Chapter 1509: After the Bombardment

Among the German three-way armies, the Northern Route Army was the weakest, and their main force was the 4th Panzer Army, with less than 3,000 tanks, which was less than half of the Middle Route Army.

At the same time, those advanced Tiger tanks are equipped with a fairly small number of troops in the Northern Route Corps, most of them are Panther 3 tanks, after all, this is the largest tank in Germany, and the cross-country performance is also quite good.

If it weren't for the blocking of rivers, they would have advanced into Moscow a long time ago, and now, they still have the advantage, and in the three-way army, they are only more than a hundred kilometers away from Moscow.

As long as Kalinin is laid, Moscow is in front of you!

The battle for Kalinin has been fought for three days, they are encroaching on the positions of the Soviets little by little, although it is difficult to advance, but the final victory is definitely theirs, and now, they can see the city of Kalinin.

After the shelling, the tank units will set off again.

At the front, the commander of the 6th Armored Battalion of the 47th Armored Division, Heinz von Westhagen, was sitting in front of the tank, leaning his back against the turret, holding the barrel in one arm and a stick of grass in the other, holding it in his mouth and chewing it.

"I heard that after Kalinin is defeated, we may not attack Moscow directly." Beside him, gunner Brant said.

At this time, the distant artillery was still rumbling, and the artillery cover would continue for ten minutes, which was their shortest rest before the attack.

"What? You think you're the first to storm Moscow? Westhagen said, "Who wouldn't? However, we have to obey orders, we have to look at the big picture, we are not going to be the first to storm Moscow, we are going to surround the Moscow defenders, eat them, and even capture Stalin alive. ”

As the battalion commander, Westhagen, a soldier from the old Junker family, was very far-sighted, and he carried out the orders of his superiors unconditionally.

The Central Route Army took Belarus and created brilliant records, and the Southern Route Army took Ukraine, and even ate the defenders of Kiev with the reinforcement of the Central Route Army, creating a brilliant record of encircling and annihilating more than 700,000 Soviet troops.

What about the Northern Route Army? It can be said that from the beginning of the war to the present, there are almost no bright spots.

Rushing through the three Baltic countries in one go, it was because these three countries were too weak and not of the same grade at all, and when they met Petersburg, they did not make a move, and the Air Force directly wiped Petersburg off the face of the earth.

Later, they stumbled all the way to the bottom of Moscow, and if they wanted to win glory for the Northern Route Army, they should be the first to rush into Moscow.

However, they have to consider the overall situation, and it is more important for the Northern Route Army to go around to the back of Moscow.

The sun was shining on the tank, the steel tank, there was actually a trace of warmth, which made people extremely comfortable, and the smoke of gunpowder in the distance was blown by the wind, and finally, the sound of artillery stopped.

"Attention, two minutes to prepare, and then march to the enemy's positions!"

The laziness just now disappeared without a trace, and everyone excitedly got into the tanks, one after another, and started with a bang.

The tracks are slowly shaking, crushing the black soil of Russia, moving forward!

As soon as the cannon is over, you have to go up!

Aiken was only 1.55 meters, and in the narrow trenches, he was quite neat, and the wide American uniform did not become a burden to him, he had already tied his trousers, stepped on his military boots, and ran in a gust of wind.

In his hand, he was carrying a cylindrical object.

Along the way, people kept casting strange glances.

After the German bombardment was over, one by one the defending soldiers got up, shook the dust off their bodies, shook their heads vigorously, and their ears were buzzing, and they could not hear anything clearly.

A figure shook in front of him, and a person ran by like a gust of wind.

"Who?" Constant questions were asked.

"Friendly reinforcements."

Although some people were answering, but the language was not understood, and their ears were still roaring, and they could not hear what the other party said, just like that, one by one, reinforcements got through the trenches and went all the way to the front of the position.

Many of the trenches were blown up, the space was larger, and some were blocked, and they had to rush out of the trenches, bypassing this section, and then jumping into the trenches in front, and in this way, they left the front of the position and advanced another hundred meters.

This was the area of firefighting, and the smoke of the shelling had not yet cleared, so the people on the other side did not see clearly, and Aiken skillfully got into a shell crater before stopping.

He gasped a few times, and then began to install the bazooka he had brought, Bazooka.

"Hey, Carl, come on." He poked his head out of the crater and shouted behind him, "You broken English pig's head." ”

Then, the guy he called Pig's Head crawled in, he was carrying five M6 rockets on his back, tired and panting, and still didn't forget to argue with Aiken: "You brainless, won't you carry one yourself?" ”

"Nonsense, the division of labor in combat is like this, who made you inaccurate in training, only to be my deputy?"

"If it weren't for the battlefield, I would have wanted to beat you." Karl cursed as he began to reload Aiken.

This is not a contradiction between the two, but a contradiction for the entire army.

The 442nd Infantry Regiment, of course, is not monolithic, and like any other unit, there are internal contradictions, such as the southern and northern soldiers of our country, and the urban soldiers and the rural soldiers, all of which have very deep contradictions.

And in the 442nd regiment, it was also divided into two factions.

Japanese Americans are widely distributed in the United States, and those who later acquired American citizenship mainly settled in Hawaii, while those who first acquired American citizenship and have already bred in the United States are mainly in the continental United States.

In this way, they were divided into a faction from Hawaii, and the "II" from the continental United States as a faction, the II called the "pig's head who spoke broken English" because their pronunciation still had the tone of the island bird's language, which was difficult to change, and the "II" from Hawaii replied that the "II" was "brainless", because they came from Hawaii and felt that they had more advantages in doing business, while the mainland had stupid brains.

In this way, the two factions fought in the camp for this reason.

Aiken is from the mainland, and he can't look down on Carl alive or dead, although the two are a combat group, they have usually fought several fights.

Now, the two are still fighting, Carl still stuffed the M6 rocket into Aiken, and then said: "You hit on time, don't waste it, I don't want to die without results." ”
