Chapter 423: Stop Florid's Strength with All Force
The moment the battle began, Hoffman was stunned, because he was also in the attacking ranks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe order to fight the whole regiment acted on everyone, and he was unfortunately cut in the cheek by a bullet, and the whole person also fell to the ground.
The start was particularly difficult! His guards immediately carried him back into the forest, and the command was handed over to the deputy commander.
The Germans were nailed to the ground, and their mortars finally came into play.
Fifty-millimeter shells exploded more effectively than grenades, and the shells exploded intensively in Soviet positions, and some simply fell into the trenches, causing serious casualties.
Vasilyev's teeth itched with hatred when he saw this, and he ordered Doronin: "I don't want the enemy's artillery to harass and destroy their artillery positions!" ”
I thought it was a field gun that no one was around, but now it's suddenly in trouble! Doronin ordered the artillery to fire three extremely rapid fires, the 75-mm shells were very slender and their charges were extremely large. Most of the German mortars were small guns, which were a little larger than grenadiers.
Fifteen shells smashed down and caused a series of explosions, including the mortar's spare shells, and the German mortar positions were in the dust of the first few shells.
When the wind blew away the smoke and dust, all one could see was a shambled position, where there were no survivors and the mortars were wiped out.
Without the assistance of artillery, the Germans really could not move an inch. They were nailed to the ground, and then they became the target of the Soviet army's precision shooters!
It was at this time, as the sound of artillery fire grew louder, that Freud believed that he was about to reach the battlefield.
He didn't know that it was all a trap, and the whole regiment of living soldiers was still running wildly in a hurry.
They erupted into today's roar and emerged from the north-western flank of the Soviet position, and the arrival of reinforcements undoubtedly brought a glimmer of life to the Hoffmann regiment. However, no one retreated, and even in the face of stubborn resistance, the Hoffmann regiment still chose to charge.
When Balzen saw that the situation was abnormal, he immediately shouted: "Vasilyev, you hold the core position, and I will lead some men to support the flanks!" ”
"Alright! I'll hand over a company of my headquarters to you, there are many female soldiers on the flanks, their combat effectiveness may not be high, increase the strength to complete the blocking! ”
On the north-west flank, Joshua saw the enemy leave the forest in general. They marched in a skirmisher line, running and firing their guns at the same time.
These soldiers are okay with their combat effectiveness, at least they shoot accurately. Many female soldiers were hit by bullets and fell in the trenches, and some were so horrific that their entire heads were broken in half.
This kind of bloodiest thing is simply devastating for women, and what Joshua fears most is that her own people will be the first to break down. She commanded, "Girls! Don't be afraid of death, forget that you have seen the bloody scenes, and all your energy is on killing the enemy! ”
If you don't see it, you won't be afraid, some of the dead are sisters, some are friends, and the girls are very young but they find death so honorable. With tears in their eyes, they continued to pull the trigger, and the resistance battle was in full swing.
Balzen led a company of Vasilyev's headquarters to arrive, this was an expanded company, with a total strength of two hundred men, plus Balzen's men were almost two hundred and five!
The addition of the male soldiers gave the female soldiers the courage to cheer up at once, and they had been working with Ninelli's men to hold back for a while, and now that they had more troops, the enemy's offensive began to encounter great resistance.
Freuver's regiment was in fact empty, its strength had shrunk to 1,900 men, and everyone was nervous and physically exhausted. This battle was really a helpless move, and when the war broke out suddenly, they had to charge.
The Germans were on the run, and they were soon dealt a fatal blow.
The number of machine guns of the Soviet army was huge, and the bullets were shooting wildly as if they didn't need money, so much so that a barrage was formed!
They continued to attack under artillery fire, and the recoilless guns of the Soviet army continued to exert force. The Germans also began to use their RPGs for projectile attacks, but unfortunately the Soviets still had the advantage in firepower.
RPGs are no substitute for artillery, and recoilless guns have a fast rate of fire, and the huge smoke and dust caused by them are quickly blown away by the wind. The enemy aimed at such a firing point and designed it frantically, and the Soviets knew this for a long time, and they could pile up dirt at each major firing point, especially the machine gun positions, and also built a simple "machine gun shield" with tree trunks, and made improvised fortresses out of tree trunks and mud.
The assault was doomed to heavy casualties, and Doronin, seeing the sudden arrival of the enemy, ordered the artillery to turn immediately.
"Battalion commander! If the barrel overheats, I'm afraid it's dangerous! Are we really going to shoot right away? One of the artillerymen worried.
"That's right! Bomb me! Crush the enemy down on me! ”
Krupp cannons are so famous that they don't necessarily blow up. Ignoring the cooling of the barrels, the soldiers continued to bombard. It was another three-shot rapid fire, and the shockwave range attack caused huge losses to Freud's regiment at once, with at least two hundred casualties, and the psychological pressure caused by it was more terrifying than the physical damage.
Kubridge was very disappointed with the outcome of the battle, and he was even more surprised to find that the friendly forces were still attacking on the other side.
"Crazy! It's insane! Isn't a soldier's life a fate? ”
He saw his warriors fall helplessly, and the more he attacked, the stronger the enemy's firepower became! Is this a decisive battle? No! It was a massacre, and it was not enough to attack such a position by relying on people alone. There must be an air force, there must be field artillery for tactical support! Otherwise, everything is back to twenty-five years ago, in the Marne and the Somme, the soldiers charged wave after wave, and then the whole army was annihilated, and the initiator was the current crazy machine-gun fire!
So Kublit's immediate order to retreat! The attacking forces were actually about to collapse, the enemy's machine gun fire was strong, and they also used the Germans' own field artillery!
Freud's regiment is retreating, this regiment has a strength of 2,400 men, and now, I'm afraid, 800 have been lost! The wounded soldiers could barely be pulled back, and they could only lie on the battlefield in agony. "Everything seems to be really repeating itself, so if you continue to attack, everyone will die!" Kubridge looked depressed, and when he saw that Floyd was still unconscious, he couldn't help but worry about the future of the regiment.
And the Hoffman regiment on the other side, the wounded Hoffman finally came to his senses. He was very happy to see that the friendly troops had finally arrived, and immediately asked the soldiers around him: "Freud's men are still attacking, we can definitely take their positions now, is this all going on?" ”
"No!" The deputy head of the regiment truthfully replied, "They also suffered heavy losses, it is clear that Freud's men did not have our courage, they have already retreated!" ”
"How is this possible?!" Excited, Hoffman's blood swelled, and the wound on his face began to spurt blood again.
Seeing this, the deputy regiment commander continued to ask for orders: "Regiment commander, the enemy's fire is very fierce, the mortar position has collapsed, and if we continue to fight, we will be completely annihilated!" In order to preserve our strength for another attack, we must withdraw! ”
"No! Can't retreat! We must get the job done! The agitated Hoffman finally couldn't hold it anymore, and the sharp pain and blood in his cheeks made him lose his spirit, and he simply collapsed.
Seeing this, the deputy regiment commander shook his head, immediately took command of himself, and ordered the whole regiment to retreat. (To be continued.) )
