Seven hundred and seventy-nine.
The atmosphere in the carriage is solemn and depressing. Moving forward may mean death, and no one wants to talk more.
After about five minutes of going forward, Corporal Ziegler stopped to report to Hewitt, "There is a situation ahead!"
Hewitt leaned out of the vehicle and looked forward with an infrared telescope: there was a wreckage of a destroyed German tank across the road bridge in front, which blocked the passage of a Russian siege convoy. It seemed unlikely that dozens of tons of metal scrap iron would be moved or knocked away. The Russian commander fired a volley at the bridgehead of the three anti-tanks and two "ss6" tanks. Due to the cover of night, the Russians did not notice the German approaching.
The German army had only one tank, and the enemy's strength was several times that of him. Moreover, this enemy could not get around, and he had to kill a way out... When he sat back in the car, Hewitt sorted out his thoughts. He knew that everyone must make clear their combat vision.
Hewitt spoke: "Everyone, please be aware that there may be a vanguard unit in front of the Russians who siege the city... There is no choice, we must destroy them!"
The carriage was still quiet, but Hewitt could not see retreat or fear in the eyes of the soldiers, only perseverance and indomitableness. **Sky's words may represent the voice of the crew members: "Sir, please give orders, how to fight?"
"I asked the first one to use grenades to kill those anti-tank gunners; the second one and the third one to use armor-piercing bombs, and the target: two 'ss6' tanks. The movement must be fast! Accurate! Fierce! ... Then, we rushed over and knocked over or crushed those anti-tank guns at lightning speed... Are there any problems?"
The position of "SS First-level Commando Captain" was not obtained by bragging. Hewitt's professional explanation won the respect of the soldiers, and the crew members answered neatly: "No problem, sir!"
Everyone is a veteran. I know that the price of the mistake is that their car is destroyed and people are killed.
While speaking, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the wreckage of the German tanks on the bridge had been blown up to pieces and was wiped out. "Oh~~~ Ula!" The Russians cheered on the road being cleared.
"Prepare for the fight!"
The German gunner calmly adjusted the elevation angle of the muzzle, and fired the first gun until the Russian figure behind the three anti-tank guns placed side by side were accurately locked into the sight.
Maybe it was because the distance was too close, "Bang--" A fire flashed in the muzzle, and the grenade had already bloomed among the enemy group, blowing down a piece of it!
"Armor Piercing Bullets! Rapid Fire!" Sergeant **Sky was ordering.
The steaming shell dropped out with a "bang" with smoke. The German shooter was quickly loading...
The fire at the muzzle exposed the German army's position. The next step was to compare who moves faster and who fires first will have a chance to survive. Both Russian "ss6" were spinning the turret.
The tank was shocked again, and the German army seized the initiative to shoot a second armor-piercing bomb, and a "ss6" turret was overturned.
"Roar up! Rush over!" Before Ski finished speaking, the car body retreated. Then he roared and rushed up. The car crew had a long-term cooperation and cooperated very well.
A flash of fire in front of him, and the shells fired by the "ss6" tank just landed behind the German army. The German loader and gunner had completed the next launch procedure, stopped the car, fired, and completed the action in one go. The remaining "ss6" was blasted into a pile of scrap iron without any vitality!
"Go forward!" Hewitt knew that it was not the time to celebrate.
The tank must have increased to the highest speed and rushed to the anti-tank gun position ahead at high speed. The Russian soldiers who were frightened by the sudden blow had just returned to the artillery position and had to flee in all directions again. Those who were slow to move or slow to react died tragically under the German tracks.
With a "pang" sound, the hard body of the "Leopard 7" type crashed into two anti-tank guns, and the other anti-tank gun that was blown up was ruthlessly crushed! However, a long barrel of a rolled-over anti-tank gun was stagnantly advancing the "Leopard 7" type.
"Anti-tank bazooka!!" The driver Corporal Ziegler screamed in horror, and began to reverse in a hurry. It was obvious that the Russian infantry was coming up with the anti-tank bazooka.
"Machine gun! Machine gun fire!"
"Da da da da da da da da da da da da"
Because the Russian infantry was in the dead corner of machine gun fire, the strafing was useless. Hewitt said to Sergeant **sky: "You, go out! Use the machine gun to kill the Russian infantry!"
"But..." **Sky hesitated a little.
"Execute the order! If the enemy's blasting team is not killed, the car will definitely be destroyed and the people will be killed!"
**Sky no longer hesitated, pushed away the turret with a light machine gun and leaned out of the car, and heard a "da da da da" shot. The enemy was not dead, **Steur Sky died first!
Hewitt saw from the lookout hole that four and five enemies were carrying anti-tank bazooka.
"Get on the light machine gun again! The enemy's blasting team must be killed!!"
The electromechanical and mechanical engineer wanted to get up with another mg machine gun, but the body of the chariot who had just died blocked the turret. He had the machine gun in his hand and must have been stuck horizontally outside the turret. The body could not be pulled in.
"Put the body!" Hewitt ordered.
The electromechanical and mechanical engineer pushed the body of the sacrificed commander out of the vehicle. After clearing the turret, Hewitt personally leaned out of the vehicle with a machine gun.
"Dadadada, dadadada" Another gunshot, and the Russians around the tank were all flirted with machine guns.
Hewitt heard the sound and saw that it was Sergeant Hesky on the repair car behind. Hewitt gave Hesky a thumbs up.
"Dadadadadadadadada..." A rain of bullets swept over, causing the tank's armor to thunder. Hewittping picked up the machine gun and pointed it at the fire snake's spray and shot a long shot. The enemy's shooting stopped.
After the tank retreated for a certain distance, it rushed forward. The wreckage of the anti-tank gun that blocked the tank's movement was finally knocked away and overturned into the river.
The darkness is not aware of the reality and lacks heavy weapons, so the Russians dare not get closer.
"keep going!"
Taking advantage of the night, the German army avoided the enemy and rushed to the settlement where the Black Jazz platoon lived.
"It's here!" Corporal Ziegler once visited this small settlement. "The black one in front...is a short earth wall in the settlement?"
"It's so pitiful! War destroyed everything!" The electromechanical and mechanical engineer sighed.
"Road over!" Everyone was excited to be able to arrive successfully!
Ziegler was flying up the gear and increased his horsepower. The tank rushed over like a wild horse that was out of bounds. Hesky's repair car ran at high speed and behind the German army. Hewitt felt that the German army was as wild as the cowboy in the American Western film.
"Oh my God! That's not a short earth wall? It's a Russian armored vehicle hidden behind the sand!"
It was too late to brake. "Peng" two cars collided. Hewitt was shocked and his five internal organs and six lungs moved. The unlucky Russian armored vehicle was knocked out like an empty cardboard box. After rolling over a few times, it was overturned and no one came out. Going forward, the German army finally saw the low earth wall in the impression of Corporal Ziegler, but the wall had been destroyed by artillery fire and only a little trace was left!
"Dadadada, dadada..." Another Russian fired at the German army, but it was just a few submachine guns. The German tank machine gun knocked down all these ignorant Russians.
The German army rushed into the small settlement. "Sir. I see our tank!" Sergeant Hesky reported to Hewitt. Following his fingers and with the faint firelight in the distance, he could indeed vaguely see the injured tank parked in the ruins.
"Sergeant Hesky, can you see if those tanks can be repaired? We must return while it is dark. At dawn, the Russians' flight blows us to pieces."
Sergeant Hesky climbed onto the nearest Tiger King car and screamed in surprise, "Hey~~~ Where is the person?"
Only then did Hewitt notice the silence of the entire settlement, and occasionally one or two stray bullets flew by, and there was no one.
"Sir, these tanks seem to have been abandoned!"
The sound of pulling the bolt sounded from the pile of ruins around. "Raise your hands! You are already surrounded!"
Hearing the familiar German, Hewitt responded happily and loudly, "Don't shoot! Is it Captain Kellermo? I'm the battalion commander!"
"Ah! It's the battalion commander! Brothers, come out quickly!" Kellermo, the captain of the first-level commando, shouted in surprise, "I said that the battalion commander will not give up on us."
The soldiers of the Black Jazz Platoon ran out of the lurking rubble and everyone hugged each other happily. The Germans finally met at the small settlement. Not much to celebrate, Hewitt asked the crew to divide food, ammunition and gasoline into the tanks of the Black Jazz Platoon.
"We don't have much time! Sergeant Heisky, repair the tanks immediately, we will return to the city in an hour!" The repair car was very useful this time, but after a lot of effort, Sergeant Heisky reported to Hewitt that at least two tank kings would not be able to be repaired in a short time, and Heiwitt had to make the decision to blow them up during evacuation.
When the platoon leader of the "Black Jazz" saw Hewitt, the 25-year-old man shed tears and the battle was too tragic. Only then did Hewitt realize that the tank destroyed on the bridge was his chariot. The real name of the platoon leader of the "Black Jazz" was Carl. The squadron leader of the second-level commando. The platoon survived only twelve soldiers, and half of the people, including the deputy platoon leader Carmen's first-level commando, were injured.
Suddenly, five red signal flares rose into the air, and the Russians' night bomber group roared towards the unyielding city of Robinstel. Heavy artillery like landslides and cracks, and the small city was immediately submerged in flames and smoke. The speeding brigade of Russian armored tanks and assault infantry equipped with various weapons passed by the small settlements and rushed towards Robinstel without hesitation. This should be the 43rd Army of Lieutenant General Roborodov of the 3rd Russian Army.
Despite the repeated demining of artillery fire, under the interference of the German sniper troops guarding the minefield, the Russians were unable to accurately determine the range of the minefield, so the effect of the artillery was not ideal. Soon the German army could hear explosions one after another in the minefield. I don’t know whether the Russian engineers were clearing mines or the Russians were stepping on landmines, but such a large-scale group charge would probably be technically and timely unrealistic. Lieutenant General Loborodov attacked with such a strong attack regardless of the losses, and seemed to be determined to get Robbinstel in one night.
Hewitt contacted the city's battalion commander through the radio station. Unfortunately, ten minutes ago, Deputy Battalion Commander Captain Bartels had just been shot dead by Russian artillery fire. The commander was replaced by Captain Rous, the director of the train. Hewitt knew that Captain Rous was just a political official and had no practical experience. Hewitt asked Rous to tell the 1st motorized infantry company not to give up any inch of land. Relying on solid fortifications, he firmly withstood the enemy's attack. The German army would organize troops outside the city to cooperate with the 1st company inside and outside, launch an attack from the enemy's back and forth, disrupting the enemy's attack deployment.
Given that the appearance of the tank is easier to identify, the German army has put in necessary camouflage on the tank. Hewitt explained the combat and precautions to the commanders.
Given that the enemy is Hewitt and the communication equipment of some tanks is damaged, it is of course best to maintain formation during combat. If it is dispersed or lost contact, all vehicles should be rushing back to Robbinstell in a good direction and then gather.
The German army, which is a small but very capable small convoy, is ready to go. Hewitt looked at the time and it is now 3:32 am, so we can't delay any more! The German army must act immediately."
Attack!" Three "Destroyer 3" and Hewitt's "Leopard 7" drove out of the settlement, followed the assault Russians toward the minefield. Two "Destroyer 3" vehicles that could not be repaired were bombed at the same time.
The speed of the "Destroyer 3" type is too slow! Shortly after departure, in the darkness and chaos, Hewitt soon lost contact with the captain of Keller's first-level commando, the captain of the Black Jazz second-level commando, and the captain of the small-level commando, and had to fight each other, but I believe that the German army's goals should be consistent: attack forward! Return to the city!
In the darkness, the German army was getting closer and closer to the Russians, and they could clearly hear the roar of the Russian v62 tank motor. Soon, rows of armored vehicles and tank shadows appeared in front of the German army, and the Russian infantry ran in the undulating wilderness...
A Russian soldier even ran to Hewitt's tank and made a "v" gesture, shouting excitedly in Russian.
The only thing that prevents the Russians from moving forward is the explosion of landmines. The city of Robbinstell in the distance seems to be hit by artillery fire, and there are no living creatures under the bombing of the plane.
The German gunner circled the gunstones into a tank with a messy slogan in paint. He had whispered to Hewitt to ask the time for the fire. Hewitt was silent because Hewitt would rather fire when the first company opened fire after passing through the minefield.
But after walking in the minefield for less than half an hour, someone finally couldn't help but fire the first shot. An armored vehicle full of Russian infantry was blown to pieces and the body was thrown high. Hewitt's gunner couldn't wait to fire the armor-piercing bomb. The Stalin in front instantly ignited a huge fire, which was burned into a ball of fire.
Under the reflection of the fire, the "Leopard 7" tanks were undoubtedly exposed. Various bullets attacked the German army, and the German army also used machine guns to strafuse the German army. The only thing that could save the German army from being spared was the "Leopard 7" hard armor and excellent speed.
"Sky into the darkness! Don't fight!"
The "Leopard 7" type penetrated into the darkness, away from the flames, and the Russian infantry was so shocked that they were scattered and dodged by the Germans' desperate momentum of scattering and running.
Just as the agile "Leopard 7" style was almost hiding into the darkness, an armor-piercing bomb shot the German tank from the back. In a moment, the tank was dark due to the short circuit of the circuit. The rolling smoke choked unbearable, and the temperature of the tank was rising.
"Abandon the car! Abandon the car!" Hewitt decisively ordered Hewitt's crew. In a panic, Hewitt wanted to grab the light machine gun next to him, but only caught a piece of cloth or something. Command map? Hewitt could no longer care about so many. The tank would explode at any time. Hewitt quickly climbed out of the car, jumped out of the tank, and rolled on the spot.
With a loud "boom", Hewitt's cute "Leopard 7" tank was blown into a mess of metal fragments due to ammunition in a moment. The only thing that is thankful is that only the motors and electrical crew of Hewitt's crew did not escape the metal grave.
"What?" Only then did Hewitt notice that the Nazi party flag was actually in his hand, which was not a map at all! It was really ridiculous.
Someone threw Hewitt to the ground from behind, helping Hewitt extinguish the flames on his clothes. Hewitt turned around and saw that it was the damn gunner who did not fire in advance without following the order. Hewitt grinded his teeth so much that he wanted to pull out his pistol and kill him on the spot. But looking at his innocent expression, especially the second-level Iron Cross hanging on his chest, Hewitt's anger was half extinguished, and he hugged the party flag in his arms, and asked him: "What's your name?"
"Corporal Steiner, sir, sir..."
"How did you get your medal?" Hewitt asked angrily.
"My crew destroyed twelve enemy tanks..."
"Twelve?" Huey nodded, thinking to himself, your fucking performance was not bad tonight, almost a shell destroyed a tank. No wonder Captain Rous arranged for you to be his own gunner.
"But, you just opened fire like a fucking novice!"
"There are too many enemies and too close. I'm worried that once they discover it first, we may not have the chance to fire..."
Corporal Ziegler approached with a submachine gun he picked up from somewhere, "Sir, what should we do?"
I don't want to debate with the corporal about the timing of firing, it has no meaning.
Chapter completed!
