A German soldier opened the bushes in front of him and carefully looked at the Soviet troops not far in front, which were gathering in chaos. The white camouflage cloth on his helmet has been removed, revealing the mesh covering the helmet. He followed his troops along the way, chasing and killing the Soviet troops who kept retreating.
There is a small pontoon here. Due to the retreat of the Soviets on the Don River, there are many such temporary pontoons. As long as the Soviets cross these pontoons, they will immediately blow up the deck and prevent the Germans from continuing to pursue them.
From the written role, these pontoons are very convenient, and they are simply the life-saving straw of the Soviet army. However, in actual operation, this temporary crossing tool was destroyed by more than half due to the interference of the Luftwaffe. Although the Soviet army desperately used these anti-aircraft guns to cover these temporary pontoons used to cross the river, it still crowded countless troops by the pontoon and could not immediately escape to the sky.
If you ask the bravest soldier in the world, is it the German armored force? The German tanks that dared to attack thousands of enemies with just a few tanks were extremely brave, but they were not the most frustrating service in the world.
Because there is always a group of people who like to drive vehicles and gallop ahead of the entire German armored force. They are the eyes of the armored forces. They are the scouts of the entire army. They use their lives to create fighter planes for the armored forces. They use their most violent attacks to prove that they are the bravest and fearless fighters in the world. These people are the reconnaissance units of the German armored forces, and each battle is the closest to the enemy.
The German soldier put down the bushes he pressed with his hands, quietly retreated the roadbed, carefully jumped over the ditch, and then retreated to the armored reconnaissance vehicle of the reconnaissance unit where he was, and walked to the captain of the armored vehicle. "Sergeant, there are about 4,000 enemies. I saw some heavy weapons and equipment, 122mm howitzers, and some trucks and t-26 tanks. There is no sign of deployment. They are retreating and there are people every minute. Cross the river. "
The soldier introduced the situation on a blank sheet of paper while sketching a brief battlefield situation diagram with a pencil. The German's cultural popularity is currently the highest among all military forces in the world. New recruits must receive training in various cultures. Most people must have a junior high school degree or above to be promoted to a sergeant within the German army.
So he didn't use a few seconds, he intuitively used a pen on the white paper paved on the front of the armored car to draw the messy scene of the Soviets crossing the river. The cannons were piled on the river bank, waiting for the car to be pulled When going to the river, the crew of the tank are not around the tank, but are gathering together, arguing with the infantry which troops can use the pontoon first.
The enemy is both in sight and in darkness, and the sergeant of the reconnaissance force immediately moved into his heart. This force has no decent perimeter guards at all, and even the basic defensive positions are not set up. The whole force is crowded into a regiment. It is a little more vulnerable than the troops under marching. At this time, if the German army has the power to cut into the Soviet position, it may directly collapse the Soviet army.
But what does he have in his hand now? A 20mm caliber machine gun may threaten the T-26 tank at a certain distance, but if facing thousands of Soviet soldiers at the same time, this matter is not very optimistic. Once the armored vehicle is caught in the enemy's encirclement Among them, then the fate of two or three people waiting for the German army can be imagined.
"I'm Sergeant Edward of the Scout Company! Yes, my current coordinates are 07-55 on the 7th page of the local combat map! There is an enemy pontoon at 08-57, requesting air support." Edward Zhong The soldier climbed into his armored car and called the air support with the radio above.
"This is the ground-air combat coordination office. I have heard your request. Please confirm that the location of the bombing request is 08-57 on page 7 of the partial map of the combat! The location is 08-57 on page 7 of the partial map!" The voice of the operator of the coordination department came, and after confirming the bombing target, the contact was cut off.
The sergeant on the armored vehicle lifted the high-powered telescope hanging on his chest and stood on the roof of the vehicle, then looked in the direction of the Soviet army in the distance, and finally drilled back into his turret, only revealing his own head. The standing scout said: "I'm going to raid to see if I can buy some time for the Air Force guys. You and Kent set up a cover position on the other side of the highway. If we return, help us provide some cover. . "
"Understood!" The German soldier nodded, carrying his assault rifle, bypassing the four-wheeled armored car and sitting in the sidecar of a BMW motorcycle with a sidecar. The motorcycle also started, and the man sitting in the driver's seat was the guy named Kent.
The two did not move with the armored vehicle, but stumbled on the muddy field. After rushing to the road, they went to the bush on the other side and aimed the machine gun on the motorcycle across the bush. The enemy might come. Position, then the two of them lie down not far from the motorcycle, waiting for the sound of crossfire in the distance.
Without letting the two of them wait for a long time, just as the Soviets were chaotically preparing to escape the Don River, behind them, a German armored car quietly arrived, aligning the black hole of the car with these holes. Unprotected Soviet recruits.
"Hey! Look, it seems to be a German armored car. Where did it come from?" A Soviet soldier carrying his Mosinnagan accidentally saw the armored car painted in German ash run over and had not recovered The shrubs that opened towards them.
He asked his companion while opening his elbow to the friend behind him. After hearing what he said, the surrounding Soviet soldiers looked in the direction he said, only to find that there was indeed a German armored car approaching there, with a black solid white edge painted on the front of the huge iron cross, indicating It belongs to the identity of the enemy.
What should I do at this time? Shouldn't it be fired immediately to counter the enemies that suddenly appeared? Why is everyone just watching the armored car getting closer and closer, but no one took off his rifle from behind? The first Soviet recruit who saw the German armored vehicle thought a bit confused.
But before he could make a correct demonstration for everyone, the short 20mm machine gun on the German armored car accompanied by the turret of the mg42 machine gun suddenly started shooting. The flames of the machine gun were ejected and the tracer bombs swept into the dense Soviet crowd. For a while, blood spattered everywhere, and the soldiers began to fall one by one without knowing what happened.
"Germany! Germans!" Finally, a not-to-be stupid German soldier shouted a warning that should have been called out long ago. Unfortunately, this call did not remind the nervous and panicked crowd of what to do. On the contrary, because of this hysterical cry, the desperate crowd became even more confused, so the crowd began to trample on each other, and the officers could no longer restrain their soldiers.
The Soviets near the pontoon began desperately crowding on the pontoon, and the soldiers who had already boarded the pontoon began desperately rushing across the river. The slow man was pushed down by the person behind him and fell into the river, or fell directly on the pontoon On the road, they were trampled into mud by someone who ran over.
The gunshots began to gather, not because the Soviets fought back against the Germans, but to stabilize their positions, or to compete for the qualification of the pontoon, they fired desperately at themselves. There has been a complete loss of control here, and everyone hopes to get rid of the German army behind them as soon as possible.
As for how many German troops are behind them, no one shouts about this important matter, and no one wants to know. Everyone just knows that the German army seems invincible. Everyone seems to want to go to the other side and then consider these messy things.
The four-wheeled armored vehicle numbered 224 of the German reconnaissance battalion quickly passed the crowd. The turret faced the lame enemies like lambs and easily dropped the ruthless bullet into the fragile . Although this battle is not over yet, it seems that the process has been easier than Sergeant Edwards expected, and I do not know how many times.
"Boom! Boom!" The 20-millimeter cannons fired continuously, and the Soviet t-26 tanks that were parked on the shore, without the operator, were destroyed one by one. In fact, those who have been frightened have broken their courage. The Soviet armored soldiers had no intention of returning to their tanks, because almost all Soviets knew that the so-called tank T-26, when confronting the German armored forces, was no different from the coffin.
Some bullets hit the side of the armored vehicle. Left and right bullet marks were left on it, and the Soviet counterattack finally began, but unfortunately everything seemed to come too late. Soviet soldiers with only rifles had no way to deal with the German armored vehicles that had been thickened, and they could deal with the equipment of the armored vehicles. Now they have become a pile of burning scrap iron.
"Wow!" Edward opened the hatch above his head, protruding his head, and using the vocabulary he learned from the Russian manual, pieced together a simple and easy-to-understand sentence: "Surrender! Or die!"
His voice thundered, so that the Soviet soldiers who were frightened and shrunk across the armored vehicle did not know how to deal with it. The Germans did not allow them to lay down the amount of weapons in their hands very cooperatively, and many people seemed to be holding a chance.
"Surrender! Or die!" Sergeant Edward shouted again, with strong confidence.
