USSR 1941

***********

At least one thing Major Luca guessed was right, that is, they were in danger this time.

But the Soviet army didn't even realize this at this time.

On rainy nights, coupled with the "rumble" of tanks and the explosion of mines, the Soviet tank crew and even the infantry behind did not realize that they had cleared the mines to the end and even caught up with the engineers who laid the mines.

The troops moved forward in such an unhurried manner, Shulka even fell asleep in the back compartment of the car in a daze, until a few flares suddenly rose in the sky, and then there was a burst of gunfire in the darkness ahead ...

Shulka ordered before opening his eyes: "Get out of the car!"

Teams of soldiers jumped out of the cars and ducked down behind the tanks.

Shulka's first reaction was that there was an ambush, but when he heard the gunshots, he realized that it didn't look like it.

If it was an ambush, the gunshots should have come from both sides of the road, but now the gunshots came from the front.

front?

Shouldn't the front be a minefield?

The next second Shulka knew what was going on.

"Comrade Second Lieutenant!" Shulka said to Davikov who had caught up to see the situation: "I think we should attack, we may catch up with the German engineers!"

"German engineers?" Davydov couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, I didn't expect us to have a chance for revenge!"

This kind of situation does not happen very often. One end of the deminer bumped into the engineer who laid the mine.

And Bray's engineers are really hated, which is a bit like the "discrimination" against snipers by both warring parties.

Snipers often do not confront infantry head-on, and always disappear from sight after killing a few people. This behavior is considered "sneaky" and "disgraceful". They executed and even tortured to death.

It is for this reason that experienced snipers will replace their sniper rifle with an ordinary rifle when they estimate that the position will be captured.

In this respect, the sappers of the enemy's mines are somewhat similar to snipers, because they are also "sneaky" and do not come into direct contact with infantry.

Even mine-laying sappers are more hated than snipers, because landmines often make it difficult for the entire army to move forward, and everyone is full of anger. More importantly, landmines only hurt people but not kill people, especially the German "S" type jumping mines... ...This thing is even more hated by Soviet soldiers.

These so-called "hate" are actually unreasonable, whether it is aimed at snipers, engineers, or political commissars of the Soviet army.

The two warring parties are trying their best to kill each other, which is normal, because this is the battlefield.

But at the same time, it is soldiers who fight on the battlefield, and soldiers have emotions and desires, especially under the pressure on the battlefield, they will artificially release pressure on certain arms, and after a long time... this kind of unreasonable and natural formation "Unwritten rules or can also be said to be habits".

It is the same now.

As soon as Davydov heard Shulka say that the opposite side might be enemy engineers, he said to the surrounding soldiers: "Have you all heard that? The ones who shot at us are probably German engineers, those engineers who laid mines on the road! "

"They actually picked up guns? I thought they only planted landmines!"

"Do you know what to do?" Davydov asked.

"Of course, Comrade Lieutenant!"

"Forward!" Davydov ordered: "Kill them all!"

Then the tank slowly moved forward again, the rollers in front of the tank were still rolling forward to clear mines, and the mortars in the rear had already fired rows of shells towards the enemy's position... No matter how you say it, the 9th Army is also a mechanized force that came all the way. ,

Now that the battle has been fought, they have also figured out how to cooperate in actual combat.

In fact, coordination is not a very complicated thing, but recruits often don't know when to do what. After fighting a few more battles, even if no one orders them, they know and do what they should do spontaneously.

After a few "booms", the tank ran over several anti-tank mines.

There must be a reason for the dense deployment of anti-tank mines. Shurka asked that it was just laid by German engineers, which meant that they had reached the end of the minefield.

Sure enough, as the tank continued to drive forward, there was no sound of mine explosions.

"I found the enemy!" The actor who poked his head out to observe shouted: "One hundred meters!"

"Mortar!" Davydov ordered without thinking.

The mortar mentioned here is the shovel mortar. This kind of equipment with a short range is especially useful in the low visibility situation... If you are far away, you can’t see it anyway. precision.

A mortar hit the past fiercely, and there was an explosion and screams from the opposite side.

This was an asymmetrical battle, and the enemy's firepower was completely suppressed by the Soviet army.

Because, as Shulka guessed, the Germans were engineers, and the other troops were Romanians, and the Romanians even started to run away after a few symbolic shots...they had reasons for doing so, lack of reaction tank equipment.

But the German army did not do this. Although they were engineers and lacked anti-tank equipment than the Romanian army, they rushed forward with explosive packs and anti-tank grenades.

However, this did not work, and these infantrymen who rushed up were quickly knocked down one by one by the Soviet infantrymen who followed the tanks.

Flares rose into the sky one after another, illuminating the entire battlefield in white.

At this time, the tank will occasionally stop, then turn the turret to aim at the front, and fire a shell towards the target with a "boom".

The tank was attacking the cars on the road... As soon as the shell passed, a car caught fire in the middle of the road, and this also illuminated the target for Shulka and others.

The battlefield took them a little by surprise, and there were enemies everywhere in chaos rushing to escape.

"Romanians!" Davydov said. "Of course there are German sappers, but we have already broken through their lines!"

Shulka knew this, because at their feet were the corpses of German soldiers.

"Boys, what are you waiting for?" Davydov shouted, "Come on!"

"Come on!" The Soviet soldiers shouted and killed the Romanian army...

This is the law of the jungle on the battlefield.

If you belong to a team that can fight or have a reputation, then the opponent will always be careful to adopt conservative tactics.

But if they know that the opponent is a weak team, they will let go of their hands and feet and make a big kill.

Just like now, after the Soviet soldiers discovered that the Romanian army was on the opposite side, they charged with confidence, just like the wolves were unwilling to let their food run away from their mouths.
