Chapter 1679: Are There Still Minefields?

"This firepower is really no worse than before. These Germans are dead. We will be the corpse collection team again later.

With the independent gunner's wide-angle periscope, Iushkin, who was in the gunner's position, could also see the scene of the position turning into a sea of ​​fire. This firepower density is no less than the artillery preparation of the first two defensive positions just now, at least that's what Iushkin thought.

After hearing this, Malashenko, who was holding the commander's periscope, just moved his lips slightly and spoke slowly without any emotion.

"If you underestimate the Germans so much, why don't you get off the car and rush to the position with a gun? Anyway, they are all corpses and can't kill you. "

"

Iushkin's expression at this moment can basically be accurately described as "ah this". When it comes to the ability to choke people speechless with a casual remark, Malashenko has never lost to anyone.

"Don't underestimate them! This is the third line of defense in depth. The artillery preparations of the front army did not cover this area at all. This is not only the starting position of the German reserve, but also the main defense position for the heavy equipment assembly. Understand this! The two positions in front are at most appetizers, not even the surface. "

Malachenko did not think that the battle that was about to begin would be as smooth as the previous two. Without the front-level artillery preparation, the enemy's defensive strength would inevitably be greatly enhanced.

Even with his own divisional self-propelled artillery and air support, the amount of firepower projection between the two was still disproportionate and far apart. You have to know that it was a front-level field artillery cluster artillery preparation that lasted for a full hour.

Malachenko did not even ask how much casualties such firepower preparation could cause to the German troops on the position. As long as it could disrupt the German position defense deployment and create chaos, so that the Germans could not effectively block and buy time as soon as he led his men to push up, this was enough for Malachenko.

As long as he could ride the tanks on the Germans' faces and run over the positions, Malachenko dared to say that he had won more than half of the battle. With the overwhelming firepower of his own light infantry, he could completely defeat the Germans. You can attack the positions at will. So the most important battle is not the battle for the positions, but the assault process to open up the offensive path to the positions.

The German positions under the fierce air strikes were in a sea of ​​fire, which was miserable. Malashenko, who was commanding his assault troops, watched the offensive distance gradually shorten to one kilometer, and the German troops on the positions still failed to organize an effective defense at this moment. It seemed that victory was within reach, and they only needed to rush forward at the last moment to complete the task!

Boom——

Just when Malashenko was concentrating on not missing every detail of the battlefield, a sudden loud noise suddenly sounded without any warning. The sound of the loud noise was so close that Malashenko felt that the distance should be within a few meters of him. Malashenko, who intuitively felt that the explosion was wrong, quickly picked up the radio transmitter and pressed the button.

"Report the situation! What happened! What happened to the explosion just now!?"

"Landmine! Comrade division commander, there is a minefield in front of this position! The Germans also set up an anti-tank minefield in front of their third line of defense. We rushed into the minefield! "

!?

Fuck your German sticks, fuck!

It's fine if there are anti-tank mines in front of the first and second lines of defense. I can bear it. How can there be a minefield in front of the third line of defense? Are these damn German sticks anti-tank mines able to reproduce, or are there too many to use? Why are they as cheap as cabbage?

Malachenko, who was full of complaints but had no time to think about it, just pressed the communication button and was about to reply. Unexpectedly, a series of explosions sounded at this moment. Every explosion made Comrade Lao Ma tremble and his teeth clenched. Malachenko didn't think that his tanks could be safe after running over anti-tank mines.

"Report the situation! How many vehicles have hit the mines! ? All vehicle crews give me news, quickly!"

"Vehicles 112 and 124 hit the mines! Our two vehicles are next to each other! ”

“Vehicles 301 and 305 have also hit mines! The tracks have been blown off, and we can’t move!”

Damn? Four vehicles in such a short time? The density of this damn minefield is a bit high!

Complaints aside, reality aside, even if Malashenko has a lot of ideas in his mind, he has to face the most realistic problem first: continue to charge or retreat?

There is less than 800 meters to the German position, and the bombs of the tactical bombers in Figure 2 in the sky are about to be consumed and the bombing will end. At that time, the Germans on the position will come out of the corner like rats and prepare for battle. If they haven’t rushed to the position or even got stuck in the minefield, it will be a lot of fun.

If they rush forward, there will inevitably be greater losses that are difficult to predict. It is hard to say whether it will be more or less, and we can’t make a conclusion rashly.

But if they retreat, Malashenko will be unwilling. It has come to this point. Do they really have to give up?

“Fuck you! Why do you care more about these trivial things when you have more money? In 1942, I was not afraid even if I defeated the whole army! Losing a few or a dozen tanks is nothing! Who cares? Just do it! "

This is often the reality. With more and more jars and things that are hard to part with, people tend to become more and more timid and hesitant to do things. They have to consider this and that, and they make the men even more effeminate than the women. What's more terrible is that the parties involved are often unaware of it, which is the most terrible.

Fortunately, today Malashenko can still recall the details of the bloody battle and the scarlet past of yesterday. From 1941 to 1942, it was a real battle from hell, and the battles that were close to annihilation were fought more than once.

Compared with the current situation, what is this anti-tank minefield?

Malashenko, who cursed himself for being more and more cowardly, has made a decision. He raised the radio transmitter that he had been holding in his hand and never threw it away and put it to his mouth again.

"Everyone charge! Step on the accelerator and run over the minefield! Don't spread your formation too thin to avoid contact with a larger minefield area! Get the infantry out of the vehicles, don't stay on the tanks, follow behind and pay attention to your feet and hide at all times!"

In fact, even if Malashenko didn't give such an order, the soldiers who were lying on their own tanks and acting as tank riders had already gotten off the vehicles and hid behind the tanks to find cover.

It is obviously not a wise decision to continue lying on the tanks knowing that there is a minefield. The anti-tank mines may blow up the people sitting outside the tanks while breaking the tracks. It is better to get off the vehicles and follow behind than to be killed at any time because they are too close to the mines. At least they are farther away from the explosion center of the anti-tank mines and can get more solid tank body cover.
