Chapter 9: Brave ()

Behind a small bush, Lin Neng stared at the Soviet combat unit that was slowly advancing along the road, 4 T-34, 3 BT tanks, 3 wheeled armored vehicles, 7 trucks towing cannons, and hundreds of Soviet troops marching on the side of the convoy. Among the three Soviet troops passing here, this was the weakest, but it was still stronger than the combat unit that was temporarily formed by two armored vehicles and four or five hundred infantry on the side of the German army. Moreover, most of the people here retreated from the front positions, not only lacking heavy weapons, but also not much ammunition left in the hands of the soldiers.

Lin Neng, who had already exhausted all the bullets, only got another 10 rifle bullets under the coordination of the "butcher".

As the Soviet vehicles approached, the German soldiers in the woods also made final preparations. Several mg-34 or 42 machine guns were set up in the best shooting position, and the machine gunners carefully pulled the bolts and fired at a command; two 80mm light mortars were arranged in the middle section, but the remaining ammunition could not support them to exert their power for a long time; soldiers using infantry anti-tank weapons and light mortars were concentrated in the teams preparing to attack, and several large soldiers strictly guarded the only "doll" anti-tank rocket launcher - while retreating in a panic, they tried their best to retain the equipment weighing 100 kilograms, and the merits of these soldiers were fully worthy of an Iron Cross.

At this moment, two German armored vehicles covered with a large number of branches and leaves and were almost "moving bushes" were still ambushing on the west side of the woods. Since the trees formed an arc-shaped top angle about 500 meters from the three-way intersection, the Soviet troops heading northwest along the highway could not directly observe them. If they wanted to attack the Soviet army, they had to move forward about 100 meters to obtain a shooting angle. Therefore, when the German infantry were about to open fire, they started in advance and rumbled forward. The sound of this mechanical sound was particularly clear in the quiet woods. Fortunately, the Soviet soldiers were disturbed by the roar of their own tanks and vehicles, and did not notice the crisis hidden on the side of the woods at all.

"Bohek-Zum-Kamp!"

The officers pressed their voices to remind the soldiers to be ready for battle at any time, and the sound of pulling the bolts suddenly gathered into pieces. Immediately afterwards, some of the leaders' non-commissioned officers, including the "butcher", once again told their soldiers their respective combat deployments. Fortunately, the "butcher" not only used gestures, but also used branches to draw minimalist combat maps on the mud. Lin En knew that his team would rush out of the woods after the battle began and encircle the Soviet troops. There was no doubt that this was a very dangerous job. In the past, Lin En might have complained that his superiors did not know how to rude, but in this battlefield filled with blood and fire, if everyone was afraid of war, the side at an extreme disadvantage would have to wait for death!

The battle is about to begin. Lin En, who has experienced six battles personally, is still nervous, and the depressed atmosphere even makes him almost hold his breath. In the previous position defense battle, what he did most of the time was to avoid artillery fire and keep firing. This will be the first time he participated in a field battle in his life. The unknown prospects made him unhappy, but he had a sense of desire to fight in his heart.

boom!

The deafening sound of cannons rang out almost without warning. The shells instantly hit the rear body of the T-34 that was driving to the fork in the road. The timing and position were just right! Lin En didn't have time to drink it for his armored soldiers, and the sound of machine guns that were "torched apart linen" sounded densely, and the 80mm mortars were also speaking out - their normal range reached 2,400 meters, and the shortest distance from the edge of the woods to the kilometers was only about 500 meters.

The sound of cannons was the horn of the attack. The "butcher" jumped up suddenly, shouting "Angriff" and rushed out of the woods with a submachine gun. There was no hesitation at all! Following the other soldiers in the team, Lin Neng quickly got up, holding the Mauser rifle that had removed the bayonet with both hands and strode forward. They rushed out of the woods in a blink of an eye, and the sunlight outside was so bright and dazzling. When Lin Neng's eyes adapted to the changes in light, he found that many soldiers around him were running with all their might, as if a marathon participated by a hundred people. These soldiers did not rush straight towards the Soviet convoy, but were diagonally inserted into the head.

At the rear of the Soviet convoy, about 200 meters was a depression parallel to the highway. Its slope was very gentle, and the most recess was less than one meter away from the road, about forty meters long and five meters wide, which was the only natural terrain that could be used outside the woods. The German soldiers at the front arrived at the depression and headed towards the side of the road, and used rifles, submachine guns and machine guns to fire violently at the Soviet soldiers who were organizing defense on the spot. The soldiers behind, including the squad led by the "butcher", were quickly dispersed to the concave front, and used their respective weapons to fire at the Soviet infantrymen who were only about 300 meters apart.

When the German infantry brought two 50mm light mortars and only one "doll" to the depression position, the German armored vehicle with 75mm guns had fired four consecutive times. Except for the first attack, the T-34, the other three were shooting at the less-thick BT tank. Another German armored vehicle rushed out extremely bravely, maneuvering at the open space at full speed, and using the vehicle-mounted 80mm mortars and machine guns to fire at the Soviet army.

The Soviet army in front of him was obviously not a novice on the battlefield. Even if they were suddenly ambushed, they were not in chaos. Tanks, armored vehicles and accompanying infantry quickly began to fight back, but they seemed not very inconsistent in the direction of the shooting - this was the only opportunity for the German army to take advantage of!

Because there were only 10 rounds of bullets, Lynn was very cautious in every shot, aiming, holding his breath and holding his rifle with all his strength, so that it could tremble as small as possible when it fired. He fired two shots like this, and suddenly heard a "swoosh" behind him, and the strange smell of gunpowder came with it. He looked around and found that it was the "doll"! In his memory, this heavy anti-tank rocket launcher could penetrate the armor of T-34 within the effective range, but due to the high cost and complex process, and the severe damage of German military industry in the late war was severely damaged by Allied bombings, the number of equipment was relatively limited.

The 300 meters are located within the effective range of the "doll". I think the German officers have already calculated it. The first rocket accurately hit a BT tank in the rear of the Soviet convoy. The specific model is Linn, but when he saw it instantly shrouded in the flames of the explosion, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

Two 50mm light mortars have also been transported to this depression, and the terrain just provides them with an excellent shooting position. After the first pass, the German lieutenant wearing black leather gloves loudly reported the correction parameters. After adjustment, their second pass shot hit the mortar shells into the convoy, and the Soviet soldiers who were shooting on vehicles and roadbeds were immediately blown over.

Lynn continued to pull the bolt, aim and shoot, and then three times. He retreated to the depression to load the bullets, and another soldier who used a rifle immediately filled his position. After loading the bullets, Lynn was able to observe the situation on the battlefield while waiting: four of seven Soviet tanks had been blown up, and one armored vehicle was also shot and caught fire. The firepower of the Soviet army suddenly weakened a lot, but the German armored vehicle intended to attract the enemy's fire was also hit, and it was burning in the wilderness. The remaining three Soviet tanks were still destroying the hiding place of the German armored assault vehicle with artillery fire. Several big trees were blown up in the waist. The flashing flames and the smoke filled the gun. It made people sweat for the assault vehicle.

"Angeli-Fur!"

Suddenly, with a loud slogan, the German soldiers lying on the edge of the depression suddenly burst out with a powerful shout and quickly stood up and charged forward. Lin Neng's reaction was a little delayed, and was thrown by the "butcher" for more than ten meters. He hurriedly climbed out of the depression from the machine gunner who was still shooting, and then rushed forward with a rifle. He was suppressed by the enemy's attack for two days. One day he became an attacker, and his aggrievance suddenly felt much more relieved.

Under the joint strangulation of various German weapons, although the Soviet infantry on the opposite side were very casualties, they were still shooting with all their might, and were equipped with a large number of Teggalev light machine guns and "Poposha". The firepower in melee combat was also quite strong. Although the German infantry who were put into the attack was carrying combat equipment, it only took about one minute to run over 300 meters. The short road was full of danger, and bullets flew past them, and the density was increasing. Lin En was panicked, but he didn't feel afraid at all. He just used the "butcher" as the only benchmark to rush forward.

Finally, the "butcher" stopped and saw him stepping forward with his left leg, pressing down his right leg, bowing his upper body slightly, holding the submachine gun and firing.

Like the "butcher", experienced German soldiers started firing at the first time. Faced with such a rapid attack from the German army, some Soviet soldiers were still lying on the north side of the roadbed to shoot, some people stood up and turned to deal with the German soldiers who had already rushed to the side, and some people were in a panic and lost their direction and retreated to the front of the convoy. In this case, the German soldiers who had the upper hand in momentum launched a close-range "slaughter", mp38/40 sang happily, and the Luger p08 and Walter p38 in the hands of the officers also played their role to the extreme. A few infantrymen who used mp44 even shot the Soviet soldiers who tried to retreat with terrifying efficiency in the semi-automatic shooting state.
