Server SkyVids Link 816 Version 817
The final result of the shelling of the bridge was quite satisfactory. At least under the existing artillery conditions, the combat mission of the shelling of the bridge could be completed. So after a brief meeting and a series of action plans were finalized, Rokosovsky announced the end of the meeting.
He walked back to his office, and then saw Wolf Rokosovsky, who was already waiting there, crossing his legs without saying a word. He slowly walked back to the back of his desk, looked at the man with a scarred face, and asked, "If you are sure to regain the railway bridge now...?"
"No!" Wolf's unique and strange voice sounded, and said with a hint of disdain: "I once reminded you, but at that time we didn't know what the Germans wanted to do... Now that there has been occupied by German paratroopers. When I drive the tank, it's almost dawn. If they delay for a while, I must be forced to retreat... If I don't do it well, even I may die there."
After he said this, he stood up and walked to the door casually: "When it's right, I will move. I know he's coming, I can feel it. I will kill him, and then hang his head as my souvenir in front of the tank!"
Wolf is fierce, even more than Renlai in terms of killing people. But he is not a fool with high force and IQ that is worrying. On the contrary, he is a cunning wolf, a cunning beast. He will never easily put himself in danger. This is also the knowledge he and Renlai learned together in the Wolf Knight School.
So even though he felt that Rennes had come, he was still very cautious in waiting for the opportunity, hiding himself in the dark, and peeping at his prey in the dark. What he wanted was a death game that would inevitably kill Rennes, rather than taking the risk to challenge Germany's superior forces.
The attack aircraft bombers in the sky are likely to appear in time, destroying Soviet tanks to help repel the Soviet attack. In this case, it is definitely a thankless job to attack rashly. In Wolf's opinion, this is a job that cannon fodders should do, and it has nothing to do with him, a person who is destined to be the strongest man.
Rushing straight up? Joke, he was just a soldier. Where did you hear that a soldier could hit a tank and hit hundreds of people alone? Besides, Wolf just felt like his vague intuition, and felt that Rennes might be nearby. He was not a radar, so he could clearly see where Rennes was...
In short, the cautious Wolf gave up this battle. The reason why he promised to win was that he never easily participated in the kind of battle that could not be judged. Compared to the railway bridge, Wolf was more optimistic about Stalingrad, which was his ideal place to fight.
...
When the first ray of dawn appeared in the sky, Borol and Donner felt that their bodies were about to collapse. They did not close their eyes all night. The bodies of more than a thousand Soviet soldiers and the remains of more than two hundred German paratroopers were on the position.
They fought fiercely for a whole night, repeatedly fighting for the inconspicuous trenches on the position, and the flares almost shone on the land without stopping for a moment. The troops of Boror near the bridgehead of this bridge were even seen with the Soviet bayonets that rushed up, and a company commander and three platoon commanders were killed for a trench in Boror's camp.
The third German army's third barracks rushed to nearby for reinforcements, and then they barely stabilized their positions. In order to allow the German army to continue to attack along this railway, the German army was very frugal and fought for every second. In a day and a night, almost 270 people were killed here, which was almost half of the third barracks.
As battalion commander Borol lit the cigarette held on his finger, squinted his eyes and felt the warmth brought by the sun. No matter what, he still held his position. This is the glorious tradition of German paratroopers and the persistence of a first-generation veteran of German paratroopers.
Sunshine is really important to the German army. With Sunshine, the German army's most powerful attack aircraft unit can be dispatched to weaken the enemy's offensive power in advance. The situation where tanks are connected one by one will not happen again, and their defense pressure will also be suddenly reduced.
With Sunshine, the German armored troops can be dispatched to support. With powerful anti-tank weapons, German paratroopers and grenadiers are definitely several times more terrifying than none. As long as German tanks can destroy enemy tanks in time, the infantry will dare to ensure that their positions are as stable as Mount Tai.
But the first thing that caught the Germans' eyes was in front of the position. On the Soviet position they were facing, the Soviet tanks that rushed out one after another. Three Stalin tanks, carrying at least 10 T-34 tanks, kicked off the first battle in the morning in a fierce manner.
An atmosphere of despair was over the heads of the German paratroopers in an instant. They felt that these Soviet tanks had now turned into huge monsters, which were terrifying and suffocating. They were exhausted and completely lost the ability to fight life and death with these Soviet tanks that had just been put into battle.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally the Soviet tanks had approached a very close distance. The German paratroopers held their breath and watched the monsters gradually approaching with their weapons.
"Where is our tank?" A young German paratrooper lay on the trench, holding his own G43 rifle and sighed helplessly in a sad tone. His voice was not loud, but it made the people around him even more frustrated.
"Boom!" On the bridge, a German tiger tank suddenly opened fire, breaking the anxious tranquility on the position. The shells roared and cut the air, crashed into its target with its unparalleled speed, leaving a charred hole on the front armor plate of a Stalin tank that had just been arrogant and arrogant.
The huge kinetic energy made the Stalin tank hit tremble. The tungsten alloy armor-piercing bomb of the German tank was absolutely terrifying in terms of armor-piercing capabilities. This shell easily penetrated the front armor plate of the Stalin tank and ruthlessly killed the fragile crew inside.
Before the Soviet attacking tank troops discovered what had happened, several shells arrived one by one, destroying the Soviet tanks closest to the German position one by one. The Soviet tanks that were still advancing a few minutes ago were exploding everywhere on the battlefield. The black smoke from rising covered the sky and looked a little scary.
"It's our tank! Great! Our tank has arrived!" On the position, a young German soldier screamed loudly. The despair and helplessness just now suddenly turned into a grand carnival of killing enemies. How could it not make people feel extremely happy? At least the German position boiled, and everyone exclaimed the inner cheers.
"It's up! We're really saved this time!" Boro threw the mp-44 assault rifle picked up from the corpse in his hand at his feet. He sat in the trench as if paralyzed, gasping heavily, looking at the one-armed Connor beside him smirked.
On the radio station, Renn's voice came over. Although it was a bit of interference, it sounded as pleasant as music: "I am Captain Renn of the 502 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion. I led my troops to strengthen the defense line here, repeat... I led my troops to strengthen the defense line here."
"Welcome! If you don't come, you will collect our bodies." Borol grabbed the microphone in the hand of the motorist and said to Renn.
"Counting the bodies is the thing done by the troops behind me. I just need to deal with what I see!" Renne's voice came from his headphones, making Borol laugh loudly. With Borol's laughter, several Soviet tanks exploded and turned into a ball of beating flames.
The entire battlefield was a unilateral massacre because of the addition of three Tiger tanks. The Soviet Stalin tanks were exposed too early and were almost killed by German tanks at the first time. The remaining T-34 and KV-1 tanks were not opponents of Tiger tanks at all. They could only rely on their number to desperately shorten the distance between the two sides so that they could have the ability to fire artillery and threaten the German tanks when they were destroyed.
The German tanks calmly drove off the railway bridge and chose their own shooting positions on the German positions. They kept firing. With the amazing hit accuracy of the ace team, they destroyed the approaching Soviet tanks one by one at a relatively safe distance, just like playing a shooting game.
"Hey? Hey? I am Vanokov...Comrade Commander. Bad news! Our offense failed! The German tanks appeared on the battlefield... Yes! It is unlikely to regain the bridge and rely on ground attack... I can try again..." On the Soviet position, the telescope was put down. After the commander on the front line found that his attack had been repelled, he began to contact the General Command as planned.
Rokosovsky finally sighed helplessly, and decided to give up the troops that could not be separated from the front line and blow up the important railway bridge: "Okay, try again. If it doesn't work, order the plan to blow up the bridge."
"Try again?...Yes! Comrade Commander!" On the other side, the commander who asked Vanokov put down the phone and issued another offensive order that was doomed to fail. The Soviet troops continued to attack forward, while the Germans took advantage of the Soviet Union's retreat just now to regain many defensive positions, and the competition between the two sides kicked off again.
