Chapter 2507 This is a trap
You can't say that this has no effect at all. In a sense, war itself is a gamble that keeps increasing. No matter how unlucky a gambler is, he can always see some effect when he increases his bet to a certain level. Throwing pebbles into the lake can create some waves, right?
But in Malashenko's view, it is actually infinitely close to performance art, only slightly higher than performance art.
How high is this?
The high German guy actually made a choice and chose to exchange precious technical equipment with human lives of flesh and blood.
Just now, those Corian raids had targeted a certain number of forward infantry combat vehicles and infantry accompanying offensive troops, but the follow-up and surrounding mechanized infantry of the leader division had not yet had time to fully close in and fill the gap. When such a large area of mechanized infantry is missing, the gap where the heavy tank troops of the leading division are sent forward to pursue is used to carry out local infantry counterattacks.
Is this effective?
It may be effective, and it can even be said that it will definitely be effective when facing ordinary Red Army troops. If you make good use of the opportunity of this wave of tank coordination and disconnection, you may be able to repel the attack in one fell swoop, and even if it doesn't work, you can gain some precious breathing time.
But as we all know, the leadership division is not an ordinary Red Army unit.
If the general Red Army troops, or the general Red Army troops, were like the Leader's Division, and the Germans were beating them with hammers, they would just pack up and surrender.
Malashenko knew very well what kind of situation he would encounter when he ordered the pursuit. It can even be said that he had already thought about what to do next in such a situation at the moment he ordered it.
Chasing Corian is only one of the goals. What Malashenko wants to test more is the German guy's reaction. He wants to see if the German guy's IQ is still online.
Many times, it is much easier to deal with a normal enemy with an online IQ than a madman who cannot use common sense to think and judge.
At the very least, enemies with online IQs can be predicted, and their tactical arrangements and battlefield reactions are all predictable.
But the lunatic who makes a blind call does not, and this is precisely the most fatal thing.
To Section Marashen's relief and a little bit of luck, the Germans still belong to the former group even now in the war.
These Germans, who have ingrained rigid meticulousness into their souls, are really rigorous and overly conscientious, so much so that even at the last moment before failure, they still remain rational and do not go crazy, and are still doing things that can make their opponents understand and be more careful. Predictable tactical responses.
In this way, it would be better for Malashenko.
The welcome dishes that have been prepared for the Germans will come in handy at this moment.
"All units stop and take aim, stop the pursuit!"
Whether you keep equipment or people, no matter how you choose as a German, you must leave something for me Malashenko.
After all, the "Living King of Hell" Malashenko doesn't mind whether the thing he chews into his mouth is a piece of meat or a piece of iron. He will accept whatever he wants.
The Germans who were predicted to react by Malashenko were turned around by Malashenko. From the beginning, Malashenko had no intention of killing all the Kollians now. He could only say that he would try to kill as many as possible. Some are the best, but if the situation changes, other substitutes can be used to make do.
The entire local battlefield situation was thus transformed. It was no longer the heavy tank group of the leading division chasing the retreating Corians, thus exposing the weakness of the lack of cooperating infantry to the approaching German infantry.
Instead, they were a group of pure German infantrymen without heavy equipment, not even a decent armored vehicle, let alone a tank. They had already stopped at a distance and began to turn the muzzle of their guns to re-aim. Steel Line of Defense.”
The offensive and defensive momentum became easier in an instant. The German commander who saw this scene clearly through the telescope felt a chill in his back. He had realized the problem and knew that it was a bad dish, but there was nothing he could do to save it and ordered the infantry to withdraw. Chance.
"Aim at the approaching enemy infantry and fire!"
Boom boom boom——
What had been loaded into the chamber and ready to be fired were not armor-piercing rounds, but 122mm and 130mm high-explosive grenades.
The power of those high-explosive grenades that were fired with a bang was so great that before the German infantrymen who tried to charge came closer, they instantly fired a direct-aiming heavy artillery barrage at their location.
A sufficient number of anti-tank infantry is very effective when dealing with tanks that lack cover and fight with a single arm, but that is based on the premise that the uncovered tank troops rush to the defense line and launch an attack, while a sufficient number of anti-tank infantry is waiting to work and defend. The position may indeed produce good results.
But what would happen if the tanks on the opposite side, which lacked cover, did not move, and the anti-tank infantry left their positions to actively attack?
Consider the infantry group charging hard at a fortification group reinforced with artillery and machine guns. It's actually a similar situation. The only difference is that the Russian fortification group opposite is a mobile steel bunker.
Boom——
Boom——
Rumble——
One after another, shocking explosions rang out. Large-caliber heavy artillery and large-caliber machine guns weaved fire nets and barrages flying together. The intensive projected firepower almost instantly formed a zone of destruction shrouded in the shadow of death.
The German infantry who were pressed into various trenches and foxholes and bombed and fired indiscriminately were completely unable to move. They did not even expect that this would be the case. The Russian tanks that were still advancing suddenly stopped. , use the large-caliber grenades used to deal with fortification bunkers to bomb these flesh-and-blood bodies of our own side.
"We're done! This is a trap, a trap! The Russians are just waiting for us to come up and die. It's all over!"
"Damn bastards! We became the scapegoats of those tough guys!"
"Fall back! We have to get out of here, fall back now!"
It's easier to think than to leave. The retreat road blocked by large-caliber direct-aimed artillery and heavy machine gun fire is almost a dead end. The only difference is whether it will be blown to pieces or beaten into a pile of pulp.
Of course, the difference is not big, and Malashenko doesn't care, as long as he is a German stick who is fucked to death.
"Keep up the firepower! Press down and hit, don't let them raise their heads!"
The fire blockade, regardless of cost, completely suppressed this group of at least one battalion of German infantry. Any attempt to retreat would be in vain under the pursuit of extended direct firepower, and would be crushed into powder in the form of penetrating damage and range killing.
Soon, Malashenko, who used crazy firepower to suppress, got the result he wanted.
Not only a large number of scapegoat German infantry either saw the Kaiser, or were trembling in the bunker position where they could die at any time and did not dare to move.
A large number of newly arrived infantrymen were ready to take up their positions. They arrived by car a short distance away and rejoined the heavy tank troops that had moved forward slightly. Along with it, the ISU-152 self-propelled artillery group, which had been replenished for the second time with ammunition, also belatedly came up. The triple combined force of "infantry, tank, and artillery" was once again fully assembled.
And this was exactly when Malashenko expected to launch the final decisive battle.
"Leader, charge! Ula!!!"
