Eight Hundred and Thirteen Just Started

(1);

On the side of the bridgehead of the railway bridge code-named "Cover", in a foxhole, Boroll was resting against the wall of the pit with his rifle in his arms. (Baidu Search.com is the fastest and most stable update.) Beside him, Tang Na and the electromechanical operator were also snoring lightly, ignoring the cold wind blowing over their heads.

This was a very normal time. In the afternoon, they sniped a battalion of Soviet troops who came to seize the railway bridge. After a fierce battle that was not too difficult, they successfully repelled the improvised mob. The attack planes circling overhead made the Soviet army unable to think of any strong attack at all, so they could only send some small groups of troops to die.

But it is obvious that the Soviets do not plan to send troops to recapture the railway bridge that belongs to them tomorrow morning. Just as Boroll and the others were drowsy, a heavy artillery shell landed not far from the bridgehead where the German army was stationed.

The huge explosion and the huge black smoke column more than ten stories high awakened all the drowsy German soldiers. They lay in their foxholes and trenches, looking not far away, that The position of a huge shell that exploded. The second shell also fell not far away, and the huge air wave mixed with the cold wind blew on everyone's faces like a knife.

The vibration, the trembling vibration, seemed to come from afar. Like an earthquake, these large-caliber shells tore the nearby ground and shocked the hearts of all German troops. These cannons are large-caliber artillery with a caliber of 203mm. The German army of this caliber is already considered a super heavy artillery, but it is obvious that in the opposite Soviet army, they are now used as ordinary weapons in tough battles and put into the battle for the bridgehead.

"It's more destructive than the American 155mm howitzer. This is the 203mm Soviet heavy artillery." Supporting his steel helmet with his bare wrist, Donner squinted his eyes to see the huge smoke column rising in the distance. He had never seen the artillery fire of the Soviet army with his own eyes, and now he finally knew that the opponent was definitely a world-class opponent in terms of the power of the artillery fire.

Borol also squinted his eyes to face the blowing shock wave, and the sand was still crackling on the helmet, but he didn't seem to be afraid of the large-caliber shells that exploded: "I heard that the one who turned around and ran away near Marin is this one." A unit, the commander is Rokossovsky... General List said he was a tough opponent."

As he spoke, he picked up the binoculars on his chest. On the side of the roadbed in the distance, Soviet soldiers were climbing obstacles such as fences in the afterglow of the sun. Some tanks that he had never seen before were driving on the road. It looks much thicker than those tanks that have fought.

"Are you sure that General Lister isn't making excuses for his troops not fighting well?" Donner glanced at Boroll beside him, and asked in a joking tone.

"Yes! I'm sure! And very sure, this is definitely a group of difficult opponents!" Boroll put down the binoculars in his hand,

Some depressed said: "Go to inform the forward machine gun position over there, don't open fire easily! They are already preparing to attack before the artillery preparation is over! The infantry coordination is quite good, it is not a free thing!"

"My god!" Upon hearing what his battalion commander said, Tang Na quickly rolled around, retreated to the traffic trench behind him, and ran out bent over. The opponents that Bolor valued so much must not be ordinary characters. Maybe the less than an hour before the sun goes down is the time to really test them.

"Damn! You really know how to pick the time... It seems that during the battle in the central region, the fight was not in vain." Boroll looked up at the distant sky. The German plane had already returned because the sky was getting dark. , now the deadliest air strike in the German army has lost its due effect.

Rokossovsky is not a half-baked military commander like Khrushchev. He is a regular military commander with very high combat command qualities. When he was in the central part, because he was the main offensive force, his troops suffered from the German air strikes, so he also accumulated the most abundant air defense experience.

Therefore, his troops launched a real attack when it was approaching dark, intending to completely defeat the German troops guarding the bridge with a single impact. Although there are risks in doing so, it is much better than risking the German planes all over the sky, fighting for losses but getting no results.

Before Boroldo could think about it, the artillery fire of the Soviet Red Army began to extend its attack. One after another, the artillery shells fell on the German positions, blowing up everyone's heads. Shrapnel flew everywhere, and casualties began to appear among some hapless soldiers. Borol leaned his face against the dirt as much as possible, and closed his eyes to listen to the whistling of the shells as they flew by.

Compared with the main force of the Soviet Union who was preparing to attack on the opposite side, the German paratroopers were even more battle-hardened super aces. Hearing the sound of shells falling, they felt almost like lying on the bed listening to rock music; they felt the earth The vibration is as pleasant as enjoying a massage.

These soldiers have survived from the cruelest battlefields, and everyone has the ability to survive to the end on the battlefield. They were not intimidated by the dense artillery fire, but waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the enemy came to their door and let them slaughter.

"Tudu! Tut!" At the front end, a tentative machine gun position opened fire suddenly, and the bullet instantly knocked down the Soviet soldiers who had approached hundreds of meters away. The machine gun position suddenly fired and stopped suddenly. Shot as if it had never been there.

Then the Soviet soldiers began to fight back violently in the direction of that position, and some tanks even rushed up, blocking the shooting angle of the machine gun position with their huge bodies. But it is a pity that the German machine gunners have already moved their positions, and have already returned to another firepower point, quietly waiting for the moment of full-scale fire.

"The protruding machine gun positions on the two wings, let go of the opponent's tanks, and concentrate on dealing with the infantry behind those tanks...Let the enemy's heavy tanks be dealt with by the people on our main position." Boroll issued a combat order, and then signaled his reaction The tank team begins to take position.

"Thuk! Thuk!" As the Soviet tanks approached the bridgehead, the German machine gun positions on both wings finally opened fire. For a while, long guns and short guns fired together, beating the Soviet infantry following the tank dizzily.

This time the German army was fully fired. The German paratroopers, whose weapons were more advanced than the general German army, let the Soviets see how heavy their opponents were. One after another, the Soviet soldiers fell down screaming, and even the few Soviet tanks that were let go finally realized that something was wrong.

"Boom!" An Iron Fist rocket flew out of a foxhole in the corner and directly hit the rear of a rampaging T-34 tank. The rocket pierced through the rear armor of the T-34, triggering The engine inside was ignited, causing the tank to burn rapidly. Soon it exploded and became a burning wreck on the field.

The German anti-tank team on the other side was not so lucky. They aimed at the front armor of the Stalin tank and fired a rocket, but it only caused the behemoth to shake, and did not even stop. Iron Fist, an individual anti-tank weapon developed before World War II, finally revealed its own weakness in power in front of Stalin's tanks.

"Damn it! That new tank is really strong! It is indeed the new equipment used by the Soviet Union to fight against our Tiger tanks!" Boroll looked at his binoculars and saw his troops fighting fiercely with their opponents on the outskirts, feeling a little anxious Said. His troops were suffering casualties, and the battle had been plunged into a deadly situation from the very beginning.

"Fight back with mortars! Try to delay the time! The paratrooper tanks behind our defense line can't be easily exposed. It can be delayed for a while, just for a while!" After thinking for a while, he asked Donna to withdraw the 1st company, which suffered the most losses. , and then use the mortars belonging to the battalion to block the opponent's attack.

The opponent was obviously unwilling to allow Boroll to withdraw his troops easily. Some Soviet infantry under the cover of tanks frantically bit the German army and fought. Although the opponent suffered more heavy losses, it also caused a lot of casualties to the German paratroopers. Less than 20 minutes after the battle had just begun, 35 soldiers had already been killed in Boroll's army.

"Boom!" Another hidden Iron Fist anti-tank team launched an attack. With the lessons learned just now, they are now giving priority to attacking the T-34 tanks with thinner armor. The state of being thoroughly stocked.

The machine gun on a Stalin tank opened fire, and two German anti-tank hands who were shifting backward were knocked down. Not far away, a Soviet anti-aircraft gun fired suddenly, and the shells hit the Stalin tank like raindrops. Because it was the tank's vulnerable side, the densely packed anti-aircraft shells finally achieved their goal and successfully interrupted the tank. track, and destroyed the track pulley and the power wheel.

An anti-tank team that had been preparing for a long time finally found an opportunity. They fired a rocket and accurately hit the paralyzed Stalin tank. This tank, which had been raging on the German positions for a long time, It exploded into a pile of scrap iron.

Boroll frowned, because this battle had only just begun.
