Chapter 2173 The Roar of the Giant Beast (Part 1)

It is not difficult to break through the German position. To be precise, this is only the first step in Malashenko's eyes. To make the German fat meat on the chopping board into a delicious pot, there are still several processing steps waiting to be cut.

"Mechanized infantry get on the car, each company gets on the car! The deep cleaning and occupation of the position will be handed over to the follow-up troops. The vanguard group will continue to break through according to the predetermined plan. Start the action! Quick!"

Tear open two holes in the weakest links on the left and right wings of the German defense line. This is the first and of course only the first task of the leader division's spearhead vanguard troops.

The most difficult and most likely to encounter difficulties and even failure in the position breakthrough has been opened. There is only one thing to do next, which is to send a steady stream of follow-up troops into the German's wound, and then expand this wound and advance into the depth until the red flesh-piercing knife is inserted into the German's heart and stabbed to death.

This is of course a very important combat mission, but it does not require the most elite and limited number of mechanized vanguard troops to complete it. The follow-up reinforcement force that rushed up immediately is the absolute main force to carry out this mission.

The 267th Infantry Division is a pure new infantry division. Not only does it not have a tank, but even trucks are not fully staffed and are relatively scarce. This not only affects the combat effectiveness, but also affects the marching speed of the troops. ɱ But at least there is no problem today, and it can even be said that it has no problem. The leader division has a lot of "hitchhiking" of various sizes and types for the infantry soldiers to take.

"Comrades, for the motherland! Conquer the fascist position, Ura!!!"

"Ura!!!"

Ura-Ra——

A certain instructor who was charging with the team had not even had time to jump out of the car, and he was already cheering to the soldiers around him.

To be honest, holding the back of the huge ISU-152A combat compartment, holding the Tokarev TT33 in your hand and calling for a charge, at least this visually impactful shocking effect is indeed incomparable to standing on the ground, and of course it can also make the soldiers burst out with courage and fighting spirit.

Countless Red Army soldiers holding various weapons jumped off from various armored combat vehicles of the leader division with passionate slogans, and began to launch the final charge towards the enemy positions close at hand, one after another.

The German positions that had been completely collapsed by the first wave of vanguard troops could no longer mobilize any effective firepower for defense and blocking. The few German remnants who were still alive could only watch the vast ocean of enemies rushing into the positions, but they could not do anything meaningful.

The existing troops at hand have reached 80% of the fully equipped state. Malashenko, who has abundant resources, will certainly not be stingy in providing sufficient firepower support to his comrades in the friendly army.

In order to ensure an absolute victory over the Germans, Malashenko not only mobilized all the armored forces at hand, leaving no reserve troops and going all out, but also transferred the ISU152\A as the artillery of the division and brigade.

These armored behemoths, which have removed the turrets, added a fully enclosed heavy armored combat room, and installed a 152 howitzer with a larger caliber and stronger firepower, have a real destructive power as shocking as their appearance.

The heavy main armor belt, which is as strong as heavy tanks and even more so, is an absolute wall of sighs that is enough to make all types of German anti-armor weapons sigh. These mobile steel fortresses wearing heavy armor and carrying huge cannons on their shoulders will be the most effective siege weapons on the road to victory for the 267th Infantry Division.

Chida da da da da——

"Get down! Get down quickly! German machine gun bunkers, don't go forward, hide!!!"

From the current situation after entering the position, the Germans are indeed not stupid pigs who only remember to eat and not to fight, at least the Germans in front of them are not.

In the continuous strategic failures and retreats, they have to start learning and mastering those defensive tactics that they used to look down on and disdain. They even have to learn from their opponents, the Soviet Red Army, and learn some successful defensive tactics to strengthen their defense.

The key obstacles in the communication trenches in the position, the hidden machine gun bunkers are arranged to implement fire blockades when necessary. Whether it is to delay the enemy's offensive to buy time, or to stop the decline and defend the remaining positions, it is very useful. Unexpected sudden firing can cause considerable casualties to the enemy, and this is also one of the new skills that the German army, which did not master this trick at all before, has learned from the continuous beatings.

"Leave it to me, platoon leader! I will lead the team to take down the fascist bunker and ensure the completion of the mission! Please cover me!"

The young squad leader shouted to the equally young platoon leader who was only a few years older than him, asking for a fight. The platoon leader, bathed in the noise of gunfire and war, did not nod in agreement as usual. Instead, he grabbed the squad leader's sleeve and signaled him to step back a little and be careful of stray bullets, and spoke at the same time.

"It won't be used this time! Stand back and let the big guys of the leader division come! They are coming up!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground under his feet trembled and shook. The thick layer of frozen loose soil and snow on the edge of the trench shook and fell into the trench. This was a movement that could only be made when the heavy armored vehicles of the brigade were dispatched together and the distance was close enough.

This time, the steel monsters that rushed forward were not the iconic heavy tank clusters of the leader division, but the ISU-152\A self-propelled artillery with their gun barrels raised high.

"Can you see it? The Germans' green tracer bullets are coming from the corner of the blind spot at one o'clock, sweeping the trenches. That's our people!"

The ISU152\A has many advantages, but it is not perfect.

The sighting field of this huge, fully enclosed heavy armored self-propelled artillery is not really good. To put it bluntly, it is limited to allowing you to barely see which direction the car is heading when you observe it in the car, so as not to overturn the car into the roadside ditch.

As the saying goes, effort and return are often equal. If you want to get a better combat vision on the battlefield, the commander who is responsible for the enemy search task of the entire vehicle must stick half of his head above the bridge of the nose out of the vehicle. This is the case with the commander comrade who is holding the radio and informing the gunner of the enemy's coordinates.

The commander's field of vision was not good, and the gunner's field of vision was also not good.

The gunner, who did not have a rotatable turret, could only swing the gunner's wide-angle periscope to search for the enemy first. After confirming the location of the enemy target described by the commander, he shouted repeatedly on behalf of the commander.

"I saw it, the German machine gun! Sasha, turn the vehicle right 15 degrees and stop, I want to send that fascist to the sky!"
