The attack aircraft aviation regiment soon reached the sky above Safran. Under the ground guidance of the 41st Guards Division, it attacked the German defensive positions and destroyed many firepower points.
When he saw the attack planes of the aviation regiment completing their attack and starting to return one after another, Kurishenko issued the order to attack. In fact, as early as when attack planes carried out ground attacks, Sidorin proposed that the troops attack German positions while receiving air support. Unfortunately, his proposal was rejected by Kurishenko on the grounds that the air force was attacking the German positions and if the attack was launched too early, unnecessary accidental damage might be caused.
Seeing the Soviet attack aircraft regiment leaving, the German troops who had escaped the air attack returned to the trenches. They set up weapons on the edge of the trenches and waited for the Soviet troops to fall into the trap.
Sure enough, as soon as the gunpowder smoke that filled the front of the position dissipated, the Soviet offensive troops appeared in front of the German army. However, the German army did not fire, but remained silent. Anyway, the smoke on the position had not completely dissipated at this moment, and the attacking Soviet army could not see clearly whether there was anyone on the position.
But when the attacking troops were still two hundred meters away from their position, the German mortars opened fire.
First, there was the scream of artillery shells in the sky, and then they fell into the ranks of Soviet skirmishers and exploded. The soldiers who reacted faster relied on their tactical instincts to lie down; while the recruits who had little combat experience still walked forward stupidly, and then were blown away by the shells falling around them.
Seeing that the Soviet offensive formation was disrupted by artillery fire, the machine guns on the position roared again, either knocking down the soldiers who were still advancing, or suppressing the veterans lying on the ground until they could not raise their heads.
Sidorin in the observation post stamped his feet anxiously when he saw this situation. Although there is an artillery regiment in the division, all the artillery pieces were lost in the last battle, and the superiors have not had time to replenish them. At this moment, seeing the attacking troops being suppressed by the German firepower again, I thought painfully: "The artillery, even with only one small-caliber firepower, can eliminate the firepower points on the German position and allow our soldiers to continue to charge forward."
Kurishenko, who was standing next to him, frowned when he saw this situation: "Why are all our soldiers lying down? We need to make them stand up and continue to charge forward."
"Comrade division commander," after hearing Kurishenko's order, Sidorin quickly came out to stop him and said, "haven't you seen that the firepower on the German position is too fierce? The firepower network formed by their mortars and machine guns , making it impossible for our soldiers to move forward. If we want to attack forcefully, we will definitely pay a heavy price."
While Kurishenko and Sidorin were still arguing, the roar of aircraft engines came again in the air. The two looked up into the sky and found only a lone transport plane flying slowly towards the German position.
"What the hell, what is this transport plane doing to the enemy's position?" Kurishenko said in surprise: "Are they planning to drop paratroopers behind the enemy's position?"
"This is impossible." Sidorin retorted loudly: "This kind of transport aircraft can only carry more than twenty paratroopers at most. If such a small number of paratroopers parachute over the enemy's position, they will be destroyed by all the German firepower on the ground before they land. Eliminated.”
Faced with the sudden appearance of a transport plane, no matter whether the Soviet commanders and fighters were confused, even the Germans felt strange. Why did a Soviet transport plane appear here? Could it be that it had lost its way?
Just when the officers and soldiers of both the Soviet Union and Germany were guessing, the door of the plane opened, revealing two black muzzles. Then both sides saw dazzling muzzle flashes, and two tongues of flame poured towards the German positions, wherever they went. It was a scorched earth, and the logs above the civil fortifications could be broken, let alone the German officers and soldiers in the fortifications.
Although the weapon fired on the transport aircraft is a 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun, its power is not weaker than the 23mm cannon. The transport plane hovered at low altitude, constantly tilting the flames, and the bullet casings fell from the sky like a goddess scattering flowers. Wherever the tongues of flames touched, the flesh and blood of the German army was immediately beaten to ashes, and the German positions where they had been shooting wildly were suddenly mute.
When they were attacked by an attack aircraft aviation regiment, the German officers and soldiers were not worried. After all, the war had been going on for so long. Anyone who had not been attacked by an air attack would be embarrassed to say that he had been on the battlefield. But now this Soviet transport plane is simply abnormal. It fights in circles around its own position without even a place to hide. How can we fight this battle?
Since the Soviet army has one such transport plane, who knows whether a second or third one will appear later? After more transport planes equipped with weapons arrived, if he still stayed on the position, he would probably die without any body parts. Therefore, some cunning German officers and soldiers abandoned their positions and ran backward along the traffic trench, hoping to escape the death in the air.
The transport plane, which Sokov turned into an aerial fortress and the Germans called it the God of Death in the air, fired a circle around the German positions and then stopped shooting. Instead, it dropped aerial bombs downwards to destroy those that seemed to be relatively solid. civil firepower point.
The Soviet commanders and fighters, who had been suppressed by German firepower and unable to move, stood up and cheered when they saw how powerful their transport plane was, and then rushed towards the German position with weapons in hand.
Originally there were only a few groups of officers and soldiers fleeing on the position, but when they saw the Soviet troops pressing up, the Germans on the position knew that they could not hold the position. If they continued to stay here, they were either killed by machine guns from the aircraft or shot to death on the ground. The troops were killed in a random grab, and if they wanted to save their lives, they had no choice but to retreat, so they all joined the fleeing queue.
