BXBX NOVEL Chapter 539: Solve the problem
Because any army, as long as it dares to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, it has already demonstrated its combat effectiveness.
The reason is that hand-to-hand combat requires more courage.
In the battle where guns and shells are shot at each other, bullets and shells often come before they are mentally prepared, and they don’t realize that they are injured until they see the wound and feel the pain.
But in hand-to-hand combat, it is necessary to face the bayonet, blood, and the twisted face of the enemy
Sometimes you have to feel the enemy's helplessness, desire, and fear while stabbing the opponent's heart point by point.
Shuerka at this time is doing such a thing.
Anytime you're grappling with an opponent in hand-to-hand combat, the whole world seems to go quiet and there's only one other in your eyes.
There is no other reason. At this time, all strategies, tactics, official titles, etc. are useless. There is only one useful thing, power.
It was not until this time that Shulka really realized the true meaning of "two fists can't beat four hands".
The strength of the enemy and us is actually about the same, that is, they are evenly matched. At this time, as long as one more pair of hands is needed, or even only one hand, and a pistol or military stab is needed to hit Shulka, the battle will be over.
But the intensity of this hand-to-hand combat lies in the roughly equal strength of the enemy and us.
Or it can’t be said that the troops are roughly equal. This hand-to-hand combat took place in the smoke bombs, and the visibility is only two meters. Even if there are extra troops farther away, they can’t see here. Of course, it won’t help.
Shulka made a clever move in the scuffle, turning over and pinning his opponent in a crater created by a mortar shell... Rolling into this crater means that both sides are blocked from moving, and the opponent is trapped. passive.
Then, Shulka put his weight on the military thorn in his hand.
The German soldier struggled desperately. He held Shulka's hand and tried to push Shulka away with his last ounce of strength.
But he didn't succeed, he could only watch the military thorn approaching his heart bit by bit.
Shuerka could see the despair in his eyes, and could even understand the pleading in his mouth.
But Shulka knew he couldn't soften his heart.
Because this is a life-and-death hand-to-hand combat, if Shuerka lets him go, he will immediately turn around and kill Shuerka in the next second.
So, the military thorn was getting closer and closer... The tip of the knife pierced through the uniform and pierced into the flesh. The German soldier screamed in despair, and finally struggled to change the direction of the military thorn, but failed.
In the next second, he gave up, and as soon as he let go, the military thorn plunged into his heart, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The pain deformed the German soldier's brain, and at the same time, his whole body twitched like an electric shock.
Pulling out the military thorn, the German soldiers seemed to be relieved, and then lost their anger when their heads were tilted.
Shuerka lay on the ground as soon as he turned over. He was exhausted. If another enemy appeared at this time, then Shurka might have to give up like the German soldier who just died in his hand.
No one likes to give up their life, they are even willing to fight till the last moment.
But sometimes the situation just doesn't allow them to live another moment.
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen, and the Soviet army once again took advantage of hand-to-hand combat.
This should be taken for granted.
The reason is that whenever there is a hand-to-hand combat, the Soviet army will organize mortars to fire at the positive **** controlled by the German army.
On the contrary, the German army did not dare to do so.
Because as I said before, the battlefield is on the reverse **** where the Soviet army is located. If the German army conducts blocking shelling, the German troops that charge may suffer more casualties.
That is to say, the Soviet army can always receive strong reinforcements in every close combat, but this is not the case for the German army.
Therefore, even if the quality of the German army is better than that of the Soviet army in all aspects, even the physical fitness is no exception... It should be said that the physical fitness of the German army is much better than that of the Soviet army.
Germany had achieved "milk and bread on every family's table" in 1938.
The Soviet Union has just recovered from the famine, and even most soldiers have experienced famine. (Note: The second famine in the Soviet Union occurred from 1932 to 1933)
This determines that the average physical fitness of Soviet soldiers is not as good as that of German soldiers.
It should be said that this is also the reason why the German commander, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund, has confidence in melee combat: German soldiers are obviously superior to Soviet soldiers in terms of military quality and physical fitness. Why can't they suppress the Soviet army to occupy Mamayev Hill? !
However, the battlefield is not a simple comparison. Sometimes objective conditions or artificially created favorable situations are more important than the soldiers themselves.
Lieutenant Colonel Edmond seems to be aware of this.
He frowned and said to Lieutenant Colonel Bauer: "It seems that it is not only the direct-firing weapons that have lost their effect, but even the mortar troops have been restricted to some extent!"
Lieutenant Colonel Bauer looked at Mamayev Hill, and then asked: "Lieutenant Colonel Edmund, I was wondering... can we fire the assault guns on Mamayev Hill?"
"Drive the tank up?" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund was a little surprised.
"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer replied: "Although it is difficult, I mean that there is hardly a decent road on Mamayev Hill, and it is full of bomb craters, but it has a gentle slope. If you let engineers under the cover of artillery fire Make a way to put tanks and assault guns into battle..."
"This seems like a good idea!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmond nodded in agreement.
"We need to move fast!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer looked at the sky and said, "It will be dark in a few hours, and it will be difficult for our tanks and assault guns to play a role. Besides, I don't think we can Let the enemy see our movements, or they will prepare!"
"Of course!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmond replied.
Lieutenant Colonel Edmond's method is very simple, that is, to keep the infantry attacking Mamayev Gang, even if the German soldiers fall one after another on the reverse **** of the Soviet army.
These gunshots, explosions and fighting sounds are enough to cover up the movements of the German army on the positive slope.
On the other hand, the German engineers cleverly combined roads with existing fortifications... Some fortifications can be transformed into a very good road, so that the German army built two zigzag upward roads in the shortest time to make tanks and The assault gun can go to the top of the mountain.
This plan went smoothly, because the Soviet army, including Shulka, knew nothing about it.
"Get ready for battle!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund ordered the troops when everything was ready: "It's time to solve the problem!"
