Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 2: Pentium (Part 2)
"After eating it, Lafayette, finish eating it."
Le Dur put down the plate in his hand, he took out another loaf of bread from the rattan basket on the ground, then broke off half of it, and he stuffed the other half into the pocket of his uniform.
"You too, finish all the food. Don't be like a mother. This may be our last hot meal."
Ledur forcefully tore off the quick bread and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up his lunch box and took a sip of hot soup. "Hu" Le Dur took a long sigh, his face filled with a pleasant expression.
"Why don't you eat it, you must fill yourself up now." Le Dur tore another piece of hard bread.
"Now it’s difficult for military kitchens to cook such a hot meal for us. You must know that anything that smokes will attract the attention of the Germans. For the safety of our lovely chefs, from now on we will Rely on the dry bread and cold water. Drink all the soup and divide the rest of the bread. No one will give you food during the battle. You will know how precious the bread is."
But the soldiers didn't respond to Le Dur's words, they were silent, one by one just bowed their heads in a daze at their lunch boxes with a sad expression.
"Damn, do you still look like my soldiers? The battle has just begun, and the more powerful ones are still to come. You are so dejected now, how are you going to fight the next battle? How can we be worthy of the brothers who have left us. They are still looking at us there." Le Dur threw down the bread in his hand abruptly and stood up to scold the subordinates loudly.
"Look, Pierre, Doujean, Lasdie, Derant, they are lying there. They gave their lives for the great France, they died without regret. And we live Those who come down must complete the unfinished work of these heroes. We have to send those **** Germans into **** one by one." Le Dur pointed at the foot of a collapsed wall on the side of the battlefield. A row of stiff corpses shouted loudly: "They are one of us and our best brothers. Now the Almighty God has greeted them, hoping that they will have eternal rest in heaven. But if they see you now Is it possible for them to feel at ease like this? Do you just go to fulfill their entrustment to us? No, you can't go on like this. You can't defeat the Germans by depression and sorrow. We must cheer up, we must persist until the last moment, As long as there is one bullet in our rifle, and as long as our heart is still beating, we will continue to fight. We must avenge these sacrificed brothers, and we must collect blood debts from the Germans."
After yelling this sentence in one breath, Le Duer gasped and stared at the soldiers sitting around him, his eyes full of angry flames. The soldiers were deeply moved by Le Dur's words, and his words reignited the extinguished flames deep in the hearts of these soldiers. Their expressions began to become excited, and everyone looked at their squad leader with a reverent look.
Ledur calmed down his excitement, then picked up his lunch box, and said loudly to his men: "The enemy is still there preparing for the next attack. This time it will definitely be better than Once more violent. We will fight very hard, maybe some of us will sacrifice. Although dying for the motherland is the highest honor of a soldier, but we will not wait here obediently for the Germans to insert the bayonet into us Before they do this, we must make the Germans pay ten times a hundred times the price.
This is what I need you to do, and stain the land in front of our position with German blood, the land of France. But before you do this, I order you to eat all the food in your hands. Even if you can't finish it, you must keep it properly. You will need it. After eating, we divided into two groups to rest alternately, and the non-rest group followed me to repair the fortifications. Okay, start eating. Le Dur took a sip of the hot soup, bent over and picked up the loaf of bread on the ground, blew the dust on it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Sergeant, I..." Lafayette stood up excitedly, he found that he finally saw a real hero, but when he was about to say something, he was waved by Le Dur Stopped.
"Don't say anything, I understand what you want to say, everything is written in your expression. No need to say anything, eat, finish your soup." Le Dur swallowed laboriously After the bread in his mouth, he smiled and said, then he turned his head and said to those equally excited subordinates: "The same is true for you, and those beautiful things don't need to be said. Just use your actions to prove to me, remember. What I said earlier, I will watch by your side."
The soldiers swallowed what they wanted to say back into their stomachs. They nodded vigorously to Le Dur, then they picked up the lunch box, took the bread, and ate it.
"They are all good boys." Le Dur sighed secretly. He raised his head and drank the hot soup in the lunch box, and threw the lunch box into his own sundries bag. Le Dur turned and leaned on the bunker, picked up the telescope and looked at the position in front of him.
There is no longer a position, it is a **** hell. The once verdant field has completely lost its original appearance. The charred crater and the mud rolled up by the shells, the collapsed trenches, the burning support pillars, and the dark wicker shelters that are still smoking. Set up the foundation of this hell. Broken guns, scattered ammunition boxes, twisted barbed wire, shattered sandbag shelters and broken logs are the skeleton of this hell. What was left was the corpse and blood. The soldiers' corpses and stumps and broken arms covered the entire position. It was lucky to be able to find a complete body like his subordinates in it. Many soldiers only left a scorched and twisted stump or a **** arm, and many more people didn’t even have these left. They completely disappeared from the world under the terrifying fire. Only a fragment of a military uniform or a burnt backpack proves that they once existed.
The first line of defense has disappeared, and there is no complete trench there. All the bunkers and firepower points have been turned into a piece of scorched earth. Two platoons of soldiers were left on the first line of defense. They fought very tenaciously. No one tried to escape or retreat. The soldiers used their lives to prove their dignity to the enemy. They did not sacrifice in vain, and they also made those powerful enemies pay a heavy price. The corpses of no less than fifty soldiers were scattered in the open space in front of the position. The gray-green uniforms proved the identity of the soldiers. The German army shed the same blood on this position. The wreckage of the three German armored vehicles is still in the blue smoke. The once dazzling iron cross logo is only half left after being burned by the fire. The violent burning burns off the beautiful gray paint of the armored vehicle, and those places are orange-red. The metallic background color makes these armored vehicles that look weird in themselves even more ugly and hideous.
The losses of the German armored forces did not stop there. The wreckage of five Type II tanks collapsed behind the first line of positions. The corpses of the brave German tank soldiers lay around the tanks and had to fight with him. The car was burned to ashes together, or turned into a piece of smoking coke hanging on the exit of the charred turret.
The soldiers on the first line of defense should indeed be proud of their achievements, although none of them survived to accept those honors.
The German offensive was like lightning and thunder, and Le Dur felt a chill from the bottom of his heart when he thought of the short and tragic battle ahead.
When the Germans appeared in front of the battlefield, Le Durr just led his men to build their fortifications. The soldiers were very excited. Although it was not that they had never seen the German army, it was the first time that they had actually fought with them. Before that, they just retreated, retreated, and kept retreating. Now it's finally time to fight the Germans head-on. Everyone has an unspeakable impulse, an impulse to vent the humiliation and depression in their hearts.
The first group of Germans was Guderian’s reconnaissance force. They had long learned from the air force’s reconnaissance report that there was such a village fortress here, and their mission was to capture a small fortress.
The Germans didn't approach it at first, they just watched the situation here from a distance. A team of armored vehicles circled the village outside the range of the machine gun, and then they returned to the spot and stopped. Le Dur knew they were waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and when the next group of German troops arrived, the battle would officially begin.
The regiment officers also seemed to know this very well, but they obviously lacked the patience of the Germans, or they lacked the confidence to win the battle. As a result, they used regiment artillery to advance to the German team first. People started a fire. Six 105 mm caliber howitzers poured thirty or forty rounds at the German reconnaissance convoy. They did not get any results except that the Germans panicked and retreated a long distance. Le Duer finally learned the poor technique of the regiment's artillery. He suspected that the artillery shells might not even touch the paint on the German armored vehicles except for damaging the eardrums of several German soldiers. Le Dur squeezed a sweat for the battle he was about to face, praying that the artillery would behave slightly more normal after the battle began.
Ledur’s soldiers don’t look like that. They were blinded by the magnificent view of the shelling, and everyone shouted to cheer for the artillery. When the German armored vehicles began to retreat, they began to cheer again, as if they had won a huge battle. Le Dulle used his method to cool down the overheated brains of the soldiers. He gave the head of the guy who shouted the most vigorously, and then he gathered the group of soldiers who were cheering and jumping one by one. Pulling his ears back to their posts. But before he started to go crazy, the German army appeared on the horizon.
This is more effective than any kind of scolding. The Germans’ invisible armored convoy and countless ant colony of infantry cast their heads on the heads of all the French soldiers present. A basin of cold water. They knew that they were too happy, that the Germans had not been defeated, and it seemed that they would be defeated according to the current situation.
The Germans launched a battle line at a distance of more than two thousand meters from the village. In fact, this can not be said to be a battle line. They circled the village and surrounded the village densely. Then the first German attack began. They did not attack from all directions at the same time, the Germans only launched a small attack on the front of the village, which is the direction Ledoux guarded.
Everyone can see that the Germans want to test the defense of the village first, but Le Durr cannot take this lightly. Many times a tentative attack will turn into a regular large-scale attack. In the last war, such examples abound. Lieutenant Colonel De Wadouai ordered the first-line defensive forces to use all their strength to repel the enemy's attack, which not only taught the arrogant Germans a lesson but also boosted the morale of other soldiers. He never thought that this small-scale attack would be so tragically fought, nor did he expect that he would pay the entire front-line guard as a price.
The Germans were indeed making a tentative offensive, but the paranoid character of the German army led them to turn this temptation into a real charge. The first thing to start was the conventional artillery preparation. The German artillery used the 75mm infantry artillery to carefully sort out the French forward positions. The German shelling was very violent, and the intensity was surprising. No one would have thought that the Germans would have poured so many shells out of such a small position at such a cost. The continuous explosion sound made people almost indistinguishable, the huge fireball exploded into a piece on the first line, it looked like a mass of tumbling and burning clouds.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Le Dur could not help but wonder whether anyone could survive the next line of intensive shelling. The German shelling caused a riot in the French positions, and French soldiers had never seen such a terrifying sight. Compared with the bombardment of the Germans, the bombardment of the regiment's artillery just now was like a game.
All the French soldiers on the position were stunned looking at the tumbling cloud dance and the rising fireball. The violent explosion impacted their fragile eardrums, and the intense fire yao gas stimulated their respiratory tract, violent shock waves With a hot wave blowing across their skin, the fear of death is slowly occupying their hearts. The soldiers were frightened and collapsed by the sight of their eyes. The soldiers screamed and screamed with their heads open, but no one could hear their screams, not even them, everyone's ears. There was only one sound, the violent and pressure-filled explosion like thunder. One minute later, the Germans stopped the shelling, but the shelling continued in the hearts of the French soldiers, the explosions in their ears continued to ring, and the ground continued to tremble.
When the gunpowder on the battlefield has not yet cleared, the Germans have already begun their offensive. Five square-shaped Type II tanks slowly rushed toward the French army's front line with a roar. Following the tanks were a dozen armored vehicles and a whole company of German infantry.
The good quality of German infantry is perfectly embodied in this kind of coordinated battle between infantry and tank. They bent down to lower their body height as much as possible, and stepped on small steps to closely follow the armored vehicle forward. The firepower and hard armor of the tank will tear open the defense of the infantry, while the robbers and machine guns on the armored vehicles can provide them with close fire cover. The soldiers hid behind the solid body of the armored vehicle and marched safely toward the opponent's position. Before the final impact, they did not have to worry about the threat of enemy bullets. The opponent had no other way to cause fatal damage to them except shelling. The infantry’s mission is to surrender the remaining soldiers on the enemy’s position after the tank breaks through the enemy’s position, and finally occupy the enemy’s position completely. In the meantime, they are also responsible for protecting the fragile tail and flanks of tanks and armored vehicles as the enemy. When the infantry of Russia wanted to sneak attack on tanks or armored vehicles from these two directions, they would be ruthlessly attacked by these German soldiers.
This is the German Army’s most standard tank-tank cooperative combat mode, everything is so rigorous and meticulous. German armored commanders took all possible situations into consideration, and in their eyes this method of warfare was perfect. The German infantry strictly followed this rule, and the glorious record before this has proved to them that this is an effective way of fighting. But this time, they encountered troubles they had never encountered before, and their enemy was too tenacious.
The tank commander who drove in the first place watched the Frenchman’s position vigilantly through his observation window. Although he thought it was unlikely that someone would survive under the intensive artillery fire, he still Dare not care. The observation field of the second tank is very narrow, and in this kind of battle against the position attack, he can’t stand foolishly on the outside of the turret as a target. In this case, omission of any detail is fatal, because now What you see will enter a blind spot in your vision in a few minutes. A small anti-tank grenade can penetrate the armor of your tank only 15 mm thick and turn it into a large burning candle.
As expected, there was a sudden movement in the French position. Although the captain was mentally prepared for this, he opened his mouth in surprise when he saw pieces of Adrian helmets emerging from the dilapidated trenches. He couldn't believe that the French were not only Still alive, and judging from the current situation, there are not a few who have survived.
"This is car No. 1. The French are still alive and ready to shoot."
The captain pressed the switch of the communication machine to warn his colleagues.
"Understand."
A short but firm answer came from the headset. The five tanks turned their turrets to search for the target. They accelerated their speed and started charging towards the opposite French position.
The French soldiers on the first line of defense did survive the bombardment just now. This is because Dolvain relied on experience to ask them to deepen the trenches. Although several trenches were directly hit and caused some casualties. Besides, the other parts are basically preserved. The soldiers did not suffer much damage except that they were shocked enough by the shelling and suffered some damage to their hearing. When the reaction from the shelling passed, they stood up from the trenches one by one.
The French soldiers clasped the weapons they had just guarded tightly under them, and looked firmly at the steel monster that was leaping towards them. Everyone had forgotten their fear of death. They all knew what their final result would be, but no one thought of running away, they had no way out, they had had enough of the shame of running away, and the time had come to collect blood from the enemy.
No one knows which side fired first, and the battle began at that moment. The French soldiers furiously fired at the oncoming German tanks. The few remaining machine guns were also set up to spit flames at the group of German armored vehicles. The bullets hit like raindrops on the thin armor of the No. 2 tank and made a burst of sharp chirps.
The French soldiers’ shooting was futile. All their bullets were flew by the tank armor. Although the armor of the No. 2 tank was only a pitiful 15 mm, it was enough to withstand the attacks of these ordinary light weapons. The driver and the mechanic lowered the armor plate on their observation window. Now the driver can only adjust the direction of advancement based on the sights seen in the two small observation holes, and the speed of the tank began to slow down.
The French soldiers fired harder. They saw their bullets flying off the armor of tanks and armored vehicles, but they continued to shoot. There was only battle left in their minds. Only death can let them go. These brave people stop this crazy behavior.
German tanks and armored vehicles began their attack the moment the French soldiers emerged from the trenches. The 20mm machine guns were constantly strafing at the French soldiers in the trenches, and there were 20 shells in them. The edges of the trenches exploded, and the raised dust covered the entire trench with a layer of smoke.
The frantic blast of machine guns and machine guns caused heavy casualties to the French soldiers. As the tanks slowly approached, the counterattacks in the trenches began to sparse. France's first line of defense was about to be breached, and at this time the Germans did not suffer any personal losses.
Ledur looked at all this painfully from behind the bunker. The German hadn't reached his range yet, and he was powerless to deal with the situation on the first line of defense. His subordinates are also full of pain and anger watching the collapse of the first line of defense. They cursed the regiment officers. Not only did they stupidly put the anti-tank guns in the rear, but because of their insistence, the 20mm cannons allotted to the first line of defense were installed in accordance with their so-called regulations. In the open-air bunker, it was bombed into a pile of scrap iron in the first wave of German shelling. This would not be the case if the soldiers now had even one 20mm gun.
They are being slaughtered, but I can't help them at all. The soldiers can't help but clenched their fists with their teeth. They looked angrily at the two 37mm anti-tank guns next to them. They didn’t understand why the commander hadn’t ordered them to fire. If they fired, those comrades who were slowly dying might continue to live. . But the two guns were there, and their gunners’ faces were full of anger and helplessness. They were ordered not to fire because the enemy’s more powerful tanks had not yet appeared and these important weapons could not be exposed.
At this time, the second line of defense has received the order. When the first line of defense is breached, they must block the German attack at all costs, use all means to destroy the enemy's tanks that hit the defense circle, and finally strengthened In one sentence, at all costs.
The Germans started their final assault. The tanks increased their horsepower and rushed towards the trench. The armored vehicles spread out and spread out towards the wings. They made way for the infantry. The German infantry began to speed up their advancement. They shouted and charged towards the French position tens of meters away. The German infantry was running fast with rifles, the bayonet on the rifle gleaming with a dazzling cold light.
They have discovered that there is no French soldier in sight on the French position in front of them. The German soldiers yelled loudly, and they dashed forward excitedly. These soldiers seemed to have seen the dawn of victory in their eyes, and they would once again Prove the invincibility myth of the German Army, and they will easily obtain a brilliant victory without suspense.
But after a second, everything changed, and a rain of death fell on the German soldiers.
Just as the five tanks staggered over the trench and continued to slowly advance into the position, rows of Adrian helmets appeared on the trench again, and then a intensive rain of grenades fell on the heads of the German soldiers. Down. The F1 grenade used by France in World War I exploded again in German soldiers after more than 20 years. Although it was replaced with a new type of fuze, its power remained unchanged. Ten years after a violent explosion A number of German soldiers fell to the front of the battlefield, and more than twice as many German soldiers rolled and wailed on the ground nearby, holding their wounded parts.
The wisdom of the French soldiers gave them the initiative in this battle for the first time. They started shooting frantically at the German infantry who had escaped the cover of the armored vehicle. The dense bullets crushed the infantry on the ground and couldn't raise their heads. . After suppressing the German infantry, the French soldiers began to turn their heads to deal with the five No. 2 tanks that rushed through the trenches. A dozen French soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the No. 2 tanks, each in their hands. They all held a glass bottle with a burning cloth on the mouth of the bottle.
Tank No. 2 has been notified of the changes behind it from the radio. Now these tanks are slowly turning their heads, and their turrets are also turning to the rear. But it was too late for them. The combustion flask was accurately thrown onto the engine hood at the rear of the No. 2 tank, and the viscous liquid of gasoline mixed with rubber and white phosphorus in the broken flask burned. Three or four seconds later, the gasoline engine of the second tank was ignited by the burning liquid, and the tank turned into a big fireball in an instant.
The crew members in the tank yelled to jump out of the tank from their respective entrances and exits, but they were then beaten into beehives by the angry French soldiers, and some tank soldiers were shot dead before they could escape the burning carriage. On the narrow entrance.
The frontal battle continued, and turned back to the armored vehicles spreading out on the two wings. They used crazy shooting to make the German infantry escape the danger of being wiped out~ IndoMTL.com~ Under the cover of the armored vehicle, the German infantry stood up The wounded retreated slowly while fighting back. The armored vehicles used machine guns and machine guns to vent their depressed mood due to the tactics, and they slashed and turned the car upside down. Only after they withdrew from the range of the French soldiers did they turn around and drove towards their position.
Seeing the sight of the Germans retreating in embarrassment, the French soldiers on the forward positions could not believe their eyes. They couldn't help crying with excitement while looking at the dead German soldiers and burning armored vehicles lying in front of their positions. Full of eyes, they cheered loudly, yelled desperately, they shot into the sky, they vented their joy of surviving the first battle in every way they could think of.
The entire French position was cheering, and everyone applauded the brave soldiers. The French soldiers finally won a battle dignifiedly. This was the first victory of the French army when the German army was dominant.
Just when the French were immersed in the joy of victory, a familiar voice reverberated in their ears, and even the tide of cheers could not cover up this sharp scream.
The French soldiers couldn't help but stop their celebrations, and everyone looked up into the sky with doubts.
