Six hundred and eighty-six. The Land of Life Part II
The Germans are racing against time, the Soviets are racing against time, and everyone is racing at this time.
Now, the situation of the medium assault group looks somewhat difficult, and their positions can be broken through at any time and at any time. Every minute and every second, the Russians could storm the position.
Every soldier who could move was trying his best, and they used all the favorable conditions to block the enemy's advance.
Even Ernst. Marshal Bream has already appeared at the forefront, and who can't be a warrior?
Life in the Land of Life is still blooming, and the whistling cannonballs and flying bullets cannot stop the tenacious continuation of life.
This is something that belongs to Ernst. Bram – Baron Alexon's War; This is a war for the whole of Germany!
Determination and willpower will be most perfectly reflected here, and each and every one of them is ready to dedicate himself to his cause.
Let life be continued here, and let miracles be created here......
Even after many years of this battle, there are still people who talk about it, discussing how the battle broke out in advance, and who showed the better in this battle.
They also discussed how the war would have ended if it was the genius Vasilevsky who directly commanded the battle at the front, and not Voroshilov, who could only do it?
Most people think that Baron Alexson and Vasilevsky are two genius generals, and their collision will burst into brilliant sparks. At the beginning of the battle. The Skeleton Baron seized the initiative in the war and disrupted Vasilevsky's overall deployment, but at this time. Vasilevsky did not panic at all, but in a passive situation, he led the German army all the way into the encirclement, so that the German assault cluster fell into a situation of annihilation.
But Baron Skeleton's performance was just as breathtaking...... When the entire assault group was facing a crisis, he did not panic at all, and carried out a resolute assault while conducting a counter-encirclement operation.
And at this time. Serious problems arose within the Soviet army. Voroshilov replaced Vasilevsky in command at the front, and everything that had been in order was disrupted.
This is only a discussion for later generations, and at this time. No one knows what will happen to the Dao......
Wang Weiyi, who has been fighting on the front line, can't control his own fate, and he can't predict whether a bullet will go through his head......
From the beginning of today to the present, the enemy has made more than a dozen charges. And the intensity of the charge was more than one time at a time. Several times the enemy rushed all the way under his nose. The Germans here had a great deal of effort to drive the Russians out of the city.
Wang Weiyi definitely didn't know how long he could hold out here, and the news from the Ike battle group, Guo Yunfeng battle group, and the Viking division was mostly similar, and under the frantic offensive of the Soviet army, all positions were in danger of collapsing.
Moreover, the ammunition of the medium assault group is being rapidly depleted, and although the Luftwaffe is still stubbornly airdropping positions, under the current conditions, relying on the air can no longer solve the problem.
But who cares about any difficulties? Judging by the intelligence from the outside. The fastest Skeleton Division of the assault had already exchanged fire with Voroshilov's rearguard troops. It may be that they will arrive here soon, and in this case, the mission of the Medium Assault Cluster has actually been successfully completed so far......
All they have to do now is to hold on as much as possible and kill as many enemies as possible.
Ike, Guo Yunfeng, and Gillette made a decision at this time, and all the troops that could not continue to hold their positions would send a message to Ernst. Marshal Braem moved in the direction.
Their purpose is very clear, even if there is only the last person left on the battlefield, they must protect Baron Ernst!
The burning earth silently watched the human beings fight on their bodies without the slightest sympathy. She was grieving, she was crying. But there was nothing she could do.
War is always an eternal theme that accompanies mankind......
Voroshilov, desperate, constantly invested his troops on the battlefield, the Germans used every strength to defend, and the Russians also used every strength to attack!
No one wants to accept defeat, no ......
The soldiers of the German and Soviet armies burned their lives here. They watched life drift away from them, as souls flew through the air, until the last breath of life left them.
Survivors never remember what happened here, they don't want to look back on this terrible history, they don't want to remember what they have experienced here.
Forgetting is actually the greatest responsibility for yourself.
Forgetting can minimize the pain for the rest of your life......
The sound of fierce artillery fire sounded so weak at this time, and even the artillery might feel tired from the battle so far that it was going on.
Wang Weiyi was also exhausted, from offense to defense, he participated in all battles, and he was always on the front line.
He's tired, really tired, but he has to hold on...... Everyone can fall, but he can't, for the Germans, he is all hope, all confidence......
However, he could also see that the Russians were also tired, and the continuous attack had not only caused them heavy casualties, but also consumed their physical strength and energy.
They're just a bunch of people......
And the German soldiers around him were as tired as Field Marshal Ernst, and even if there was a few seconds between the battle, they would seize the opportunity to close their eyes for a while.
But as soon as the shots rang out, the seemingly sleeping soldiers jumped up like springs, picked up their weapons and entered the position again......
They have long since become a bunch of robots...... No soul, no mind. Some are just fighting—fighting—never going on and on......
Until the end of the war...... A live bullet pierces his body......
"Marshal, it may not last long." When the new Russian offensive began, Mylistre said, "Damn reinforcements haven't arrived yet?" ”
"I don't know. You'll have to ask Modell. The muzzle of the gun in Wang Weiyi's hand was spewing tongues of fire, and then he said briskly.
In fact, you don't need to ask to know that Moder and the Germans on the outside are more anxious than them, and they are trying their best to launch an attack at this time, trying to get along with Ernst as soon as possible. Marshal Bram completes the rendezvous.
Wang Weiyi was surprised to find that there was no shouting when there were guns and cannons on the battlefield at this time, and even the sound of "Ula" that had been accompanying them for so many days had all disappeared.
Tired. All the people are tired......
The exhausted soldiers fought exhaustively, completely oblivious to their fears, and what they hoped for most was that this cursed war would end sooner.
Victory or defeat doesn't matter to them anymore.
Combing the artillery fire of the position. It doesn't stop for a moment. Flying dirt and gravel hit people and hurt and hurt.
After the shelling, the soldiers buried in the dirt would crawl out with all their might, and then grab any weapon they could grab. It's a random shot at the enemy.
Hordes of soldiers died on this terrible battlefield. Some of them were directly hit by the shells, and even the bones could not be left......
Their families are waiting for their return, but I'm afraid their families are going to be disappointed......
Parents have lost their children, wives have lost their husbands, and children have lost their fathers. Families have been shattered by this war.
This is a cursed war......
During the day, it was as dark as at night, but at night it was as bright as day. The officers and soldiers on the battlefield could not distinguish the difference between day and night, and there was only one thing they could do:
Combat - Move from a battle that has just ended to another battle......
On the first day of the battle, the devout believers begged God for his blessing. But as the war progressed, they stopped praying. I just hope that I won't be tortured too much in hell.
This is their last request.
The battlefield was so brutal that the smell of blood was all sent in the wind......
At this point, both sides have exhausted all the means at their disposal, and even the commanders of both sides can't wait for this battle to end quickly.
Another day passed...... During the day, the Germans had lost most of their positions, and now all the troops were forced to put up the last resistance in very small positions.
They killed and wounded countless enemies, and each soldier killed several times, tens, or even dozens of times more enemies than them...... But no matter how many enemies they killed, they could not stop the new attack of the Soviet army, and for the German army, the Russians were too much.
It's surprising how many.
The results of the German assault group were already very exciting, and Wittmann alone had already achieved an astonishing record of destroying 46 enemy tanks and 21 self-propelled guns after the start of the battle.
The first ace tanker is none other than him.
But what's the use of annihilating more? The Russians still have such a huge amount of armor.
The huge advantage in quantity can sometimes indeed prevail over the quality ......
I guess I won't be able to hold out tomorrow...... Now every German officer and soldier has such a thought in their hearts......
Ike, Guo Yunfeng and Gillette, even in the gap between the battle, quietly concealed that Field Marshal Ernst held a brief meeting, their purpose was very clear, once the positions were all lost, then a strong assault team must be organized to cover Field Marshal Ernst's protrusion!
Everyone here can die, but only Marshal Ernst cannot.
He is the whole hope of Germany......
Klingenberg was entrusted with this honorable task. Even after he accepted the mission, he and his squad directly stopped participating in the battle, but were ready for the worst-case scenario at any time.
"You have learned of the Word. The marshal is not a man who will leave the battlefield so easily. Klingenberg raised his concerns: "What if he refuses our protection? ”
Guo Yunfeng was silent for a moment: "Knock him out!" ”
Klingenberg was taken aback and knocked him unconscious? Do you want to knock out a marshal of an empire?
"Stun him!" General Ike also said firmly: "This is the only way to get the marshal off the battlefield......"
Okay, okay. You guys...... Klingenberg muttered in his heart, if he really did that, even if the baron did not shoot him, he was afraid that the Führer would not spare him easily.
But as long as the baron can be rescued, nothing else can be cared about......
When the war resumed, everyone on the battlefield knew that on this day. The two armies strangled together will be divided between the winners and losers.
It is already difficult for the medium assault group to hold out, and they now rely on a strong will to fight.
But when the will to fight is finally exhausted, especially when all the troops are lost. There is no such thing as a will to fight......
Despite this, the German assault groups had no reason to be proud of themselves, having killed and wounded dozens of times more than their own enemy when they were dozens of times outnumbered by them.
This is not something that every force can do.
Die well deserved. Death is also a vigorous death.
Right now. All tactics on the battlefield are useless, and it depends on who can continue to hold out until the last minute.
At the closest point to the enemy, more than two-thirds of the casualties of the troops under Wang Weiyi's command, especially the soldiers of the engineer battalion, who quickly regarded themselves as real commandos and fought the enemy tenaciously.
They suffered a lot of casualties, but they refused to retreat a single step......
And here they are, in addition to the skull baron with a miracle. Also with two miraculous tanks:
S21 and S22.
The fact that these two German tanks have fought so far unscathed is simply a miracle of miracles.
But their lives weren't easy. Just now, two tanks had fired the last shell.
Wittman, Brandt, and everyone in the tank jumped out of their beloved tank.
Wittmann picked up a submachine gun from the ground and said loudly: "Field Marshal Ernst, the S21 and S22 tanks are out of shells, and now, we ask to join the infantry battle sequence!" ”
"Second Lieutenant Weitmann, your request has been granted." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
"Marshal, I have a request."
"Please, Second Lieutenant Weitmann."
"If I die in battle, please grant me the rank of major, I would have dreamed of becoming a major...... Ah, isn't that a bit too much? I'm only a second lieutenant now......"
Wang Weiyi smiled so happily: "Yes, your request is indeed very excessive, but I approve it." If you can die here with honor, you will be an SS major! ”
"A shameless guy ......," Brant, who lost to Wittmann in the tank annihilation contest, couldn't help but mutter.
Mylistre walked over: "Second Lieutenant Weitman, you are a god-like existence in the tank, but now, I'm afraid you can't kill even ten enemies......"
"Really?" Wittman looked at each other defiantly.
"Into the position - into the position - the enemy attacked!"
With such a sound, perhaps the last battle on the F position began......
The surging Soviet army was still so numerous. But for all the German troops on the F position, it no longer mattered.
One way or another, they were with Marshal Ernst!
"Fritz. Klingenberg, if you're going to attack me, I'll shoot you. ”
When Wang Weiyi saw Klingenberg appear in the F position with his assault team, he immediately said coldly.
Klingenberg quickly stopped, his face a little embarrassed: "Hey, marshal, how do you know the way?" ”
Wang Weiyi looked at his embarrassed expression and smiled: "Every German soldier knows that he is holding his position, and you suddenly appeared here, probably because you were given some special order?" ”
"Yes, Marshal." Klingenberg got to this point and had nothing to hide: "The generals made me do it." ”
Wang Weiyi said with a voice as he strafed the enemies who rushed up one after another with the weapon in his hand: "Major Klingenberg, stay here and fight with me, please remember, I will not leave my soldiers behind." ”
"Well, I'm convinced by you." Klingenberg quickly joined the battle sequence: "At least, with me here, I can help you block the bullets fired at you!" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled, smiling very happily...... With such subordinates, what do you have to worry about?
On this day's offensive, the Russians showed such madness. A large number of artillery fire, a large number of tanks, and a large number of soldiers appeared like a tide, probably they have smelled some danger, right?
It is already difficult for the medium assault cluster to continue to hold on, and it is already a miracle in itself to hold on until now......
There are more and more enemies, they are getting closer and closer, and the moment has come.
Every German soldier was ready:
- Let yourself be brave enough to face death!
At this moment, suddenly, Mylistre pointed to the back of the enemy's ranks and shouted:
"Behold, something seems to be going on there!"
Wang Weiyi took the binoculars and looked at the rear of the Soviet army, thick smoke billowing and dust flying.
Then, countless tanks appeared!
And on those tanks, that's - the Skull Battle Flag!
On March 23, 1943, the Waffen-SS skeleton division appeared on the battlefield! (To be continued......)
