"It's snowing!"

"Yes! It's snowing! ”

When the night sky was mixed with fog and snowflakes, the places that were not covered with snow were also gradually changing half dry and half wet, and in this case, the commander of the SS Führer Grenadier Regiment, Colonel Otto Coombe, and the commander of the 2nd Grenadier Battalion, Studley, looked up at the snowflakes that were slowly falling on them.

In front of them, a mine-sweeping platoon and a tank destroyer company were carrying tanks, testing for Soviet ambushes in the front section.

Because just now they also had a short fierce battle with the anti-tank units of the Soviet army, losing several armored vehicles and some soldiers.

Of course, the Soviet troops who attacked them were also annihilated by more than half of them, and only then were the remaining Soviet troops escaped.

After the German Fourth Air Force repelled the Soviet Air Forces coming to the east of Kharkov and the north, it carried out large-scale carpet-type intensive bombardment of the Soviet army units, especially the Soviet tank units and mechanized units.

Therefore, many Soviet tank groups were bombed by the German B-52 bombers and Il-28 jet bomber groups and suffered heavy losses.

"Fortunately, our winter military uniform has been worn early in the morning, otherwise it would have been miserable!"

"I'm going to freeze to death, or I'm going to get frostbitten!"

After looking at the snowflakes for a while, the battalion commander Stadley smiled slightly.

"That's right! The Führer's precautions are really correct, or we will repeat the previous mistakes, and on time we will freeze to death and injure hundreds of thousands of troops in the east! ”

The regimental commander, Colonel Otto Coombe, recalled, sentimentally.

"There's a canyon ahead, should we go there?"

"Or wait for our follow-up troops to come and join us before entering?"

The battalion commander, Studley, nodded lightly in response.

"There aren't a lot of trees there, so let's go explore it! Anyway, we still have 8 tanks now, and our weapons and equipment are all the latest ones given to us by the Führer! ”

"But we can cover that canyon with a round of artillery fire first, and see if there are people and movement inside!"

The regimental commander, Colonel Otto Coombe, nodded in agreement.

"Hmmm! I agree with the commander's suggestion, and I will immediately go and give you an order to get our artillery and mortar teams ready to bombard the canyon in front of us and test whether there are any Soviet ambushes inside! ”

The battalion commander Stadley immediately agreed.

Then he, with the consent of the regimental commander, Colonel Otto Coombe, immediately hurried over to give the order for the shelling.

Soon, a series of ferocious artillery fire covered the wooded canyon, rumbling and deafening.

After rounds of artillery bombardment, there was no movement of the Soviet army in the entire canyon, or after the counterattack; The regimental commander, Colonel Otto Coombe, immediately dispersed his troops into the gorge.

However, along the way, they did not see any trace of the Soviet army, let alone a sudden attack by the Soviet army.

So soon, the SS Führer's Grenadier Regiment, which had mechanized capabilities, went out of the gorge in tanks, armored vehicles and transport convoys to the plains outside.

And in front of them, the first thing that catches their eyes is a village shrouded in darkness.

"Let's hurry up and go to the village in front of us! Maybe those Soviet troops are there! ”

When the SS Führer Grenadier Regiment had passed through a sparsely wooded ravine, the commander of the 2nd Grenadier Battalion, Studley, no longer stared at the snowflakes in the night sky, but shifted his gaze to a village in front of the canyon.

I saw that there was no light there, lifeless, silent.

"Don't go right away, I feel like there will be Soviet troops ambushed here, my instincts have always been accurate!"

After hearing this, the regimental commander, Colonel Otto Coombe, stopped him.

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"

As soon as the words fell, the numerous machine-gun fire points densely packed by the Soviet troops on the outskirts of the village immediately swept towards the regimental commander, Colonel Otto Coombe, and the SS Führer's grenadier regiment under his command.

"Not good! It's a surprise attack of the Soviet army, dodge and counterattack! ”

"Knock out their machine-gun fire for me right away!"

Seeing this, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Otto Coombe, who reacted quickly, immediately gave a loud order to counterattack to the officers and men of the SS Führer's Grenadier Regiment.

At this moment, the SS Führer's grenadier regiment, which encountered a sudden attack, immediately organized a dodge and counterattack.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

Soon the German T-54 tank group immediately launched a retaliatory heavy artillery bombardment, bombarding those Soviet machine-gun fire strongholds.
