MTL - USSR 1941-Chapter 28 group effect

  Chapter 28 Group Effects

   Time passed by one minute and one second.

  Shuerka believes that if there is a watch, he must be watching the beating of the pointer gradually approaching the attack time.

  But now, he could only hold the cold rifle in his hand and stare nervously ahead.

  In the darkness, there seemed to be a few figures jumping. It was the Germans who were actively preparing for battle while transporting ammunition.

  The Germans are very professional in this area. They are all experienced veterans, while most of the Soviet troops are rookies like Shulka.

   This made Shulka a little guilty. After all, the Soviet army used to hide in the trenches and fight defensive battles. This is obviously easier for rookies, because it only needs to hide in the trenches and pull the trigger towards the target.

  But now, they are going to attack the German army...

   But they don't seem to be rookies anymore, because they have already experienced two days of fighting and survived.

  Finally, with a few soft sounds of "chug", three red flares rose into the sky.

  Then gunshots rang out very quickly, and the area around the Bright Bridge, which was still quiet just now, seemed to explode. There were German soldiers shooting guns and Soviet soldiers as well. However, it is estimated that it was a random fight, because neither party actually saw anyone.

   A few seconds later, the flares rose into the air, and soon the area around the Bright Bridge was completely white, and the fighting between the enemy and us and the trenches came into everyone's eyes as if they were pulled out of hell.

   With a sound of "bang!", with a burst of recoil from the shoulder, a bullet flew out in the direction of the German army, and a German soldier fell down in response.

   After two days of fighting, Shulka has gradually adapted to the battlefield environment, although he still couldn't help being nervous before the battle.

In fact, Shulka found an interesting thing. Often the most nervous thing is before a battle. Once the battle starts, all he thinks about in his mind is **** the enemy and ensure that he will not die under the enemy's gun. No tight spaces.

  So, sometimes Shulka also wishes to enter the battle earlier, because the waiting process is more torturous.

   "Bang!" There was another gunshot, and a German soldier who was nervously calling in front of the walkie-talkie fell on his walkie-talkie as soon as he raised his head.

   Shulka found himself improving.

  In the previous battles, Shulka chose his target more by his intuition, or it can be said that he did not choose a target...he simply found an enemy and pointed the crosshair at him and pulled the trigger.

   Hit, Shulka will add a number in his heart.

   Miss, Shulka tries to make up a shot or find another target.

  But now, Shulka suddenly found that he seemed to be beyond this battle and observing the battlefield as a bystander... As the so-called bystander knows, he can quickly find out which targets are more worth hunting.

  For example, the communicator who is on the phone seems to be reporting an emergency to his superiors, or calling for artillery support.

  Who knew? He is dead!

   One shot of "Bang!", after knocking down an officer who jumped at the walkie-talkie, Shulka suddenly realized what the Germans were reporting.

  The German troops stationed at the Bright Bridge did not expect to be flanked by the Soviets on both sides, and the firepower was so fierce.

  So, Shulka believes that his goal is correct, and he should continue to lock the walkie-talkie.

   But then, Shulka discovered that he could use an easier way to ensure that the Germans could not get the news out...that is to send a walkie-talkie.

  The Soviet army did indeed put its main force into the Bright Bridge.

The total strength of the Kobrin Fortress is more than 700 people, of which 600 people were transferred to this direction, while the 500 surviving people in the central fortress deployed dozens of people to stay outside in the rear building, and almost all the rest were invested in the deployment. Wright Bridge... The rear buildings must be guarded, otherwise the German troops from other directions would charge into their camp from the rear.

  The German army only had one company with more than a hundred people at the Bright Bridge.

   This is the result of their underestimation of the enemy, or it can be said that they were in the middle of the game... The German commander thought that the Soviet army would send the main force to the north to break through instead of here.

  Perhaps for a quick decision, Lieutenant Venyakov ordered a few minutes after the battle broke out: "Bayonet on!"

  This choice was correct, the troops had an absolute advantage, and it caught the German army by surprise. At the same time, it was a night battle. In order to avoid complications, we should indeed launch a charge to eliminate the enemy in one go.

However, when Shulka pulled out the bayonet from his waist and stuck it on the bayonet seat, he hesitated again...Rushing out means being exposed to the enemy's firepower. The same situation as before, but now the roles are reversed.

   At this moment, Shulka asked himself a few questions:

  Do you want to learn from the German army and make a "Z" leap forward?

   Will comrades-in-arms cooperate with themselves to cover each other?

  How to fight hand-to-hand combat...

  It turns out that Shulka was thinking too much.

   "Comrades!" Captain Venyakov shouted: "The last moment! Soldiers, go!"

   "Come on!"

  With a loud shout, the soldiers scrambled out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy.

  Shuerka was a little late. He wanted to see how his comrades charged and then he learned how to do it...but soon found that the charge was out of order, and it was a swarm of bees.

   Then Shulka also jumped out of the trench.

  My brain went blank, and all tactics, actions, and coordination were all thrown out of the blue. Shulka only knew to rush forward behind his comrades with a bayonet.

   Everyone yelled like crazy: "Ulla, Ulla!"

Although Shuerka could feel the cold sweat slowly flowing down his back from the back of his neck with the movement of running, although Shuerka wanted to pretend to fall and lie on the ground several times, although the fear in his heart made Shurka hope that he would never Arriving in front of the enemy... But he still strode towards the enemy uncontrollably like a robot, followed by a shout that he didn't even recognize himself.

   "Da da da" a burst of machine guns swept across, several comrades fell down beside Shuerka, blood even spilled on Shuerka's face, warm and moist.

   Then there was the whistling sound of mortars, and shrapnel flew around Shulka like poisonous bees, tearing apart people's bodies and the ground. Occasionally, a few corpses fell from the sky and blocked the way.

   This was a good time for Shulka to get down on the ground, but for some reason, as if hypnotized, Shulka jumped over the corpses and continued to rush forward, and still accelerated.

  In hindsight, Shulka thinks this should be the group effect that people often say... When others are doing it, I can't help but join it.
