Four hundred and thirty-eight. Lightning breakout
"What's your name? Class? ”
"Soldier Sovelsky."
"Soldier Sovelsky, can you tell me how many Germans you killed?" Little asked a question like this.
"Do you say that it started with the war, or did you just mean this one battle?"
"Both."
"In this battle, I killed three Germans, one of whom was an officer, and if I killed all the Germans combined, I think there would be about twenty people."
"You're such a sharpshooter." Even in a hostile position, Little couldn't help but exclaim: "I think if you don't get caught by me this time, you will kill more Germans." ”
"I think so, Captain."
"I should send you to a prisoner of war camp, but the current conditions don't allow me to do so." Little sighed, "I think I'll kill you, do you have anything to ask for before you die?" Soldier Sovelsky. ”
Sovelsky thought for a moment: "Can you give me a cigarette?" ”
Little found a cigarette and gave it to him, Sovelski took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke: "I have one more small request, I hope I can kill myself, I don't want to die at the hands of the Germans." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work, soldier Sovelsky." Little replied regretfully, "I can't give you weapons, and I can't risk the lives of my own soldiers." But I will kill you myself. I am a German officer, and the execution of your execution by my own hands is the greatest respect I can have for you. ”
Sovelski smiled: "Maybe, maybe I should thank you." ”
He finished his last puff of cigarette. Then he calmly said, "Please do it, Captain." ”
Little pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Sovelski's head: "I'm sorry. Soldier Sovelsky, if it weren't for the war, I think we would have become friends. Shooting prisoners is a very dishonorable thing, and when the war is over, I will repent of it."
"Thank you, Captain." Sovelski smiled slightly.
Then the shots rang out.
Look at the corpse on the ground. Little sighed regretfully. To be honest, he really didn't want to do something as immoral as shooting prisoners, but now it's war. He had no other choice.
"Soldiers, prepare for a new attack!"
Before leaving the position, Little took another look at the corpse on the ground.
The current war is no longer the war that ended in 1918. At that time. Unless special. Prisoners are not usually shot, but on this battlefield, whether the Germans are captured or the Soviets are captured, if the battle is still raging, it is generally difficult for the prisoners to have a chance of survival.
So like Ernst. The story of Marshal Bramm's release of a large number of prisoners and wounded has forever become a gentleman's legend that no one can do again
"Field Marshal Ernst, welcome!" Ludwig respectfully saluted Field Marshal Ernst, who had rushed to the battlefield: "At the time you have specified." We captured two-thirds of the second line of Soviet defense and are now preparing to attack the enemy's core positions. ”
"Are our casualties heavy?" Wang Weiyi asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The casualties are not significant. The main trouble caused came from the ubiquitous cold guns of the Russians. Ludwig said frankly: "This is a great headache for us, and the Russians seem to be obsessed with this." On the contrary, on the frontal battlefield, the Russians are mainly made up of new recruits and pose no real threat to us. ”
It seems that even Wang Weiyi can't solve this problem in a short time. And in the future, they will encounter more Russian snipers.
Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "Transfer a group of snipers from China to use snipers against snipers." ”
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Wang Weiyi suddenly remembered that there are many very famous snipers in Germany, all of whom have made great achievements, especially in the Soviet-German battlefield, and the example of snipers against snipers has become a major attraction in the war.
It's a pity that he can't remember a name now, so he will have to ask Xiao Ling well
He took the telescope and looked at the Soviet position on the opposite side: "Ludwig, the enemy has hoarded the main forces there, gathered very densely, ordered the planes and artillery to continue to fire, ordered the troops on both flanks to speed up the encirclement, to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Oreska!" ”
"Yes, Marshal!"
When Wang Weiyi gave the order to encircle and annihilate the operation, General Kolkorok also received a telegram directly from the Soviet High Command: Hold on to Oreska and Qiurminsk, do not take a step back, and buy the maximum time for the arrival of reinforcements!
In the eyes of General Kolkorok, this is simply a telegram of absurdity to the extreme. The Germans broke through two of their lines in quick succession in less than a day and would soon be attacking the core.
In Zhurminsk, the situation was also seriously ineffective against the Soviet troops, the German assault had reached the point of invincibility, and those improvised Soviet troops were not their opponents at all.
The Soviet positions in Oreska and Zhurminsk were full of planes and artillery support, but the Soviet high command had no intention of sending additional planes and artillery except for issuing an order to hold on.
If this continues, they simply won't be able to wait for reinforcements
General Kolkorok did not have any way, this was not only an order from the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army, but also a telegram from Comrade Stalin himself!
What was the end of disobedience to Comrade Stalin? Unless you can be like Zhukov, who repeatedly quarreled with Comrade Stalin, and even forced Stalin to initiate the post of political commissar at the same time, and changed it to a one-person responsibility system for the military chief and was unharmed, then Kolkorok shuddered at the thought of this
He had no choice but to strictly implement Comrade Stalin's orders and continue to hold on.
The battlefield was a little quieter, but Kolkorok knew that it was not that the Germans had stopped attacking, but that they were accumulating strength for a larger attack.
The situation was exactly as he thought, and about an hour later, the rampant German planes reappeared over Kharkov.
And then again, the never-ending German artillery.
The smoke of gunfire once again filled the battlefield
The phone in the headquarters rang non-stop, and there was an urgent need for reinforcements everywhere. Kolkorok was helpless, the reserves that could be used in his hands had already been sent, where else could he go to find reinforcements now?
And the bad news that followed kept coming, and at the same time as the attack of the German Kharkov group, the German 2nd Panzer Army also launched an offensive at the same time. Moreover, those Soviet troops who were rushing to Kharkov were heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe along the way, which seriously slowed down their advance.
Two days, the first reinforcements will take about two days to reach Kharkov.
Two days? Kolkorok laughed miserably, he couldn't hold on for even a day
In the eyes of Kolkorok and all the Soviet troops, the German offensive was simply to the point of madness! Hordes of tanks crushed all positions, hordes of German soldiers drowned everything. The Soviets were being consumed with unbearable numbers.
A group of reserves was sent up, and then soon the news of their elimination came and then the second and third groups of reserves were sent again, and it didn't take long for the news of their elimination to come again, and the Kharkov battlefield was a huge bottomless pit that continued to devour the lives of thousands of Russians
And what is even more terrifying is that even when night falls, the Germans did not relax their attack at all, and they seemed to have made up their minds:
End this offensive battle tomorrow!
The explosive power of the German army on the battlefield was shocking to the extreme. Even in the early stages of the Soviet-German war, the Germans were not so desperate.
At night, the battlefield was illuminated by the light of the fire, and everything was exposed to the raging fire.
German tanks are assaulting, German soldiers are assaulting!
They destroyed the Soviet army's will to resist with constant assaults, and the battlefield was now a slaughterhouse, and some German soldiers, when they rushed to a position, found that they could see nothing but the dead.
Looking at the good news in front of him, Wang Weiyi knew that the goal of the offensive battle in Kharkov had been basically achieved, and it was impossible for Oreska and Qiurminsk to continue to hold on.
By noon at the latest, the assault operations in Oreska and Zulminsk will be over!
And this is just the first stage of the entire Kharkiv counterattack, and even in Wang Weiyi's view, this is just a small victory.
The enemy should have sent Marshal Timoshenko out, right? It was a generation of famous Russians, and the duel between the marshal and the marshal made Wang Weiyi feel even more excited.
He picked up the phone that had just been set up: "Where is the Moder I want to transfer now?" ”
"Your Excellency, General Moder will be there tomorrow afternoon."
"As soon as possible, I need to see Moder in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Putting down the phone, Wang Weiyi smiled faintly.
"Iron Wall" Modell, when he greeted him, he did not appear, and it is said that something went wrong, as if he was with Adolf. Hitler. And the two seem to be having a very unpleasant quarrel.
Xiao Ling didn't find out what the reason was, and it seemed that only Moder himself could answer.
But such a generation of famous generals, others don't know the way, how can Wang Weiyi not know? It's like a gem that must never be left dusty forever.
In the second stage of the Kharkiv counterattack, Moder will inevitably burst out with energy that surprises everyone! (To be continued.) )
