Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 19: Unscrupulous artillery fire, three cannons destroyed a company, ten kilograms of TNT flew randomly
As the soldiers fell down in response, fire broke out inside the watchtower ahead.

Powerful metal jets splashed in the confined space.

Seven Soviet soldiers were killed in an instant.

The only machine gun stopped firing, and so did several soldiers.

There was a firepower blank state immediately. Mason took the lead, holding an MP38/40 submachine gun and quickly climbed over the obstacles and led the people towards the watchtower.

"Damn it, the Germans are coming"

Lieutenant Valentine saw that Mason and others had rushed to the edge of the watchtower and knew that there was nothing they could do.

"Back up!"

Lieutenant Valentine immediately chose to retreat without any further entanglement.

The reason why we retreated so quickly was to concentrate our efforts on regaining this place.

This place is crucial for the Soviet army. Once it falls, the tractor factory will be finished.

The tractor factory is still producing and repairing tanks.

"Lieutenant Valentine, you have fought with this German army. You should still remember their firepower configuration, right?"

Major Arnoll of a certain cavalry division dismounted and took his beloved horse to ask Lieutenant Valentine.

"Remember, Major, here is the map of the watchtower. There are multiple MG34/42 machine guns covering here, here and here. It is difficult to take advantage of a frontal attack. We need to find a favorable position from the flank to enter the watchtower, so Once the German army comes, they will be passive. It is best to surround the entire watchtower. The German army's current equipment supplies are not enough to support them for how long."

Lieutenant Valentine took out a map wrapped in a plastic bag from the storage bag on his waist, pointed it out to the major, and demonstrated the tactics at the same time.

At the same time, it is recommended to feint from the front and rush in from the left and right sides. If you are lucky, you can directly surround the opponent.

"Second Lieutenant Anders, lead your company to launch a feint attack from the front. Captain Dacre, lead your company and Lieutenant Valentine to attack from the flank and enter the watchtower to eliminate these German troops."

After listening to Lieutenant Valentine's suggestion, the major nodded with satisfaction.

Then he immediately called two of his men to prepare for the attack.

The Soviet cavalry immediately took action.

Although they are called cavalry divisions, they no longer fight on horseback.

The two teams immediately dispersed and headed towards the other side.

One team headed towards the other side of the watchtower.

The Soviet army, which was feigning a frontal attack, was not stupid enough to charge.

The Soviet machine gunners carrying DP light machine guns quickly found a favorable position and began to deploy machine gun firepower to support the operation.

Lie down on the ruins and set up the bipod directly.

From a distance of about 200 meters, burst shooting began towards the watchtower.

The MG42 machine guns on the German side were also firing.

Edward, who was hiding in the bunker, looked at the Soviet formation in front of him.

At a distance of 200 meters, the two sides were shooting at each other, and they had no intention of entering the watchtower. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't the Soviet army rush directly?
"Bucky, go call Hopenoa."

Edward immediately ordered Bucky to call the soldier Hope.

Hopenoa is still acting as a scout, so you have to ask him if necessary.

"second lieutenant"

After receiving the notification, Soldier Hope Noah quickly ran to Edward's bunker and saluted.

"Tell me, how many Soviet troops did you see just now?"

Edward asked, staring at Soldier Hope seriously.

"Second Lieutenant, I can say with certainty that there are no less than four hundred Soviet troops!"

Following Hope's answer, Edward's face darkened.

"These damn guys will definitely not come for a frontal attack! Bucky immediately brought a platoon of soldiers with me, went to the rear to call the tanks for support, and started the half-track armored vehicle assigned to us by the regiment commander. Get up, I will make it impossible for them to come back!"

Edward picked up his submachine gun and put on his helmet.

Both front and back are dead ends. If you don't save everything here, you will miss the mark.

Looking at it, more than 60 soldiers were killed or injured.

Even if there were a hundred supplementary soldiers, they couldn't stand him being so arrogant.

A platoon of German soldiers was quickly rallied.

"Mason, take your people to the left wing and watch me to death. Bill, take your people to the right wing and watch me to death. Bobby, go and prepare the three oil barrels I got back."

Edward immediately issued a combat order.Everyone moved at full speed.

There was a sandbag and welded brackets placed under the three gasoline barrels.

"Lieutenant, where are you singing from?"

Howard asked incomprehensively.

"Give me the gunpowder bag"

After saying that, I started to stuff the bottom fire directly.

"This!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, this was a simple version of the heavy mortar.

It's just that this iron barrel can fire up to five rounds. If there are more than one, it will be fatal if the barrel explodes.

As the fuse was ignited, there was a bang.

A load of explosives weighing ten kilograms flew out.

This is a pure explosive bag. Even a tank with ten kilograms would have to be blown into parts.

"Get down!"

Edward motioned for everyone to get down because the range was too close.

The explosive power of a mere 200 meters and ten kilograms of explosives can be imagined.

These ten kilograms of TNT are almost equivalent to the power of a 155mm howitzer explosion.

There is basically nothing within a 60-meter explosion radius centered on the explosion point, and the maximum impact can reach about 300 meters.

The huge explosion instantly caused a wave of terror to hit.

More than 200 Soviet troops who were about 30 meters away disappeared in an instant.

The sky is mixed with white snowflakes and red snowflakes dripping continuously.

"This! What kind of gun is this? A 150mm heavy infantry gun? It doesn't sound like it. Is it a buried explosive?"

Su Jun was full of conjectures in his mind.

All the Soviet troops in the frontal feint attack were too shocked to speak.

The rain of blood and meat-stuffed intestines and organs were falling continuously.

This terrifying hell-like scene would scare people crazy on the spot.

"What are you doing standing still? Get up and refill quickly."

Edward urged the soldiers to continue.

The soldiers were also frightened by this power.

Then he quickly started loading gunpowder.

After the lighter ignited the fuse.

Everyone lay down and hid behind the bunker without Edward's reminder.

Boom!
There was a muffled groan.

A ten-kilogram explosive package struck the Soviet army again.

"Run!"

The Soviet commander shouted hysterically.

But everything was too late, even though the explosive package flew slowly.

But three seconds was enough to fly, and a huge explosion instantly swept through the Soviet formation again.

In an instant, dozens more Soviet troops were killed.

Countless people were injured.

After this shot, another shot came quickly.

A company of Soviet soldiers was directly reimbursed for seven-tenths of their losses.

The rest of the people were stunned, and their ears were bleeding.

Edward would not miss this good opportunity and led a platoon of soldiers to kill them.
