Chapter 90

In terms of momentum, American rocket launchers are not as magnificent as Soviet Katyusha, but they can still turn the target area into a sea of ​​death fire. After two years, the Soviet officers and soldiers heading south of Bavaria once again tasted the power of the "organ", but many people were still unclear when they died. In the blocking area west of Mildorf, more than a thousand German soldiers affiliated to the 1st Grenadier Division used various ordinary or unusual combat methods, and blocked the Soviet army for three hours under the huge gap in strength. Until the Soviet aviation army overcomes the troubles of rain and snow, they forcefully participated in the war. Many German artillery were fired.

As soon as the rocket launcher opened fire, it was suppressed in the air, which relieved the embarrassment of the Soviet ground troops. However, the precious three hours were enough to allow the German troops in the city of Mildorf to re-allocate their troops. The two battalions of imperial guards transferred from friendly neighboring troops also entered the city of Mildorf through a temporary pontoon bridge built on the Isar River. Soon after, the pontoon bridge was blown off by Soviet fighters, and the German troops who were defending the main position of Mildorf were truly in a situation of fighting on the back-to-earth. The desperate situation did not make the German officers and soldiers despair. When fighting locally, everyone had a heart to defend their country. Putting aside the desire to escape, the soldiers united and vowed to fight to the death with the enemy!

On the same day, the stalemate situation in Munich City, which had been stalemate for several days, finally changed. On the streets that could hardly be called streets, the clanging tracks were like naughty children scratching porcelain plates with metal spoons, stimulating people's eardrums, heart, lungs and even souls. Against the backdrop of continuous gunfire, tanks sprayed with white iron cross logos in a striking place moved forward in a majestic state, stopping from time to time to fire towards near, far, static or moving targets, and their sight was full of wreckage of Soviet chariots and soldiers. Although their fighting will is still very firm, they are trapped in a bag.

The Soviet officers and soldiers in the encirclement were facing an increasingly scarce situation. The tanks were unable to move due to exhaustion of fuel, and the machine guns were no longer powerful because of exhaustion of ammunition. Due to the insufficient expected large-scale assembly of the German army, the Soviet troops attacking Germany from Austria seemed to be quite hasty in preparation. They did not have sufficient air defense weapons, nor did they provide enough anti-tank equipment to the infantry. In the face of the strong attack of the elite German tank troops, the infantry could only rely on unmovable tanks and self-propelled artillery to resist, or use local materials to make the "Molotov cocktail" that veterans are very familiar with!

In fierce battles, light gray-painted wheeled and semi-tracked armored vehicles marched hard in the rubble. In order to suppress the Soviet soldiers who were fighting stubbornly, their machine guns and machine guns seemed to be completely quiet for a minute. Some were equipped with mortars, constantly attacking defenders hidden behind obstacles with high throwing ballistics. These armored vehicles were not all special combat vehicles, and their very limited armor also became the preferred targets of Soviet anti-tank combatants. As long as they entered a street located on the front line, the bullet holes on their bodies would increase rapidly. This attack sometimes was indebted. Sometimes it was extremely deadly. The tragic battles test the technical weapons of both sides, but also tested the will of officers and soldiers. Infantry wearing large-eared steel helmets and dark gray combat uniforms were undoubtedly the traditional symbol of the German army. Although they are fighting now

In fact, they belong to the invincible mechanized legion, but these well-trained and experienced warriors are obviously more courageous than their companions hiding in tank armored vehicles: they are in groups of several or more than twenty, and they "jump forward" on dangerous streets with agile figures - sometimes they stay for a short time with damaged houses, broken flower beds or vehicle wreckage, and sometimes they walk as fast as they fly under the cover of their companions,

Bullets flew over their heads and beside them. The enemy sometimes hid very secretly, and sometimes hid in difficult positions. So the riflesmen took out their hunting heads, the submachine gunmen always "charged" along the corners, and the anti-tanks played the role of "urban demolition team". With this courage to fight violence with violence and head-on battles, the German officers and soldiers gradually won the overwhelming momentum on the battlefield after making regrettable sacrifices.

In an underground bunker located west of Munich, dim lights reflected busy figures. At the square table that was temporarily pieced together, more than a dozen German generals in gray uniforms expressed their opinions on the fierce battles in the city.

"In the past few days, we have suffered heavy casualties from all the units of the siege. The two newly put into combat have lost 41 tanks and self-propelled artillery. Many soldiers are worried about whether we can bear such losses. Everyone, as the leader judged, the significance of using the Munich battlefield to carry out an annihilation war on the main force of the Soviet Austrian Front is extremely far-reaching! We must win this victory at all costs, at all costs!" Marshal Manstein, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Munich Battle, conveyed his attitude in a sonorous tone. Compared with his colleagues around him, his greatest advantage is the series of victories he won against the Soviet army, although those victories have been a long time ago.

"I think everyone here has a deep impression of what Marshal Manstein said! The ability of the elite armored troops to attack is beyond doubt, but... whether our most precious tanks should be put into urban areas where roads are difficult to move, or even roads are no longer available, we should plan more carefully from a global perspective!" The person who put forward different opinions was Heinrich Ebebach, the commander of the Tank Brigade of the Imperial Guards, the commander of the Tank Brigade of the Base Camp. For the current German team, every tank is indeed hard-won, and we should be cautious when investing in the battlefield.

"I personally insist that winning Munich is more meaningful than everything!" Manstein's tone was aggravated without hostility.

Abebach's words also deal with the matter, without any contempt for the "Emperor God": "What I am worried about now is a very realistic problem: When the situation in Munich is settled, infantry troops can win alone. Whether there are tank troops participating in the war may only be the difference between victory a few hours earlier and a few hours later. If this elite armored force is retained intact, it will likely play a key role in the subsequent combat operations!"

"Don't be impatient! The significance of annihilation of the enemy in Munich is indeed better than anything else, and it will inevitably become the most important turning point of this war! Because of this, the leaders sent telegrams one after another, hoping that we would work harder to end the battle before the Soviet reinforcements arrived! However, in the telegram, both commanders gave us the power to determine the situation of the war by themselves!" As the nominal commander of the German armed forces, Marshal Von Weix did not clearly express his tendency, but the pressure on his shoulders was unquestionable.

"In my opinion, the best way to avoid tug-of-war and stalemate is to attack decisively! I suggest: In addition to the troops responsible for covering the flanks, all elite troops will be put into the attack tonight!" Manstein said with a clear attitude, "The soldiers are full of fighting spirit and ammunition supply is sufficient. We will crush the slightly dominant enemy with strong will. But time is very urgent, and the enemy may break through our encirclement at any time, and the blocking troops are under tremendous pressure at all times!"

"Time is really tight, we must win a decisive victory before the enemy reverses the situation." Von Weix murmured.

In the city where gunfire sounds have not stopped, on the east bank of the Isar River, German infantry holding various guns were still pushing eastward with difficulty. In the pile of rubble, a non-commissioned officer with anti-aircraft gun logo on his arm held a slightly small binoculars in his right hand and kept waving with the order in his mouth. Two strong soldiers dragged a 20mm single-barrel machine gun with two ammunition behind them. Although the barrel of this type of artillery with large tires for vehicles was slender, it was obvious that it was more bulky than infantry guns of the same caliber. If the anti-aircraft guns that needed continuous shooting were light, the recoil of the ammunition would make them "dance" too fiercely!

After they took their seats, the two gunners pulled and pushed each other in a tacit understanding, and without much effort, they turned the anti-aircraft gun that had originally been facing the back. Then, one of them adjusted the muzzle and the other installed the gun cartridge, and the whole process was smooth and there was no trace of drag!

There were many corpses scattered all over the street, and the breath of death from the battlefield puts invisible pressure. The non-commissioned officer leaned his thin body against the corner of the wall, his eyes never leaving the telescope. At this time, the sky was getting darker. The outline of the building was blurred, but the fires jumping at the muzzle were even clearer!

"The street intersection in front of the left! Second floor window!"

As soon as the sirens finished speaking, he heard a bullet roar. Life and death on the battlefield were no longer controllable by humans, and subtle deviations were not something that human ears could recognize. Before the sirens could pray, the gunner, who was half a meter to his left, had already fallen to the ground!

There was no sense of luck in my heart, and the non-commissioned officer shouted hurriedly: "Phil?Phil! Medical Soldier! Medical Soldier! Someone was injured and needed first aid!"

Battlefield rescue is both humane and common sense. The ammunition hand on the left immediately stepped forward to check the injuries of his companions, but the battle would not be suspended. The second ammunition hand automatically filled the vacancy of the gunner. After a brief hesitation, the other gunner also followed the previous instructions of the non-commissioned officer to make the final fine-tuning of the artillery.

when!

The sudden bullet rubbed a few sparks on the cannon shield, and disappeared after rebounding.

Within the range, there were probably Soviet gunmen who had already set their sights on this gun team. The non-commissioned officer was both shocked and angry: "Don't worry about him, open fire!"

When the bullet hit the gun shield, the gunner instinctively lowered his head. However, because the anti-aircraft gun had been adjusted in place, he still pressed the shooting control button - because there was no fixed gun position and the gun was shot forward with a flat shot, the anti-aircraft gun more than half a ton of them jumped back slightly in the roar of "dongdong", and it looked like an invisible magic hand was controlling this large "toy"!

The artillery fire was so close that it was confused, but the non-commissioned officers stared at the building more than a hundred meters away. It was obviously damaged by the German bombing or artillery bombardment. Most of the six-story buildings had collapsed, but there was still a small half left on the side of the street. The previous machine gun fire was a window on the second floor.

Although the single-barrel anti-aircraft guns, which usually serve as temporary air defense during the marching of troops, do not have armor-piercing shells, they are still competent for light armored targets and ordinary bunkers. The sound of cannons still echoes on the streets, and the dilapidated building pointed at the muzzle has risen one after another. Judging from the huge gaps that suddenly appeared on the exterior wall, the Soviet machine gun team hiding in the room seems to be unable to escape death!

The shooting of anti-aircraft guns requires both fast and accurate. Within three seconds, the continuous and rapid shooting completely wiped out the special magazine equipped with 20mm machine shells. The main body of the half of the building is still there, but from the outside, there are no signs of life activity.

"Sir, Phil was shot in the lungs and his injuries were very bad. We have to send him to the field hospital immediately!" The medical staff did not appear in time, but the experienced veteran was enough to make the most basic judgment on common injuries. As soon as the sound of artillery subsided, he couldn't wait to report to his superiors.

The young non-commissioned officer ordered without hesitation: "Please carry him to the back, hand him over to the medical staff and come back immediately!"

The two ammunition soldiers dared not hesitate at all, lifted their companions who had already started bleeding from the corner of their mouths and retreated in the opposite direction. At this time, the German infantry suppressed on both sides of the street stood up and pushed forward. However, for them, an obvious bad reality is that most of the buildings in Munich are of solid quality, with thick walls and floors blocking the noise to the greatest extent during peacetime, and in wartime, they became ubiquitous solid fortresses!

As they were about to pass the next street intersection, the German infantry passing through the ruins fell several times under the revived Soviet fire. The team in front tried to rush into the building directly, but before they could reach the staircase full of various debris, the two grenades that fell one after another completely blocked their way.

Although his attacking footsteps were not completely stopped, the non-commissioned officer who witnessed this scene was still extremely upset. He threw down his telescope, leaped to the left like a monkey, and jumped behind the shield of the artillery. The remaining gunners consciously moved back, fired the cannon, pulled the magazine, and loaded it. In just a few seconds, the non-commissioned officer skillfully adjusted the muzzle. During this period, the attacking infantry used their weapons to shoot violently at the damn window, and the dark red light spots flew up. Although they temporarily suppressed the opponent's firepower, the black grenade flew out from several other windows. After an explosion, the situation repeated again!

The fire that jumped rapidly during the machine gun shooting was still stubbornly jumping behind the window. The officer narrowed his eyes, pressed his whole body to the position of the cannon shield, and shouted fiercely: "Send you to hell!"

Within three seconds, 20mm machine shells flew out, and dark red light spots left a series of bullet holes on the exterior wall of the building, but there was no trace of the window. In order to enhance its defense, the Soviet army piled up many objects behind the window, but that was of no use at all. (To be continued...)
