Chapter 1130: each have their own ghosts

  Chapter 1130 Each has a ghost

   "Set up the launcher." After Guchakov ordered the troops to stop advancing, the first order he gave was to set up the rocket launcher and prepare for launch: "After locking the enemy's target, launch it immediately."

  The soldiers have long been familiar with the use of rocket launchers, and they are ready to launch in less than two minutes. Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Guchakov raised his hand high above his head, then swung it down violently, and shouted loudly: "Launch!"

   Following Guchakov's order, twelve rockets flew towards the place where the German troops gathered. This batch of launches had just ended, and before it had time to see the results of the battle, Guchakov ordered reloading, preparing for the second launch.

  The first batch of twelve rockets soon fell into the enemy's formation and exploded, blasting the German officers and soldiers who were pushing the cart to pieces. Some of the trucks that were stuck in the mud were overturned by the explosion; some tarpaulins were on fire and were burning; What a dead body.

   Before the enemy could escape, another wave of rockets flew over and landed on the place just now and exploded again. After this explosion, the roads were full of burning truck wrecks emitting flames and billowing black smoke. There were no more than 200 German officers and soldiers pushing the carts. After the two explosions, no more than ten people.

   After Guchakov saw clearly the embarrassment of the German army through the binoculars, he immediately issued an order to his subordinates to attack. For a time, more than two hundred soldiers rushed out of the forest with their weapons in hand, stepped on the muddy road, and rushed towards the chaotic German army ahead.

It was the area where the German infantry was under attack, while the tank column in front was intact. They noticed that the Soviet army was rushing out of the nearby forest. Many tanks parked on the road adjusted their muzzles and moved towards the distance. The charging Soviet commanders shelled.

  The artillery shells fell into the Soviet army and exploded, although Guchakov kept each soldier at a sufficient distance in order to reduce the casualties of the troops. However, the enemy's shells exploded in the queue, and from time to time soldiers were blown away by the explosion waves, or knocked down by flying fragments. In just one or two minutes, forty or fifty soldiers fell to the ground. under enemy fire.

   Fortunately, the anti-tank soldiers moved quickly. They quickly approached the German tanks, hid in the blind spot of the enemy's artillery fire, and opened fire after aiming at the enemy's tanks.

  The 41st Guards Division was issued a bazooka developed by Sokov, which was a powerful weapon for attacking tanks. Not to mention fifty or sixty meters apart, even a hundred meters apart, it could still penetrate the side armor of German tanks. Six rocket launchers fired simultaneously, and the separate rockets destroyed four tanks.

  Due to the poor vision in the tank, the remaining tanks did not notice that their companion's tank was destroyed, and still aimed at the charging Soviet soldiers in the distance to shell.

   After the anti-tank fighters destroyed four German tanks, they continued to move forward. Although these anti-tank fighters have not been trained for a long time, due to the short shooting distance, it is strange that such a huge German tank is stuck in the muddy road and cannot move, and the distance is so close. In this way, the anti-tank fighters carried out two more attacks and wiped out all the remaining tanks.

  Although the German army is usually aggressive and showing off its might, once they lose the cover of tanks, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The tanks were destroyed, and the firepower of the remaining armored vehicles was not enough to suppress the Soviet attack. Therefore, some soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and when they saw the Soviet army rushing over, they fled the battlefield hastily without firing a single shot.

  The battle didn't last long, but the effect was not bad. A total of 20 German tanks, 14 armored vehicles and 25 trucks were destroyed, and countless enemies were killed or injured.

   Sokov learned that the troops commanded by Guchakov had successfully inflicted heavy damage on the enemy. While he was very happy, he also felt a little worried. In this battle, more than half of Guchakov's troops were killed or injured. If such victories come again a few times, the commanders and fighters who can recruit good fighters in their hands will be lost. At that time, with a group of recruits, it will be impossible to win.

  Hausser learned that the troops he had sent were attacked by the Soviet army and almost lost all casualties, so he immediately put away the coffee cup in his hand. This cup was given to him by others in France, and he said it was a coffee cup used by Louis XVI. He liked it so much that he cleaned it himself every time, fearing that the orderly would be clumsy and break the cup.

  But at this moment, when he heard that the troops he sent had suffered a big loss again, he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment, and prepared to send troops south again. However, his order was rejected by the commander of the 6th Armored Division. He said sharply: "My 2nd Battalion of the 114th Regiment, equipped with half-track armored personnel carriers, is currently the strongest unit in our division. It can fight against the Russians." Less than an hour after the encounter, they were severely injured, and less than a quarter of the people escaped. If you still send my men south, I worry that it will not be long before there will be only one of my troops left Empty number."

"What about you, General Etling." Seeing that the commander of the 6th Armored Division refused to carry out his order, Hausser could only pin his hopes on Major General Etling, the commander of the 17th Armored Division: "Can your troops Are the Russian cities attacking?"

"General Hausser, please forgive me." Seeing the heavy casualties of the friendly army, Etling was unwilling to let his troops take risks easily, so he said to Hausser: "The reason why the troops of the 6th Armored Division are so It is about to fail, and the reason is very simple. The outside has begun to thaw in the past two days, and the roads have become muddy. Our tanks and armored vehicles cannot move at all. Once stuck in the mud, they will become the target of the Russians, so We cannot act rashly until the roads are favorable for the passage of tanks."

  The reason why Etling said this to Hausser was because he understood that he was the Wehrmacht, and Hausser commanded the SS. From the analysis of the recent battle situation, the higher-ups are preparing to sacrifice the Wehrmacht to complete the SS, let the Wehrmacht and the Russians fight to consume, and wait until the two sides have almost finished fighting before sending the SS division into battle. In this way, the Wehrmacht suffered the most casualties, while the SS won the victory and gained fame. He didn't want his troops to be cannon fodder.

Seeing that the two armored division commanders of the Wehrmacht were unwilling to send their own troops to attack, Hausser was not too close. After all, after Sukov's disturbance, the three SS divisions under him had to go through a period of time. Time to rest before rejoining the battle. Therefore, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, two generals, then I will give you two more days to rest. After two days, no matter what the road conditions are, you must attack the Red Army Village again."
