Chapter 5 How to live in the midst of war
Li Mo is completely different from leading troops. He is like his soldiers, and everyone is more casual. This makes Li Mo more easily accepted by his soldiers. Of course, they are also very willing to obey Li Mo's command. The rigor and obedience of German soldiers are world-famous, and violations of discipline on the battlefield are extremely rare. This is also the reason why Li Mo is not afraid of getting along with his soldiers.
Li Mo took the P35 submachine gun and rushed out of the anti-cannon hole first. He found a random spot next to the trenches and squatted down. The trenches that were previously very complete were already bombarded by government cannons beyond recognition. There were holes of different sizes everywhere, and the soil at the edge of the trenches collapsed very seriously.
The soldiers under Li Mo also quickly ran to his combat post. Li Mo's squad had very good firepower, equipped with two P35 submachine guns, one MG34 general-purpose machine gun, and the others were Mauser rifles.
As soon as Li Mo and the others arrived, the "rumbling" engine roar sounded, and more than 100 tanks of No. 1 and No. 2 appeared in their field of view. In fact, Li Mo's ideal was to command the tank.
These light tanks were very fast and rushed out of the gaps between the trenches within a few minutes. Li Mo thought that the charge should have sounded at this time, but his platoon leader Larry also lay on the trenches like him, watching the tank regiment's assault excitedly.
In Li Mo's impression, Germany's tactics were very advanced, and the coordination of the intra-tank was even more compulsory for them, but now it was a tank charge alone, without the protection of infantry at all. Li Mo thought about it carefully and felt relieved. At this time, it was a prelude to the outbreak of World War II, and Germany had no experience in tank combat at all. It was just that Guderian had imagined some new tactics for tanks. Germany participated in the Spanish Civil War to summarize practical experience. It was not surprising that tanks were attacking alone. But Germany at least knew to use tanks in a concentrated manner, and at this time Britain and France only used tanks as weapons to support infantry.
The government army's defense line was about one thousand meters away from Li Mo and his trench. This distance was not a distance for light tanks. A few minutes later, the tank regiment of the Condor Legion arrived at the forefront of the government army. The sporadic artillery of the government army could not stop the tank from advancing.
Li Mo took his private telescope and carefully observed the battle situation of his own tanks. When his own tanks reached five hundred meters away from the government defense line, several flames suddenly flashed on the government's position. The five tanks rushing in the front were fireballed, and one tank exploded even after a death.
The Krupp Company of Li Mo's family started with the production of artillery. Li Mo immediately determined that the enemy was using a 37mm anti-tank gun from the firelight flashed on the enemy's positions and the sound of artillery bombardment.
German tanks No. 1 and No. 2 tanks are tanks within ten tons, and their front armor is only 30 mm at most, and they cannot stop the 37 mm anti-tank gun at all.
The remaining German tanks did not stop charging, but instead rushed forward while firing artillery and counterattacking. The Spanish government forces did not have much anti-tank experience, and there were no anti-tank trenches in front of their positions.
Of course, the hit rate of the marching tanks will not be high. For more than 120 tanks, only more than 20 tanks in the front row can shoot. These more than 20 tanks can fire at a volley of one enemy anti-tank gun.
The enemy's anti-tank gun fires very fast, just one shot in twenty seconds, and basically two or three shells will kill a tank. The light tanks of the Condor Legion were ignited one by one like a bonfire, which made Li Mo tremble.
Li Mo's military rank is too low now and cannot point fingers at the battlefield. The improvement of German blitzkrieg theory was achieved through blood and life.
The bravery of the German soldiers was beyond doubt. In just two or three minutes of shooting, Germany lost more than 20 tanks, but they did not retreat, but continued to assault bravely. When these tanks approached a hundred meters in front of the enemy's trench, the enemy's light and heavy machine guns and rifles opened fire on the German tanks together, causing the tanks to splash, and these bullets could only leave a little trace on the tanks.
The power of the concentrated use of German tanks was still revealed. Several enemy anti-tank guns were destroyed one after another. Just as the German tank rushed to the front of the enemy's position, dozens of enemies suddenly rushed out of the trench with explosive bags.
These were the enemy's suicide squad personnel. Of course, they came to blow up the tanks. The German tanks quickly shot wildly. At least half of the enemy's suicide squads were killed on the spot. The undead enemies cleverly used the terrain to touch the next to the German tanks and threw out the explosive pack in their hands.
"Boom...boom..."
The violent explosions came continuously, and German tanks were blown up one by one. The German tankers were stunned and quickly reversed quickly because the second batch of enemy suicide squads began to rush out of the trenches again. This was the fate of the tanks and infantry disconnection.
"Doudu...Doududu..."
The loud charge finally sounded, and countless German soldiers jumped out of the trenches and started charging. Li Mo also rushed out of the trenches like ordinary soldiers, and rushed forward with his waist. Li Mo shouted loudly while rushing:
"Brothers, follow me, don't run around, Blue Light, don't run upright, hurry..."
"Kill... Kill..."
There were tanks in front of him fighting against the enemy, and Li Mo and the others were not attacked by the enemy, but the occasionally stray bullets would instantly kill people.
Suddenly, a "Oh" whistle came from the sky, "Bombardment! Lying down!!!" The sound was so familiar to Li Mo. It was the sound of a large-scale artillery. It seemed that the enemy planned to cover and shoot the German infantry.
As soon as Li Mo finished shouting, he rushed into a bullet crater not far away. The "boom" explosion sounded continuously, lifting countless soil into the air and spilling down one after another, mixed with broken limbs and broken arms.
Fortunately, the landing points of the first few shells were far away from Li Mo and the others. Because Li Mo shouted in time, he followed his eleven subordinates and climbed into the crater where Li Mo was hiding. As long as the crater where Li Mo and the others were hiding did not fall a shell, their lives would be saved.
"Boom boom boom boom... you are so amazing, squad leader."
After the enemy's artillery fire became violent after being positioned, Li Mo's ears were filled with continuous explosions, and the violent vibration from the ground violently impacted the human internal organs, making people extremely uncomfortable. The twelve people who were nestled in the crater did not dare to raise their heads, and all covered their heads with their hands and lay on the ground.
The German staff quickly solved the enemy's ballistics. The high quality of the German staff quickly allowed Germany's large-caliber artillery to start counterattacking the enemy's gun group. Germany's artillery technology was the most advanced country in the world at that time. No country's artillery can match it, regardless of range or accuracy.
The sky was instantly reflected red, countless orange shells cut through the sky, and the "scared" sound that reached the ground. As soon as the German cannons were powerful, the enemy's artillery fire quickly weakened.
“Dududu…”
As soon as the enemy's shells were loose, the loud charge sounded again. As soon as the charge sounded, even if it was a sea of fire, it would have to rush forward. The German military discipline was so. The battlefield that was still dead just now, countless soldiers were arched out of the soil. The shouters rushed forward desperately. Li Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "What an excellent soldier!! It would be worth a journey through his own journey if he could fight side by side with such a soldier."
"Brothers, follow me."
As long as there is no threat from enemy cannons, the infantry will be relaxed. Some German tanks have already rushed into the enemy's positions, while others are still dealing with the suicide squad outside the trenches. Li Mo led a squad to rush up with the crowd. But Li Mo chose a tank named 222 to follow. The tanks were not fast at this time, because the infantry came up and they needed to support the infantry.
Li Mo's view is different. His combat idea is to support the tanks in infantry. Li Mo and his men ran with the 222 tanks, which was quite safe. The bullets hit the tanks and made a "ding-knocking" sound, but they did not hurt a single hair.
When Li Mo followed the 222 tank to the enemy's trench, several enemies holding explosives suddenly popped up and jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the 222 tank. The coaxial machine gun on the 222 tank sounded instantly:
"Dada...ahhh..."
However, two enemies rolled around with explosive bags and avoided the tank's shooting, and then crawled quickly towards the 222 tank. Because the ground was uneven on the terrain and the dead corners of the tank's shooting, the machine guns on the 222 tank could not hit these two cunning enemies at all.
If the tank cannot be shot, it does not mean that the followers cannot be shot. Li Mo and his subordinates are divided into two groups on the left and right, and they will attack the two enemy suicide squads with a burst of guns, directly knocking the two enemies into sieves.
The commander of the 222 tank, Otto, was scared and sweated coldly just now. The No. 2 tank he drove was only more than 7 tons, which could withstand the bombardment of an explosive pack. Fortunately, the infantry squad who followed him helped solve the crisis. After the battle was over, I would like to thank the squad leader of the infantry squad.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The 222 tank roared and climbed over the trenches. Li Mo always followed closely behind the 222 tank. The 222 tank seemed to understand what Li Mo meant and never increased its speed to a speed that Li Mo and the others could not keep up.
The 222 tank advanced all the way, helping Li Mo and the others block the bullet attack, and Li Mo and the others also helped the 222 tanks eliminate the enemies who were hiding and preparing to blow up it. Both sides rely on each other and beat the enemies that were about to collapse.
"Vincent, prepare for grenades, I'll cover you."
"Squad leader, I will cover you and detour from the side."
"Tian Tian, be careful."
"Blue light, come on, take a photo for me and help me take it more handsomely."
Li Mo followed the No. 222 tank to charge all the way. When the 222 tank climbed over the last trench, there was a huge plain in front of it. Li Mo and the others had already drilled through the enemy's defense line. Li Mo hurriedly looked back with a telescope. Other tanks and infantry were still fighting with the remaining soldiers in the position.
There are two ways in front of it now. One is to continue rushing forward, and the other is to turn around and kill back. Li Mo planned to choose the former, but Li Mo must communicate with the captain of the 222 tank. At this time, the top cover of the 222 tank was also lifted, revealing a guy with a tank hat on the head. This guy greeted Li Mo:
"Hi! Infantry brothers..."
