Rebirth of the National Marshal

The riot in the rear artillery regiment soon spread to the front line. If one person spreads it, ten people will spread it to a hundred people. Such rumors are the most terrible. If they understand the situation, it is estimated that there will not be a large-scale chaos. It depends on the situation. If they don't understand, everyone is very worried. What happened in the back? Most soldiers are afraid that the back has been occupied by the soldiers of the security regiment, so they have no way to retreat. In this way, they are already surrounded. If such a thing really happens, will they be captured before the battle begins?

"Fuck, why is there such a strange thing today? How could someone else do it on their own? Are you sure our army didn't attack? I heard that the gunshots don't sound like ordinary battles. This should be a very fierce battle." Li Dongsheng has been following the first echelon on the tank. Now they can hear the riot-like gunshots over there. This is a bit strange. We should be the troops in the front row. No one is ahead of us, but what is going on over there? Even if it is an air force attack, there shouldn't be so many rifles firing. The height of the rifles is limited. How can they hit the plane!

"Don't worry about what happens over there. It should be beneficial to us anyway. I guess their internal opinions are not quite right. I guess there is a problem between their ordinary soldiers and the supervision team. Such things are very normal in the Soviet army." The tank company commander said in a low voice, and then immediately used his communication equipment to give orders to the soldiers below, requiring all units to advance at full speed. Such opportunities do not come often. At the same time, he asked the Air Force to go over and investigate what was going on.

Originally, at this distance, the infantry should have hidden first, and then the tanks should have advanced at full speed, because the enemy's heavy artillery units might attack us at this time. Unexpectedly, we rushed all the way to the front of the enemy's position, and nothing happened yet. The enemy's position had at most 37mm anti-tank guns. If such things could cause any harm to the Sherman tanks, the tank company commander would probably twist his neck off and give them to him.

The Sherman tank is very fast and can reach a speed of nearly 50 kilometers per hour in such an area. Although it is carrying so many infantry, these infantry are nothing compared to the powerful braking force of the tank. What needs to be reminded is to let these infantry hold on tightly to prevent the tank from throwing you off at such a fast speed. This is possible.

There was also a hail of bullets on the front line, and the enemy's machine guns and rifles caused a lot of trouble for the infantry on the tanks. But even so, their charge should not be a problem.

The Soviet soldiers were really scared when they saw these tanks at this time. All the 37mm anti-tank guns on their positions had been dragged out. In the Soviet army, this was the most effective weapon against tanks, but when this thing hit these tanks, it was like tickling them and had no effect at all.

Moreover, their armor-piercing shells are already very outdated. The latest armor-piercing shells would still be somewhat useful, but unfortunately, some of these things are older than them, and they are directly useless after they are fired. These are all products from the Russian Empire period, and they are not shells for dealing with tanks at all. But now, as the number of shells is relatively scarce, having one is always better than having nothing, so they pulled them all out. Unexpectedly, they would have such a bad effect on the battlefield.

In addition to an 88mm cannon, the Sherman tank also has three machine guns on the entire vehicle. Except for the outermost one which requires someone to stand outside to operate it, all the others are operated from inside the tank. These machine guns can quickly fire a large number of bullets, which is extremely powerful for killing infantry on the positions. Thousands of soldiers on the front line of defense were basically torn to pieces by these machine guns. There is no way around it. You are standing outside, you don’t have any protective equipment. Even if the trenches have been dug, they are not too deep due to the rush of time. Even if you shrink into the trenches, people will directly fire shells at you. If you stand up, how can the single-shot rifle in your hand fight against several machine guns on a tank!

As for things like grenades, they are even more useless. The enemy's tanks did not continue to charge, but stopped about fifty meters in front of the trench. Even if you can throw your grenades over, they are only twenty to thirty meters away, and they can't cause any harm to them. If you throw a grenade, you may even die.

At the beginning, many people threw grenades, but later they found that anyone who stuck his head out would be killed by the enemy's machine gun. The large-caliber bullets could penetrate some protective equipment on the front position and kill them directly.

The company commander of the front-line infantry had already thrown the communication device in his hand. When this thing was first issued, he thought that there would be something that could be used to contact the higher-ups during wartime. Unexpectedly, the war had just begun and this thing was like a stone, completely useless. The other side couldn't hear what he was saying, and he didn't know if there was any talk on the other side. It was simply garbage. He had originally thought of asking the air force behind to come for support, or the armored forces to come over.

If infantry confronts an armored unit, it is simply seeking death, because this is an asymmetric war. The other side can hit you, but you cannot hit them. In such a confrontation, in the end, other than your own annihilation, what other result can there be?

After about five minutes, the infantrymen on the frontline had collapsed. Their casualties had exceeded half, and the tanks over there had begun to move forward slowly. Unlike the rapid charge just now, they were now walking very carefully, because there were many people in the Soviet army who would tie up several grenades and throw them under the tanks. This had happened in the last battle and had caused considerable damage to the tank troops. So it was better to be careful this time. As long as they saw any threat, they would kill them without hesitation.
