Chapter 2468 We still have artillery support

"Bah! It's endless. One nest of Krauts is laid in a bunker, and then another one, like a duck laying eggs. What should we do?"

"The old way is to wait first and let the big guys pick up the turtle shells of those Germans before moving forward. Tell the brothers to stop first."

call out--

"Danger!!!"

Boom——

A huge explosion forcibly interrupted the words and screamed in the ears. The roaring hot air waves almost blew Alsim out of the trench.

Fortunately, the moment the explosion sounded, the company officer had already swooped down and forced him to the ground to eat dirt. Although Alsim was in a very embarrassed state after eating something with a mouthful of earthy taste, he was fine at least. He was neither missing an arm or a leg nor was his face covered in blood.

It's just that there was something wrong with that loud explosion just now.

"Suka! That one has a caliber of at least 100 mm. Where did the Germans get it from!?"

Alsim, who was almost killed, was very angry and couldn't wait to know where the shell that almost killed him came from. On the side was someone who had just gotten up from the ground and didn't even have time to pick up the gun. The company officer just spoke loudly.

"In the direction of the bunker group, it should be near the middle one. That one is big enough to accommodate heavy artillery!!!"

"Oh shit"

Holding his hand on the edge of the trench, he poked his head out, took a quick look, and confirmed the largest bunker in the center. Alsim quickly retracted his head and began to take out the armored belt from his lower back. Guys doing stuff, reloading ammunition.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Alsim start moving his hands without saying a word, the company officer who was also quietly looking outside quickly returned to the trench and asked questions.

"That place is too far away, and we can't throw hand-thrown smoke grenades, but it would be dangerous if we lead the guys further. The shot just now was obviously coming towards us, and it must have been exposed."

"Fire two smoke grenades at the bunker group. This is the only way we can do it now. Don't be stunned. Take out this thing of yours and prepare to fight with me. After the fight, we will retreat for a while and let Those Krauts have a taste of shells."

"Comrade Company Commander!"

Before Alsim finished speaking about his plan, an urgent shout came from the other end of the trench. Alsim, who was confused, immediately cast his gaze in the direction of the sound and found that the person coming was the boy he had just sent out to contact the self-propelled artillery support.

"So fast? Did you call the car over? Where is the cannon???"

Alsim only saw this young boy who had only joined his company for less than two months running back alone. He neither saw the figure of the big steel man, nor heard the roar of the engine, nor felt the surroundings. If there was any tremor in the floating soil or the ground under my feet, I couldn't help but feel anxious for a moment, so I asked questions in an irritable tone on the spot.

But he didn't expect that the results this boy would bring to him would be worse than expected.

"No more, there is no artillery support for the time being. The self-propelled artillery unit closest to us has used up all their ammunition. They have retreated to replenish ammunition. Now there is no direct-aimed heavy artillery support."

""

Alsim, who had just stuffed the smoke grenade into the flare gun in his hand, was stunned when he heard this. He blinked his eyes twice and paused for a moment before asking further questions.

"What about the tanks? Didn't you even call for the tanks? There are so many heavy tanks with 122 guns, and some have 130 guns. Calling them over to blast Nasuka with armor-piercing shells will still be useful! Didn't you call for them!?"

The effect of using traditional armor-piercing projectiles to bombard concrete fortifications is indeed poor, especially for those large German fortifications with internal blocking. The limited charge of the projectile warhead cannot be used in a space much larger than the interior of the tank. Inside the fortifications, it exerts complete lethality, and the killing effect on living targets is very limited.

Even the 122-gun bombardment is difficult to achieve very satisfactory results. It is a daily operation to repeatedly bombard and replenish the artillery.

But how do you say something? It's better than nothing. It's better to have artillery than to use a few broken guns to hit the reinforced concrete of the Germans. No matter how bad the situation is, the firepower of the German fortifications can be temporarily suppressed. As long as it is suppressed, the infantry can gain opportunities to advance forward layer by layer, until finally it is completely close to the German fortifications and touches their faces.

At that time, no matter whether the German bunker is square or round, it can be flattened at will. Alsim is even ready to lead people to fight in close combat and defeat all the Germans inside, but the premise is There must be heavy firepower to support the suppression, otherwise all the previous expectations will be empty talk.

Faced with the company commander's loud questioning, the young boy who was selected into the Combat Engineer Corps as a new supplementary force just two months ago because of his outstanding performance and outstanding qualities at the grassroots level was obviously panicked.

After all, he is a "little kid" who is only twenty-three years old. In the peaceful times of later generations, many children of this age have never graduated from college, but now he can be selected into the combat engineer unit of the leadership division based on his own ability. Yes, at least the tactical skills and personal quality are absolutely excellent. As for experience and mentality, it takes time to hone, and you really can't force it too much.

"No, I asked repeatedly on the radio several times. All the nearby tanks close to us have combat missions and cannot support them. Those far away are free, but the combat missions are not allocated in our direction. It takes time to get here. And I still have to apply for it, but I didn’t get any heavy fire support.”

""

"What the hell! Are there no heavy fire support at all? How can we attack now!?"

Alsim's mouth was tightly closed and his face was dark. Before he could speak, the company officer who was beside him was furious and punched the wall of the trench next to him with his fist. He had an angry look on his face. If he had reached this point because he couldn't get it, If you get heavy fire support and are driven down by the Germans, you will lose your pants.

"No, we still have artillery support and one more vehicle."

"One???"

Looking at the dark expression on Alsim's face as he spoke in a deep voice, the company officer who had not reacted for the first time suddenly realized the truth.

"Are you crazy? That is the command vehicle of our company headquarters! If that vehicle falls! You will lose control of the company! It will be a dream if you want to call for any support. This is not possible, absolutely not possible! And that How is it possible that the thing’s 25mm cannon can deal with the German’s turtle shell? That’s absolutely impossible!”

Alsim, who looked calm, did not comment on the words of the company officer. He turned to himself and pointed in the other direction and spoke quietly.

"That's the one I'm talking about"
