USSR 1941

Shulka understood then why the Germans poured shells on the central fortress instead of the Kobrin fortress... That damned instructor, who told the Germans the whole plan, betrayed everyone.

Shulka guessed right, and the German army urgently used two 600MM mortars for this reason.

Colonel Lucas couldn't help but praised the plan when he heard it: "Who said that those Ivans don't know tactics and only know how to fight? This is a perfect plan. If there are no traitors among them who inform us, we will You must successfully escape from our encirclement!"

Colonel Lucas was right. He himself believed that the direction of the Soviet breakout was in the northern forest and mobilized the main force to the corresponding position. Only now did he know that the Soviets had deliberately released the news.

At this time, Colonel Lucas, of course, would not continue this mistake. He immediately ordered the artillery to bomb the possible positions of the Soviet army, and then immediately sent reinforcements to the east.

As a result, the Soviet army that was gathering near the church was in trouble.

The first is psychological.

If it was just an ordinary soldier who rebelled and surrendered, it would be nothing. After all, the Soviet army is indeed in crisis at this time... Even if they can break through and get rid of Brest's pursuit as planned, they are waiting for them ahead. But it is a swamp that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The Soviets knew the swamp, so they knew what they were about to face, and even crossing the swamp did not necessarily mean safety.

The problem is that the one who betrayed was the instructor. The instructor who always stands on the commanding heights and speaks out the truth, will always be charged with traitors and cowards. traitor!

The psychological blow to the soldiers was extremely heavy.

Perhaps considering this, Major Gavrilov was stunned for a while before denying: "No, this is an irresponsible rumor. You..."

Major Gavrilov glanced around, and then ordered in an unquestionable voice: "No one is allowed to speak nonsense without knowing it, understand?"

"Yes, Comrade Major!"

"yes!"

...

Major Gavrilov's approach is correct, although it is unfair to many soldiers, especially those soldiers who were shot or charged by the instructor...Why do the soldiers draw conclusions or even shoot the charges without careful verification? And the crime of the instructor is "rumor".

But the battlefield has never been fair, it only has "right" and "wrong".

Okunev was aggrieved, he couldn't help spitting, and said in a low voice, "I have an idea, Shulka, why don't we surrender to the Germans and kill that guy?"

Shulka understood Okunev's thinking.

Compared with those enemies, what is more hateful are those who usually ride on the soldiers' heads and do their best, but turn back at the critical moment. It would drive a man mad, and he would be desperate to find him and kill him, even if it meant infamy.

But this approach is obviously not a wise choice.

"Don't be a fool, actor!" Shulka said. "Even if you did, they wouldn't lock you up with the director!"

"Should we just let him live like this?" Okunev said: "Somewhere across the river, that guy may be leisurely watching us fall in pieces under the guns of the Germans." down, bleeding, losing life..."

"Don't worry, actor!" Shulka interrupted Okunev: "The Germans won't make it easy for him!"

Shulka said this because he knew that the Germans had a custom of shooting Soviet political workers.

Of course, the instructor didn't know this when the war had just broken out, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to surrender.

While speaking, the first batch of attacking troops had already carried the rafts to the river bank in the dark,

They put the raft into the river, set up a machine gun, filled it with men, and rowed to the opposite bank.

There are a total of twenty-five rafts, each of which can carry ten people, and most of these ten people can swim... Most of the Soviet troops stationed in the Brest Fortress can swim because the fortress is surrounded by rivers, It has become a habit to swim in the river for a while in free time.

The twenty-five ships were divided into three parts, with eight or nine ships in each part, spread out as far as possible from the top, middle and bottom to attack the opposite bank.

If the plan has not been leaked, there is no doubt that the probability of success is quite high... The first wave of attack is 250 people against a platoon of German troops on the opposite side, and it is a night attack. It is very likely that a single charge will take down the opposite position.

Then, the Soviet army can build fortifications on the opposite bank to resist the enemy's reinforcements, and the raft will transport the follow-up personnel across the bank wave after wave.

but now……

Not long after the raft was drawn out, several flares were fired from the opposite side, and the whole river surface was illuminated by magnesium, making it snow-white like a mirror.

Then dense bullets and artillery shells poured in from the darkness opposite, and the Bug River became a mess in an instant. The rain of bullets rolled over the raft like a whirlwind, knocking down the Soviet soldiers on it one by one in a pool of blood. When it entered the river, one of the ships hit by the mortar was directly blown to pieces.

But this is not bad. The Soviet army's offensive area is very wide. Although the German army on the opposite side has more than one platoon, its firepower is still slightly weak. If it can defend one side, it will not be able to stop the other side. Opportunity to attack ashore and break out.

But that hope was quickly dashed...

There were two loud bangs, and two "super shells" roared again.

This time, they were obviously calibrated by the German artillery observers... To put it simply, the German soldiers who knew how to calculate the trajectory were lying on the opposite bank and observing with binoculars. After calculating the position of the first shell explosion, they quickly calculated the distance to the target The distance is then corrected by the artillery via a walkie-talkie.

Therefore, the two shells were shot quite accurately, and one shell exploded only a hundred meters away from the church. The violent shock almost made Shulka vomit blood. Nothing can be heard.

The other shot hit the church accurately. The shell easily penetrated the outer wall and smashed into the foundation of the church, and then exploded with a "boom".

This thing was designed for the Maginot Line. During the initial test firing, a large crater with a diameter of 15 meters and a depth of 5 meters was blown out. Now the explosion inside the church is even more powerful. The glass windows are like bursting open. Like a balloon, it shattered into pieces like a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong."
