Chapter 3055: Crazy Attack (Part 1)

The Japanese army, which was fed with huge amounts of explosives, had never seen such a scene before.

The defense line, which took nearly half a year to build in advance, was so fragile in front of the Russians' destructive power that it was unacceptable.

Except for some solid semi-permanent fortifications and a few large underground tunnel bunkers, almost all the simple civil anti-artillery holes on the front line were blown to pieces by the Russians' heavy artillery shells.

Needless to say, the fate of the Japanese soldiers hiding in them was not to be blown up to the sky with their anti-artillery holes. Being buried alive in the collapsed anti-artillery holes was the best fate to leave a whole body.

At the moment, the Japanese army was further entangled and strangled by the nightmare.

The rows of heavy artillery barrages continued to extend into the depth of the defense line, and the aerial bombs dropped like raindrops from the sky further blew the front of the Japanese positions, which had already been screened by heavy artillery, like the surface of the moon.

Kurbalov's prediction was indeed correct. The front of the Japanese position, which was covered with smoke by the heavy artillery barrage, was eye-catching even from an air-based perspective.

Rounding it off, this was the best air raid indicator smoke for the bomber formation.

When the leader's artillery fire began to extend deep into the Japanese defense line, the Japanese soldiers on the front line naively thought that this was a prelude to the Russian army's attack.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the anti-artillery hole, they saw a black mass of bomber formations flying over from the sky.

One bomb under each of the left and right wings, and two more in the belly bomb bay.

The Tu-2S tactical bomber formation, which adopted a mounting scheme of four 500-kilogram aerial bombs, came for the task of attacking and bombing the front positions of the Japanese army.

A heavy aerial bomb with a single warhead charge of 250 kilograms has an absolutely destructive destructive power for various fortifications and bunkers on the front positions of the Japanese army.

The firepower of the heavy field artillery cluster was very fierce, but it was still far less destructive than the brutality of aerial bombing.

Too many relatively solid Japanese bunkers that survived the brief artillery preparation just now were blown up and destroyed in the subsequent air raids because they were fixed positions and could not escape or hide.

After the first two attacks of artillery and air raids, the remnants of the Japanese army, who were bombarded to doubt their lives, could finally take a breath.

But the third attack that followed was more deadly than the first two.

"Tanks! Russian tanks!! So many Russian tanks!!!"

"Earthquake! Run! Earthquake!"

"Baga! You pighead! What earthquake!? That's because there are too many Russian tanks!"

It's not the Japanese devils' fault for being ignorant. It's just that the tank clusters charged, and the number was enough to cause the earth to shake.

This kind of daily scene, which had long been commonplace on the battlefields of the Eastern Front, was the first personal experience that almost all Japanese soldiers had never heard of.

"Engage! Prepare to engage, anti-tank artillery squad, get ready!!!"

It was also thanks to the small size of the gun that it could be dragged into the anti-tank hole and hide with people.

A considerable number of these 37-inch small guns, which were regarded as treasures by the Japanese, actually survived the artillery and air strikes just now.

Now, under the loud shouting of the Japanese sergeant, the Japanese soldiers, who were trembling with rotten flesh all over their bodies, worked together to push out of the anti-tank hole and set up their positions.

"Xiaoshanjun, will this work? The tanks of the Russians on the opposite side are even bigger than the hills, but our guns are-"

"Stop talking nonsense! Load and prepare to shoot!"

"Hey!"

In the eyes of the Japanese army, those tanks that were bigger than the hills were the IS7 heavy tank units that took the lead in the attack.

The IS7, which has extremely strong firepower, super mobility and terrifying protection, is too suitable for this kind of assault vanguard mission of siege and capture.

Covering the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle behind it, the IS7, which is still 700 meters away from the Japanese position, has begun to move and shoot.

The ultra-long range advantage brought by the large-caliber heavy machine gun is fully utilized on the IS7.

The IS7 has a total of 3 5mm KPVT heavy machine guns on the forward course, one coaxial gun plus a twin-mounted gun on the top of the turret. Even if the main gun is not used, it can still cause a terrifying suppression effect on the Japanese army.

It is also because the distance is far enough that most of the Japanese firearms can be ignored.

The commanders of the IS7 were able to stick their upper bodies out of the turret in a relatively safe environment, and respond to any target with flashing lights on the Japanese position with ultra-long-range machine gun barrage suppression shooting.

The crimson tracer bullets whizzed in from a distance of 700 meters, which almost made infantry light weapons despair, like a series of fire dragons.

Such ultra-long-range shooting is indeed not accurate and has a worrying hit rate, but there is no such thing as "wasting ammunition" in the dictionary. The leader army did not do this for the purpose of pursuing precision killing.

My accuracy is indeed not good, but if I shoot 50 rounds of 5 heavy machine gun bullets, I should be able to kill you, a Japanese devil, right? I should be able to ignore most of the earthen bunkers and smash the Japanese soldiers hiding behind them into pieces, right?

As long as there are Japanese soldiers being torn into pieces and dying on the spot, as long as the devil's head is next to the ear, this shrill screaming horror sound will continue and be dense.

The leader army's seemingly "wasting ammunition" action this time has achieved its purpose.

People are flesh and blood, they are mortals, not cold and ruthless fighting machines.

Even fanatical militarists like the Japanese army cannot completely turn a blind eye or be unaffected when 5mm barrages roar around them and teammates around them are beaten into pieces one after another.

"Load! Load quickly and prepare to shoot!"

Bang——

The sergeant who was directing the artillery team to fight shouted impatiently before he finished speaking. The sound of a cannonball falling to the ground suddenly sounded.

The sergeant who was startled by the sound of the shell hitting the ground subconsciously turned his head and saw that the recruit responsible for loading the shell was looking at him with a look of horror. His legs and hands were trembling at the same time. This made the short sergeant angry on the spot. If you don't hit one place, you will be furious.

"idiot!!!"

Snapped--

It is not convenient to beat and scold subordinates on the battlefield, but the grumpy sergeant couldn't bear it.

Not even the slap was over, he rushed forward and grabbed the new recruit by the collar, holding his hands together, looking at the frightened and rapidly swollen face, and said viciously.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"You have no choice but to fight, do you understand!? If you fight bravely, the Russians may not be able to kill you, but if you are a coward, you will definitely be killed by me! Go back and reload the shells for me!"

"Hi-hi! I understand, Your Excellency!"

"get out!"

He pushed the recruit Danzi and threw him back to the loader's position, then bent down again to pick up the 37mm fixed shells that had fallen to the ground.

The sergeant, who had no time to waste, was holding the command knife in his hand. He was just about to return to his command position and order to fire. He never thought that the heavy machine gun barrage from the Russians on the opposite side would come faster.

crackling——

call out--

An armor-piercing incendiary indicator bullet with a crimson tracer hit him head on, and by accident, it hit the sergeant directly on the Adam's apple on the neck.

The entire neck disappeared on the spot, and the head was moved and removed on the spot.

A still-warm head rolled to the feet of the recruit.

He looked at the sergeant's eyes wide open with a look of death, and looked at the puzzled and horrified look on his face at the last moment of his life.

The cannonball that had just been picked up by the recruit once again dropped to the ground. By coincidence, the bullet pointed downwards and hit the sergeant's head, which was rolling around like a ball.

"Mom! Mom!! I don't want a war, I don't want a war!!!"

"Baga! You guy, come back quickly! You will die!!!"

The young recruit, who was so frightened by the billowing heads that he had a nervous breakdown on the spot, turned around and ran away. Other Japanese soldiers on the gun position quickly called to stop him, but they did not expect that his own death would come faster than the terrified recruit Danzi who ran around in fear.

Cracking hooting hooting——

Ding-ding-crack--

"Uhhhhhhh!!!"

The 5mm heavy machine gun barrage mixed with armor-piercing bullet chains directly penetrated the anti-artillery shield. Together with the metal fragments and deformed and unstable warheads set off at the moment of penetration, the Japanese artillery crew hiding behind the anti-artillery shield was scattered on the spot. The whole place was filled with screams.

"Each tank crew continued to suppress the heavy firepower of the Japanese army, the infantry fighting vehicles concentrated their firepower to open a gap in the position, and the infantry prepared to charge!"

The command from the radio rang in his ears. Alsim, who put down the wired microphone, picked up the AK in his hand, pulled the charging handle, and loaded the bullet.

The final charging distance of 700 meters passed in an instant, and now it was time to get off the car and rush into the enemy's position.

"Get ready, follow me!"

"Ula!!!"

boom--

Kicking open the car door, Alsim was the first to rush out. From inside the car, Alsim could see not only the boiling and rolling battlefield in front of him, but also the strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke that filled the air. Go straight to the nerves.

"Follow the tank! Charge forward, fast!"

Also because the suppression effect was so good, the IS7 heavy tank echelon rushing at the front decided to go one step further.

The formation was opened directly, and under the cover of the infantry and infantry fighting vehicles, the wide and heavy tracks were rolled over the Japanese trenches, and the body, which the Japanese regarded as a giant, was driven directly to the front of the position.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

The head of the Japs rifleman who had no time to dodge was crushed like a watermelon, and his whole body was forced into the soil by the wide tracks of the IS7, and was physically compressed into a "Japanese Japs".

Regardless of what happened to the Japanese who had been photographed in front of him, Alsim, who followed IS7 and used cover to rush into the trench, immediately raised his gun and shot.

“Onboard!!!”

"Onboard your mother Suka!"

Da da da da——

With their bayonets attached, the Japanese soldiers who were trying to fight hand-to-hand but were unable to move in the trench were knocked to the ground on the spot by a single shot from Alsim, who was beaten and scolded before he could get close.

"Fire blockade! Don't let the enemy rush over along the communication trench, hurry!"

Following Alsim, he jumped into the trench, and Sulovechenko, who immediately put his gun on alert, shouted orders.

He commanded the soldiers who were following closely to suppress the Japanese troops who were trying to rush over and drive them out of the position while the Red Army was not yet firmly established.

At the same time, the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle that was following the infantry also drove to the front of the formation, but did not drive into the position with the tanks.

Instead, they stopped in front of the formation and began to use the 25mm machine gun and 62 coaxial machine gun on the turret to provide direct fire support for the infantry attack.

The infantry squad of the leader army is not equipped with heavy machine guns, but these BMP43s, which play the role of mobile machine gun bunkers, are more lethal than traditional infantry-carried heavy machine guns.

The short infantry fire suppression charge has not yet ended, and the Japanese infantry, who were already suppressed by the firepower of fully automatic light weapons and could not even lift their heads, wanted to rush up and retake the position.

This was followed by a more brutal 25mm machine gun plus coaxial machine gun direct fire.

Wherever the 25mm machine gun barrage mixed with high-explosive bombs hit, there was a burst of flying sand and stones, and dust flew everywhere. The high-speed fragments that hit the face at this extremely close distance were enough to kill the devil.

Not to mention that the 25mm machine gun barrage not only contained high-explosive bombs, but also mixed with armor-piercing incendiary bombs with ballistic indication effects. The brutal firepower of bombing and piercing almost made the Japanese despair on the spot.

If they continued to hide, they would only be penetrated. The fragile earth and wood bunkers could not stop the 25mm armor-piercing bullets.

Rushing out would be a dead end. The Japanese leg that was blown into pieces by the high-explosive bomb was still standing in front of the surviving Japanese.

"Captain Yoshikawa! What should we do? Staying here will only increase casualties!"

Neither hiding nor rushing.

Retreating was even worse. How could they dare to retreat when they hadn't even touched the hair of the Russians?

"Everyone, follow my command knife! Charge at the Russians--"

Da da da da da--

Before the captain could finish his words, the combat engineer machine gunner who was rushing with the RPD light machine gun had already arrived.

Holding a belt of 100 rounds in his arms, he started shooting from his waist. The combat engineer machine gunner, who was wearing armor and rushing while firing, was like a human tank.

The Japanese soldiers who had never seen machine guns used in this way could not dodge in time, and were mowed down by the candied haws in the trenches on the spot.

The remaining Japanese soldiers took advantage of the opportunity when their teammates risked their lives to defend, and rushed through the intersection of the traffic trench without looking back, hiding in the blind spot.

When the sound of the Russian machine gun stopped, the Japanese soldiers subconsciously thought that it was the Russians who were changing bullets. They looked at each other and knocked the grenade with the ring removed on their heels, then stood up and were about to throw it.

But they didn't expect that the Russian machine gun in the trench not far away had disappeared temporarily, but something more terrifying than the machine gun was already in sight.

Whoosh——

Arsim, who leaned his upper body out of the trench, pulled the trigger, and the 100mm super-caliber rocket-propelled grenade immediately gushed out.

Looking at the subsonic, large-caliber rocket-propelled grenade, it became bigger and bigger in the field of vision and rushed towards the face.

The Japanese bombardier, who had a few tenths of a second to react, was terrified, but he didn't even have time to dodge. After a loud bang, dozens of pieces of meat and dust flew straight into the sky.

He didn't bother to see the results of the battle. He directly stuck the end of the smoking launch tube down on the ground and called Alsim, the assistant gunner with an ammunition bag on his back, to come forward and speak loudly.

"Reload! Quick, another round!"

The second update will be later, and there is another big chapter
