It's better to conquer them than to command the steel torrent

Chapter 113 Chapter | Anti-aircraft guns are not disadvantageous
At 4:55 in the middle of the night, 47 minutes from sunrise.

Between several houses in the southwest of the town of Tisarek, a team of Imperial Russian infantry was rushing to the hydroelectric power station in a hurry.

One of the female warrant officers turned her head to look at the house next to her, as if she felt something was strange, but she couldn't tell why.

The forty or fifty enemies left in a hurry, gradually expanding into a battle formation from two columns.

A few minutes later, figures emerged from the shadows and hurried across the street toward the next block.

"That woman even glanced at us, and we almost thought we were exposed." Someone sighed with lingering fear.

"You are questioning my ability!" said a female sergeant unhappily.

After arriving in the next block, dozens of people spread out along a row of houses to provide alert.

This is the first row of the cavalry reconnaissance company led by Shang Moumou.

Soon, two scouts, a man and a woman, came jogging over and reported in a low voice, "Sir, that's the parking lot. We saw about ten armored vehicles and some trucks."

The corporal handed over a crumpled piece of paper with a rough pencil diagram on it - streets, houses, parking lots, enemy sentry positions, and so on.

"Return to the team." Shang Ke thought for a moment and gave orders one by one: "Second Lieutenant Malton, you lead the first and second squads to advance from the front, eliminate the enemies at the maintenance station, and search for usable armored vehicles. The third squad will follow me, and Lillian, you come with me too."

"clear."

"Prepare for battle, action in two minutes, go!"

Although the straight-line distance was less than one kilometer, from a tactical point of view, the platoon led by Shang had already penetrated deep into the hinterland.

There is a three-story building next to the maintenance station, which is the tallest building in the block. It must be occupied as a temporary support point.

After a while, the soldiers who had been acting separately took up their positions.

Shang Ke and a dozen others lined up on both sides of the door of the small building, but there seemed to be no one inside?
At this time, there was a burst of gunfire next door, and Lieutenant Malton led his troops straight to the maintenance station!

At Shang Ke's command, the soldiers climbed over the windows and kicked the doors, and rushed into the small building together.

The first floor is safe! Take the stairs to the second floor...

"Da-da-da-da"

With a double burst followed by a single shot, the female sergeant Dodotia who was at the front had already shot and killed two confused enemies.

The shell casings rolled down the stairs, making a particularly crisp sound.

The Danuvia 39M submachine gun in her hand was a Hunnic design and manufacture, renowned for its immense power. It fired the 9×25mm Mauser round, with a muzzle energy of 840 joules. In comparison, submachine guns like the MP38/40, firing the Parabellum round, typically had a mere 550 joules, paling in comparison and being practically powerless.

"eliminate!"

"on!"

"Three levels of security!"

The soldiers took control of the three-story building quickly and efficiently.

Shang Ke arranged a few people to guard the stairs, and the rest each chose a suitable shooting window.

"This is right in front of the fork in the street corner. Drill holes and set up shooting holes." He pointed to the base of the wall.

The strong corporal took an awl and chiseled it, making a small dent, then stuffed a grenade into it.

Everyone hid far away. After a muffled sound, a small hole was blown out at the base of the wall. After a few simple tinkerings with an engineer shovel, it became a shooting hole.

The light machine gun team is in position, and the muzzle of the light machine gun must be at least 30 centimeters away from the firing port to prevent the muzzle flash from being exposed.

Actual combat is actual combat. As the mainstay of the infantry squad's firepower, the light machine gun naturally couldn't resort to the suicidal act of randomly firing from a window, as seen in movies and TV series. The gunfire from next door gradually died down, presumably indicating that there weren't many enemies left at the repair station.

Shang Ke half-knelt on the floor with his back to the wall, and the young female sergeant major Lillian also stood in front of him in the same posture.

She hesitated for a few seconds and relayed, "Lieutenant Malton said they've taken control of the maintenance station and are interrogating the prisoners."

Since the second-class warriors with telepathic communication abilities can easily tell if a person is lying, interrogating prisoners becomes simple.

As long as you open your mouth, you can get useful information.

For example, if you ask if there is a vehicle available here, and the other party lies and says no, then you can immediately confirm that there is one after you identify it.

Lieutenant Malton and his team helplessly discovered that all the armored vehicles that could be driven here had already participated in the battle, and dozens of armored vehicles and tanks had some problems and needed to be repaired.

But they soon made a new discovery.

"Major Shang, they found a truck carrying an anti-aircraft gun. The truck's engine is broken, but maybe it can be towed by another vehicle," said Lillian.

Oh open?

Anti-aircraft artillery is not necessarily disadvantageous!

Shang Ke had already seen the enemy approaching from the distance on the left street, and immediately said without hesitation: "Tell them to return along the same route they came and destroy that tank. We will cover them."

The Hungarian soldiers found a car and connected it to the truck with a steel cable.

The car's weak power of only a few dozen horsepower was barely enough to tow the truck's anti-aircraft gun in actual combat. The engine roared loudly, and even if it was shifted into first gear and the accelerator was stepped on to the bottom, it could only move slowly.

The nearby soldiers also helped push the cart, which slightly increased its speed.

"Da-da! Da-da! Da-da!"

About a platoon of Imperial Russian infantry came rushing in from the street on the left. They were quickly attacked by short bursts of double fire from a light machine gun. Several of them fell dead on the spot, and the rest hurriedly sought cover and began to return fire.

These days, the penetrating power of full-power rifle bullets is too strong, and ordinary brick walls have difficulty blocking them.

Bullets kept flying through the wall, hitting the wooden furniture and sending fragments flying everywhere.

Lillian's face was scratched by the flying wood chips, leaving several bloody marks. She covered her face and shouted, "Lieutenant Malton suggested that we retreat! Otherwise, we will be surrounded!"

Another grenade flew in and exploded with a loud bang!
Shang Ke immediately ordered a retreat and set a simple booby trap.

He bent down and pulled a grenade from a dead private, tied the pull ring with a piece of rag, and then tied the rag to the rifle strap and put it next to the wardrobe.

The soldiers quickly jumped out of the second-floor window on the other side and chased after Lieutenant Malton and his men who had already gone far away.

It can be said that Shang's actions completely disrupted the battle situation.

You are in me and I am in you.

The commander of Ivan Rus's army here was Lieutenant Colonel Sedov, who was hesitant because he could not determine how many Hungarian troops had infiltrated the town.

Shang Ke and his team were escorting a car towing a 25mm truck-mounted anti-aircraft gun. Just as they were about to severely attack the T-35 from the side and rear, they suddenly encountered two speeding three-wheeled motorcycles.

Is this probably a communications soldier?
The soldiers immediately sought cover and opened fire, quickly killing the Imperial Russian signalmen who had fallen into the trap.

But at this moment, suddenly, without any warning, a crisp gunshot rang out!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Shang Ke lay down subconsciously, and the helmet on his head was blown off by the bullet in an instant!
Before he could react, warm blood splattered on his face, and Lillian collapsed helplessly.
