"General, we have captured more than a hundred Soviet prisoners, what do you think we should do with them?" the officer asked.
Ike frowned and said: "Our Skeleton Master never needs prisoners, so we should deal with them according to the old rules."
"yes!"
The officer left, and after a while, more than a hundred prisoners of war, covered in blood, were tied with ropes and led to the vast snowy fields, and were captured by the Skeleton Division. They already knew the fate that awaited them, and no one imagined that they could survive.
"Long live the Soviets!"
"Down with German fascism!"
"Victory belongs to the Soviet Union!"
Facing impending death, these Soviet soldiers mustered up their courage and shouted the last roar of their lives.
"Wow..."
Barrels of gasoline were poured over the prisoners.
"Arise, you hungry and cold slaves, arise, you suffering people all over the world! The blood in your heart is already boiling, we must fight for the truth..."
Seeing this scene, the Germans finally could no longer remain calm. Their eyes were full of surprise and shock, and the soldiers holding the kindling put their hands down again.
An officer came over, grabbed the kindling, and threw it to the prisoners of war. Then, hundreds of prisoners of war were ignited with blazing flames, and their singing echoed in the flames for a long time...
Seeing this scene, Ike frowned. This was the first time he had seen such a troop since entering the Soviet Union. How could a troop composed of prisoners of war and remnants of war produce such a powerful fighting force? Ike couldn't believe it.
clear.
However, Ike was in awe of this army. Even if they were opponents, the warriors on the battlefield were always worthy of people's admiration.
Ike did not intend to waste time here. Smolensk was right in front of him. He wanted to capture Smolensk in the shortest possible time and win the first victory. Because of this, the Skeleton Master was able to defeat the two in one go.
The infantry division was thrown behind it and penetrated directly into the heart of the target.
Ike glanced at the location of Smolensk and thought to himself, Smolensk, the Skeleton Division is coming! Let all Soviets tremble under the banner of the Skeleton Division...
The chariot rumbled, a large flag with a skull pattern fluttered in the air, and it quickly advanced towards Smolensk...
In the evening, Ekko's troops finally arrived at Smolensk. Contrary to what they imagined, Ekko's Skeleton Division encountered basically no resistance except for some anti-tank mines along the way. It went smoothly.
Arrive at the outskirts of Smolensk.
"General, Smolensk is ahead of us. This journey is too smooth. Will the enemy have an ambush? Should we conduct a reconnaissance before deciding on the next move?" Ike's chief of staff, Barak, asked.
Ike shook his head and said: "According to Qingrui, the Soviet army that attacked Smolensk only had about one brigade of troops. The ones we just wiped out on the high ground were probably their main force, and the rest of the troops should have been broken up.
"
At this moment, there was a burst of gunfire from the front. After a while, the gunfire stopped, and a signal soldier ran over and said: "Report to the general, a Soviet blocking force of about 2,000 people was found in the front, and most of them have been wiped out by our army."
, the rest escaped from Smolensk, should we pursue them?"
Ike laughed and said: "Barak, this is what you call the Soviet ambush. We have eliminated three or four thousand Soviet troops on the highlands, and more than a thousand more here. According to intelligence,
It shows that the Soviet army only has one brigade in total, which is a strength of six to seven thousand people. In this case, the Soviet army has less than 2,000 people left. I am afraid they have fled long ago, so what else is there to worry about?"
Barak also smiled and said: "General, it seems that I am worrying too much."
Ike said to the signal soldier: "Tell the vanguard troops that our mission is to capture Smolensk and regain the lost military supplies. There is no need to pursue."
"Yes!" The signal soldier responded, turned around and left.
With the sound of rumbling tanks, more than 10,000 Skeleton Division troops entered Smolensk. Ike also found the headquarters where Vlasov was originally located and used it as his own headquarters.
Ike couldn't help but think in his mind that the combat effectiveness of the armies of these slave countries was really poor. Hundreds of thousands of troops were actually swept away by some defeated Soviet soldiers. If it weren't for the Skeleton Division, Smolensk would have been doomed this time.
Thinking of capturing Smolensk by himself, Ike felt very proud and began to think about the next step. As long as the two infantry divisions of the 6th Army came to take over the defense, he would be free.
Fight back to Moscow again. If you can capture Moscow in one fell swoop, the Skeleton Division will become the most powerful army in Germany.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a loud "boom" in my ears, which made the glass rattle.
Ike was shocked, wondering what happened?
After a while, a signal soldier ran in and said: "General, the No. 1 warehouse where the munitions are stored exploded, causing a fire."
Barak said: "Could it be an accident?"
Just as he was talking, there was another loud noise in his ears. A moment later, a signal soldier ran over and said: "General, it's bad, there was an explosion in the No. 7 warehouse where the grain is stored."
Ike was shocked. If the explosion in the warehouse storing arms might have been an accident, because the warehouse itself contained a large amount of explosives, it would be wrong for the warehouse storing grain to explode. There was no explosives in the grain, so how could it explode?
There is only one possibility, that is, this is a premeditated act of sabotage by the Soviets.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Explosions continued to be heard throughout the city of Smolensk, and soon the entire city was turned into a sea of flames.
"Report, there are fires in the east and north of the city."
"Report, there are also fires in the west and south of the city."
One message after another reached Ike's ears.
Ike was shocked, changed his mind, and said: "No, this is a conspiracy of the Soviets. They led us into the city and then set fire to the city. They want to burn all our skeleton divisions to death. Order immediately."
, the whole division gathered and prepared to withdraw from Smolensk."
Barak asked: "General, in which direction do you plan to withdraw?"
"Which direction should the fire boy withdraw from?"
"Then let's leave from the east of the city. If we leave from the east of the city, we can return to Moscow or join up with the 9th Infantry Division and the 44th Infantry Division." Barak said.
"Okay, Barak, organize a breakout immediately."
When Ike came out of the building, even though it was cold winter, a wave of scorching hot air rushed over the sky, burning people all over. The entire Smolensk had been plunged into a sea of fire, and the soldiers of the Skeleton Division
Running around everywhere, constantly jumping around.
"Gather and get out of here with me!"
Ike entered the armored command vehicle and drove forward. Along the way, troops continued to gather behind Ike. It must be said that the Skeleton Division was an elite division. Under such circumstances, there was still no chaos, and they followed Aike.
Action.
In this way, Ike led the soldiers all the way to the east gate. As soon as they reached the door, they saw meteors flying down from the sky with a roaring sound.
The next moment, explosions occurred one after another, and artillery shells exploded among the German troops. The German army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. In the first wave of artillery shell attacks, thousands of people were killed.
However, the Skeleton Division is an elite division after all. After the initial chaos, it quickly calmed down and launched a countercharge to the front. Thousands of brave Skeleton Division soldiers rushed towards the direction of the cannon. Ten minutes later, the German army finally occupied
Soviet artillery positions.
Ike let out a sigh of relief, this is the Skeleton Division. No matter what kind of enemy is in front of him, it will be the Skeleton Division that wins the final victory.
"boom!"
"Boom boom!"
Ike's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. He saw a series of explosions at the Soviet artillery position in the distance. Thousands of Skeleton Division soldiers who rushed to seize the artillery position were blown up together with these cannons in the explosion.
Fly into the sky.
Ike instantly understood that he had been fooled again. The enemy commander was simply luring his soldiers to seize the cannon and then blow it up to consume his own troops.
"Damn it!" Ike clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
Today's battle gave him a sense of frustration. The successive defeats made him even doubt himself. Ike couldn't help but wonder who the enemy commander was and how he could be so powerful. He knew everything about himself.
Front……
"Old Xu, the Skeleton Division is trying to escape!" Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui snorted coldly and said, "Just run away. With our true combat power, we cannot stop the Skeleton Master."
When Leng Tiefeng heard Xu Rui's words, he was convinced. Xu Ruidong's patchwork troops originally only had about 7,000 people. Most of the main force was wiped out when they blocked the Skeleton Division. In order to prevent the Skeleton Division from becoming suspicious, he ordered the Skeleton Division to avoid suspicion when they entered the city.
At that time, another army was sent to attack, and more than a thousand people were lost. As a result, Xu Rui's remaining troops did not exceed 2,000. Among these 2,000, there were 500 female soldiers and 800 workers.
Some of the remaining six to seven hundred people were weak prisoners of war and a small number of guerrillas. As for the puppet soldiers who had taken refuge, most of them fled again when the disaster came. Only Igor and Nikita and a few dozen others stayed.
.
With this small force, Xu Rui could not stop the Skeleton Master from escaping even if he spent all his strength. Therefore, Xu Rui could only let it go.
"Old Xu, I did some calculations. There are more than 10,000 Skeleton Divisions, and the maximum number of people who actually escaped is only 5,000. In this battle, we wiped out most of the Skeleton Division's troops. The Skeleton Division's vitality was also severely damaged. We are afraid in a short time.
It’s hard to make any big achievements anymore,” Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui said: "You said, if we burn down the entire Smolensk at once and turn the whole city into a white field, will the Germans go crazy?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "Not only are the Germans going crazy, I'm afraid even the Soviets will be going crazy. Smolensk must be a Soviet city. Your scorched-earth fighting style is very damaging to the country's vitality."
