Chapter 657: Heavy Thunderstorm Twenty-one
"Click......"
The sound of machine gun fire reached Brandt's ears, and the anti-war Nazi German soldier was startled, and quickly picked up the MKB42 automatic carbine, skillfully pulled the bolt, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the road ahead - although he was anti-war, he did not believe that the Soviet Red Army had come to liberate Poland.

In 1939, the Soviets and Germany joined forces to partition Poland for the fourth time, and the German militarists also talked about decency, first forming a republican alliance, and then slowly trying to annex it. The Soviets, on their part, did not want any decency at all, and directly annexed all the Polish lands on the east bank of the Bug River! And that's not even counting the fact that the Soviet Union swallowed right-bank Ukraine in one gulp, displacing millions of Ukrainian refugees......
"Willy (Brandt's comrades call him that), don't panic, the gunfire is far away." Brandt's squad leader, a man named Adolf. Miller's brawny man said to him in a mocking tone, "This is the Soviet Red Army shooting the Poles, and they are killing a group of people every time they occupy a Polish city." What priests, aristocrats, capitalists, landlords, kulaks, Social Democrats, reactionary officers, etc., in Ukraine they did the same, slaughtered at least a million people, and now it is the turn of the Poles to be unlucky. ”
Brandt knew that what Sergeant Miller said was not the truth, and as a Social Democrat, he knew the Soviet Bolshevili better. They generally do not kill people, but reform people and take them to Siberia for labor. They are not arresting people indiscriminately, this is planned, usually 10%-15%, and there is also an indicator of rehabilitation and restoration of reputation. Often, it is only a small group of particularly unlucky people who are shot.
Moreover, it is unlikely that the men who shot the unarmed Polish reactionaries were Soviet Red Army fighters, and that the Cheka fighters of the Polish Bolshevik Party were responsible for such a thing.
Political Commissar Oktyabliski withdrew his gaze from the pile of corpses of Polish reactionaries lying on the ground, Brandt did not guess correctly this time, it was the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army who started to kill, and the order to kill was given by Commissar Oktyabrichki.
And the one who gave the commissar Oktyabrisky the "authorization to kill" was the commissar of the Western Front, Ponomarenko. Since the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, after entering White Poland, was constantly attacked by Polish partisans and SS agents disguised as civilians (SS Polish volunteers), the political commissar of the Front, Ponomarenko, signed on 6 June an order to intensify the suppression of reactionaries in Poland. At the same time, specific targets for killing were also issued, and all Polish towns that resisted liberation were to be executed according to the standard of no more than 1% of the total population, and hostages were taken according to the standard of no more than 10% of the total population!
The current Soviet Red Army is the Red Army of the Stalin era, not the Red Army that later became soft-hearted. The Red Army fighters who wanted to use guerrilla warfare against Stalin, not to mention these Poles who were afraid of death, not even the KB elements in the mountains of Afghanistan. Now they have been killed, and there are more than 100,000 guys who look more KB (just look like it, the Cheka fighters know how to meet, just look at their faces) have been arrested and sent to labor reform, and now they are building railways and roads under the supervision of Red Army soldiers to build socialist Afghanistan.
"Comrade division commander, are the commandos ready?" Political Commissar Oktyabrisky asked the commander of the 205th Division, Major General Ruoludev, beside him.
He, of course, was not interfering in command, and although there were many commissars who liked to meddle in the military, Oktyabrisky was not such a person. But he liked to speak in front of the Red Army soldiers and then listen to them chant "Ula! ”。
About 2,000 commandos, all of whom had been selected from the various divisions of the 205th Division, were now in order, waiting for Oktyablisky to give a pre-battle speech.
They were all veterans who had been in the army for more than 2 years, and half of them were members of the Bolshevik Party or the Youth League. Pavlov was among them. They were to launch the first exploratory assault on the Warsaw Forest in order to ascertain the general disposition of the German army. According to the words of the mobilized political work cadres: This is the first shot fired at the liberation of Warsaw, and it is an incomparably glorious task!
Political Commissar Oktyabrysky strode up to the commandos in full gear and exclaimed in an enthusiastic tone: "Revolutionary workers' fighters! Please turn your gaze to the West. In the West decided the fate of the world revolution, advancing through the corpses of White Poland and imperialist Germany paving the way to cause the conflagration of the world revolution! On the bayonet, we will bring eternal peace and happiness to the working masses of the world. Towards the West! Go for a decisive battle and for a great victory! Ulla! ”
Pavlov and his comrades-in-arms were all enthusiastic, raising their arms and shouting: "Ula! Ulla! Ulla! ”
……
"The Bolsheviks are coming!"
"Sudden Sudden ......"
Brandt, an anti-war man of the 111th German Infantry Division, carried an MKB42 automatic carbine, and ran down a potholed road with a lot of anti-tank mines, shouting as he ran, and from time to time he half-turned around and fired several shots at the pursuing Soviet soldiers behind him with the automatic carbine in his hand.
This anti-war element was unlucky today, as he left his position with his squad leader, Miller, and a few other "superhuman soldiers" to carry out patrol duties in the evening, as it was approaching dark.
But when I didn't expect to walk to the edge of the woods, I was confronted by the Red Army, which was black and oppressive. "Superman Miller" knew that it was not an opponent, and casually fired a shuttle of bullets (not to kill, but to warn), and then gave the order to retreat, and several people rushed along the road. But Brandt ran slowly and fell last, while the pursuing Red Army soldiers ran as fast as they could, and gradually caught up. And from time to time, when he fired a shot with a Mosin-Nagant rifle, the bullets flew past Brandt's ear, so frightened that the hairs of the "anti-war activists" were about to stand on end, and they had to grit their teeth and return fire with the automatic carbine in their hands.
I don't know if it's because of the good luck or the training level of the German army is really high, and Brandt's continuous "short point shots" are actually quite accurate. At a distance of more than 300 meters, two or three Soviet Red Army soldiers were successively knocked down, and the remaining Red Army soldiers also chased slowly, and finally let Brandt escape with his life and return to the position from which he had started. He had just jumped into the trench, and before he could catch his breath, he heard his boss Miller shout.
"Willy, good marksmanship, put down three!"
"Three?" Brandt gasped and was stunned, he wasn't that cruel, was he?
"That's right, it's three!" Miller laughed and said, "I saw it with my own eyes." ”
It turned out that Sergeant Miller was running and found that Brandt was missing, and he knew that Brandt was running slowly, so he wanted to go and answer it, but he didn't expect to see Brandt using the MKB42 automatic carbine to show off his might, and put down three Red Army soldiers armed with Mosin-Nagant rifles in a row.
"Don't be stunned, get ready to fight!" Sergeant Miller patted Brandt, who was a little dazed, hard, "You will be a good soldier for His Majesty the Emperor, and maybe you can even get an Iron Cross." ”
"Latte Cross?" Brandt really couldn't imagine himself as an anti-war activist who received a medal for killing too many people on the battlefield.
However, he did not have much time to reflect on his actions, because the Red Army soldiers were not deterred by the fact that they had killed or wounded three people. Instead, under the urging of the commander of the 205th Division, Major General Ruoludev, they pursued all the way. According to Major General Joludev's plan, his men were to find out the German front and strength in the Warsaw Forest through fire reconnaissance, and then establish a front corresponding to the German army. This front is the starting line for the next attack.
"Tell your comrades to be careful when attacking, the Nazis have a submachine gun that can shoot from a distance!" Major General Joludev was a little depressed and gave an order to the fighters.
Although the Red Army had an advantage in the number of tanks and artillery, it was far inferior to the Germans in infantry weapons. The firearms used by the infantry of the Red Army today are mainly the old M1910 heavy machine gun, the Dzhegalev DP-27 light machine gun with a large plate on its back, the Mosin-Nagant rifle, which is older than the M1910 heavy machine gun, and the PPSH-41 submachine gun, which has just been equipped with the troops.
However, none of these guns could compare with the German submachine guns, which had an effective range of 300-500 meters. As a result, the Soviet infantry suffered a big loss when it came to hand-to-hand encounters with the enemy, their PPSH-41 submachine guns often couldn't reach their opponents, and the rate of fire of the Mosin-Nagant rifles was so slow that the enemy could suppress four or five Mosin-Nagant with one "long-range submachine gun". As for the machine guns...... It's okay to fight positional battles, but it's not convenient to exchange fire on the move.
……
"Commander, report of the 406th Regiment of the 111th Division, the guard positions they deployed in the Warsaw forest and the Russians exchanged fire."
The commander of the German 6th Army, Colonel-General Moder, received news of the exchange of fire in the "Warsaw Forest" during dinner on June 9.
"Started?" Moder put down his glass, and then spoke to his chief of staff, Altu. Major General Schmidt glanced at each other.
"Is there a situation in the cordon positions of the 407th and 408th regiments?" Major General Schmidt asked.
The guard positions on the outskirts of Warsaw were the responsibility of the 3 infantry members of the 111th Infantry Division, and the strength of the 3 regiments stretched out a front of more than 80 kilometers, which was quite loose. The middle road, that is, the direction of the Warsaw Forest, is defended by the woods, and the left and right flanks are by the Vistula River. Both Moder and Schmidt believed that the Soviets would use their superiority in strength to outflank the Germans in order to lengthen the front. (To be continued.) )
