921 Red Turkachi
Some holes can be plugged with fingers, while others can't be done with fingers to gamble.
For example, the big hole carved out by the German G armored cluster in the southern defense line cannot be blocked with one hand or even tens of thousands of hands.
Rokossovsky's counterattack here was designed to plug the hole and keep the passage between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.
Fierce fighting broke out at Red Tekach, with the Soviets hoping to recapture the key point, while the Germans wanted to hold it until the Soviets were unable to regain their position.
"Ahh A charging Soviet soldier was punched a hole by a machine-gun bullet that pierced his chest and blood flew behind him.
The condescending German machine-gun position was a nightmare for the Soviet attacking soldiers, and the sound of sawing wood was literally like a chainsaw, cutting the charging man to the ground.
It seems that no matter how many times they charge, the German machine guns are always able to roar in an unexpected place, so that the Soviets can only retreat in despair.
"Shell me! Shelling! A Soviet officer pinched the phone in his hand and shouted loudly into the phone: "If you don't end the enemy's artillery positions, how can my soldiers rush up?" ”
"We've done our best! Homosexuals! After a round of shelling, we had to immediately shift our positions, otherwise the German Stuka would have killed us! The voice on the other side of the phone was depressed, and it was clear that the artillerymen were not having a good time.
The air supremacy overhead has been lost, so the Soviet artillery can only exert one-tenth or even one-twentieth of its combat effectiveness.
"Without artillery support, my troops would not have been able to attack at all! Damn it! Hanging up the phone in his hand, the Soviet commander scolded his mother.
"Let the soldiers rush again...... That's all there is to it. The commissar looked at the commander and opened his mouth to suggest.
The commander didn't have a good idea, so he could only nod his head and order: "Let the troops rush again!" Be sure to break through the German lines. ”
The next shelling will have to wait at least an hour, and who knows if in an hour the German reinforcements will arrive in Red Tekach?
In any case, no one has accurate information, after all, the German army attacked quickly, but often did not receive effective support and supplementation.
Obviously, this advance force commanded by Karyus this time was not able to receive timely support and supplementation.
Karyus's tank is well camouflaged, leaning against a large tree, and under cover from the bushes, it is almost impossible to tell that there is a deadly Leopard tank here.
He poked his head out to observe his surroundings and saw two German infantrymen in the distance on the infantry position, bending over to the other side.
The Soviets have been attacking for one hour and have launched three large-scale attacks, but they have not even been able to break through the first line of defense deployed by the Germans.
"The most impressive people today may be those infantrymen." To the left of Caryus, Loader William also poked his head out, as he was about to use the loader to cover the retreating infantry through the clearing in front of him.
Karjus did not take his eyes off, he was still holding a telescope and looking at the German defense line in the distance: "I don't want to be in the limelight, I want to win, win this battle!" ”
Whether it is a frenzied attack or a stubborn defense now, it is all about helping one's army win the war as soon as possible, not to win any war merits for oneself.
In Karyus's telescope, two German soldiers ran in the direction of his tank, keeping their bodies as low as they could.
"Attention! There is a case! Get ready to fire to cover them! Karjus commanded, and then the loader William pulled the bolt of the machine gun.
Seeing that two German soldiers climbed the small hill in front of them, then ran to the side of the tank car, they shouted: "Is there any ammunition?" Bullet chains for machine guns! ”
The intensity of the fighting at the front was so unexpected that the ammunition carried by the German infantry was strained.
"Our machine guns are running out of ammunition, and there are barrels! The barrel is also in need of us! "The two retreating infantrymen came to ask for ammunition and supplies, and the infantry position could obviously hold out a little longer.
"Boom!" A mortar shell landed about 200 meters in front of the German position, where German support fire was suppressing the charging Soviet troops.
Two Stuka dive bombers circled over the battlefield, having dropped all their bombs and could only use their machine guns to strafe targets on the ground to support the Germans.
"William! Give them ammo! Karyus had extra ammunition on his tank, and he knew it was safer to keep some for himself, but it was clear that the infantry needed them more at this time.
William heard Karjus's order and slipped out of his hatch. He opened the glove compartment on the side of the Leopard tank and handed the spare ammunition inside to the infantry under the tank.
In general, German tanks have fixed ammunition for machine guns, but there are many ways to get ammunition for ace tank crews.
They only had to report a random ammunition consumption, and the statistician would not investigate too carefully and would approve the distribution of the number they requested.
Therefore, on the tank where Karyus is located, there are actually a lot of spare ammunition for machine guns. While helping to deliver ammunition to the bottom of the tank, Karyus asked, "Is the loss big?" ”
"Those Soviets are crazy! We lost 4 dead and a dozen wounded. Soviets? Almost 500 people? Or more. One of the soldiers hung a chain around his neck and replied to Kaljus.
Soon, the two infantrymen carried a chain box in one hand and a loose chain around their necks, and ran hard towards the position from which they came.
With these bullets, they can also hold out in positions for a long time, and as long as the tanks of the Soviets do not come up, everything is fine.
Anyway, they have a lot of experience in blocking the Soviet infantry tactics, and they can use the variable crossfire to easily crush the Soviet advance.
"The vanguard of the 1st Panzer Division is approaching us...... As long as they held out for a few more hours, the Soviets would have no choice but to retreat. "On the radio, the commander of the infantry company was cheering everyone up.
Karyus smiled, this was not a difficult task for them, because after all, the infantry positions in front of them were still there, and with their foxholes here, it was not easy for the Soviets to go to Red Tekach.
"We're having a lot of fun! The tanks of the Soviets came up! In the next second, on the radio, the company commander of the anti-tank gun company on the flank, a somewhat bitter voice suddenly came.

There are two more, it may be very late, so let's watch it tomorrow morning.
