    Chapter 1244: Hold the position Amidst the dense sound of gunfire, the explosion of high-explosive grenades fired by tank guns is particularly distinctive.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Online Reading Novel) "Bang Bang" Because the tank gun has a high chamber pressure, the tank grenade has a very thick wall, which directly results in less explosives being loaded inside the shell, and the sound of the explosion sounds similar to  The sounds of howitzers and mortars are very different. Perhaps to the ears of civilians, the explosion of high-explosive tank grenades is similar to the explosion of high-explosive howitzers. But to the ears of professional soldiers, the explosions of the two cannon shells are  They are completely different, and the methods of dealing with them are also different. The grenades fired by howitzers often fall from the sky. You can effectively protect yourself by lying on the ground unless the distance is too close, while the grenades fired by tank guns often shoot directly.  At close range, it usually does not hit the ground, but hits the wall of a nearby street and explodes on the wall. The shrapnel sweeps towards the road. At this time, lying on the ground is very dangerous. The best way to avoid it is to  The method of bombing is not to lie still on the street, but to quickly cross the street and go to a neighborhood where there are few gunfire.  Now, Qi Chengfeng is leading a group of paratroopers, quickly crossing this dangerous neighborhood, because the explosion of those artillery shells is too familiar, that is, German tanks are firing at the streets here within direct range.  The artillery shells shattered the walls and buildings that separated the two blocks piece by piece to facilitate the German infantry assault. In the past, the German tanks directly used the front of the car to smash through the walls and buildings, but in the hands of the Chinese paratroopers, the anti-tank rocket launchers  Under the threat, the German tank crews no longer dared to do this. They could only park the tanks on the open ground at a distance, and then fire at the target to avoid those deadly armor-piercing rockets.  During the battles yesterday and today, this town has basically been turned into ruins. There are only a few intact buildings left. The German howitzers have turned the town into a pile of rubble. However, it turns out that blind shelling has the opposite effect.  Helping the defending side, the ubiquitous ruins are the best bunkers for the Chinese paratroopers. They use these crumbling buildings or buildings that have become ruins to deal with the attacking German troops. In the eyes of the German soldiers, those  There are often deadly murderous intentions hidden in seemingly non-threatening ruins, such as booby traps and landmines. The key is the almost ubiquitous snipers, who caused heavy casualties to the German infantry. In this street fighting situation  , all Chinese paratroopers can be regarded as snipers. They do not need professional sniper rifles at all. They can only use the automatic rifles in their hands that are the same as the stg44 assault rifles in the hands of German infantry. At this close range,  In the state of combat at a distance, as long as your shooting skills are not too bad, you can become a sniper.  Now, Qi Chengfeng is holding a B1936 automatic rifle in his hand. Although this kind of rifle is not very accurate when shooting continuously, it is also very ideal in close-range street fighting if the single-shot shooting mode is used.  Assault weapon, and because it was designed with a folding stock from the beginning, it is very suitable for paratroopers to carry. This automatic rifle is not only the most powerful rifle in the hands of Chinese paratroopers, but also uses more bullets than the German stg44  The bullets of the assault rifle are more powerful, so they can fire violently at the German infantry hiding behind the brick wall at close range. The bullets are enough to penetrate the brick wall and use the remaining kinetic energy to kill the German infantry behind the wall.  The assault rifles inside cannot do this and can only use machine guns, which also results in the German individual soldiers' firepower being inferior to the Chinese paratroopers.  Although he is already the acting brigade commander of the First Air Assault Brigade of the Chinese Airborne Forces, Qi Chengfeng is still personally participating in the battle. Now the battle on the bridgehead has reached a critical moment, and everyone who can hold a rifle must participate in the battle.  Just now, Qi Chengfeng had withdrawn all the troops guarding the bridgehead on the west side of the railway bridge to the bridgehead on the east side. Now, he was leading a reinforcement team to the approach position of the railway bridge, where another fierce battle had just broken out.  Under the cover of tanks, the German infantry tried to seize the bridge approach position and regain control of the entire railway bridge. Now, Qi Chengfeng is leading the reinforcements to support. At the same time, his unit is also the last reserve unit of the brigade.  .  Originally, Qi Chengfeng and his reinforcements were heading to the approach bridge position in two German half-track vehicles captured during the battle. However, they were suddenly attacked by German artillery fire on the way, and the wheels of the two half-track vehicles were destroyed by shrapnel.  Everyone could only get off the car and walk. Fortunately, they were not far from the approach bridge position. If they advanced for a few minutes, they would reach the approach bridge position.  However, the plan always failed to keep up with the changes. After arriving in this neighborhood, Qi Chengfeng found that another German army was using tanks to shell the buildings and walls of the adjacent neighborhood, and this neighborhood was on the flank of the approach bridge position. This obviously showed that,  This German unit is a Chinese paratrooper intending to flank the approach bridge position.  We can¡¯t just watch this German army circle around to the flank of the approach bridge position, soQi Chengfeng made a prompt decision and decided to establish a new blocking position here to block the German troops that were encircling from the flanks.  At the same time, Qi Chengfeng also ordered the communications troops to contact the commander of the bridge approach position again through the radio using code words, inform them of the situation here, and transfer a support force from the east position to increase the bridge approach position. As for the east position  , you can compress it further to the west. The defense line is currently getting shorter and shorter.  "Bazooka operators, go up snipers, go over there and occupy the roof You guys, go over there and plant a few mines You guys, follow me and carry these ammunition into the ruins over there and you new recruits.  , follow the veteran, don¡¯t run around, don¡¯t shoot randomly, wait for the enemy to come up before attacking.¡± Qi Chengfeng quickly arranged the layout, and soon, several core buildings and ruins in this block became like this.  A group of Chinese paratroopers were in the blocking position. They were not many in number, only about twenty people in total. However, they did not hesitate to ambush in this neighborhood, preparing to meet the German roundabout force of 500 people. Moreover, the enemy also had  At least six tanks and assault guns.  Soon, Qi Chengfeng and his men completed their deployment. At this time, the German army also used tanks to blast a gap of about fifty meters on the south side of the block. That was the German army's breakthrough point. Qi Chengfeng  Feng was sure, so he asked his men to set up the first fire ambush point there.  The remaining thing is to wait for the German army to come over. If the tanks come in first, they will be served by rocket launchers. If the infantry comes in first, they will be served by machine guns. In the morning, the Air Force conducted another supply airdrop to the bridgehead position, and there was still enough ammunition.  "Prepare gas masks" Qi Chengfeng shouted to the radio. Although he has not been attacked by enemy gas since joining the war, there are rumors that the German army used poison gas in the Caucasus battlefield, although it is not clear exactly.  What is the nature of the poisonous gas, but it is better to be cautious. After all, this is a war, and this battle is directly related to whether tens of thousands of German elites can successfully withdraw across the Kezel River to Ankara. No one can guarantee that the German commander will not  A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry.  After reminding his subordinates, Qi Chengfeng also took off the protective tube of the gas mask hanging on his lower back and put it in front of his eyes. He did not plan to put it on immediately because it would affect his breathing and sight. If there was no suspicious smoke,  Gas masks are of no use.  At the same time, Qi Chengfeng also took off two tear gas grenades from his armed belt and placed them next to the gas mask. This was certainly not poison gas, but it could be effective in a confined space and could partially act as a smoke screen.  Now, the paratroopers had no smoke grenades to use.  Qi Chengfeng was lying next to the door frame of a building. It was impossible to tell what the building was used for before, because it had been directly hit by the shell and half of it collapsed, leaving only the side facing the street.  The wall was broken, and behind this building was another street. Currently, that street was also guarded by Chinese paratroopers, but there were no more troops to reinforce here, so Qi Chengfeng did not come from  Reinforcements were mobilized from the rear positions, and the bridgehead battle at this moment was basically in a situation where everyone was fighting independently.  "Da da da da da da" The battle started quickly. The first ones to rush over were indeed the German infantry. They were immediately intercepted by the Chinese paratroopers' machine gun fire. They suffered heavy casualties at the gap and were captured within half a minute.  Called back.  Then came the tank assault. A German "Panther" medium tank turned its turret to the rear, used the front of the vehicle to ram open another section of the building base wall, and broke into the street. But before it could rotate the turret, an 85mm  The super-caliber anti-tank rocket flew from the balcony of a two-story building next to the street, hit the top of the turret of the "Panther" tank, and detonated smoothly. The hot and high-speed metal jet instantly penetrated  It penetrated the thin armor plate of the tank turret, penetrated the head of the German tank ammunition operator on the spot, and also penetrated the 75mm tank high-explosive grenade that the ammunition operator was holding in his hand, igniting the propellant in the shell.  , not only was the head of the German ammunition hand blown open, but the high-explosive grenade also fell, rolling and sending sparks to the outside of the shell.  Since the commander's hatch of this "Panther" tank was open, the anti-tank rocket launched by the Chinese paratrooper did not cause high pressure inside the tank. In addition to the death of the unlucky German ammunition hand, other  Several tank crew members were not directly injured by the rocket. Moreover, when they discovered the burning high-explosive grenade, they shouted to touch the sparking shell. The tank commander quickly  He took off his armor, wrapped the shell, picked it up, and prepared to throw it out of the tank. However, before he could stuff the shell into the mouth of the shell, another rocket fell from the sky accurately.  From thereThe commander jumped into the tank through the hatch and detonated smoothly. The rocket exploded inside the tank. The power of this attack was not comparable to the first rocket.
