Chapter 1461 Strangulation and Melee

The expensive and sparsely produced Suomi submachine gun is a very rare piece of equipment, and only the veteran Red Army veterans know that the enemy has such a weapon. Some of the new recruits who had just finished training and went to the front lines to fight had no idea that such a thing existed.

I even mistakenly thought that the Germans had captured their own Bobosha and used it. After all, this kind of situation can indeed be seen on the battlefield. Only by looking carefully can you see the difference between this Finnish-made weapon and the Bobosha 41. A little different.

Since 1941, Malashenko has led his troops to conquer east and west and fight in north and south. Until now, he has only experienced one large-scale seizure of Somi submachine guns in batches.

That's right, it was the time a few years ago when he helped the guerrillas rob the SS Imperial Division's logistics supply convoy.

That time was also the first time that Comrade Lao Ma really got his hands on the Somi submachine gun of the Finnish ghost guy. Even when there was a lack of automatic weapons at the time, he fell in love with this thing and chose it as his own self-defense weapon. Many other crews under his command are also issued at least one for self-defense.

Even now, the old-fashioned Somi with scratches all over his body is still stuck in Malashenko's commander's seat. Whenever he got out of the car and walked away from the tank and a battle might break out, Malashenko would always carry this thing on his back for self-defense.

Some things are difficult to replace once you get used to them. Even now that he has Bobosa, Malashenko still loves to use this old Somi that has witnessed too many battle experiences.

As for when to replace the Suomi, whose rifling is almost worn out, Comrade Lao Ma has not thought about it yet. We will wait until we meet later. Anyway, it is just a self-defense weapon. It is not a big deal. .

Seeing the remains of a Somi submachine gun at this moment really surprised the Red Army squad leader who led the team.

If I remember correctly, the last time I saw this thing in the hands of a German was more than a year ago.

With the continuous progress of the war and the high-intensity wear and tear of weapons and equipment, Suomi, who could still be seen from time to time in 1941, is now almost an endangered wild animal.

The old squad leader of the Red Army, who was fortunate enough to have used Somi for a period of time, even took a second look at the wreckage of Somi and vaguely felt that today's matter might be different from usual and something was not right.

But the old squad leader himself couldn't say exactly what was wrong. Anyway, it was the kind of sixth sense unique to veterans that couldn't be described in words.

"Get your weapons ready. Let's fight here for a while and wait for our tanks to come up before moving on! There are no bunkers in front of us. We can't go any further. The Germans' firepower is too intensive.

An unobstructed battlefield without any fortifications or trenches dug in advance was equal to the Soviet and German armies on both sides of the war.

The SS soldiers had no available fortification bunkers and could only fight and fire while hiding behind the wreckage and their own armored vehicles.

The Soviet infantry on the offensive side also faced the same dilemma. The only things that could be used as bunkers on the battlefield were the scattered steel wreckage that could be seen everywhere, as well as the tank troops that were exchanging fire with German tanks while slowly advancing.

Some of them are still burning steel remains that you can't even stick to and use. Unless you want to be barbecued as human flesh, you can try it.

As a result, the Red Army soldiers, who were surrounded by crazy SS firepower everywhere, if they wanted to move forward, they could only quickly move from one wreckage bunker to the back of another closer wreckage bunker, similar to what has not happened yet. Just like Allied soldiers did on the beachhead during the Normandy landings.

But the distribution of debris on the battlefield is really irregular. Some are very close and some are far away.

If you leave the bunker rashly and move, you will only expose yourself to crazy firepower and be beaten into a hornet's nest in an instant, resulting in death on the spot. Apart from this, there are no other solutions. It is also a good idea to wait for your own tank to drive up and follow the tank forward.

However, the current situation is that the battle between the infantry and the strangulation between the men of steel are going on simultaneously. The Red Army tanks, which do have the upper hand in terms of numbers, are unable to get out for a while and are busy dealing with the broken tanks of the Germans. There is no way to be efficient for the time being. The ground cooperates with the infantry to advance forward.

The SS fanatics who had reached this stage of the battle were already red-eyed. The infantrymen picked up the weapons in their hands and opened fire with all their might. The armored soldiers stayed in their steel bodies, which were not enough to give them an absolute sense of security. The ready-to-fire shells were pushed into the chamber one after another, and they fired at the Russian tractors that were already close at hand.

It's fine if you only deal with those medium-sized tanks. What's really fatal are those Russian heavy tanks that don't care about distance at all and rush all the way to the face.

Every move of those Russians seems to be absolutely confident in their armored defenses, and they are not afraid of being hit by their own main guns at any distance, let alone penetrated.

And it wasn't until the close combat that these SS armored soldiers, who had previously ignored a key detail, noticed a key point: the maneuvering speed of these Russian heavy-duty tractors was simply too fast!

This is not to say how flexible the opponent's heavy tanks are, but just in terms of speed. The crazy forward speed of pressing the accelerator to the bottom is really ridiculously fast!

The SS armored soldiers, who were used to the slightly clumsy forward speed of their own Tiger and King Tiger, were surprised by the powerful speed attribute of the IS6 heavy tank, a medium-tank class, and were left in a hurry and overwhelmed.

The IS6 heavy tank in the close assault will not only bombard the front weakness of the German Panther 2's turret, but will also take the initiative to occupy a more favorable combat position and carry out high-speed flank attacks. The SS armored soldiers were forced to turn their guns and vehicle bodies, turning the targets that could have been dealt with more easily into the Russian giant iron bastards that were extremely difficult to deal with at close range.

The only purpose of the Red Army's heavy tanks was to attract firepower and hatred for their own medium-sized tanks that were crispy and easy to destroy by the Germans.

It sounds like putting the cart before the horse. The battle that should have been a medium tank using its mobility to move forward to attract firepower, and a heavy tank holding down the formation with powerful firepower is now completely reversed.

But when it comes to this kind of face-to-face fight, which is almost turning into a mess, how the crew below performs and how to fight is no longer within the control of Malashenko or even Kulbalov. .

Human energy is so limited, and it is not a powerful artificial intelligence AI. You can still accurately command the specific tactical actions of each vehicle. Can you pick up the radio and shout "such and such vehicle moves five meters to the left"? Lao Ma is not the captain of the transportation team.
