In the trench, a German soldier is loading his STG-44 assault rifle with a G43 semi-automatic rifle by his side, helping to keep an eye on his surroundings.

At their feet, the bodies of several German soldiers lay and many more Soviet soldiers.

The trench has been fought over several times, and now it belongs to the German soldiers who have just taken it.

"Phew!" Without the slightest hesitation, the German soldier with the G43 semi-automatic rifle aimed into the distance, pulled the rifle in his hand, and a bullet hit the barrel, and then a beautiful iron cartridge case fell at his feet.

The bullet flew over a short distance and pierced the chest of the Soviet soldier opposite, who stopped running, mixed his feet together, screamed and fell to the ground with his knees slightly bent.

Soon the poor man's breathing stopped, and blood stained the dirt at the bottom of the trench. The battle for Sevastopol, everywhere smells of bitterness and blood.

After the naval bombardment stopped, the German infantry approached the fortress, and the battle for Crimea reached its most tense juncture.

Every mountain bag had to be fought countless times, and the Soviet soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but they still relied on the underground fortifications that had been destroyed for most of them, and did not easily lose their positions to the German soldiers.

The German soldier with an STG-44 assault rifle reloaded the magazine, held his assault rifle and aimed the muzzle in the direction of the Soviet soldier rushing in the distance.

Over there, the Soviet soldiers, who had just been defeated, were running backwards, and they were turning their backs on the German side.

Then, without the slightest pity, he also began to shoot, one by one, knocking the Soviet soldiers who were running back to the ground. It's like shooting a target during training, it's a very relaxing job!

"What about support? What about the rest of us? Why can't they come back yet? The grenadier, kneeling on one knee with a G43 rifle, asked his comrades who were firing loudly.

The soldier with the STG-44 assault rifle over there didn't answer, but kept firing, firing more bullets in the direction of the Soviets over there.

"Suddenly! Dodo! "The STG-44 assault rifle has a fairly fast rate of fire because it does not require frequent reloading.

Experienced veterans can shoot fairly accurately and continuously with this rifle. Now this weapon is very popular among the soldiers of the army, and everyone wants to be equipped with more of these weapons.

The G43 is a replacement, on the one hand it can replace some of the roles of the STG-44 assault rifle, and on the other hand it can replace some of the functions of the Mauser 98K rifle.

And when these two weapons are used together, the power is quite huge - they are almost the template for infantry light weapons on the battlefield in the next 50 years, and they are quite advanced equipment models.

These two weapons, together with the infantry squad support fire MG-42 machine gun, have now been designed to be stable and perfect, conducive to mass production.

Although the shooting accuracy has decreased slightly, the reliability of these weapons has steadily improved. This weapon is now a favorite of all soldiers, including those who have gone to great lengths to capture it.

Bullets rained down, and the routed Soviets fell one after the other between the two armies.

They were shot in the body, then fell on the road with a series of screams, and then were trampled on by their companions who followed them, and finally could no longer make a sound.

As they continued to fire, more German soldiers entered their trenches, very close to the ridge in the distance, and very close to Sevastopol.

In the underground bunker, through the gap in the machine-gun firing port, Vasilevsky looked at the Soviet soldier who fell not far in front of his eyes with a blank face, and did not say a word.

These soldiers, who had been routed from the forward positions, could only retreat back in the most risky way because of the destruction of the tunnels, only to die in the hundreds of them on the way to retreat.

German bombardment and artillery bombardment caused most of the fortifications to collapse, and although the core underground buildings were unharmed, some of the outer positions had to be abandoned.

Coupled with the destruction of the artillery batteries on the ground, the combat capability of the entire fortress is actually very small......

Even the famous triple 305 mm rotating turret on that Gorky fortress was directly hit by a 381 mm shell and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The Germans were less than 5 kilometers away from the heart of the fortress of Sevastopol.

Not to mention the artillery behind the German army, even some small-caliber artillery can already attack the high ground of that core.

It's a pity that the famous turret there has become a pile of scrap metal, and it's not worth wasting ammunition to attack.

What bothered the Germans now was not the famous large-caliber turrets and concealed batteries, but the countless concealed machine-gun firing points.

The Soviets adopted a new tactic, they did not open fire easily, and waited until the Germans approached to suddenly attack. These machine-gun bunkers, hidden in the mountains, are very threatening most of the time.

When the fortress was designed, the bunkers were horned into each other to form crossfire, enough to block a fairly large area.

After countless shellings, some of the firing points have been destroyed by the artillery, and some of the firing points are still intact - whether a certain firing point is still usable or has been abandoned by the Soviets, and can only rely on the soldiers' lives to test it.

In order to reduce their own casualties, the German army advanced very slowly and very carefully, but this still could not effectively reduce casualties, after all, this fortress is "the world's first fortress".

In the rear of the battle line, one of the generals of the German army put down the binoculars in his hand, then looked at his chief of staff and issued an order to continue the attack: "Let the artillery continue to fire!" Cover the infantry and move on! ”

"Yes, General!" The chief of staff walked to the walkie-talkie, picked up the earpiece and said, "I want the regimental headquarters of the artillery regiment...... I am Spike, the order of the general, to continue the shelling...... Destroy as many hidden machine gun bunkers as possible! ”

With this order, the two French railway guns on the German position once again let out their own roar.

Army Group D, commanded by Field Marshal Bock, was the oldest and most motley of several army groups, both of which were 320 mm heavy guns captured by the Germans from the French army during the French campaign.
