Chapter 1308: Continue Firing

The Soviet infantry group that continued to advance forward completely confused the German army, which was already struggling on the battlefield.

These skilled and skilled Soviet infantrymen seemed to be deliberately avoiding close combat with the German army. The close hand-to-hand combat that was usually seen in the past was very rare in today's battle. From the perspective of the Soviet army as the attacking party, it was almost avoided if it could be avoided.

The efficient automatic firepower combination of PPSh-41 and PPSh-43 was pushed to the front, followed by at least one SVT40 semi-automatic rifle, plus the remaining Mosin-Nagant rifles to attack in coordination.

In most cases, German soldiers were killed on the spot by the extremely fast-firing PPSh. In the rare cases when the German army had the opportunity to fight in close combat with the Soviet army, they were either killed on the spot by a large number of people, or stabbed by the bayonet and long gun behind the pistol, and died in pain on the spot with their hands on their stomachs.

This assault team tactic, which is based on a large number of grenades and more than half of the automatic firepower, was used for the first time. The person who suggested avoiding the hand-to-hand combat as much as possible and replacing it with this new tactic was our division commander Comrade Lao Ma.

With past combat experience, Malashenko became more and more aware that the cruel hand-to-hand combat was too costly for the infantry, especially the veteran troops under his command, who were already rare and precious! After each battle, countless veterans who could have played a greater role died, and the death rate of new recruits was even higher.

Malashenko, who felt more and more at a loss and felt pain all over his body, was determined to make a thorough reform of the existing infantry tactics.

Don't the Germans like to fight with guns and avoid close combat unless it is absolutely necessary?

Okay, come on, fight with guns! What I'm competing with you is the amount of automatic firepower. The most important thing for me, the title of the fatherly guard, is the priority supply of various good equipment.

Under the reform led by Malashenko, the automatic firepower equipment of the Varosha Infantry Regiment has been improved to a terrifying level.

When necessary, such as the current battle for positions that must be close to combat, each assault team can be equipped with more than half of automatic weapons. Some assault teams with optional equipment even increased the proportion of automatic weapons to 70%, and light machine guns and submachine guns were mixed and carried for charging, and they could attack from far and near.

The trenches were full of corpses and blood everywhere, just like being plowed by a death broom.

The German army, which faced this kind of tactics for the first time, was completely caught off guard. The German army, who were used to seeing the Russians shouting Ura and rushing up directly with bayonets, had never seen this situation. The dense automatic firepower was like a trench storm that made people unable to raise their heads. Those who dared to dodge and shoot would inevitably be shot into a sieve and die on the spot.

Survival or destruction, this is a question worth thinking about.

Classic truths are always applicable, and for the current German army, this is a question that deserves careful consideration.

The destruction that is close at hand is like a death saw, pulling on your neck and making terrible "click" and "click" sounds. The spine feels like it is being sawed and is about to be broken, and the pain of life is gone.

The truth that time is running out is right in front of us, but no one knows how much time is left.

The German army on the high ground actually began to deliberately manage this place and build fortifications before winter. For this purpose, not only did the German army's own infantry and engineers mobilize, but also brought in the Ukrainian traitors and forced local workers to work.

Strictly speaking, the fortifications here are well built, the infantry trenches are well-organized, and the communication trenches connecting different blocks are crisscrossed like a spider web. Even the bunkers used to protect anti-tank guns have been specially poured and reinforced with concrete interlayers, although they still cannot withstand the direct bombardment of the 122 heirlooms.

If it weren't for these fortifications and bunkers, the German army, which had been hammered into shrimps, might have collapsed long ago. But these things are still not enough to withstand the Soviet offensive and save the fate of the German army.

The firepower of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division is so powerful that it is terrifying!

It is hard to imagine that a division-level unit actually has its own division-level Katyusha rocket artillery battalion and ISU152 self-propelled howitzer battalion, with heavy firepower configuration of double self-propelled artillery.

After the firepower coverage, the heavy direct firepower approaching the front line is even more powerful and unimaginable! Heavy tanks that didn't care about the consumption of ammunition lined up in a row, opened the battle line and bombarded wildly. 122 high-explosive grenades were even less valuable than mortar shells!

The offensive collapsed, morale was shattered, and bodies were annihilated in the death catastrophe of bullets and artillery fire.

Humans have a scientific limit to bear, but the limit of soldiers is stronger, but still not absolutely invincible.

The Wehrmacht troops guarding this position could no longer bear it in the wind and rain. The desperate huge and rapid casualties did not see any hope of victory at all. There was no possibility of escaping from such violent direct firepower.

There was no special order or special prior communication. The first Mauser 98K rifle with a white vest was raised so abruptly and hastily.

"Comrade tank commander, the Germans raised the white flag! They want to surrender!"

The extremely powerful Iushkin was the first to see the movement not far away. The white vest on the tip of the rifle was almost invisible in the vast snow and almost blended into the background. Fortunately, Iushkin, known as the "first gunner", had sharp eyes like a hawk.

Malashenko, who was sitting in the other side of Iushkin, heard it clearly, but his cold face remained unmoved.

"But that's not what all the Germans mean. Keep firing! Until all these bastards surrender!"

The German troops on a small position decided to surrender without prior organization. The leader might be a battalion commander, company commander, or even a platoon leader. Anyway, he would not be a big official and had no ability to coordinate and command the overall situation.

Because of this, the German troops in several other trenches and block positions still did not surrender. They continued to fire in a desperate resistance, and it was not known whether they were eager to die or really believed that there was still hope.

Malashenko is not a saint on the battlefield. He would not joke about the lives of his soldiers just because of a few stubborn Germans who refused to surrender.

Since some of you refuse to surrender, I'm sorry, all Germans will be treated equally!

The battle will not stop, and the Red Army will continue to fire.

If you really want to cry out for injustice and find someone to complain after you die, I suggest you go to hell and strangle the ghosts of a few stubborn comrades who refused to surrender to get revenge, if ghosts can die again.
