Four hundred and thirty-seven. Go ahead, Germany!
Go ahead, Germany!
When Ernst. Field Marshal Brem gave this order, and the surging German army on the battlefield of Kharkov issued the strongest cry since the siege of Demyansk!
- Go ahead, Germany!
In the name of Germany, in the name of Ernst:
- Forward!
The tanks roared, the assault guns roared, the German soldiers roared!
Tiger tanks, Type IV tanks, and hunters appeared on the battlefield.
And around them, there were hordes of German soldiers!
- Skeleton Master, forward!
- Weidmann Commando, forward!
Weidmann's assault company continued to act as the vanguard of the whole division!
This daring tankman, together with his companion Phillipsen, found General Ernst at the height of the siege of Demyansk!
Originally, they had to be court-martialed, but General Ernst, no, it was time to call him Field Marshal Ernst, and interceded for them at the most critical time, not to exempt them from the court-martial, and also made them ensigns.
Hey, that's a good result. What's even more gratifying is that Weidmann and Phillipson were incorporated into the Skeleton Division, each responsible for commanding a commando tank.
It will live up to the name of the skeleton!
Now, Weidmann and Phillipsen have this on their lips from time to time
The Tiger was relentless and crushed towards the enemy position, accompanied by them. It was the SS commandos.
The artillery is roaring, the MG34 is roaring, and the MP40 is roaring!
Make the earth tremble, make the enemy tremble, and make the whole battlefield tremble!
In the name of Ernst – forward!
The positions of the Soviet troops have long been bombarded to pieces. How could those tofu dregs-like defensive lines hold back such a fierce onslaught from the Germans?
The Russians wailed under the tracks of the tanks, and the Soviet soldiers died under the strafing of bullets
The resistance is so weak
Under the surging attack, the Soviet army was at a loss.
The officers didn't know what to do, and the soldiers didn't know what to do.
Even their senior commanders didn't know what to do.
Some brave Soviet soldiers, in such a passive situation. Still stubbornly organized a counterattack, but a large number of German trench assaults soon appeared in front of their positions!
It's an old Skeleton Wizard tradition.
Before Field Marshal Ernst invented this tactic, positional warfare was always a headache for either side of the war. But with the advent of trench commandos, the problem was immediately greatly improved.
Several submachine guns rang out, suppressing enemy fire, and rows of grenades were thrown out. In the midst of explosions. The flamethrower in the flamethrower's hand spews snake-like flames into enemy positions.
Screams were heard from Soviet positions
Several of the enemy, who were on fire, stood up and ran around desperately, but soon continued to be fired by German submachine guns.
Then, melee soldiers with sapper shovels rushed into the position, and after a burst of flesh and blood, all the Soviet troops in the position were wiped out.
It's all, not a single one left alive
A large number of trench assaults, supported by tanks. Seize the enemy's positions one by one in a familiar way, until 12 o'clock. In two hours, the first line of defense of the Soviet army in Oreska was completely broken!
And in the direction of Zhurminsk, there was also good news: the Kleist battle group also broke through the first line of defense of the Soviet troops.
They were sniped by a Russian tank regiment, which was quickly wiped out, and a large number of Russian soldiers fell under the guns of the Kleist battle group.
When these good news were sent to Wang Weiyi, Baron Skeleton just asked coldly, "Have we achieved the final victory?" ”
"No, Your Excellency, Marshal!"
"Has Kharkov fallen into our hands?"
"Neither, Marshal."
"So what's there to celebrate? I want the whole of Kharkov! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Order the Skeleton Division, continue to keep the offensive, tell Ludwig that in six hours I will reach his unit, and I hope to stand on the second line of defense of the Soviet army and see the rear core of the Russians in Oresca!"
"I convey it at once, Your Excellency Marshal!"
Field Marshal Ernst has already made his request, now it's up to those German soldiers at the front to do it!
These German boys were constantly supporting each other, constantly relying on the combined firepower of tanks, machine guns and submachine guns to pull out the resistance of the Russians one by one.
In the second line of defense, the Russians, reacting from the panic, strengthened their resistance at once.
Especially those Soviet snipers, who caused a lot of trouble for the Germans.
These snipers of the Soviet army have strong fighting qualities. No matter how fierce the artillery fire of the Germans was, no matter how many positions the enemy occupied, they would not blink an eye.
When the Germans appear in their sights, they will soon be hunted down.
The 2nd assault squadron of the Littler SS, which rushed to the front, had already suffered no small losses under the fire of these damned Soviet snipers.
Two squad leaders have already lost their lives in the merciless hunt of snipers
The Germans were not afraid of the Soviet army's fire net, but the presence of these snipers was a great headache. They hide in the shadows, waiting for the appearance of the target with unimaginable perseverance and calmness, and then deliver a fatal blow to the target.
No matter how the enemy attacks, it will not affect them, on the contrary, it will make them calmer!
Little knew that he was in trouble, and that it was a big problem.
The machine guns on the Soviet positions roared desperately, blocking the advance of their assault squadrons. And the snipers, who are almost everywhere, also wander around like ghosts.
Fortunately, Little is a very calm officer, in fact, in addition to being brave and fanatical in the Skeleton Division. Calmness is also an essential quality for officers.
He ordered the assault team to temporarily halt the attack and carefully observe the battlefield.
Dense bullets are ejected from the front, and those cold guns come from
Southwest!
Little made his own judgment at the first time:
The enemy's snipers are hiding in the southwest, which is a dead end, but the best position that the sniper can choose.
The main lethality to the assault squadron came from there, and compared to the frontal Soviet fire, the southwest was the most terrifying place!
"Get me a tank!" Little shouted.
A few minutes passed. The tank was not found, but a stalker appeared!
"Hey, Sergeant. I need you to shoot southwest and stop those damn snipers, can you do that? Little asked aloud.
The sergeant in the Stalker looked at it, "Leave it to me, Captain." I think I can do it!! ”
"Commando. All ready! Machine gun, I need machine gun suppression! And what about the grenadiers? Where are the damned grenadiers? Hey, Supplyman, what are you hiding there for? We need ammunition! ”
Little sounded a bit of a hiss
A cannonball whizzed out of the chamber of the pursuer
With a "boom", a large puff of gunpowder smoke rose up
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
The voices of the commando officers rang out, and the roars of MG34 and MG40 were heard at the same moment.
Then, the grenadiers went crazy and threw the grenades out of their hands!
The pursuer smashed out another shell, regardless of whether it hit the target or not. At least now those damn snipers have stopped shooting for the time being!
Maybe it was a very short time, but on the battlefield. Many times a second can make the difference between victory and defeat!
The Little assault squadron had already rushed closer to the Soviet positions, and now the shooters and grenadiers were better able to play their role.
Judging by the sound of gunfire in the enemy's positions, it is clear that the enemy is beginning to waver.
"Pyro, I need a few Pyros!"
The flamethrowers appeared, under the cover of machine guns, and the flames began to envelop the enemy positions, from which the panicked cries of the Russians could be clearly heard.
A large platoon of grenades was thrown out again, and with a "boom" explosion, the German soldiers with submachine guns suddenly stood up and rushed into the enemy trenches with a simple charge.
The situation in the trenches was horrific.
Dozens of charred corpses lay on their backs, unable to distinguish their original faces.
A Soviet lieutenant staggered to his feet, wounded, but still holding a pistol in his hand.
Little shook his head at him, and he was discouraged to lay down his weapon.
But the Soviet lieutenant also stubbornly shook his head, and then shouted in his mouth that he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Little reluctantly ended the life of this enemy with a gun
In fact, the Soviet lieutenant could have been saved from dying, but what could be done?
The enemy in the position was cleared, and there may have been a company or more of Russians here, but now there was nothing but corpses.
Little let out a long sigh of relief.
Hell, this is the first position you have conquered? He couldn't remember it at all.
He found that from the beginning of the attack, he was nothing but an assault, an assault, or an assault! There was simply no time to calculate how many enemies he had killed and how many positions he had captured.
The only thing he and his soldiers could do was to seize a new position and then attack another new one.
Until all enemies are gone.
"Captain, we caught a living Russian, a sniper, who was knocked unconscious."
"Really? Bring him up. ”
The Russian sniper was brought up, and his face was still bleeding there.
Little asked someone to stop the bleeding and asked, "Can you understand German?" ”
"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
