Chapter 39: Fierce Battle

"All in combat positions! The enemy is coming! The commander's command suddenly echoed, and Licorice immediately stood up and poked his head out of the trench to look ahead, only to see a large number of enemy troops coming in the distance, hundreds of tanks approaching in front, and a large number of infantry and other vehicles following closely, and another defensive battle began. However, now it is only a simple difficulty, the commander on the opposite side may have lost his mind because of the loss of this place, and he began to launch repeated attacks on the defense line here without waiting for the gathering of heavy troops, you know, the three group armies that attacked here have nearly 700,000 combat troops, even if they are now divided into 200,000 people to attack the mountainous areas, there are nearly 500,000 people who stay here to defend, and the armored troops, there are nearly 1,500 tanks alone, and there are countless other vehicles and anti-tank weapons. But this is actually the biggest drawback, everything is because of supplies, now they are in a place where they want to get supplies can only rely on the group army near Stalingrad to forcibly send them over, but the logistics transport trucks are okay, but those carriages are completely unable to afford this kind of logistics transportation that needs to break through the blockade, so the efficiency is greatly reduced, fortunately, each unit in this offensive has its own large number of supplies, at least for a short time.

"Bang~" On the battlefield full of ruins and wreckage, after a turret was blown up by the wreckage of a Soviet tank, Licorice, who was half-squatting and hiding here, once again killed the commander of the enemy who commanded the soldiers to attack on the front-line battlefield, but this did not seem to help the situation much, John next to Licorice was full of exhaustion, and now he is no longer as confident as he was at the beginning, these days the Soviet army seems to be crazy, and has launched attacks here again and again, again and again, day and night, Even completely ignoring the losses of the armored forces, those tanks became completely disposable consumables, and Soviet tanks rushed over as if they could take away an enemy and return to their roots, even planes in the sky.

"Air strike!" John's hurried voice sounded, and Licorice lay on the ground against the wreckage of the tank without thinking about it, "BOMM~~~" Aerial bombs exploded nearby, blowing up craters one after another, the soil was blown up high, and the air waves spread outward wave after wave.

"Phew!" Licorice got up from the ground, shook off the dirt on his body, and watched the Soviet plane that had just bombed him being dragged into a Leopard tank under the pursuit of the German plane, dragging billowing smoke towards a Leopard tank, a violent explosion sounded, the flames that distorted the air were burning, and the billowing smoke continued to drift into the sky, and the sky seemed to be darker. Airplanes have also become expendables, since five days ago, air raids like the one just now are just a very common thing, the German Air Force broke its promise, Soviet planes attacked here again and again, attacked them, although the German air force used a lot of effort to intercept Soviet planes, but the Soviet planes had no intention of going back at all, they came to attack the defenders of the area, half of the Soviet planes that broke through the German air blockade will begin to drop bombs and ground attacks after arriving at the battlefield, When the ammunition runs out, they will return if the German air blockade is now, but if the German aircraft are larger, then they will choose to find a Leopard tank and crash it headlong, as they did just now.

The Leopard tank that was hit was not badly damaged, but the raging flames on the body undoubtedly showed a fact, the tank was finished, after the tank drove out of the fire area, the hatch on the turret quickly opened, the commander jumped out of the tank covered in fire, and the crew members of the other vehicles behind also jumped out one after another, but they only came out of the three people in the turret, and the driver and the communicator were probably unable to get out because of their position. But the three people who escaped were not able to get better, and may even be worse than the two people in the car, because their death was slow, they kept rolling on the ground, or took off their clothes and tried to extinguish the flames with water, but it had no effect, the flames caused by fuel oil, water could not be extinguished, they had not had time to die while rolling next to the burning tank, the tank had exploded because of the ammunition fire, a louder explosion sounded than just now, and the turret of the Leopard tank flew into the air, Then it slammed to the ground, and the three crew members who were tortured by the pain also died in the violent explosion of the tank, which can be regarded as a relief.

"Next time if I catch fire, don't hesitate to shoot me with one shot! I don't want to be rescued. Licorice looked at all this and said to John in a complicated tone.

"Good!" John nodded without hesitation.

Although the Soviet offensive was fierce and fearless of death, both sides suffered heavy losses, the German side lost a lot of tanks alone, and the damage of personnel could not be counted, because there were too many, and now the war is so tense who has time to count that, but the German defense line does not show any signs of retreat, licorice is still standing on the line of defense where he stayed before, as for why the tanks that are now used as shelters by licorice are Soviet troops? It's very simple, because this tank rushed to the German position, because a large number of Soviet tanks rushed to the German position, it was a battle two days ago, the Soviet army thousands of tank groups charged, and there was no intention to go back at all, they were already holding the mentality of dying if they didn't win, and finally they broke through the German anti-tank fire and the Leopard tank fought chaotically, and even a lot of T44 tanks rushed to this height, but fortunately, the German Black Panther tank number was more and the crew was of higher quality, Even more powerful, and finally annihilated it with great casualties, the one that Licorice is now relying on is one of the Soviet tanks that rushed to the high ground at that time.

Looking at the enemy troops who temporarily retreated to gather momentum to attack again, smelling the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and all kinds of miscellaneous smells, licorice was also temporarily relieved, and finally could rest for a while, looking at the situation on the other side, this is another change of commander, during this time, the enemy's combat style has changed several times, not that the soldier's combat style has changed, but the command style is constantly changing, but no matter how it changes, it will still come to attack for a while. To be honest, the pressure brought by the Soviet army to licorice is not as great as imagined, such as the torrent of steel that only exists in legends and various materials in another time and space did not appear, even if there was a group charge of thousands of tanks this time, and the two sides combined for a large-scale battle of more than 2,000 tanks, but compared with the history in another time and space, it is still too far behind, because this time the Soviet army did not have as many tanks as the German army! There were not as many as the German army! This thing is important, so it must be repeated again. Although the battle damage ratio completely surpasses the history of another time and space, but the quantitative comparison is more obvious, this is the result of forcibly climbing the technology tree, the two sides seem to be completely reversed, licorice is completely confused, I am wearing the wrong world, I got the wrong script, the main god is really unreliable.

"Whoa! Hurry up and replenish your strength, look at the posture on the opposite side, and attack again in less than two hours. John said after dropping a box of marching rations into Licorice's hand.

Licorice reflexively grabbed the box and asked softly, "How many supplies do we have left?" ”

"I just went to the logistics to get supplies when I asked, our share will not be less, but there is not much left, I heard that the supply line has been completely broken, and the troops outside have never been able to attack, which means that we are completely surrounded." John shrugged his shoulders and said as easily as he could.

"In other words, it won't be long before we go to the mountains to gnaw on the bark?" Licorice blinked and said strangely.

"I don't think it's that serious, after all, we brought a lot of supplies with us when we came, but if it takes a little longer, we may still have to go to the mountains to play in the wilderness to survive." John quipped with a laugh.

"Today is the forty-second day that we have been holding on here, which means that the Soviet army has been out of fuel for forty-two days, and I don't know how the mountain division is fighting, and there is no result to come back so far." Licorice said helplessly.

"Ha, you, the squad leader of the sniper squad, are really miserable, the whole squad is just the two of us, and the other teams have been transferred to the mountains, why don't you transfer us too? I think it would be safest for us to fight in the mountains, as we do now, either being rushed in front of us by tanks or constantly bombed by planes. ”

"The squad leader of the sniper squad? I haven't exercised any rights that belong to the squad leader, and I haven't seen them since the start of the fight, and they're all scattered, so the establishment of this squad is completely whimsical by the people above. Licorice laughed to herself as she fiddled with her food.

"That's right, snipers are originally dispersed and act independently, even if we have any special circumstances that require the cooperation of other snipers, it is also the principle of proximity, call nearby snipers to help, how can there be a reason to find snipers from other places to help, and it is too late in time." John nodded.
