Chapter 836 837 Butcher

Napalm bombs must be one of the most hated weapons among many human weapons inventions. The burning weapon started with ancient tincture oil and other weapons and the most feared killing weapon among human weapons. After all, water and fire are ruthless. Since the era when humans were not wearing clothes, the painful memories of the burning of flames were deeply embedded in their minds and became one of the fixed cognitions.

Science makes combustion more thorough and lasting, attached to any object, constantly burning to increase the surrounding temperature, and finally achieving the purpose of igniting everything and burning everything. This is where napalm bombs make people desperate. It burns and is not easy to extinguish. It lasts so long that it can melt steel and crush bones.

It is precisely because of the power of this napalm bomb that it has become the most popular ground weapon for the Luftwaffe. Whenever they encounter a target that they feel is necessary to completely destroy, they put the planes in full bloom with these terrible weapons, then fly over the targets, throw these bombs off the plane, and watch the targets on the ground turn into a sea of ​​fire.

Every time such bomb is dropped, due to violent explosions and burning on the ground, a large amount of smoke will often form, covering the sky and the sun, and the remaining targets cannot be seen clearly. Therefore, the German army will generally use this weapon in the last bombing, and after completely destroying the target, it will stop air strikes.

This time, they threw hundreds of tons of napalm bombs into Smolensk and in this city that had been surrounded by the German army. A whole day passed, and there were still fires burning here, and the Soviet defenders in the city were still in chaos due to casualties and chaos, so far, they have not launched corresponding effective rescue.

The fire ignited the house, and the napalm bomb burned to the skin of the building and people, scorching everything next to it. People were roasted into coke, and the house was burned into ruins. Then with the dry and cold wind at the end of winter, the flames spread across the streets, igniting the house on the other side, becoming an uncontrollable behemoth.

This behemoth that was raging everywhere devoured anything it could ignite, burning down the sheets, cabinets, clothes and people inside the house. In short, it grew stronger while devouring it, and eventually became as huge as the entire Smolensk.

The houses were burning and collapsing, but the Soviet defenders could not come up with any effective disaster relief measures. Their troops were originally extremely limited, but now they lost more people due to large-scale air strikes, which made them very difficult to defend, let alone help local civilians rescue supplies and houses.

These tragic civilians can only rely on themselves, but in such a war, fire trucks and fire trucks have long been requisitioned by the army, and the fire was unable to be extinguished. In the end, people gave up their plans to extinguish these fires, and they let the fire spread and burned up the entire city.

"Only when throwing napalm bombs, the butcher bomber truly becomes a well-deserved butcher." This is a comment from General Dick, the commander-in-chief of the German strategic bomber unit. He felt that the combined use of napalm bombs and bombs can destroy the target to the greatest extent and disintegrate the enemy's will to resist.

This time he practiced his idea in Smolensk, dropping a large number of bombs and napalm bombs. These weapons destroyed the entire city into ruins, and it was a burning ruin. In fact, according to the German or Europeans' understanding of war, the guard forces inside the city should have long given up resisting surrender, after all, the cities they guard no longer exist.

But the reality is that the Soviet army surrounded by the German army, the defensive positions on all sides were compressed, the guarded cities were destroyed, and the Soviet army, which suffered a large number of casualties, did not surrender, but waited for the German army's attack in the ruins. They were determined to survive and die with the ruins behind them, and buy more time for their motherland.

Everyone has faith, and every nation has its own backbone. This momentum is not only possessed by a specific individual or nation, but something that every nation standing among the nations of the world must have. This spirit of rather than surrender cannot be understood with common sense. Sometimes, even though they know it is death, some people still follow their beliefs.

"When Comrade Zhukov left, he told us that if we keep it for a month, our motherland will have greater hope," a Soviet division commander stared at his subordinates and said: "For the sake of the Soviet Union and for all our compatriots, we should not be slaves to the country and not be surrenders."

"Defend Smolensk to the death" all the regiment commanders and battalion commanders answered loudly, shouting out their oaths, while raising their right hand high and clenching their fists.

"The enemy's tanks can crush our bodies, but we will never surrender." After the division commander finished speaking, he ordered to defend every inch of territory. He knew that the German attack was about to be launched, and no one would want to let an enemy city exist behind his defense line.

In the other direction of the position, the German experimental infantry battalion had already begun their attack. Two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns opened the way, allowing the Germans who cleared Soviet soldiers along the streets to have super fire cover. They carefully sorted out two collapsed buildings and established a forward base. After they used air defense vehicles to clear out another building, they arranged effective defenses and began to advance to the next block.

An ordinary infantry battalion followed behind took over some cleaned buildings. They felt fun about this slow but very efficient attack. After all, seeing the troops in front carefully performing the task of clearing buildings step by step, anyone would find it a bit fun and boring.

The battle began when it was time to begin. A Soviet soldier fired a counterattack, and then the German anti-aircraft guns opened violently. The 20-mm ammunition hit the walls of the building, causing a white smoke. The German soldiers hidden in the corner desperately suppressed the Soviet positions opposite with the automatic weapons in their hands.

"This is the 1st Company of the Special Experimental Force. The artillery fire extends 100 meters directly in front of my position. The fire is repeated. The artillery fire extends 100 meters directly in front of my position. Shoot." A German communications soldier squatting in the center of the team used a new walkie-talkie to contact the artillery fire of the battalion to support the artillery fire. He looked very calm because the program in front of him had been practiced countless times.

It was very punctual, just like during the drill, the German 105mm caliber howitzer quickly visited the Soviet defenders' positions not far ahead of the German army. The shells fired by the four howitzers accurately landed around the building, blowing the Soviet positions there into ruins.

When the first round of four shells fell, the Soviet position was already torn apart by the explosion shock wave. Then the second round of artillery attacks came. Soviet soldiers who originally wanted to fight to the death were wiped out under the attack of the shells. The German artillery fire came too fast, and it was almost impossible to transfer compared to the previous support. The ambush tactic, which was about to run away after the attack, became meaningless under the German army's careful exploration, and could only increase casualties.

The shelling had just ended, and the Soviet soldiers who were curled up in the corners and other places barely survived the purgatory test again. The self-propelled anti-aircraft cannon, which had replenished ammunition, fired violently again, sorting out some dead corners that the shells had not taken care of. The German army quickly entered these ruins under cover and used skillful cooperation to clean up the places where people could hide.

Soon the German army cleaned up the battlefield, and four Soviet Red Army were captured. According to them, 54 accomplices should have been shot dead. They attempted to attack the German troops and left quickly, but they did not expect that they were immediately suppressed by the powerful German firepower, and then they were caught in a round of artillery fire.

The German army then began to continue to clear the positions. They cleared nearby buildings, some burned buildings, captured more than 300 prisoners of the Soviet Red Army, and killed another 88 people. Only one soldier in the German army was killed and two soldiers were injured.

"It is indeed a very safe means of attack to clear the enemy's positions one by one. With our different infantry, we can also use our strong firepower advantages in street fighting." Marshal Lundstedt stood on a cleared position, watching his troops from the artillery mirror advance from the distance, and said, "But... the consumption of ammunition is also increasing in geometric shapes."

"There is no best in the world in this world." Several German officers responsible for inspecting the battle in this battalion stood behind Lundstedt and echoed: "In fact, we have used a small group of special forces to cooperate with the sniper team, and the effect will be transmitted back soon. In addition, the troops' frontal advancement, I believe that it will not take long before the Soviets will figure it out that it is not cost-effective to fight street battles with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of dense shellings fell into a not-so-significant place. He actually used heavy artillery with a caliber of 150 mm. It was obvious that a certain infiltration team found the opponent's big fish and directly called for army-level artillery support.

More than a dozen 150mm caliber shells landed in the distant area, and in an instant, the mountain shook. After everything returned to calm, the smoke rising was as high as several floors of buildings. The artillery was very accurate, so accurate that it directly blown the area into a huge deep pit connected together.
