Chapter 319 Accident
"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 camouflage clearly at night!"
This is true, because everything is bound to have some loopholes, and it is obviously even more difficult to see in the dark.
But Shulka has a different opinion: "This may not be a good thing, if they only use infantry to attack..."
The instructor couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized that this was very capable, because at this time the German army was using infantry to carry out night attacks.
Another unfavorable factor brought about by infantry night raids is that they are likely to expose their camouflage... For example, when they are attacked, their first reaction is to dig individual bunkers. If the engineer shovel digs down more than one meter deep, it will touch the ice.
Another example is that they fired mortars or grenades, and a few trees were blown down without roots.
"Comrade Captain!" Shulka said: "I think we should go out on the defensive, otherwise they will see through the disguise!"
Venyakov quickly figured out the reason, so he immediately ordered: "The first company stays in place, the second company, the third company, follow me!"
Shuerka gave an order and followed with his subordinates.
Before crossing the lake, they ran into a group of black people, startled Shulka and others, and immediately lay down on the ground and raised their guns.
"Don't shoot, your own!" The other party shouted in the dark: "We are from the 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment!"
This made Shulka and others stunned... The first battalion of the 333rd regiment, isn't that your own unit?
Then Shulka quickly understood, without hesitation, he exclaimed: "They are Germans, grenades!"
The soldiers took out the grenade and pulled the string, and then smashed at the group of black shadows, only to blow up the black shadows and howl with ghosts and wolves.
Opposite is indeed the German Branfenburg troops.
Because of being unable to attack for a long time and the armored troops suffered heavy losses, Huot transferred a team of Branfenburg troops from the rear, hoping to tear through the enemy's defense line through night attacks.
Huott's plan is this: the infantry sneaks up an hour before dawn, and then the armored troops follow up. When the armored troops pass through the line of defense, it will be daylight, and it will be a good time for the armored troops to attack with all their strength. The strength keeps up.
Everything was properly deployed, and he even learned through capturing prisoners that the enemy was stationed in Dubosekovo as troops from the 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment.
"It turned out to be the breakout force!" Huot nodded and praised when he heard the designation: "No wonder you can block the attack of the motorized division with only the strength of infantry!"
So, the Branfenburg troops that penetrated into the depths of the defense naturally used the designation of the 1st Battalion of the 333rd Regiment.
What the German army didn't expect was that the first battalion was temporarily withdrawn from the front line and deployed on the second line because of Shulka's new idea. This time, the fake Li Gui collided with the real Li Kui.
After the grenade exploded, Shulka and others charged again, and immediately killed and wounded the group of Branfenburg troops.
Pity the German troops of the Branfenburg troops. After a long period of training, they even learned the living habits of the Russians... they were defeated before they could play a role.
What's even more tragic is that they died without knowing where they made a mistake.
Several German soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, but the soldiers did not hesitate, and simply raised their rifles and shot them at close range.
This is an unwritten rule in the Soviet army. Just as the German army does not accept prisoners of Soviet political workers, the Soviet army also does not accept several types of prisoners.
One of them is the German Branfenburg troops.
On the one hand, it is because the Branfenburg troops made trouble in the Soviet army, which made the Soviet army hate it.
On the other hand, if you accept this kind of German prisoner who is disguised as the Soviet army and can act very similarly on the battlefield, it is likely that they will escape again or even become spies.
This happened before. After being captured, a member of the Branfenburg troops of the German Army followed a group of German prisoners and pushed them back, walking and walking... This member of the Branfenburg naturally began to push and push the German prisoners to become a The Soviet escorts had long since disappeared when they looked for him again.
In this situation, the First Battalion dared not keep members of Branfenburg as prisoners in the dark. Once they escaped and mixed into the army, there would undoubtedly be a big mess.
Stepping forward on a pile of corpses, as soon as they ran to the opposite bank, the soldiers formed a line of defense relying on the terrain.
After waiting for a few more minutes, some rout soldiers retreated one after another in the darkness.
Because of the previous 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 Shulka saw groups of German troops covering each other and leaping forward under the moonlight.
Because the night was very dark, they did not find the Soviet army lying on the ground forming a line of defense.
Venyakov did not speak, and neither did the others.
At this time, Lieutenant Venyakov had no chance to give an order, because any sound might alarm these German troops and make them ready.
But at that moment, all the soldiers knew as if they knew by heart that it was time to bring the enemy closer before fighting... This was a good opportunity for the Soviet army, and they would not let it go easily.
So, they just waited quietly, holding their guns and holding their breath, watching the German army approaching their guns step by step.
This is the quality of a troop after hundreds of battles.
Shulka suddenly realized that the army had grown... He was in it so he didn't notice it, but thinking about it when he was fighting in the Brest Fortress, many people were still scared and hiding, or they couldn't help crying gun shot.
Now, they can calmly face the enemies who are approaching them step by step, although these enemies are much more than their own.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...
It wasn't until the German army came to a distance of 20 meters in front that Venyakov shouted: "Fight!"
Submachine guns and machine guns rang out immediately, and the leading German troops were knocked down in rows on the spot.
At the same time, grenades and mortars also smashed fiercely at the German army.
This is also a kind of coordination, a coordination between infantry and infantry.
To be precise, it is a coordination of infantry weapons. It is mainly used to launch a sudden attack on the enemy to cause instant damage like now.
Submachine guns are responsible for accurate shooting at close range, grenades are responsible for killing large areas at close range, and machine guns and mortars are responsible for killing at a slightly longer distance.
Each of them performed their own responsibilities, so more than half of the German army was killed in an instant, and at this time the German army did not even have time to get down.
Of course, it would be even better if there was an assault rifle at this time. I am afraid that a charge will soon wipe out the German army in the reinforced company in front of us.
But it didn't seem to make much difference, because the Soviet army then rushed forward with a bayonet.
