USSR 1941

The various units of the German army cooperated very well.

For example, the fire cover force used light and heavy machine guns to shoot crazily at the positions where snipers might be hidden on the upper floors of the building. At the same time, some snipers held sniper rifles and hid in the dark like hunters waiting for their prey.

But it didn't work.

On the one hand, this is because the Soviet army has made sufficient preparations before this.

That is to penetrate the compartments of the building, and the walls of the warehouse are thick and strong, and at the same time they are condescending, so they are basically immune to the light and heavy machine guns of the German army... Even though the bullets roared outside, the Soviet army could only You need to shrink your head to be safe.

On the other hand, it was because the German army at this time lacked individual direct-firing artillery such as rocket launchers.

This is actually a gap in the German firepower.

Obviously, mortars with curved ballistics cannot penetrate buildings, and are almost useless in this situation.

Although light and heavy machine guns are direct-firing weapons, the bullets are useless against solid walls. Even if they enter the building through doors and windows, the bullets will not explode, so they cannot pose a threat to the targets in the building.

At this time, there should be a kind of equipment that can drive shells or bombs into the building, so as to pose a threat to the snipers in the building.

It is not that the German army does not have such equipment, such as tanks and assault guns. The problem is that sometimes it is difficult for tanks and assault guns to provide reinforcements quickly, so the German army needs rocket launchers.

Fortunately, the German army at this time did not.

As a result, Soviet snipers could easily deal with German firepower.

The snipers stuck their heads out from time to time and killed the German machine gunners. The ones who could pose a threat to them were the German snipers hiding in the dark.

But it also happens to be their chance to train.

The German armored company was divided into four parts to attack from two main entrances and two side entrances.

The coordination between them is also in place, the tanks at the main entrance are slower...in fact, it is not that the tanks are slower, but that the Germans deliberately slow down so that the armored troops attacking the side entrance can enter the warehouse first.

This can be said to be a strategy of the German army.

Troops that are not in the main attack direction first enter the target for a wave of strikes and attract most of the enemy's firepower.

The main direction of attack can exert greater combat effectiveness, especially Captain Orff knows that the enemy is likely to have rocket launchers... He doesn't want the enemy's rocket launchers to kill the only two tanks in the armored company as soon as they come up.

"Three rows, four rows!" Orff ordered through the walkie-talkie: "Pay attention to the enemy's rocket launchers, don't worry about the ammunition, and suppress the enemy after entering the target!"

"Yes, Captain!"

What Orff said here "watch out for the enemy's rocket launchers" does not mean to make the third and fourth rows be careful of the enemy's rocket launchers, but to try to attract the target of the enemy's rocket launchers to himself, and strike from the flanks any possible main attack on the front. Position the threatening enemy bazooka shooter.

This is what Orff refers to as "overpowering the enemy".

This sounds cruel, requiring subordinates to sacrifice themselves to save others.

But the battlefield is so realistic sometimes, if the enemy has bazookas, if a few armored vehicles must be lost, then one thing for sure is that it will be much more cost-effective to replace the armored vehicles with tanks, even though it is the "Plant 2" tank.

With a sound of "long", two armored platoons rushed into the warehouse from the east and west doors respectively.

Just as Second Lieutenant Orff ordered, the two armored platoons were not stingy with their ammunition, and they "squeaked" as soon as they entered the warehouse.

The difference between the German Type 222 armored vehicle and the Type 223 armored vehicle is that the former pays more attention to firepower. It is equipped with a 20MM cannon and an MG34 machine gun.

The latter pays more attention to communication. It cancels the 20MM machine gun and retains the MG34 machine gun, and then installs radio equipment and antennas.

Therefore, the German armored forces often mixed Type 222 armored vehicles and Type 223 armored vehicles in platoon units, which can take into account both firepower and communication.

But no matter what type it is, several armored vehicles are equipped with machine guns and cannons, and their firepower is also very powerful.

In particular, the German soldiers were well-trained. As soon as several armored vehicles rushed into the warehouse, they launched in sequence and shot wildly at the positions in the warehouse where there might be hidden people. The infantry deployed behind to provide them with guidance and cover.

The advantage of armored vehicles is that their ability to perceive the outside world is much better than that of tanks. Soldiers hiding in them can see a larger range and can also hear external sounds, so they do not rely heavily on infantry. They can even move around flexibly and quickly Maneuver in the warehouse or change the angle to attack the enemy.

As a result, there were bursts of violent gunshots, and the boxes and sandbags in the warehouse were beaten to pieces, and the wreckage of the tank made a "clinking" sound like popping beans.

After fighting for a while, the platoon leaders in charge of the third and fourth platoons reported to Second Lieutenant Orff, "Safe!"

In fact, it's not just security, they didn't find an enemy at all, and there was no resistance.

But the Germans did not suspect this.

On the one hand, it was because they thought the enemy might be wiped out in an instant in the armored vehicle, but they didn't notice it.

After all, the target is a sniper, and the sniper hiding in the debris, it is normal for a row of bullets to kill him in the debris and fail to find it for a while.

On the other hand was Ensign Orff's order... "Watch out for the bazooka".

So they are nervous looking for or worrying about the enemy bazooka, because they know that only the bazooka will pose a threat to them in this situation.

In fact, Shulka is not without considering the bazooka.

But it is difficult for the bazooka to block the enemy's attack in this case.

The reason is that the bazooka will expose itself when it is fired... a thing that is carried on the shoulder, like a cannon, and half of the body is exposed, no matter where it hides, it will be discovered by the enemy at the first time and immediately attract a row of bullets.

Therefore, the rocket launcher is more suitable for the moment when the firepower suppresses the enemy, or on the chaotic battlefield.

It is almost courting death to use it at this time.

Then, Second Lieutenant Orff personally commanded two tank units, the first and second platoons, to break into the warehouse.

He immediately noticed the corpses of German soldiers strewn about in the warehouse, so he reported to Major Paul through the walkie-talkie: "They are all dead, they killed them before we came in!"

"Go to hell!" Major Paul hit the armored vehicle with his fist after hearing this, and then ordered: "Kill them all!"

"Yes, Major!"

But what Major Paul and Captain Orff didn't know was that what they needed to worry about wasn't the wounded at all, nor was it killing all the enemies.

They have to worry about themselves.
