Chapter 548 548 Everyone's Battle
April 11, 1939, Mazovscheminsk on the periphery west of Minsk.
Sergeant machine gunner Wolf was watching in amazement at what was happening in front of the position.
"Good boy, where did these people come from, it's too fierce." He muttered as he watched as men in the grey uniforms of the regular German army chased the routed Russian troops and slashed them.
Less than five minutes earlier, the Russians had tried to break through Wolf's machine-gun fire and seize the warehouse, which was guarded by armored hunters.
Hans Zimmer, who was also looking at what was happening in front of him, whispered, "No matter where they came from, as long as they can open the passage between us and the main force, I will thank them." ”
"However, I have not heard of a unit in our army that will give bayonets to assault rifles when charging."
Lin Youde's German army would give priority to the use of firearms in hand-to-hand combat, after all, they were generally equipped with automatic weapons. When no firearms were available, they preferred to use a sapper shovel that they carried with them, and bayonets were indeed uncommon and were generally only used in stabbing training, and most of the time German troops did not use bayonets on the battlefield.
That's why the armored hunters looked at this unit with strange eyes at this time.
After the Russians were almost completely driven out of Wolf's sight, a small group of Germans brisked through the open area between the warehouses and other buildings and into the positions of the armored hunters.
As soon as the leader entered the position, he shouted: "Who is the leader here?" ”
"I am." Hans Zimmer stood up, "Acting Company Commander Hans Zimmer, you are ......"
"The third company of the first battalion of the Serbian Volunteer Brigade, I am the company commander. We have been commanded to open the way between you and the Main Position. We have driven away all the Russians who are blocking between you and the main position, and the follow-up troops will be there soon. ”
"I'm glad to hear that." Hans said, turning his head to look at the open field outside the position, "Is it okay for your men to pursue like this?" ”
"They will come back when they have killed enough, and even most of us have a grudge against the Russians, either they were killed by their wives and brothers, or they were killed by their mothers and fathers, you have to understand their feelings."
Hans glanced back at Wolf, who spread his hands.
At this time, James Horner came running from the other end of the warehouse, and as soon as he saw Hans, he exclaimed: "I see that the Russians are retreating, and there is a group of Germans chasing them with bayonets, what the hell is going on?" ”
"Actually, it was the Serbian troops." Hans said and pointed to the company commander next to him who was wearing a German uniform without German insignia, "They seem to ...... It seems that there is a bit of a personal vendetta with the Russians. ”
"Aha, a personal vendetta." James licked his lips and looked the Serb up and down, then his eyes fell on the man running towards the position, "Looks like we have supplies." Damn, I haven't drunk clean water in twelve hours. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a Serbian soldier untied the kettle and threw it to James.
"Thank you." James immediately unscrewed the lid of the kettle and drank wildly.
"Give me some ...... too" Wolf stood up and reached for the kettle.
At this time, the Serbs, carrying all kinds of large boxes, entered the position, put down the boxes, opened the lids, and reported to the company commander in Serbian.
"What's wrong?" Hans asked.
"They stepped on a landmine on the way over and killed a third of them." The Serbian company commander said lightly.
Hans didn't say anything more, but turned around and shouted into the warehouse, "Here comes the ammunition!" Send one person from each class to pick it up! Let's count what is missing. ”
At this moment, Wolf, who was taking machine gun ammunition from the box, suddenly stood up and saluted behind Hans.
"How's it going?" The girl in the dirty Polish military uniform asked Hans in English.
"We've been resupplied and the access to the main position has been opened, Miss Veronica."
"Good." Veronica turned to the Serb company commander and saluted before continuing in English, "Thank you for the reinforcements. ”
The Serb looked at Hans suspiciously.
"Hell," Wolf pouted, "it's such a big warehouse and it turns out to be three different languages." ”

Hans's company advanced to its present position in a counter-onslaught on 9 April. This counter-attack recaptured a large area of positions captured by the Russian army and re-stabilized the defensive ring on the periphery of Masovsherminsk. According to the plan of the 9th Army stationed in Masovsheminsk, after a successful counter-attack, there would be a newly arrived infantry division to strengthen the defense of the captured positions.
But this plan did not come true, because the infantry division that was scheduled to arrive was "late", and it is said that it was intercepted by the Russian army halfway, and had to spread out a formation in place and attack and advance.
As a result, the task of defending this sector could only be undertaken by the armored hunters who had just finished the counter-attack.
By the 11th, all but Hans's company had no choice but to retreat. Hans's company was able to hold out mainly because they were supported by the Magic Armor.
After receiving the order to let her team retreat, Veronica, the commander of the Polish Magic Armored Squad, insisted that the team stay where it was, and together with the two remaining infantry fighting vehicles of Hans's company, formed the backbone of the storehouse's defense.
During the two-day battle, Veronica's company worked in tandem with infantry and infantry combat, destroying five Russian magic armor around the warehouse, and also capturing three Russian infantry guns that fired at close range, annihilating a large number of Russian soldiers.
However, after two days of fighting, Veronica's company's magic armor was depleted, and her two wingmen were destroyed near the warehouse, leaving only Veronica's barely able to move.
Veronica's body is also in terrible condition, she is basically unable to run and jump, she can only move hobbly, her energy weapons are no longer usable, and her defensive runes are almost all burned. So Veronica parked her body on the northwest side, where the Russian army was most likely to attack - where the Russian army took control of a small building not far from the warehouse, which could provide enough concealment for the attacking troops, and when the Germans saw the attacking Russian army, they were only a hundred meters away from the warehouse.
The Russian army figured out the situation of Veronica's squad on the morning of the 11th, and then they launched a fierce attack on the position of the warehouse from other directions, but it was obvious that the Russians' battle concubines were also very badly attrition, so they did not take this opportunity to invest in new battle concubine troops, but only launched an attack with conventional troops.
Just at this time, the Serbs came.

After inspecting the entire position, Hans found Veronica, who was drinking coffee next to the Magic Armor on her knees.
"The Serbs say they'll send a convoy to escort you to the rear."
"I ordered the team to stay behind and help you stabilize your defenses." Veronica took a sip of her coffee, then frowned - the German army's military instant coffee was so unpleasant that it could instantly eclipse the face of a beautiful girl. Maybe the impact of the coffee was too great, Veronica interrupted her words for a while, and it took a while to pick up the conversation.
"Now, because of my orders, my sisters have all died here, and I am left alone. A month ago, when I was ordered to attack Bialystok, I had sixty sisters, and now I am the only one left. I am ready to die on Polish soil in order to rebel against the tyranny of the Russians. ”
"Don't you have any family?"
"Yes, but so do my sisters."
Hans Zimmer scratched his head, he seemed to be trying his best to come up with something to convince the stubborn Polish girl, but he couldn't come up with it.
Eventually, Veronica spoke: "Well, when my magic armor is completely inoperable, I'll retreat." ”
"Well," Hans shrugged, "whatever you want, you're higher in rank than me anyway." ”
"So, Mr. Acting Company Commander, I need cannon shells for my magic guide armor, please try to get some."

Five kilometers north of Masovsheminsk, a small group of Russian cavalry, escorting a staff officer major, was galloping on a muddy dirt road.
When approaching a checkpoint, they suddenly found that the road was blocked, and the Russian troops guarding the checkpoint immediately set up their machine guns as if they were facing a great enemy as soon as they saw the cavalry running over.
"Which part of you, I want a pass."
The second lieutenant, carrying a captured German automatic weapon on his back, stood in the middle of the road with his feet straddled, pressed the handle of the assault rifle in one hand, and raised it high in the air with the other, waving it constantly.
"I am the herald of General Yelavich, and I have urgent military affairs." The major staff officer said in a high-spirited tone, "There is no pass, but if you want to block the way......"
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to offend, I just ......"
The second lieutenant suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun and fired at the Russian cavalry in front of him, and at the same time, the machine gun mounted on the side of the road also opened fire
