Chapter 611 Armor Company
The second thing Major Paul did was to add an armored company to the main force.
Major General Jonas agreed without even thinking about it, mainly because the frontal battle went very smoothly, and the main force was more than enough to deal with the enemy's rout. The rear can't move without something to do.
Major Paul's request was just enough to allow one of the armored companies to find a "way out".
The German army moved very quickly, and after only ten minutes, an armored company was transferred to the warehouse and put under the command of Major Paul.
The 7th Light Armored Company of the 179th Regiment was transferred.
The German army is generally composed of two armored vehicles in the company headquarters, and the bottom is divided into four rows, with four to five tanks or armored vehicles in each row, that is, an armored company has about 20 armored vehicles or tanks.
But until now, the German armored units are usually not full, and some armored units even use half-track vehicles to make up the number.
This is the case with the 7th Light Armored Company. It has only 3 "No. 2" light tanks, 8 Type 222 and Type 223 armored vehicles, and 7 Type 251 half-track vehicles.
This is obviously the configuration of an armored reconnaissance company. Armored vehicles and half-track vehicles carry soldiers forward for reconnaissance, and tanks are responsible for providing fire assistance.
Major Paul was very satisfied with the reinforcement speed of this armored company. Captain Orff, the commander of the armored company he admired, nodded, and then spread out the map: "The situation is like this, this building is full of enemy soldiers." Sniper, we have dozens trapped in the warehouse!"
"Do you want us to rescue them?" Captain Orff asked.
"You can say yes, or you can say no!" Major Paul replied: "I hope you defeat them. You know, the other party is a sniper!"
Captain Orff understood what Major Paul meant.
The natural enemy of a sniper is an armored vehicle, because the armored vehicle moves quickly and its armor can make the opponent's rifle powerless.
"As for the soldiers trapped in it!" Major Paul said, "I just want you and your men to be careful not to accidentally hurt your own people. If you defeat the enemy and gain control, they will be saved, understand?"
"Understood, Major!" Captain Orff replied.
Captain Orff is very confident in this mission, because he often encountered situations like the present one when performing reconnaissance missions before, and he can handle it easily every time, and I believe this time is no exception.
What Captain Orff didn't expect was that the deployment of German troops was actually in the eyes of the Soviet army... The Soviet army was in the building, condescending and could easily observe the deployment of the German army below, and even a few armored vehicles were assigned to the Which exit is clear.
"A tank, two armored vehicles, and three half-track vehicles at Gate No. 1!"
"Two armored vehicles at Gate No. 3..."
The communications soldiers gathered the information one by one and then communicated it to various parts by phone.
After being silent for a while, Shulka ordered: "Do it!"
"Do it!"
"Do it!"
…
The order came down in a voice.
The gunshots rang out in the next second, which was mainly aimed at the German troops trapped in the warehouse.
At this time, the German army's offensive plan was ready to be launched, which meant that the strategy of the Soviet army to encircle and attack reinforcements had succeeded, so the trapped German troops lost their value.
The first to bear the brunt was the adjutant who had always wanted to die. Vasily gave a very straightforward shot, and the adjutant collapsed on the ground with his head tilted... This may also be said to be Vasily's kindness to him. This adjutant has already endured After suffering so much, I am finally free.
The beleaguered troops of the German army quickly became chaotic.
If they were suppressed by Soviet snipers before or hoped that reinforcements would rush in to save them soon so they dared not act rashly, now they have realized that the enemy is going to kill them, so they all raised their guns to fight back.
But there is no doubt that their counterattacks are just random shooting, which cannot pose a threat to Soviet snipers at all.
Several German soldiers who were not seriously injured saw the situation, turned around at this time and ran towards the gate with all their strength...
However, with a few "bang bang" gunshots, they quickly fell to the ground.
One of the German soldiers was still alive, dragging blood on the ground and crawling towards the door, as if he wanted to escape from this terrible place before he died.
This kind of horror is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Soldiers have seen death and felt death, so death is nothing to them.
But it is this feeling of being locked by the enemy and walking on the verge of death that makes people feel chills from the heart.
This is also the reason why several German soldiers, like the adjutant, couldn't bear to understand themselves.
The gunshots in the warehouse quickly attracted the attention of Major Paul.
Paul raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the warehouse, and then ordered Orff: "Captain, it's time for you to attack! Get rid of those sons of bitches! All of them!"
"Yes, Major!" Orff responded, then grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Attention all units, act according to the plan! Kill them and avenge our people!"
What Paul and Orff don't know is exactly what Shulka wants.
Shuerka chose to attack the besieged German army at this time. In addition to their useless value, another meaning was to force the German army to attack without sufficient preparation.
In addition, the mortar gunners of the Soviet army and the snipers deployed upstairs also took action, and the bullets accurately knocked down the German soldiers who were not hiding well, and the artillery shells were aimed at the German soldiers one after another. The gathering place exploded randomly, and some shells even directly hit a half-track vehicle and blew up a group of German soldiers preparing to attack on it to the sky.
"Let's go!" Orff ordered loudly into the walkie-talkie on the half-track vehicle.
Apparently the mortars also put some pressure on him, because only halftracks are safer to move, including armored vehicles too... otherwise they are more likely to be hit by artillery shells when they are parked, and their weak top armor is not enough Block this attack.
With a sound of "long", more than a dozen tanks, armored vehicles and half-track vehicles drove towards the warehouse amidst the sound of motors.
The main direction of the German attack is obviously the front, because they arranged two light tanks at the two warehouse doors on the front, and only armored vehicles in other directions.
Immediately after these tanks and armored vehicles are half-track vehicles full of soldiers.
Further on, there are teams of soldiers organized by Major Paul.
Obviously, when this group of steel monsters rushed into the warehouse, they would rely on their armor protection and firepower to fight Soviet snipers at close quarters.
At that time, the Soviet snipers would have no advantage at all, and it seemed that there was only one option to raise their hands and surrender.
