Natasha and ten of her soldiers belonged directly to Balzen, and it was very unfortunate that these young soldiers were in a position that was just within the fire range of the enemy artillery.

Does the enemy have artillery? The Soviets really didn't think about it at first, first, these soldiers were indeed not afraid of death, and their own artillery fire was enough to blow up Loyev!

Therefore, Balzen's decision to move the front forward to the edge of the forest was also approved by Yang Mingzhi. At such a distance, the German platoon level was equipped with a small 50-mm mortar, and its firing range could not reach the Soviet positions. If the Germans had high-quality artillery, they had to pull it out, but by doing so, they were exposing themselves, and the consequence was that they were the first to be destroyed.

Even Yang Mingzhi forgot that this group of Germans might have more advanced mortars, because his mind was entirely on this encirclement and reinforcement operation.

The mortar shells falling from the sky are very powerful, with a radius of 20 meters, and the shock wave can blow people away, with a radius of 50 meters, and shrapnel can even penetrate the bodies of two people.

Some of the shells were blocked by tree branches, and as a result, they exploded in mid-air.

In terms of maximizing the lethality performance, there is nothing more than the mid-air explosion of artillery shells, just like the shrapnel widely used in World War I.

Drochenko and Talakova, two fourteen-year-old girls, formed a sniper team, comrades lying in the same foxhole.

Some shells exploded around them, and the air wave caused by the powerful shock wave had already blown away some of their comrades, and they also saw that many of them were already running wildly to the rear.

"Qiusha! Let's run now, we'll be blown up if we continue like this!" "Drochenko, as she said yesterday, there was so much artillery fire around her, she was not afraid.

Tarakova, however, curled up in a ball, did not move at all.

"Qiusha, what are you doing? We must retreat! ”

Tarakova screamed hoarsely: "No, we'd better huddle in foxholes!" Don't run either, it's too dangerous! ”

"Phew! Our comrades-in-arms are retreating, and we will not be blown up until we stay here! I can't ignore your life and retreat on my own. ”

Therefore, Drochenko did not talk nonsense, grabbed Tarakova's slender arm, and joined the retreating army.

In fact, when the infantry in the position was hit by artillery fire, all they could do was pray that the shells would not blow themselves up. However, artillery shells are not long-sighted, and large-caliber shells can even blow up two meters of soil, not to mention soldiers?

This shelling path is quite special, because there is a large number of pine trees to cover, and the dense trunks have blocked a lot of shrapnel.

So what are you doing in the position? It is better to give full play to the super mobility of the troops and escape outside the area covered by enemy artillery in one minute. Besides, in terms of the density of fire, the enemy artillery is really not very good.

As the old saying goes, cannonballs don't grow eyes.

The two girls were running behind with their rifles in their hands, and a mortar shell went through a gap in a tree branch and exploded just ten meters away from them.

The powerful wave of qi blew the two slender girls away, and they were really unlucky.

The hapless Drochenko hit a big tree, and his back was smashed hard, and after falling, the whole person wilted, but fortunately, the consciousness did not disappear.

Even more unlucky was Tarakova, who was dragged by Drodchenko to flee for her life, and without thinking about it, she almost killed herself.

Even if she is still alive, she is no longer the original intact girl!

The blast tore through one of her arms, blasting her left arm and burrowing a shrapnel into her leg. She fell heavily to the ground, and after a dozen seconds of trance, the intense pain stimulated her to struggle frantically.

And all this was seen by the painful Drochenko.

"Qiusha! Tyusha! ”

Drochenko could no longer call out loudly, and besides, her own situation was just as dangerous. Shells exploded around them, and hapless soldiers were killed or wounded.

However, the casualties were in the minority, and after the enemy artillery bombardment, a large part of the soldiers quickly ran away with their equipment, and veterans like Natasha acted quite quickly to evade tactics. There are even some veterans, who practice earth escape, and the artillery holes they stubbornly dig out are also perfectly avoided by enemy artillery.

The German artillery fire lasted a total of seven minutes, and a total of 100 shells were fired. However, the 80-mm mortar shells were very powerful, and the frontal positions of Balzen's reconnaissance battalion were already covered with large and small craters.

Seeing that the enemy artillery was over, Balzen immediately ordered: "All return to the front line of the position and give me a counterattack!" ”

Buraubarzen ordered, and the besieging troops in the other three directions began to counterattack with artillery, but the Soviet shells hit the city of Loyev, and the German puppet army quickly burrowed into the cellars like moles.

Natasha didn't know what had happened to the young soldier under her command after the shelling. Everyone's sniper positions are scattered, whose area has always been safe, whose area is within the range of shelling, it is their own choice, whether to escape or be injured, can only compete with luck.

When most of the Soviet troops were bombarded by enemy artillery, it took only three minutes to run softly, especially the recoilless guns, which were directly carried to the guns, and because the ammunition was packed separately from ammunition and medicine, the soldiers only fled with wooden boxes full of projectiles.

Thus, the German artillery fire did not cause the detonation of the ammunition of the Soviet front, and did not kill or wound many people.

But the casualties were real, and the enemy artillery counterattack was like an uppercut, slamming into Balzen's face.

His face hurt from the blow, and a stormy counterattack began. It was indeed necessary for him to vent his firepower, because this round of artillery bombardment by the German army was not to be an artillery preparation for its breakthrough.

The vast number of fighters returned to their combat posts, and for the wounded they found, they were pulled to one place whenever they saw them, whether they were dead or alive.

The casualties of her comrades touched Natasha's heart, and many veterans with experience in destroying the enemy suddenly died in the sudden shelling. This situation is already common on the battlefield!

She had medical training, and even worked as an unreliable surgeon, with the ability to perform surgery to remove shrapnel. Seeing the wailing wounded, she not only wavered.

"Natasha! Hurry up, the enemy may want to break through, you have to kill a few more, don't rub it off! Igor urged loudly.

"Good...... Good! ”

Suddenly, there was a peculiar wail in her ears. It was definitely not a man's wail, a man couldn't make those delicate sounds.

It's a woman!

The thought crossed her mind, and she knew she shouldn't be on the front line of the shells.

"Igor!"

"Alas! Come with me, don't rub shoulders. ”

"I can't go any further!"

"What?" Igor also stopped and turned his head suddenly, "You ......"

"Someone is hurt! It's my man, or it's my woman. Come with me, the artillery fire on the front line is enough to suppress the enemy, I think I should go and save people now! ”

"Woman hurt? What the hell! Igor understood the situation in an instant, he stomped his foot hard, and with a huge anti-tank robbery, he followed Natasha and ran towards the place where the wailing came from.
