Chapter 1493 Anti-aircraft gun shooting

What should a high-level raid fight look like?

Maybe the answer to this question is ever-changing, and there are different answers to answer depending on the situations and situations you face, but at least one thing in common can be confirmed, that is, you must be prepared in advance and make as many arrangements as possible. , an insufficiently prepared surprise battle is bound to face failure.

As an SS veteran with rich battlefield experience, Scott did anticipate such possible emergencies.

But what he expected in advance was that the National Defense Forces might have heavy weapons such as armored vehicles, or a large number of machine guns that could suppress their own firepower. It was not that he expected that the National Defense Forces still had them in their hands. A 75mm anti-tank gun.

But this is no longer important now. What is important is that the back-up measures Scott has prepared to deal with sudden emergencies are enough to deal with such a predicament, but as far as this is concerned, it is enough. .

The object Scott prepared for emergencies can really be regarded as a big killer. In the current situation, it is the kind of existence that can sweep across the battlefield and crush all soft targets of infantry. This is a weapon that is mounted on A FLAK 38 quadruple-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft gun on a half-track in the center of the convoy.

Naturally, Scott did not bring this anti-aircraft half-track vehicle to use it for shooting. Instead, he expected this anti-aircraft half-track vehicle to be able to lower its muzzle and fire flatly at critical moments. It would serve as the strongest firepower and mainstay of his assault convoy. exist.

Just as Scott expected, after noticing that there were several idiots from the National Defense Forces within his sight, they were busy unhooking an anti-tank gun from a tractor truck and preparing to aim and fire at their own side. .

This anti-aircraft half-track vehicle, which was already ready to go, immediately lowered its side armor baffles to create a firing angle for the anti-aircraft guns. The gunner sitting on the chair of the anti-aircraft gun position quickly turned the gun mount steering gear in his hand and turned the muzzle. , the four black 20mm gun ports have already aimed at the target as quickly as possible.

"Target anti-tank gun! Fire!"

Dong dong dong dong——

Different from the Navy 37 mobile phone with poor reputation, the FLAK 38 quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun is a very excellent anti-aircraft weapon.

When the war to invade the Soviet Union broke out, it was once the low-altitude protective umbrella for the German front-line troops. With the intensive firepower and high-speed flexible output of the quadruple unit, it destroyed many low-altitude Red Army fighters and attack aircraft. It is a very worthwhile aircraft. A reliable low-range air defense gun.

An excellent anti-aircraft gun must not only be useful for flying aircraft, but also be useful when dealing with ground targets. Only in this way can it be called an excellent anti-aircraft gun that meets the requirements of being an all-rounder on the battlefield.

The four bright green tracer barrages that crackled instantly rushed towards the 75mm anti-tank gun that had not been fully deployed.

The few Wehrmacht soldiers who were manning artillery and preparing to fire would not have expected that in the light convoy opposite, which seemed to only have half-tracks and trucks, there would be such a powerful weapon as a half-track anti-aircraft vehicle. They were unprepared. In an instant, he was swallowed up by a dense fire net composed of four barrages.

Because they were shooting while on the move and relatively bumpy, the anti-aircraft barrage that hit them all over the place was somewhat inaccurate and a little skewed.

However, the high-rate quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft gun is not a tank gun that fires and reloads one round after all. The dense barrage fire network weaved by the extremely high rate of fire is enough to make up for the shortcomings in accuracy.

The few Wehrmacht soldiers who didn't even have time to escape were really unlucky. The 20mm cannon barrage, which lacked accuracy but was extremely dense, instantly tore apart several Wehrmacht soldiers who were hit in the torso, and then exploded on the spot. There was blood mist and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Then two more Wehrmacht soldiers who were not hit in their vital organs were directly hit in the legs by 20mm projectiles. Their flesh and blood were blown away on the spot, their bones were broken, and they fell to the ground wailing and screaming.

"Legs! My legs, ahhhhh!!!"

"Help me, someone help me! My legs, my legs!!!"

The piercing screams were so heartbreaking that they could be heard clearly and clearly in this cruel and bloody night even from a distance of several hundred meters.

Scott is not worried that his soldiers will be shaken by this. Almost all of the elite SS Panzergrenadiers are war machines that carry out orders efficiently. Such things as personal emotions have long been removed from their dictionary. Erased, even if he personally hanged a seven or eight-year-old girl who was considered a guerrilla family member, he would show no mercy, and killing a few cowards of the National Defense Force would be a piece of cake.

What's more, these Wehrmacht softies who want to surrender to the Russians have violated the Führer's order to fight to the end, so there is no need to consider the psychological burden whether they kill these guys for reasons or for reasons. Fanatic loyalty to the Führer and the execution and maintenance of the Führer's orders were the sacred duty of the SS. This was unquestionable from beginning to end.

But even so, Scott still felt quite uncomfortable hearing the miserable screams in his ears.

Unlike the foreign SS troops in the Viking Division, their Varoni Panzergrenadier Brigade is an elite armed SS force composed of real Germans, so the current situation can be regarded as a kind of fratricide. Brothers stabbing each other.

Scott did not pity the weak Wehrmacht who wanted to surrender, but felt that since everyone was the German armed forces, why did they end up in such a situation of killing each other today. Thinking back to that time in 1941, it happened that the SS and the Wehrmacht were united and held the position under artillery fire in the same trench.

Scott, who had personally experienced this scene, even felt at the time that the Wehrmacht and the SS could actually seek common ground while reserving differences, fight side by side, and rely on each other. After all, everyone was moving in the direction pointed by the Führer's Sword. Fight hard.

But now, Scott, who was still sitting in the passenger seat, recalled his ridiculous idea and glanced at the cruel reality that was happening in front of him. He could only grin at himself and then stopped. Say a little more.

"I really hope this can end soon, and these bastards and cowards will stop coming out to die! Damn it, we just want freedom, can't we just get the gas and leave!?"

The driver, who was holding the steering wheel while avoiding fire and stepping on the accelerator, was cursing continuously. For some reason, these weak Wehrmacht soldiers who had already planned to surrender to the Russians were still running like frightened rabbits from the military camp. People kept running out of the tent and coming from places further out of sight to die.

Considering the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to describe this situation as a one-sided massacre.
