Chapter 705: snowflake

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
A small snowflake fell in the sky, and the temperature had unconsciously dropped to the point where people felt bitterly cold. The exhaled breath formed a shallow white mist around the mouth, and the cold steel helmet was no longer buckled on the head. Sultry, on the contrary, there is some coolness.
The German m35 helmet has been distributed to the first-line National Defense Forces in the 1920s. This helmet produced two models, one is a cheap export model woven with rope lining, mainly exported to the surrounding servants, early The product has only one sales channel, that is far away in China; one model is a high-end model lined with leather, there are vent holes through the perforated rivets on both sides, the rain helmet eaves and the delicate curled edge, winter Warm summer and cool first-class workmanship.
However, as the pace of German military expansion became faster and faster, helmets became a tight commodity. Some concentration camp non-front-line combat troops even distributed only a set of helmets for patrol soldiers to wear temporarily. The rest of them could only wear cloth Soft caps, so the distribution of the helmet is messed up.
Now on the front line of Germany, the exquisite m35 early-style helmets are only qualified for platoon-length personnel, and most soldiers use "new styles" without vents. Facts have proved that the new car is not necessarily better, and the new equipment is not necessarily strengthened.
When the Eastern Germans arrived in winter, they made very careful preparations, including a white camouflage camouflage that wrapped the helmet, and a windproof hood blouse to protect against the cold. However, this set of equipment is not very comfortable to wear, and its function is not perfect. At least the German gray-green multi-kinetic tactical vest can only be worn outside this smock.
Of course, there are always better than nothing, at least these things give the front-line German troops a fair camouflage camouflage after the first snow, compared to the famous iconic military uniform of gray-green In other words, it gives the grassroots soldiers some more chances to win.
Now another snow is coming, the sky on the entire east line is gloomy, and the cold currents cross with a harsh cold wind, blowing on the muzzle of the cannon made of steel, making a cry. There was silence on the ground, as if to hold his breath, waiting for the terrible time.
"Hoo!" A German soldier, about 35 years old, pressed his left assault rifle with his left hand, squeezed a half-smoked cigarette in his right hand, and exhaled a white smoke that did not know whether it was breath or smoke. Eyes deep in the eye sockets stared at the muddy land not far in front of the position, and farther away was a woodland where no margin could be seen, where the Soviets often haunted.
There is a mg42 machine gun position next to him. A bush is about 100 meters on the right. There is a 75mm long barrel of anti-aircraft artillery cleverly hidden there, which can destroy the Soviet Union ’s mortar from a distance of 1,000 meters. Most tanks, of course, except for monsters like the kv-2 tank.
This trench also has protruding positions that extend not far ahead. They are prepared for occasionally forward snipers and anti-tank teams during large-scale operations. They have been carefully disguised, and most of them are equipped with iron fists. The soldiers on the bazooka are also waiting for the battle at this time.
The highest-level combat readiness order has been issued. Half an hour ago, all front-line platoon units have received more cardinal ammunition. Everyone is required to stay in the icy combat position, and the squad leader and platoon leader are repeated. Emphasizes the precautions during combat, as well as the combat tasks that need to be completed in each position.
It is a veteran who smokes, and he can be identified from the fact that he can be equipped with a valuable assault rifle. As a non-commissioned officer, he is the backbone of a combat class. His task is to stabilize the entire cover position near the machine gun. Smoking is not allowed, but because the squad leader is on the other side of the position, the recruits around him dare not stop him from acting like a death.
In front of the entire position, the snow water and the soil were mixed together due to a slight increase in temperature more than ten days ago, and they were frozen because of the cooling of these days, and then they were covered with new snow. The color is not white and mixed. Mixed with a lot of black mottled. Many places were mined a few months ago, and no traces can be seen now. The reserved channels can only be distinguished according to the map, and there are no signs or signs at all.
The sky is still gloomy, and the speed of falling snowflakes is very slow, there is not much wind around, so when the falling snowflakes fall on the white steel helmet little by little, it gives people a feeling of time being slowed down.
However, the speed of the bullets will not be slowed down by the slow landing of snowflakes. Just as the German veterans swallowed the fog, a bullet flew from the distant woods, hitting a trench that was only 30 cm away from him. A white ice and snow splashed on the chest wall.
The German veteran was so scared that he quickly lost the cigarette in his hand. When his knees were soft, he retracted into the trench. He touched the helmet above his head with his hand and confirmed that he had not been hit by a bullet. This relieved him slightly. But before he could lift his head, the denser gunfire came from the woods, and the Soviet attack began without warning.
The veteran changed his position, glanced his head at a distance, and saw only about hundreds of Soviet soldiers rushing out of the woods, some people were waving guns in their hands, and some were firing with their guns. The scale is definitely the biggest in two months, and this number is not like a tentative attack.
"Hold on! Don't fire with automatic weapons! The rifle started to fight back!" The veteran shouted loudly, and then several German soldiers on the German position with Mauser 98k rifles aimed at them for a long time and opened fire. The groaning gunshots sparsely sounded, and the battle had just begun, far from reaching the cruelest peak.
For soldiers on both sides, this level of exchange of fire is similar to appetizers, the machine guns are not firing, and the heavy artillery is not screaming, so the whole scene is not very hot. Only the bullets hitting the trench mud occasionally remind everyone to pay attention to safety. The other thing is just to test whether everyone's usual shooting training arrives at home.
Obviously, the shooting skills of the German soldiers are deeper, and the accuracy of the German Mauser 98k is slightly better. After all, Germany's mechanical processing is much stronger than that of the Soviet Union, and the relocation of Soviet military production enterprises also directly affects the not-so-superior Soviet gun production quality. Of course, the two weapons are actually not much different in accuracy, and the main factors that affect the performance of the battlefield are maintenance and other aspects.
German soldiers shot very efficiently. Some were similar to three-stage shots. Some stood up and aimed at firing. Others squatted down and pulled the bolt to complete the feeding action, and they were covered by trench positions, so there were almost no casualties. Under the circumstances, at least a dozen Soviet soldiers have been killed.
With the passage of time, the Soviets are getting closer and closer to the German position. An unlucky Soviet encountered a trigger device of an s-type mine while running forward. This was called the German Defense Force. The "Bounce Betty" mine immediately sensed the shock from the outside world and worked without a doubt.
With a loud bang, the thunder jumped up from the icy mud, exploded in midair about 1.5 meters, and shot densely packed metal balls. So a violent storm of metal formed immediately around. A dozen Soviet soldiers were hit by these metal balls. The blood and flesh near the distance were already blurred, and the distance fell to the wound, and the screams continued.
With the explosion of this mine, a protruding machine gun position in Germany also began to roar violently, with a smell of robbery. The sound of tearing the linen made Soviet soldiers desperate. Although they were already very close to the Germans Position, but suddenly unable to go any further.
The bullets swept toward the Soviet Red Army like hail, and some of the Soviet Red Army soldiers wearing long cotton suits were shot in the snow. The blood stained the snow-white ground and flowed into the black dirt gap. The hay shook back and forth in the wind, flapping the cheeks of the Soviet Red Army that had fallen to the ground. Unfortunately, the open eyes on this face could never be closed.
The second mine exploded. The Soviets clearly realized the danger of breaking into the minefield. They began to slow down the charge, but they seemed to be reluctant to retreat so embarrassedly, so they advanced carefully, hoping to reduce the mines Casualties caused to them.
"Boom!" Another s-type mine flew up, and with a "bang" explosion, many Soviet soldiers fell in the pool of blood. Eventually the gunfire began to sparse, and the Soviets no longer advanced, but retreated while shooting back. It didn't take long for a seemingly violent battle to be repelled by the German team, and even some of the German team's firepower did not have time to fire.
"Boom!" Before the German soldiers began to celebrate their victory, a large-caliber shell hit the position not far from them. All of them squatted in the trenches by supporting their helmets according to training, and kept praying that the shells should not fall right in the middle of the trenches.
A series of explosions began one after another. The Soviet bombardment seemed to have no end at all. With the explosion, a group of black smoke pillars rose up from the entire position, which could be seen clearly from a kilometer away.
In a hidden and strong observation post not far away, next to the mirrors of two artillery teams, a German officer grabbed the phone and reported loudly to the military department in the distance: "Yes! There are heavy artillery bombarding our positions. The Soviet attack is larger than expected! For the time being we do n’t need support, but please prepare the assault force, I think it should be able to be used. "
