Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn and depressing. Moving forward might mean death, and no one wanted to talk more.

    After about five minutes of progress, Corporal Ziegler stopped and reported to Hewitt, "There is a situation ahead!"

    Hewitt leaned out of the car and looked forward with an infrared telescope: there was a wreckage of a destroyed German tank lying across the road bridge in front, blocking the passage of a Russian siege convoy.  It seems impossible to move or knock apart dozens of tons of scrap metal.  The Russian commander gathered three anti-tanks and two "SS6" tanks at the bridgehead to fire a salvo.  Because of the cover of darkness, the Russians did not notice the approaching German troops.

    The German army only had one tank, and the enemy's strength was several times that of his. Moreover, there was no way around this group of enemies. He had to fight his way through Sitting back in the car, Hewitt  After sorting out his thoughts, he knew that everyone must be clear about their combat vision.

    Hewitt spoke: "Everyone, pay attention, there may be a forward force of the Russians attacking the city in front There is no choice, we must destroy them!"

    The carriage was still quiet, but Hewitt could see no flinch or fear in the soldiers' eyes, only perseverance and unyieldingness. **ski's words may represent the voices of the crew members: "Sir, please give the order. Why?"  beat?"

    "I ask that the first one use grenades to kill those anti-tank gunners; the second and third ones use armor-piercing shells, target: two 'ss6' tanks. The action must be fast! Accurate! Cruel!  .Then, we rush over with lightning speed and knock over or crush those anti-tank guns Is there any problem? "

    The position of "SS-Sturmbannf¨¹hrer 1st Class" was not obtained by bragging. Hewitt's professional explanation won the respect of the soldiers. The crew members answered neatly: "No problem, sir!"

    ?We are all veterans.  Know that the price of a mistake is the destruction of your car and death.

    While speaking, there was a loud "boom", and the wreckage of the German tank on the bridge had been blown to pieces and turned into ashes.  "Oh~~~Ula!" the Russians cheered that the road was cleared.

    "Ready to fight!"

    The German gunner calmly adjusted the elevation and distance of the muzzle until the Russian figure behind the three anti-tank guns placed side by side was accurately locked in the sight, and then fired the first shot.

    Maybe it was because the distance was too close, "Bang -" the muzzle flashed, and the grenade exploded in the enemy group, blowing up all of them!

    "Armor-piercing bullets! Rapid fire!" Staff Sergeant **ski was ordering.

    The steaming shell casing fell out with a bang and smoke.  The German shooters were reloading quickly

    The muzzle fire exposed the position of the German army. The next step was to see who could move faster. Whoever fired first would have a chance of survival. Both Russian "SS6"s were rotating their turrets.

    The tank shook again, and the Germans took the opportunity to shoot a second armor-piercing projectile, and the turret of an "SS6" was overturned.

    "Charge! Rush over!" Before **ski could finish his words, the car moved back.  Then he roared and charged forward. This crew has been working together for a long time and the cooperation is very tacit.

    There was a flash of fire in front, and the shell fired by the "SS6" tank happened to fall behind the German army.  The German loaders and gunners had already completed the next launch procedure, parking and firing in one go. The remaining "SS6" was bombarded into a pile of scrap metal without any life!

    "Move on!" Hewitt knew it was not the time to celebrate yet.

    The tank must have reached its highest speed and rushed towards the anti-tank gun position ahead at high speed.  The Russian soldiers, who were frightened by the sudden blow and were scurrying around, had just returned to their artillery positions and had to flee in all directions again. Those who were slow or unresponsive died tragically under the tracks of the German army.

    With a "Peng-" sound, the hard body of the "Leopard 7" knocked over two anti-tank guns, and the other damaged anti-tank gun was ruthlessly crushed!  But there was a long barrel of an anti-tank gun turned sideways, delaying the advance of the "Leopard 7".

    "Anti-tank rocket launcher!!" The sharp-eyed driver, Corporal Ziegler, screamed in horror and began to reverse in a hurry.  Apparently Russian infantrymen came up carrying anti-tank rocket launchers.

    "Machine gun! Machine gun fire!"

    "Ta-ta-da. Ta-ta-ta"

    Because the Russian infantry was in the blind spot of machine gun fire, strafing was useless.  Hewitt said to Staff Sergeant **ski: "You, get out! Kill the Russian infantry with machine guns!"

    "But" **ski hesitated.

    "Execute the order! If you don't kill the enemy's demolition team, the car will be destroyed and people will be killed!"

    **Ski no longer hesitated and pushed away with a "scoff"The turret leaned out of the car with a light machine gun, and heard a burst of "click, click, click". The enemy was not dead, but Sergeant **ski died first!

    Hewitt saw four or five enemies carrying anti-tank rocket launchers from the lookout hole.

    "Fire up the light machine gun again! We must kill the enemy's demolition team!!"

    The electromechanical officer tried to get up with another MG machine gun, but the corpse of the commander who had just died blocked the turret. The machine gun he was holding must have been stuck outside the turret sideways.  The body couldn't be dragged in.

    "Push the body out!" Hewitt ordered.

    The electromechanical crew pushed the body of the deceased commander out of the vehicle. After clearing the turret, Hewitt personally leaned out of the vehicle holding the machine gun.

    "Da da da, da da da" there was another burst of gunfire, and all the Russians around the tank had been knocked down by machine guns.

    Hewitt heard the sound and saw that it was Sergeant Heskey who was in the repair car behind him.  Hewitt gave Heskey a thumbs up.

    "Ta-ta-ta. Ta-ta-ta" A hail of bullets swept over, making the tank's armor rattle.  Hewitt raised his machine gun and fired a long burst at the place where the fire snake was spraying. The enemy's shooting stopped.

    After the tank retreated a certain distance, it then rushed forward. The remains of the anti-tank gun that was blocking the movement of the tank were finally knocked away and tipped over into the river.

    With no knowledge of reality in the darkness and lack of heavy weapons, the Russians did not dare to get closer.

    "keep going!"

    Taking advantage of the darkness, the German troops avoided the enemy and headed straight for settlement A where the Black Jazz Platoon lived.

    "We're here!" Corporal Ziegler once visited this small settlement.  "That dark thing in frontis that a low earthen wall in a residential area?"

    "How pitiful! The war destroyed everything!" the electromechanical man sighed with emotion.

    "Rush over!" Everyone was excited to arrive successfully!

    Ziegler put the gear into full gear and increased the horsepower. The tank soared past like a wild horse that escaped from the frontier. Heskey's repair truck galloped behind the German army at high speed. Hewitt felt that the German army was like the cowboys in the American western movies.  Just as wild.

    "Oh my God! That's not a low earth wall? It's a Russian armored vehicle hidden behind the sand!"

    It was too late to brake, and "Peng-" the two cars collided. Hewitt was shocked to the point of death, and all his organs and lungs moved out of place, while the unlucky Russian armored vehicle was knocked over like an empty cardboard box.  After a few rolls, it was overturned and no one came out.  Moving forward, the German army finally saw the low earth wall that Corporal Ziegler remembered, but the wall had been destroyed by artillery fire and only a few traces were left!

    "Ta da da, da da da" Another Russian opened fire on the Germans, but it was just a few submachine guns. The German tank machine guns knocked down all these desperate Russians.

    The German troops stormed into the small settlement.  "Sir. I see our tanks!" Sergeant Heskey reported to Hewitt.  Following his finger, through the faint firelight in the distance, he could vaguely see the damaged tank parked in the rubble.

    "Sergeant Heskey, can you go see if those tanks can still be repaired? We must return before dark. The Russian planes will blow us to pieces at dawn."

    Sergeant Heskey climbed onto the body of the nearest King Tiger and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey~~~~Where are the people?"

    It was then that Hewitt noticed the deathly silence of the entire settlement. Occasionally, one or two stray bullets flew by, but there was no one there.

    ¡°Sir, these tanks seem to have been abandoned!¡±

    The sound of the gun being pulled sounded from the surrounding rubble.  "Hands up! You're surrounded!"

    Hearing the familiar German, Hewitt responded happily and loudly, "Don't shoot! Is it Captain Kelemer? I'm the battalion commander!"

    "Ah! It's the battalion commander! Brothers, come out quickly!" Kelemer, the leader of the first-level commando team, shouted in surprise, "I said, the battalion commander will not give up on us."

    The soldiers of Blackadder Platoon ran out from the lurking ruins and rubble, and everyone hugged each other happily.  The German troops finally converged on the small settlement.  Not in much of a mood to celebrate, Hewitt asked the crew to distribute food, ammunition, and gasoline to the Blackadder Platoon tanks.

    "We don't have much time! Sergeant Heskey, repair the tank immediately. We will return to the city in an hour!" The repair vehicle came in handy this time, but after a lot of hard work, Sergeant Heskey  Reported to Hewitt that at least two tank kings could not be repaired in a short time, and Hewitt had to reluctantly make the decision to blow them up during evacuation.

    When the "Blackadder" platoon leader saw Hewitt, the 25-year-old boy shed tears. The battle was too tragic.  Only then did Hewitt learn that the man who had been shot down on the bridgeThe yoke is his chariot.  "Blackadder" platoon leader's real name is Carl.  Rank 2 Commando Squadron Leader.  Only twelve soldiers of the "Blackadder" platoon survived, and half of them, including Deputy Platoon Commander Carmen 1st Commando Squadron Leader, were wounded.

    Suddenly five red flares soared into the sky, and a group of Russian night-flying bombers roared towards the unyielding city of Robbinstel. Heavy artillery fired like a mountain falling apart, and the small town was suddenly submerged in fire and gunpowder smoke.  .  The speeding brigade of Russian armored tanks and assault infantry equipped with various weapons passed by the small settlement and rushed towards Robbinstel without looking back.  This should be the 43rd Army of Lieutenant General Loborodov of the Russian 3rd Army.

    ???Despite many rounds of artillery fire and demining.  However, due to the interference of the German sniper troops guarding the minefield, the Russians were never able to accurately determine the scope of the minefield, so the effect of the shelling was not ideal.  Soon the Germans could hear explosions one after another in the minefield.  I don¡¯t know whether the Russian engineers are clearing mines or the Russians are stepping on mines. However, for such a large-scale group charge, it may be technically and time-unrealistic to clear mines leisurely.  Lieutenant General Loborodov attacked with such force regardless of losses, it seemed that he was determined to win and wanted to take down Robbinstel in one night.

    Hewitt contacted the battalion commander in the city through the radio. Unfortunately, the deputy battalion commander, Captain Bartels, had just been killed by Russian artillery fire ten minutes ago.  Taking over the command was Captain Rouse, the Director of Training.  Hewitt knew that Captain Rouse was just a political official with no actual combat experience. Hewitt asked Rouse to tell the 1st Motorized Infantry Company that they would not give up an inch of ground and relied on solid fortifications to resolutely withstand the enemy's attack.  The German army will organize the troops outside the city to cooperate with the 1st company inside and outside, launch an attack from the enemy's back, and attack from the front and back, disrupting the enemy's offensive deployment.

    Since the appearance of tanks is relatively easy to identify, the German army has carried out necessary camouflage on tanks.  Hewitt explained the operations and precautions to the commanders.

    In view of the fact that the enemy is outnumbered and Hewitt is fighting at night.  The communication equipment of some tanks was damaged, so it was best to maintain formation during combat. If they were dispersed or lost contact, each vehicle only had to keep its direction and rush back to Robinstell to regroup.

    This small but very capable German convoy was ready to go. Hewitt checked the time. It was now 3:32 in the morning. There could be no further delay!  The German army must act immediately.  "

    Attack!  "Three "Destroyer 3" vehicles and Hewitt's "Leopard 7" drove out of residential area A and followed the assaulting Russians toward the minefield. Two irreparable "Destroyer 3" vehicles were destroyed at the same time.  Blow up.

    "Destroyer 3" is too slow!  Shortly after setting off, in the darkness and chaos, Hewitt quickly lost contact with the tanks of Captain Kelmer's First Commando Squadron, Captain Blackadder's Second Commando Squadron, and Captain Carmen's, and had to fight on their own.  But I believe that the goal of the German army should be the same: attack and advance!  Back to the city!

    In the darkness, the German army was getting closer and closer to the Russians, and the roar of the Russian V62 tank motor could be clearly heard.  Soon, rows of armored vehicles and tanks appeared in front of the German army, and the Russian infantry ran in the undulating wilderness

    There was even a Russian soldier who stupidly ran to Hewitt's tank, made a "V" sign, and shouted excitedly in Russian.

    The only thing stopping the Russians was the explosion of mines.  The distant city of Robinstell seemed to have no living creatures left under the bombardment of artillery fire and aircraft bombings.

    The German gunner zeroed in on a tank with messy slogans written on its body. He had whispered to Hewitt many times about the timing of firing.  Hewitt was silent, because Hewitt preferred to fire at the same time as the 1st Company opened fire after passing through the minefield.

    But after walking in the minefield for less than half an hour, someone finally couldn't help but fire the first shot. An armored vehicle full of Russian infantry was blown into pieces, and the bodies were thrown high.  Hewitt's gunners also eagerly fired armor-piercing shells.  The Stalin in front instantly burst into flames and was burned into a big fireball.

    Under the glare of the fire, the "Leopard 7" tank was undoubtedly exposed. Various bullets were fired at the German army, and the German army also fired machine guns in all directions.  The only thing that allowed the Germans to survive was the hard armor and excellent speed of the "Leopard 7".

    "Sail into the darkness! Don't fight!"

    The "Leopard 7" thrust straight into the darkness to stay away from the fire. The Russian infantry were so frightened by the desperate momentum of the Germans that they ran for the road and fled in all directions.

    At the moment when the agile "Leopard 7" almost hid in the darkness, an armor-piercing bullet hit the German tank from the side and rear.  The inside of the tank suddenly became dark due to a short circuit. The billowing smoke was unbearable and the temperature of the tank was rising.

    ??"Abandon the car! Abandon the car!" Hewitt decisively ordered Hewitt's crew.  In panic, Hewitt wanted to grab the light machine gun next to him, but he only grabbed a piece of cloth or something.  Command map?  He could no longer care about so much. The tank would explode at any time. Hewitt quickly climbed out of the car, jumped away from the tank, and rolled on the spot.

    With a loud "boom", Hewitt's lovely "Leopard 7" tank exploded due to ammunition in a moment.  It was blown into a mess of metal fragments. The only thing to be thankful for was that only the electromechanical crew of Hewitt's crew did not escape from the metal tomb.

    "What?" Only then did Hewitt notice that what he was holding was a Nazi flag, not a map at all!  It¡¯s really dumbfounding.

    Someone threw Hewitt to the ground from behind. He was helping Hewitt put out the flames on his clothes.  Hewitt turned around and saw that it was the damn gunner who had fired ahead of time without following orders.  Hewitt grinded his teeth with hatred and wished he could pull out his pistol and kill him on the spot.  But looking at his innocent expression, especially the Second Class Iron Cross hanging on his chest, Hewitt's anger was half extinguished. He put the party flag in his arms bitterly and asked him: "You.  What is your name?"

    "Corporal Steiner, sir, sir"

    "How did you get your medal?" Hewitt asked angrily.

    "My crew destroyed twelve enemy tanks"

    "Twelve?" Hewitt nodded, thinking to himself, your performance tonight was damn good. You almost destroyed a tank with one shell. No wonder Captain Routh arranged for you to be his own cannon.  long.

    "It's just that the way you fired rashly just now was like a fucking novice!"

    "There are too many enemies and they are too close. I'm worried that if they discover us first, we may not have a chance to fire"

    Corporal Ziegler came closer with a submachine gun he picked up somewhere, "Sir, what should we do?"

    I don¡¯t want to argue with the corporal about the timing of firing, it¡¯s meaningless.

    Hewitt looked around alertly, then pulled out the pistol on his waist, "Let's keep moving forward!"
