549 small village bloody battle

This time it can be said that the German army is relatively well prepared for an attack, and when Karyus was preparing to attack, dozens of Stuka had already flown over the target and began their destruction.

The fortifications deployed by the Soviet soldiers in the village were quickly destroyed, and the remaining soldiers did not have time to prepare before they discovered that the German ground offensive had begun.

After the tempering of the war, the cooperation of the German army can be said to be the most skillful state.

While the Air Force's Stuka was still killing ground targets, German tanks were already attacking.

The place where the air force dropped bombs was only 100 meters away from the forefront of the German attack.

By today's standards, or by the standards of U.S. Air Force support in the latter part of World War II, it doesn't seem like a great statistic.

But this inconspicuous statistic, placed in 1941, is really a very remarkable achievement.

Such terrible close coordination, in the eyes of the Soviet defenders, was exactly the same as a deadly battle.

The command was rigid, the system was stiff, and the Soviet Red Army, which had just undergone a purge and had not yet regained its strength, was unable to do so until 1945.

"The Germans are coming!" A Soviet soldier looked at the German tanks that had rushed over the fence not far away, and loudly reminded his companions.

But his shouts were drowned out by the sound of an aerial bomb dropped by Stuka exploding, and the machine-gun position behind him, which was responsible for covering him, was in ruins.

The Soviet soldier could only retreat backwards by bending over the wall, and the path he passed was littered with Soviet civilians and the corpses of Soviet soldiers.

"Don't go back! Get back to where you're stationed! "Comrade the political commissar of the Soviet Red Army, who was carrying a pistol, loudly urged his subordinates that this was his only job.

Earlier today, Comrade Khrushchev delivered a speech at the front that "all commanders and fighters must hold their positions to the end of their lives," demanding that every soldier not retreat.

With this order, the commissars of the Soviet Red Army at all levels became the overseers, responsible for supervising every soldier and preventing them from continuing to retreat.

"The enemy's tanks are coming! I'm here to report back to you! "As a veteran, this soldier who retreated from the front line had already thought of his words from the moment he turned around.

Sure enough, his words changed the impression of Comrade Commissar on him. Passing on information to one's comrades and turning around and running away are definitely two different concepts.

"You're doing well! I already know the news! Looking at the body of the company commander who was already cold not far from his feet, the political commissar nodded and agreed.

Then he pointed in the direction the soldier had come: "Go back now and stick to your post!" Destroy as many enemies as you can! ”

He didn't continue to say half of the words, and he probably didn't need to explain in detail in such an environment.

There is only one way to go back, and the only difference is whether or not you can kill a German soldier before you die.

"Sir! My position has already been occupied by the Germans! "Of course, this veteran is not willing to go back to die, if he wants to die, why should he risk coming back?

"Then you must go back too! Otherwise, I have the right to shoot you! "It doesn't look like this is the first time this comrade has done this kind of thing today, and the revolver in his hand looks very frighteningly waving.

As a result, before the veteran could continue to defend anything, a stray bullet flew over and opened a bloody hole in the commissar's forehead.

The junior Soviet officer fell straight down, and the stooping Soviet veteran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, holding his weapon and continuing to run behind.

He was going to the battalion headquarters to "deliver the news" and report on the arrival of German tanks. As for what he would encounter there, he himself did not know.

Here he ran back quickly, and only two houses away from him, a Soviet DP light machine gun, that is, the Deg Galev light machine gun, was firing fiercely.

The most striking feature of the DP light machine gun is that there is a huge cartridge tray on the top of the machine gun as a feeder, which looks very special.

This weapon is well known to domestic weapons enthusiasts because it was heavily equipped by New China and was widely used in the Korean War.

Unfortunately, the target of this powerful machine gun is now a Leopard tank that is rumbling forward.

The bullet hit the heavy armor steel plate of the Leopard tank, leaving only a few shallow craters.

However, the Soviet machine gun shooters continued to fire, as if they could destroy the Leopard tank in the next second.

Unfortunately, this kind of miracle that often appears in movies does not appear in reality, and the machine gun position is drowned in an explosion when a ball of flame erupts from the gun port of the Leopard tank.

Shrapnel flew across the bunker, and the Soviet soldiers behind the sandbags fell to the ground in all directions, blood splattered everywhere.

A Soviet soldier struggles to get up from the ground, only to find that one of his legs is missing.

In the pool of blood, he struggled to find a more comfortable position, but was pressed by another corpse and could not move.

Having lost most of his strength, he had to stop, gasping for breath to regain his strength, but he could feel that life was draining, and the pain was long gone.

"Help! Help me! He lay there, crying out loudly, trying to call his companions to help him.

But no one came, and it was as if he was the only one left in heaven and earth. It wasn't until the next second that he knew why.

The tank's tracks smashed through the already twisted sandbag bunker and ran over the already twisted DP light machine gun.

Then he saw the Leopard's wide tracks tumble forward and begin to run over where he was no longer conscious.

"It doesn't feel good." It was the last thought that crossed his mind, and then the tracks of the German tank covered his vision, and then only the boundless darkness remained.

A Soviet T-26 tank caught fire and smoked and burned at the corner of the street. This tank was just hit by a Stuka bomber and has long since become a pile of scrap metal.

On top of the burning scrap metal, the charred bodies of the crew of the tank could still be seen, and they were not able to leave, and they turned into dust along with their tanks.

The tank obscured Karyus's view, and he, who had already experienced a real war, instinctively sensed the danger at this crossroads.

"Slow down! Erich! Caljus held down the intercom and loudly alerted his driver. In areas where attacks could be attacked on all sides, he was not willing to take risks lightly.

Leopard 111 stopped next to the intersection after running over a destroyed machine-gun position of enemy troops.

As soon as the hull of the car came to a stop, Karjus lifted his cockpit canopy: "Tyr! Joseph! Cover me! ”

After shouting this, he got out of his turret and jumped out of his tank in the hail of bullets from Soviet soldiers.

This is something that countless German tank commanders did during World War II, and it didn't actually cause much fuss.

In the heat of battle, or before a fierce battle, the commander may get out of the car to reconnoitre, or lean out and brave the enemy's bullets to direct the battle.

After jumping out of the tank, Karjus leaned against one side of the half-collapsed wall. He even had only a pistol for self-defense, and he didn't pull it out and carry it in his hand.

The Soviets around here seem to have been cleaned up, or most of them are looking elsewhere. He let Karjus stick to the wall to the intersection and observed everything carefully.

There were two Soviet T-26 tanks on the left, but on the right it was safe, and there were no heavy weapons in sight.

Directly in front of the flaming tank wreckage was also safe, and there was also nothing that could threaten the Leopard tank.

Then, seeing all this, Karyus ran back to his tank and got back to his position in the face of enemy fire.

When he reached out and tried to snap on the hatch above his head, a bullet pierced his cuff and slammed into the hatch with a "ding" sound.

"Hell!" Frightened, Caljuus withdrew his hand, looked closely and found that he was not injured, before cursing with a trilled voice.

No one is not afraid of death, and being injured is not a good taste. However, under the stimulation of adrenaline, it is not surprising what kind of actions people make on the battlefield.

"There are two T-26 tanks on the left, the turret is 90 degrees, and the standing height is ready!" After fastening his hatch, Karyus commanded his gun commander Tyre.

With the turn of the motor, the heavy turret of the Leopard tank began to turn. Then the driver, Erich, once again let the tank move forward and rushed towards the intersection.

"Commander! You're brave! While loading armor-piercing bullets, the loader opened his mouth to compliment his commander.

Karjus did not hear his compliment clearly, for he was already engrossed in directing the battle.

The Leopard tank rushed to the crossroads, and the T-26 on the opposite side clearly had a first-mover advantage. Two shells rushed into the side armor of the Leopard tank, and then both crashed into the front of the turret of the Leopard tank.

Obviously, it was absolutely wishful thinking to expect the main gun of the T-26 tank to penetrate the shield on the front of the Leopard turret. So neither shell had an effect, and only startled the members of the Calyus crew.

Immediately afterwards, the 88 mm tank gun on top of the Leopard launched a powerful counterattack, knocking out the turret of a T-26 tank with one shot.

"Armor-piercing shells! Load! After the fire was fired, Gun Commander Tyre shouted sharply almost at the same moment.
