USSR 1941

Even if Major Müller was thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why the Soviet army suddenly appeared behind him. They seemed to have drilled out of the ground, while so many tanks and infantry of the German army just passed by that area, but they didn't find anything.

In fact, Major Muller was right. These Soviet troops came out of the ground.

The taboo of bunker warfare is to only defend the internal one-acre three-point area. If you do this, it is easy for the enemy to find loopholes and attack them one by one... As we all know, there is no defense line that cannot be broken, and even the tightest defense has loopholes.

Loopholes will cause the situation that the strength of the enemy and the enemy cannot be used symmetrically: the bunkers will not move, so when a bunker is besieged, other bunkers can only stare blankly except to provide fire support. If the firepower of these bunkers is suppressed, they will even Not even fire support.

As a result, the bunker will be divided into small pieces, and the small pieces will be slowly eaten by the enemy.

If it is a tighter line of defense, it is fine, such as the Maginot Line in France, where the various bunkers are connected internally and can support each other in firepower, so such fortifications are difficult to break through.

The problem is that the line of defense Shulka guarded was the "Stalin Line of Defense" that the Soviet Army originally planned to abandon. The communication equipment was outdated, the firepower of the bunkers was improperly configured, and there were few connections with each other, etc...

In this case, if you are still defending in the bunker, you will undoubtedly be very passive and can only wait for the German engineers to find a place to blast or insert explosives through the perforation.

Therefore, Shulka believes that the combat should be mobile, that is, there are offensive and defensive grounds and bunkers that cooperate with each other.

In addition to building a fortification outside the bunker on the ground, Shulka believes that the wooden houses scattered around are a place that can be used.

"I found that most of these cabins have basements," Shulka told Major Gavrilov.

"Yes!" Major Gavrilov nodded: "They are used to storing food and crops in the basement!"

"We can put some troops there!" Shulka said.

"No, it won't do much, Shulka!" said Major Gavrilov. "The German guns would blow the cabin to pieces, the tanks would turn it into a pile of rotten logs, and they couldn't even get out of the basement." come out!"

"They will be trapped to death in the basement!" Commissar Fumin agreed.

"Then let them open another exit first!" Shulka said. "It's not difficult, is it?"

Major Gavrilov raised his head in a daze, glanced at Commissar Fumin, and then both of them laughed.

"Shulka, you always think of ways that no one else can think of!" Major Gavrilov said.

"This is a good idea!" Commissar Fuming said, "The Germans always thought they had blown up the wooden house, and never thought that there were people hiding under the wooden house!"

This is not an innovation for Shulka, because there is too much information about tunnel warfare and tunnel warfare in his mind. In addition, Yue Guizi also often use this method to form side firepower and reverse firepower against our army.

At the same time, it is not difficult, because the basement itself is a good hiding place, and it only takes more than an hour of civil work to open another exit, and then build a cover for this exit and lay a layer of soil on it to camouflage , so a tunnel is completed.

There are more than a dozen wooden houses outside the bunker, and there are more than a hundred soldiers hiding ten soldiers in each basement. Several telephone lines in different directions lead to Major Gavrilov's headquarters for command.

Then, when the smoke bombs hit the ground, Major Gavrilov ordered on the phone: "Attack!"

The commander of this unit was Captain Ulyan, the commander of the third battalion. He picked up another phone and gave orders... This phone is used to contact various tunnels.

The Soviet soldiers in the tunnels immediately came out of the tunnels.

It was not difficult for them to find the position of the Germans, because even in the smoke, the tall tanks were still very obvious,

The German infantry must have been hiding behind the tanks, so machine guns and rifles fired at the back of the tanks, and the Soviet army's shovel-type mortars... Although this mortar is not as good as the German army's mortars on the frontal battlefield. The mortar, however, played a big role at this time. A round of 37MM shells was fired, only to make the German army scream.

"Retreat!" Major Muller hurriedly ordered: "Get out of this ghost place!"

But it seemed too late to retreat at this time, and the frontal Soviet soldiers launched a countercharge towards the German army with a shout...

Shulka does not approve of this.

Because Shulka believed that the counter charge at this time would cause accidental injury... The Soviet army launched a two-sided attack on the German army in the smoke, so no one knew whether the opponent was the enemy or his own.

But Gavrilov thinks this is not a problem.

"Think about those tanks, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov said. "If we let them go back like this, they will use them to attack again next time, the same tanks... and we are now But there is a chance to blow them up!"

"So how to solve the accidental injury?" Shulka asked.

"Necessary casualties are acceptable!" Commissar Fuming said, "This is war!"

This may be correct, and this is also the style of the Soviet army... If casualties can be exchanged for enemy losses, they will not hesitate to make such a choice, but Shulka is not used to it.

However, the situation on the battlefield was much better than expected. The Soviet army finally repelled the German attack at the cost of 35 casualties.

This proves that the fratricide between the Soviet troops was not large.

Afterwards, Shulka believes that this is very likely because the Soviet army has long been accustomed to fighting in chaos, so their performance in melee is much better than that of the German army... The German army is strictly based on formation, position, and even machine gun positions. It is important to know how to disperse the riflemen and riflemen, but the more this is the case, the more they will be completely at a loss once they fall into chaos.

In this battle, Shulka did not rush out, and he and the actor were responsible for staying in the bunker.

Every bunker must be guarded, otherwise it may be occupied by the roving German troops and cause big trouble.

Shulka observed the battlefield through the periscope, and the German army was in a mess in the smoke, especially the tanks, which collided with each other, crushed their own soldiers, and shot randomly with machine guns... It was like a serious traffic accident. But it was not the car that had the accident but the tank.

Then, the situation continued to deteriorate. Soviet soldiers threw anti-tank grenades and explosive packs close to the tanks, and only heard bursts of "booming" explosions, and those tanks lay paralyzed on the ground and did not move.

Occasionally, a few Molotov cocktails were thrown out, so several raging fires ignited again, and there were endless screams of misery.
