The convoy sped all the way south, and arrived at the destination link bridge in ten minutes.

In fact, the Germans always had the opportunity to intercept the Soviet troops.

The Volyn Fortress was originally a residential area, but because of the war, the Soviet army had to be constantly expanded......

This can be said to be the need for the evolution of the war:

During the Cold Weapon period, only a fortress such as a central fortress was sufficient, and a moat was dug around it, and there were basically no troops that could break it.

With the advent of thermal weapons, cannons can easily shoot cannonballs into the central fortress, so the fortress needs to be expanded outwards so that the range of the cannon is not enough to threaten the central fortress.

This was useful at first, as the old guns had a limited range and the expansion of the fort could serve the purpose.

However, as the range of the artillery became longer and longer, and bombers appeared to calmly drop bombs on the central fortress, no amount of expansion could stop the enemy from bombing.

As a result, most fortresses went through the process of being fortified, expanded outwards, and then abandoned as a troop rallying point.

The Volyn Fortress, located directly south, is the result of the expansion of the Brest Fortress and is characterized by a dense and diverse number of buildings.

This meant that the Germans only needed to set up a few machine guns in the buildings on both sides of the street, and it was possible to block the defenseless Soviet convoy in the middle of the road.

The problem was that the Germans at this time did not know at all about the Soviet troops who were driving these cars...... They thought that the Holm Rope Bridge was still under the control of the Germans, and that the cars were German, so of course they were Germans.

This allowed the Soviet convoy to cross the entire Volyn fortress without danger until the convoy reached the bridgehead connecting the bridge.

"Comrade Major!" The signal corpsman, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reported to Major Gavrilov, who was in the rear compartment: "The Germans have a sentry post on the connecting bridge, as well as machine-gun emplacements!" ”

Major Gavrilov gave the order without thinking about it: "Rush over!" ”

Of course, they had to rush over, these checkpoints were used to check documents, and the Soviet soldiers did not even change their uniforms and helmets, so it was impossible to get past the Germans' inspection.

"Yes!" The signal soldier answered, turned his head and conveyed the order to the driver: "Speed up and rush over!" ”

As he spoke, the signal soldier drew out his submachine gun...... It was an MP40 submachine gun captured from the Germans.

Although the Soviets also had submachine guns, they had very little equipment at this time, and the driver's space was narrow and not suitable for using long guns, so in a hurry, they were equipped with MP40s captured from warehouses.

The driver said "um", but did not accelerate according to the order, not only did not accelerate but also had a tendency to slow down.

The Signal Soldier looked at the driver suspiciously, but he quickly understood what the driver meant and remained quiet.

The driver did the right thing, at this time the Germans were at a great distance from the convoy, and premature acceleration would only arouse the suspicion of the Germans and prepare them for battle in advance.

It's another matter if the driver slows down...... The Germans could not see the Soviet troops in the car at all under the illumination of the headlights, that is, they could not detect the abnormality, so the car could approach the enemy as close as possible.

As the driver thought, the German soldiers relaxed their vigilance when they saw the convoy slowing down, and a German soldier walked out of the sentry box, waved a flashlight at the convoy a few times to signal stop, and his movements were relaxed and casual, and he even had a cigarette in his mouth and a rifle on his back. Another German flipped through his notebook to see if there was any report from the convoy.

At that moment, the driver slammed on the accelerator and let out a beastly roar, and the car rushed forward at full speed.

Before the German soldier could even figure out what was going on, he yelled at the car, but soon he realized that he was wrong, because a submachine gun had been extended from the passenger seat, and then after a burst of gunshots, the German soldier immediately collapsed in a pool of blood.

When the other German soldiers heard the gunshots, they realized that something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed their rifles from their backs or pounced on the machine-gun positions......

But it was too late to react.

With a "snap", the car broke the crossbar blocking the bridge and rushed onto the connecting bridge, revealing a bunch of muzzles on the rear compartment.

"Bang bang ......" After a burst of gunfire, the German troops guarding the bridgehead fell in pieces, and occasionally threw a few smoke-emitting grenades from the car, blowing up the German army in all directions looking for cover.

Shulka was in fifth place in the car, so when he saw the battlefield, most of the corpses remained.

However, Shulka found his target, and a German soldier lying on the ground pulled a grenade on fire...... Originally, he could have escaped with just lying on his stomach, because the fast-moving cars of the Soviet army could not distinguish which people were alive and which were dead.

But the fire of the grenade exposed him.

Shulka didn't think much about it, pulled the trigger and fired the bullets from the submachine gun into the big position, until all the remaining twenty rounds of ammunition in the drum were empty.

This is one of the reasons why Shulka does not like to use submachine guns, it relies more on the surface of the bullet, that is, more bullets to increase the probability of hitting the target, which has a lot of luck component.

Shulka doesn't always like to rely on luck and wants to be in control of his own destiny, although this is not realistic on the battlefield.

This time, though, Shulka hit the target, because the grenade exploded in a German trench instead of blowing up a car in the middle of the road.

A similar battle soon took place on the other side of the bridge.

Although the gunfire on this side of the bridge had already warned the Germans on the other side, the length of the bridge was only more than 100 meters, and it only took a few seconds for the car to rush to the opposite bank at full speed.

At this point, the German soldiers on the other end only had time to turn around and grab their rifles, and they didn't even dare to shoot when they saw a car rushing towards the bridge with its headlights on...... Because they don't know if the car is an enemy or a fleeing man of their own.

So, the gunshots rang out again, and grenades rained down on the side of the road along the inertia of the car.

Only one of these cars had a problem...... Perhaps the driver was hit by a stray bullet, and the car did not grasp its direction and rushed directly to the trench built by the German sandbags on the side of the road, unable to move.

Without saying a word, the surviving Soviet soldiers jumped out of the car and got into a fight with the Germans.

Major Gavrilov shouted an order: "Keep going, keep going......"

This order was correct, and the Soviet army was alone, and there were only more than 500 people left in the whole army.

On the other hand, the German army, which is good at "blitzkrieg", reacts quickly, and once it stops fighting, it is very likely that it will be entangled by the German army and will never be able to leave.

Therefore, they can only leave behind those lone warriors.
