Chapter 2056 the sound of the cannon
Chapter 2056 The sound of cannons is the signal
"Comrade division commander, these two bastard Germans have done too much shit! They want to see the commander of the bridgehead garrison and name him by name...what is his name? I'm asking you a question! Oh yes, call him that.
Adam, what a lousy name..."
"One of these two people is the captain's liaison officer, and the other is a messenger. Our people said they would go and notify someone to come over. They are leaving those two bastards there, but I guess they won't be delayed for too long. Please ask for further instructions."
"..."
Before answering Alsim on the other end of the radio, Malashenko glanced at his commander's periscope and found that the German marching column was still advancing and had not stopped there.
The leading No. 4 tank had arrived at a distance of only 500 meters from his command vehicle, and continued to advance at a street intersection that was not too wide. On both sides of the street were buildings of high and low heights along the street.
The space for tanks to move is very limited.
After realizing this situation, Malashenko pressed the button of the microphone and blurted out the order he had already thought about what to do.
"Go up and talk to him for the last two minutes. Listen to the sound of my cannon! Take action as soon as the cannon sounds. Everyone is ready to fight!"
The Germans' marching speed was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow.
The leading Panzer IV drove slowly, probably at a constant speed that the infantry could just keep up with. The same was true for the 251 armored vehicles that followed.
At this speed, it would take about two minutes to drive very close to the bridgehead, assuming the Germans didn't stop midway.
In order to inflict maximum sudden damage to the Germans, it is natural to get as close as possible when they are unprepared, but you have to remember not to get close enough for the Germans to come up and mix with your side.
As for the command to "take action as soon as the artillery fires", Malashenko believed that Alsim knew what to do. This guy was illiterate despite not being able to read a word, but when it comes to his ability to fight,
Then he is at the level of a human spirit. This really has nothing to do with whether he is educated or not. It all depends on his brain.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Alsim, who hung up the radio, immediately started to take action. Malashenko then saw that his man who had just run down and left temporarily emerged from the corner and returned to the two waiting people.
In front of the real German guy who seemed very anxious, he started making blind gestures and beeping with his hands spread out.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was not much left of the two minutes of "garbage time" limited by Malashenko.
It was obvious that the two Germans were quite dissatisfied with having to deal with unconstructive nonsense once again. It could be seen that the blind gestures with their hands obviously became more extensive. Looking at this posture, even if they wanted to forcefully drag them back.
It can't be delayed any longer, and the Germans may have realized that something is not right.
Malashenko, who had found out the situation here, moved his right hand slightly, moved the view of the commander's periscope back to the street, and locked the large German army.
The large German army was still advancing due to poor communication in real time, and the leisurely and sloppy march remained unchanged.
There are two No. 4 vehicles at the head, one on the left and one on the right, followed closely by a single column of SDKFZ251 half-track armored vehicles. On both sides of the column are large groups of infantry advancing on foot. The guns are carried on the shoulders instead of fighting with guns.
attitude.
As the saying goes, a small thing can make a big difference. If these stupid second-tier German guys can be so nervous and so unorganized, they will naturally be looked down upon by Comrade Ma. No matter how you say this vigilance, it is absolutely unqualified.
If nothing else, if the Grossdeutschland Division or the Guardsmen Division encountered this situation, Malashenko would bet that when the messenger who confirmed the situation did not return, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the subsequent large forces. No.
It is said that they will attack the enemy immediately, but at least the subsequent large forces will immediately adjust their formation posture, with guns in hand and shells loaded, so that they can respond to emergencies at any time and be ready to fight.
This is not a particularly awesome ability, it is just the vigilance that front-line field troops who have experienced hundreds of battles should have. If you don't even have this awareness, you are still calling yourself an elite.
Everyone knows the principle of seeing the big from the small, so the Germans who came here to die are naturally not elites. They are most likely just like Major Adam said, another battalion belonging to the same regiment as him.
Judging from what Malashenko has observed, this small force is estimated to have only one battalion, and it does not carry any terrifying heavy weapons that can make people fear. The first two No. 4 vehicles plus the second half
The three or five Santuzi vehicles in the queue were already the entire armored strength.
To be honest, these heavy weapons are not enough to fill the gap between teeth. Don’t get me wrong, it is not enough to fill the gap between these Black Panther IIs commanded by Malashenko. If the main force of the Leader’s Division arrives, a few No. 4 vehicles will be added.
Santuzi is not even qualified to mention it.
After confirming the situation on both sides respectively, Malashenko had already made a decision in his heart. As the saying goes, if you don't take action now, you will wait until later. The words that had been brewing on his lips blurted out immediately.
"Target, No. 4 starting at 12 o'clock! Car No. 113 deals with the one on the left, I'll take care of the one on the right!"
"clear!"
"Aimed!"
Iushkin, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately responded, and Malashenko, who did not need to hesitate much, immediately gave the order.
"Fire!"
boom--
Orange-red flames spurted out from the muzzle brake, cutting through the surrounding night. The roaring armor-piercing belt tore through the peaceful night just a second ago, and rushed straight towards the locked target that was close at hand.
.
The two Panther IIs with turret call signs 113 and 114 started almost at the same time, firing at the same time. Even if there was any time between them, it was only within one second. This was the ultimate in coordination.
At a distance of less than 300 meters, with the sophisticated German optical sights and high-magnification main gun, it is not easy to hit a target the size of a tank.
The two No. 4 vehicles that were moving normally one second were unprepared, and the next second they suddenly stopped on the spot like drunken drunkards, trembling all over, and then there was a burst of hot fire and steel tearing.
With the sound, the armor was penetrated on the spot, and thick smoke and fire burst out in all directions.
The whistling sound of artillery shells and violent explosions seemed to be a step too late, echoing over the battlefield. For a moment, the dumbfounded German infantry had no idea what was happening. Most of them did not even know where the attack came from or who it was.
Before firing, let alone any effective countermeasures.
At the moment before the Germans had time to react, Alsim, who had already ambushed the "axemen" in advance, waved his hand, and a group of combat engineers who were still playing ordinary guard soldiers around them immediately drew out their bayonets.
Swarming up.
With a few strokes, the two Germans who were impatient and beeping blindly stabbed a hornet's nest of holes all over their bodies and died on the spot. By the way, they shot to death the second-rate driver who was secretly smoking in the car.
Everything in this flash of lightning happened in just a few seconds. A storm of firepower that was even more violent for the Germans had just begun here.
Chapter completed!
