Chapter 2853 Blow It up for Me!

"Why not just blow up those two pontoon bridges and stop the idea of ​​coming here?"

"Because the mission goal does not include blowing up the bridge, boy, it is our mission to prevent the Nazis from getting through.

Machines can fight endlessly until the bad ones can no longer operate and are completely exhausted, but humans cannot.

After several rounds of charges, they failed to successfully break through and cross the river. Instead, a lot of troops were folded in, and several tanks were destroyed. The SS troops could not rush forward.

The Russians cleverly made use of everything at hand, including terrain, bunkers, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and even German weapons and equipment captured by sweeping the battlefield in the form of trophies, such as those MG42 machine guns that fired wildly.

Through these things, a nearly perfect and impeccable killing chain has been organized. Whether it is the SS trying to suppress direct artillery fire or the infantry forcibly crossing the river, it will not work after several rounds of attempts, and it will not work at any cost. Consider it a slight and rare loss.

The SS leader responsible for commanding this forced river crossing figured it out.

If you want to successfully cross over, you must destroy an important node in the Russian killing chain, so that it cannot be connected from end to end, and it is impossible to counterattack a certain tactic or a certain unit of arms. Targeting this missing important node and striking hard to expand the results, it would not be difficult to forcefully cross the river or even annihilate the enemy.

However, the leader of the SS, who saw the situation become clearer and more obvious the more we fought, also knew that this was exactly what his side was unable to do now.

The simpler the coordination of arms, the easier it is to be countered. This is a truth that any battlefield-experienced field commander understands.

Unfortunately, the SS cannot come up with a more effective offensive method other than infantry-tank coordination, especially the tactical air force and long-range artillery fire that are responsible for support are completely useless.

With one infantry and one armored force, it would not be easy for the leading division to deal with this group of SS troops who couldn't even get together three axes.

Although the Alsim Company on the other side of the river does not have an overly complicated coordination of arms. It is said that Podaitian is also an infantry-tank coordination of armored troops and infantry. At most, it is coupled with an infantry fighting vehicle that the German gun does not have.

But the problem is that they are the defender who occupies the advantageous terrain and is waiting for work. Not only that, the performance of their technical equipment is even better than yours.

There were just two IS7s. The SS armored forces gathered all kinds of firepower and smashed at least thirty or forty large-caliber artillery shells on them like copper peas. The number of shells that directly hit them was twenty if not thirty. Frequent.

But the result is that these attacks are useless without exception. Even if they are useful, they are far from useful enough to make the Russian steel monster lose its combat effectiveness and withdraw from the field. So what is the difference between rounding it off and being useless? Fighting in a tank game is not about grinding the health bar. As long as you don't destroy the enemy tank, no matter how many guns you fire, it will be useless.

The 88 and 105 armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate at all, and hitting them is purely a useless exercise of scratching and listening to the sound.

The kinetic energy bullets can't be penetrated by the scraping sound, and the 105 high-explosive grenade has no effect either.

The explosive power of German high-explosive grenades converted into equivalent TNT equivalents is inherently less powerful than Soviet grenades of the same caliber. What's more, you German guy is still using a 105 small water pipe to blast pure steel monsters like the IS7, which have the most abnormal defense in the entire Stalin heavy tank family. If not the German guy, who else will be defeated?

The 128 high-explosive grenade is somewhat useful. After all, rounded down, this is the grenade power of the Red Army heavy tank 122 Heirloom. Back then, the Red Army could use 122 grenade to repeatedly bombard, paralyze and destroy the thick-skinned King Tiger, so today's hunting tigers should be able to repeat this operation to kill IS7.

It's a pity that your SS has very few Jagdtigers left. Of the four Jagdtigers brought in this round of attacks, two have been knocked down and two are left. At this point in the war, it can be said that the Jagdtiger itself is the most important and most relied-upon ground core high-survivability fire support unit in the hands of the German army, and if it breaks down, there will be no place to replace it.

In order to save a group of Wehrmacht paratroopers, two Jagdtiger vehicles were killed by the Russians without even crossing the river or touching the enemy's edge.

Such "heavy" losses are even now, when the two Jagdtigers fired by the IS7's 130mm gun with sub-caliber sabot armor-piercing shells and penetrated the main armor belt frontally have changed from emitting black smoke at the beginning to becoming The steel torch burned for a while.

The SS leader who was responsible for leading the attack still felt his heart tremble and his heart ached when he thought about it.

The loss of two precious Jagdtiger vehicles cannot be replenished at this extremely difficult time. Is it really worth it just for such a bunch of cowardly Wehrmacht paratroopers who "cheat their teammates" without saying anything?

"Damn, damn it! If there is long-range artillery support at this time, even if it is just a round of barrage suppression against the Russians on the opposite side, the time will definitely be enough for us to rush over!"

Forced by desperation, they temporarily retreated to the offensive starting position in the small square behind the bridgehead to reorganize their forces and take a temporary rest. Whether to continue to launch the next round of attacks is another matter separately.

Anyway, the first round, which I tried several times without success, now seems to be indeed a failure.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say!? Repeat it again, what did you just say about support???"

The SS major with his hands on his hips, chest heaving and cursing was still pacing back and forth, and the saliva in his mouth was flying like the rain of bullets from the MG42. The SS lieutenant colonel who was thinking about something not far away from him suddenly turned around as if he had stepped on the electric switch, and immediately asked him questions.

"Uh what? What do you want to ask???"

The SS major, who was still in high spirits, didn't come back to his senses for a while. He always felt that he had realized some serious problems and just needed a simple reminder, and the lieutenant colonel looked impatient.

"Support! You just said that if there was any support, it would be great, and we could fight over! Think about it and say it!"

""

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

If you want the unintentional person to remember what you just said, it obviously takes a few seconds to slowly think about it.

"Artillery fire, I just said that artillery fire supports long-range fire, it should be."

"Yes! Artillery fire, damn, how could I forget this! It's artillery barrage!"

"Huh?"

The major, with a question mark on his face, thought that the lieutenant colonel had some hidden cards, such as a self-propelled artillery unit that could be called up and supported. The expression that he automatically imagined immediately became "ecstatic" and was about to say something.

But he didn't expect the lieutenant colonel's reaction to be completely opposite. He was extremely panicked and even anxious. He turned around without saying anything and shouted loudly to all the SS soldiers who were resting at the starting position in the small square.

"Scatter! Scatter! Scatter immediately!!! Don't crowd together!!!"

"Did you see that? Those Nazis seem to be running away. They are moving."

On the rooftop of the twin apartment buildings, near the ferry on the other side of the river, Sulovchenko, the old squad leader and several others who had climbed up the ladder were holding binoculars with an excellent commanding view, accurately watching the every move of the SS troops on the small square on the other side.

"It's useless. It's too late to run now. Let me check the time."

"Well, it's almost time."

"Three, two, one, now! Bomb it for me!"
