Chapter 1011 Grenades

"Rush, immediately order our troops to charge up and take down a high ground!" Colonel Baranov, the division commander, shouted.

When gunshots and explosions sounded all around, Colonel Baranov immediately knew that something was wrong. The Iranians were able to set up a circle here even when they were losing ground. This is simply too surprising. unbelievable.

Colonel Baranov, however, was not panicked by the siege. He immediately made the correct judgment and rushed up the hillside!

In the Soviet troops, the cavalry are almost all troops with a history of meritorious service. Those who can become cavalry are also elites. After all, the best soldiers are infantry, even cooking soldiers. The cavalry often travels hundreds of kilometers a day. After a long-distance attack, the average person simply can't hold on.

Now, before Colonel Baranov's order has been conveyed, some of the cavalry has already moved!

They slapped the horses' backs, pulled the reins, and signaled their warhorses to run up the hillside!

Quick, run!

The war horses, all the best, ran up immediately after receiving the instructions of the rider, but what greeted them was a more violent shot!

The bullets shot towards them like pouring rain, and the rows of cavalry fell down, the horses were neighing, the riders were bruised and bruised, and even their ribs were broken.

However, as long as there is a breath, they will continue to run upwards!

They were on the hillside, cat hunched forward, until the bullet hit them and their bodies tumbled and fell with the steed.

The battle went on quickly and was quite brutal. The enemies above had too much firepower!

The cavalry is a terrifying type of army. They have been traversing for centuries. They rely on the powerful impact force and can easily break through the enemy's position. But now, they can't rush up at all. The horses charge up the mountain and run like impossible.

In this case, they all become slow living targets! At the same time, there are too many machine guns on it, and the dense bullets are like death!

"Charge to our southwest hillside!" Baranov drew his pistol: "Only forward, not backward!"

Baranov has participated in many battles and has rich experience. In these few minutes, he has already judged that the enemies on both sides of the hillside are different!

On the hillside in the northeast, the enemy's firepower is extremely fierce, and the machine guns are dense. In contrast, on the southwest hillside, the enemy's firepower is very sparse, and there are only sporadic sounds of rifles, and the number of machine guns is scarce.

Therefore, charging to the southwest hillside is their best choice, first to occupy the commanding heights!

Baranov guessed right. On the southwest hillside, is the area defended by several infantry battalions arranged by Iran near Qazvin. Compared with the German infantry divisions, the equipment of the Iranian army is slightly worse.

In fact, since 1936, the equipment in the Iranian army is almost all German-made weapons. However, almost all of the advanced weapons imported by Germany were first armed to the two infantry divisions stationed in Tehran, and it was the turn of others. In the army, it was very bad.

For example, in the current 36th Infantry Battalion, their main weapon is the Mauser rifle, and only one ZB-26 light machine gun is assigned to each squad. This light machine gun has a small magazine capacity. Although it is called a machine gun, most of the time They are all shot in bursts, and they don't have the excellent sustained firepower like the German light machine guns.

Therefore, when the hillsides on both sides are firing, their firepower density is obviously a lot smaller.

Battalion commander Mohammad, holding a ZB-26 light machine gun, opened fire intermittently.

He aimed, shot, and a Soviet cavalry fell off his horse, but more Soviet cavalry kept rushing up!

"Attention, the Soviets are coming up, prepare grenades!" Mohammad shouted.

When setting up their positions, they had already thought of this. Once the battle began, they were an area that was easily taken care of by the enemy.

So, how can they guard this place? That is to use a lot of grenades!

The density of firepower is far behind the German army, but by their side, there are whole boxes of grenades!

Last night, when setting up the position here, everyone's shoulders were rubbed and bleeding. They carried heavy grenades to the top of this mountain, and everyone carried them three or four times!

Now, greet the Soviets with grenades!

Relying on the spirit of not being afraid of death, the Soviet cavalry rushed up to the defense line of the 36th Infantry Battalion. When they rushed to the middle of the mountain, the horses finally could not climb, they jumped off the horses and continued to run!

As long as you occupy the high ground here, you will be invincible. At that time, it is easy to say whether to fight or retreat!

Colonel Baranov looked at the Soviet troops on the hillside. Although one person was tumbling and falling, there were more people who climbed up without fear of death. They would definitely be able to rush up!

It was getting closer, it was getting closer, the cavalry at the front had even climbed to the hillside less than fifty meters away from their position, and behind him, the cavalry, at least a few hundred people, were rushing up and rushing forward. , it will be broken right away.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a Persian wah wah wah from the opposite side.

With this sound, they suddenly felt that the sky in front of them seemed to be getting darker, and when they raised their heads, they only saw what seemed to be a large group of crows flying over, one by one black smoking things, blocking the sky.

Grenade!

It is very comfortable to be condescending and throwing grenades. Now, the machine gunners on the top of the mountain are still firing, but the soldiers using Mauser rifles have put down their rifles and took out a grenade box from the grenade box beside them. A grenade, constantly thrown outwards.

Unscrew the safety cover at the rear to expose the lead wire inside. Then, hold the grenade in one hand and pull the lead wire in the other hand. This German M24 wooden handle grenade is an offensive grenade with a full charge. At the same time, generally speaking, it can be thrown out. Fifty meters away is good.

However, now they have an advantage because they are condescending!

The tail of the grenade was smoking, and a recruit was a little nervous. He just pulled the lead, and threw it out without a delay of two seconds!

This throw, only 40 meters away, just landed at the feet of the Soviet soldier in the front.

The veteran is very experienced. When he was just climbing up, he kept jumping left and right to avoid the ZB-26 light machine gun. Now, when he found out that there was a grenade under his feet, he was equally unequivocal. Bending down, he picked up the long-handled grenade.

His hands were thrown back and he stood in the most standard posture.

At this point, the recruit had just held the second grenade in his hand when he saw the Soviet soldier below and threw the grenade he just threw back!
