Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 38: Blood Path (End)
The German soldiers did not suffer any loss before entering the church gate. The sudden suppression shot and the precise bombardment of grenades instantly destroyed the outer defense lines of the British army.
This was what Kaorich expected, and he was not proud of it. On the contrary, he is now regretting that he didn't let the patrol unit carry the grenades, otherwise the previous embarrassing confrontation might not have occurred at all.
The German army has actually developed and equipped this light infantry firepower projection system for a long time, but due to the output, quality, and other reasons that are difficult to express in the early products, this weapon has become a small number of troops only under special circumstances. Allotted equipment.
as a non-standard equipment, coupled with the Army’s harsh regulations on the use of this weapon environment, ordinary infantry platoons until 1940 only a few professional soldiers issued this weapon.
But what is strange is that in the advanced German infantry training course, every soldier is required to be able to use this weapon proficiently. From this we can see that the German command organization actually still supports this kind of convenient and flexible firepower. Very thoughtful.
The battle in this situation is most suitable for the use of grenade. The 50mm mortars equipped by ordinary troops have no effect in this combat environment due to the relationship between the curved trajectory and the range. What's more, the patrol team dropped the small mortar in the camp in order to reduce the load. .
The direct fire of grenades broke the deadlock. The church is not a fortress after all. Those masonry walls and roofs cannot withstand the bombardment of grenades. The British machine gun firepower and sniper shooting points that caused the infantry to lose heavy headaches. Shrouded in the fireball of the grenade explosion, the lives of British soldiers were also wiped out with the splashing of broken bricks and ash.
Kaourich immediately started the charge with the soldiers.
Kaourich’s assault team, as a direct combat unit under the head of the head of state intelligence office, was equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment of the German army at that time, and had a special priority that ordinary army units envied.
At the beginning of its formation, this unit showed its extraordinaryness. All soldiers are elites selected from the best ground combat units in the Army and Air Force. In addition to being familiar with ordinary Army conventional combat, they have also received a lot of unconventional combat training.
They had been trained with the German Intelligence Agency’s Special Mission Training and Construction 800th Squadron, the latter being the famous Brandenburg Squadron.
Although Kaulihi’s subordinates may not be able to match those armed spies in some skills, the Brandenburg Squadron is not the opponent of these professional soldiers at all in terms of combat effectiveness.
In the confrontation exercises held at the end of the training, Kaulihi’s commandos took only half an hour to wipe out the group of secret saboteurs in military uniforms, and only lost themselves. Less than one class of personnel.
Before the war, many people in this assault team followed the Second Battalion, 1st Regiment, 7th Paratrooper Division, which was part of the Air Force at the time (originally they were directly under the German Army Headquarters) and accepted in Hildesheim Special operations training, and these subjects are for the subsequent raid on Aiben. Prepared for the Emma Fort.
Interestingly, before Reinhardt came to power, the relationship between this fierce armed force was actually affiliated with the Logistics Management Office of the German Wehrmacht. This battalion-level armed force was attached to the 326th under the General Affairs Office of the General Staff of the Army. The number of the 15th Garrison Battalion is mixed in the army sequence list.
At that time, everyone literally regarded them as a group of soldiers guarding the warehouse. The upper command organization did not even know that Hitler had such a powerful special force in Germany.
Reinhardt successfully hid his trump card, which is one of the most lethal chess pieces in his hand, preparing to launch a fatal blow to his "close comrades" at a critical moment.
And now Xu Jun has easily taken over this legacy, the young dictator of the Empire is very clear about the value of special forces in war.
The excitement and excitement he felt when he realized that he had such a force in his hands is hard to describe in words. After carefully investigating and reviewing the personnel composition and combat effectiveness of this force, he made a big splash. This force is incorporated into the ranks of the troops directly under the head of state base camp, and is managed and commanded by the newly formed Eye of Odin.
Moreover, Xu Jun did not hesitate to issue an order to expand it at that time, and recruited young soldiers with the best conditions and qualities from the trained army recruits to recruit into this force, and directly promote this special operations battalion. To the size of regiment-level combat units.
Xu Jun’s original intention is to use the guidance of those veterans who have received strict training to train a batch of new blood for the special forces, and quickly increase the size and strength of the German special forces.
But he did not expect that these recruits would be put into actual combat so quickly. The strength of this unit has not been strengthened. On the contrary, due to the general lack of combat experience of the recruits, the overall combat capability has been reduced a lot.
Kaulishi led such a mixed assault unit, new and old, only one-third of the entire force was veterans with strict special training, and one-third of these veterans did not have any Actual combat experience or only participated in one or two small-scale battles.
Veterans are like this, and the recruits are even more conceivable. In the eyes of Kaorich, these newcomers who have just received a special operations training can only be regarded as a group of rookies with eggshells stuck on their buttocks. Although these soldiers can be called powerful and elite compared with ordinary army soldiers, they are only a group of powerful and elite rookies.
Kaourich was deeply worried about the current situation of the troops, but he did not feel or expressed the slightest dissatisfaction with Xu Jun's hasty decision.
Kaourich’s loyalty to Reinhardt is beyond doubt. From the day this force was established, the fate of him and his comrades has been closely related to the three-headed dog. Together.
And the fierce three-headed dog did not disappoint these brave and loyal soldiers. Not only did it establish dazzling feats in just a few months, but it also successfully climbed to the peak of imperial power. Become the man who controls the destiny of all Germans.
Jack, the former Reinhardt also knew that the troop must go through actual combat to have real combat effectiveness. He used various methods to secretly throw this troop into the battlefield.
is generally a company-level squad operation, and in order to avoid people's eyes, they usually can only wear air force paratroopers or special SS uniforms.
They gained a lot of valuable combat experience in those secret operations, and at the same time suffered a lot of losses, and because of their special identity, those achievements and merits that should belong to them can only be hanged on others’ On the head, this makes those soldiers often feel a little depressed.
But with all the support of the German faith, the officers and soldiers chose to endure silently. They believed that one day they would be rewarded for everything they did.
So, when they learned that they had been dispatched to the headquarters of the head of state and under the direct command of the head of the empire, everyone excitedly ran to the largest tavern outside the barracks and drank all night.
They feel that all their previous efforts have finally paid off, and they are much more than they expected. The head of state is directly under the army, which means that their value has been affirmed by the head of the Empire and the entire German Wehrmacht. They can finally get Walking into the sun in the shadows and accepting the honor they deserve, every soldier and officer vowed to be loyal to their great head of state.
After accepting this mission, Kaourich embarked on combat deployment with the attitude of accumulating the most lacking combat experience from the troops.
But when he learned that the ambush was an elite British commando, he gave up his previous idea of easily solving the battle.
Although on the surface he has always shown disdain for the British special forces in front of the soldiers, from the bottom of his heart, he does not dare to underestimate those British colleagues.
Before that, he had never known the existence of British special forces, but he had a foreboding that this force would not be a simple role. Now it seems that his judgment and concerns are reasonable.
Such a precise deployment of an ambush has mobilized troops and firepower that are absolutely superior to the enemy, and it still allows a small group of enemies to successfully break through.
And a platoon-level patrol can't pick up the British soldiers hiding in a lonely church. Although there are various reasons for this, Kaourich is still very disappointed with the current performance of this unit.
If this platoon was composed of the earliest veterans, even if there were no weapons such as grenades, this farce would have ended long ago, and it would not have reached the current level in any case.
Looking at the young soldiers who died in battle, Kaourich felt extremely sorry. Although these soldiers were inexperienced, relying on the kind of training they received, they should be able to easily cope with any battle between conventional troops.
But they didn't expect that they would encounter such a formidable enemy in their first battle. The path of merit and glory that these young soldiers longed for was forcibly cut off at the beginning, which really made people feel the cruel fate.
When the commando rushed to the gate, Kaorich originally thought he would be stubbornly resisted by the British, and he had already prepared to face a hail of dense bullets.
But when the Germans kicked open the door and rushed into the church, they found only three or four British soldiers hiding behind the altar and shooting at the German commandos who rushed into the door with a murderous shot, and the impact point was far away from the target. The deviation is very outrageous.
The British have reached the end of the crossbow, it seems they are close to collapse. After reaching this conclusion, the German commandos skillfully relied on the neatly arranged oak benches to alternately cover and approach the altar.
Before the soldiers understood what was going on, they were thrown to the ground by a torrent of bullets. They were hit by two British machine guns on the corridor on the second floor.
The British set up a simple trap and used a small number of soldiers to attract the attention of German soldiers. When they were about to assault the altar, the empty hall became an ideal hunting ground for the two condescending Bren machine guns. .
The eager German soldiers ignored the control and vigilance of the battlefield environment. The five commandos who fell into the trap instantly turned into bodies full of bullet holes.
The poor marksmanship of the British soldiers suddenly became more precise as the German soldiers fell to the ground. The German commandos were immediately caught in the threat of British crossfire, and they had to hide behind the thick pillars of the church. Fire at enemies in two directions.
Just as the German army in the hall was in a bitter battle, the battle at the back door was also fierce, and it quickly fell into a white-hot state.
The soldiers of the squad who assaulted from the back door fought the British commandos in a **** hand-to-hand battle under the leadership of Sergeant Hafgen.
Hafogen’s assault went very smoothly, without any trouble before rushing into the corridor outside the kitchen. But in the corridor, they ran into a full squad of British commandos who had been waiting there.
After dozens of seconds of violent and violent fire, the soldiers who had no time to reload the bullets collided with their weapons.
The Englishman’s Thomson had already finished shooting. This is the first thing the Germans feel grateful for. The second thing that can be thankful is that the British have also finished their grenades at the same time, otherwise Fred and His subordinates may have been annihilated in that kitchen long ago.
Now the British are like the Germans, and they are all carrying 98K rifles, which are part of the mysterious munitions.
In contrast, the Germans are more familiar with the use of this reliable weapon. What is more beneficial to the Germans is that the British 98K does not have a bayonet. This is due to the fact that Mauser has never used bayonet and rifle. The habit of boxing together.
The narrow corridor is not suitable for stabs with rifles, but the first blow of the German soldiers stabbed two British commandos.
The German arrogantly shook the rifle with the bright bayonet inserted, while the British can only use the 98K short barrel stall or use the **** to fight back, often before the British soldier’s rifle **** fired. In the German soldier's face, chest and stomach have been pierced by the opponent's bayonet.
The British soon discovered that this unfair battle was developing towards the German personal assassination performance, and they were reduced to the target, and they couldn’t afford this **** loss. The British soldiers decisively abandoned their hands. His rifle pulled out their fighting dagger from his waist.
The situation suddenly reversed. The dagger exerted its full power in a small space, and the German soldiers could not resist the British's personal attacks with their rifles.
So, the surviving Germans also abandoned the obstructive rifles and drew their short weapons to greet the British. From grenades to infantry spades, the battle turned into a **** street fight.
The battle in the hall finally ended when two British machine gunners were killed one after another, and the British soldiers behind the altar also fought for their king to the last breath in the sound of two grenade explosions.
Kaourich didn't feel the joy of victory at all. In order to eliminate these stubborn enemy forces, three German commandos were killed. This gave him an idea about the tactics and training of the existing troops. He felt that a report should be written to suggest that the regiment should add close-range indoor combat training to the training curriculum.
When Kaorich led the remaining commandos around the altar and rushed to the back of the church, the fight in the corridor outside the kitchen finally came out.
The same brave and strong British commandos have been wiped out. The person responsible for this consequence is the German Sergeant Hafgen.
Hafogen was squeezed behind by his subordinates from the beginning of the hand-to-hand combat. Although he took the opportunity to change the magazine for his MP38, he found that there was no chance to shoot. The hallway was crowded with wielding weapons. Soldiers together.
The depressed Hafogen simply threw down the submachine gun and drew the infantry **** into the battle. However, he finally got a bit longer than the thugs. He used a super weapon that everyone on the scene was not qualified to equip. Lugar pistol.
So the master sergeant who succeeded in cheating is now holding the blood-stained infantry **** in one hand and the Lugar pistol, which is still faintly smoking, and triumphantly inspecting the corpses of British soldiers lying in the corridors. The subordinates who survived this hand-to-hand fight bandaged the wounds for several injured comrades.
Kaourich ordered Fred to take a few soldiers to the second floor and the attic to check the situation, search for remnants of British commandos, and then let the soldiers squat behind the pillars that had been by the door since they entered the door. Sebel called over, but before the soldier turned and acted, Father Sebel had already rushed in front of Kaorich like a gust of wind.
"Mr. Captain, God, those cursed bandits! Mr. Captain, you must help me find the Holy Cross. They stole the Holy Cross. It’s no longer there. It must be the damned ones. The British stole it..."
Saibel grabbed Kaorich’s arm and screamed in tears, but seeing the flickering tears in his eyes, Kaorich felt that this guy was really sad.
"Ah! God, blood, so much blood, so many corpses, what happened here... God..."
It seems that Sebel only discovered the corpses in the corridor at this time. The French priest screamed and jumped to the side, frantically making a cross on his chest.
"This guy finally found out. I thought he didn't care about it."
Kaourich patted the trembling priest on the shoulder.
"These are the thieves who stole your Holy Cross. My soldiers have already punished them for God. Let's go outside and say."
Kaourich also felt that the smell of blood in the hallway was too strong. Although he sometimes enjoyed the smell, he thought that a lot of the blood was shed by his subordinates, he thought it would be better to leave.
"May God forgive them. By the way, Mr. Captain, Holy Cross, it is gone, it was on the altar."
Walking into the hall, Kaorich found a bench and sat down.
"I see, I haven't seen the thing you brag about for a long time since I entered the door. I think the British must have taken it away."
"Report to the sir."
Fred took Wolf and Nimitz quickly down the stairs, carrying a bag of things in his hand.
"We have already searched. We found the bodies of seven British soldiers in the corridor on the second floor. The bodies of two machine gunners and two snipers were found in the attic. Twelve were found in one room. The British wounded are all dead. No survivors of the enemy were found. But I found this in another room."
Fred opened the bag. It looked like a blanket on the outside, and inside it was a neatly folded set of German colonel uniforms.
"What is this? Father, why do you still have German military uniforms in your church?"
"Ah, this is Colonel Rudolph's uniform. I know that sign. Since two weeks ago, he has often come to me to pray. He said he likes the scenery on the cliff behind him. He is a kind German An officer, a devout believer, very educated, and a decent gentleman. Sometimes he will bring a few bottles of good wine to see me, and sometimes he lives here."
"You also made a German colonel? Why didn't you tell me in the beginning."
Fred asked.
"I forgot, sorry, Mr. Captain, I really forgot for a while."
Saibel frowned and replied.
"Is this the colonel staying here?"
"It should not be. He always came in this uniform. He also wore this uniform when he left. I didn't see him with other luggage."
"Then when was the last time he was here."
"Two days ago, he stayed here for one night. The next morning I found no one in his room. I think he must have left."
"Well, I see."
Kaulixi frowned and said, looking at the uniform.
Sebel stood aside with his back arched, and occasionally glanced at the bodies of the British soldiers beside the altar.
"We will move the corpse away soon. Don't worry."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Captain."
Saibell forced a smile.
"However, the Holy Cross..."
"Fred, there are several officers in the body."
"No, none, sir."
"Mr. priest, did you say that there are several officers among the British?"
"Yes, there seem to be four, and one of them is injured."
"That's right, I think they must hide in the secret escape route that Father Sebel said."
"Ah, then please send someone to chase it immediately. I am willing to lead the way, Mr. Captain, as long as I can recover the Holy Cross, I will not hesitate no matter how dangerous it is."
"How did you become brave, Mr. Father."
Nimitz looked at the priest sideways.
"This is the sacred mission God has given me. God will take care of me, Mr. Lieutenant."
Saibell straightened his chest and looked fearless.
"Okay, Mr. Priest, the problem now is that I really can’t pursue the pursuit now. In order to eliminate these British people, we have lost a lot. Now there are only half of the platoon of German soldiers who can continue to fight. According to the current situation, the following battle can only be continued until the follow-up troops arrive.
We are not clear about the following situation. I heard you say that the terrain in the secret tunnel is very complicated, which is very dangerous.
Fred, you and I have seen what a cave is like. There will be countless hidden points and forks. It is definitely a good place to ambush. Without sufficient preparation, I will never take my hands recklessly. To die.
But don’t worry, trust me, they will stay in that hole before dark and won’t run away. "
Kaourich took out the cigarette case from his pocket~IndoMTL.com~ drew one out and put it in his mouth, then handed the cigarette case to Fred.
"Why don't they run away?"
Fred asked suspiciously.
"It's very simple, they won't be so stupid that they appear on the empty sea during the day, that is suicide, but it is different at night."
Nimitz lifted his chin triumphantly.
"That's right, so we still have time to prepare now, and now we wait for Lieutenant Steinhall to bring the troops over."
Kaourich stretched his arms vigorously, and then leisurely spit out a smoke ring, and the ashes fell gently on the ground covered with blood-stained boot prints.
"Finally, I caught those guys in the fishing nets. Although the work below is equally dangerous, it should not be too difficult. After all, there are only a few people left."
Kaourich turned his face to look at the commandos who had gathered the bodies of their comrades.
"Those who survived the rookies should learn a lot in this battle, the journey of blood will never end, no one knows what is waiting for them in front of them, hoping to lead these soldiers. Come to the end.
Woni, how are you now? I miss you. . . . Kaorich raised his head and slowly spit out a puff of smoke~IndoMTL.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at~IndoMTL.com~
