Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Two German soldiers lay silently in the ruins, and one German soldier pointed the mg42 machine gun at the end of the street. The deputy shooter hid the bullet chain in his palm and stared at the street junction in the distance with his eyes motionless.
At their feet, there is also a spare ammo box, which contains a full box of coiled chains, which can ensure that they are shooting crazy here, regardless of the ammunition. As long as the opponent rushes out of the direction they want to shoot, they will be hit by a storm.
Both of them are wearing gray-green military uniforms, which are standard German spring and autumn military uniforms. Because they are crawling through the ruins of the city, their bodies are covered with dust, so at this moment, the two of them seem to be in harmony with the surrounding environment. For oneness.
The two Germans had a grid helmet on top of one person's head, while the helmet on the other person's head had only a white group army emblem on the side. Behind the deputy shooter was also carrying a Mauser 98k rifle. The tactical vests on the two men showed that they were the backbone of this unit and the orthodox German infantry.
And beside them, there are a few soldiers wearing German suits but without bulletproof vests and other equipment. They are obviously Ukrainians and Belarusians. These people have grenades hanging in their pockets with clothes around their waists. Gathered in a crater, watching the movements in all directions.
The infantry in the crater was responsible for covering the German machine gun positions at the commanding heights of the ruins. As long as the machine gun positions were present, they could easily repel Soviet soldiers who had attacked from the front. After the crater at the foot was hit by a shell, they attacked the ruin.
"I feel someone is coming." The deputy shooter stared at the street in front of him, and said to the shooter around him: "The Soviets will never be so reckless, they will fight back here and try to drive us out."
"You're right, because I have seen them coming." The machine gun shooter pulled the gun on the gun body by hand, and the bullet clicked. His eyes were connected to the sight on the machine gun, and then the sight was naturally pressed against a Soviet man who had just rushed out of the corner.
He didn't fire, but pressed his finger against the trigger calmly, his cheek against the body of the cold machine gun, and the feeling of coolness was transmitted to every corner of the body, so that his whole person was absorbed.
There is no reason to easily expose the position of a machine gun position, especially a machine gun position with a wide view and a very ideal position. All they have to do is wait for the Soviets to reach a certain level and show the power of the mg42 machine gun to destroy the world.
The second Soviet rushed out of the corner, but he was hit in the chest by a bullet shot by a German rifle, and the whole person fell backwards. Obviously beside the ruin, the German infantry in the crater also showed their The enemy is desperately firing.
These Germans do not have many automatic weapons. Compared with the elite German troops, they have almost no high-end equipment such as the mp-44 assault rifle, and even the g43 is pitiful. Most of these cannon ash from Ukraine and Belarus are only equipped with Mao's 98k rifle, and the performance of this rifle is almost the same as that of Mosinagan.
Dense gunshots sounded, and a Soviet machine gun team began firing at the German position at the corner of the street. They aimed at the Germans near the crater and drove the dense bullets there. A cloud of smoke rose near the crater, and the German recruits there were all scared and curled up, daring not to show up and start firing again.
With the fire cover, the Soviet army acted more boldly. They stooped and ran forward, hoping to quickly pull into the distance between the two sides. On the other side of the street where the Germans were stationed, a window suddenly fired a dazzling tongue of fire. Obviously, not only the Germans stationed in the craters were nearby.
The German G43 rifle over the window fired a crisp sound every time it fired. It sounded very different from the sound of the Mauser rifle. With the fragmentary sound of the Mauser rifle, the Soviet offensive was again attacked Suppressed, the bodies of dozens of Soviet soldiers were lying on the street. For a time, everyone was trying to shoot each other and kill each other's gunmen.
The Soviet machine gun on the corner of the street could not shoot into the window on the same side of the street because of the angle problem. The German soldiers were stationed. Therefore, the casualties of the Soviet army were very large, and it was impossible for a time to break through the street blocked by the German crossfire.
"Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!" The German machine-gun position above the ruins finally opened fire after the Soviet army invested a lot of troops. The machine gunner had already pointed the muzzle of the machine gun to the Soviet machine gun team over there. He was just waiting quietly, waiting for his chance to join the battle. Now that the opportunity came, he did not hesitate to squeeze the trigger pressed by his finger.
The saw-like roar that was unique to the German machine gun sounded. While the tracer bomb exposed the machine gun position, it also gave the machine gunner a good solution to the problem of correction of the shooting deviation. Without using a few bullets, the bullet rain from the German machine gun swept the Soviet machine gun team and shot a white dust smoke around them.
After the bullets passed through the human body, the gravel that hit the surrounding roads and other things, accompanied by the splashing blood and the screams of the Soviets, formed a very gorgeous picture. In the picture, the Soviet soldiers turned their horses upside down, with Mars and twisted faces everywhere.
With the familiar and frightening sound of tearing the linen, the German machine gun bullets were densely pressed against the Soviet position, the Soviet soldiers were hit everywhere, and the bodies that fell on the ground were everywhere. The Soviet machine gun team was instantly screened, and even the machine gun was hit by several bullet holes.
The Soviet infantry, which had been suppressed by the German fire on the side of the street, saw a German machine gun position suddenly hidden across the top of the ruins opposite them. They watched in horror as the tracer flew to the machine gun position that covered them, and then they were smashed into a flesh. Flying hell.
These Soviet soldiers already knew that their attack had failed this time. For them, the question now became how to retreat safely. No one knows whether they can retreat to the corner of the exit.
Generally speaking, in the case of a jackal in front and a tiger and leopard in the past, people need to respond with intuition. In this case, there is often no time to carefully analyze and plan, and can only rely on a temporary instant response. The Soviet army, which was suppressed in front of the German position, also made their choice at this moment. These people immediately turned their direction and ran away towards the place where they left.
The charge is also dead, and the retreat is also dead. For these Soviet troops, their destiny is no longer in their own hands. They need to rely on their own luck and the mercy of the enemy and their own people.
The Germans will have no mercy. They are shooting wildly at the defeated Soviet infantry, seeming to vent their agony that was suppressed to suffocation. Bullets hit the backs of these retreating Soviet troops, knocking these people to the ground like cutting wheat.
Quite unfortunately, obviously the Soviets did not give their companions mercy today. They did not cover the retreating soldiers, but allowed the Germans to kill their companions. Many Soviet political workers suggested that the soldiers should be shot. This proposal was eventually rejected by Rokosovsky. But he could not stop his men from disguising the execution of the retreating soldiers. For example, like today, they did not cover the retreating troops.
This led to the loss of Soviet troops on the edge of the city on the second day of the official start of the street battle in Stalingrad. There is a relatively wide shooting environment, and the German firepower can be used to the extreme. The Soviet casualties were so scary that almost 10,000 people were killed in one day.
Such a huge loss was on the one hand the Soviet army's artificial obstruction of the retreat, on the one hand, it was also because the Soviet army insisted on counterattacks and repeatedly fought for positions with the German army. In total, Stalingrad is only that large. If you retreat blindly, the area of ​​this city may not be enough for half a year.
In short, for one reason or another, after the Soviets got the reserve of three divisions and entered Stalingrad, they launched a crazy counterattack against the Germans. Although most of the counterattacks were repelled by the Germans, some Soviets It really repelled the attacking Germans and once pushed the battlefield to the outskirts of Stalingrad.
On this day, the Germans lost two blocks in their hands, and almost threw the city part of their hands to the Soviets. After the two sides paid a total of 50,000 deaths, their positions are now almost the same as they were two days ago.
The German senior generals who had experienced the First World War looked at the data in front of them, and the place name Verdun appeared in their minds. No one can move forward. The battle was also called a Verdun meat grinder by historians because of such heavy casualties.
Now they seem to see the scene of the year again, that is the pain that the entire German 6 Army is unwilling to remember. Now this kind of thing has appeared again. For the first time since the war, the Germans have seen 10,000 killed in battle, but they have not been able to move forward.
But even if the losses were so huge, the Germans still did not change the offensive plan they made a month ago. On the last day of March, the Germans and the counterattack Soviets launched an offensive, and the battle of Stalingrad continued in this form of casualties, and boringly continued.
