Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 758 The German-Soviet War (72)

How to fight back against the Germans?

This question really stumped everyone present, and the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a general spoke in an inaudible voice. "We should regain air supremacy first." German aircraft almost covered the entire sky above Smolensk, which was quite detrimental to our own ground operations. If we want to effectively counterattack the German army, the top priority is to solve the problem of air supremacy.

"..." Commander Shaposhnikov looked at him speechlessly. Seize air supremacy? Can it be done? ! Not to mention Soviet fighter jets, even American fighter jets were no match for the Germans. How could they regain air supremacy? It’s simply a fantasy! ! Moreover, the intentions of the Germans are quite obvious. After capturing Smolensk, their next target is Moscow. Those fighter jets have been transferred to defend Moscow. How could Comrade Stalin send them here to fight for air supremacy. If we send too few people, we will give away lives in vain. If we send too many people, how can we defend Moscow? !

While everyone in the conference room was racking their brains to think of countermeasures, the German attack was still advancing in an orderly manner.

"Da da da!"

A Soviet bunker blocked the German army's path, and several machine guns fired wildly, blocking the entire street.

The German platoon leader hiding at the corner took out his periscope and observed the bunker opposite. The sound was a Maxim heavy machine gun and two light machine guns. The streets here were narrow, and these three machine guns firmly blocked the entire intersection, which was a bit tricky.

What's even more troublesome is that the bunker is built at the bottom of a building. Even if an attack plane is called in to drop bombs, it may not be able to accurately hit and destroy it. Moreover, there are all kinds of messy construction debris piled outside the bunker to increase the protection measures. Even if their Iron Fist rockets can hit, they may not be able to destroy it. What's more, under such intensive firepower, leaning out and firing an iron fist would basically mean a narrow escape.

The German platoon leader was not willing to let his soldiers die in vain, so he ordered a soldier next to him. "Hans, let's go see if the assault gun has been repaired." On the way here, a mine broke off the track of the assault gun, and it could only lie there waiting for repairs. If the assault gun fires again, a single shell from the 150mm cannon can blast the bunker into the sky.

However, none of them noticed that on the rooftop of a building in the distance, a sniper rifle was pointed at the bunker.

"The distance is 450 meters, the right wind direction is level 3 to 4." Listening to the data given by the observer, the sniper slowly held his breath, pressed the crosshair in the sight mirror onto the shooting hole, and pressed his fingers steadily trigger.

"boom!"

The bullet accurately shot into the shooting hole that was constantly spitting out tongues of flame, and a light machine gun immediately went silent. The machine gunner clutched his stomach and fell to the ground screaming, a stream of blood gurgling from the gaps between his fingers.

"Medic! Someone has been shot!" The Soviet soldier next to him immediately pulled him aside, and the medic briefly bandaged his wound. "The injury is too serious and surgery must be performed immediately."

"You two, take him to the medical room." Just as the squad leader on the side ordered, another machine gunner was also shot and fell to the ground.

"!!" The squad leader frowned slightly. Two bullets flew into the machine gun firing hole in such a short period of time. He didn't think this was an accident. Before he had time to wonder how the bullets could be shot through these narrow shooting holes so coincidentally, the machine gunner of the Maxim heavy machine gun screamed and fell to the ground on his back. The bullet hit his chest and took his life away.

Now everyone reacted. "There is a German sniper! Look for it! Hurry! Keep shooting, don't let the Germans get close!!" The squad leader gave the order loudly and shouted to the soldiers guarding the phone. "Call for support! There are German snipers! We need soldiers to support us!"

The remaining soldiers stepped forward without hesitation, picked up their machine guns and continued shooting. However, before firing for a few seconds, three machine gunners were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

Six machine gunners were killed and injured at once, which was undoubtedly a terrible pressure on the remaining Soviet troops; after even the squad leader was seriously injured, no one even dared to continue to operate those machine guns.

The Soviet machine guns fell silent, and the German platoon leader at the street corner picked up the periscope and looked at it suspiciously. "What's going on?" At this time, Hans, who was sent to find the assault gun, ran back. "Platoon commander, the assault gun will have to wait a while before it can be repaired."

There was no sound of Soviet machine gunfire again, and the platoon leader gave instructions to the soldiers holding grenade guns. "Two smoke bombs."

The grenadier fired two smoke bombs at the bunker. After the smoke filled the air, the platoon leader took the lead and rushed towards the Soviet bunker. Even if the Iron Fist cannot destroy the bunker, they have another terrible weapon that can destroy the bunker; that is the flamethrower. As a melee weapon, the flamethrower is used to attack buildings, bunkers and fortifications and to clear out remaining enemies. This weapon can be called a defensive offensive terminator at a distance of 30 meters, and its impact on the enemy's morale is immeasurable.

Under the cover of smoke, they successfully arrived more than 20 meters away from the bunker. The German flamethrower operator aimed the launcher in his hand at the approximate location of the shooting hole. He pressed the firing valve device without hesitation, and the compressed gas in the cylinder spurted out from the shooting port with fuel, and then was ignited by the burning flames and sprayed towards the bunker shooting hole more than 20 meters away.

At this time, a Soviet reinforcement arrived at the bunker. Seeing that the remaining soldiers in the bunker were cowering and no one dared to approach the machine guns, the newly arrived Soviet squad leader suddenly became furious. "Hurry up and fire! The Germans are coming!" But because the smoke from the smoke bombs affected their vision, the newly arrived machine gunners didn't know where to shoot.

Suddenly, a scorching light burst through the smoke toward them. Hot napalm poured into the bunker through the shooting holes. Those unlucky machine gunners were the first to bear the brunt. The hot feeling came from their faces, and the burning pain became all their memories. Until he lost all feeling, the biting burning sensation became the only thing they could feel. thing. Then terrible flames filled the entire bunker, and the heart-rending screams could be heard clearly even by the German soldiers not far away.

Seeing the flames pouring out of the bunker, the German platoon leader did not rush to issue an attack order. Because this bunker may lead to the Soviet underground fortifications. Once it is lost, the underground Soviet troops will blow up the entrance. If they approach rashly, they might be affected.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, a dull explosion came from below the bunker, and a large piece of the ground where the bunker was located collapsed.
