Chapter 513 Hitting East and West
"Did you know this fight was going to be more dangerous than before?" Shulka asked.
"Of course!" Akimovich replied.
"Then you just missed an opportunity to go back!" Shulka said.
Akimovich was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Captain, I don't want to lose the opportunity to learn by your side... In these few hours, I have learned more than in previous years!"
Shulka didn't speak.
It is a good thing to be willing to learn, the problem is to live first.
The German tanks "rumbled" up, and there were more than a dozen of them...the reason for using large ones was that some tanks were looming in the ruins and remaining buildings in the blind corner of sight, and Shulka could not know their exact location. number.
But these are not important.
The important thing is that Shulka knew that the German army was not prepared for this kind of urban warfare in the ruins, because they were still trying to use tanks to cover infantry to form a straight offensive line to advance forward like in field warfare.
Soon they discovered that this was impossible.
This tactic may work in a much flatter field, and they can even use engineers to cover tanks to occupy the commanding heights.
But in this place full of ruins and broken walls everywhere, the tank quickly became tasteless... Many places were blocked by brick walls, and the tank could not move forward at all. At the same time, the ruins piled up several meters high would block the tank. shot circle.
Soon, half of the dozen or so tanks stopped, and only seven or eight continued to cover the infantry and explore along the narrow streets. In other positions, the German infantry could only leave their tanks and climb and jump forward in the ruins.
Getting closer, getting closer... When the enemy tanks approached the Soviet defense line about 50 meters away, Shulka raised his head towards Andrianka.
Andrianka understood, pulled out the signal flag from his waist and waved it backwards a few times.
"Bang bang..." The first to attack is the snipers hidden in the commanding heights.
Their target is the enemy infantry. Since the snipers are selected soldiers with excellent marksmanship from the army and have undergone a period of training, coupled with the fact that they have already selected their targets from a high position, they will shoot immediately as soon as they shoot. A group of German soldiers were knocked down.
Shulka could even hear the sound of bullets penetrating the German helmets.
Of course, the bullet is not just as simple as penetrating the helmet, it will also hit the target's head immediately, and because the bullet is blocked by the helmet, the kinetic energy is reduced and the direction is changed, it will continue to roll in the head and stir up the brain in the skull It was a mess, like a well-stirred bowl of bean curd with a little tomato sauce.
Of course Shulka doesn't care about these things. For him now, these scenes are already familiar to him, and if he hasn't seen them for a few days, he will feel a little uncomfortable.
"Tanks are always the focus!" Shulka said to Akimosvich beside him: "But if you want to deal with tanks, you must first attract their attention!"
Akimovich was about to ask why, but was interrupted by Shulka.
"You need to observe more instead of asking why!" Shulka said: "Only in this way can you really participate in this battle instead of just watching!"
"Yes, Captain!" Akimovich replied.
The situation on the battlefield quickly changed.
Because the sniper shots exposed their large positions, the Germans fell to the ground for cover and tried to fight back.
But the counterattacks that the German army can make are very limited...
If you use rifles and machine guns to suppress, it is obviously not the opponent of the opponent's sniper.
On the one hand, the mortar is not accurate enough, on the other hand, it is difficult to pose a threat to the target hidden in the building... It is a curved fire gun, which is a top-down attack, that is, it explodes from the roof first.
If it is the Soviet army, then of course they will use the bazooka, which is a direct-firing artillery.
But the German army that has not been equipped with an iron fist has only one choice: tanks.
The German signal soldier hid in the ruins and shouted for a while, and Shulka could even hear his shout clearly.
Then the tanks were mobilized one by one, and they adjusted their muzzles to aim at the target... This process involved the coordination of infantry and tanks, that is, the infantry guided the position of the tanks.
The infantry-tank coordination of the German army is very simple, that is, the infantry machine gun shoots towards the target position. The German gunner observes the landing point of the machine gun bullet and then adjusts the elements, and then shoots a shell towards the position with a "boom".
Of course, the Soviet snipers will not wait for the German bombing at the same place, they have already moved to other positions and even left the building... It is very simple to do this, you only need to leave a trail for yourself on the other side Rope, they can quickly evacuate and transfer to other locations.
And at this moment, with Shulka's order, the Soviet army launched an attack.
First, a batch of grenades are thrown out, no matter whether there are people or not, it is right to throw them tens of meters ahead.
When the German army was scared by the grenade and hid in the bunker to avoid it, the bazooka shooter suddenly appeared.
In order to hit the target tank better and more accurately, some bazooka shooters even stepped out and knelt directly in front of the tank tens of meters away... Although in this case, the attention of the German army, including the tank crew, was temporarily attracted To the other direction, but doing so can still be said to be daring, because this is facing a steel monster with flesh and blood.
And as long as the reaction is slow, the German tank machine gunner adjusts the firing angle and pulls the trigger, and everything is over.
But he actually succeeded.
At the moment when the German machine gun turned, the bazooka shooter pulled the trigger, and the rocket flew straight towards the tank with a "chirp".
Almost at the same time, the bazooka shooter dropped the bazooka and rolled sideways on the spot to avoid a row of oncoming bullets.
Only then did Shulka realize that the bazooka shooter was Valery.
Shulka asked about it after the battle.
Valery replied easily: "Captain, I am not trying to be a hero. I have observed the barrel of the machine gun before!"
Valery said excitedly while demonstrating with the rifle in his hand: "The barrel is facing up, which means that the machine gunner is also attracted by the snipers, so I have enough time!"
Valery is right.
The difference between victory and defeat on the battlefield is often just a small detail, a small mistake.
The German machine gunner made a small mistake: when the gunner bombed the enemy's sniper position, the machine gunner should cover the tank in other directions.
A small mistake can be fatal.
So there was only a loud "boom", and a puff of blue smoke rose from the armor of the tank, and then the smoke became bigger and bigger, and soon flames burst out.
No one opened the hatch and fled. The tank crew inside might have been injured by the high-temperature jet of rockets and screamed inside, but the sound could not be heard through the thick armor.
