In the middle of the city of Pustoska, next to the cement bridge connecting the east and west banks of the Agron River, in a gray two-story building with only half of the roof left, Captain Nietzsche stood with a telescope by the window facing the east bank, holding a telescope to monitor the situation on the east bank.

On the bridge under his feet, groups of paratroopers carrying all kinds of small arms, dragging recoilless guns, carrying mortars, rushed across the bridge, and the bridge with heavy leather boots clanged and dusted.

"A little faster, the Russians have caught up, starting with a fast tank, a BT-5."

Captain Nietzsche leaned out of the window, waved his arms, and shouted to Captain Nobel, who was busy with his men at the bridge.

Captain Nobel shouted without raising his head: "I'm ready, don't rush." ”

Under the leadership of Captain Nobel, four orderlies worked in pairs to secure two Goliath remote-controlled tanks on either side of the bridgehead, and then retreated deeper into the city while releasing the wires.

At this time, Captain Nietzsche's curses reached the ears of Captain Nobel.

"That scoundrel, I'm going to kill it with my own hands, and then the tankmen who pulled it out will be hanged one by one."

Captain Nietzsche saw the fastest and most ferocious BT-5 fast tank, which used a machine gun to knock down a paratrooper who had fallen behind the line.

There was no avoidance, no stopping, and the tracks of the BT-5 tank mercilessly ran over the body of the paratrooper crawling on the ground, crushing the paratrooper in two. The blood splattered between the two corpses and the colorful internal organs stung Captain Nietzsche deeply.

Enraged, Captain Nietzsche ran downstairs and jumped onto the armored car on standby on the street behind the building.

On the orders of Captain Nietzsche, the armored car quickly reversed and retreated straight behind a pile of broken masonry fifty meters away, revealing only the PAK40 anti-tank gun on the roof.

The glowing blue muzzle of the cannon was facing the bridgehead, a carefully selected ambush site for Captain Nietzsche.

On both sides of the street not far ahead. Captain Nobel and a soldier on the left and right, each holding a remote control, hid at the edge of the building, staring at the bridge without blinking.

In the surrounding buildings, whether it is the window of the attic or the entrance to the basement. And in the shadows of the bushes, everywhere were soldiers of the Imperial Division's Führer Regiment in yellow-brown and green camouflage uniforms.

On the bridge, the paratroopers appeared less and less frequently, until the last two paratroopers crossed the bridge side by side, and the stone bridge instantly became empty.

The figures of the two paratroopers had just disappeared into the complex, and across the bridge, a BT-5 tank turned around a wooden house, dragging black smoke and dust from the back of the vehicle, and rushed straight towards the bridge.

Captain Nobel's finger pressed on the detonation button. Captain Nietzsche's right hand also touched the pull cord of the PAK40 anti-tank gun.

The BT-5 fast tank didn't know that it was already surrounded by wolves in front of it, and countless eyes with green light were staring at it, still rushing up the bridge at lightning speed, rushing towards the opposite bank like a gust of wind.

The Germans had already been routed on all fronts, and nothing could stop their advance.

With optimism, the tankmen of the BT-5 fast tank, maneuvering the tank, rushed across the bridge without hesitation.

The moment the BT-5 fast tank arrived at the bridgehead, Captain Nobel shouted.

"Detonation"

"Rumbling ・・・・・・" loudly. Gray-white smoke shrouded the bridgehead.

In the marshmallow-like soot, the BT-5 fast tank has a small green body. It flew out of the bridge at a height of more than half a meter above the ground, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Under the influence of strong inertia, the tank glided about twenty meters away from the ground, stopping motionless in the middle of the street.

After a moment's hesitation, Captain Nietzsche let go of his right hand gripping the drawstring and jumped out of the armored car. Running on brisk to the BT-5 tank.

Captain Nietzsche, along with other SS soldiers, pried open the turret hatch of the tank with a sapper shovel, and three bloodied and dazed Soviet tankers were dragged out of the tank one by one.

Captain Nietzsche grabbed the driver by the collar and pushed him to the side of the road.

The driver stumbled under his feet. Fell limply to the ground.

Captain Nietzsche, without the slightest mercy for the weakened driver, raised his big foot in leather boots and kicked heavily on the driver's face with the heavy soles.

After a few kicks, Captain Nietzsche was still angry, raised his foot again, and kicked the driver in the stomach hard.

Under the severe pain, the driver curled up in a ball holding his stomach, and his body shrunk into a humanoid prawn.

"Villain, pig, I'll kill you right now." Captain Nietzsche cursed loudly while violently until he was dragged aside by Captain Nobel and an orderly with his arms in arms.

"You can't do that, it's illegal to beat a prisoner of war, and if someone tells you about it, you'll be court-martialed." Captain Nobel admonished.

"You don't see how this scoundrel treats our people. He drove the tank and just ran over our wounded. That paratrooper, from here," Captain Nietzsche cried out, pointing to his waist, "from here he was crushed in two, and I saw with my own eyes that this scoundrel did it." ”

Captain Nobel looked at the Soviet driver, who was lying motionless on the ground in disgust, seemingly dead, and hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.

Pointing behind him, Captain Nietzsche shouted, "Did you see that?" This is the style of our Party Guard, and if you want to complain to the gendarmerie, just complain. Even if it is a court-martial, I will kill this villain. ”

Captain Nobel looked back and saw two other Soviet tankmen behind him, being punched and kicked by SS soldiers, and two soldiers grabbed semi-automatic rifles and smashed them in the head with the butts of their rifles.

The faces of the two Soviet tankmen were swollen with pigs' heads, stained with red and purple blood, and they looked miserable.

It was so brutal, so brutal that Captain Nobel rushed forward, pushed away the violent SS soldiers, and shouted at them: "Enough of you, stop." The Soviets are about to arrive and return to your combat posts. ”

Seeing that Captain Nobel was an officer, the SS soldiers had to suppress their dissatisfaction and turned away one after another.

Captain Nobel waved two orderlies and asked them to carry the three seriously wounded Soviet tankmen to the side of the road.

"You go find a car and take them to a field hospital. Let the doctor treat their wounds and send them to the prisoner of war camp. ”

Captain Nobel explained the plan for disposing of prisoners of war to the orderlies, but saw the eyes of the two orderlies bypassing him and staring directly behind him.

The shock and horror in the eyes of the two orderlies told Captain Nobel that something terrible must have happened behind him.

Turning his head, Captain Nobel saw Captain Nietzsche fighting next to the three prisoners of war. Raising the pistol in his hand, he "bang, bang" three gunshots in a row, and cleanly shot three Soviet tankmen in the head.

"You, I must go to your precedence and accuse you." Captain Nobel pointed to Nietzsche and said in a trembling voice.

"Go to your Excellency the Governor and accuse me, I am willing to take responsibility for what I have done, and I will not hold a grudge against you." Captain Nietzsche raised his chin and said disappreciatively.

"You・・・・・・ you really make me ・・・・・・",

Captain Nobel was speechless by Captain Nietzsche's indifferent expression, so he had to wave his hand and summon two orderlies.

"You use that armored car. Drag the three corpses to the rear, find a secluded place and throw them away, and remember not to let people see them. Captain Nobel whispered to the two orderlies.

The two orderlies quickly grasped Captain Nobel's intentions and busied themselves to destroy the corpse.

Captain Nobel pulled Captain Nietzsche to the corner of the road.

"You'd better assure me that this is the only time a captive has been slaughtered in front of me."

Captain Nietzsche glanced down at Captain Nobel's forefinger raised in front of his eyes, silently pushed it away, and then said earnestly: "I promise you that I will not do such a thing again, unless I am confronted with a villain like that just now." ”

"And. The Russians are coming, it's time for us to go to battle. Stop wasting time on such small things. Captain Nietzsche said.

Captain Nobel heard the characteristic fire of the MG42 machine gun in the street, indicating that the main forces of the Soviets were already close to the Agron River, and the real decisive battle had been staged.

"Let's go, let's go kill the Russians on the other side of the river, the anger in my heart has not yet been vented." Captain Nietzsche said.

"Wait a minute, I don't think we can leave for a while." Captain Nobel said.

"Why?" Captain Nietzsche asked, puzzled.

"Look behind you." Captain Nobel said.

Captain Nietzsche looked behind him. He saw an SDKFZ251 armored car driving towards him.

On the front of the car, it was Major Bach who beckoned to him.

How did they get here?

Captain Nobel and Captain Nietzsche invariably drew a question mark in their hearts.

"What's going on? Where did these three bodies come from? ”

The armored car stopped on the side of the road, and after greeting the two men, Major Bach asked, pointing to the corpses that the orderly was moving.

"They were the tankmen of the BT-5 tank in front, and the tank itself ran into our encirclement. Surrounded by us, the three of them committed suicide not wanting to be captured, and they went to send the bodies to the rear to be buried. ”

In the face of Major Bach's questioning, Captain Nobel preemptively spoke.

Major Bach glanced suspiciously at the miserable faces of the three corpses, was silent for a few seconds under the worried gazes of Captain Nobel and Captain Nietzsche, and said lightly: "The faces of the corpses show signs of being beaten, did you do it?" Beating a corpse・・・・・・ even the corpse of an enemy, is a very immoral act. This is the only time, not an example. ”

Seeing that Major Bach was confused, the two hurriedly diverted the topic.

Captain Nobel asked, "The Russians have reached the banks of the Agron River, and it is dangerous here, what are you doing here?" ”

Major Bach said: "We have just received a telegram from the rear from your Excellency, and he has given us a new mission, and we have come to carry out the mission. ”

"What task? Is it to scare the enemy to death with those megaphones? Captain Nietzsche asked.

Captain Nietzsche was referring to the roof of the cab of the armored car, the three loudspeakers that Major Lorenz was fiddling with.

"According to what the Excellency said in the newspaper, what we and the Excellency around us have to do is to boost the morale of the front-line soldiers and brush up their presence by the way, but the most important thing is to pull hatred and stimulate the Russians fiercely."

While Major Bach explained, Captain Nobel and Captain Nietzsche saw that there were already three more war correspondents next to the armored car.

Two war correspondents set up cameras next to armoured vehicles, and another war correspondent held a Leica camera.

The camera and the lens of the Leica camera, all aimed at the front of the armored vehicle, focused on the famous Polish governor.

Chen Dao stood upright in the armored car, holding a microphone in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Soldiers, I am the Governor of Poland and Lieutenant General of the German Army, Heinz von Rosen, and I am standing behind you now.

Soldiers, years of war have taken you all over Europe, destroying millions of enemy troops. Now, having won an insignificant victory in front of us, the enemy naively thinks that we can be defeated.

I would say that they made a mistake, and it was a big mistake. Go, wash your war bodies with the blood of the Russians! Don't let the Russians go any further.

There are always many countries that will perish in this war, but it will never be our Germany that will perish, and the Germanic chariot will never be defeated! I'm with you, the Führer is with you, Heil Hitler (Hi, Hitler). ”

Chen Dao's brief declaration of war, flown out at the sound of three loudspeakers, echoed through the buildings, and reached the ears of every SS soldier, not even the deafening sound of gunfire.

A moment later, Captain Nietzsche and Captain Nobel, with their sensitive hearing that had been tested in the battlefield for a long time, faintly heard a faint shout from the battlefield ahead.

“HeilHitler”

“HeilHitler”

“HeilHitler”

Major Bach pointed to the battlefield ahead and asked Captain Nobel and Nietzsche, "Did you hear that?" ”

The two nodded their heads to acknowledge that they had heard.

"There is a proverb in European military circles that as soon as Napoleon entered the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of French soldiers doubled. I thought it was a lie made up by the French to promote Napoleon, but when I heard the shouts of the SS soldiers, I began to believe that it was true. Major Bach said.

"Even if the Führer is not on the battlefield, we can double our combat effectiveness, and the Führer has surpassed Napoleon, because by the Führer's side, there is the presence of that Excellency." Captain Nietzsche said.

Major Bach agreed with Captain Nietzsche's statement, nodded and said: "Even if your Excellency and the Führer are not on the battlefield, they can still double the combat effectiveness of our soldiers." And I'm convinced that we, as German soldiers, will do great things that far surpass Napoleon's feat under their leadership. (To be continued.) )
