Chapter 567 Difficulty

Of course, this does not mean that the First Infantry Regiment jumped out of their hiding place and launched an attack.

"There are two difficulties in the attack!" After crawling from the front line to the rear, Colonel Slaine said to the map under the cover of a raincoat with a flashlight: "We are 500 meters away from the enemy. From the reconnaissance situation, this road is as muddy as the one we have encountered before!"

Bazel and other officers couldn't help but feel cold. They knew what this meant. They couldn't run fast on the muddy road, and it was even difficult to walk, let alone run.

The result is... it may give the enemy enough time to prepare and organize defense.

"Another difficulty!" Colonel Slaine said: "The enemy may flee in all directions after being attacked, which is not conducive to our attack on the power station!"

This worry is also necessary. You must know that this is in the dark and the enemy's strength is much larger than that of the German army. The most feared thing in this situation is that the enemy is dispersed, because it will make the German army at a loss and not know which enemy to chase or where the enemy is, and then they will fall into chaos.

"The first difficulty!" Bazel said: "We can send a commando to lurk in front of the enemy's position and suddenly launch an attack!"

The officers nodded one after another.

This is a common offensive method used by the German army. The commando can be less than many people. For example, a company sometimes has only one or two platoons. Such a small number of people obviously cannot destroy the enemy, but their role is not small... It can cause the enemy to fall into chaos and unable to organize defense at the first time. When the follow-up troops follow one after another, the enemy will have no power to fight back.

But the second difficulty cannot be solved. This battle may still become a mess.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said: "We can attack from three sides and drive the Soviets along the road toward the power station!"

"I think this is inappropriate!" Bazel objected: "It is impossible to identify in the dark, and it is easy to accidentally hurt the troops when they are divided into several directions!"

Qin Chuan said: "We can distinguish from the sound of gunfire. The sound of MP43's gunfire is easy to identify!"

The officers were stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

There is no doubt about this. The MP43 uses intermediate-power bullets. Since the charge is less than that of a rifle and more than that of a submachine gun, the sound of the gunshot is also between that of a rifle and a submachine gun. The most special thing is that it can fire continuously, so it is easy to distinguish.

"A good idea!" Colonel Slaine ordered: "Just like the captain said, divide into three parts, listen carefully to the gunshots!"

The combat plan was quickly implemented, and the soldiers of the infantry regiment moved to the combat position under the cover of darkness... Two companies and two assault platoons in each direction. The main force in the middle has an extra company because of the larger attack area, and the remaining two companies are used as reserves.

This also shows the command quality of German officers.

If ordinary troops encounter such a situation, it is difficult to organize and fight quickly like this. The reason is that each direction must have a unified command. Under normal circumstances, each direction has a battalion, so it is natural that there is a battalion commander to command, and the soldiers also know who to report to if something goes wrong.

But as it is now, with insufficient troops and commanders and in the dark, perhaps only the German army can group troops randomly in companies and platoons in various directions in an orderly manner.

With Colonel Slaine's order, the commandos in various directions began to crawl forward.

Crawling in the mud is not an easy task, because it often does not work and makes noises, especially the soldiers have to hold the gun in their hands and move forward with their elbows... This is because they are worried that the MP43 will get stuck due to sewage.

However, the German soldiers have undergone relevant training during training, and on the other hand, the muddy ground has provided them with a good camouflage color. Several times, the Soviet sentries noticed something and shone their flashlights into the darkness, but found nothing unusual.

Finally, the walkie-talkie sent a signal that all directions were ready. Colonel Slaine looked at his watch and ordered the mortars behind him: "Fire!"

"Boom boom boom!" A few times, more than a dozen mortars fired a row of shells in the direction of the Soviet army.

Fire broke out in the Soviet position, and several tents and Soviet soldiers were blown into the air in an instant. The Soviet sentry had not yet realized what was happening, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the fire behind him in a daze... From this point, it can be seen that the Soviet soldiers in front of them were not experienced veterans, otherwise they should have noticed the danger and lay down at the first time.

After a while, these Soviet sentries realized the problem, turned their heads and looked at the dark void with horror... But it was too late. After a few gunshots, the Soviet sentry was knocked to the ground, and then the German commandos climbed up from the ground and kneeled down to shoot at the Soviet soldiers who hurriedly got out of the tents.

At the same time, the main force of the German army also shouted and rushed towards the Soviet camp.

Several flares rose into the air, instantly illuminating the panicked faces in the Soviet camp. They raised their guns in a hurry to fight back, but before they could fire a few rounds, they were knocked to the ground by bullets fired from the darkness... The high firing rate of the MP43 and its much greater lethality than the submachine gun were well utilized at this time. In actual combat, it was found that they could not only completely suppress the Soviet PPSh submachine guns, but even if they cooperated with each other, two MP43s could easily suppress the enemy machine guns by firing in turns.

So the energy that erupted at the moment of the attack was almost unimaginable. At least in this era, there was no army with such powerful firepower.

Rows of Soviet soldiers fell down screaming, and many of them fell in a pool of blood before they even realized what was going on... In fact, even the Germans themselves were not mentally prepared for this.

Although they knew that the MP43 was an excellent rifle before, the images of the bolt-action rifle attack were still in their minds. After all, they had been fighting with bolt-action rifles for some time, which had limited their imagination.

But now when the fight started, they felt the joy of rows of bullets flying out of the rifles and heading straight for the enemy, and felt the fragility of the enemy's team like a pile of loose sand, and looked at the helplessness and fear in their eyes... They suddenly found that the battle seemed to have become easier.

The consequence of this was that the expulsion mentioned in the previous plan was almost empty talk, because the Soviet army had no time to escape, and the muddy road also limited their escape speed, so groups of Soviet soldiers struggled, screamed, and cried in panic in the camp.

But in the end, they could not escape the fate of being annihilated, and only a few hundred of them fled in a hurry to Sevastopol.
