The engine "rumbled", and the tracks "creaked" on the steel plates, making a sharp screeching sound that made people feel the itching of the bones.

Qin Chuan and a group of soldiers followed closely behind the tanks and slowly advanced towards the Soviet position, and the shells exploded in front of them, which was the mortar fire provided by the infantry who provided them with fire cover behind...... Mortars are easier to coordinate than long-range guns, as the gunner observes the armored unit from a short rear and then adjusts to push the shells forward.

Soon the Soviets began to return fire.

But as Qin Chuan expected, the Soviet infantry in front of him lacked anti-tank equipment, because all that flew from the opposite side were bullets and mortar shells.

But of course, these things could not cause much damage to the tank, which was still advancing at a speed of about ten kilometers per hour, closer and closer, closer and closer......

At any other time, the Soviets would have fledgled out of the trenches in droves, but this is not the case now.

Qin Chuan knew what they were doing this for...... Order No. 227, not to take a step back.

In fact, it is more accurate to say that Stalin personally flew to Stalingrad to mobilize in a certain way, that is, the "punishment battalions" and "interception teams" are more deterrent...... After all, an order is just an order, and although it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, the military discipline of the Soviet army is lax, and disobedience to orders often occurs, and over time, quite a number of soldiers do not take orders very seriously.

But the "punishment camp", this is a concrete measure.

Every soldier will think in his heart: instead of being placed in a punishment camp with shame and even the shame of his family, it is better to die heroically as a hero.

Therefore, even if they are extremely scared in their hearts, even if they are unwilling, no matter how much they are nostalgic for this world, they still have to make the right choice in the end...... Hold your ground and not retreat a single step.

Several Soviet soldiers jumped out of the smoke of the shells and rushed to the paving tank with frantic shouts, holding in their hands the explosives bags that had already lit the fuse.

In a way, these Soviet soldiers did the right thing. The Paving Tank had steel plates in front of them, so they could not be seen and could not shoot or fire at them.

But after following the paving tanks, the German soldiers were already prepared. They leaned out and raised their guns as soon as possible, and then pulled the trigger on the Soviet soldiers without mercy......

After all the gunshots rang out, the Soviet soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

In the face of the MP43's firepower, this suicidal charge had little chance.

The explosive package exploded more than 20 meters in front of the tank, and its effect was to blow a crater out of the ground.

A Soviet soldier crawls slowly through the mud with a bundle of cluster grenades.

He was clever and had a mortal mind, as evidenced by the fact that he disguised himself with mud and then estimated the direction of the paving tank and lay still on his stomach...... In this case, who can spot a target lying on the ground and not moving? The vast majority of people thought it was a corpse.

So, he just had to wait for the tank to drive in front of him, and then pull the grenade to do what he had to do.

But Qin Chuan still found him, because his legs were trembling unconsciously, maybe even he didn't realize this, and at the same time, he couldn't control it, because it was the fear of death of human beings, even if it was a veteran of a hundred battles, few people could face it calmly.

Qin Chuan did not relent, his index finger gently pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew out and hit his head...... Then his legs stopped shaking.

With a crisp "clang", a paving tank stopped moving.

Qin Chuan realized that this must be some kind of direct-fire anti-tank weapon, but it didn't sound like an anti-tank gun, it was more likely to be an anti-tank gun.

Looking in the opposite direction of the paving tank, I saw a long gun barrel sticking out of the center of several sandbags.

It was the Soviet PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle.

This thing can be considered a new weapon, because at the time of the Battle of Moscow it had only produced 77 and urgently equipped the Soviet army, but a year later at the Battle of Stalingrad...... The Soviet army was equipped with more than 60,000 units, so much so that the German army was very troubled by it.

THE REASON IS THAT IT IS VERY POWERFUL, IT CAN PENETRATE 100MM ARMOR AT A DISTANCE OF 50 METERS, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE "THREE" TANK IS ONLY 47MM.

However, because of its one-sided emphasis on the power of anti-tank, it is not suitable for individual firing equipment...... It weighs 20 kilograms and needs two people to carry one after the other on the battlefield to move quickly.

To make matters worse, it is said that the gunshots that use it can only fire three rounds per person: one shot from the right shoulder, then switch to the left shoulder, wait for the right shoulder to breathe and then fire another shot, and if you want to make one more shot, you will not be able to withstand the recoil.

A Soviet shooter once described the feeling of firing a gun like this: it was like being kicked in the shoulder by a donkey.

Either way, it had already fired a shot and pierced a pave tank.

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't let it continue, so he raised his rifle and aimed at the back of the sandbag, and when he saw a head popping out to observe, he "banged" it out.

The tank was getting closer and closer to the Soviet trenches, and it seemed that it was approaching a distance of 50 meters to throw grenades......

Approaching this position almost meant that the Soviets had no chance, as the Germans only had to lean out to drop patches of grenades into Soviet trenches, and most of their grenades would be blocked by tanks.

Then it is conceivable that the Germans only need to charge with the aftermath of grenades, and this line of defense of the Soviet army will not exist.

At this moment, I saw rows of grenades thrown from the direction of the Soviet army, and after the explosion, I heard the Soviet army shouting, and climbed out of the trench one after another in the smoke and charged the German army.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but praise in his heart...... This should be the credit of the Soviet commander, the counter-charge was launched at the right time.

It was too early, the distance between us and the enemy was too long, and they all died before they could rush to the front.

It's too late, and you'll have to face a rain of enemy grenades.

Judging by this, the commanders of the Soviet army still had some combat experience.

If the Germans were armed with bolt rifles at this time, it was very likely that they would have been rushed into the ranks for hand-to-hand combat, and it is conceivable that the tanks would not be able to play a role in this case.

But the problem is that the first corps is armed with MP43.
