"The report is the artillery support called by the 3rd unit of the special forces." An officer came from the direction of the radio, holding a filled record form in his hand: "They discovered the Soviets during the secret infiltration process One of the battalions directly called artillery strikes. "

"..." Lundstedt felt that he didn't know what to say. For a long time, especially since the First World War, the establishment of the elimination of opponents has become the pursuit of all commanders. Although the Germans often managed to kill each other's battalion when advancing in the wild, they never ended up with a battalion headquarters so neatly in street fighting.

What's more exaggerated is that the formal offensive hasn't started yet. It's just a force responsible for infiltration, which has achieved what was possible before with heavy casualties. Lundstedt suddenly felt the value of his shells hit. Very good value. He turned around and took over the form. He saw the detailed statistics above, including which troops called the artillery support. The purpose was For what, is it effective.

"The firepower requirements of the troops are still too great." After reading the form, Lundstadt finally said a little helplessly. This kind of play is almost to compress the firepower of a division or even an army into a battalion to support it. Of course, no matter what kind of opponents it faces, this battalion can kill an enemy battalion.

Of course, covering a battalion with the heavy firepower of a division can of course achieve unexpected results, but when it comes to the consumption of ammunition and other issues, Lundstedt is now more willing to lose some soldiers ’lives than soldiers of this era. From the 21st century, it is not worth much, but German steel and the production capacity of weapons are very valuable, and the ammunition produced cannot be wasted on such a large scale.

The street fighting style of later generations is based on smooth communication, high-precision weapons, and firepower improvement. At the current stage, if it is barely practiced, it will look like this is gorgeous, but it can only endure pain. Abandoned combat methods.

However, Lundstedt still has a family in Smolensk, and he urgently needs such a quick assault to end the Smolensk street battle, consolidate his defense and give the troops time to rest. So he felt that at least this time, the consumption of the ammunition he invested was worth the fare. As for the next time, he was not sure.

However, I have to admit that the street fighting style proposed by the head of state can indeed reduce the personnel loss of the troops, and it also points the way for the street fighting style in future wars. Lundstedt's hard-to-understand street fighting solution was solved by such a redistribution of firepower to form a fist assault.

Cooperate with a group of 10 special forces to conduct infiltration and artillery positioning attacks on the enemy's important defense nodes, and then widely deploy snipers to cover the occupied area and the front line positions. And interspersed, it really solves the dilemma that conventional warfare can not completely sort out the city.

"We don't have time to consume ammunition like this, wasting our precious time." Lundstedt glanced at the officers of the special operations forces around him and said, "Use your people, your way to cut this city into 4 Block, I will fill in the most elaborate grenadiers and prevent the enemy from escaping. "

He pointed to the map spread out on the ruins and drew a cross across the entire city of Smolensk. The two crossed lines were like two sharp knives, cut in the center of the city: "Then I will Let the recruits start to clean up these areas one by one, as long as they can't move around in the city, I intend to accelerate the capture of the entire city at the cost of 5,000 to 10,000 people. "

Zhukov stared at the frontal battlefield, and Lundstedt dared not delay too long in a city that had already closed. He was afraid that the weak side of the German army would be discerned by opponents. Once this happened, the problems faced by the German army would be very serious.

I am not afraid of Zhukov's immediate counterattack. After all, the Germans still have stocks of oil and ammunition in their hands. I was afraid that Zhukov would hit the entire defense line with a short assault, and after consuming the limited supplies of the German army, then concentrate on launching the attack, that would be the deadliest. According to Lundestedt and Brauchich ’s best estimates, after this situation, the Germans should at least hand over the entire Belarus to the Soviet Union.

In this case, if the Soviet Union did not choose to go west, but chose to go south, Guderian and Manstein were quite dangerous. Once the Germans in the Caucasus were in a dilemma, the entire German plan to attack the Soviet Union completely failed. The Germans will fall into an endless war of attrition, and even if they finally win, they will also lose the power and opportunity to fight for the world.

"Forgive my cold blood, Colonel." Lundstedt sighed regretfully to the officer in charge of special operations: "I am a marshal, and sometimes I have to make difficult choices. To ensure victory, I It can only regret to push thousands of soldiers to the front to die. This is war, helpless war. "

The officer nodded and said to the marshal in front of him, "I fully understand your mood. My troops are organized to reduce casualties, but when there are other elements of time that are higher than the casualty control requirements, we do n’t have Stubborn execution tactics are necessary. "

On the front line, a German infantryman protruded his head from the corner and looked at the quiet street opposite, where a little flame was still burning on the roof, the glass window was broken and the window was black, It looks like a cannibalistic mouth.

He retracted his head, and then made a few gestures to the infantry behind him. From his weapon, it can be seen that this unit is not the battalion used by the Germans for experimentation, nor is it the main force, but only one. Used for infantry consumed in urban combat. The weapons in their hands are mostly Mauser rifles, and most people are not even equipped with white blouses for winter combat.

Some Germans behind were struggling to push up heavy equipment. They pushed something like a cannon, but this guy was taller and more bulky than the German 75mm caliber field gun.

The two German soldiers rubbed the wheels with their hands. Some of the other soldiers pushed hard and pulled hard, and finally got this small weapon to the corner. At this time, the canvas covered was pulled by someone. Open, revealing the real face of the weapon.

This is the mass production version of "Infantry Frederick" customized according to the needs of the front line, which is the official production version of the original multi-tube iron fist rocket launcher factory improved by the infantry. Its weapon codename is "Marx", but the soldiers still like to call it "building destroyer". They have used this name for almost a year, so it is more friendly and easier to remember.

"Preparation" As the platoon commander on the front line shouted out a slogan, a group of German soldiers suddenly exerted force and pushed the multi-barrel rocket launcher across the corner and erected on a spacious street. The raindrops of the Soviets on the opposite side generally hit this rocket launcher and made a jingle.

A soldier was shot in the knee and screamed on the ground. He was dragged back to the corner by the tactical vest straps pulled by two comrades. With an order, the engineer depressed the launcher, and the rocket was swaying violently, and began to fire rocket after rocket.

"Careful attention to safety" With a command, everyone tried to lower their bodies. With the whizzing sound, the rockets that were ejected spread slightly along the entire rack of the rocket launcher and spread to the front of the building at the end of the street, like a heavy hammer, knocking on the wall of the building at once.

The smoke and dust began to spread, the walls of the building increased with the hole, and after the rocket bomb exploded, the load-bearing structure collapsed slowly and began to collapse slowly. Finally, it fell down in the white smoke, carrying dozens of Soviet soldiers inside. , Fell to the ground and shattered into rubble.

A German soldier rushed out of the corner with smoke, crossed the still rocket launch vehicle, and ran to the other side of the street. He picked up the assault rifle in his hand to cover the other soldier who was running.

After the soldier ran across the street, he crawled to the side of the road, and set up a machine gun with agile movements, so that the muzzle of the black hole pointed in the direction of the enemy. Beside him, the third German deputy shooter who ran over left the ammunition box, and then held up the chain of the machine gun.

Then more Germans began to **** towards the end of the street against the wall. They moved very quickly, bending down to minimize the possibility of being shot. Soon these soldiers completely occupied the street, and follow-up troops began to enter the corridor, one by one to check whether there were Soviet soldiers hiding.

The gunfire gradually became denser. The Germans and the counterattack Soviets exchanged fierce exchanges of fire through several buildings. The casualties began to increase gradually. The German field hospital, which was almost empty, took only one hour. Lying full of 400 wounded soldiers.

Smolensk, which originally planned to stick to one month, was unable to form effective support and mobilization under the split environment created by the new German style of play. Only a quarter of the city was lost in only one day. The Germans sorted through the streets in an orderly manner and endured casually fighting against the Soviets in turns, causing the Soviet defenders to pay a heavy price.

On March 25, 1939, Smolensk street fighting remained the same, but the weather in the Soviet Union had changed from cold to slightly warmer.
