Four hundred and nine. Life Passage (4th Monthly Pass)
With the efforts of the Skeleton Division and countless German soldiers, a gap was finally torn open again.
A large number of Demyansk besieged soldiers rushed out of here, and supplies began to come in again.
The besieged German troops everywhere moved closer to this.
The soldiers of the Skeleton Division defended their positions to the death, and on either flank, the Paipa Combat Regiment and the Altino Combat Group.
The first to break through, the last one to go!
From day one, the Skeleton Master had been determined to do so.
The Soviet counterattack was very ferocious, and the Soviet troops who rushed to Radev in droves were put on the battlefield at the first time without any adjustment
The Tiger, Type IV tanks, and the Pursuers desperately smashed the shells at the enemy, burning a sea of fire on the front position, blocking the front of the T34.
MG34 and MP40 spewed flames, and the rain of bullets killed and injured the Soviet troops who rushed up with a shout of "Ula".
The Russians have been killed and wounded here to a terrible level.
On January 23, 1942 alone, the Soviet army suffered a horrific 26,000 casualties.
This day was indeed the darkest day in the history of the Soviet army.
The two newly formed Soviet corps, in cooperation with the 118th and 133rd divisions of the Soviet Belorussian Front, launched a tsunami-like charge against the German positions.
The German soldiers on the battlefield didn't have to aim at all, and the bullets killed and wounded the hordes of Russians like a storm. The corpses in front of the kung fu position, which had only been for a moment, had already piled up
The sea of tanks and soldiers of the Russians crowded together made the battle-hardened Germans worry when they saw it, and they really couldn't think of where Russia got so many tanks and so many soldiers
One layer was shot down. Another layer of addition, without hesitation, came up an armored battalion that had been knocked out, and a new armored battalion had been thrown into the attack, and the roar of death echoed across the battlefield, and the blood stained the entire sky a terrible dark red
What stormtrooper formations, what tactics, for the Russians are completely non-existent. They were able to assemble a large number of legions in the shortest possible time, but they did not have enough time to train. But each soldier was given an infantry, and the only "training" the soldiers received before going to battle was a slogan:
"For the great Soviets. Advance! ”
Then, large numbers of Russians went to the battlefield and died on the battlefield.
On the Soviet-German battlefield. A German veteran who exhibited at the beginning of the war and survived the war by the end of the war is not an exaggeration to say that he killed at least a thousand Russians.
Especially those machine gunners
Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood. Radfu has become a living hell
On the morning of the 23rd. The Soviets launched about six or eight attacks, with a slight pause at noon, and in the afternoon a new offensive began rapidly.
MG34's machine gunners' arms were already swollen, and they began to hallucinate before their eyes, only to feel a patch of blood, and then in the blood, countless ghosts were charging there.
Submachine gunners are eager to turn the MP40 into the MG34 as well. Otherwise, there are so many Russians who come up in layers that there is no time to shoot them.
Those gunners in tanks and self-propelled guns. One by one, they were going crazy, their shells did not stop from the very beginning of the battle, and by the end of the day, the shells were simply too late to be supplied.
The snipers experienced one of the most unforgettable scenes of their lives, with almost every pull of the trigger causing an enemy to fall
One of the snipers saw a Russian no more than sixteen years old rushing towards him, and without hesitation, he pulled his gun in his hand, and the children fell to the ground. But after only a moment's effort, he staggered to his feet again, shouting "Ula" in his mouth, and actually re-entered the attack.
The sniper shook his head and ended his life with a second bullet
In the past, he would have sympathized with the enemy only at such an age, but now he wouldn't even think about it for a second.
Those Russians are really crazy, no, it is the commanders of those Russians who are crazy. Don't they know that these are all living human lives?
The Skeleton Division fought here to save the lives of 200,000 German soldiers. And the Russians threw batches of young people into the battlefield to die, but they were ready to exchange the lives of the Germans for several times or even dozens of times.
The Germans even thought there that in order to achieve victory, the Russians did not hesitate to kill the last man in the country, right? Then the Russian top brass can open the best wine in the Kremlin and hail their great victory.
As for the Russian soldiers who died on the battlefield in the millions, these high-ranking people will not shed a single tear for them
The first attack of the afternoon was repulsed, then the second, the third
When the last attack on the 23rd was repulsed, the German officers and men of the Skeleton Division looked at everything in front of them in amazement, as if they still did not believe that today's battle was over.
In front, there were all corpses, one pressing one against the other, squeezing one row after another, and there was almost no space on the battlefield.
A destroyed T34 was burning, and several corpses were hanging from the tank, and the flames were scorched little by little
A German soldier couldn't bear it any longer, opened his mouth, and vomited with a big "wow".
And this quickly spread among the German army, and many German soldiers who had experienced countless lives and deaths actually vomited as much as their companions.
This kind of cruel and bloody scene really makes people's spirits collapse!
Wang Weiyi also saw all this in front of him, and he was a little helpless. It is always said how powerful the Soviet army is, but in fact, what kind of foundation such a so-called "strong" is built on, only those who have experienced this war will know.
The Soviet top brass didn't care how many people died, they could form a dozen new legions almost overnight, and they could afford the big losses
But Germany was different, and Germany had to be careful with every division they had at their disposal.
This kind of war of attrition is not what the Germans want, and we must find a way to change this situation.
After the Demyansk breakout, the Germans were able to get a period of respite that was not too long, how to make good use of this time?
And how to turn the tide of the Soviet-German war?
There must be a way, there must be a way
To travel through time and space is to complete tasks that seem impossible and create miracles that are impossible to create.
When he first came to Germany, although the skeleton commando he commanded was invincible, it was unable to reverse the fate of Germany's defeat.
So Wang Weiyi once thought so, but when he started to cross for the second time, he began to find that the situation was a little different
He actually helped China defend against the Japanese army's crazy attack, and successfully blocked the Japanese army from the defense line, and even launched a full-scale counteroffensive in 1942!
He managed to change history!
So what about this time?
Wang Weiyi was silent until Ludwig came to his side, and he didn't notice it
"General, terrible day." Ludwig was apprehensive.
"Ah, yes, a terrible day." Wang Weiyi settled down.
Ludwig's eyes still fell on the position in front: "We probably killed 20,000 or 30,000 Russians, but our casualties were also very large, and some positions were broken through several times, forcing us to use reserves in advance, and only then did we beat the Russians out of the army." ”
"In a few days, the fighting will get even fiercer." Wang Weiyi's brows locked: "But we have no other way now, we can only nail here and not back down." ”
Saying that, he thought for a moment: "To generate electricity, we need a lot of bullets, a lot of machine guns, a lot of submachine guns, a lot of tanks and artillery!" Let them bring us in! I need it now! ”
"Yes, I'll generate electricity right away."
"Airplanes, I also need planes, non-stop bombing of Russian positions! You can't stop for a minute, from day to night, bombing desperately! Wang Weiyi's tone sounded murderous: "By the end of the month, such bombing cannot be stopped!" At the same time, the 2nd Panzer Corps of Paul Hausser was ordered not to stop the attack for a moment, and the enemy must not be allowed to draw reinforcements from Minsosk! If I find out that there is a Russian in Minsosk who appears here, Paul Hausser can resign himself! ”
"Yes, General!" Ludwig replied loudly.
This is the skull baron they are all too familiar with, and an order is an order, whether you are a division commander in the SS or an armored corps.
When the baron's order is given, no one can disobey it! And with the baron here, the Demyansk breakout will definitely end victoriously.
Wang Weiyi was thinking about it as easily as his subordinates at this time, he knew too well what kind of predicament the skeleton division would face in a week.
The gap is the lifeline of the besieged German army in Demyansk, and it must not be lost!
After dawn, there will be another terrible bloody battle, which will not stop for a minute. Countless people will die here, blood will stain Radfu red, corpses will clog every road.
But the Germans here also have a strong belief:
They are fighting with the baron! (To be continued.) )
