Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 69 The blood-stained unknown village

Many of the remains of cabins on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village that had been destroyed and blown up by the German shelling that had landed here were lit with a little fire. Smelling the burnt smell of charcoal in the air under my nose, these precautions were taken. The SS soldiers, clutching Mauser P40 submachine guns in their hands, finally entered the village entrance in fear.

Looking along the crack of the wooden pile window in front of him at the German infantry who were already less than a hundred meters away from his own side and very close at hand, Lieutenant Diakov, who was holding the Popod 1940 submachine gun tightly in his hand, immediately rushed toward him. The heavy machine gunner next to him who was preparing to attack said.

"Have you seen those German half-tracks? The machine guns mounted on them are our primary threat, so the first wave of attacks will be aimed at those half-tracks and knock them out! As long as these are gone Mobile machine gun fortress, the remaining German infantry are no match for us!"

"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant, just leave it to me!"

After giving a low reply softly, he immediately pulled the bolt of the heavy machine gun in his hand and entered the ready state where he could pull the trigger and fire at any time. The weapon held tightly in the hand of the heavy machine gunner at this moment was not just a cat or a dog. He is a mediocre person, but the Deshka 7mm high-level and flat dual-purpose heavy machine gun that is famous in the history of heavy machine guns in the entire world.

Speaking of the Russian name of this Deshka may make people feel a little unfamiliar, but when this Soviet-made heavy machine gun that shined on the Soviet-German battlefield during World War II was really well-known and deeply impressed by the Chinese people, But it was during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period after World War II.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when everything was waiting for improvement, the complete set of production materials and design drawings of the T-54A medium tank imported from the Soviet Union helped our country transform from a backward country that could not manufacture tanks on its own, to a country that could independently manufacture and maintain tanks. The Soviet-made T54A tank, one of the most advanced tanks in the world at the time, was a huge step forward.

The self-produced version of the Soviet-made T54A medium tank in my country is the "Legend of Five Pairs of Road Wheels" that was widely talked about by military fans in later generations - the Type 59 medium tank.

Along with the production data and design drawings of the Soviet T54A medium tank, which were imported, there were also the manufacturing drawings of the Deshka 7mm high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun that was equipped on its turret. It is this kind of Soviet-made high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun that made outstanding achievements during World War II and can be called a classic. It has accompanied the first generation of our country's armored soldiers through the vicissitudes of life that have experienced glory and the most bumpy years.

At the moment, the Deshka heavy machine gun, which is held tightly in the hand of the heavy machine gunner and is ready to go, has already been specially replaced with an armor-piercing bullet chain specifically designed to attack lightly armored targets due to the actual needs of the current battle situation.

This large-caliber armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullet with a bullet diameter of 7X108 mm has an astonishing ability to damage armor among infantry weapons. It can ensure penetration of up to 25 mm in a vertical state at a 90-degree angle within a distance of 500 meters. Quality steel armor.

Although this kind of penetration power is not enough to threaten the main German tanks, it is a powerful enough killer to deal with those SDKFZ251 half-track armored personnel carriers whose frontal armor thickness is only 8 to 10 mm. device.

When the SS infantrymen who were deep in the village clung to the left and right rows of the Type 251 half-track personnel carrier and carefully watched whether there was any movement around them, this pole poked out from the window of a dilapidated cabin less than a hundred meters away. The Deshka heavy machine gun that emerged from its muzzle finally launched an attack at the perfect time for its appearance.

Dong dong dong dong——

The barrage of crimson tracer bullets, accompanied by the unique drum-like dull sound of the Deshka 7mm heavy machine gun, instantly tore apart the superficial tranquility and echoed over the village. Suddenly and unpreparedly, The driver of the German Type 251 half-track vehicle who encountered this torrential barrage had no time to react.

The barrage of armor-piercing incendiary bombs trailing a red tracer was as easy as a red spike just taken out of the furnace poking into ice cream. After penetrating the front of the Type 251 half-track vehicle, it could only withstand ordinary rifles and rifles. Submachine gun rounds struck behind the fragile armor.

These 7mm armor-piercing bullets, which still carried a large amount of residual kinetic energy, even in a flash of blood, hit the driver and co-pilot of the Type 251 half-track vehicle together with the machine gunner manipulating the MG34 machine gun in the rear compartment before he could fire. It was beaten into a pile of bloody and human-shaped mud covered with bullet holes, and there was no need for rescue and no possibility of survival at all.

After pouring a long burst of fire at the Type 251 half-track vehicle, the Soviet heavy machine gunner did not give up. Instead, he immediately turned the black hole of the muzzle and stored the remaining 7 mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb chain in the magazine. Then they continued to fire without hesitation at the SS infantry who had reacted to the sound of gunfire and subconsciously hid behind the Type 251 half-track vehicle in an attempt to use it as a bunker.

The Soviet-made 7X108mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb, which is enough to penetrate the fragile frontal armor of the Type 251 half-track vehicle, still retains the devastating lethality to the human body even after penetrating the armor.

Those SS infantrymen who subconsciously hid behind the Type 251 tracked vehicle due to the soldier's instinctive reaction at the moment when the gunfire rang out soon paid an extremely heavy price with their lives in a burst of blood splattering behind the vehicle. .

At the same time, the Soviet infantry who used the sound of gunfire as a signal and ambushed in other corners of the village also began a fierce attack on the German troops entering the village.

Mosin-Nagant rifle, Popod submachine gun, DP28 light machine gun, Deshka heavy machine gun

In the hastily launched ambush, almost all the small weapons that could be found in the Soviet infantry ranks immediately rang out over the village. Amidst the gunfire, the SS infantrymen encountered fierce beatings from all angles. The head is ignored. The bullets fired from all directions and all directions at the same time made it impossible for these elite SS infantrymen of the Führer's pro-army forces to find a relatively safe bunker where they could stay and live.

Holding tightly the Deshka heavy machine gun that had just poured out a magazine and had replaced it with an ordinary anti-infantry ammunition belt, it roared into action again. He watched the SS infantry in front of him, who had nowhere to hide, like frightened rabbits. Under the tracer barrage, one after another twisted and fell to the ground. This young Soviet heavy machine gunner, who was extremely excited and full of adrenaline, pulled the trigger in his hand and shouted loudly as if he was enjoying himself.

"Haha, keep coming, you naughty lackeys! Please accept cordial greetings from the Kiev Communist Youth League!"
