Battle of the Third Reich
v4 Chapter 48: King to King (Part 1)
In June, the French land is full of vitality. Those stubborn wild grasses have painted a charming green on the boundless wilderness, and countless unknown wildflowers of different colors have begun to show the world With their charm, they are made up of groups of various patterns and patterns that only they can understand, scattered on the green velvet. With the breeze gently swaying under the bright sunlight, the glory of life, two The yellow earth that was still a desolate month ago was as radiant as a gorgeous Persian carpet.
It is a pity that this pastoral scenery that should be as beautiful and peaceful as the Garden of Eden was destroyed by something that should not exist there. The ugly artifacts, the piles of steel debris, gave this peace The pastoral poems add a discordant note. The twisted, burnt black steel skeleton points to the blue sky in a weird posture.
They are using their own way to remind people of the nightmare battle that happened here not long ago, many warriors have never been able to leave here, various styles of helmets and deep hangs on the top of the cross beside the road The broken rifle inserted into the grave showed everyone the most tragic ending of the game.
This is the terrible mark left by the war on this land, but it is not an indelible mark. Time and the extremely powerful nature will wipe away these marks. As long as more than ten years, this land will restore its original scenery, these foreign objects will also be contained by endless forces of nature, they will become part of nature, become part of the earth, leaving Only those legends and a touch of sorrow that have been modified and twisted.
"About a month ago, a supply convoy of the 41st Armored Army encountered the ambush of British and French troops here. They fought very tenaciously, but there were too many enemies, and all the officers and men stayed here. But they also let hundreds of them The enemy bleeds out the last drop of blood. When the rescue armor of the 41st Panzer Army arrived, the entire convoy was shrouded in burning flames, and the nearby fields were full of entangled corpses and broken weapons. After the incident, they also returned It was discovered that the enemy had wanted to take away the bodies of their soldiers before they left, but they failed." Captain Setthausen, the Lieutenant Lieutenant of the Command of the Corpus Corps, explained to Xu Jun the pile of wreckage outside the car window in a deep tone Origin.
"Why didn't they succeed." After hearing Setterhausen's words, Randolph asked, looking out the window with a solemn expression he had never seen before.
"Because the soldiers held so tightly to each other, our rescue forces had to break their fingers when they wanted to separate the entangled bodies. On some bodies, we found that the fingers had been pulled hard The traces indicate that the enemy also thought of separating them, but for some reason, they did not succeed."
"Oh..." Randolph nodded and said nothing again.
"This is our soldiers, their firm fighting will and their unparalleled spirit of sacrifice will always be recited by our children and grandchildren. I am proud that we have such great soldiers, and it is impossible to find them like them in the world. Great warrior." Daogen sighed on the side.
"Maybe there is an army whose fighting beliefs can be compared with them..." Xu Jun murmured with a deep gaze at the cross passing by the car window.
"What? Do you know which other army's fighting will can be compared with the soldiers lying here? Your Excellency Marshal." Dao Gen looked suspiciously at Xu Jun.
"I know there is an army that is as stubborn as this, in my memory..." Xu Jun did not continue, he turned his face out of the window.
Yes, Setterhausen's description made him feel so familiar. In that time and space, that era, that army's ability to create miracles on the battlefield and the spirit they showed had completely surpassed all European counterparts. on. Maybe everyone will know this army and their prestige in the near future, but for Xu Jun now, he can only bury him in his heart as a precious memory, because he is too far away from home.
Seeing Xu Jun's reluctance to continue, Dou Gen swallowed the question he just wanted to ask back, and he turned to look out the window on his side. He has always regarded himself as the most standard soldier. He knows when he can ask questions and what questions should be asked. According to the current situation, the best performance of a soldier is to shut up.
"My marshal, there are still more than thirty kilometers away from the destination. I think you can close your eyes and rest a little bit. You haven't closed your eyes all night." Hans' words broke the dignified atmosphere in the car.
Xu Jun turned his head and smiled at his loyal adjutant. He nodded and replied: "Well, I suddenly feel a little tired now. I want to take a break. Setterhausen, please wake up before you arrive. I."
"Observe, Marshal."
Hans and Randolph quickly drew the thick curtains. The strong sunlight reflected a dark dark green color in the car through the curtains. Xu Jun closed his eyes with the soft headrest, and his adjutants They also lowered their heads and closed their eyes to raise a god.
They had been driving all night, and they had to stop Hitler before he could reach Liz. According to intelligence, Hitler's convoy has started to move. Although it has maintained a consistent slowness, from the direction of its progress, the destination must be Liz. The German head of state is firmly moving towards the a group army headquarters Slowly approach.
However, although the road was only over 80 kilometers long, it was completely destroyed by the fighting in the previous period. That kind of bad road will make the already slow head team become more dull, according to Kate It is estimated by Hitler that Hitler may not be able to move faster than walking.
Despite this, there is not much time left for Xu Jun. According to the plan, he must stop the man before he enters the Lisi garrison line, and he must also resolve the battle in the shortest time and evacuate at the fastest speed, and Everything that needs to be done is like being attacked by the remaining troops hidden by the enemy. This will be a very difficult test for Xu Jun.
Considering combat effectiveness, confidentiality, and loyalty, Xu Jun decided to select a unit from his 6th Motorized Infantry Regiment to complete this task. Now this motorized infantry regiment has not only been fully mechanized, but also some second-tier armored units have been strengthened. Of course, it is impossible to be a heavy equipment such as a tank. They are basically only light armored vehicles, but this has made his firepower far above the other ranks of the German army.
Because of the need to maintain speed in this operation, it is impossible to bring all the regiment. Xu Jun only selected almost one battalion of infantry and a company of armored reconnaissance vehicles to participate in the operation, but even if it is a battalion, Xu Jun also has enough confidence Solve all the guards of the man. The Sixth Infantry Regiment followed him through countless **** battles. These soldiers were elites trained from the battlefield by fighting again and again. It was not that Hitler’s paper talker had not participated in a battle. The rookie guard can fight.
Now the soldiers of this battalion are sitting on their respective 251 armored personnel carriers or Mercedes-Benz two-ton off-road trucks at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and there are six Macerus version 231 type six wheels in front of and behind the convoy. Armored reconnaissance vehicles, which are responsible for guarding both ends and flanks of the convoy.
The 20mm machine guns on these armored vehicles can solve any infantry unit that has no armored forces and heavy firepower, and Hitler’s current guard is exactly such a force. They only brought two light 37mm anti-tank guns, and the rest All are just some light weapons. Xu Jun has predicted that this battle will be a chaotic encounter. In this operation, these armored vehicles will become the main force of the attack. Although the armor is slightly thinner, it can use its speed advantage to make up for the lack of protection. , And the intensive firepower it possesses will become a nightmare for all the soldiers of the Headquarters who dare to block it in front of it.
The infantry of the 6th Infantry Regiment will cooperate with these armored vehicles to launch attacks against each other. In addition to covering those armored vehicles, they will also have the task of encircling and suppressing the remaining enemies. They will follow these armored vehicles to launch Hitler's convoy. Final shock and cleanup.
All the soldiers knew what they were going to do this time, and they all understood that their muzzle was aimed at the person who had sworn allegiance this time. But none of the soldiers showed any slight hesitation, because they now have more worthy of allegiance. For their great commander, even if they faced a divine God, they would kill without hesitation.
A terrible murderous air pervaded the convoy, and the soldiers were simmered by the blood of the upcoming battle. But no matter how excited they were, they would not show up from the outside. They were battle-hardened veterans. Unless in front of their most beloved commander, they will not show any real emotions to outsiders, they will act like a hard rock and serious and ruthless at any time and anywhere.
Except for the watchman and the machine gunner, all the soldiers sat silently in their seats and looked at the front. All they saw in their eyes were the equally firm pupils of their comrades sitting opposite them.
"Marshal, we are almost there." Setterhausen opened the curtains between the front and rear seats.
"Oh... is it? Where are we now?" Xu Jun opened his eyes and asked with his stretched waist.
"It's almost Bettina."
"Okay, we should have rushed to the front of that person now, and stopped at the intersection of the highway. We will make the final allocation. Let the soldiers prepare for the battle. From there, we may encounter it at any time. Team, I hope to end the battle as smoothly as planned." Xu Jun said as he opened the curtain on his side and looked out to the field outside the window.
"What are those things?"
Xu Jun found that a strange-shaped thin wooden pile or something that looks like a wooden pile was erected on a field not far from the road, because some of the twisted shapes of the wooden piles did not seem to be naturally formed.
These things caused Xu Jun's curiosity, because he had never seen the same scene before. These wooden piles are arranged in a line, each of which is about five or six meters apart, and they are divided into several rows. It seems to be a certain situation. From the appearance, Xu Jun can't really guess what it is for.
"Ah, are you talking about those stakes?" Setterhausen asked.
"Yes, what is it for."
"Oh, those are the remnants of the last war. Behind those wooden piles are the trench positions constructed by the French in the last war, and those wooden piles were the piles with barbed wire." Setterhausen's expression with emotion .
"Really? I have never seen this kind of scene. It seems that the French had exerted a lot of energy." Xu Jun didn't expect to see the remains of the battlefield during World War I. Looking at the stakes, he Imagine in my mind that the young German soldiers with their rifles stumbled towards the dense barbed wire with their rifles more than two decades ago. It was a tragic suicide.
"Oh, there are a lot less here now. Because many piles are made of metal, the French government has recycled those metal piles, and now only those wooden piles are left. Although there are still some metal piles, that is also the case. Because the texture has been destroyed by gunfire, it was left behind."
Setterhausen finished and pointed to the window on the other side. "There are the same piles over there, but there are the positions we built during the last war. The frontier positions on both sides are less than a kilometer away. What a hard battle our predecessors fought."
"is it?"
Xu Jun quickly turned to look out the window on the other side. Indeed, the same rows of wooden piles were erected at a position about the same distance from the highway. It seems that the highway just passed through the middle of the positions on both sides.
Xu Jun looked back and looked at the remains of the battlefield not far away. He has finally identified some fortifications. Because those places are now covered with green grass and wildflowers, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t really see the past. It is a military fort that has cost countless people. Most people may think that it is just a few small natural slopes or irrigation canals.
Suddenly, Xu Jun vaguely saw a few figures on the French site ruins in front of him, and then a small bright spot flashed on a small earth slope. Xu Jun felt a trembling heart, an ominous heart. His hunch filled his whole body.
"Something is wrong, there..." Xu Jun shouted in that direction.
But before he had finished speaking, a fierce gunfire had already sounded from the window, and a series of bright tracers flew over the convoy like rain.
"ambush!"
Hans rushed to Xu Jun, he pressed Xu Jun under the seat, and then covered his marshal with his body.
Dense machine gun bullets hit a luxury Mercedes-Benz's bullet-proof body with a series of "smooth" sounds that made the scalp tingle, and the bullet-proof glass of the windows was also covered with snowflake-like bullet marks in an instant.
"Protect Marshal!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Quick stop!"
Xu Jun’s lieutenants shrank to the floor of the car to avoid windows that could be penetrated at any time, and they shouted loudly.
"Don't stop! Rush over."
Xu Jun shouted this last sound, and he finally struggled to get rid of his head under the suppression of Hans. At this glance, if you know that there is a premeditated ambush position, stopping is simply looking for death. The only way to escape the crisis is to rush out of the enemy's ambush circle at the highest speed.
The fierce gunfire was still ringing. A Mercedes-Benz troop carrier in front of the car did not have any bulletproof capabilities. It was immediately screened by dense bullets, and the soldiers on the car were like a truck in a flash. They were hit with hundreds of holes, and they were killed in their seats before they could react. And the driver of the truck failed to escape the same end. The truck lost control and rushed towards the side of the road. It drove the entire tail across the middle of the road.
Xu Jun’s driver quickly applied the brakes at the first sight. The car screamed and stopped almost two meters away from the truck. The huge inertia caused the officers in the car to roll around.
But the disaster did not pass. A Type 232 armored communication vehicle immediately behind Xu Jun's car failed to have time to brake. It slammed into Xu Jun's car from behind. This does not count. The driver of the armored vehicle was nervous at the time and wanted to avoid it. He turned the steering wheel to the right. As a result, it not only hit Xu Jun’s car, but also hit the luxury car off the shoulder. The **** on the side of the road slid into the gutter on the side of the road, and it leaned against the side of the road and slumped.
The vehicles of the front team stopped quickly after seeing what happened in the back, and the vehicles behind were also chaotic due to this sudden situation, but finally there was no more unfortunate accident like Xu Jun. The ambushers finally reached their first goal, and they successfully stopped the team. However, from the point of view that they continue to shoot at the team crazy, their purpose is very clear, that is to completely wipe out this team.
After the vehicle stopped, the uninjured soldiers quickly jumped from their respective cars. They rushed towards the side of the road with a locust-like bullet, and their experience of a hundred battles made them fail to deal with this. Panic panics. The soldiers jumped off the gutter on the side of the road. They used the ditch as a temporary trench to raise their weapons and fought back to the enemies in the distance who were shooting wildly at themselves.
The armored vehicles also responded to the panic. They turned the turret and began to pour 20mm high-explosive shells towards the ambushers. Due to the fierce firepower of these armored vehicles, the other party's shooting was suppressed at once, and the team finally stabilized their position.
Everyone's heart was now pressed against a big rock, and several officers ran along the sewer desperately leaning against the sewer by the sewer.
The soldiers all prayed for their commanders to be safe. They turned this anxiety into anger against the attackers. They all vowed secretly, regardless of whether the commander had anything to do, just for those sacrificed comrades They must let those guys taste the consequences of doing so, and make those guys regret coming to this world.
