Sokov had inspected the unit shortly after the 182nd Division changed his clothes. When he saw the soldiers shooting, he chose to fire continuously. The magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds was exhausted in a few seconds. According to the amount of ammunition with a base number of bullets outside the four magazines of individual soldiers, it was really not enough.
Considering that many soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time, they might keep pulling the trigger because of nervousness and quickly knocking the bullets out, he specifically instructed Khochlov: "Comrade Colonel, please try not to shoot continuously when fighting, but use point shots. Because the accuracy of shooting in a continuous shooting is poor, it is far less effective than that of shooting in a multi-person point shot."
Khokhlov understood what Sokov meant and nodded quickly and said, "I understand, comrade Commander, I will let the soldiers use point shots in battle to save ammunition."
"Comrade Colonel," Lunev interjected, "Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?"
Hearing Lunev's question, Khokhlov grinned. He knew very well in his heart what it means to have a whole division equipped with such as this assault rifle. With such powerful firepower, Khokhlov felt that it was no problem no matter what kind of enemy he faced. He said to Lunev firmly: "Comrade Military Commissioner, even a company equipped with assault rifles will not be weaker than a regiment of other units."
"Comrade Colonel, are you very confident?" Lunev said with a smile: "I hope that after the battle begins, your performance will not disappoint the commander and me."
At the same time, Captain Zumingte, who was staying in his observation center, saw two German tanks and five armored vehicles through a telescope, and was gradually approaching his defense zone through the urgent highway. He quickly called Captain Geria, the first company commander, and asked worriedly: "Comrade Captain, the enemy's tanks have approached your defense zone. Are you ready for battle?"
"Report to the battalion commander!" Geria quickly replied, "I deployed the two anti-tank teams in the company on the roadside. Only when the enemy tanks approached, they could be killed immediately."
"Captain," Zumingt hurriedly reminded him: "Anti-tank team is the most important combat unit, you must ensure their safety."
"Don't worry, Comrade Battalion Commander." Geria replied with a smile: "I have deployed two infantry squads on the roadside, which can completely ensure their safety."
The German squad unknowingly entered the Soviet ambush circle and drove the tank in the front, less than fifty meters away from the anti-tank team hidden on the roadside. A soldier carrying a bazooka suddenly leaned out, used a half-squat style, aimed at the first tank and fired.
The rocket accurately hit the leading tank. Zumingte in the observation center first saw a thick stream of smoke coming out of the observation hole, then the body of the car suddenly shook, and then stopped. However, the tank following behind did not notice anything unusual and continued to drive forward.
Then, another anti-tank armed with a rocket launcher and shot out from his hideout, aiming at the second tank to open fire. The slow-moving German tank was as conspicuous as a target on a shooting range more than fifty meters away, so that the rocket could easily hit the target. After a loud "boom", a flame erupted from the open hatch like a volcano erupting, jumping up to twenty or thirty meters high. After a few seconds, the flames retracted into the turret, but soon flames emerged from the observation hole, bullet-dropping port, etc., which engulfed the entire tank.
When the first tank was destroyed, the German officers and soldiers on the armored personnel carrier behind did not notice it at all, but the second tank exploded and caught fire. If they could not see it, it would be too unreasonable. With the loud shouts of the officers, the German soldiers jumped off the armored vehicles and seized the favorable terrain.
Geria, in the trenches on the hillside, saw that most of the German soldiers jumped off the armored vehicles, and then yelled suddenly: "Shoot!" After shouting, he took the lead in shooting at the German officers and soldiers on the road down the hillside.
For a moment, the silence on the battlefield was broken. The commanders and soldiers in the trenches and on the roadside opened fire on the soldiers surrounding the armored vehicles. The dense firepower immediately defeated the enemies exposed to the range in pieces.
The Germans can break through the defense line of the Voronezh Front, and their strength should not be underestimated. When they first heard the sound of gunfire nearby, they didn't care, thinking that with their own strength, they could turn defeat into victory. But when they saw their companions fall down in large numbers, the remaining soldiers immediately wanted to escape. The firepower of these Russians was too strong. When they heard the sound of gunfire, they seemed to have thousands of guns shooting at the same time. Just because of their own people, they even fart.
The soldiers hurried on the right side of the armored vehicle, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, holding the last bit of luck in their hearts, preparing to counterattack when the Soviet army began to charge. As long as the Soviet army defeated the Soviet attack, they would have the possibility of escape.
But the scene that happened next surprised them. The Soviet army, which began to charge, did not rush forward in a mess as they imagined, but instead rushed forward in a group of three people, alternately covering them. Several German soldiers had just poked their heads out from behind the armored vehicles, but before they could shoot, they were knocked down by oncoming bullets.
Of course, the German soldiers hiding behind the armored vehicles were not safe. Soviet commanders and fighters dropped bombs through the armored vehicles, and the falling grenades exploded around them. The flying shrapnel made many soldiers lose their lives again.
The entire battle lasted less than five minutes, but for the surviving German soldiers, it seemed like a different life. Seeing the Soviet commanders and soldiers rushing towards him with guns, they did not have the courage to continue fighting, so they quickly raised their hands to surrender.
Seeing that the enemy entering his defense zone had been completely wiped out, Zumingte quickly called Lieutenant Colonel Goriachkin to tell Lieutenant Colonel Goriachkin. Although Goriachin had long seen the entire battle through the telescope in his command post, he still praised him when he heard Zumingte's report: "Comrade Captain, you have done a good job and immediately send people to the regiment headquarters. I think the commander and the division commander must be eager to obtain some useful information from the mouths of these prisoners."
After finishing the call with Zumingte, Lieutenant Colonel Goriacchikin answered the phone number of the division headquarters and reported to the chief of staff who answered the phone: "Comrade Chief of Staff, after a fierce battle, the Zumingte Battalion of our regiment has eliminated the enemies entering our regiment's defense zone and captured several prisoners."
"What, the battle ended so quickly?" The 546th Regiment solved the battle so neatly, which surprised the Chief of Staff: "Where are the prisoners?"
