Chapter 962 - 963 is no longer visible
In war, it is sometimes very easy to find out the whereabouts of the wounded on several battlefields, and sometimes it is very difficult. It is a pity that the report on the losses and casualties of the 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion is extremely messy.
At that time, the 502nd Destroyer Battalion was divided in several places, after all, this heavy tank battalion used as a field firefighter had to be responsible for the battlefield when defending.
Almost at the same time that the remaining two tanks of the 1st Company and 1st Platoon of Wren were all wiped out, the 2 platoons and 5 King Tiger tanks under his command were also completely wiped out in the battle for the 808 Heights, that is, the forces of this battle caused the retreat of the Imperial Division to be delayed, so that it was almost surrounded and eaten by the Soviet army.
And before this battle, 2 units of the 502 armored battalion suffered heavy losses in the battle, and a Tiger tank was also destroyed at the battalion headquarters. By the time the Wren crew was finally destroyed, the total number of tanks remaining in the entire battalion was only 8. And during the retreat, a tank had a mechanical failure and finally had to blow it up.
With such a scattered set-up and way of engaging in combat, it is not surprising that many troops have lost contact or are not recorded. Some infantry of the Imperial Division claimed that they had seen some King Tiger tanks that they did not know to be from that unit during the retreat, and these tanks were speculated to have come from the 2nd Platoon of the Rennes Tank Company.
As for the special forces, because they are not subordinate to the regular army group of the Wehrmacht, it is necessary to obtain the action records of these special forces, and the request of Captain Wren is a bit inadequate, and it is estimated that if Guderian applies, it may be approved.
Therefore, for two days, the Germans were defeated at the front, and Wren heard a lot of news about the loss of Belgorod, but he still could not find his subordinates who did not know what to do. Wren's injuries have recovered a lot, at least the pain in his body is not so exaggerated now, and there is no need for him to try to suppress himself with silence to prevent himself from humming.
The female nurse often came over, and saw that the young captain Wren was also full of brilliance in her eyes, you must know that although the other party was a full ten years older than him, but in the face of a little fresh meat summoned by the Fรผhrer, it was certain that she had the idea to try it. It's just that the current situation is that the falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, but unfortunately the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers.
On the long line of actual control between the Soviet Union and Germany, the armies of the two countries are like two wounded beasts, quietly ****ing their wounds, in order to continue to deal a fatal blow to each other, they are doing their best to recuperate. Both sides are accumulating all their strength, hoping to fight the situation they want to see the most in the next battle.
The focus of the German offensive shifted from the south to the center, and Rundstedt's other main German army, the elite Army Group A, was to attack Moscow and completely capture the Soviet capital to end the war as soon as possible. Another direction in which Germany would maintain its offensive was the southernmost Grozny front, where General Manstein was leading Army Group M in an effort to attack in the direction of Baku.
Now the current stable situation in the Soviet Union is the last respite and struggle, and it is difficult to change the fact that the Soviet Union is underarmed, at least near Moscow. With such a weak force to resist the thunderous blow of Army Group A, even Stalin himself did not believe that he could achieve victory in the defense of Moscow. But Stalin at least intended to try, and his officials and politicians were already preparing for their future.
Many people began to discuss the feasibility of ending the war in private, and some even proposed ceding all the areas now occupied by Germany in exchange for the end of the war and a strategic treaty between the two countries that would never invade each other. Some people have more radically suggested that they could join the German Axis bloc and compensate for the losses caused by the German invasion by expanding abroad in other directions.
Even more exaggerated, some have even begun preparations for an attack on Stalin, including the use of death squads to attack convoys or the planting of mines along the way. Unfortunately, Stalin himself never went out of the Kremlin for half a step, so that this crazy plan of action could only be postponed indefinitely.
Moscow seems to have become an undefended city, and some of the poor people want to leave the city, and the Soviet troops stationed around the city are ordered to drive these poor people back into the city - Stalin ordered that no one leave Moscow, and he is to lead all the people in the city to resist the German invasion until the last moment.
Not everyone is willing to die for the country, especially since the country has only been born for more than 20 years. Although Moscow is almost in chaos, there are still large numbers of civilians fleeing through various channels. Even the army did not follow orders completely, and everyone accommodated each other and sent their families out of the city in search of a safe place of refuge.
After all, the tragedy of Stalingrad became known with the end of the battle and the spread of wounded soldiers, and the nightmare that Moscow was about to become the next Stalingrad lingered in everyone's mind. Everyone who has experienced the tragic ruins of the city named after the leader has their own answer, and these answers are actually summed up in only one word - "destruction".
Sending people to Siberia, or simply pulling them out and shooting and hanging them, were terrible punishments, but although they could be obeyed, they could only be feared to intimidate them. Once there is also a terrible problem of opposition, then these people who are intimidated by fear will weigh and hesitate, and they will become vulnerable and uneasy.
At least now, Moscow is a desperate and chaotic city, the officials have no intention of working and have no ability to restrain the Lebanese people, and there are few people who are thinking about the country or the city. After all, this was not the same as the Battle of Moscow in another time and space, when the German army under Moscow was much weaker than it is now, and at that time there were so many troops around Moscow that it was reassuring. The forces around Moscow at this moment were only a hundred thousand people, and they were not at all the opponents of the main forces of the German army.
A waiter ran from office to office in a panic, holding in his arms a stack of papers full of words that needed to be processed, but the entire Kremlin had no intention of meddling in these important matters. It is tall and magnificent, with a remarkable sense of luxury and power.
Soviet officials and generals gathered in the corridors of the palace and whispered about the wolf-like armored units and grenadiers of the Third Reich, dozens of kilometers outside the city, who shook their heads from time to time and sighed, as if they were full of despair about the whole situation.
In contrast, the reconstruction of Kyiv, where Rennes is located, has begun to proceed in an orderly and rapid manner, with flowers and nurses in his ward, and thick and clean quilts. The war seemed to be very far away from him, but his heart was lost on a nameless battlefield at that moment that day.
From time to time, a nimble bird would fall on the windowsill beside the bed, and it would look left and right and sing merrily, and Wren would observe this lovely creature with great interest, and smile knowingly like he had never seen before.
"I really didn't know you had such a kind side. There was no knock at the door, and Wren should have heard the footsteps, but now he was no longer the cold-blooded soldier who went toe-to-toe with Wolf, but a young boy who worried about his comrades. So he didn't care who it was, and the sound of the voice made him stunned.
This voice was really familiar to him, even through the headphones, in the noisy sound of electricity, accompanied by the roar of artillery and the endless nagging of the noisy Bruce Marcus and others, he could still hear the sound.
So he turned back slowly as if he was rusting, as if he was afraid that his movements would be too violent and scare away the people at the door behind him. When his eyes saw the familiar face, the smile on his face, which had been a little stiff with excitement, came back to smile.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. For the rest of his life, Wren's first words to the killing angel were a little unremarkable, but he said his heart unabashedly: "I looked for you, but the front line is too chaotic. โ
"Well......," the girl smiled, and flicked the hair on her forehead with her unbandaged arm. At this moment, she is a little less heroic than sitting in a chariot, but a little more gentle and charming. She took out an old Knight's Iron Cross with oak leaves from her pocket and shook it in front of Wren: "You left it there, it's good that I woke up at the time, otherwise I would have really lost it." โ
Wren nodded and admitted that he had lost something: "Yes, if you have better eyes, I also lost a tank there, I don't know if you picked it up." By the way, there's Bruce, and Andre. โ
Andrey ...... He seriously injured his eye and had to retire. Alice was lonely for a moment when she mentioned her comrades in the crew: "Bu ...... Bruce...... He...... Hit the cervical vertebrae and head and died on the spot. โ
In an instant, the atmosphere in the ward became very cold, very cold. Neither of them spoke again, one looking down at his toes, one turning his head to look out the window at the sun. The world is still beautiful, and the corners without gunpowder are still so bright, but unfortunately, some people will never see these beauty and light again...... Never to be seen again.
