Chapter 2387 After Destruction

Malachenko has led his troops to launch countless offensive charges, but perhaps this time is the most different so far.

There is no frantic German light weapons fire, no anti-tank artillery fire from a long distance, and no projectiles such as Panzerfaust or anti-tank missiles. The only thing waiting on the road ahead is the black mushroom cloud rising into the sky and the deathly silence.

"Damn, it's too quiet! Is there something wrong?"

"Could it be that all those Germans are really dead?"

"I don't believe it, how is it possible? We have fought so many battles, have you ever seen a firepower preparation that directly wiped out all the Germans? It's impossible."

The driver was uneasy, the loader was suspicious, and the gunner was puzzled. None of the brothers in Malashenko's full car had no reaction. This abnormal battlefield situation has exceeded the ordinary cognition. Even Malashenko couldn't make up his mind for a while, but just kept calm and gave orders.

"Keep going, if there are still living Germans, we will meet them soon, it won't take long! Everyone, stay alert!"

If it were a normal situation, no matter what Malashenko said, he would never think that the Germans on the defense line were dead.

As Ivushkin said, the firepower preparation before the attack killed all the Germans. It doesn't conform to logical common sense to say so, but this time it's different.

Malashenko had never seen what the scene would look like after 18 gas tanks were dropped almost simultaneously and bombed intensively.

Malashenko not only did not know the specific killing effect, but also could not make an expected assessment based on existing experience, and could not even guess the casualties of the Germans.

There was no way, this was already an over-quantity and over-saturation attack.

Gas tanks are extremely rare and rarely used, but whenever they were put into actual combat, they would blow the Germans to pieces and make them piss and pee in the midst of the earthquake. What would be the effect of dropping 18 of these explosive things with such a huge killing power at once?

Malashenko was not sure and could not guess, not to mention that before these 18 over-saturation gas tanks, there was an overwhelming army-level artillery preparation, which almost burned the entire half of the slope of the Zelo Heights into a flaming mountain, and had dealt the Germans a heavy blow that could not be ignored.

There is only one way to know the specific effect of the attack: go to Banpoyao in person to see the situation on the spot and visit the site. The so-called "no field investigation, no right to speak" basically means this.

The fully equipped and fully staffed leader division launched an attack with absolutely powerful forces in the first wave of attacks without any probing.

Kurbalov's main force, the First Heavy Combined Brigade, almost deployed all the main forces that could be sent, except for a small number of troops left as reserves. The total force of this first attack wave accounted for nearly half of the overall combat force of the leader division.

If we put aside the special organization and troop structure of the leader division, and take the ordinary Red Army troop organization as an example.

Malashenko's first wave of attacks was at least higher than the division level, and it might be a little short of the army-level group charge, but to be honest, it was not much different.

In the battlefield environment of the Zelo Heights, where the width of the battlefield is limited, it seems very risky for Malashenko to deploy such a high-density attack force at one time.

If the Germans resist tenaciously and have fierce firepower, the leader division crowded on the upward charge will become a target, and the Germans will be allowed to hold the heights and fire randomly, causing huge casualties. If they can't bite off the German defense line in one breath, it will even be difficult to retreat.

This is almost a charge of "only success and no failure". Whether the leader division's attack energy is strong enough or the German defense line is strong enough, which one of the two will directly determine who will laugh at the end.

"Almost, let the infantry get off the car and prepare for the charge! Each vehicle crew's machine gun and machine gun are in place, ready to cover! Use large-caliber main guns with caution, be careful not to accidentally injure friendly forces!"

The mechanized cluster of the leader division, roaring and roaring all the way up the slope, has approached the last stall in front of the German defense line.

Upon hearing the order, the mechanized infantry immediately filed out of the rear compartment of the infantry fighting vehicle, holding their AKs tightly in their hands and dispersing in all directions, following their own infantry fighting vehicles and tanks on foot to prepare for the final sprint.

The heavy tanks at the front raised their gun barrels and pointed their coaxial and roof machine guns straight ahead. The infantry fighting vehicles on the left and right of the tanks and behind them also rotated their turrets and had their gun barrels ready. Any soft targets and lightly armored targets of the enemy that appeared in the field of vision in front of them could be instantly torn into pieces with a barrage of bullets like splashing water.

Everyone was waiting for the moment when the close combat would break out. Whether it was the Red Army soldiers following closely behind their own armored vehicles or in the armored vehicles, they were all ready and could fight at any time.

But the strange silence that was hard to fathom continued.

200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters, 25 meters

On the barren and hot German defense line, let alone the sound of gunfire and iron fists, the reality was that even if they rushed to the face, they were still dead and could not see a single hair.

What should I do? Are the Germans cheating? Is there something fishy going on?

Many soldiers and grassroots commanders were thinking about this issue, even if it was only for a short moment, and it did not hinder their progress. However, in the end, all they were waiting for was the order personally issued by the division commander.

"Continue to advance! Seize the time! The armored units continue to advance until they encounter resistance, and the infantry follows up to occupy the enemy's position and clear the defenses!"

Malashenko believes that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and conspiracies will be impossible to start and will be shattered at a touch.

What can be foreseen now is that there is no reason for the leading division to be beaten up by the Germans and suffer heavy losses under such circumstances. Malashenko cannot guess what conspiracy and trickery the Germans used to achieve this effect. In that case, I will assume that you have no job.

This is not to underestimate the enemy, but the confidence that an experienced senior commander should have.

And when the first batch of armored units and the first group of mechanized infantry rushed to the German defense line, they rumbled over the dilapidated trenches and jumped into the enemy position that was bombed into a deserted area.

A series of shocks and horrors have just begun and are coming one after another.

"This is not a battlefield, it's an archaeological site, a waste recycling plant and a slaughterhouse all in one!"
