The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Of course, this does not mean that the 1st Infantry Regiment jumped out of its hiding place and launched an attack in a swarm.

"There are two difficulties in the attack!" After climbing from the front to the rear, Colonel Slaine said to the map with a flashlight under the cover of his poncho: "We are five hundred meters away from the enemy. Judging from the reconnaissance situation, this section of the road is different from ours. It’s just as muddy as anything I’ve ever encountered before!”

Bazel and the other officers couldn't help but feel cold on their faces. They knew what this meant. It was impossible to run fast on the muddy road, let alone run. It was difficult to walk.

The result is that... it may give the enemy sufficient preparation time to organize a defense.

"Another difficulty!" Colonel Slain said: "The enemy may flee in all directions after being attacked, which is not conducive to our attack on the power station!"

This worry is also necessary. You must know that this is in the dark and the enemy has much more troops than the German army. The most feared thing in this situation is that the enemy will be scattered, because it will make the German army at a loss and do not know which enemy group to pursue. Wherever the enemy is, you will fall into chaos.

"The first difficulty!" Bazel said: "We can send commandos to lurk in front of the enemy's positions and launch a sudden attack!"

The officers nodded.

This is a common attack method used by the German army. The commando team does not need many people. For example, a company sometimes only has one or two platoons. Obviously, such a small number of people cannot destroy the enemy, but their role is not small... they can be used at the first time. The enemy army fell into chaos and was unable to organize a defense. When the follow-up troops came up one after another, the enemy had no power to fight back.

But the second problem still cannot be solved, and this battle may still turn into a chaos.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said: "We can attack from three sides and drive the Soviets along the road towards the power station!"

"I don't think it's appropriate to do this!" Bazel objected: "It's impossible to identify in the dark, and the troops are divided into several directions and it's easy to be accidentally injured!"

Qin Chuan said: "We can tell it from the sound of gunshots. The gunshots of MP43 are easy to identify!"

The officers couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

There is no doubt about this. The MP43 uses intermediate-power ammunition. Since the charge is less than that of a rifle and more than that of a submachine gun, the sound of the gun is between that of a rifle and a submachine gun. The most special thing is that it can fire continuously. So it's easy to differentiate.

"A very good idea!" Colonel Slain ordered: "Just like the captain said, divide into three parts and pay attention to the sound of gunfire!"

The combat plan was quickly implemented. The soldiers of the infantry regiment used the cover of darkness to maneuver to the combat position... There were two companies and two assault platoons in each direction. The main force in the middle included an extra company because of the larger attack surface. , the remaining two companies were used as reserves.

From this we can also see the command quality of German officers.

If ordinary troops encountered this situation, it would be difficult to organize them into battle as quickly as this. The reason is that there must be unified command in each direction. Under normal circumstances, a battalion is put into each direction, so naturally there will be a battalion commander. The soldiers also know who they should report to if something goes wrong with their orders.

But as now, with insufficient troops and commanders and still in the dark, the troops can be randomly grouped into companies and platoons in various directions in an orderly manner. Perhaps only the German army can do it.

Following Colonel Slaine's order, commandos from all directions began to crawl forward.

Crawling in the mud is not an easy task, because it often takes a lot of effort and makes noise, especially since the soldiers have to hold the gun in their hands and move forward with their elbows... This is because they are worried that the MP43 has entered the sewage. Stuck.

However, the German soldiers had received relevant training during training. On the other hand, the muddy ground gave them good camouflage. Several times, the Soviet sentries noticed something and shone their flashlights into the darkness, but nothing happened. Anomalies are found.

Finally, the walkie-talkie signaled readiness from all directions. Colonel Slain looked at his watch and gave the order to the mortar behind him: "Fire!"

"Boom, boom!" After a few sounds, more than ten mortars fired a row of shells in the direction of the Soviet army.

Fire broke out in the Soviet position, and several tents and Soviet troops were blown up into the air in an instant. The Soviet sentry did not realize what had happened, and subconsciously turned around to stare at the fire behind him in a daze... From this It can also be seen that these Soviet troops in front of them are not experienced veterans, otherwise they should have sensed the danger and got down at the first time.

It took a while for these Soviet sentries to realize the problem. They turned around and looked into the dark void with terrifying eyes... But it was too late. After a few gunshots, the Soviet sentries were knocked to the ground. , then the German commandos got up from the ground, knelt down and raised their guns to shoot at the Soviet troops who hurriedly emerged from the tents.

At the same time, the main force of the German army also shouted and rushed towards the Soviet camp.

Several rounds of flares rose into the air, instantly illuminating the frightened faces in the Soviet camp. They hurriedly raised their guns to fight back, but before they could fire a few bullets, they were knocked to the ground by a hail of bullets fired from the darkness... ...MP43's high rate of fire and much greater lethality than submachine guns were put to good use at this time. In actual combat, it was found that they could not only completely suppress the Soviet Bobosha submachine gun, but even if they cooperated with each other, two MP43s could take turns shooting. Can easily suppress enemy machine guns.

Therefore, the energy that was unleashed at the moment of the attack was almost unimaginable. At least in this era, there were no troops with such powerful firepower.

Rows of Soviet soldiers fell down screaming, and many fell into a pool of blood before they even realized what was going on... In fact, even the Germans themselves were not mentally prepared for this.

Although they all knew that the MP43 was an excellent rifle before, they still had images of bolt-action rifle attacks in their minds. After all, they had been fighting with bolt-action rifles for some time, which had limited their imagination.

But now when the fight started, I felt the pleasure of rows of bullets flying out of the rifle and heading straight towards the enemy. I felt that the enemy's team was as fragile as a plate of loose sand. I looked at the helplessness and fear in their eyes... They suddenly I found that the battle seemed to become easier.

The consequence of this was that the expulsion mentioned in the plan was almost empty talk, because the Soviet troops had no time to escape, and the muddy road also limited their escape speed, so groups of Soviet troops struggled in panic in the camp. Screaming, screaming, crying.

But in the end they could not escape the fate of being annihilated, and only a few hundred people fled in a hurry towards Sevastopol.
