Chapter 923 924 Obituary

Accardo felt sad when he walked out of the ward, and the people he knew left him one after another, such as the old man "Poison" on both sides of him, such as the Streismann who changed his fate but died in a plane crash, Hitler, who was his enemy but was famous in the depths of his memory, and General Sickert, who was once his boss but eventually died in a foreign land, and now, there is another kind old man - August......

These people are gone, they are far away from him. Accardo is becoming more and more like a lone dancer, performing the passion of his life on the stage of the world war for those who have left the stage. He didn't know if there would be someone else who would continue to perform for him when he left the stage.

While Accardo was grieving for those who had left, the Führer seemed to forget that there were many, many people whom he did not even know, whom he had never met, whom he had thrown into the most brutal battlefields, where they became cold corpses one after another. These people died without a Führer sitting by their side, and no one of their relatives dragging their palms.

In fact, at such a time, it is already a different kind of happiness to be able to lie on the hospital bed and die peacefully. Because many people die with corpses or cold earth. When you die, you don't need to look for your arms or intestines, it's already a gift from God.

So, while Accardo was mourning for those he knew, countless German grenadiers were facing enemy bullets. The tracks of Soviet tanks rolled up dirt and ran over them, and everywhere there was the whistling of bullets and the sound of shells exploding.

In the distance, a shell flew rapidly, and then destroyed a Soviet KV-1 tank that was crossing the trench. The huge explosion knocked the Germans in the surrounding trenches to the trenches, and everyone's eardrums were buzzed by the loud noise.

Before hearing could be restored, while the tinnitus was still persisting, some Soviet soldiers jumped into the trenches, and they pounced on the staggering German soldiers with their mouths wide open, holding Mosin Nagant rifles with bayonets inserted.

Before he could climb off the ground, a German grenadier lay on his back and began to strafe his MP-44 assault rifle, beating the Soviet soldiers next to him into the trenches. Behind him, another Soviet soldier climbed into the trench and was also hit by a German shot not far away.

More Soviet troops rushed up, a German soldier pulled the safety ring of the grenade, and then threw the grenade into the trench that was already full of Soviet troops in the distance, with a loud bang, the sand was splashed very high, and then everyone's tinnitus continued, and still could not hear what the friendly troops around them were shouting.

The grenadier struggled to get up from the bottom of the trench, then pushed off the magazine on his assault rifle and pulled a new one from his tactical vest on his chest, which slammed into the gun with a skillful click. Then he pulled the bolt hard, and a bullet was pushed into the chamber of the gun, and he was in a state of standby to shoot.

He picked up his gun, then leaned against the wall of the trench, stood up sharply, and pulled the trigger pressed by his finger in the direction of the enemy. Then the muzzle of his gun burst into flames, and bullet casings flew out of the shell window one after another, and landed on the ground in front of him and by the side of his worn-out boots.

Bullets flew out of the muzzle of his gun, knocking down the Soviet Red Army soldiers who were already close at hand, one by one. Some of these Soviet soldiers were shot in the knee, some were shot in the stomach, and they fell indiscriminately. Because there was no time to aim, this strafing shot only created a wounded wounded soldier for the opponent.

Without the slightest hesitation, the German grenadiers retreated into the trenches, then removed one of the two grenades hanging from their chests and pulled the safety ring on it. Then he threw the grenade out of his trench without looking, and then covered his ears.

"Boom!" another explosion and dust flew everywhere again, because he blocked his ears, which had been buzzing a moment ago, finally regained some function, and he heard the shouts of friendly troops in the trenches, and the howls and screams of the Soviets not far away.

"Hans, I need reinforcements!" In the distance of the trenches, in the chaotic German positions, someone shouted to his companions. But the answer to his cry was "Bastard! Which Hans are you looking for!"

There are so many Hans here, there are wounded Hans, there are dead Hans, and there are Hans who are firing fiercely at the enemy - if there is more name on this battlefield than this damn name, it is none other than "Ivan" in the Soviet army opposite.

As the Soviet KV-1 tank not far from them was destroyed, a German Leopard slowly drove out from the side of the roadbed in the distance. The German defenses in the vicinity were stabilized by the arrival of armored troops, and the Soviet offensive was contained.

Many Soviet soldiers who had already rushed into the trenches were still fighting the Germans for their positions repeatedly, and some German soldiers were killed by the superior Soviet troops in their foxholes and trenches, and Soviet light machine guns began to roar in the German trenches, and the soldiers on both sides exchanged fierce fire at close range.

Time passed backwards little by little, and as the second German tank appeared on the position, the Soviets knew that this attack was probably not going to be successful. Because their tanks were destroyed one after another, the battlefield was littered with the wreckage of destroyed Soviet tanks.

Although the Soviet Red Army struggled to catch up with the Germans in the three major performance indicators of tanks, and did give birth to the more advanced T-34 tank and Stalin, these tanks were still a minority, and could only be equipped with the most elite armored units. Therefore, most of the Soviet armored forces are still using outdated modified KV-1 tanks and T-26s, which has also become an important basis for the German army to distinguish the elite level of the Soviet army.

Guderian's unit was the most elite of the German army, and in addition to some of the ones temporarily assigned to him, he had about 1,000 tanks of various types. Now, because of the northward attack, a number of independent tank destroyer battalions and some surrounding armored divisions have been temporarily deployed to him, allowing him to command a large armored battle of 1,700 tanks.

With so many armored forces, this German army was not suitable for defensive operations in terms of composition. Guderian also did not intend to retreat behind defensive positions and passively resist the attack of the Soviet Red Army. He planned to speed up the transition between attack and defense on the entire battlefield, so that everyone could attack each other in sports warfare.

It's like two boxers who only know how to attack, they both give up their defenses and keep attacking to take out their opponents first. Therefore, the entire battlefield is full of collisions between the two forces, and everyone only builds simple defensive positions, and then waits for the opponent to break through or break through the opponent's simple defensive positions.

However, because of the disadvantage in terms of troops, the German army began to slowly become passive in the attack, and in most cases invested in the defense of armored forces, and rarely carried out counterattacks by armored forces - this is also Guderian's deliberate change of rhythm, he knew that the Soviet army would inevitably choose to attack, so he began to delay with a defense with fewer casualties.

People who do not know the achievements of the German armored forces in defensive operations in another time and space will not know the terrible German armored forces in defensive battles. The commanders of these elite armored units knew when and where they should be on the battlefield, and often played exaggerated records against the Soviets by more than a dozen to zero.

With the entry of the German Leopard tanks, the remaining tank units of the Soviet army began to retreat, and under the cover of smoke, the follow-up Soviet infantry also began to retreat, and the Soviet troops on the German positions collapsed because of this retreat, and they fought desperately but could only watch their friendly troops retreat, and were finally annihilated by the German troops on the position.

The German grenadier kicked the Soviet soldier lying on his feet, allowing his toes to shake twice to the rhythm of his kick, then he withdrew from the magazine on his weapon and stuck a new one into the gun. This time, however, he did not immediately pull the bolt of his rifle, but leaned against the wall of the trench with his rifle.

"Gather the magazines under your feet! Find as many useful supplies as you can. The platoon commander and the company commander shouted loudly at the end of the battle, this is the homework that the Germans must do, similar to cleaning the battlefield. This saves a lot of material and saves the rear side from wasting valuable raw materials on consumables.

Compared with the United States, which is really wealthy, although the German army has won a complete victory in combat effectiveness, it has to adhere to the style of economy in some details. After all, Germany is not as good as the United States at this stage in many things, so these details are more distinctive and more important.

"This is not the main force of the other side, I think their main force should be on the flank. In the headquarters of a mechanized division near the front line, a staff officer pointed to the defensive front of his army and said to his superior, the division commander: "The news just passed back that the Soviet army only had KV-1 and a small number of T-34s when it attacked, so it is necessary for us to warn the friendly troops on the flank." ”

"Yes, do what you want. Send a telegram to the nearby troops, informing them that our side has routed the enemy's attack. The division commander stared at the map with his hands behind his back, and then, for some reason, he suddenly said to the chief of staff who was about to get out of the command car: "The domestic radio station has just announced the news that the former Imperial Prime Minister Augustus died of illness yesterday. ”
