Chapter 425 Landing Ship


    "Da da da..." The violent machine gun sounded.


    What is surprising is that it was not the German army that fired first but the Soviet army, the Soviet army on the amphibiousnding ship.


    In fact, they didn''t see the target at all, and they didn''t even know where the German defense line was.


    Shulka told them during pre-war training: "Don''t save ammunition, especially heavy machine gun ammunition, because it is basically useless after the amphibiousnding vehiclends, and the saved ammunition can only be thrown on the beach to feed the fish !"


    The soldiersughed.


    They did not notice this before, but now they are reminded by Shulka, thinking about it, it is indeed the case... When the amphibiousnding ship is driving on the sea, the machine gun on the bow may be able to maintain bnce and barely aim at the target.


    The use of "barely" here is because the bow of the amphibiousnding ship will shake violently when driving, so the machine gun bullets actually fly around without much uracy.


    This situation will get worse when the amphibiousnding ship rushes ashore, because the amphibiousnding vehicle can''t control the direction, so it can''t even guarantee that the gun is facing the enemy.


    "So!" Shulka said: "This machine gun is only for suppressing firepower. You should shoot out its bullets beforending!"


    Soldiers of the Naval Infantry Brigade did just that, and they started shooting at the beach from a kilometer away, even though it was pitch ck and nothing could be seen.


    The dense bullets "swish" over the heads of the German soldiers. At that moment, it can be said that the German soldiers were almost frightened... This is also due to the psychological shock caused by the previous naval bombardment.


    So the Germans retracted their heads into the trenches one after another, not daring to probe.


    Major Webb knew what was going on, and he ordered loudly: "Raise your weapons, bastard, they are just bluffing!"


    After the German soldiers got ready, Major Weber shouted: "Listen to my order and fire!"


    In an instant, shells and bullets poured towards the Russiannding ship on the sea.


    The bullets made a series of sprays on the sea surface, and made a series of crisp sounds after hitting the hull, but because the bow was equipped with shields and additional armor, they failed to cause much damage to them.


    This even gave the Soviet machine gunners a target, because the muzzle spark was clearly visible in the dark, so they immediately adjusted to fire back with bullets.


    The explosion of a mortar shell on the sea set off a column of water, but because the amphibiousnding ship is fast and low, it is difficult for the shells to hit them.


    asionally, one or two shells directly hit the amphibiousnding ship, and a burst of mes would erupt, and more than a dozen soldiers in the ship would immediately be thrown into the air and then fall back into the water... There is almost no possibility of them surviving in this temperature.


    However, most of the amphibiousnding ships escaped the artillery fire. After all, the defending German army only had one reinforced battalion. They were only assigned to a mortarpany and the few coastal defense guns left after being bombed by the Soviet Air Force. These firepower were not enough to stop them. Soviet troopsnded.


    Major Webb certainly didn''t hope to destroy the opponent at sea.


    In fact, for the offensive side, the most dangerous part of the beachnding battle is the moment of transition from the sea to the shore, especially in the Soviet winter.


    Major Weber knew this, so he held up the binocrs and quietly observed the enemies charging under the res, waiting for this moment.


    Major Webb believes that he can stop these enemies, at least this wave of attacks can be blocked.


    Because he knows the beach in front of him, there is at least a hundred meters of shoal from the sea to the coast, and the depth of this shoal is only more than one meter...It actually gradually gets deeper from the coast to the deep sea.


    Major Webb believes that this section of the shoal will be the most difficult obstacle for the Russian army to cross, because the ship will soon run aground, and the Russian soldiers will have to jump into the icy water and charge to the shore by stepping on the sea water that does not reach their thighs.


    This is not only a problem of low temperature and cold, but also a problem of slow movement when wading forward.


    So, the German army could take advantage of this time to shoot at them. With the firepower and marksmanship of the German army, Major Weber believed that the soldiers charging by the Russian army would be killed before they were frozen to death.


    Even if some of them can wash up on the beach, what awaits them isnd mines and barbed wire.


    But soon Major Weber discovered that the facts were not as he imagined.


    Because the speed of the enemynding craft has not slowed down at all, not only has it not slowed down, but it has elerated and rushed forward.


    Then something even more unexpected happened to Major Weber. He found that severalnding craft that had entered the shoal and were supposed to run aground were still advancing under the light of res.


    "What''s going on?" Major Webb put away his binocrs and looked at all this in disbelief.


    At first, he thought it was just an idental phenomenon. It might be that there was a special ce with deep water so that thending craft could continue to move forward, but thending craft that kept entering the shoal and all of them were moving forward quickly made him realize that this was not the case.


    Then, thending craft got closer and closer under the astonished gazes of Major Webb and the German army... The shoal seemed to them as if it didn''t exist.


    Then, the German army knew what was going on, because at this time several amphibiousnding ships had "jumped" out of the water, and the wheels under the hulls were clearly visible under the light of the res.


    "God!" Major Webb couldn''t help eximing: "Wheels, they actually installed wheels for thending craft!"


    The next second, Major Webb ordered: "Block them, don''t let theme up!"


    But it''s toote...


    The deployment of the German army on the beach could not effectively stop the Soviet army''s charge.


    If, as Weber imagined, Soviet soldiers had to wade through water to attack, then mines and barbed wire would of course y a very good role.


    Now the Soviet army is driving an amphibiousnding vehicle directly ashore, and it is still rushing ashore quite quickly.


    Although there are a lot of car rollover tragedies... there are many reasons for the car rollover, such as running over a mine, getting caught by barbed wire, or driving into a bomb crater and losing bnce, etc.


    But even so, a considerable number of Soviet soldiers were quickly transported ashore.


    At this time, they were only more than two hundred meters away from the German army... There is nothing to say, of course theyunched a charge.


    Thebat quality of the naval infantry brigade is indeed notparable to that of the Soviet Army. Instead of blindly charging towards the enemy''s position, they use grenades to open the way, use mortars and machine guns to suppress the enemy''s firepower, and there are even snipers lying in the dark to aim enemy.


    Among them is the SVT semi-automatic riflemonly used by the naval infantry brigade. It made the Soviet army much more powerful than ordinary troops. Coupled with the superiority of the Soviet army in strength, it easily suppressed the German army.


    Then, charging became easy.
