Steel Soviet Union

The company mate next to him was muttering and complaining, but Alsim didn't take it seriously at all. He looked around and occasionally leaned down to play with the German corpses on the ground. Those who were suspected of not being dead had to be kicked twice. ReadМ

"Hey! Alsim, are you listening to me?"

Apparently, the company commander, who had known Alsim for a long time and who usually treated him more like a brother than a superior, was very dissatisfied with the stinky look on his face.

"If it doesn't matter, you idiot. We're still standing here, and this is the result. There's a Kraut lying on the ground. This is the best result. Is there anything better than this? The answer is no. "

""

Alsim's still expressionless answer really made the company deputy comrade choke. But if you think about it carefully, you can't refute what this guy said is right.

There are no ifs on the battlefield. If that is an argument left to the losers, the winner who laughs at the end will not talk about it.

Come to think of it, this crazy guy Alsim always dares to make the most incomprehensible and unexpected decisions at seemingly the worst possible times. This has been the case since the beginning of the war with the Finnish ghost. The company officer who has been Alsim's soldier since then remembers this very clearly. At that time, he thought that he would even die at the hands of this crazy squad leader. Bet on it.

Of course, the result is naturally no, it is just the opposite, so I can live until now.

"You lunatic, I have nothing to say to you."

He muttered something casually and pretended to find the steps for himself, but Alsim was still squatting on the ground nonchalantly, fiddling with the items that had been knocked to the ground and most of them were too damaged to be used. Kraut equipment.

"No wonder these bastards are hiding in this pit. This is a mortar ring fortification. All the surrounding trenches and small positions rely on this poor place for fire support. No wonder the Germans have arranged such strong firepower here."

The several mortars that were overturned to the ground and even the gun mounts flew out answered Alsim's doubts. This was the reason why the Germans occupied this hole and refused to retreat.

The direct fire mortars in the pit are the few remaining backbone firepower that the German troops can rely on. Under the powerful direct fire bombardment of the Red Army, any direct fire points on the German side are absolutely gone. Only these are extremely concealed. , a mortar with a curved trajectory can survive and continue fighting.

If the already fragmented position loses this ring-shaped mortar pit that can flexibly support the surrounding area, it will be like doom for the remaining Germans in the surrounding area. If they don't die, they will be cut into the flesh with a knife. It is nothing more than the speed of death. thing.

However, this can also illustrate another issue from the side.

Such important core firepower fortifications have been captured, which means that after this, that is, the German defense further ahead of Alsim Company's offensive has no roots.

"Check the weapons and keep moving forward! Fasis has only one breath left. Everyone cheer up, let's keep fighting!"

Alsim, who has a low education level and is only slightly better than an illiterate, cannot give impassioned and inspiring words like his comrade. His biggest characteristic is that he says whatever he wants. This may sound a bit untrue, but the soldiers under his command are used to following such a company commander who talks less and does more. Alsim has already used his own Strength wins trust.

The Red Army soldiers with steel guns in hand took a short rest in the pit, checked their weapons and ammunition, and soon followed Alsim on the road again, continuing to attack along an exit trench that connected the circular mortar fortification. Go up.

And on the other side, behind these brave and fearless Red Army soldiers.

The steel behemoths of the Red Army did not just sit there and do nothing. Instead, they closely followed the advancing pace of their own infantry, roaring into the position with their heavy steel bodies in a methodical rhythm. To crush all the trenches that had been conquered and the German corpses lying in front of them, there was only one thing that needed to be done: to keep up with the synchronization and cover the infantry with direct-aimed heavy firepower.

Just like the scene just before breaking into the position, any German soldier who is visible to the naked eye and dares to show a little bit of the trenches or low-lying areas, even if he just puts on the horn of his helmet, will be treated with a 7mm Deshi card no matter how poor the treatment is. "Friendly greetings" from the heavy machine gun.

If the thing that comes out of your head is a little bigger, for example, if you dare to let the MG42 come out, even a muzzle will still be seen.

Then what comes next is not as simple as a heavy machine gun barrage. The worst thing will be the high-explosive grenade fired by the 85mm main gun of the T43 medium tank. For the flesh and blood German infantry It was simply unbearable firepower.

Knocking out those annoying Russian tanks can solve this problem. German soldiers who have infantry artillery such as Panzerfaust and Tank Killer in their hands have not tried it.

It stands to reason that with the trenches and communication trenches that are connected like spider webs all over the entire position, it is not difficult to get close to the Russian tanks. This is how the German infantry has always responded to Soviet attacks.

But the problem is that against this group of weird and unknown elite opponents, their playing styles are really completely different.

The tanks were not in a hurry to penetrate and tear up the German positions. After sending the infantry into the trench positions, they began to serve as mobile fire support points in front of the formation. They would never advance even half an inch easily.

Only after the Soviet infantry, which rushed into the trenches to clean up, achieved certain results and captured a certain area of ​​control with strong direct fire support, would these steel monsters continue to advance. Always maintain a distance that can effectively support your own infantry in combat, but is not too close to be surrounded by individual anti-tank firepower.

This also means that if the German infantry wants to approach and destroy the Soviet tanks through the cover of trenches and communication trenches, they must win the trench confrontation battle. First, kill the group of Russian infantrymen who were madly infiltrating into the position along the trenches, and then move forward over their bodies to damage the tanks behind them.

But this kind of thing itself is so ridiculous that people can’t even think about it. The Russians’ small-arms firepower far exceeds that of their own in close combat, to the point where they are no longer in the same dimension. How can they still think about it? Can we defeat it and advance the counterattack with heavy fire support? Are you taking it a little too seriously when you want to eat shit?

Whether it was site positioning or well-coordinated offensive tactics, the tactical skills displayed by this group of Russians were completely surprising and incomprehensible to the German army.

To describe it in a down-to-earth and easy-to-understand language, I guess "I can't understand it, but I was shocked" would be the most appropriate.
