Paul joined the German army with a young hero's dream in mind. However, the cruel reality on the Soviet-German battlefield made Paul finally realize that war was not as beautiful as imagined and that war would kill people.
Paul's body was trembling. At this time, he really regretted joining the army. Why didn't he stay in Germany? At least, he had a stable job and could support himself and his family. But in the Soviet Union, thousands of miles away
, not only is it freezing cold, but life is always in danger.
At this moment, facing the cruel reality, Paul finally realized for the first time that participating in this war might really be a mistake.
Seeing his compatriots being beaten to death, Paul did not dare to make a sound. He wanted to cry so much, but he knew that now was not the time to cry. There were Soviet troops everywhere around here, and he had to either escape or surrender.
Paul originally wanted to choose the former, but after turning around a few times, he was surrounded by Soviet troops. In the end, he had to retreat to where he was. He knew that in this case, it was impossible for him to escape. So, if he wanted to
There is only one possibility left to survive, and that is to surrender.
Paul gritted his teeth. He felt that life is the most precious thing for people. If there is no life, then there is nothing. Thinking of this, Paul raised his uninjured right arm and walked towards the Soviet army outside.
From a distance, Paul saw several Soviet soldiers discovering him. These Soviet soldiers raised their guns and prepared to shoot. Paul immediately shouted and raised his hands high above his head, indicating that he was surrendering.
These Soviet soldiers saw Paul with his arms raised high and no weapons in his hands, and they understood Paul's intention. They were very surprised. Many German soldiers would rather die than surrender. Very few German soldiers came out to surrender. They didn't expect that they would encounter them today.
one.
When Paul saw that these Soviet soldiers did not kill him, but just looked at him in confusion, Paul said that he was willing to surrender. Unfortunately, none of these Soviet soldiers could understand German. After half a day, they found someone who knew a little bit of German.
Officer, the officer communicated with Paul and saw that Paul was willing to surrender. He decided to take him into custody first and found a doctor for him, preparing to interrogate him tomorrow.
Seeing that his life was temporarily saved and that doctors were treating him, Paul finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, maybe being a prisoner is not such a sad thing after all...
At this time, Xu Rui led his armored assault force into the German formation with lightning speed, completely isolating the German 205th Division from the 328th Division behind it. Next, Xu Rui prepared to attack the 205th Division.
Swallow it.
Kuznetsov's troops followed up in time. Xu Rui opened the passage, and his soldiers immediately followed and occupied the passage, and then cooperated with Xu Rui's troops to squeeze the German 205th Infantry Division from both sides.
The 205th Infantry Division of the German Army is the main infantry division of the German Army. It has an artillery regiment, three infantry regiments, as well as a reconnaissance battalion, a communications battalion, an anti-tank battalion, an engineer battalion, and a transport team, with more than 17,000 people.
A huge preparation.
Xu Rui's armored assault troops advanced directly to the rear of the 205th Infantry Division. Here, the first thing they encountered was the artillery regiment of the 205th Infantry Division.
At full strength, the German 205th Infantry Division has 2,500 men, 32 light machine guns, 36 105mm howitzers, 4 105mm artillery pieces, 8 150mm howitzers, 40 motorcycles, 105 wheeled trucks, and 229 horse-drawn carriages.
, 2274 horses.
At this time, the people in the artillery regiment did not realize that the Soviet army would suddenly come to them.
Forty-eight cannons were arranged neatly, tents were erected one by one, and tents were also erected in the dilapidated buildings on both sides. However, at this time, the German troops in the tents had fallen into sleep and were completely unaware of the huge crisis.
has arrived.
Corporal Miller yawned and woke up from his sleep. He vaguely felt the ground shaking.
"Maybe it's an illusion. How could the ground be shaking?" Miller felt a little urgent to urinate. He left the tent and went to a nearby corner to pee. Maybe it was because of the fire. He didn't urinate for a long time. He was holding it in.
It hurts, but it makes me very cold.
Buzzing…
The ground shook more violently, and Miller couldn't help but frown.
"Damn the Soviet Union, damn winter."
Miller turned around, and he saw countless huge objects faintly moving in the distance towards the location of the artillery regiment.
Miller shivered in fright and peed instead, but his military boots were soaked all over.
what's the situation?
Miller looked ahead and saw the huge black shadows moving forward, the sound getting louder and louder, and the ground shaking more and more violently.
"God, what is that?"
Getting closer, getting closer, Miller finally saw clearly that there were countless tanks heading towards the camp.
Miller knew that the 3rd Armored Army did not have such a large tank unit, which meant that these tank units must be Soviet.
"Soviet!" Miller yelled.
The next moment, piercing sirens pierced the night sky. Seeing that the tanks coming from the opposite direction were discovered, all the tanks' lights were turned on, and the entire German artillery regiment was in chaos.
Many soldiers had just woken up from their sleep and crawled out of their tents in a hurry. However, at this time, Soviet tanks had already driven over, and the German soldiers who had crawled out were running around.
At this time, Miller kept running into the distance. After a while, he turned back and glanced at the tent where he was, only to see that the tent had been directly crushed by the tank, and the two German soldiers lying inside were directly crushed into a pulp.
Seeing this scene, Miller couldn't help but feel horrified. The Soviet tanks were so terrifying. He never dared to look back and ran forward with all his strength. Behind him, the sound of the tank's on-board machine gun kept ringing, and screams came from time to time.
, Miller knew that it was the sound made when the fleeing German soldiers were shot to death.
Miller ran forward with all his strength. At this moment, he passed by a tent, and a head emerged from the tent and asked Miller: "Miller, what are you doing?"
Miller recognized at a glance that the person speaking was Colonel Schmidt, the commander of the German artillery regiment.
Miller said: "Colonel Schmidt, the Soviet tanks are coming, run away!"
Schmidt emerged from the tent and said to Miller: "Miller, how could the Soviets hit here? This is the rear."
Miller smiled helplessly, ignored Colonel Schmidt, and ran towards the distance.
At this time, Schmidt also heard the screams of tanks and the roar of machine guns. He looked into the distance and saw huge steel monsters that were constantly devouring the lives of German soldiers.
"Fight now!" Schmidt shouted, trying to mobilize his troops for a counterattack.
However, the army was defeated like a mountain. His troops were completely scattered and were being continuously crushed and chased by tanks. Schmidt kept running forward, but the defeated troops behind him pushed him to the ground. Before he could do anything,
Schmidt got up, and a huge tank rushed over, and then directly ran over Schmidt...
Seeing the leader of the group, Schmidt, being crushed into a pile of flesh, Miller felt like he was dead and sat down on the ground. Then, using all four limbs, he reluctantly got up and ran away into the distance.
Behind you, artillery shells exploded one after another, and then, vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets roared in your ears...
The tanks finally stopped and killed the artillery regiment. The armored assault force had cut off the German 205th Infantry Division from the German camp. All that was left was to destroy the 205th Infantry Division.
Behind him, two hundred trucks were arriving one after another. Xu Rui ordered through the armored command vehicle to immediately stop the pursuit. Soon after, Zyuganov reported to him that in this battle, a total of forty-eight German cannons were captured, and at the same time,
There are 98 trucks, of which more than 70 are usable.
Xu Rui was very happy when he heard this and immediately asked Zyuganov and Kirilenko if there were enough gunners to use these cannons.
Kirilenko said that part of his troops were transferred from the original artillery, so using artillery would not be a problem.
Xu Rui said to Kirilenko: "Kirilenko, leave some of your people behind and let them use artillery fire on the positions of the German 205th Infantry Division to cooperate with our army's actions."
Kirilenko responded and immediately went to prepare.
Xu Rui led the rest of the troops to fight back again, cooperating with Kuznetsov's troops to encircle and annihilate the German 205th Infantry Division.
Ten minutes later, the artillery regiment's cannons let out earth-shattering roars, and Xu Rui led the armored assault force on the circuit again, returning to kill the main force of the German 205th Infantry Division.
"boom!"
"Boom boom!"
Amidst the thundering sound of artillery, the entire position of the German 205th Division was plunged into a sea of flames.
"go ahead!"
Xu Rui's armored assault force turned around and fought back, rushing straight into the camp of the German baggage troops. At this time, the German baggage troops were in a mess. Under the powerful attack of tanks and trucks, these weak baggage troops quickly
They were defeated and more than a thousand people were captured.
"go ahead!"
Xu Rui's armored assault force did not stop and once again pushed forward in a straight line. This time, they encountered the engineer battalion.
Xu Rui knew that the German engineering battalions were completely different from those of other troops. They were not weak troops in battle. On the contrary, they had strong combat effectiveness.
The engineer battalion of the 205th Infantry Division has a total of 1,250 people. Among them, the battalion headquarters alone has 4 light machine guns. The 1st company is a completely motorized company with 36 light machine guns and 4 80MM34 mortars. The 2nd company
There are 2 heavy machine guns, 43 light machine guns, and 8 flamethrowers. In addition, there is also a pontoon bridge company, a motorized engineering company, and a maintenance company. It is very powerful.
After the raid on the German artillery regiment and baggage troops, the German engineer battalion had received the news and knew that the Soviet armored assault troops were coming to attack, so they were making preparations. More than 80 machine guns were placed in position at the same time.
On the front line, forming a powerful fire blocking position, Xu Rui's armored assault troops faced a severe test...
