Chapter 246
"Boom......!" With a loud bang, the huge body of the leading tank was blown up more than two meters high, and then fell heavily on the side of the road.
With this loud bang, countless Polish soldiers emerged from the grass and woods on the edge of the roadbed.
They howled and pounced on the tanks, some with bundles of grenades, some with explosives packs, and pounced on the Ming tanks like hungry wolves.
The vanguard tanks were attacked, and the Ming army reacted quite quickly. All the tanks reversed, twisting the turrets at the same time, firing heavily with the side-by-side machine guns above.
The Polish soldiers who had just come out were knocked down!
Soon, the fierce commanders also stood up.
They opened the top of the tank, wielded a 12.7mm machine gun, and fired at all the black shadows.
Wherever the grass is blown twice by the wind, it will be fired by machine-gun bullets.
That's how the Ming army fights, no matter how many of you there are, where are you hiding!
Anyway, as long as it's a target, search for it with a bullet first.
This habit is a bit of a waste of bullets, but in many cases, it can save the lives of soldiers.
The 12.7 mm heavy machine gun had a disadvantage, that is, the fixed gun carriage had a dead angle for firing.
The Demomen, who were lying in ambush under the roadbed, took advantage of this gap and stuffed explosive packs and bundles of grenades under the tanks.
With one explosion, many tanks were blown up and set on fire. With the help of the firelight, the Polish soldiers in the distance could calmly shoot the Ming soldiers who escaped from the tank.
For a time, more than ten Ming soldiers were shot and killed. The rest hid behind the tanks and returned fire with their Arka rifles and pistols.
The vanguard composed of more than 10 tanks suffered heavy losses in just a few minutes before and after.
Most of them were lost by tanks alone, and only two tanks managed to retreat back to back.
Beckoning to the other tankers, trying to get closer.
The tankers kept firing back with their small arms, and they ran to the tanks to resist the attack of the Polish infantry.
However, the Polish infantry was outnumbered, and they were like wolves, appearing in the grass by the roadside.
It was too dark to see people from fifty meters away. However, the Polish army could use the flames of the tanks to see clearly the Ming soldiers who were still resisting.
In the darkness, bullets continued to shoot out, hitting the Ming soldiers on their backs.
After only twenty minutes of fighting, the Ming tankmen lost seven, seven, eight, eight.
Fortunately, there were still two tanks that could fight, which barely blocked the attack of the Polish army.
"Not good!" The commander, who was sticking his head out of the car and constantly strafing with his 12.7 mm machine gun, suddenly saw a bright spot coming straight for the tank.
That's a shell, a shell!
"Boom!" Before his words could land, the shell plunged headlong into the tank.
The shell exploded, and the turret was lifted into the air.
", Eighty-Eight Cannon!" The tank commander shouted in horror.
Before he could finish speaking, a cannonball flew through the woods again.
Polish army shooters, delighted to see the burning tanks in the distance.
This was their first actual battle, but they did not expect to achieve such a result. Just set up the eighty-eight guns, and killed two Ming tanks at once.
"Franz, hurry up and call the command to tell us that we have annihilated more than a dozen tanks of the Ming army." Regiment Commander Albright said excitedly to the Chief of Staff.
The last time he faced the Ming army, he was still a small company commander, and he escaped by hiding in the woods because he was clever.
In that battle of Smolensk, almost all the rank and file officers of the Polish army died.
So, Albleck, who escaped the catastrophe, became the head of the regiment.
He never dreamed that this position, which usually required to be promoted for more than ten years, was obtained by himself all at once.
Now, I have made a great contribution. A dozen tanks were annihilated here!
As far as he knew, this was the first time that the coalition forces had formed a tank unit to annihilate the Ming army.
The soldiers were shouting and charging, ready to deal with the remaining Ming tankmen.
He had given the order to catch as many mouths alive as he could. At this time, the living mouth is far more important than a corpse.
Those Ming soldiers still hid behind the burning tanks and resisted stubbornly.
The Polish army charged twice, but they were held back.
Albright was a little anxious, and he decided to send someone to attack again, this time to kill these Ming tankmen, whether they lived or died.
Because the roar of tank engines was already heard in the distance!
As the Polish soldiers charged, the distant roar of tank engines came closer.
"Boom!" A flare rose into the sky, and the Polish troops, charging in the dark, suddenly appeared like lice on the bald head.
The follow-up troops of the Ming army, artillery and machine guns were on together. A whole company of Polish troops was immediately caught in the thick of artillery fire.
In particular, the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun fired short shots one after another, and the Polish troops were immediately shot on their backs.
"Eighty-eight cannons! Eighty-eight cannons! Albright shouted.
Those eighty-eight artillery pieces had just entered the position and had just fired two Chinese tanks in a row, and that was because the distance was only more than 300 meters.
But now, at a distance of 1,200 meters, the shooters of the 88 guns were exposed.
The 88 guns fired two rounds in a row, but none of them hit the target.
Another gun fired three shots, but one of them hit, but it was unlucky and flew out of the turret of the Ming tank.
"Eighty-eight cannons!" The commander of the Ming tank roared and immediately fired fiercely into the forest with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.
The tracer bullet formed a spear and threw it into the woods.
Immediately afterwards, the Ming tankers opened fire one after another.
The shells rained down on the tracer bullets, and soon there were explosions one after another.
"Boom......!" A violent explosion directly lifted the two 88 cannons into the sky.
The ammunition of the eight or eight guns was detonated!
**************************
Minsk! Inside the command of the Polish army!
"Good news, Commander. Our troops ambushed the Ming outpost and have now annihilated that force.
Those abandoned tanks blocked the main road, and it was difficult for the Ming army to come from the main road again.
They can only walk through the fields on both sides, and their march will be much slower. Kravchuk excitedly ran over to report to Budoldowski.
"Really?" Budoldowski was so happy that the back of his head bloomed, even if he lost some troops, as long as he annihilated the armored forces of the Ming army, he would be a great achievement.
"Really! The battle report that had just come from the front line showed that the 901st Regiment had annihilated a tank column of the Ming army. There are a dozen tanks! ”
Kravchuk was also excited!
This was the first time that a coalition force had succeeded in annihilating more than ten tanks.
"Okay, get the news back to Warsaw. As soon as the German Allies arrived, we began to counterattack.
The Ming army came from afar, and they must have been exhausted. As long as we delay their attack, we can destroy them.
I want to see who said that the armored forces of the Ming army are invincible. Budoldowski scratched his head excitedly.
Even though there was not much hair left on his head, he kept scratching it.
"Commander, it's almost dawn." Kravchuk glanced helplessly at the wall clock.
It's 4:48 a.m.!
In this season, it usually dawns around five o'clock.
Although Budoldowski and Kravchuk had begged God to give them a cloudy morning.
But they apparently didn't pray very reverently, or God was asleep and didn't hear their prayers.
At 4:57 a.m., when the front-line battle was at its most intense, the sky began to show a touch of fish belly white.
Soon, the white of the fish belly slowly spread, until the sky was lit up into a blue curtain all day.
"It's too bright!"
"yes, it's dawn!"
Budoldowski and Kravchuk stood in front of the window disappointed, the weather was very good today. There was not even a single cloud in the sky, and the whole canopy hung high in the sky like a blue curtain, enveloping everything in the world.
When the day came, the superiority of the Polish army was almost lost.
The Polish soldiers who were in ambush in the grass or in the woods were exposed.
The self-propelled guns accompanying the Ming army began to unfold. Two thousand meters away, they accurately bombarded all the exposed targets of the Poles.
Some of the eight or eight guns tried to counterattack, but at a distance of two thousand meters, it was almost impossible to hit the first shot.
As long as any of the eight or eight cannons dared to fire, the artillery fire of the Ming army would immediately fly over like locusts.
With a burst of explosions on the ground, the eight or eight cannons will be torn to shreds by the violent explosion.
On several occasions, the detonated ammunition directly blew the gunners into the air thirty or forty meters high.
The gunners were in the air, still waving their teeth and claws. But when he fell to the ground, he was either impaled through the body by a branch, or he was thrown to the point that he did not have two intact bones.
The guns rumbled here, and the machine guns rang out over there.
Constant Polish soldiers, intending to approach the Ming army.
But they were constantly blocked by the Ming army's 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and the shooters of the Ming army's 12.7 mm heavy machine guns were very accurate.
They could even shoot Polish soldiers in short points at a distance of more than a kilometer.
And the Polish soldiers opposite them, simply could not do this.
At 5:15 a.m., the sky was already bright, and the sun was showing a little above the horizon.
A detachment of German soldiers marched into Minsk.
"Look, our reinforcements are coming. Germans, Germans! The Polish soldiers defending the city shouted excitedly at the Germans.
Many people also whistled, and the whistles were incessant, and groups of German soldiers marched into Minsk in a neat procession.
There are a lot of people, too many!
There is almost no end in sight on the main road!
Budoldowski and Kravchuk also saw it, and they hurriedly put on their military jackets, and tidied up their military appearance in front of the huge dressing mirror, and walked out of the command post.
They are going to meet the German General Rundstedt in person!
This is a legendary figure, who is said to have been nothing more than a colonel when he first entered the war. Now, he is already a lieutenant general.
Although his rank was one level higher than that of Rundstedt, Budoldowski did not mind greeting the Germans who had come to his aid at a critical moment with great courtesy.
There were a lot of German troops entering the city, and after the good German army entered the city, it seemed that there was a plan to march towards the Polish military camp.
They occupied traffic junctions, as well as some dangerous points, which were also occupied by the Germans.
Even though they had Polish soldiers around them, the Germans didn't care to set up their machine guns.
More and more Germans poured into Minsk, and later, there was a feeling that the whole of Minsk was German.
Budoldowski and Kravchuk just watched, he didn't quite understand what was going on.
"Could it be that the Germans understood, they understood that it was to help us defend Minsk, and not to go to the outskirts to fight in the field to annihilate the Ming army." Kravchuk said with some confusion.
"It's very likely, Kravchuk, you go to the German officers and ask when General Rundstedt will arrive.
We need them to attack the Ming army in the field, and not to help us defend Minsk. Budoldowski looked at Kravchuk with some dissatisfaction, this guy must have not made it clear to the Allies.
"Okay!" Kravchuk was also helpless, and he made it very clear to General Rundstedt on the phone.
Why did the Germans enter Minsk? Looking at this appearance, it seems to have the meaning of taking over Minsk.
The sun came out, and the golden light of ten thousand rays reflected the sky in an instant. The golden light was soft and didn't seem to be too harsh.
Kravchuk took the men with him, and when he saw the Germans, he inquired about where their commander was.
After meeting several captains, majors, and the like in a row, he finally saw a colonel officer.
"Colonel!" Kravchuk saluted the colonel.
The colonel looked at Kravchuk very rudely, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Colonel, where are your superiors, and where is General Rundstedt?" Kravchuk looked at the colonel with some annoyance.
"Our general is still outside the city, we were ordered to take Minsk. During this period, we will use weapons no matter where we are hindered.
Come on, get their guns off! The colonel said coldly, and the wolf-like Germans behind them swarmed up, and before Kravchuk and his guards could draw their guns, they were already pressed to the ground.
"Bastard! You bastards, I'm going to General Rundstedt to sue you.
You bastards! Kravchuk struggled, but unfortunately he was no longer a young man, no match for the burly German GIs.
"Go into the city, take over the defense of the Polish army, order them to lay down their guns. Those who disobey are shot! The German colonel stood at the gate and gave the order loudly.
