Chapter 2035: There Are Many Polish Foreigners!

Let the real Germans lead the way, and the fake Germans cover the back.

Malashenko did this not only to consider the casualties of the troops, but more importantly to use the group of dead ghosts in front to understand the situation and find out the truth.

Whose truth?

Of course, it is the truth of the group of Polish ghosts who suddenly jumped out from nowhere on the opposite side.

Judging from the sound of the exchange of fire, the firepower configuration of these Polish ghosts seems to be a bit complicated.

Not to mention the general infantry light weapons, the gunshots include the chaotic sounds of various rifles, submachine guns and machine guns, and judging from the continuous sound of the machine guns, it is estimated that they are not very skilled. They are real men who pull the trigger and don't let go, and shoot to death for a few seconds. Immediately after changing the bullet, the firepower is interrupted for a long time and the sound of the machine gun stops suddenly.

Machine guns, which are the core firepower of infantry squads, should not be fired in this way. Orderly firing and combining long and short points are the best way. Holding the trigger tightly and not letting go is either stupid or incompetent. Malashenko thinks that the Polish ghosts on the opposite side should be more or less both of these, and belong to the kind of people who are both incompetent and stupid.

This is at least a good thing for Malashenko. The more incompetent and stupid the Polish ghosts are, the less threat they pose to Malashenko's mission objectives. If the Germans are really forced to blow up the bridge, it will be a joke.

However, compared with the Polish ghosts' incompetence, Malashenko is more concerned about the Polish ghosts' artillery sound.

These Polish ghosts who came to sneak attack the German garrison at the bridgehead in the middle of the night actually had mortars in their hands! This is the most unexpected thing for Malashenko.

Although judging from the sound of the gun and the explosion, the mortar in the hands of the Polish ghosts should not be of large caliber, just an ordinary company-level mortar, with a caliber of no more than 100 mm at most, which is the kind that a single soldier can carry on his shoulder and run.

But this is heavy firepower in the hands of infantry after all, no matter how small the caliber is, it is still a cannon.

Judging from the vague exchange of fire that can't be said to be very clear, Malashenko estimated that the German garrison on the west bank of the bridgehead should not have any decent heavy weapons, so that they were suppressed and bombarded by the Polish ghosts' mortars, but they had no countermeasures, and they couldn't even do a mortar counterattack.

Come to think of it, whose bridgehead garrison would be equipped with mortars? This matter really can't be blamed on the Germans.

The Polish ghosts were obviously prepared for a sneak attack, which was somewhat brilliant.

Although those mortars are unlikely to allow them to win directly, they are enough to make it difficult for the German garrison at the bridgehead on the west bank to repel or even eliminate them.

To put it bluntly, the Polish ghosts may not win, but it is also difficult for the Germans to win.

The asymmetric advantage in firepower makes up for the poor quality of the Polish ghosts to a certain extent, while the German garrison has higher combat literacy but cannot provide equal firepower to ensure the implementation of the expected tactics.

The attackers can't bite it off, and the defenders can't break through, at least for a while.

This kind of stalemate, where no one can do anything to each other in a short period of time, can only have two results in the end.

Either the Polish ghosts' troops are exhausted first, and the bodies lying all over the street lose their offensive energy, and they have no choice but to retreat. Or the Germans can't bear it first, and their troops are exhausted by the superior firepower of the Polish ghosts, and finally the front line is lost and they can only choose to blow up the bridge.

Malashenko did not want to see the latter situation happen, and in a sense, he and the Germans were now "on the same boat". The Polish ghosts who only recognized the clothes and not the people would definitely shoot at Malashenko's disguised commandos now.

If you think so, it seems that there is nothing wrong with helping the Germans, and it is considered to be helping yourself.

I was thinking about whether there was any way to find the Polish ghosts' mortars and knock them out, or what tactics to use to make the Polish ghosts' mortars lose their effectiveness to the greatest extent, so that they could not play a role in influencing the development of the war.

Malashenko, who had been holding the commander's periscope, was also paying close attention to the battlefield situation and preparing to respond to the situation.

"There are a lot of Polish ghosts! Damn, these bastards are attacking the German defense line, and it doesn't look good!"

Although it was late at night, the lights set up by the Germans on the west bank bridgehead illuminated most of the battlefield as bright as day.

The Polish ghosts, who were exposed by the large-caliber searchlights, did not think about knocking out the lights, but they did so. However, more lights were shining from the east bank bridgehead to the west bank, which was to provide light support from the east to the west.

The "effective range" of large-caliber searchlights is much longer than that of ordinary infantry light weapons. The Polish ghosts regretfully found that the few broken guns in their hands could not reach the German large-caliber searchlights on the east bank bridgehead, let alone knocking out the lights. They could only bite the bullet and expose themselves to the strong light and launch a charge in an extremely conspicuous manner.

The German garrison troops on the west bank bridgehead were not fools. They did not just rely on the light support of friendly forces on the east bank. After the large-caliber searchlights in their hands were knocked out by the Polish ghosts, they quickly used signal guns to fire flares to illuminate the battlefield and gain vision.

The combination of searchlights and flares ruined the Polish rebels' plan to advance quickly under the cover of darkness. The last section of the German defense line on the west bank bridgehead, 200 to 300 meters ahead, was illuminated as bright as day. If the Polish rebels dared to enter this section, they would be discovered and there was no chance of hiding.

Because of this, Iushkin, who was holding the main gun scope, could see that the Polish ghosts who were yelling and shouting were rushing forward without any rules or tactics. The number of people was indeed a bit unexpected. But it was just limited to the number of people, and there was no advantage. This rush forward was really not much better than the scene of a group fight among rural ruffians.

On the other hand, the Germans quickly stabilized their position after the initial panic of the attack. It seemed that the casualties were not small, but they fought in an orderly manner. It was obvious that there was a capable commander behind the scenes to coordinate and command.

The Germans had set up machine gun fire points on the commanding heights on both sides of the street in advance. The MG42, which was high above, was like the chainsaw in the hands of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was left and right, left and right, and swept back and forth along the street.

The two small buildings with MG42 mounted on the left and right have formed a complete crossfire. The Polish ghosts are simply helpless in the face of such firepower, and the hundreds of corpses lying in the street are proof of this.
