Chapter 686 error


    The Soviet army made a mistake. They caused a two-hour difference in attack time due tomand problems.


    An elite unit of the German army arrived in the direction of Prodovitoye in time during the two-hour gap, and even Paulus urgently mobilized an aviation regiment to go for reinforcements.


    Although the weather at this time is not suitable for the ne to take off forbat, the German pilots took the risk to take off and prepare for battle.


    Compared to the experienced and skilled pilots of the German army, the vast majority of Soviet pilots dare not take off in this weather.


    Of course Shulka didn''t know this at this time, he was still waiting for the development of the battle amidst the "rumbling" gunfire.


    Finally, the cannons stopped.


    Shuerka couldn’t hear anything because of the “buzzing” sound in his ears, his hands and feet were numb, and his whole body’s skeleton was about to fall apart, as if he just got off after sitting on an old-fashioned tractor without shock absorbers for more than ten hours.


    Then there were a few more res, and there was a burst of shouts and motor sounds ahead.


    Needless to say, the naval infantry on the front line began to cross the river.


    Shulka raised his binocrs and poked his head out to look out. It was gray outside, and it was hard to tell whether it was fog or gunpowder smoke. Only asionally a few shells exploded and a bright me burst out to prate it for Shulka to see. A battalion of naval infantry charging.


    As nned, the Naval Infantry Battalion attacked aboard amphibiousnding craft.


    Amphibiousnding craft can be said to be an artifact on this terrain.


    Because in terms of weight, it is less than half of the car... Soviet car models are very monotonous, mainly Gas and Guise, and these cars are basically universal, pulling people, pulling guns, transporting, and even refitting" Katyusha rocketunchers use them.


    This makes the Soviet army rarely suitable for light vehicles traveling in mud, even though quite a few areas of the Soviet Union will fall into mud or even swamps in summer.


    The amphibiousnding vehicle can be regarded as a light vehicle. Its tires and engine are directly taken from the car engine and tires, and then some weight such as the cab is saved. The heavy machine gun was changed to a turntable machine gun...


    Compared with the crane machine gun, the turntable machine gun has the advantage of light weight, and its firepower is not much weaker than that of the heavy machine gun. More importantly, it can be quickly removed from the amphibiousnding ship and put into battle, so it is very popr among Soviet soldiers.


    This allowed the amphibiousnding ship to smoothly carry the naval infantry towards the Don River at high speed.


    When Shulka rushed up, he realized that it was not just because of the lightness of the amphibiousnding ship. The naval infantry battalion had made some preparations before the charge. They sprinkled gravel, sand, etc. on the road to be charged to strengthen its friction.


    I have to say that the soldiers of the Navy Infantry Battalion deserve to be a unit with faster education and better quality. They know what to do before the battle.


    Because of low visibility, Shulka did not see theunch of the amphibiousnding ship. He only saw jets of water rising from the river to the sky, and gunshots were heard endlessly.


    Obviously, the Romanian army was also prepared, and they marked their artillery elements on the Don River.


    So, even if they can''t see the enemy at this moment, they can still use artillery fire to stop and kill the Soviet army.


    It can be felt that the battle was fierce, because the winner has not been decided in the past 20 minutes... This has proved that the estimates of Trufanov and others were wrong, and the Romanian army is not as miserable as they thought One hit, at least not for the Soviet Army in this environment.


    Even among them, Shulka heard that the naval infantry battalion was repelled once.


    Information obtained from Andrian Kana.


    "We may have to wait longer!" Andrianka said: "The intelligence just received from the superior, the naval infantry battalion is organizing another attack!"


    "What''s the matter?" Shulka asked.


    "It is said to be a problem with the terrain on the opposite bank!" Andrianka replied: "The opposite bank was bombarded with too many craters, even on the river bank. Many amphibiousnding ships could notnd normally!"


    So Shulka understands.


    If the river bank is naturally formed, there will usually be a gentle transition, which is suitable for amphibiousnding craft from water tond.


    The problem is that the Soviet artillery preparation is a non-target carpet bombing, so the river bank, that is, near the waterline, will be bombed out of craters.


    These craters are lethal to amphibiousnding craft.


    First of all, the crater is underwater, and it is impossible to find the crater below from the surface.


    The second is that the amphibiousnding ship has not fullynded at this time, that is, half of it is still buoyant in the water, so the whole ship is in a semi-suspension state.


    At this time, the wheels slipped easily due to insufficient pressure when sinking into the pit, so the amphibiousnding craft could not move.


    Fortunately, this situation is not unsolvable, because the amphibiousnding ship has sessfully reached the other side of the river and ran aground, so the soldiers of the Naval Infantry Battalion immediately jumped into the river and waded to attack.


    Every time we attack, it is because of this unexpected situation that we lose.


    The soldiers who attacked the Naval Infantry Battalion for the second time were prepared. They installed several sandbags on the amphibiousnding ship... These sandbags can increase the weight of the amphibiousnding ship and increase the friction of the wheels on the one hand. On the other hand, these sandbags can also be used to fill the crater.


    So the second charge went very smoothly. Amphibiousnding ships rushed up to the river bank and then carried soldiers like wolves and tigers directly into the depths of the Romanian soldiers'' defense line and wrestled with them.


    Once the battle has reached this point, the overall situation is settled.


    Amphibiousnding ships rushing into the depth of the enemy''s defense line means bringing internal pressure to the enemy, so their firepower blockade of the river surface will decrease in series.


    So, it won''t be long before more and more Soviet troops willnd, and more and more amphibiousnding ships will break into the depth of the defense line, and the river bank defense lineposed of Romanian soldiers will soon copse.


    This waspletely out of the ident of themander of the Romanian Fourth Army Dumillerescu. He thought that the Romanian river bank defense line couldst at least a few hours and wait for the German reinforcements to unload their equipment and rush to the river bank.


    Unexpectedly, before the German reinforcements had finished unloading their equipment, there would be an emergency telegram saying that the river bank had fallen.


    "It''s only half an hour before and after!" Dumillescu couldn''t help being furious: "You have bunkers, barbed wire, the Don River defense line, and even artillery coordination, but you only guarded for half an hour?!"


    "General!" The front-linemander reported in shock: "The enemy has amphibiousnding ships, a lot of amphibiousnding ships! The Don River defense line is almost non-existent in front of them, because they can directly rush into our defense line from the other side of the river!"
