Chapter 37: Step-tank Collaboration (Part 2)
Soon Li Mo and the others approached the first row of buildings in Santander. Most of these buildings were built with reinforced concrete, and a small number of ancient buildings were built with stone. No matter which kind of buildings, they were relatively strong. The German bombardment just now was relatively fierce, but the effect was not great, and they only exploded holes of large and small sizes.
Many buildings on both sides of Edward Street were filled with thick smoke. Li Mo and his cat slowly advanced to the bottom of these buildings behind the tanks, and no enemy was shooting at them. At this time, Li Mo, regardless of whether the enemy had any conspiracy, rushed out from behind the tanks, and then covered each other with the houses rushing into the edge of the city.
The German combat team was basically divided into three groups, each with four people. The tasks of these three groups were different. The first group was responsible for assault, the second group was ready to support at any time, and the third group was alert. Li Mo led his men to the two buildings outside. After careful search, he determined that there was no enemy here. It seemed that the government army planned to strangle the rebels in the city, and they did not want to place their limited troops on the edge of the city.
After a brief rest, Li Mo notified Otto with radio and continued to advance along Edward Street to the downtown of Santander. This radio was specially applied for by Li Mo to Speer. If the tank was not equipped with radio, it would be very likely to be out of touch with the infantry's attack. Germany was not short of this radio, so General Speer readily allocated twenty radios to Li Mo. Now the communication between Li Mo and Otto is much more convenient.
"Captain Otto, keep a speed of five kilometers per hour and continue along Edward Street. Pay attention to the anti-tank guns on the street in front. You will give us your side and our front."
"I understand, Mr. Commander... all vehicles should pay attention to the enemy anti-tank guns on the streets ahead. If you don't let them go to hell, put your eyes on them."
Because the two of them have the same military ranks, everyone is more polite. Although Li Mo temporarily commands Otto's tank company, he is not domineering. Besides, the two have fought together several times, and their relationship has always been relatively harmonious and they trust each other very much.
"Puff...Puff...Don't stick your head out of the tank... Pay attention to the houses on both sides of the street..."
The three leading tanks were slowly advancing at a walking speed. Li Mo and the others kept sending people to the buildings on both sides of the street to search. Li Mo could not do this, because Li Mo only had a company of troops and would never dare to divide his troops to occupy countless houses on both sides of the street. Behind Li Mo and the others was the main force of the regiment, and the occupation mission could only fall on them.
Li Mo and his team followed the tank for more than 100 meters. Suddenly, a government army emerged from the window on the third floor of a building about 30 meters ahead. The government army put the light machine gun in their hand on the window, and then fired violently at the tank below. The bullets hit the tank's armor and made a "clang" sound. The government soldier and machine gunner should have used Czech light machine guns. In just a few seconds, they shot all their bullets and then disappeared from the window. The sudden attack made Li Mo suddenly nervous for a while.
Because Li Mo has been asking his soldiers not to stick their heads out of the tank, no soldiers were injured. The leading tank reacted very quickly. He quickly turned the gun and shot it at the window. With a "boom", the 30-mm tank gun hit the windowsill. The violent explosion immediately blew the bricks and stones around the windowsill, and the wooden window doors on the windowsill were torn into pieces. The government troops that had just disappeared were not blown out by the tank guns, and it seemed that they had run away.
The stopped shooting tank had not started yet. Several government soldiers suddenly appeared on the building on the right. They took the weapons in their hands and then disappeared after a few shots. Several grenades were even thrown out of the window and fell on the tank. Fortunately, these grenades were not thrown behind the tank, but hit the front end of the tank. After the "boom" explosion, they rang continuously. The smoke from the grenade explosion made people want to cough. The leading tank on the right quickly turned its gun to shoot at the window on the right. The coaxial machine gun on the tank also spewed out flames quickly.
"Dada...boom..."
Li Mo and the others were no longer safe behind the tank, because the enemy threw explosive bags and grenades from the buildings on both sides of the street, which could cause heavy casualties for Li Mo and the others. Li Mo instantly determined the new tactics in his heart and shouted loudly to the back:
"The first row attacks the building on the left, the second row attacks the building on the right, and the third row follows behind the second group of tanks."
After giving the order, Li Mo took his infantry squad to the left quickly and rushed to the building on the left. The other soldiers followed his platoon leader to charge to the designated position. Because of the firepower of tank guns and coaxial machine guns, the enemies in the buildings on both sides of the street could only occasionally come out and put down their cold guns, but no one was killed.
Li Mo led him to the door of a building. The door was locked. Li Mo quickly pulled out a wooden grenade from his waist, pulled off the fuse and stuffed it under the door frame, and then quickly dodged.
"Boom" The wooden door was blown by grenades, and there were houses on both sides of the street, and there were basically no iron doors. This is Spain, not a later Chinese country. Every household installed security doors and anti-theft windows, which were basically impossible to see here. Li Mo, who exploded the door, did not ask the soldiers to charge immediately, but another grenade was thrown in, "Boom...ah!!!". The explosion of the grenade was mixed with a scream. It seemed that an enemy was hidden in the room, and the grenade was now reimbursed by the grenade thrown by Li Mo.
Li Mo gestured to the soldiers under his command. After the others nodded to show their understanding, Li Mo suddenly flashed and rushed into the room. There were soldiers on their left and right, and their muzzles were facing different directions in the room. As long as there was movement in that direction, the P35 submachine gun in their hands would be fired.
After Li Mo rushed in, he found a half-dead enemy in the corner and was struggling on the ground. Not far away, there was a small bullet crater. It was caused by the explosion of the grenade thrown by Li Mo. As soon as Li Mo rushed into the room, he flew bullets at the enemy who was still struggling on the ground. The enemy on the ground stood up for two thrusts and stopped moving. This is how the battlefield is like life and death, and there is no sympathy to say.
Li Mo had already trained with his soldiers for the battle in the house. Everyone knew what they should do. In such a narrow place in the house, the P35 submachine gun had a huge advantage. The weapons in the hands of the government army were basically rifles, and the firepower and reaction speed were far behind Li Mo.
