Nine hundred and fifty-one. Bloodstained positions
At this time, before the German counterattack began, the Wehrmacht 151st Regiment, which was basically composed of new recruits, was also caught up in a difficult battle under enemy attack.
The 151st Regiment was responsible for the northeasternmost part of the city of Berlin, the line of fire. We are at the forefront of resistance to the US military. To this end, their new division commander, Lieutenant General Lai Menghe, specially transported 6 "Predator" guns from the rear. Three of the gates were located in the rear of the 151 regiment.
At the same time, a small batch of "Moder" assault guns was obtained, and then the SS Skeleton Division transferred the 5th Panzergrenadier Regiment. Their regiment was reorganized into reinforced regiments, and they brought with them a company of "Destroyer 3", 15 "Destroyer 3" tanks, an anti-tank battalion, 9 anti-tank guns, and 16 "Moder" assault guns. That's all the armor they have at their disposal, and of course artillery is indispensable. On the outskirts of the position, they spent several days digging 3 anti-tank trenches and laying minefields on various roads. They were ordered to hold out for five days. And the U.S. military's order was intercepted and the translation learned:
Conquer German positions in 2 days,
At noon, the U.S. military finally arrived. Numerous heavy artillery shelled German positions for up to 3 hours. As a result of the advance arrangement and realization of the information obtained by the local personnel, the German troops were already in thick bunkers, and the casualties were not very large.
It was in this situation that the American troops, in a dense formation, advanced towards the Germans, with the infantry in front and the tanks and artillery in the rear, and the Americans received a wrong information at this time: there was only an infantry regiment of the German Eighth Army here, and the weapons were inferior. Morale is low and it collapses at the first touch. It was under these circumstances that the US military launched an attack so easily. I didn't know that there were already 16,000 German troops and nearly 1,000 people's national troops waiting here.
Chuck was an observer through the 6x telescope and saw that the U.S. forces were concentrating all their forces in the northeast direction, with the front row of infantry in a search formation. The tanks in the back were also loaded with infantry.
At this time, all the parties were in place, more than 200 assault rifles were all loaded, and the rest were also opened. Before the ammunition man carried boxes of grenades and iron fists to the sandbag-covered fortifications, the MG62 machine gun bullets in the iron box were pulled out and hung around the heavy's neck. Everyone was looking ahead, and the company commander himself was taking a sniper rifle and aiming seriously.
"Smack!" "Forward!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the American platoon rushed to the front. The German positions were as quiet as death.
"Chuck, knock that leader out!" Company Commander Marx. Milian threw his head back and shouted
The crosshairs slowly turned to him. He was running anxiously ahead, and he looked very uneasy
"Lord, He is my God and refuge. It's my tower and the liberator......" 300 meters away, and with a faint westerly wind, Chuck moved the crosshairs a small square. The U.S. troops had already rushed to a position less than 300 meters from the German position, and let out a killing cry that shook the ground and the mountains.
"Phew!" A gunshot rang out. Chuck could clearly see through the scope that the bullet had pierced through his steel helmet. The steel helmet was directly knocked into the air, and he fell to the ground and died.
"Fire!" More than 10 MG62 fans will be a group of 5 US troops
A group of 5 products swept from the flanks, the snipers in the front, 150 sniper infantry killed more than 90 enemies in the first round of fire, knocking down the enemy one by one, and Zerp climbed onto the roof of a civilian house in the rear, holding a telegraph:
"The whole battalion shoots the infantry at the front. Scale 75, 035 to the left. 1 shot in a row, high explosive, put! ”
Two 120-mm high-explosive bombs exploded in the crowd of charging US troops, only to see a cloud of blood mist rise suddenly
Zelp holding a rabbit ear viewing goggle,
"Ruler minus 5, all salvo! Put! ”
More than 10 shells flew towards the attacking troops, who had already suffered more than half of the casualties.
"Lord, you are my shield!"
"Phew!" An American soldier with an M16 was shot dead by Chuck.
"You are my strength, please help me"
A soldier with a grenade, ready to throw it at the front of the German army, was knocked down by a bullet at the moment when he was about to throw it, and the grenade had already been drawn. The grenade then blew up more than 10 of its own people around it.
"Phew! Bang! Bang! "Chuck shot after shot at the Americans, and he had forgotten that he was a sniper. When he ran out of 6 magazines, he realized that he had not shifted his position, but in the face of offensive battles, no one knew that the Sniper existed.
The first round of the American offensive ended in a burst of machine gunfire. More than 400 people in the first echelon of the US army were all killed, and none of them were spared. And the Germans miraculously did not suffer a single casualty.
In between battles, some people kept peeing and pooping, while others kept eating and chewing. A few beautiful German girls brought hot soup and bread to the German boys, all of them in their 20s, and everyone was itching when they saw the beautiful girls, and several of them tried to hold back a few witty words in an attempt to get close to them, which attracted bursts of laughter and whistles. When the officers saw this, they immediately rushed forward, drove the children back to their posts, and then went up to talk to them themselves.
Others climbed out of the fortifications despite the danger and ran to the piles of American corpses in search of trophies.
"Tanks! Attention, tanks! Chuck shouted, at this time nearly 20 M1 tanks lined up in a column to move towards the German army, this time the strength of the American army is more than 1,000 people, and it is estimated that there is a whole regiment.
"Everyone is in position, the infantry is ready to standby, the artillery is firing. The armored troops are driving away the frontal attacking American troops at full speed! Hansheimer's command vehicle gave such an order.
"Put!" Three "Moder" assault guns opened fire at the same time, and three M1s at a distance of 1,200 meters were destroyed on the spot, and the distant fire drew cheers from the German positions.
Seeing this, the rest of the M1s immediately opened up at full speed, regardless of the infantry themselves rushing first.
"Put!" There was another dull thud, and another M1 was wrecked.
At this time, the M1 also opened fire, and the shells flew towards the German positions more than 800 meters away. Several machine-gun points were dumbfounded. At the same time, the armored forces launched a pincer offensive from the east and north. The German anti-tank guns named the M1 one by one, while the "Destroyer 3" tank company played a game with the American M1, and the American artillery could not penetrate the heavy cement armor of the "Destroyer 3" tank at a distance of 1,000 meters. And the terrifying power of the "Destroyer 3" tank gun made the M1 defenseless. One shot turned the M1 into a train. After that, the M1 tried to attack at close range with high-speed performance, but paid the price of four destroyed vehicles. In this encounter, the Germans won a complete victory, only one "Destroyer 3" tank had its tracks broken and could not move and gave up, and the rest of the armored troops were unscathed. The American infantry fled back to the rear.
The U.S. military's infantry-tank coordinated operation also failed. On this day, the daytime offensive of the American army was a tragic failure. The Germans won a rare victory and their morale was greatly boosted. At one point, the division commander declared that the Germans could hold out for more than 1 month as long as they were well supplied.
But right now. The division commander received an order from the army group command: the west is besieged by American troops, continue reinforcements, and order all SS armored units and all armored vehicles under your command to go to the periphery of the positions on the Western Front. This would be tantamount to firing another shot at someone who had just formed a scar, but the Germans could only do that. There are no more armored units. There are no more "Destroyer 3" tanks. Nothing is gone. They can only hope that the US military will not dare to attack rashly.
At 11 o'clock that night, Chuck lurked on the bell tower of a church in the suburbs that had not been blown up, which was the commanding height of the whole position, with a 360-degree view, he looked at the dim starlight, and thought of his distant parents, his sister, and his family.
An SS soldier who recognized the battle climbed to the bell tower. Handed Chuck a lunch box of potato beef stew and bread and patted him on the shoulder: "We're evacuating." There's really no way. The SS said guiltily: "You are actually letting you fight a pack of ......wolves with a tiger with bare teeth."
"There's no way, we can only obey" Chuck shook his head......
"Take care, I'll invite you to drink after the battle," he said, handing over a bottle ......of beer, and making two enamel cups like a trick, a bottle of beer was so easily solved.
The German soldiers of the 151st Regiment paid the highest tribute to these Panzers who helped them through their difficulties, without them. These soldiers would have died on the ground long ago, and without them these soldiers would have been swept away by the torrent of American M1s, and then run over by tracks.
It was so dark that night that I couldn't see my hands. A young German sentry stood guard on the south side of the town.
"What people! Stand still! The soldier saw a dark figure running out of a civilian house.
"Phew!" The sentry raised his gun and fired.
The dark shadow disappeared into the horizon at breakneck speed, and he rushed out of position.
Chuck was on top of the tower, and he had been watching the dark shadow with a telescope since the sentry finished shouting. Obviously he is an enemy, obviously a spy or a traitor.
"Report!" Chuck knocked on the door of the battalion commander's barracks, and Hansheimer was already asleep. It was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.
"Battalion commander, there is a situation." Chuck shouted.
This woke Hansheimer up, and he immediately softened his eyes and asked what was going on in a daze.
"There was a guy in the city who broke the curfew and rushed out of the city...... Chuck said solemnly.
"Ahh......h
"But why didn't he come back and go in the direction of the American army?" Chuck said as he stared at him.
At this point, Hemmer finally had an idea.
"What do you mean?"
"That's right! That's what I mean......"
"Immediately order the whole group to assemble, and then act according to Plan B"
"Yes!"
Hansheimer then informed the division commander, who then ordered the whole division to quit smoking and prepare for battle......
......
Three hours later, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the city. More and more and louder sounds.
One of the commando regiments of the American army reached a point 800 meters outside the position, and the leading officer took a telescope and looked at the position without any defense. So with a wave of his hand, thousands of commandos rushed out. But it was still so quiet.
"Lord, you are my sword, you are my shield, you teach me how to fight!"
The crosshairs were aimed at the officer who had just stormed the inner city......
"Phew!" The officer's head was shot in the head by his bullet. Brain splatters. At the same time, dozens of MG62s swept towards the American army from all directions, and hundreds of grenades fell from the sky. And hundreds of kilograms of explosives around them also went off together. The night attack of the American army was detected by the Germans, but they planned to bring them in, closed the door and beat the dogs, and the rest of the 1st Battalion rushed out from all directions, with all the firepower, sweeping the American troops like dancers dancing in a strong wind. This regiment was annihilated by our German troops. The whole process lasted 40 minutes. The ground was littered with the corpses of American soldiers.
The U.S. troops finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched a group attack, and under the cover of countless artillery, the U.S. troops began the last attack.
"Everyone is ready to fight. The 151 regiment was responsible for the northeast and suppressed the enemy's tanks, the 138 regiment was responsible for the south, and the artillery regiments were all dispersed into the gaps of the various regiments. Drain all shells. The 83rd Reconnaissance Brigade was responsible for guarding all the commanding heights and arranging machine guns, and the 95th Anti-Tank Brigade was divided into two parts, one was directly south of the 151st Regiment handle, and the rest was responsible for supporting the south of the 138th Regiment. "The division commander gave the order, and they could only fight the trapped beasts at this time, and drag the American troops as much as possible.
Another shelling lasted 1 hour. By this time, the position had already undergone 15 large-scale shelling of the city, and Chuck's tower had long since collapsed
Facing 3 times more enemy troops. The new order given to Chuck by the regiment commander was no longer to strike at the enemy officers, but now it was to shoot the enemy as much as possible, whether it was an officer or a general. Chuck had only 150 rounds of ammunition in his hand, plus an MP submachine gun, 5 grenades, a pistol, and a sapper shovel.
"Forward !!" The enemy launched a charge on the scale of a regiment and soon rushed under the cover of the M1 tank!
"Put!" The "Moder" assault gun sprayed angry shells, and the three M1s were destroyed at a distance of 1,200 meters at the beginning, but the fact is that the Germans had less than 20 shells left, and the dense M1s were advancing at high speed
Assault guns fired at the U.S. M1 one after another.
At this time, the US military abandoned the tactics of focusing on breakthroughs in the past and switched to an all-out attack. Rushing from all directions, the 138th Regiment's defensive line was first torn apart by the enemy's M1, and soon the 138th Regiment retreated to various buildings that were already in ruins. While using the commanding heights to suppress the enemy's infantry with MG62, they kept throwing Molotov cocktails, thus destroying nearly 12 tanks, but the American troops tried to surround the 151st Regiment from behind, which was resisting in the southeast, regardless of casualties.
Chuck had forgotten all the sniping essentials by this point, I just aimed, crosshaired, pulled the trigger, and an infantryman was killed. Aim, reticle, pull the trigger, another reticle, aim, pull the trigger, all 150 rifle rounds were used up in less than 2 hours.
American troops were coming from behind, and the defense line of the 151 regiment was also crumbling. The Germans all retreated into the building.
After Chuck's ammunition was replenished, the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, and the artillery were all mixed together. And then I suddenly remembered a person——- Zelp.
"Do you see Zelp? Is it an observer of the artillery regiment? ”
"Nope!"
"Do you see Zelp? Is it an observer of the artillery regiment? ”
"What?"
"Zelp!"
"Didn't you see, wasn't he behind us?! Is it in the division directly under the team?! ”
Everyone was desperately resisting, the U.S. infantry rushed into the houses in waves, and then were blocked by the fire net composed of dozens of MPs at the door, the U.S. troops charged in the second wave, and the limbs blown up by 5 grenades flew sideways, and Chuck even found an enemy hand with a ring at my feet.
Chuck continued to run higher and the Americans continued to sweep the Germans inside the building, but all failed.
Then the artillery of the American army arrived,...... Cannonballs poured out wildly...... It was only 1 minute from Chuck's retreat.
Chuck jumped from one building to another, the enemy troops downstairs were shooting at me frantically, Chuck was not an invulnerable god of war, a bullet got into his boot, he suddenly fell on the rubble of the ruins, at this moment, an American soldier who had just rushed upstairs saw a German soldier falling, and threw it at him with the butt of his gun, Chuck took out his pistol in a hurry, "Bah! Bang! Bang! The American soldier was punched three holes by him, and he used all the strength of his body to choke Chuck's neck, and made the most vicious expression he had ever seen in his life, and died. Chuck lay on the ground in shock and gasped for breath, and then several soldiers from his direct team came, and when they saw him fall to the ground, two men helped him to the rear defense area of the German army.
At this point, everyone understands that it can't be held. They must break through!
The 138th Regiment had been disabled by the American army, a small part of the rout had retreated to the southwest, and the 3rd Battalion of the 151st Regiment was all killed after being surrounded by the American army. The surviving soldiers and officers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions were with Chuck, and the divisional direct teams had held the eastern front where they were now located.
Chuck's foot was hit in a tendon by a ricocheting bullet according to the law, and was taken out by the ambulance soldiers with pliers, sprinkled with ammonia powder, and the bandage was knotted, and it was all right, but at this time his foot could no longer walk, but they had to retreat in the face of such a situation.
At 1 o'clock in the evening, they forced their way through the American line of defense, breaking through from the south, for which of course 150 lives were paid. When they broke through the encirclement, they found that there were only 600 people. Of course, there are many troops who have been out of the battle sequence, but no one expected it to be so sad.
But this brutal battle has only just begun! (To be continued......)
