Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 756 The German-Soviet War (70)

"boom!"

In a dilapidated five-story building, the sniper team hidden in the innermost room of the fifth floor heard a dull explosion from downstairs and instantly became vigilant. "A guest?!" This was the hidden mine they planted at the entrance of the first floor corridor before coming up. Each building occupied by the sniper team will be marked with special marks and codes. Our own people will not break in rashly, they will detonate it. This hidden mine can only be targeted by enemies.

The three of them waited quietly. If there were three or five people coming, a hidden mine would be able to easily deal with them. Otherwise, they would definitely continue going upstairs.

Sure enough, after a while, noisy noises were heard from downstairs. They had already reached the third floor and were breaking down the doors of each house to search. At least a dozen people heard the noise. "There is a road to heaven if you don't take it, but if there is no door to hell you have to find your own way." The coverer spat, took out a small periscope, put it against the door and looked down the corridor. The other hand holds a detonator with a fuse connected to a directed anti-infantry mine placed in the corridor.

This first-generation anti-infantry directional mine is the ancestor of the famous M18A1 "Broadsword" mine. In later generations, due to the popularity of video games and movies, "Broadsword" mines and similar types of weapons gradually became more widely known. In 1945 in the original time and space, due to successive defeats on the Eastern Front, the Axis powers were in urgent need of a weapon that could counter the Soviet army's "human sea tactics". At this time, German weapons expert Hubert Sardin discovered that on a curved The explosive is detonated behind the steel plate. When the latter detonates, most of the impact force will act on the steel plate, and the steel plate will be torn into countless high-speed flying shrapnel, and its destructive power is amazing. At that time, people named this discovery the Sardin explosion effect, and designed a directional mine based on it.

However, before it could be put into production, World War II came to an end, and this technology quickly fell into the hands of the United States, which in turn provided inspiration for the birth of the "Broad Sword." In the 1960s, the U.S. military was involved in the Vietnam War, and this became the first battlefield for the "Broad Sword". During the battle, the U.S. military used them to resist the overwhelming offensives of the North Vietnamese army, and time and again helped the U.S. military survive in desperate situations. .

The "Broad Sword" not only has amazing power, but also subverts traditional tactical dogma: For example, when the opponent deploys a "Broad Sword", the difficulty of their surprise attack will be greatly increased - when approaching, During the process, they need to be more vigilant, especially paying attention to those dark and inconspicuous corners; and for the defenders, if they cannot appreciate the value of the "broad sword", they will undoubtedly lose an important helper - according to the previous tactical principles , the task of landmines is only to create a restricted area, and then drive the enemy into one's own crossfire. During World War II and Korea, the US military's tactical guide bluntly declared: "Landmines cannot serve as an effective killing tool."

But there is no doubt that the "Broad Sword" subverted the above-mentioned creed and changed the soldiers' understanding: in the open field, the lethality of each of them is equivalent to a cannonball, which means that as long as the "Broad Sword" is deployed skillfully, The enemy's attack can be deployed in the budding stage. In addition, experience has also proved that the "Broad Sword" is also very suitable for ambush warfare-in the Indochina Peninsula, it is also an important means for the US military to kill North Vietnamese troops in addition to air strikes and artillery attacks.

The irony is that as such a powerful weapon, the "Broadsword" failed to help the United States win the war - it only made the latter sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire: domestically, anti-war waves broke out one after another; and internationally, The image of this country has become increasingly distorted and cruel - "Broadsword", along with carpet bombing, Agent Orange and other methods, has become a symbol of the ruthlessness of the US military, and accusations from all walks of life have become more and more frequent: because their deployment is So widespread, and the damage so lasting.

However, the powerful "Broad Sword" quickly attracted the attention of various countries/militaries. Soon after, the production technology of the "Broad Sword" was imitated and mastered by many countries. Among them, the most representative one is the MON-50 produced by the Soviet Union.

At this moment, these unlucky Soviet soldiers are about to face this terrible weapon of the era.

Soon, a dozen Soviet soldiers rushed up to the fifth floor. Seeing the opportunity, the cover hand gently pressed the detonator in his hand.

"boom!"

The explosive energy of 700 grams of high explosives caused hundreds of steel balls to sweep across the entire corridor in an instant, beating the Soviet soldiers to bloody pulps and causing them to fall to the ground screaming in pain.

The cover hand stuck his head out, made sure everyone was shot and fell to the ground, and then said hello behind him. "Wolf, let's go down there." The hidden mine on the first floor was detonated, and they had to relocate one.

The observer Wolf patted the sniper next to him, stood up and took out a broadsword mine and a grenade from the bag on the side. With a Scorpion submachine gun on his waist, he followed the screener out of the room.

After placing broadsword mines in the corridor, the two of them walked toward the stairs. Several Soviet soldiers were not completely dead and were still groaning in pain. The coverman casually picked up a Mosin-Nagant rifle with a bayonet on the ground and stabbed each of these people once to free them.

The two of them carefully came to the first floor. As soon as they stepped out of the stairs, there was a gunshot, and a bullet whizzed in, grazing the top of the covering hand and flying quickly, hitting the wall behind them.

"!!" The cover hand was startled. He raised the assault rifle in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the bullet. It suddenly fired all the bullets in a magazine. Only then did he notice that it was an injured Soviet soldier sitting in the corner. At this moment, he had been hit by more than a dozen bullets, and he was dead. There were three corpses neatly placed next to him.

"Damn it! This bullet almost killed me!!" The cover hand looked at the bullet hole on the wall and wiped cold sweat with lingering fear.

"You're such a lucky kid!" Wolfe patted the coverer's shoulder, and then the two of them searched the first floor to make sure nothing had slipped through. Then they took out a grenade and set a hidden mine at the entrance of the stairs. .

The cover hand who was about to go upstairs suddenly stopped, pulled out his dagger and dug out the warhead embedded in the wall. "I have to keep a souvenir."

"..." Looking at the statistical casualty report, Commander Shaposhnikov looked very ugly.

In just one day, their casualties reached more than 30,000.

If the fight continues like this, their army of one million people may not be able to hold on for even a month and will be completely annihilated!

"It seems we can only launch a night attack!"

A set of roundabout raid tactics had been formulated before, but the underground fortifications on the edge of the city had been completely destroyed by the Germans, and this tactic was abandoned. Now only night raids were left.
