Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 126: Street Fighting (Part 1)

Pulling the bolt, the trigger made a pleasant clicking sound, a golden bullet shell was thrown out of the barrel, and the shiny metal products rolled and fell on the sidewalk made of granite blocks. After bounced twice, he rolled into the drain beside the road.

"Reload! Cover me!" Sergeant Major William Nishizawa shouted, and he turned back into the corner.

Nishizawa knelt on the sidewalk with his back against the wall, holding a 98k rifle in one hand, and pulling a five-shot bridge clip from the leather bullet bag lying on the waist of an infantryman lying on the wall with the other hand. The young man's current situation is a bit bad. He was shot twice near the right shoulder socket, possibly injuring his lungs, but he was still alive.

The medical soldiers have wrapped the wounds and injected morphine. The new styptic powder is very effective. The bleeding from the external wound has been stopped, but the problem of internal bleeding cannot be dealt with under the current conditions. The medical soldiers gave the wounded an emergency chest puncture according to the method in the latest field first aid manual, which relieved the wounded's traumatic pneumothorax.

Now he can only do this step at best, and the rest of the emergency work must be done in a professional field hospital. The medical soldier told Nishizawa that if the wounded soldier can be sent to the military hospital for rescue in time, he should be able to survive and live a long time.

The machine gunner lying on the corner of the opposite street fired two consecutive long shots. The non-dispersible chain of the mg34 machine gun’s bullet delivery port had dropped to the ground, and a bright shell was scattered on the sidewalk. The machine gunner temporarily suppressed the opponent’s shooting, but the German soldiers knew that this situation could not last too long. In the previous exchanges of fire, the machine gunner had knocked out four or fifty drums. It was the ammunition carried by the deputy shooter. With the terrible rate of fire of the mg34 machine gun, this drum could not last long.

"Platoon leader, I will bring two comrades to rush over." It was Corporal Fletcher who was speaking as the squad leader of the second squad, a brave fighter. He is also a staunch member of the Nazi party.

"We need heavy firepower, otherwise it will be difficult to break through that barricade. The 50mm mortar can't chew the tortoise shell. Those guys' marksmanship are very accurate. We can't attack blindly." Nishizawa frowned and said, he Forced five bullets into the magazine, then pulled out the bridge clip, and threw the thin metal piece aside.

"We still need to replenish ammunition, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Squad leader Corporal Kundal lay flat on the ground and hit a short shot at the barricade in the distance. Then he straightened up and replaced his mp40 submachine gun with a new magazine.

Immediately, a bullet hit the spot where he was just lying down, and the copper armor rubbed a clear white mark on the granite block, and the ricochet flew from the ground and smashed across the small street. A bullet hole appeared in the forehead of the smiling pig on the advertising board of a butcher shop opposite.

"Good marksmanship, maybe a sniper, let the machine gunner go back." Kundel looked at the bullet marks on the ground behind him. He raised his hand to top the brim of his helmet and spit at the side.

Nishizawa raised his arm to the machine gun team on the opposite street corner and made an emergency retreat tactical sign language. Seeing this, the deputy shooter quickly grabbed the machine gunner's strap. The machine gunner and the mg34 were dragged back to the corner of the street. Sure enough, the next second, a bullet hit the place where the machine gunner was lying just now.

"This is even more troublesome. How long will the support we need arrive." Nishizawa put the rifle up against the wall, then picked up his mp40 submachine gun from the side, and he opened the barrel and looked at it. , Then press the magazine lock button to pull out the empty magazine.

"It's already on the road, two blocks away from us." The correspondent replied loudly, clutching his headset.

He is carrying the latest German tactical radio station, which is actually the German version of Galvin’s csr300 radio. This Galvin company registered a new trademark for radio equipment three years later. The famous Motorola.

However, at this time, csr300 is only a development project in the United States. Even the drawings have not been worked out. The first batch of products will not be finalized until 43 years, so this excellent walkie-talkie has become Telefunken’s original product. The Germans not only gave it a German equipment number of fug300. And the patent is still registered in the United States. If Motorola is not careful, then there will be a lawsuit to fight.

German electronics experts are no weaker than the United States. They just lack guidance. Telefunken’s experts made improvements based on the sketch drawn by the head of state, and all used German-made radio components. Although it is a bit cumbersome compared to similar products in the United States, and the appearance is full of Germanic iron-blood style from beginning to end, the specific performance is not much different from the original product, and there are some unique features of the German army.

For example, the shell is stronger than American products. The solid-eyed German Armament Bureau believes that the front-line combat personnel must be equipped with strong enough. Therefore, the steel plate panel is used to resist close-range pistol shots. This almost means that it can Holding the grenade, it might feel cumbersome to put it on soldiers of other countries, but for the aggressive Germanic barbarians, this is not a problem at all.

This kind of radio station. . . . More specifically, it is a walkie-talkie. If the conditions are good, it can make smooth voice calls with the same series of products within a range of 5 kilometers. At the same time, it can also use Morse code to communicate with higher-level units remotely when equipped with a key. It is suitable for the front-line command of battalion and company. With this kind of communication equipment, the German army's troop movement will become more flexible and changeable, strengthening the troop's ability to respond to emergencies, and it will never happen that the messengers brave bullets. Running out of breath, the result is outdated news. The commander can keep in touch with the front line, get first-hand information in time, and react to it immediately.

At the same time, there is also the famous handheld walkie-talkie that has almost become the trademark of the American soldier in the movie, but it is called fug500 in Germany, because this thing has already been produced in the United States. Root made a German enhanced version, changed to a more crude shape, you can choose to extend the antenna and throat microphone, overall heavier by half a kilogram than the American model, but there is one more that can be used for hand-to-hand combat Function, German soldiers generally expressed their satisfaction.

The mechanized infantry platoon of Nishizawa is in accordance with the normal procedures, and they should be issued with 500 handheld walkie-talkies. However, due to their special mission, as the scheduled close-range street fighting force, the combat environment of the Nishizawa platoon is It is complicated, there are many obstacles and interferences around, and the communication environment is harsh, so the superiors distributed them with 300 models with more power.

Mechanized infantry and armored grenadier seem to be the same unit, but in fact they are quite different. Although the mechanized infantry is maneuvering in vehicles, it is not limited to armored vehicles. Under normal circumstances, they ride in ordinary transport trucks, while most armored grenadiers ride in half-track armored personnel carriers.

This involves their different combat modes. Mechanized infantry is also called motorized infantry. In essence, they are pure infantry, only relying on mechanized vehicles to move. They still remain on the battlefield. Have to get out of the car and walk into battle. The armored grenadier is completely different, whether it is marching or fighting, in order to be able to keep up with the armored forces with strong off-road capabilities, they must always stay on the armored vehicles.

As an auxiliary to the armored unit, the grenadier moves closely with the armored unit. Usually, in battle, they also ride on their armored vehicles and use light weapons to shoot outside, and they will not get out of the car unless necessary.

So, when encountering the need to surrender the remaining enemy troops in the city and conduct close combat on the streets, this task was unsurprisingly placed on the mechanized infantry.

The mechanized infantry battalion where Nishizawa was in did not participate in the raid last night. They acted as a flanking cover force to build an encirclement outside Folkestone. The development of the war went smoothly. When the first round of light shined on the farmhouse outside Folkestone The sound of gunfire surging through the night had gradually ceased when the roof of the British infantry division ceased.

The British team has lost its organization, and the disintegrated soldiers fled all over the mountains. The German armored teaching battalion led the armored grenadiers to march toward Dover. They drove the remnants of the British army toward the established area. The remaining finishing work was left to the German mechanized infantry battalion on the flanks.

The German infantry was divided into several groups based on platoons. Then, according to the city map obtained by the intelligence department, the area to be swept was divided into more than 30 blocks. The final occupation was carried out in accordance with the latest urban combat manual of the German High Command.

The German Army is no stranger to street fighting. It has also tried new street fighting tactics in France, but the resistance of the French is not strong~IndoMTL.com~ so it did not cause too much trouble to the Germans. According to the command of the headquarters, Nishizawa's platoon was assigned to two theaters. His platoon had to search every building in these two blocks, find the hidden enemies, and capture or destroy them.

Originally, the Germans thought that the British army had already fled, and there would not be much British forces left in the city. The possibility of them being resisted was very small. Perhaps they only needed to show up on the street and the other party would surrender directly. , As they encountered in the Low Countries. The result was beyond the expectations of the Germans. Nishizawa met fierce resistance as soon as they entered the city.

The Fifth and Sixth Infantry Divisions left much more troops in the city than the Germans imagined. The original mission of these soldiers was to clean up the wreckage area, collect the remaining materials and ammunition, and search and rescue survivors. Because they worked too late, many platoons did not return to the barracks to rest, but simply stayed at the ruined site and found some remnant buildings nearby to rest overnight.

When the Germans launched a raid at night, these troops were confused. Because they didn’t know what was going on, contact with their superiors was interrupted, and they didn’t dare to move blindly at night. They chose to stand by. So after dawn they stayed with the German infantry. (To be continued.) () "The Battle of Resurrection in the Third Reich" only represents the author Feng Rui's point of view.
