In fact, entering 1945, Maozi and Hans were hurting each other to the point of exhaustion in terms of infantry numbers.
The infantry divisions in Xie Yuan's Maozi troops were sharply reduced to no more than five or six thousand men per division, and there were cases where 3,000 men were organized into one division.
The opposing Hans were no better off either.
From the early days to the middle and late stages of World War II, the German infantry battalion was always the smallest but most basic tactical group. Nine infantry battalions, or six regiments, formed the framework of the German infantry division.
But when the war dragged on in 1944, the German infantry divisions rarely had 9 infantry battalions, and most infantry divisions even only had 6 infantry battalions.
But the irony is that no matter how Hans and Maozi's infantry (artillery) soldiers (ash) were widely consumed, most of the technical arms of both sides were well preserved.
Therefore, no matter how short the number of infantry divisions is, the technical arms are always fully staffed.
This time the Hans Army, which arranged to seize the cargo from the stranded ship, saw that the epaulettes were a reinforced battalion transferred from the SS ranks, with at least four companies under their command.
There are almost more than 700 people in total, and the equipment is also in short supply. At least you can only see so many stg-44 assault rifles when attacking the Capitol.
The supporting units of the battalion headquarters are two machine gun companies, namely 6 80mm GRW 34 medium mortars, and the company headquarters has 3 1936-type 50mm mortars.
Therefore, the entire battalion can possess 18 long-range projection weapons. No military force can easily conquer this place as long as it lacks armor capabilities.
But at this moment, after the first suspected target was confirmed to be unoccupied, Xie Yuan, who walked out of the building, looked around and saw that there were at least 10 mortar positions that were completely scorched, with personnel scorched black by bombing, and the barrels were damaged.
Did they fire a shot? Before they died, did they ever wonder why the enemy knew my location so quickly? Who tipped me off?
A smoke grenade had just been thrown as a mark for his mortar team to bombard two machine gun nests. Xie Yuan was currently waiting in the bunker for the bombardment to end.
Although Xie Yuan was not sentimental about the fact that these people died in a conspiracy, after all, they were enemies who refused to surrender, he was also shocked by the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of this spy.
After all, he is his compatriot! However, it is impossible to ask the spy to consider the collective. After all, it is the nature of the spy to be greedy for life and fear of death, otherwise he would not betray.
When the shelling was over, Xie Yuan looked up and saw, tsk tsk tsk! The 120mm mortar was indeed a heavy weapon. A burst of shells concentrated fire and the entire steel structure connecting bridge collapsed.
Without the restraints of the two machine gun nests, the enemy's firepower was very limited. The commando team took the lead and immediately rushed to another large garage.
There is a kind of crawler-type vehicle staying here. It is huge, but it is not equipped with weapons. The people who originally planned to stay here had no intention of staying there for a long time!
From the garage made of prefabricated panels to the office inside, there were only a few Hans soldiers left. They were all kneeling on the ground, raising their hands in surrender and praying for life.
Unfortunately, the first one they encountered was Reznov, and "bang, bang, bang, bang" they were all executed one after another.
The base is very vast, and Xie Yuan estimated that they might have just walked half of the distance, which was not enough.
"Where do you think this Dr. Steiner might be?" Walk to a door that leads to the rest of the base.
"Bang!" After killing the last prisoner who knelt down to beg for mercy, Reznov also changed another magazine and walked to the door. After thinking for a while, he replied: "He must be at the very back of this base, far away from this battlefield.
place."
"Then continue searching!" Xie Yuan also became more energetic, waving his companions away, and punched the door, "Boom!"
Neither door hinge could withstand this huge force, and both made a heart-wrenching sound of "squeaking", and then... "clang" the door panel was smashed to the ground.
"Huh! It's just like Hercules," Reznov said in admiration.
The corner of Xie Yuan's mouth curled up a bit, but he quickly and calmly raised his gun on guard. After all, this was still a battlefield, and no matter how powerful he was... he could only use it for this.
Just when Reznov came out, Xie Yuan suddenly thought of something. Seeing the few people behind him, he paused and made some preparations: "Victor, everyone, after the mission...if you can all go back alive
, if I can’t, help take care of my parents.”
"Hey!" Reznov was unhappy when he heard this. "We will go back, one by one. You don't have to worry about anyone. Anyone who wants to harm others is my enemy."
"I hope so, Victor," Xie Yuan pursed his lips and said to Reznov with a smile: "I hope so."
After exiting this door, we quickly arrived at the deepest part of the base. A little further from here is the stranded giant ship.
But first, we need to find Dr. Steiner.
Along the way, I kept firing with submachine guns, and used Mosin-Nagant rifles to snipe and kill those farther away.
The enemy began to fight back crazily, but rather than fighting back... it was more like dragging people into the water when they wanted to die, as many as they could.
They don't even have the will to fight, only the will to die. Otherwise, there are many tank killers and Panzerfaust anti-tank rocket launchers scattered around them, but they are rarely used.
It's more like charging over like a Long Live Charge, shooting with stg44, and begging to be killed by us.
There are many stg44 rifles codenamed mp44 by the German army.
It's a pity that just like the 44 years in the name, mass production was officially launched in 1944, but the output and influence were not enough to affect the war situation.
There must be high hopes for this unit to be able to replace assault rifles on a large scale, but it's a pity...
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!" Upon hearing this sound, Xie Yuan and Reznov immediately found a sheltered building, which was also a firepower nest composed of two mg42 machine guns.
It was built on a metal connecting bridge, with firepower constantly strafing the buildings on both sides... Is this hoping to use stray bullets to kill them hiding in the sheltered building?
It's a pity that the prefabricated panels they installed have hard walls and will not bounce back from stray bullets. Hans people have always developed a good habit: strict and refined.
As a result, they also harmed themselves. The fire nest was eventually marked by smoke grenades thrown by Reznov and destroyed by mortar shells.
With the last fire station blown up, nothing could stop the commando advance.
Every enemy blocking the road was shot to death by Reznov and Xie Yuan's submachine guns. The commando team's last unexplored land, an office, was right in front of them.
He was about to open the door... but the door opened automatically, and a soldier staggered out of the office. Reznov was about to raise his gun, but Xie Yuan stopped him because he knew the soldier was dead.
Soon he fell to the ground. As the commandos walked in, almost only a barrel was glowing in a dark room... This was the only light source.
There were Hans soldiers who were shot to death at close range with pistols, and the only living person in the office was wearing an officer's uniform and a thick scarf.
His right hand holds a P38 Walther pistol, while his left hand is holding a cigar comfortably, and he took a nice puff just now.
There was some manuscript paper burning in the barrel, and Xie Yuan immediately started the multi-tool scanner in a subtle way. Because a lot of manuscript paper had just been burned, the scanner could make a rough analysis and then complete the data.
It is probably a common problem among greedy intellectuals that Dr. Steiner only wants to keep some formula data in his own mind.
"Fredrich Steiner?" Reznov asked suspiciously, pointing his submachine gun at the officer.
Dr. Steiner, who was suddenly stopped, might have just been frightened, and became a little angry: "Don't point the gun at me, Mao Zigou."
After all, he was a living person named by his superiors. As a soldier, Reznov could only put away his anger and his gun.
Dr. Steiner probably felt that his dignity was satisfied, so he leaned back comfortably, took a puff of cigarette, intoxicated for a while, and then exhaled slowly.
"You will take me to see Dragovich." He ordered Reznov in an arrogant tone, and at the same time threw the cigarette butt aside and looked at Reznov.
Xie Yuan thought to yourself that you are so talented, why don't you throw the cigarette butt in Reznov's face? Do you want to try and see if Reznov will shoot you in a rage? Coward!
Xie Yuan, who despised Steiner in his heart, did not follow Reznov. He left an excuse to see what he could find of value.
Dr. Steiner had no objection after seeing the documents in the bucket burned clean, and neither did Reznov, so Xie Yuan was left alone in this office.
After a while, Xie Yuan received a prompt from the multi-purpose analysis machine, which displayed the data analysis and completed the completion. Xie Yuan saw that everyone had left, and then he showed up the terminal to watch the report.
Xie Yuanqi turned his nose up when he first saw the conclusion, that’s it!?
