Chapter 1048: A Second Kill from the Soviet Army
At this critical juncture, Yang Mingzhi knew that he was in extremely dangerous situations.
Because of the enemy's attack, the soldiers pulling the ropes on the shore were also in chaos, and the movement of the raft was almost suspended.
The scene was this embarrassment, Yang Mingzhi hung alone in the middle of the wide river, and to the south, the gunboats with teeth and claws were rushing towards him with full power.
Abram and his men are tasked with defending the Commander, and this is the most critical moment, even if he dies, the life of the Commander must be guaranteed. They instantly stood in front of Yang Mingzhi, forming a human wall, blocking possible bullets with their flesh and blood.
Yang Mingzhi was furious: "Stupid! If you have time to protect me, you might as well fight back! Abram, you all line up for me and fire at the enemy! ”
"But Commander! If you are ......"
"Phew! Lao Tzu led his troops to personally raid the enemy's tank regiment last year, was Lao Tzu afraid? And you! Natasha! Shoot at the enemy now! ”
Yang Mingzhi changed his previous gentleness, and it can be said that he pressed Natasha on the raft very roughly, which made the girl suddenly frightened, and then her psychology switched to a fighting state.
The girl was lying on the raft, unloading her SVT40, and asked: "Sir! I'm going to use this gun? Go shoot that boat?! ”
"Of course not! You'll have to grab with anti-tank! Yang Mingzhi hurriedly ordered the observer Igor: "The anti-tank you are holding is now set up immediately, let Natasha use armor-piercing shells to kill that damn gunboat!" ”
The battle came suddenly, and Natasha was unprepared, but fortunately, she was experienced in a hundred battles, and she was immediately ready to fight.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know if the gunboat was equipped with a radio or not, whether it immediately sent a telegram to their superiors, it always had to go back. It is possible that the home port of this gunboat is Kyiv or Chernoby!
In short, as long as it goes back, the Germans will know that a large number of Soviet troops are forcibly crossing the Dnieper, and the Germans can quickly judge what the Soviet army is going to do.
In this way, the appearance of this gunboat led to a huge variable in this operation - this gunboat knew too much, it was either sunk or captured, in short, there was no German left.
On the question of sinking or capture, Yang Mingzhi was naturally inclined to capture. After all, it's also a gunboat, and it has the value of turning into a tugboat! Moreover, the Missy ferry port in Japan and Japan is also of great strategic significance, and with one more gunboat, the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army will naturally increase greatly.
On this raft, Natasha, whose clothes were already a little wet, broke the formation.
At the same time, the paratrooper brigade on the shore, they quickly set up two mortar firing positions. The current mortar shells completely rely on the airdrop of the superiors, in fact, the arsenal has to imitate, the technical threshold is very low, and the imitation can also be mass-produced. But Riguskov disdained to produce mortars, after all, in his opinion, it was the rocket-propelled grenade invented by the commander, and the cost performance was the pinnacle.
High-quality mortar shells are less and less frequent, and Tepunov can only use them sparingly.
Let the mortar go and bombard a target moving at high speed, it is quite difficult to hit it! The artillery opened fire anyway, and on the port side of the gunboat, two shells turned into near-misses, setting off a huge wave that washed the faces of the entire German soldiers who were working overtime.
Zmelman was drenched, and he calmed down after washing his face like this. As soon as he had composed, two explosions occurred again on the starboard side of the gunboat, which were still two near-misses, and Zmailmann washed his face again.
He washed his face twice in succession, and the ambition in his heart suddenly cooled. The Russians had a lot of firepower, and they had mortars, and they were making a splash of water, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. If the gunboat eats a bullet, it will be sunk!
Zmailman's guess was right, but Tepnov was annoyed at the moment, he fired six shells, and all of them were close misses! You must know that this 82-mm high-explosive bomb has a rather large charge, and if you fire it on the deck of the gunboat, you can't blow it in two!
Zmailmann immediately ordered the chopping hand to fully fill the rudder to the left, and then ordered the engineer to drive the engine to maximum horsepower.
However, for this gunboat to retreat 180 degrees from the "pig burst" rudder, it must make a big bend! It was already too close to the paratroopers' rafts and canoes, and this turn and retreat was bound to be dangerous!
At this moment, Zmailman regretted a little, he should have accepted it when he saw it! Fortunately, he has eliminated a lot of enemies, and he has exposed his flanks close enough to the enemy! It's a wolf's den!
Just 700 meters away, here is the raft where Yang Mingzhi crossed the river. The raft was still slowly moving towards the opposite bank, and Natasha was already in a position.
Yang Mingzhi ordered: "Dear! Go hit the gunboat's wheelhouse and take out the helmsman! Don't let him turn! If not, shoot the stern of the ship and break its engine! ”
Natasha had a good understanding, and her clear orders, the beloved commander, preferred to get the gunboat and make it a weapon of the Soviet army again.
The girl was very composed, the raft was moving, she was constantly correcting the design angle, and the top of the triangular arrow of the PU scope was always aimed at the glass of the cab.
Let's say that her anti-tank robbery, which is two meters long, has been magically changed into an anti-tank sniper rifle!
The girl gently pulled the trigger, and with a crisp sound, her body shook. Two tandem muzzle brakes counteracted a lot of recoil, and the 14.5 mm huge original armor-piercing projectile with a height of more than 100 grams pierced the cab in an instant at a high speed of 1,100 meters per second.
This bullet was so lucky that it easily shattered the glass and hit the helmsman directly in the neck!
The kinetic energy of the bullet was so great that the helmsman's body was torn apart at the neck, and the whole person instantly turned into a bloody corpse.
Natasha could be sure that she had hit the cab, and Zmailman was not in the cab at the moment, after all, it was sunset, and she still couldn't see if she had hit the target.
The girl's right shoulder was a little sore, she pulled the bolt hard, pulled out the shell, and yelled at Igor: "Give me another armor-piercing bullet!" I'm going to make up for it! ”
Therefore, the cab ate a total of four armor-piercing shells, whether the enemy died or not, Natasha didn't know, and Yang Mingzhi didn't know. Until it became clear to them that the gunboat's direction of action had suddenly changed!
"Hey, hey? Are they trying to flee for their lives? Impossible! Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi knew everything, he put down the telescope excitedly, pinched the back of Natasha's neck recklessly, and roared excitedly: "Honey! You've done a great job! You've definitely killed the pilot, and now we have what it takes to capture the ship! ”
Zmailmann was on deck with an MP40 in hand, because the ship was going to make a big turn, which would have to lead to a shootout with the Russians. As a squad leader, he is not much different from an ordinary soldier.
With a steel helmet on his head, he waited for a fierce exchange of fire with the Russians, who would have thought that the driver would be killed in an instant?
Yes! Thinking that the gunfire was too violent, Zmailmann had no idea that the driver was dead. It wasn't until he suddenly realized that the gunboat's steering angle had not changed, but had begun to move quickly towards the side of the riverbank, that he panicked - it was too late!
