While the German infantry was advancing frantically, the German armored forces were certainly not idle to watch the excitement over there, and when the two King Tiger tanks entered the crossroads one after the other, the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that followed behind also staggered through the dangerous intersection and rushed to the location of the church where it was going to attack.

There are many, many bloody scenes in this world, and among so many scenes, there is definitely one that uses anti-aircraft guns to strafe infantry positions. The dense large-caliber rapid-fire guns destroy the target like a heavy machine gun, and the high penetration ability provided by the ultra-high muzzle velocity allows these 20mm caliber shells to easily penetrate the wall and cause tragic damage to the people inside.

So when the German quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft guns drove directly across from the church, the German troops seemed to have victory in their hands. With a fierce shout of the command, the German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun launched a terrifying attack, and suddenly the outer wall of the church began to fill with white green smoke, and the fragments of the cracked wall flew everywhere, some even splashed on the steel helmets of the German soldiers who had already approached the church.

"Long live the Führer! Attack!" a German soldier rushed into the courtyard of the church with a rifle and a grenade that had been torn off the safety, followed by one German soldier after another, and these elite soldiers covered in dust bent over and ran quickly towards the church that was already emitting smoke.

Passing by a window with shattered glass, the German soldier threw a grenade into the black hole, and after only a second, a huge explosion was heard inside, leaving only the buzzing sound in the ears of the surrounding German soldiers. However, the German soldiers, accustomed to this sound, did not stop their steps, and in order to minimize their exposure time, they approached the main entrance of the church in the shortest possible time.

The gate had been smashed into a sieve by a 20-mm anti-aircraft gun, and the wood had cracked open due to the powerful penetrating force, shattering with the original texture of the original wood with great force, leaking out the original color inside. The Soviet defenders inside had already turned their backs on their backs, and no one cared about whether the gate had been lost or not.

So when the German infantrymen opened the main entrance of the church with the butts of their guns and their boots, they were greeted with a dusty and ruined wooden interior. Most of the chairs and decorations that were originally placed in the church have been destroyed by the baptism of 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

In the midst of this garbage, there were many corpses of the Soviet Red Army, and these poor creatures were hit by ammunition or fragments that had just pierced the wall, and became corpses in the room. At this time, the Germans were not polite, threw several grenades inside, and continued to wait patiently outside for the inside of the church to stir up turbulent waves.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion of a series of grenades once again raised the dust that buried all sight in the whole room, and seven or eight German soldiers, under the cover of this smoke and dust, quickly rushed into the room and occupied a more favorable firing position.

It seems that they heard the noise in the house, or maybe the Soviets had a premonition that their disaster had befallen them, and suddenly a gunshot came from the dust, and then it was followed by intensive fire from both troops. All kinds of weapons fired indiscriminately, tracer bullets shuttled back and forth in the dust, and from time to time there were screams, but it seemed that most of them were called by the Soviets.

Not all of them were treated to move their command from positions at the front, at least not on the part of the USSR. The Cathedral of Archangel Michael was originally the headquarters of General Vatutin, and after he moved away, it was natural that other low-level command structures would be stationed in such a good place.

At the time of the occupation of Marino by the German troops, it was still the headquarters of a Soviet army, and when Vatutin left, the commander of this army was given the task of "preferring death rather than a step back." So until a minute ago, the command of the Soviet Infantry Corps, which was stationed here, had not moved its position.

Because it was a functional nodal hub, in addition to a large number of Soviet soldiers, a house behind the church was also a small field hospital, and there was a warehouse for stockpiling ammunition nearby. Of course, the Soviets also mobilized a lot of soldiers to strengthen the defenses in such an important place, and although these fortifications and troops caused problems for the Germans, it now seems that they have not been able to stop the German attack.

The Soviet commander was originally on the second floor of the church, but at this time, he, his chief of staff, the guards, and other soldiers were hiding in Tibet for the Germans to strafe through the walls. He did not have the ability to find a high-sounding excuse to withdraw his headquarters like Vatutin, so he could only use his own flesh and blood to block the flood of German attacks.

"Upstairs! There's a Soviets upstairs!" "Get ready to take cover!" "The room over there!" "Watch out for grenades!" "Beware of grenades!" At the entrance to the church, the German soldiers shouted in unison, and some German soldiers were trying to find their own cover, while others were a little more courageous, rushing directly into several small rooms on either side with their weapons.

Gunfire came from these small rooms, and it was clear that the people inside were not so friendly to the arrival of the German infantry. When the gunfire stopped, the dull sound of corpses falling to the floor could be heard as German soldiers on both sides of the battleground occupied the vantage ground continued to advance, clearing the Soviet defenders from room to room.

Outside the Migal Cathedral, German soldiers had occupied several nearby buildings, and many Germans had placed new firing points at suitable angles to suppress the two machine-gun emplacements on the top of the church and some Soviet infantry sticking out of the windows. The two sides exchanged frequent fire at close range, with bullets flying back and forth between several buildings, and beneath them, German soldiers occasionally ran quickly through the wide streets.

Several Soviet soldiers were chased by the German troops, ran wildly, and then desperately jumped into a huge crater, turning back and firing fiercely at the German troops. It's a pity that their bullets hit the hull of a advancing assault gun combat vehicle, and apart from hitting sparks, they had no effect at all.

And behind this German modified Leopard assault gun, the German infantry is easily storming the city, and there is a great posture to surround the Archangel Michael's Cathedral. In the midst of the frightened eyes of the defeated Soviet defenders, some German soldiers began to climb over the exterior walls of the church from the side, outflanking the Soviet defenders in the church from behind.

"Comrade commander has already retreated, right?" said a Soviet battalion commander as he straightened the steel helmet above his head and asked his men in the crater. His position had just been broken through by German tanks without much effort, and he was so busy running back that he lost even the radio of his battalion headquarters.

The Soviet soldiers beside him were changing the drums of their Bobosha submachine guns, and while pulling the bolts, they shouted loudly to their battalion commanders: "I don't know! Comrade battalion commander! I didn't see anyone coming out of the church! The Germans were under too much fire! If you don't plan to go back to the church, I think we'd better retreat!"

After hearing this, the battalion commander immediately shook his head. Of course, he didn't want to go back to the church to die, and just a few seconds ago he had seen at least 10 German infantrymen on the other side of the church wall -- to go back at such a time would be to seek his own death! If he could have retreated without the radio, he could have avoided the commander to retreat, and it was not too important to give up something anyway.

So he knocked on the steel helmet of the soldier who was still firing, motioned for him to follow, and then crawled out of the crater from the other direction, braving the hail of bullets flying behind him, and continued to run in the direction of his own people. Behind them, in the crater, because of the panic, and two people did not see that their commander had run away, they opened fire and ran out of bullets, and when they reloaded, they realized that they had been "abandoned".

So they also tried to climb out of the crater, but were hit in the back by German bullets - and escape was sometimes a choice of luck. After all, in the midst of a hail of bullets, unless there is the ability of the hacker empire Riño, who can guarantee that he will not be hit by those bullets flying around?

Inside the church room, on a staircase littered with the corpses of Soviet soldiers, several Soviet soldiers were still firing wildly with their own weapons. They were veterans from the Soviet Navy and were assigned to the infantry side to be used as backbones. Now they showed their toughness, at least the Soviet commanders upstairs, and they didn't have to worry about the soldiers leaving them to surrender or flee.

A Soviet soldier crouched back behind the corpse's bunker, unloaded the depleted submachine gun drum, and felt in his pocket. Then he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He had only one last drum left, but it was clear that the Germans who were going to rush up from downstairs had far more bullets than he had left.

However, he skillfully stuffed the drum into the Bobosha submachine gun, and then resolutely shouted, turned back and poked his head out, and pulled the trigger pressed by his finger at the German infantry who were about to move at the bottom of the stairs. "Suddenly, suddenly!" the sound of gunfire echoed again, and in the background was the Suffering Jesus in the distant hall, riddled with bullet holes.
