicles rushed into the warehouse, they fired wildly at the possible hiding places in the warehouse. Then, the half-track vehicles followed closely, and then another group of German soldiers jumped out.
Infantry deployed behind them to provide guidance and cover.
The advantage of armored vehicles is that their external perception capabilities are much better than tanks. Soldiers hiding in them can see a larger range and hear external sounds, so they are not highly dependent on infantry. They can even move around flexibly and quickly.
Maneuver within the warehouse or change angles to attack the enemy.
As a result, there were bursts of violent gunfire, boxes, sandbags, etc. in the warehouse were beaten to pieces and scattered everywhere, and the wreckage of the tank made a "clinking" sound like exploding beans.
After fighting for a while, the platoon leader in charge of the third platoon and the fourth platoon reported to Second Lieutenant Orff: "Safe!"
In fact, not only was it safe, they did not find an enemy at all, and there was no resistance at all.
But the Germans did not suspect this.
On the one hand, this is because they in the armored vehicle thought that the enemy might be wiped out instantly without them noticing.
After all, the target is a sniper. If the sniper is hiding in the debris, it is normal for him to be killed in the debris with a row of bullets and not be discovered for a while.
On the other hand, it was Lieutenant Orff's order... "Pay attention to the rocket launcher."
So they were nervously looking for or worrying about the enemy's rocket launchers, because they knew that in this case only the rocket launchers would pose a threat to them.
In fact, Shulka has not considered rocket launchers.
But it is difficult for the rocket launcher to block the enemy's attack under such circumstances.
The reason is that the rocket launcher will expose itself when it is fired... It is a shoulder-carrying thing, like a cannon, and half of the body is exposed. No matter where you hide, you will be discovered by the enemy immediately and will immediately attract a row of bullets.
Therefore, the rocket launcher is more suitable for the moment when the enemy is suppressed by firepower, or on a chaotic battlefield.
Using it at this time is almost courting death.
Then, Second Lieutenant Orff personally commanded two tank detachments, the 1st and 2nd platoons, to break into the warehouse.
He immediately noticed the German corpses scattered in the warehouse, so he reported to Major Paul through the walkie-talkie: "They are all dead, they killed them before we came in!"
"Go to hell!" After hearing this, Major Paul hit the armored vehicle with his fist, and then ordered: "Kill them all!"
"Yes, Major!"
But what Major Paul and Captain Orff didn't know was that what they needed to worry about was not the wounded at all, nor was it the killing of all the enemies.
What they have to worry about is themselves. (To be continued)
