Chapter 538: airflow
The phone line can be connected. In order to prevent the phone line from being reused by the German army, the Soviet soldiers usually pulled the end of the phone line hard... The German communication soldiers were naturally unwilling to let the phone line be dragged away by the enemy. The two sides competed with each other, and soon they were disconnected with a "beep".
Sometimes the battlefield is so magical, the enemy and the enemy are so close and invisible to each other, but there is a tug of war over the phone line.
However, the German army did not let it go. After a short rest, they quickly launched a new round of offensive.
Blood, death, corpses... The cruelty of war filled every corner of Mamayev Gang.
The German army used smoke bombs on a large scale in the subsequent charge.
This is the right choice. In this special battle, that is, in the battle where the German army occupies the front **** and the Soviet army occupies the reverse slope, for the German army, it is a situation where the enemy is in the dark. Expose yourself to the enemy's sight and gunpoint, and then you will be shot down one by one like a target.
In contrast to the Soviet army, they hid in bunkers, behind stones, or even in bunkers.
Although the smoke grenade will make you unable to see clearly, at least it can change this disadvantage as much as possible, making it difficult for both the enemy and us to find the target.
The result is close hand-to-hand combat time and time again.
The entire battlefield was covered in whiteness, like a thick fog, and even though it was daytime, nothing could be seen.
All that can be detected are the faint sound of footsteps in the "dense fog" and the noise of German equipment colliding with each other.
"Free fire!" Shulka ordered.
At this time, any order is inaccurate, because the position of the enemy cannot be judged.
However, Shulka raised his gun and fired a shot into the smoke, and soon there was a scream.
This scene surprised Vasily who was lurking nearby.
Since the Germans used smoke bombs, the sniper company had to move from a distance to the reverse **** position... Snipers don't have sharp eyes, and in this case they can only shorten the distance if they want to be effective.
Vassily's surprise was that when Shulka shot, he didn't see the target in the smoke at all, and there was still nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness.
Is it a coincidence?
Shuerka shot a random shot and just hit it?
But soon Vasily discovered that this was not the case.
Because Shulka pulled the trigger again to fire, there was another muffled snort in the thick smoke.
This made Vasily feel relieved. He was always very confident in his sniper skills, but at this moment he found that he couldn't grasp the clue at all.
If it was an accident or the conditions were unfair to meet the "breakout hero" on the battlefield before, then Vasily has really lost.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Vasily and Shulka were in a hostile position, and Shulka found him but Vasily saw nothing, then of course Vasily was the one who died.
After observing for a while, Vasily realized when Shulka fired the third shot... Due to the strong wind on the top of the mountain and the presence of people, the smoke will have some slight changes.
For example, if the smoke flows abnormally in a certain position, it is because someone blocks the wind or runs and leaps in it.
Thinking of this, Vasily also raised his gun and aimed at the position where the smoke changed.
After hesitating for a while, Vasily moved the front sight a little earlier.
Because he realized one thing: the change of the smoke is lagging behind, and it is produced after the person leaps forward, that is, when he sees the target has already passed the position.
Then he pulled the trigger, and there was a "bang", and there was a scream in the smoke.
"Hit!" Vasily cheered in his heart.
Then, Vasily cast admiring eyes in the direction of Shulka.
Vassily knows that this is not just a competition, which at least shows that the observation and analysis skills of the "breakout hero" are better than his own, and this is the decisive factor in the confrontation between masters.
Of course Shulka didn't know this, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
Because at this time the German army had rushed up with a shout, under the cover of several mortar shells.
The reason for "several rounds" is because the German army did not dare to fire too many mortars under such circumstances.
On the side of the reverse slope, the German army occupies the high place and the Soviet army occupies the low place.
After the mortar shells exploded, the shrapnel flew upwards in a radial pattern, that is to say... If the German army used mortars to cover a large area when they charged down, these shells would often cause greater casualties to the German army.
But the German army still used "a few rounds".
These "several rounds" are actually the psychological tactics of the German army before the charge... A few shells rang behind the Soviet army, on the one hand, it diverted the attention of the Soviet army, on the other hand, it made the Soviet army think that this might be a test firing. Thinking that there would be a large-scale bombing next, they habitually hid in the trenches.
Taking advantage of this time, the German infantry charged.
Shuerka knew this trick played by the German army, so after the sound of the guns, he shouted: "Comrades, kill them, go!"
At this time, some Soviet soldiers were actually fooled, thinking that the German army would not charge for the time being.
So Shuerka's orders came in a timely manner. They have developed a habit of obeying orders from their superiors during training, especially Shurka's orders.
Shulka's reputation as a "breakout hero" is one of the reasons, and on the other hand, it depends on the trust of Major Mikhailvich.
Major Mikhailvich once said to his subordinates during training: "I admire those who dare to disobey the orders of the deputy commander most, because even I have to obey his orders!"
Therefore, the moment Shulka shouted, the Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trench almost reflexively and rushed into the smoke.
In just a few seconds, the enemy and the enemy were strangled together.
Gunstocks, stones, fists, and even teeth have become deadly weapons, and a brutal and primitive hand-to-hand combat unfolded in the smoke.
Although Bavelkov, who was observing from the rear, couldn't see anything, because the position was full of smoke, the white smoke of smoke bombs and the black smoke of burning waste tires, plus shells and dust, all mixed together to make it As if covered with a layer of tulle.
But Pavelkov could still feel the brutality of the battle from the faint shouts and screams coming from it.
After a long silence, Pavelkov put down his binoculars and asked Lermontov beside him, "Are you sure they are the 82nd Infantry Regiment? That security force?"
Lieutenant Lermontov was speechless, because he also had doubts about this.
