Chapter 531 The Regiment Counterattacks (Update 2581)

Chapter 531 The regiment counterattacks (Update 25/81)

Although the cold winter arrived early and the impact of the mud subsided early, on October 27, the various units of Prosen's Sixth Army were still short of ammunition.

Early that morning, the Sixteenth Army's counterattack began.

Wang Zhong stood at the door of the headquarters, listening to the sound of artillery coming from the west.

Because the artillery position was a bit far away from the headquarters, the sound of the artillery was very low, like a hammer wrapped in five quilts hitting the floor.

The north wind poured into Wang Zhong's collar from the collar, making him shiver.

Seeing this, Yakov took off his scarf and handed it to Wang Zhong: "Commander, please wrap it around me."

Wang Zhong: "No, no, I'm okay. I just need to button up the style button. The main reason is that it's not particularly cold now, so I didn't wear my coat..."

As he said this, he buttoned up Feng Ji, and he felt a lot warmer.

But Yakov still did not take the scarf back: "If you fall ill, the problem will be big. My wife will not let me go. She will scold me for not taking good care of you."

Wang Zhong thought for a moment, then took the scarf and put it on: "I'll return it to you later. Did your wife knit this for you?"

"Yes, we just fell in love at that time, and she knitted it bit by bit under the guidance of her mother."

Wang Zhong touched the scarf, felt the fine stitches with his fingers, and smiled: "It's so good. I have never received such a handmade gift from Lyudmila."

"When the war is over, you will definitely receive it." Yakov smiled.

Wang Zhong nodded, looked to the west, and listened quietly to the sound of cannons.

At 0831 hours on October 27, after two hours of artillery preparations, the outside of the train dispatching yard.

With the intensive whistle blowing, all the soldiers of the 16th Army who had been lying on the ground to covertly meet the enemy stood up.

Wearing clothes that were a little too thick for the weather, they strode forward.

Ant's military flag was flying at the front of the team, and behind the military flag were the priests of each company.

The church had issued an order not to allow priests accompanying the army to lead the charge, but this order was not implemented.

The enemy's machine gun fired, which was like a signal for the soldiers of the Sixteenth Army to let go and run.

The deafening shouts of death drowned out the roar of the machine guns.

But the wind of death fired by machine guns is still harvesting the lives of the soldiers.

In just a few dozen seconds, the Ant warriors in the first attack wave suffered hundreds of casualties.

Then the Plosans ceased fire and changed barrels.

Ant soldiers rushed to the house and threw grenades into the house.

After an explosion, the Ant men with bayonets rushed into the blown-open door and climbed over the blown-out window.

At the headquarters of the Sixteenth Group Army, Commander Panfilov held the receiver: "Speak louder! Half of the factory was taken down in one charge? Why only half? I don't want to listen to your reasons. Now drive out the Prosins completely." Get out of the train dispatch yard!”

The person on the other end of the phone shouted: "It can't be done. The enemy has blocked all roads with machine guns. It's impossible to rush through!"

Panfilov: "Then push the cannon in front of the enemy's bunker and blast the hell with the cannon! Bomb the hell!"

"We have deployed the artillery to a place where it can block the enemy's tank troops. Do you want to move it away?"

"No," Panfilov said anxiously, "You idiot, you can just mobilize a gun and kill the enemy's firepower points one by one. Who asked you to mobilize the entire anti-tank gun battalion? Just one gun. , push and shoot directly at those fire points, kill them!"

Train dispatching yard, west side factory building.

The Prossen machine guns were firing continuously on the second floor of the factory.

Judging from the sustained firepower, there may be two machine guns on the second floor, one firing and the other changing barrels.

The Ant infantrymen were beaten so hard by the two machine guns in the factory that they could only huddle behind the bunker.

At this time, more than a dozen anti-tank gunners appeared pushing a ZIS3 76mm anti-tank gun.

The machine gunner immediately discovered this target that was extremely threatening to him, and the bullets immediately swept towards the cannon, killing four gunners immediately.

The shooter hiding behind the cannon shield began to operate the cannon and aimed the muzzle at the second floor where the Prossen machine gun was located. When aiming accurately, the gunner directly opened the breech and looked out from inside the barrel, just in time to see the window on the second floor - this shot must be accurate!

"High-explosive reload!" shouted the captain hiding behind the shield.

The porter had already squatted behind the cannon holding a cannonball. After hearing this order, he excitedly loaded the cannonball into the barrel.

The gunner held the rope for firing and shouted: "Ready!"

The enemy fired another wave of machine guns, and the gunner was shot in the neck. Blood spurted out immediately, and a thin line of blood sprayed for three to four meters.

As the gunner fell backwards, the deputy gunner held the firing rope.

The deputy gunner yanked the rope, and the muzzle blast immediately swept through the factory building, blowing up all the dust within a five-meter radius.

The shell directly hit the second-floor window and caused a large explosion.

A machine gun rolled out with a tripod, and another machine gun could be vaguely seen in the hole filled with smoke and dust.

The infantrymen burst out of their bunkers cheering and rushed along the tracks past the factory buildings.

Prosen soldiers also emerged from behind the bunkers.

The Proson sergeants fired with MP40s and were knocked down by the butts of their rifles.

After entering the hand-to-hand combat, it was the area where the Ante people were good at. These men from the grassland usually enjoyed wrestling, and now they directly threw the Proson devils to the ground with their guns, and then used bayonets to supplement them.

Just after the panic of the Proson people reached a certain threshold, the "avalanche" occurred. At first, only one person turned around and ran away, and then the entire position and finally the entire Proson soldiers in the dispatching yard began to run.

A Proson officer pulled out his pistol and shot two "deserters", and then he saw the Ante soldiers rushing towards him with bayonets.

So the officer also turned around and ran, even faster than the soldiers.

By 2 pm on the 27th, the 16th Army completely controlled the train dispatching yard and the surrounding concrete buildings.

At 17:41 on October 27, the headquarters of the Ante Abavakhan Front.

Wang Zhong took the microphone and said, "Panfilov, remember, don't pile up the troops together. It's enough to put three people in each block. If these three people die, three more will come out."

In the Steel Grad on Earth, the Russians defending the city were divided into combat teams, with one team squatting in one block. Their task was not to stop Sandezi, but to launch a sneak attack on Sandezi's troops and cause as many casualties as possible.

As long as the enemy's troops are exhausted, the enemy will not be able to attack, and the task of defending the city will be completed.

As for the ending of these combat teams, it can only be said to be horrible. Basically, they exchanged their own lives for the lives of the enemy.

At this time, Wang Zhong had to copy the "successful experience" of the Russians on Earth.

It is better to sacrifice more than to have the city occupied by the enemy.

Now it is time to use the troops like mud.

Panfilov nodded on the other end of the phone and said, "I understand. Our army is just right for this. We are equipped with submachine guns at a high rate, almost catching up with the naval infantry!"

Wang Zhong: "Then I'll leave it to you. Remember, hold on as long as you can!"

"Yes!"

Wang Zhong put down the receiver and looked at Pavlov: "Are there any troops arriving today? What help can we provide to the 16th Army?"

"Because the navigation capacity of the Valdai River has returned to the level before the blockade," Pavlov picked up the map stick and gestured on the map, "Now a considerable number of troops are sent by ship every day."

Wang Zhong: "Very good."

Pavlov asked again: "Send them all to the front line? Then don't you keep the troops to fight back?"

Wang Zhong: "Don't think about these for now. When the number of our front-line troops reaches the point where the Prosen people can't attack, we will start to gather counterattack forces."

Pavlov: "Got it."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, he turned around and went to work, leaving Wang Zhong alone sitting on the chair, looking at the map and cracking edamame.

Wang Zhong didn't know where the Seris chef got the edamame, but it tasted pretty good anyway.

Plossen Sixth Army Headquarters.

The army chief of staff looked at the offensive mark on the map and was furious: "Didn't the information given by the headquarters say that Rokossov was an Ante general who specialized in defense? How did he start attacking? Look at how many attacks he launched this week?

"There were two large-scale attacks alone!"

General Frederick threw the pencil in his hand on the map.

"Nonsense!"

General Frederick patted the chief of staff on the shoulder: "Okay, look carefully, Rokossov's offensives are actually for defense. He didn't really launch a large-scale attack against us, nor did he want to surround and annihilate us.

"He launched only local attacks."

The admiral paused and continued: "But Rokosov's ability to attack shows that he still has spare strength, so I think it is right for us to ask the High Command for three more armies. We need these fresh troops to enter the city."

Chief of Staff: "The telegram was sent today, but we haven't received a reply yet, right..."

Admiral Frederick: "If you send three armies to us now, you can ensure the end of the war! I think the High Command will understand this."

The chief of staff could only nod.

In the territory of the Plosson Empire, the Eagle's Nest.

Plosson Emperor Reinhard slammed the table: "The Central Army Group has so many troops, and now they are asking me for help! Is the Army Reserve just for fun?"

The Imperial Chief of Staff William Celt said: "You personally ordered to withdraw some troops from the Eastern Front to other fronts, so they did so. Now they have only a few divisions that can be used immediately.

"And some troops are receiving new tanks and need to be retrained. So the armored force in the hands of the Central Army Group is far lower than at the beginning of the year. "

"You mean to blame me?" Reinhard asked.

"No, of course not. I am just making feasible suggestions, Your Majesty." Marshal Celtic shrugged, "This is the situation now. The Central Army Group is asking for reinforcements, and the Sixth Army Group that is attacking Abavahan is also calling for reinforcements-and they want three armies at a time."

The marshal did not say anything else, but waited for the emperor to taste it himself.

Emperor: "I need to think about it, don't make a decision so hastily, I need to think about it. "
