Chapter 635 The Reactionary Superman Has Opened Up
600 meters!
This is really not a very long distance, especially on the battlefield with artillery fire, watching the surging sea of tanks and sea of people rushing to 600 meters like a tide, it is definitely something that can make most people feel frightened.
However, for the German reactionary Superman who has been smelling the smoke of gunpowder for almost three years and has been on the cheat, this is nothing. Captain Skolzne said "Fire 600 meters", that is 600 meters! No one will be afraid of firing the enemy in advance because he is afraid of trying to block the enemy from a distance, and Superman who has on the cheat will not be afraid!
"Open fire!"
Almost as the loud voice of Scholznei sounded, a long-depressed gunfire broke out in the trenches. First, the mg42 machine gun fired a hot tongue and swept past the British infantry who were advancing with the tank. The British soldiers' pace suddenly slowed down. Just as they were about to lie down or hide behind the tank, the fg42 paratrooper rifle also fired.
“Bo, Bo, Bo…”
Unlike the harsh sound of the burlap that was like the gunshot of mg42, the gunshots of the fg42 were sparse and seemed to have no lethality. However, the British soldiers rushing in front were cut to the ground like straw encountered a sickle!
"Oh my God, it's only five or six hundred meters away..." Golikov joined the Bolshevik Party and joined the Red Army in 1918. Although he spent most of his time in the civil war, he was also a political worker on the front line. When he saw many infantry fighting, how could he not tell the difference between being shot and falling to the ground and lying down for fear of death?
At least half of the British infantry lying down in front were shot, at least in a position that looked like they were shot. If they were not pretending to be dead, they would be dead.
The German army's firepower was not strong and the distance was far, so it could hit so many British people, which meant that all the Germans on the battlefield were sharpshooters... Thinking of this, he began to worry for the Red Army soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield.
It seems that many martyrs will emerge in the struggle to liberate mankind, right?
When Golikov was feeling, the originally sparse muzzle flames suddenly became very dense, just as dozens or hundreds of light machine guns fired at the same time.
"Is this... the mp40 submachine gun fire?" Golikov asked with some uncertainty. Because he found that the British infantry at this time was nearly 300 meters away from the frontier of the German army, the submachine gun seemed to be unable to hit that far, right?
"It is an automatic rifle," Weiville frowned and said to Golikov. "Similar to the American Browning automatic rifle, but it is lighter and more accurate. This rifle can be used as a rifle and a light machine gun at the same time, and its firepower is very strong. Before the Battle of Ireland, we didn't know that this automatic rifle existed, and it might be just a small number of loadings."
"Has it been seized?" Golikov asked immediately. Although the rifle was not a decisive weapon, he still did not dare to take it lightly.
"Of course there is, I'll ask someone to give you one."
"Thank you then." As soon as Golikov finished speaking, another change occurred on the battlefield. Two Crusader cruisers, one m3 Grant/Lee tank and one Churchill infantry tank turned into fireballs in front of a German company-level position!
Four tanks were destroyed at the same time! This is not the effect of 3 50mm anti-tank guns!
Boom boom boom boom...
There was another roar, and before Golikov could react, more British tanks were blown up by unknown weapons in front of the four German companies!
Are the German infantry equipped with some sharp anti-tank secret weapons? If this is the case, it will be troublesome! In the thunderstorm attack that is about to be launched, the biggest ace in the hands of the Soviet Red Army is the powerful tank cluster all over the world. If the German superman infantry fought tanks like playing, can the more than 20,000 Soviet tanks withstand it?
If Soviet tanks didn't work, would the thunderstorm assault fail?
pound clang...
A very harsh loud noise came to Skorzne's ear. It was the sound of the tank being blown up at close range, which sounded completely different from the explosions a few hundred meters or one thousand meters away. The heat wave arrived in an instant, and a Churchill tank located about 100 meters in front of Skorzne's right had turned into a ball of fire.
The contribution was a 75mm lg40 recoilless cannon, and each German paratrooper company had 3 such cannons. In addition, each German paratrooper company/infantry company also had 3 "Iron Fist" anti-tank teams (one in each row). However, the range of the "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade launcher was a bit short. Now the German army is equipped with the "Iron Fist" 30 type, with an effective range of only 30 meters and an armor-breaking depth of 140mm. The front armor of any known tank cannot reach this thickness.
Seeing the British tanks rumbled over despite the heavy losses, Scholzne waved his right hand vigorously while shouting: "Iron Fist Team, prepare for battle!"
Hearing the order of the battle, the three members of the Iron Fist Anti-Tank Team, who had been ready, all grabbed an Iron Fist Anti-Tank Grenade Launcher without hesitation, climbed out of the trenches, crawled forward with the bullets and shells that were hit like rain, and finally rolled into the fox pit or crater located in front of the first trenches... This is not an easy task.
Just under Skolzne's nose, three of the 12 "Iron Fist Warriors" were hit by British bullets and shells. Two of them became Nazi martyrs without even having time to scream. One person was hit on his thigh by shrapnel from the flying shells. The blood immediately dyed a large area of mud around him. He struggled to climb forward for a few times and stopped moving. It seemed that it was a bad luck.
Hans Hut, who had just been promoted to corporal and became the leader of an Iron Fist Group, was very lucky to climb out more than 20 meters and found a crater made by a 5.5-inch (140mm) cannon and drilled into it. Before he could catch his breath, the rattle of the crawler rolling came.
He quickly climbed to the edge of the crater and poked out half of his head. He saw a slowly crawling Churchill Infantry Tank less than 30 meters ahead. The design idea of the Churchill Infantry Tank is the same as that of the Matilda Tank. It can be said to be an upgraded version of the Matilda Infantry Tank, so it also inherits all the shortcomings of the Matilda Infantry Tank. It is a 40-ton waste. The only advantage that can be regarded as is probably that the armor is relatively strong, and the thickest part of the front armor exceeds 100mm.
For German Army units with 75mm anti-tank guns, 100mm armor is nothing. However, for airborne troops with only 50mm anti-tank guns, it is still difficult to deal with such tanks. Therefore, Churchill infantry tanks were handed over to the "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade launcher.
The tank close to Corporal Hut was originally surrounded by infantry guarding it, but the German mg42 machine guns and FG42 paratroopers' rifles were too powerful, which made the British infantry unable to raise their heads. Now they all shrank behind the butt of the tank, so they could not effectively cover the tank.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Corporal Hut focused all his attention and was not disturbed by the bullets and shrapnel flying around him. He quickly carried the "Iron Fist" grenade launcher on his shoulders, aimed at the tank twenty or thirty meters away, and then quickly pressed the launch button. After a muffled bang, the "Iron Fist" bullet flew away like a meteor chasing the moon, hitting the solid front of the Churchill tank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into a dazzling fireball.
Just as Corporal Hut successfully destroyed a British Churchill infantry tank, dozens of "Iron Fist Warriors" who climbed to the front of the battlefield (not only Skolzne sent an Iron Fist team, but the other three paratroopers also sent an Iron Fist team) also fired iron fist grenades. In a blink of an eye, twenty or thirty British tanks turned into fire groups!
"This is..." Golikov couldn't believe his eyes. He had just witnessed an incredible scene.
The British Churchill infantry tanks were actually beaten by the German infantry and they all caught fire and exploded!
The tank cluster consisting of more than 100 Churchill infantry tanks, Crusader cruisers and M3 Grant/Lee tanks actually hit the defensive positions of several German company-level infantrymen!
These Nazi Superman are too fierce, right? He can even deal with tanks!
Golikov is now worried that the Red Army soldiers will not be able to break through the German Barbarossa defense line.
"It's about to break through!" Admiral Weiville suddenly shouted in Russian.
Golikov quickly picked up his telescope and looked around. Sure enough, he saw that the British attack was still continuing. Dozens of tanks had rushed to less than 100 meters in front of the first German trench. They no longer continued to charge, but used artillery machine guns to shoot fiercely, desperately suppressing the German firepower. British soldiers with "poached egg helmets" rushed out from behind the tanks, braved the dense rain of bullets fired by the German mg42 and fg42. Those who rushed in the front were knocked down by the rain of bullets. The soldiers behind were still moving forward without hesitation!
It seems that the overwhelming sea of tanks and sea of people can still defeat the Nazi Superman! Golikov thought in fear.
But at this moment, a group of fireballs suddenly rose behind the British army, who were about to rush into the German position, and the fireballs quickly divided the British army on the front line and the reinforcements behind them.
The Germans are going to fight back! Golikov can guess what is going to happen below when he sees the German shelling. These German Nazis are really hard to deal with!
He raised his telescope and looked at the battlefield filled with smoke. He vaguely saw twenty or thirty German No. 3 tanks rushing up from the rear of the right wing of the German defense line.
