Chapter 1044 The Russian Offensive 2
Chapter 1044 Russian Offensive 2
"It's a machine gun! The Russians actually mobilized so many machine guns in an instant!" When the cavalry moved closer with sabers and rifles in their hands, they realized that they had fallen into a death trap. These temporarily mobilized machine guns The carriage immediately maneuvered to the designated position when the Austro-Hungarian Army detected the attack. Then the brakes were pulled and the shields were set up. After that, there were temporary machine gun bunkers. In the absence of artillery, the more than 30 machine gun carriages gathered together It is simply killing gods when God blocks them, and killing Buddha when Buddha blocks them!
The roar of the machine guns was continuous. Every minute, thousands of bullets flew towards the charging cavalry. The wildly jumping fire snakes were like the scythe of death, quickly cutting the attacker's line. The wave-like rain of bullets was like a tidal wave that directly shattered the attacking cavalry formation. The wails of the soldiers and the roar of the horses resounded throughout the battlefield. In just a few minutes, the entire attack turned into a complete massacre. And before the Austro-Hungarian cavalry could recover, the Russian soldiers holding rifles had already rushed over and used their rifles and bayonets to mow them down!
The attack on the left wing collapsed in a very short period of time, and the right wing was also blocked by a highly mobile machine gun team. Fortunately, after the commander of the right wing realized that something was wrong, he withdrew some of his troops, but from the overall situation It seemed that the Austro-Hungarian Army, which had been repulsed on both flanks, was in doom.
At this time, the frontal battle gradually became clear. When the Hu Feng assault gun and Cricket tank, which were the armored spearheads, were connected to 8 hidden 107MM self-propelled artillery and killed 10 of them, the remaining 8 tanks were obviously unable to continue the attack. However, the officers and soldiers who can control these steel monsters are high-quality personnel after all. Even when the attack was weak, they still blocked the Russian counterattack like the mainstay!
The 2-pounder gun, which was close to the rate of fire of the machine gun, threw a series of shells into the charging Russian infantry. The three remaining Cricket tanks and the infantry machine gun team used crossfire to create a wall of fire in the Russian attacking troops. The other five Hu Feng-type assault guns perform the task of suppressing the opponent's artillery. The unprotected towed artillery has no way to face the Russian bombardment, but the Hu Feng with armor protection cannot be hit by shrapnel unless it is directly hit by a 122MM grenade. Just a few shallow pits.
The remaining Austro-Hungarian infantry, facing the hail of bullets above their heads, gradually gathered around the tanks and tenaciously resisted the Russian counterattack. Relying on better-equipped light weapons and armored units, this Austro-Hungarian force has not collapsed so far. But failure is only a matter of time.
After the Russian army eliminated the threat on both sides, the Russian troops on both sides began to immediately outflank. Under the cover of infantry and cavalry, dozens of machine gun carriages quickly moved to the flanks of the Austro-Hungarian troops, using powerful machine gun firepower to separate the opponent's follow-up. Reinforcements, and when the 107MML28 self-propelled cannons, nicknamed Mammoth by the Russians, came out of their hiding places and aimed at the Austro-Hungarian armored forces that were still resisting, the fate was decided!
"What is that?!" Second Lieutenant Hans will never forget the scene when he saw the Mammoth self-propelled cannon for the first time.
Shock and fear filled his mind.
It was a design that seemed a bit unorthodox to him. A small car body carried a huge artillery piece, and the entire gun barrel extended out of the front of the car body for more than a meter, giving people a top-heavy feeling. , from his position he could easily see the busy soldiers surrounding the artillery. It is completely unscientific to install such a huge artillery piece on such a small site!
"Kill it! Don't let them fire!" Second Lieutenant Hans reacted first. Under his command, the driver adjusted the speed of the two tracks to allow the car body to rotate within the smallest possible range. The loading hand was numb. A 75MM armor-piercing bullet was stuffed into the barrel of the gun. Half a minute later, an orange flame flew out of the muzzle.
boom! A flame rose next to the target. It was still difficult to hit the target at a distance of 900 meters. Ten seconds later, another shell flew out, but it still missed! Hans' team didn't seem to be doing very well today. Four shots were missed in a row. This had never happened before. But what surprised Hans was that the opponent hadn't fired a single shot until now! This surprised him.
"The opponent's steering seems to be very slow, no, it should be very slow, and the ammunition supply is not smooth. It seems that there is not much ammunition stored in the vehicle. More importantly, the big guy's artillery is very difficult to rotate. Once there is no shielding advantage, If both sides were to shoot at each other under fair circumstances, the threat from something that was neither flexible nor adequately armored would be relatively limited, and our grenades seemed to be able to severely damage them with near-misses!" Second Lieutenant Hans recalled after the war.
The fifth shell successfully hit this guy! After a loud noise, the assassin who had just been killing people was blown to pieces. Judging from the damage, there is no armor protection at all! And then, the second lieutenant who regained his confidence continued his efforts to kill the other two vehicles. Unfortunately, a partial victory could no longer save the overall situation. After the remaining five Russian self-propelled cannons killed three Austro-Hungarian tanks, the entire defense line collapsed, and a large number of soldiers rushed through the gaps in the fire. At this time, the only thing the second lieutenant can do is to lead people to evacuate here. Just run as much as you can.
In the last wave of charges, the Russians finally committed their most elite infantry. Under the cover of a large number of machine guns, the Russians were armed with Mauser long-barreled pistols, Ruger long-barreled pistols, semi-automatic rifles and grenade launchers. The elite infantry rushed forward quickly. At a distance of about 100 to 150 meters, with wildly tilted firepower and sudden close firepower that was several times stronger, the Austrian defense finally collapsed. The machine gunners and semi-automatic riflemen who were originally blocking the attack were beaten to pieces under the opponent's superior firepower and the crazy suppression of the heavy machine gun. The soldiers with only rifles left were obviously unable to withstand the opponent's tide of attack, as well as nearly 30% of the personnel. Attack with a rapid-fire weapon in hand. When this wave of elite Russian infantry entered a range of 150 meters, the Russian soldiers' superiority in numbers and firepower finally completely ended their opponents!
The seemingly simple concentration of firepower became the last straw for the enemy. After using the semi-automatic rifle in his hand to kill an Austrian non-commissioned officer who turned around to escape, Budyonni immediately stepped forward and took away the former The MP08 submachine gun in hand. Commandos have the right to give priority to picking up trophies. Don't expect your superiors to allocate this kind of stuff to you. Get it yourself.
