Chapter 306: Wild Wolf (13)

The Germans took the weapons and ammunition carried by the border guards, tore off the uniforms and the unit insignia from the military caps, and took the soldiers' cards of all of them.

They piled the bodies of the Soviets on a wagon, poured a small barrel of gasoline, and Sergeant Krent stuffed a Polish-made white phosphorus grenade into the pile.

Werewolves don't leave evidence for the Soviets, and the most effective way to deal with them is to burn the corpses, and the smoke can also attract the attention of the surrounding troops, making it easier for their squad to fish in troubled waters.

The DP machine gun was mounted on the canopy of the cab, and the Maxim was placed at the rear of the car, with the muzzle facing the rear of the car.

The SS soldiers tore off the tarpaulin of the carriage that had been torn in the raid, but no one felt the coldness of the air, and the blood boiled in their veins from the killing, and these soldiers began to yearn for the next battle, and they clenched their cold and hard weapons, and their eyes widened with a bloodthirsty red light.

Shrouded in red flames and white smoke, the Stahl Truck resembles a monster unleashed from hell. Carrying the werewolves who have tasted the taste of blood, they rush to the next cruel battlefield.

"It's a gift for the Russians." Corporal William. Wagle said to his companion with a smile.

The SS non-commissioned officer held a cloud of snow in both hands and carefully concealed it on the brown-painted MLE1939-type infantry jumping mine.

The Type 1939 anti-infantry jumping mine is a terrible weapon, but how terrible is it? Let's put it this way, the French were inspired to make it by the German-developed S-Ray.

With the spirit that you have and what I must have, the French did not hesitate to make this kind of anti-infantry jumping mine, but because this mine was finalized too late, and by the time the Western Front began, the French army was equipped with a total of several hundred, and it is conceivable that this number could not play much role in the vast Western Front battlefield.

The Germans found some Type 1939 jumping mines in the French armory that had not even been wiped off the butter, and the French design was not backward at that time, on the contrary, there were many bright spots in it, which gave the German designers considerable inspiration.

The main body of the mine was a round metal canister covered with the warhead of a Brandt Model 1935 60 mm mortar shell, under which was a propellant chamber filled with black powder as propellant, and a U-shaped metal tube was connected to the bottom of the chamber, and the other end of the metal tube was followed by a pressure and tripping fuse.

When the fuse is triggered by the enemy soldiers, the fuse in the U-shaped metal tube is ignited, and then the black powder at the bottom of the mine is ignited, and finally the mortar shell is fired out of the metal canister, and the flare in the warhead can ensure that the warhead detonates at a height of 0.5 meters to 2 meters, and splashes a steel storm of death on the surrounding enemy infantry.

At present, because of cost reasons, the French Ministry of Defense has canceled the order signed by the French Army, and the production plant began to imitate the German S-type jump mine, and the German side also generously provided a full set of drawings and production licenses free of charge.

The Werewolf Battalion was armed with a large number of French and Polish weapons to conceal their true identity during the operation, so they also acquired a batch of Type 1939 mines.

Himmler was never stingy with his own people, not to mention the SS special forces, who were highly anticipated by Himmler, who basically stuffed everything good into it.

"Alright, blow up that pile of garbage." Lieutenant Max pointed to the Soviet bunker at the edge of the woods.

The Western Special Military District is preparing to build a fortified line near the border with the Brest Fortress as the core.

However, at the same time as the new five-year plan in the Soviet Union was formulated, a large number of infrastructure projects were launched one after another, not to mention the hard labor prisoners in Gulagri, and even Polish prisoners of war were transferred to Russia to build railways.

It can be said that there is a shortage of personnel everywhere in the entire Soviet Union, and the task pressure of the Western Special Military District is also very great, and it is impossible to draw more engineering troops at all, and the result is that the progress of the border fortification project is very slow.

Border guards can now only build separate small machine-gun bunkers at traffic junctions near the border and around woodlands, and connect them to each other as much as possible.

Historically, until the outbreak of the war on the Eastern Front, this defense line was not completed, mainly because the location of the fortress was in the wilderness, and the transportation was very inconvenient, which added a lot of difficulty to both the transportation of materials and the construction. Especially after the winter, all construction stopped, just like the bunker that Max's subordinates were about to blow up, in fact, only a layer of cement shell was poured.

Most of the Soviet fortification designs originated from France, and even the construction methods were almost the same, preferring to use reinforced concrete prefabricated slabs to assemble structures, and the destruction of such pillboxes was a test of the skill of the sappers.

The werewolves used plastic explosives, which were standard for British special forces.

Now this beige plasticine with an almond flavor is the latest generation of products, that is, the C2 plastic explosive developed in 1942, because of the wave of a butterfly's wings, it was "invented" by a certain head of state two years in advance.

Because the key patents are in the hands of related companies in the United Kingdom and the United States, Xu Jun simply handed over the production of this new type of explosive to the British military, and the scope of use of this explosive in the future is very wide, and the manufacturer can definitely make a lot of money.

"The targets in the order have all been destroyed, according to the plan we should retreat immediately, and it will be dark in another hour." Ensign Cole suggested.

"Well, from this woods is the road to the shore, you take the remains of the wounded and fallen comrades to withdraw first, and I will take a squad to cover behind." Lieutenant Max folded the military map and pointed to the woods on the west side to give the order.

"The reaction of the Soviets was strange, don't you think so? Lieutenant. "Ludwich. Sergeant Wolf walked over to the lieutenant and said.

This SS soldier, who is more than two meters tall, has a kind and honest face, and is usually a well-known good man in the company, and it is almost impossible to see him and people when he is red-faced, of course, his intimidating body type is also an important reason.

"Tell me about your findings, Wolf." Lieutenant Max raised his eyes and smiled at the sergeant.

"Their troops are very scattered among each other, and they don't seem to have a unified command, just like the border guard patrol just now, and they are not even ready for battle." Wolf reports his findings.

"There was such a big fuss on our side, the Soviets shouldn't have reacted like this." Wolf turned his head apprehensively to look at the road to the south, and then he turned back and continued: "These troops may have deliberately set up a decoy to paralyze us in this way...".

"If you were a Soviet commander, how would you command the troops."

"I will request that a reconnaissance plane be dispatched to reconnoiter the entire border area, and at the same time a reconnaissance detachment carrying a radio station will be dispatched to restore contact with the front-line posts, and after the location and number of enemy troops are ascertained, I will mobilize mobile troops in my hands according to the situation to surround and annihilate the small number of invading enemy troops." Wolf replied aloud.

"So do you see the reconnaissance plane now? Sergeant. ”

"Nope."

"What about the reconnaissance team with the radio?"

"No, these people didn't even bring a field phone with them."

"What does that mean?"

"The commander of the Soviet army was a layman?" Sergeant Wolf hesitated to make his judgment.

"Do you think that's possible? Wolf. The lieutenant looked at his subordinates with a smirk.

"I don't think it's likely, sir." Wolf shook his head vigorously.

"Maybe the commander didn't even understand what's going on here, Sergeant." Max shoved his scarf into his collar, then pointed to the south and said, "In that direction, there are 8,000 Soviet soldiers, but we have only encountered 37 in all."

Wolf took off his Soviet-style steel helmet and scratched his head, feeling that his train of thought was confused by Max.

"Why, exactly? Lieutenant"

"If I could know, I wouldn't be standing here with you, Sergeant." With his hands behind his back, Max watched as Second Lieutenant Cole rallied his troops.

"Will the Russians be ready to encircle the entire region?" The sergeant asked.

"There's a possibility you said, so we're going to sneak back now." Max raised his right hand, and Sergeant Wolf hurriedly bent down so that his boss could reach his shoulder.

"We're going to have a fight, Wolf. I can assure you that it will be a big war that will leave you jaw-dropping. Patting Wolf on the shoulder, the lieutenant said confidently.
