War is like a giant meat grinder for junior officers. - [Su] Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, Marshal of the Soviet Union.

※※※

Day 1, morning.

The Soviets were furious when they found out that their arsenal had been blown to pieces. The 3rd Infantry Division and the 68th Infantry Division, drawn from the Far Eastern Front (with its headquarters in Vladivostok, Vladivostok), were sent to destroy the invading enemy.

The Soviet infantry division had three infantry regiments, and the pre-war regulations were 18,000 full men. These people can annihilate Hans's assault brigade with even a single spit.

But what disappointed them was that the rear, in order to attract the attention of the enemy troops, airdropped a paratrooper battalion equipped with heavy weapons from the rear. This paratrooper battalion even has light anti-tank guns and is capable of constant fire suppression. This was a very obvious blow to the morale of the infantry of the Soviet army.

The 3rd Infantry Division was responsible for the offensive missions to the east and south, while the 68th Infantry Division was responsible for the offensive missions to the west and north. Before attacking the German positions, the Soviets launched an overturning artillery bombardment, enveloping the German positions under fire. But the German positions were built by paratrooper units, and the fortification was not at all possible for ordinary infantry divisions. Artillery holes are the cellars of small villages, which are dug very deep to store food such as beets, so it is difficult for the artillery of these infantry divisions and artillery regiments to penetrate.

When the shelling was over, it was the turn of the Germans to return fire. The German 1st parachute artillery platoon had 2 LG-40 recoilless runs. The head of state equipped them with good things - Z-shaped shells. During the previous shelling, the paratroopers had already found the position of the enemy artillery according to the position of the artillery sound and the report of the HE-112 reconnaissance aircraft in the air, so the next thing was that the Soviet artillery was bombed.

In order to cover the artillery positions of the Soviet troops with fire, Hans used up all the 75 mm Z ammunition. The Soviets paid for their actions in the morning, and the entire artillery position was lost. The Germans hurriedly hid their artillery, because when they encountered tanks, they still needed it.

The Soviets used the traditional tactic of crowds - a group of men charging into enemy positions in waves, usually requiring one battalion at a time.

The German firepower, though not very intensive, was accurate and deadly.

The Soviet army was quickly attritional, and soon all the soldiers of the first wave fell. The soldiers of the second wave picked up the weapons that the soldiers of the first wave no longer needed and continued to attack. But the German firepower caused them to suffer heavy casualties again.

A young Soviet soldier found it impossible to defeat the Germans, at least for now. So he pouted a few soldiers nearby: "Comrades, retreat quickly!" ”

One person can cause a flash flood of collapse, which is the head sheep effect.

The Soviet attacking troops retreated at full speed, which made people. Minnai. The morale of the service troops has gone bad. A Politics. He picked up a loudspeaker: "Soldiers, according to S. Order No. 227 of Comrade Obayashi...... I order you to go back at once, or we're going to shoot!" ”

For these Soviet soldiers, what they hope for on the battlefield is to survive 24 hours, and then care about the rest of the matter. Then the rout became even more violent.

The machine-gun group operated the Maxim machine gun and opened fire, but this still could not prevent the mass rout of the Soviet soldiers. Politics. Seeing that the machine gunner next to him was mainly throwing his gun into the sky, he pushed the machine gunner away and opened fire on the defeated Soviet soldiers.

The poor Soviet soldier was quickly wiped out in the crater between the Soviet and German positions.

(Su Junzheng. It is well documented that there are many memoirs about World War II that are written about the Soviet military administration. Violence of the Commission. Yes. For example, "Soldiers in the City" will be the Soviet military and political. The commission opened fire on the Soviet deserters and deserters. ）

The Soviet offensive continued until 4 p.m., and when the Soviet offensive stopped, the German positions were densely packed with Soviet corpses. Body. Some were still alive, but the Soviet army did not save them because of the backwardness of medical equipment, but left them to the German army. But the Germans did not act, because countless of their predecessors had suffered in this regard - when treating the wounded Soviet soldiers, the deadly bullets of the Soviet snipers or the bayonets of the wounded Soviet soldiers would have allowed them to settle in another world.

When the time comes, it will be sad to death.

The screams of the wounded soldiers of the Soviet army affected the morale of the Soviet army, so the genuine Soviet soldiers. Minnai. The troops fired. None of the wounded survived, and all of them were headshot.

Person. Minnai. The service units were even inferior to the Waffen-SS, and their task was to supervise the war, and they even had the right to shoot at deserters. So in World War II, once the German soldiers on the Eastern Front captured people. Minnai. The soldiers of the army put them to death on the spot; It's like the Soviet army executing a Crotch Guard soldier.

The Soviets suspended the offensive in the afternoon due to excessive infantry casualties, resting on the spot and waiting for reinforcements to arrive. If the commander of the Soviet army knew that there was only one battalion and two platoons of soldiers in the small village in front of him, I wonder what his expression would be.

In fact, the German soldiers were not much better, and they also suffered heavy losses. But the German soldiers persevered with their training and a capable non-commissioned officer corps.

At that time, the 100,000 elite troops of the German army became a non-commissioned officer corps, and in the war, if an army wants to maintain its crack combat effectiveness, it must have a capable non-commissioned officer corps. The officer corps is primarily responsible for decision-making, while the non-commissioned officer corps is responsible for the actual implementation of the battlefield. If there is no non-commissioned officer corps, then the officer corps is equivalent to none, so the non-commissioned officer corps is very important.

United Kingdom. The army has abandoned attempts to restore the country in Western Europe, and now the British. The army turned to the Soviet Union, supported the Soviet Union with more weapons and equipment, and sent troops to the Soviet Union. For example, the re-established 1st Infantry Division, whose commander was an unknown major general, was very well equipped, even better than most German panzergrenadiers. And as far as the current Soviet Union is concerned, there is still a lot of fuel in warehouses near Moscow, which can make these troops better fighting.

United Kingdom. As soon as the army arrived, they went into battle. Because the British were arrogant by nature, just like their Royal Navy, they looked down on the Soviet army as soon as they saw it. So it was decided to attack on its own.

United Kingdom. The army chose to face northwest, according to the British. Observation of the army, the terrain in this direction is relatively flat, suitable for the attack of armored forces.

But this was only the idea of the major general, who did not think about the angle of the enemy at all. Attacking in the plains is a better target for the enemy as well as being able to move better. It doesn't matter much when the tanks attack, but when the mechanized infantry attacks on the M2, it's sad.

The M2's design is very frustrating: its crew compartment is separated from the cabin at the back, which means that if both the driver and the heavy are killed, the person behind cannot replace the driver.

The German paratroopers, who were well aware of this characteristic of the M2, responded by precisely designing the enemy's wheelhouse. Because the engagement distance was just right, the Mosinagan rifles used by the paratroopers were able to achieve maximum traumatic effect. Accurate shooting can save the life of a Soviet driver, and a machine gunner who sticks out half of his body can hit even a blind man.

United Kingdom. The main offensive of the army was dominated by the "Churchill" Mk.IV infantry tank, the M4A1 "Sherman" tank. The number of these tanks is really quite a lot, but in the burning. Under the blow of the air bombs, all of them became lifeless tin cans.

The Soviet commander looked at the British from his position. The dazzling fireballs that rose above the army's attack queue suddenly seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in their hearts. They thought to themselves, "It's good that those weapons don't have a long enough range, otherwise we would have suffered a long time ago." ”

Now the Soviets are congratulating themselves that they did not attack again, and the British . The army was very remorseful. That Major General even wanted to kill himself because he would be British. The British Colonial Army, which had been reorganized into an army, was in shambles. And the expensive tanks were all destroyed, and they couldn't get close at all.

The battle had taught the British major general a lesson, but he would not have time to digest it - the "Churchill" he was riding was set on fire. The air bomb hit, and the last scene the major general saw was the flames in front of his eyes, and before he died, he felt that his body was completely out of control.

The British tank units, which had lost their command, were destroyed one by one, while the mechanized infantry were trapped in their vehicles under the accurate fire of other paratroopers.

There was a soldier in a half-track who tried to jump out of the car to escape, but as soon as he opened the door, a barrage of bullets hit the half-track. So the British soldiers huddled together like piglets, snuggling up to each other.

A BF-109F fighter suddenly appeared in the air, and was constantly lowering the altitude towards the German position.

Arriving over the German positions, the plane dropped a note: "Our troops have attacked to the vicinity of Minsk. However, due to the resistance of the enemy troops, it is expected to be able to arrive tomorrow morning. ”

This is impossible to assess whether it is good or bad for paratroopers. On the one hand, friendly troops are coming, which is a good thing, but it is so long that it is possible that the paratroopers may have all been killed by that time.

Colonel Hans managed to collect some ammunition and some enemy weapons. In this case, at least there is no need to worry about ammunition below.

The next battle is to fight who is ruthless, is to fight who has more stamina. Now the Germans have only a pitiful 500 men left, and the original paratrooper battalion was 1,400 men, but now it has been severely reduced. Colonel Hans's commando attrition was also very powerful.

Now they are facing the Soviet army and other countries. The family's army even exceeded 30,000 people. This is a very severe physical and psychological test for them, as they not only need to withstand the enemy's attack, but also have to face the piles of enemy corpses in front of their own positions. Body.

And now the best way to boost morale is to have a hot meal. (Anyway, this thing really works, and when surrounded by enemies, a hot meal represents a really big deal.) And Hans's assault team had exactly the right thing - heating stickers, a thing whose main ingredient is quicklime, which can provide a high temperature of 300 degrees Celsius within thirty minutes after being wet with water, which Ji Feng specially prepared for these paratroopers.

The Soviets were not so good because they saw the British. An entire division of the army had been wiped out or trapped in front of the position, and now they did not dare to make a fire. So these poor surviving Soviet soldiers could only eat cold canned food. And these American-made luncheon meats that taste like chewing wood crumbs (this thing is beautiful. Not popular among the military, but other allies. It's quite popular at home. There were a few American GIs who complained about the poor luncheon meat, and then a British major walked up to them, threw a piece of luncheon meat on the ground, and then picked it up and ate it...... It also lowered the morale of the Soviet army, and in the eyes of these Soviet soldiers, they had already lost. Because this is on his own territory, he didn't even dare to make a fire, and how to fight this battle.

In fact, the German army is now less than 200 kilometers away from these unlucky eggs, and along the way, the German armored forces are like no one, especially the 1st Demonstration Armored Division, which is like a wolf and a tiger. In addition, the Soviet troops on the front line could only be transferred from Moscow because of the destruction of ammunition depots, so there was a big problem with logistics and supply, and defeat was inevitable.

In the early hours of the morning, the Soviet commanders launched a night attack, hoping to completely annihilate the German paratroopers through this night attack. For there was not much left of the German paratroopers, and now was at a time when the vigilance of the people was at its lowest, it was all the more suitable for these things. Therefore, the commander of the Soviet army agreed to the night attack plan without thinking about anything, and it was not the military commander who made the decision, but a Soviet division-level politician. Send. The Soviet command system was very chaotic, so it was not so unforgivable for these people who were completely incapable of fighting to sign orders.

The hamlet was now defended like an iron bucket, but since people were always feeling a little sleepy in the early hours of the morning, the Soviet soldiers lightly dealt with some of the German soldiers standing guard.

Many trenches had already been lost, but instead of checking their booty, the Soviets chose to continue the attack.

An alert MG Heavy saluted the battle - he found that the reflection of the steel helmet was flickering inside the trench, and the steel helmets of his own paratroopers were all treated and could not reflect at all, so he was sure that it was a night attack. The machine gunner immediately sounded the alarm and suppressed the fire with the machine gun.

The German soldiers, who had not slept very well, immediately jumped out of bed and rushed into the trenches with their weapons or sapper shovels in their hands. (The sapper shovel was a very effective hand-to-hand combat tool in World War II, with sharp edges being better than bayonets, and a large area of the shovel surface that could be used as a pan, and even the brain could be used if it was used too hard.) The pulp is shot out. Because the German soldiers were obviously more trained, the Soviet offensive with veterans was lightly defused.

Despite this, the trenches occupied by Soviet soldiers were not recaptured. If these trenches could not be recaptured, they would become salients of the Soviet offensive, and the German paratroopers would be even more severe.

Attentively, Colonel Hans noticed that there was a white fur hat in the middle of the battle, and that the owner of the fur hat seemed to be very popular with the Soviet soldiers. So Colonel Hans deduced from his own experience that the owner of the fur hat must have been a high-ranking officer.

The price of this white fur hat is obviously very high, and this is definitely not something that an ordinary soldier can afford, and the owner of this white fur hat can effectively inspire soldiers to fight, it is clear that this person is not simple.

※※※

Colonel Hans brought a sniper rifle, and when he was about to shoot, one hand was pressed down, and suddenly Colonel Hans almost fell to the ground because of his unstable center of gravity.

The owner of this hand was a familiar-looking old man with a harmless and kind smile on his face, while the captain's uniform looked very comical. Hans rubbed his eyes, and reaffirmed his nickname "Poor Hans" - the man in front of him turned out to be the legendary emperor of zài. Head of State, Emperor. There is only one emperor in the country. Generalissimo Mang, the national star - Ji Feng's children's shoes.

Ji Feng stretched out his hand to the back, and Artoria in the back had already cooperated with Ji Feng, and a beautifully crafted Barrett M82A1 was delivered to Ji Feng's hands. Ji Feng found a magazine, pulled the bolt after loading, and the golden observation bullet was loaded into the chamber. [Note 1]

After a simple distance measurement, Ji Feng deducted the plate machine. The feel is like breaking a glass rod, which is exactly the quality of a sniper rifle.

After only a few tens of milliseconds of flight, the bullet blossomed in the head of the owner of the fur hat, and the place where the fur hat stood was replaced by a red and white one.

The Soviet army lost its leadership, and all of a sudden it was as if it had lost its backbone, and the offensive began to be somewhat disordered. So the German paratroopers took this opportunity to attack and completely expelled the Soviet soldiers from the trenches.

Colonel Hans was still wondering how the Führer had come, and Ji Feng seemed to know his thoughts, pointing behind Colonel Hans. Hans looked back and saw the vast wilderness of Russia; So Hans looked at Ji Feng in confusion, Ji Feng pointed again, Hans looked back again and saw a monster.

This is an XL Mi-24F multi-role helicopter with complete stealth equipment, and is one of the products from the future (compared to 41 years).

The plane hadn't quite landed, and Hans even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. But this no sound is one of Ji Feng's methods - although Ji Feng has used a hydrogen engine, there will still be sound, so Ji Feng has added a formation to the engine, so that the engine will not produce any noise, and it will truly be completely invisible.

Hans knew that it wasn't his right to ask, so he shut his mouth in disbelief.

Under the aura of pig's feet of the Führer's presence on the battlefield, the paratroopers held out until noon.

Second Class General Manstein, who was in charge of the offensive on the Northern Front, led his armored troops in the SD.KFZ.251 armored command vehicle, including the 1st Demonstration Armored Division under the command of Ji Feng, to the battlefield.

The Soviet infantry was dispersed very lightly, and some light SD.KFZ.232 armored reconnaissance vehicles went in pursuit.

Ji Feng was very angry, because the second-class general Manstein swore to himself that his troops would definitely arrive in the morning, but it was already noon, and Manstein's vanguard had just arrived. This made Ji Feng very angry, because in this case, there might be thousands of people with braids.

Ji Feng walked in front of Manstein, the second-rank general was obviously stunned, because he didn't think of the emperor at all. The head of state even ran into the encirclement.

Ji Feng said solemnly: "Second Admiral Manstein, because you are bragging in front of me and other reasons, I think you need to change your position for the time being, and temporarily go to the 11th Armored Army as a commander." Your post is held by General Qu Hillel. ”

Manstein looked bitter, Ji Feng pretended to be angry and said, "What? Not enough? Then go to the chick division. ”

The chick division was made by the guy from Yodel, and the main armor was a small Italian half-man tall tank. The division commander is just a colonel, and no one will like the soldiers of the chicken division.

Manstein was even more sad, he was already very sad to be a military commander, but now he let himself be a division commander in a place where birds don't, it's so sad. (Author's words: Hehe, provoked Ji Feng's children's shoes, it's time to do it!) ）

Ji Feng smiled and said, "Okay, my Manstein, you go to the 9th Army, it's always okay to be the commander, right?" ”

So, poor Manstein became the commander of the 11th Army for 1 minute and the commander of the Chicken Division for 33 seconds. The commander of the National Fragrance Gluttonous Army. In the emperor. In the state system, although this is only a military commander's position, administratively it is even half a rank higher than Manstein's original position.

The old general was completely confused, and Ji Feng walked in the direction of the helicopter without looking back.

The old general didn't understand what he was doing now, so he went to ask Ji Feng's adjutant lieutenant, Lieutenant Colonel Shi Meng.

The lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you have time to find a big leak now." Originally, there was no commander in the Ninth Army, but many people in this position were spying on. ”

The old general asked shamelessly: "What about my position?" ”

Schmund deliberately pretended not to understand: "Which position are you talking about?" ”

The old general said eagerly: "The position of the Northern Armored Army." ”

Schmont said inscrutablely: "Although it is General Quchler's now, the future cannot be revealed." I advise you, old man, to complete the Führer's task as soon as possible, maybe the Führer will transfer the 9th Army to the Northern Panzer Army and reinstate you. ”

Schmont followed Ji Feng in a dashing manner, leaving the wide-eyed General Manstein and his troops.

※※※

The defense of the hamlet was fought very well, and although it cost the lives of hundreds of paratroopers, it destroyed important strategic targets of the Soviet army, and completely annihilated two Soviet infantry divisions and a British armored division. In other words, Colonel Hans has picked up the treasure. Now Colonel Hans is smirking in front of Ji Feng, because of his military exploits, he has been promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel, which is already a seniority that has spanned many years.

Ji Feng announced an order that made Hans happy: he promoted Colonel Hans to the rank of Second Class Brigadier General of the Air Force on the spot, and awarded the Knight's Iron Cross with silver oak leaves for two swords.

Now it was a happy time, and Hans directly skipped the position of colonel.

[Note 1] Observation bullets: Generally used in fighter jets to calibrate their ballistics, and sometimes used in sniper rifles. The Geneva Conventions stipulate that observation munitions are not to be used, but on the Soviet-German battlefield, Soviet snipers preferred such observation munitions. The 7.62 mm observation munition can blow up a tree trunk with a diameter of 7 cm, which shows its great power.
