Chapter 1868: Unstoppable Enemy
The Red Army soldiers following closely behind the huge body of their own heavy tanks are still waiting, waiting for their own heavy firepower to completely clear out those stubborn enemy firepower points.
The huge muzzle shock wave when the IS6 heavy tank roared and fired, even the shallow grass under the main gun barrel could bend one end and squeeze out a small pit. Every time the heavy and huge body of more than 50 tons fired a shot, it would tremble all over and have amazing recoil.
The soldiers following closely behind the heavy tanks could personally feel the amazing heat wave rushing and impact, just like a steaming wave rushing towards them, making it impossible to dodge. The huge sound of the gunfire would even make the ears hurt. While enjoying such violent firepower support, they also had to pay a corresponding price.
The few small wooden houses on the edge of the village could not hold out for long. Soon, they were bombarded into the sky one by one by the IS6 heavy tanks with the continuous firing of the main gun, just like giving priority to anti-tank guns.
Without these core firepower points, it was only a matter of time before the remaining German remnants near the low walls and in the shallow trenches were wiped out.
You can't say that these German soldiers were not brave and tenacious, and deliberately let down their guard. From the beginning of the battle to now, the light weapons in their hands and the few anti-tank firepower they found temporarily have never been idle for a moment. There are even brave people who raised their cluster grenades and tried to throw them at the Russian steel monsters that were not far away and could even be said to be facing the output.
But the Germans soon understood why the enemy drove heavy tanks to such a close distance and even threw cluster grenades at their faces without caring.
The enemy was not careless or stupid in battle. Some smart and quick-reacting German veterans even quickly came to their senses. The Russians on the opposite side were probably doing this on purpose. This was a fucking trap!
Those steel monsters that were very close were like bait for fishing, attracting the fearless German infantry to try to attack them with their weak firepower.
The real fishermen holding the fishing rods were the flesh-and-blood infantry who followed closely behind the tanks and seemed to need protection.
The crazy light weapons firepower output was waiting for the moment when the German infantry showed up. Otherwise, there was really nothing to do in the time when they waited behind their own tanks and waited for the direct firepower to suppress the charge. You could say it was garbage time.
Instead of doing nothing, wouldn't it be just right to lure a few fearless Germans out for target practice? Killing a few more idiots would save a lot of trouble for the village cleanup later. One-on-one close combat was the most dangerous time. Why bother to fight the enemy face to face when you can solve it with a gun? Isn't it?
Besides, the hull and turret of our tanks are all facing the enemy without exception, which means that the main armor belt of a tank with the heaviest defense is completely facing the enemy.
With the mop sticks and shoulder chimneys in the hands of the Germans, it is a pipe dream to break the frontal protection of the IS6 heavy tank, which is so strong that it can be called the Wall of Sighs. To put it bluntly, to deal with the rags of the level of Panzerfaust and Tank Killer, the main armor belt of the IS6 does not even need to be equipped with the latest modular composite armor.
Unless you are unlucky and hit the front of the turret, because a piece of armor is dug out, the weak position of the defense is reserved for observation and aiming equipment. The rags in the hands of the Germans can only smoke a piece of paint on the IS6's summer camouflage three-color paint, and at most open a small hole that can't penetrate the armor. There will be no other effect, it must be so.
When the meaningless resistance of the remnants of the German army at the entrance of the village was about to come to an end, Lieutenant Colonel Wuen, who came to observe the battle situation from a position slightly behind the village entrance, also witnessed the battle at the same time.
"We can't go on like this! We can't defend this village, Wuen! You have to withdraw the troops quickly. The Russians are now a meat grinder, and our people are queuing up to be sent into the meat grinder! You must stop all this!"
Since he came to a position slightly behind the village entrance five minutes ago to observe the battle situation with a good view, Lieutenant Colonel Wuen has been repeatedly shocked by the continuous strong shock.
He has never seen the Russians' fast breakthrough, smooth and flowing, lightning-fast fast attack tactics that are almost incapable of reaction, at least he has never seen it with his own eyes.
The Russians on the opposite side had such perfect tacit cooperation, and there was almost no stumbling between the infantry and the tanks. The infantry knew what to do as soon as the tanks moved. He, Wu En, had never seen it with his own eyes, and had never even heard of it.
And the super equipment in the hands of the enemy, and the destructive firepower exerted by these super equipment.
Lieutenant Colonel Wu En felt that his outlook on life was almost refreshed. Is this still the enemy he was familiar with in the past?
If the Russians were really good at fighting, what would the Führer's German army be? They were imprisoned in the Soviet Union and beaten for three years, and they have not been able to escape yet? If every Russian unit had this combat power, there would be no point in fighting. Everyone should just perform the French salute honestly, hold hands and sing songs and go out to surrender to the Russians!
Oh, no! This is not okay! You can't hold hands even if you perform the French salute, but you can always sing songs.
"Retreat? The battle has only been going on for more than ten minutes, and the Russians have been at the entrance of the village for less than five minutes! We haven't even deployed our reserve troops yet, and you tell me to retreat!?"
Instead of a resolute will, the major deputy regiment could see more of the shock and unwillingness that could not be concealed on the face of the regiment commander Wu En. This was not the demeanor that a powerful commander who was in control of the situation should have when facing a strong enemy and an emergency.
For this reason alone, the major deputy regiment was able to be sure that this battle, which had no advantage in either psychology or hardware, had actually been lost, and it was a complete loss. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to save the situation.
"This is a sign of the expected large-scale Russian offensive, and this is just the beginning! Our mission is to hold on here as long as possible, not to defend it to death! We have not received any orders not to retreat even a single step!"
"Look at those Russians, Wuen! Open your eyes! Do you really think that we can defeat such monsters with our weapons and our troops alone? Those are the most powerful Stalin VI heavy tanks of the Russians! All of them! Even without these tanks and their infantry, we can't win! The gap is so big that it is unimaginable, think about it carefully with a clear mind!"
