Chapter 2508 Final Breakthrough (I)
Malachenko has been waiting for this moment for a long time, to completely tear the Germans to pieces and end this already boring battle on the high ground.
The only large fortification group left in the German position in front of them. If they take it, the leader division will be able to completely penetrate the entire Zelo Highland and stand on the other side of the highland to look at the city of Berlin in the distance. This will be the best gift given to Malachenko and his comrades after all the cruel bloody battles so far.
"Fire suppression! Don't be stingy with ammunition, use the maximum firepower to suppress all targets that appear within the visual range! Attack!"
The ISU-152\A self-propelled artillery group, which had just replenished its ammunition, received the supreme order from the division commander: use up all the ammunition carried in the vehicle and use the maximum firepower to smash all German targets within the field of vision.
Boom boom boom——
The heavy tanks charged ahead, advancing furiously, followed closely by the infantry fighting vehicles that covered the infantry. The huge ISU-152\As had stopped and entered combat positions according to the order of the division commander. The muzzles that had been smoked black by the flames of repeated firing once again and again continuously spewed out hot flames.
The German soldiers stationed at the forefront of the last core position had never seen such a fierce direct artillery attack.
The shells that attacked crazily in the mountains and seas were like tsunami waves set off by the impact of earthquake waves, one after another, with no reduction in power, and the intensity of the artillery fire was even more rampant, and the more fierce it was.
It was as if the Russians had set up a military-level field artillery group in front of them, and were firing wildly at the Germans' foreheads as if they were rifles.
Under this level of bombardment, any attempt to stick one's head out of the trench and fight against the oncoming Russian tank cluster would be foolish and suicidal.
A few German soldiers who didn't believe in evil, holding the tank killers in their hands, hugged the iron fists under their armpits, and leaned out with the dung shovels on their heads, which were more psychological comfort than practical use, trying to find a target that could be effectively attacked and fired.
But as soon as the head was out, they didn't even see the shadow of the shells whistling in the air. The violent air waves from the explosions of unknown directions and how many shells had already blown on their faces.
Huh——
The scale and power of this air wave were so strong that several German soldiers who had most of their bodies in the trenches could not stand steadily and their feet trembled. They only lasted less than a second in this hot blast before losing their balance and completely unable to control their bodies.
Instead of falling into the trench behind him, he was blown away on the spot like a scarecrow swept by a tornado.
Several men weighing more than 100 kilograms, including equipment, weighed nearly 200 kilograms, no better than leaves in the wind. One by one, they were blown all over the place by the blast, dancing in the air, until they were blown up to five or six meters in the air, and flew more than ten meters away before falling heavily to the ground.
"Fred! Damn it, Fred!!!"
"Don't go, come back! It's too late to save him! Put your head in your crotch and get down quickly!"
Seeing his friend being blown away by the air wave of the Russian heavy artillery, a German recruit who was conscripted and sent to the front line not long ago was anxious to save him, but before he could take action, he was held down on the head by the old soldier next to him, and fell back into the trench on the spot, unable to move.
At this time, let alone going out, it is useless. Even if you drive a barrel truck out and are lucky enough that the Russian shells go around you, it is useless.
The Russians don't need to hit directly at all. The large-caliber grenades that explode continuously with large-scale AOE damage create a terrifying shock wave, which can not only blow flesh and blood into the sky, but also a smaller broken car in front of it.
The veteran squad leader who has been fighting with the Russians for an unknown period of time has long forgotten how many times he has seen his own small car blown up into the sky by the shock wave of Russian heavy artillery. And after seeing such a scene, he will never have the idea of "I want to use my flesh and blood to fight against the Russian heavy artillery", which is simply tired of living and idiotic.
The veteran didn't know how long this bombardment would last. He couldn't find a reference in his past combat experience. Even he himself encountered such a fierce direct artillery coverage at such a close distance for the first time.
The most common SU-76 small guns in the past were now nowhere to be seen. This kind of direct-fire support firepower that was usually the most common in the Soviet army has now completely disappeared. Instead, those extremely valuable ISU-152s that were rarely seen on the front battlefield in normal battles were deployed in groups, and their number was almost as large as that of the Russian heavy tanks.
"There will be no tomorrow. This damn high ground will definitely not last today. The Russians have shown their wealth and are really playing with it."
The veteran squad leader is not stupid. He knows what kind of invincible enemy he is facing at this moment, and he also knows that it is meaningless to continue this battle at this point. The victory of the Russians is unstoppable.
However, this does not mean that he will give up, abandon himself or simply choose to surrender, just like many other German soldiers who chose to fight to the end even in the face of such fierce artillery fire.
They are just waiting for a result that will bring an end to what they have done so far on this bloody highland. As for whether they will die or live under the influence of this huge wave of war, they will just drift with the tide and become no more. It's important.
"The Russians are coming, ready to fight"
call out--
crackling——
Someone yelled a reminder and before he could even finish his words, a large-caliber projectile came from nowhere and hit his face, directly smashing the loud-voiced German soldier's head into pieces, and he lost control. The headless corpse suddenly fell to the ground like a heavy flour bag.
"Get up and prepare to fight! Grab your gun and load it!"
The veteran pulled up the collar of the recruit's shirt and shouted orders before he finished speaking. The big military boots of the Russians from the opposite side had already stepped in front of him.
There was no time to wonder why it was so fast. The veteran squad leader with sharp eyes and quick hands just lowered his head and shrank his neck. He faced the bayonet attack directed downwards at his forehead and had already missed it. He clung to the brim of the steel helmet with a harsh metal friction sound. Crossed.
He dodged the blow and then grabbed it with his backhand. He grabbed the barrel of the Russian assault rifle and dragged the Russian soldier holding it into the trench. There was an inevitable struggle and a struggle followed by an angry roar. .
"What the hell are you doing!? Kill him quickly!"
