Chapter 101 The first battle, attacking the strong with the weak
Chapter 101: First Battle, use weak to attack strong
An artificial canal used to irrigate farmland has provided convenience for agriculture over the years. During the war, it can provide operational cover for its troops or even serve as a combat cover. If you want to reward merit, the engineer who originally designed this canal should receive a medal of merit.
As before, the night attack troops did not carry bulky anti-tank equipment, and the ** and strong explosives were enough - Germany lacked rare metals and gasoline fuel, and in comparison, the most deficient ones should be explosives and other chemicals. Considering the need for ambush wars, Lynn volunteered to lead a small team of soldiers to ambush the roadside with explosives.
Of course, ambushing is not simply burying bombs, waiting on the ground. If it is too close, it is easy for the enemy to discover in advance under the moonlight; if it is too far, it is difficult to control the bombs in time and effectively. For this distance, Lynn spent some time and dividing his squad into two, taking Brück and Flins who were kissing him to "head" at the western end, and the horn of the attack will also be issued from here; the other three more experienced soldiers "cut" at the eastern end at thousands of meters away to create damage to the enemy to the greatest extent.
This time, the Soviets did not make the ambition Linen wait too long. Less than half an hour after the combat force in front passed, the roar of vehicles came from the road again. Holding an ordinary telescope, Linen saw the second "black long snake" in the moonlight. The distance between the front and rear was far more than one kilometer previously envisioned. Temporary change of position not only easily exposes the target, but also makes it difficult to find a hidden and protective position in a short time. Linen made a quick decision, changing the "head" to "hitting the belly", and communicated with his two companions through words.
It can be seen that Flins and Brucker were both nervous, and Lynn was also very nervous. While the enemies were still far apart, he quipped: "Guys, we will fight such an ambush, and the results will be greater than that of a single regiment in an ordinary army for one day! Just wait for the Iron Cross!"
Since joining the army, the three people have been joining the German army for at least half a year, but their chests are still empty, and they have not even received a battle wound medal (it is best not to take). Survival is important, but the desire for honor is hidden in their blood and bones. Although Lynn's words are not funny at all, the three people still smiled and adjusted their mindsets to prepare for the battle.
With the increase of the roar, the Soviet column finally approached this section of the road. Because it was a large area of farmland and scattered houses, the area was very open, not to mention tanks, even a cannon could not hide. Therefore, although the Soviet army suddenly acted as a warning with several jeeps and motorcycles, they did not carefully check the fields along the way. What's more fatal is that they thought they had turned off the headlights wisely, but forgot that the bright moonlight had already illuminated their movements clearly.
"Don't move while lying!" Lin En whispered to remind his companions, and put his head and body against the ground. At this time, the hidden effect of the gray-toned "pea camouflage outfit" came out. The Soviet army's advance convoy drove past nearby at about forty yards, but no one noticed these three dangerous "stones".
The roar in front gradually faded away, and a more majestic loud noise behind was approaching. Lin Neng looked up and saw that there were actually tanks at the top of the line, and there were not two or three!
When the war broke out, the Soviet Union's industrial scale and quality were completely inferior to Germany, but the rich strategic resources and the generous assistance of the Western Allied forces made them organize military production far worse than Germany in the late war. In 1944 alone, the Soviet Union built nearly 30,000 tanks, and the T-34 medium-sized tanks with excellent comprehensive performance accounted for more than half. So in the late war, they never seemed to lack tanks on the battlefield.
As Lin Neng initially guessed, there were indeed a large number of trucks for towing artillery in this long Soviet column, but the fish about to be hooked were more fierce than he had originally imagined. Not to mention that this convoy reached the division level, regardless of how many soldiers there were on each towed artillery truck that could be put into battle at any time, the more than ten T-34s in the platoon looked very troublesome. How to fight this battle?
Without the walkie-talkie and other communication equipment, Lin Neng was unable to communicate with Eric at this time. In fact, fighting or not fighting, the decision-making power was completely in his own hands. Looking at the battlefield calmly, Lin Neng suddenly felt a little annoyed and regretful: How good would it be if the assault team could be equipped with a radio to directly guide the artillery fire to ambush these Soviet artillery soldiers in the middle of the artillery fire?
But if you think about it carefully, the German army was no better than the US army at this time, and it was difficult to organize a powerful field artillery. If you return to the glorious period a few years ago, two or three batches of Stukas could blow up the enemy's convoy of such a large scale!
Amid the extremely tense and depressing roar, the t-34 at the vanguard rumbled past, and Lynn could clearly see the tank soldiers on the turret and the infantry riding "hurry". They were like heavy cavalry sent to protect siege equipment in ancient wars. Because of the military branches, they were born with arrogance and disdain for this low-intensity escort mission, but they had to take it seriously because of military orders and responsibilities, so that they looked cautious and calm, and were not loose.
"Sooner or later..." Lin En wanted to curse the other party viciously in his belly, but found that no matter how deep his resentment was, these Soviet soldiers would soon usher in a carnival of victory, and their red flags would also fly high on the Capitol in Berlin and enjoy the rewards that the winner deserves in the ruins.
Amid the deafening roar, when each T-34 was passing by, Lin En clearly felt the trembling of the ground beneath him - was even the earth scared of these fierce steel chariots?
The last T-34 finally passed, and next were trucks after truck, Dodge, General Motors and the Soviet-made Gas. Various load-loaded vehicles tow howitzers of all sizes. Modern equipment replaced the horse-drawn cannons of that year. While the efficiency was increased exponentially, the pressure on the German army on the opposite side of the war also increased exponentially?
Dry!
With a shout in his heart, Lynn glared at the front, and when he counted the tenth truck, he growled and "pulled".
The two people lie beside them quickly pulled the rope in their hands.
In order to ensure that the explosives are detonated in time, they did "double insurance" treatment at the other end of the rope, namely fire ** and grenades. As long as one of them can be ignited smoothly, the strong explosives placed next to the highway and piled up with stones can allow the Soviets to experience the amazing power of the "roadside bomb" in advance!
Boom! Boom!
The simple explosion swept over with a shocking force. The ground turned into a bounce bed. Lying in a depression more than 20 meters away from the highway, Lin En still felt that he was being slightly bounced off the ground. Not only did his ears instantly deaf, but his internal organs were even broken and caused severe colic. Three explosions in succession, he seemed to be wandering at the gate of hell for three times, feeling that he would die at any time, but he regained his awakening consciousness in a flash.
As the violent explosion disappeared, fierce gunfire burst into his ears. In a moment, three equally huge explosions came from the back of the Soviet convoy - but all of this was an indescribable sound for Linen. After a while, he lifted his head with a layer of mud on his steel helmet. The huge power of the explosive pack made four or five trucks nearby blow up, and the dense bullets fired from his companions from the canal were raging the surrounding Soviet trucks with the benefit of ambush. Because the carriage baffles were not enough to resist rifle bullets, many Soviet soldiers were knocked down in panic.
Although his situation was already dangerous enough, Lin Neng still glanced at the battlefield with his keen eyes. The Soviet tanks in front of the team had stopped. Once they joined the battle, the German night combat troops equipped with only light weapons would not even have the power to parry.
While the Soviet soldiers in front of him were still unable to take care of themselves, Lin Neng quickly reached out to pull Bruc and Flins: "Retreat! Retreat!"
The two soldiers were obviously confused by the powerful explosion. They got up in dizziness and ran backwards. Their rolling and crawling posture looked like a hero who bravely ambushed the powerful enemy?
In terms of courage, Lin En actually has nothing extraordinary, but half of it is to lay the foundation for the long-term goals, and half is inspired by deep inner self. He put all his strength behind him, retreating and aiming at the gun. The fire is simply a desperate situation, so to put it bluntly, this is a dangerous "show".
