Battle of the Third Reich
v4 Chapter 49: King to King (middle)
The officers hurried to the car leaning on the gutter. They were anxious to know the current status of the important passengers in the car.
But before they approached, the door slammed like a piece of cheese flicked open with a crunch of "Dang", and a well-lit military boot appeared in front of all officers.
Then, their respected Major Randolph rolled out of the carriage and planted into the bottom of the ditch in a standard dog nibbling posture. Fortunately, it has not been raining for dozens of days here, and the thick silt at the bottom of the ditch was dried into a dry soil block by strong sunlight, otherwise Major Randolph's end will be very promising. Before Randolph stood up, Colonel Dougan had jumped out of the car. The colonel's posture was very neat, revealing a well-trained and lean taste, but unfortunately he jumped to the back of Major Randolph who just wanted to stand up, and the two SS officers rolled up in the bottom of the ditch.
"Sir Dougan, Sir Randolph!"
The officers finally reacted after being stunned. They rushed forward to support the two superiors who were struggling at the bottom of the ditch.
"My Excellency Marshal! Are you okay." There were several officers who looked at the car with the door open.
"It's okay, you give way."
Xu Jun's words relieved everyone at the time. The officers quickly made room for them, and Xu Jun stooped and jumped out of the car. Immediately at the door was Hans. He dragged Setterhausen with a head injury. Several non-commissioned officers hurriedly helped the general to drag their liaison officer out of the car.
"It's too embarrassing." Xu Jun said, looking at the sifted car and shaking his head. "It seems that I'm still too weak."
At this time, a series of bullets screamed over the people's heads and hit the roadbed on the other side. The collapsed pieces of dust and dust fell on their heads like rain. This scene reminded everyone present that they had not Out of danger, they are being attacked by the enemy.
"Hans! Dougan! You follow me. Randolph, you take a squad of soldiers there to build a machine gun shooting point, try to suppress the other party's attack on this." Xu Jun pointed to the roadbed not far away A drainage culvert ordered.
"Observe, Marshal."
Randolph saluted Xu Jun and led a dozen soldiers with machine guns toward the culvert.
Then Xu Jun turned his head and said to the low-ranking officers: "Report to me the loss and the enemy situation reconnaissance immediately. Captain Lanson."
Captain Lanson, the deputy commander of the 1st Battalion of the Sixth Motorized Infantry Regiment, reported quickly: "The loss is still under investigation, but according to the intelligence analysis we have now, we are opposite a German armed force, and we cannot yet find out Which unit is the opponent?"
"We have organized a counterattack." A battalion deputy added.
"understood."
Xu Jun lay down on the ditch, and Lanson quickly took off his telescope and handed it over. Xu Jun took the telescope and began to observe the position of the attacker opposite. The other officers also carried their telescopes beside their commanders and looked at the enemies not far away.
"It seems there are a lot of people on the other side." Dogen said with a frown.
"It seems that there is a battalion. I didn't see any heavy weapons."
"Only more than 500 meters on the front, the machine guns are very densely fired, and the distribution is very reasonable. It seems to be a regular army." Hans nodded affirmatively.
Although the opponent’s firepower has been suppressed by the armored car’s cannon, the muzzle flames in the flash of the machine shells and the rising dust on the opposite side can be seen. The attacker still retains a strong fighting will. They have no idea of retreating from this battle. The dense bullets fired from the opposite side raised a dust near the gutter, and some small pieces of rubble and soil even collapsed into Xu Jun's hands holding the telescope.
"It is indeed the German ** team. The strange thing is why they did not use heavy weapons." Xu Jun retracted the gutter, and the commanders under his serious opponent said: "Now don't consider the identity of the other party, we To organize an attack, these attackers must be eliminated in the shortest time. What do you think."
"Everything is subject to your arrangements." The officers answered in unison.
"Well, we are in a very unfavorable position now. This ditch is too shallow and too narrow. Fortunately, the other party does not use heavy weapons, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses. Now how many of our troops are fighting."
"There was a company behind us, and the front team had half a company. We also had two company infantry and a platoon of mortarmen blocked behind. The ditch was too narrow to allow us to deploy these forces from the front, now Their position cannot attack each other." Lanson replied.
"Lanson, order the mortars to line up behind the road to build a shooting position, let them wait for my order to launch the artillery bombardment."
"Observe, Marshal."
Xu Jun turned his head and said to Hans: "Hans, you go to the former team now, where the battle is under your command, waiting for my order."
"Yes, Marshal." Hans nodded, and then the bottom of the sedan car that had drilled through the stump stooped and ran down the ditch to the forward team position.
"Dougan, I will leave it to you here. You are responsible for the operations of the frontal position and try to attract the other party's firepower, but pay attention to safety."
"Understood, Marshal."
"Signal!" Xu Jun shouted loudly.
"Yes, Marshal." The communications soldier carrying the radio hurried over from the side.
"Is the communication of each company smooth now? Can you contact the armored reconnaissance company."
"Yes, sir. All communication is smooth." The communication soldier quickly removed the headset and handed it to Xu Jun.
"Lieutenant Rexter, Lieutenant Rexter. I am Marshal Reinhardt."
"I'm Rexter, sir. It's great to hear your voice. Are you okay?" Rexter, the deputy company commander of the Armored Reconnaissance Company, had a loud and clear voice in his headphones.
"Yes, I'm okay, I didn't even hurt my hair. How is your situation now?"
Xu Jun's energetic face emerged in his mind. As a newly promoted officer of the 7th Armored Division, the deputy company commander used his enthusiasm and bravery to gain the respect and affection of all his men. Xu Jun considered here After the completion of the operation, he was transferred to the official position.
"We are suppressing each other's firepower. We are doing very well here without any loss. However, our armored vehicles in the rear team are still unable to enter the battle and their position cannot shoot at the enemy. I have ordered them to leave the road and reinforce the frontal battlefield. I am waiting for your further instructions. I ask you to agree to us launching a charge with the syndicate."
Rexter’s armored vehicles have turned around to face each other’s shots with frontal armor. Six 20mm machine guns and 7.92mm machine guns fired back and forth at the attacker’s position with intensive firepower. Where did the shells hit? Shooting over there will stop, but when the artillery is transferred to the next target, the original target will resume shooting.
Suppressing a trench with a length of more than 500 meters with six 20-mm machine guns is indeed a stretch. So he hopes to use one charge to completely solve the enemy in that trench. However, without the command of the superior commander, Rexter did not dare to launch an offensive casually, because the infantry are now covered by his firepower. If he leaves the road without authorization and causes losses to the infantry, he cannot afford this responsibility. .
"I agree with you. You continue to suppress each other's firepower, order the rear armored vehicles to stop, and wait for my order to launch an offensive." Xu Jun is very satisfied with the performance of this subordinate. This is indeed the end of this stupid shooting. The easiest way.
Now the situation of the entire battlefield has clearly emerged in Xu Jun's mind. Except for the terrain, neither the firepower nor the number of opponents have an advantage. This will be a very boring battle. Xu Jun has his own final battle. Victory is full of confidence.
He now has two questions to solve. The first question is that according to the scale of the other party, he should carry heavy weapons, at least there should be mortars, but the strange thing is that the other party has not used any heavy weapons so far. Xu Jun wondered why this unit dared to attack an enormous convoy of armored vehicles without heavy weapons. This is not logical.
The second is the identity of the other party. Xu Jun vaguely felt that this might be Hitler’s hand and foot, but he felt it was impossible. Hitler’s current strength is no longer possible to mobilize a regular force to ambush himself, and the army’s troops are not. This command may be executed. It now appears that these two questions can only be answered after the opponent is completely defeated.
"Lanson."
"Yes, Marshal."
"You are going to the rear squad. The two companies there are under your command and waiting for my offensive command. You lead the two companies under the cover of the six armored vehicles of the rear squadron and strike the enemy's left wing. After the left wing is occupied, the armored car continues Go back to the enemy's back and block the other's retreat. Make sure no one can run away from you, you know?"
"Observe! Marshal, I promise that no enemy will escape from me."
"Good, go."
The shooting is still intense, everything seems to have returned to more than two decades ago, but now it is the army of the same country fighting in this battlefield that was once soaked in blood.
The German ** team ambushed another German ** team on the position constructed by the French. This is indeed a top black joke. But this did indeed happen. In the telescope, the other party’s iconic m35 helmet, mg34’s tearing roar of terror and the crisp tweets of the Mauser rifle all proved themselves to themselves. This is a tragic one. The same room cāo Ge.
In this kind of target-like shooting, the soldiers of the "Cyprus" regiment began to gain the upper hand. The rich battlefield experience made them quickly accustomed to this kind of pediatric fighting in their view. The veterans fired in twos and threes, and they covered each other for a steady and precise shot. The precise shooting of these veterans can sometimes even completely suppress a machine gun.
In the hands of these veterans, the Mauser rifle is almost like a sight. They are eagerly working to drill holes in each other's m35 helmets, and they seem to have good results. They are all happy with it.
The other party's shooting is now far away, perhaps due to the bombardment of machine guns, or because of the accurate shooting of the soldiers here, the other party's shooting began to become more and more scattered, it seems that they have given up aiming, now It's just that there are bullets pouring into it. Although it sometimes works, casualties are inevitable under this kind of barrage-like shooting. Xu Jun’s troops are occasionally hit by such bullets, which are obviously stray bullets, but the actual effects they cause are not as good as they were. The atmosphere created by the match, the earth and stone flying in front of the battle position can not scare these battle-hardened veterans, only in exchange for their ruthless ridicule and ridicule.
"Have all officers reached their respective positions?"
Xu Jun was lying beside the ditch holding the microphone in one hand and the telescope in the other.
"Sir, you are all ready."
"I have arrived, sir."
"Waiting for your order, sir."
"Okay, the mortar is ready to shoot. Three shots were hurried."
"Ready, sir."
"Fire!"
"Yes, lord, fire."
Behind him was the heavy blast of mortars, Xu Jun felt the pressure of a group of objects flying over his head at high speed, and he quickly put his eyes on the telescope.
The enemy positions in the distance are still shooting at his side chaotically. The flashing muzzle flashes remind Xu Jun to recall the stand of a superstar concert in his time.
The mortar shell was flying longer in the air than Xu Jun estimated. Just when he began to doubt whether the shell was expired or scrapped, a series of fireballs sprang up on the opponent's position with a pillar of dust. The dull explosion sounds joined together, and the shaking Xu Jun's eardrums all went up. This was followed by the second wave, followed by the third wave. Suddenly the opponent's position was concealed by the fireball exploded by the mortar shells and the rising mud and dust, and the opponent stopped the crazy shooting.
"Great, I love 81 millimeters!" Xu Jun lowered the telescope excitedly, and then he turned and yelled at the soldier beside him with a microphone.
The soldiers of the "Cyprus" legion, now prove to me your brave and powerful opportunity!
Let us look at what the enemies who dare to challenge us with mean sneak attacks! Let us see if they dare to stand upright and fight us upright. Let me see how my brave and loyal soldiers have wiped out my enemies.
One thing I want to remind you is that although these German traitors must use their lives and blood to scrub their crimes, if they show us their cowardly backs and raise their shaking hands, I Command you must keep the lives of these cowards, I know their crimes do not give them the right to get the slightest pity and compassion of my warriors, but we are noble warriors and not the kind of low-level things, and these cowards will It is the best evidence that you have proved this to me.
I will be among you, I will fight with you, I will watch you win this victory for me, although this is not comparable to your brilliant record before, but this battle will affect our great German future fate.
Go ahead! My warrior!
For the great motherland, for the revival of Germans, for the responsibilities God has entrusted to us, in the name of the great and sacred Germany, my warriors! charge! "
His words reached every soldier's ear through the speakers on the various company radios. Xu Jun fervently finished the final mobilization, he jumped out of the narrow ditch.
Now the legion commander stood in front of the gully with his chest in front, standing in front of his soldiers who had been irritated with blood and red eyes, and raised his arms high against the enemy's position.
There was a huge roar of armored vehicles in the ears. The soldiers held their breath and looked at their idols. In their eyes, the **** of war is like the greatest knights in German legend. Exudes dazzling light.
Xu Jun was very satisfied with his legendary posture and appearance. He raised his arm and then waved forward naturally. When the arm changed from pointing to the sky to pointing at the enemy position, he gave a command to the microphone.
"Cyprus, assault!"
The roar of subordinates came from the headphones.
"Cyprus, assault!"
With that roar, six sds. Kfz231 roared and rushed down the shoulder like a madman, and then a neat line rushed towards the opponent's position at an incredible speed.
"How can it be so fast, do those words also work for the engine?" Lord Legion Commander was obviously taken aback by the crazy sprints of the six armored vehicles, but before he could react, the position behind him exploded.
The soldiers and officers roared out of their temporary trenches, and they roared past Xu Jun like a hurricane. The whole position was advancing, and even the machine gunner rushed out. They followed behind the armored car and rushed over like a torrent of bloodthirsty and destructive desire towards the attacker's position.
The situation on the right wing of the position was the same. Two soldiers of the company led by a team of armored vehicles advancing in a squall position charged at the opponent's position at a terrifying speed.
"It seems to have gone a little too far." Xu Jun looked back at the empty ditch behind him, where there were only full shells and various debris, which looked like a movie theater after the show.
"At least I have left half of the company's reserve team." Xu Jun looked at Randolph with a look of envy and excitement and more than a hundred soldiers who also had red eyes. They were now standing on the road and looking The comrades in charge were drooling.
Xu Jun turned his head to watch his group of frightened march like a frightened cattle and the other party's smoking position. At this time, a fierce gunfire finally sounded on the opponent's position, and then came the crazy roar of the machine gun on the armored car.
"Do you want to resist? It's too late now, it would be better if I still surrender immediately." Xu Jun shook his head to mourn the opposite commander.
This battle was indeed as suspicious as Xu Jun expected. After ten seconds of resistance from the opponent, the terror torrent flooded their positions. Under the double blow of Mauser pistol and bayonet, the opponent's will was instantaneous. It collapsed and the battle ended twenty minutes after the charge.
At this time Xu Jun had just known the identity of the attackers.
The 1st Infantry Division of the German Waffen SS, each of them has a beautiful black armband on the cuff of their military uniform, which is embroidered with a person's signature and the name is "Adolf Hitler".
