Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the time, Hewitt would never have imagined that this would be his last contact with this small team.  The DeBoer team evaporated from the battlefield, and there was no news about them again.  Disappearance was a common occurrence in the war, as was Captain Korfi and his tank who were never heard from again.

    After the war, the family members of DeBoer's team tried to find their relatives. When they checked the battle log of the 3rd Battalion of the 72nd Regiment of the 355th Division of the Russian 13th Army, which was fighting on the left side of the business district, they could not find the soldiers who were killed in Robbins on that day.  Any record of the battle with DeBoer's team on the left side of Er's business district.  A more reasonable explanation is that this poor DeBoer team died in a Russian air strike or was eliminated by a minefield set by the Germans themselves.

    The German position in the factory area was attacked by the enemy's superior force. The battle was very fierce. The captain and deputy commander of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Company were killed successively, and platoon-level officers became a rare species.  Captain Kamen, the SS officer who retreated there, now took over the command of the 2nd Company. He described the battle situation to Hewitt on the phone as follows: a section of the Russian 54th Tank Corps and a section of the 13th Infantry Corps.  The troops launched a forceful attack from the left side of the commercial district, across the minefield of Kaberplatz, and quickly broke through the defense line of the German factory area.  Another group of Russian troops riding assault boats and landing hovercrafts attempted to attack the side of the factory area's defense line from the Amister River, but were blocked by the German mines.

    Although there was no authorization from General Miller, considering that the Russians used tank troops in the factory area, Hewitt resolutely agreed with Captain Rouse to command the "Blackadder" second commando squadron command in the face of the consequences of a military court.  It is suggested that the "Destroyer 3" tank be used in the direction of the factory area. The psychological shock of the "Destroyer 3" tank to the Russians cannot simply be measured by the number of tanks.

    Not long after Hewitt dispatched the Black Jazz platoon, the latest news came that the Knight platoon commanded by Wittmann's second-level commando squadron leader had also joined the battle in the factory area.  Although Wittmann had a higher military rank than Carmen, Carmen's specialty was infantry command. Hewitt felt that Carmen would be the first and more professional counterpart to command. Therefore, even though Captain Carmen was seriously injured, Hewitt did not want to replace him.  The meaning of the acting commander of the 2nd company.

    As expected, the grenadiers of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Company used armored vehicles and assault guns to rely on the familiar and complex terrain to deal with the Russian tanks that rushed into the factory area.  The battle in the factory area became a new hot spot in the offensive and defensive battle of Robinstel, and more troops were involved. Lieutenant Carlius, the training staff officer of the 1st Armored Battalion of the Brotherhood, commanded a No. 4 tank platoon for reinforcements.  past.

    The situation is very critical. With his understanding of the command capabilities of Blackadder, Captain Wittmann's Second Commando, Captain Carmen's First Commando, Lieutenant Carlius and other subordinates, Hewitt firmly believes that the German army will be able to defend the factory area.  position.

    What Hewitt wants to know most now is the communication interruption. The situation of the 1st Grenadier Company still holding on to the right side of the business district. Their defense line has long been fragmented. Facing the assault of the powerful Russian 13th Infantry Army, the 1st Grenadier Company is still holding on to the right side of the business district.  Throwing grenades brings disaster but little luck.

    "Telephone Soldier! Telephone Soldier!" Hewitt shouted outside the bunker.

    A private carrying a rifle stumbled in. "Yes, sir!"

    "Please inspect the telephone line from the battalion headquarters to the 1st company immediately!"

    "Yes, sir!" The private took the order and hurried away with the same stumble.

    "Boom" a shell directly hit the top of the bunker, dust and rocks rained down, and the map on the command platform was buried.  If there is one more like this, Hewitt's command post will collapse!

    Hewett randomly straightened the crooked big cap, and was surprised to hear someone coughing. Even though the light in the bunker was dim and filled with smoke, Hewitt still saw that the strange silhouette was a woman!

    Hewitt swatted away the smoke in front of him with his hands. The red cross on his helmet showed that this graceful female soldier was a medic. Her eyes were as penetrating as a woman's, and her deep eyes shone with turmoil and confusion. If  Her face was as bright as the sun after the rain. The gray military uniform she was wearing was because the two buttons on it were untied, and the edges of her yellow bra were vaguely visible. The decent short military skirt was covered with dust and  The slight damage makes the white lotus root-like calves look more supple and plump. This is a splendid and pure woman.  Hewitt's breathing seemed to stop for a moment.

    "Sir, Hoffman has completed the organization and placement of the field hospital and was ordered to return." Adjutant Hoffman's figure appeared from behind her.  Feeling that Hewitt's eyes were still on the medical soldier, Hoffman introduced in time: "Sir, this is Miss Nora, the Russian-speaking translator at the field hospital."

    "Very well, welcome, Miss Nora!" Hewitt said with a smile: "I heard that you are good at Russian?"

    "It's not like I'm good at it, sir! I'm just able to?Just read Russian novels like "Anna Kalanina".  "Miss Nora put her feet together and pushed her towering breasts forward.

    Feeling that his heart was beating fast, and feeling guilty that someone had seen through him, Hewitt's face suddenly turned red.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª" The explosion of another artillery shell at close range made Hewitt come back from the wonderful feeling.  After being stunned for a moment, Hewitt pulled out the captured Russian military folder from the command platform buried in the dust, and handed it to Miss Nora without any courtesy: "Please study these as soon as possible.  information and translate it.¡±

    "Yes, sir!"

    The orderly brought a steaming breakfast, although it was just some burnt bread, coffee, potatoes and other foods, it smelled delicious!  An indescribable aroma made Hewitt hungry and had a huge appetite after not eating for a long time.

    "Miss Nora, please come and have breakfast with me. I know that you marched to Robinstel without stopping for the whole day, so you must not have had time to eat."

    "Yes, sir." Nora answered in the affirmative calmly.

    "Hoffman, please prepare a set of clean tableware."

    Hoffman and Rouse began to clean the dust on the command post. There was a beautiful lady here, and the command post was more efficient.

    The fierce Russian shelling outside the bunker continued. Amidst the rumbling sound of the artillery, Hewitt began to eat breakfast. Miss Nora's movements were very elegant. At first glance, she looked like a well-educated lady.

    Sergeant Heinze¡¯s figure passed by the bunker. It seemed that Hewitt¡¯s car had returned to the headquarters.

    Everyone was vying to talk to Nora.  Nora is very well behaved and always has a charming smile on her face.  She comes from a wealthy middle-class family in Munich. She graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages ??of the University of Mainz and taught Russian at the University of Leipzig. This time she came here as a volunteer.

    "Sir, the call to the commercial area position has been connected."

    The warm breakfast was interrupted by an emergency military situation.

    The Hewitt Army position in the commercial area on the right side of the strategic highway has been occupied by the Russian army. Captain Dickman's whereabouts are unknown. The Hauser platoon and Gutman platoon are fighting and retreating towards the residential area position.

    "What do you think?" Hewitt asked Captain Rouse.

    "I can't find any reason to abandon the business district position. Attack is the best defense. I suggest that the reserve team be immediately put in to carry out a counterattack and restore the lost position; or at least stabilize the defense line at the second mine of Caber Plaza.  area.¡±

    Hewitt looked at the map. Except for some positions on the right side of the commercial district that were still struggling to hold on, all the former positions in Robbinstell Square had been captured. Hewitt only had one engineer company and one supplementary platoon in his hands.  It seems that it is already a luxury to hope to support the reserve team in Robinster until dark.  "How much more support can the brotherly forces give Hewitt?"

    "The only support the reconnaissance battalion gave us was a Gutman platoon; their battalion headquarters radio station has been unable to contact us, and it is likely that they were defeated by the Russian army long ago; and the 1st Armored Battalion has also been disconnected from us.  In the meantime, one company of the 1st Battalion has been completely lost in the commercial area, and the other platoon, commanded by combat staff Lieutenant Carlius, is still fighting in the factory area. "We can't hope for more."

    It was then that Hewitt noticed that at some point, Miss Nora had left the dining table and started working very seriously. She was concentrating on reading softly and occasionally asking Adjutant Hoffman some military terms.

    "We must fight to the last man, the last gun. Any form of retreat is prohibited! The reserve team immediately reinforces the position in the commercial district!" Hewitt was determined. If he doesn't succeed here, he will succeed.

    Hewitt¡¯s order was tantamount to indirectly pronouncing everyone¡¯s death sentence. The headquarters fell silent, and the atmosphere was very solemn.  In fact, even if Hewitt ordered everyone to escape together, there might not be a way out.  For a period of time, except for the voices of the messengers who kept reporting the latest battle conditions on each battlefield, no one was willing to say more, until Miss Nora finished her work and walked towards Hewitt.

    "Sir, the Russian documents have been translated!" Miss Nora came over with the translation.  At this time, Hewitt urgently needed to know what his enemies were thinking to help him make decisions.  The officers in the command post also gathered around.

    According to Miss Nora¡¯s translation, these documents were combat instructions issued by the Russian 43rd Army Headquarters to the 355th Division of the 13th Infantry Army under the instructions of General Chernyakhovsky.

    These documents show that the Russian army will capture the Amistetel Bridge at all costs. This is also the main strategic plan of the Russian army to gather a tank division of the 54th Army and an infantry division of the 13th Army to attack Robinstel.?.

    The document also contains a reply from Lieutenant General Beloborodov, commander of the Russian 43rd Army, approving the combat plan reported by the Infantry Division Headquarters.  Based on the analysis of Russian maps, documents and other information, the Russian army formulated two sets of combat plans to seize the Emister Bridge: the first plan was to form two special forces, a paratrooper commando team, to airborne to seize the bridge;  The frogmen and boat troops raided from the waterway.  Capture the Amistelle Bridge with lightning speed.

    The second plan is for the tank division of the 54th Army to mobilize elite tank troops to form an armored assault group and forcibly seize the Amister Bridge along the strategic highway.

    After listening to Miss Nora¡¯s report and translation of the Russian combat plan, Hewitt thought silently, standing at the lookout hole of the bunker, observing the commercial district position ahead with a high-power military telescope.  The sound of gunfire was heard there. Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky, nothing could be seen in the ruins of the commercial district shrouded in thick smoke and dust.

    Hewitt slowly lowered the telescope.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "What to do next" Captain Rouse was a little uneasy. The enemy's plan was too thorough and vicious.

    The precipitation and accumulation of military knowledge in daily life helped Hewitt. After only thinking for a moment, Hewitt made a decision, "Order¡ª¡ª"

    "Everyone opened their eyes wide, because Hewitt's order very closely determined everyone's life and death, or how to live and die. No one wanted to die, even though the chance of survival was very slim.

    "First, notify all troops that can be notified. If they are still in contact with the enemy, they must hold their position and not retreat without authorization. Because once our troops leave the favorable terrain, they will be followed by the enemy.  The troops that are not in contact with the enemy should immediately abandon their positions and move towards the south bank of the Amister River."

    Hewitt finally stopped insisting on fighting to the death. Everyone in the command post was ready to pack their bags as if they had been pardoned. Only Adjutant Hoffman stood still.

    "Hoffman, order the engineer company guarding the bridge to blow up the bridge without hesitation once the Russians get close to it!"

    "Your Excellency, Battalion Commander, why do we have to retreat?" Hoffman asked incomprehensively.

    "Because I understand now that the Russians' goal is not to capture the city of Robbinstel, but to seize the Amistral Bridge! The tactics of defending every inch of land will not only distract our already thin troops, but also make them useless.  Meaningless.¡±

    "Second, all the troops in the commercial area position immediately launch a short counterattack against the enemy. They must hit hard, hit hard, and build up momentum, and then quickly retreat, break away from the enemy, and shrink their defense line towards the residential area."  Itte dictated the order.

    "Sir, what you meanis to implement it immediately" Captain Rouse obviously found it difficult to accept.

    "Yes, it is best for you to personally inform and supervise the execution of the order!"

    "Butthe sun is shining brightly now. Your Excellency, battalion commander, we have no air control at all? Doesn't this mean we are asking our troops to die?"

    Because he felt that everyone in the command post had the same doubts, Hewitt had to explain his operational thinking to ensure that the order was finally implemented.  "Everyone just heard the enemy's document translated by Nora. The main attack in front of us is the 13th Army of the Russian 43rd Army, a force that is very good at night fighting and street fighting. Don't forget, last night the Russian army was  Taking advantage of being good at night fighting, we captured half of Robinster's city. Even if we delay the operation until night, our troops will not have any advantage.

    "Besides, it's impossible for us to hold on until night! I just looked with a telescope. Although the sun is shining brightly and the visibility in the air is indeed good, the thick smoke and dust caused by bombing and artillery near the ground have made the Russian army's air  The effect of the assault has been greatly weakened. Coupled with the cover of urban buildings, we can completely take advantage of the complex topography of Robbinstel and the Russians believe that our tanks dare not attack without air superiority to take us by surprise.  By conducting a counter-charge against the enemy's siege troops and disrupting the enemy's offensive deployment, the purpose of disengaging the troops in the commercial area from the enemy and retreating to the residential area is achieved.

    And our Dik Division has been blocked by the Russian 13th Army and the 36th Infantry Corps. With the complete loss of air superiority, even the long-tested Dik Division is unlikely to break through the enemy's premeditated interception of superior forces.  And arriving at the Amistelle Bridge.  Therefore, the value of the Amister Bridge to us is to allow the 1st Fortress Regiment to evacuate to K?nigsberg through it if necessary. If there is no hope, I would rather blow it up.  "

    "Understood! Follow the order!" Captain Rouse accepted the order with relief: "I will personally direct the retreat of the troops in the commercial district!"

    "Of course, the enemy's air force?Threats are always present, and all departments are required to pay attention to concealed air defense and pay more attention to using terrain and buildings as cover to prevent enemy aircraft from accurately dive bombing.  "Hewitt gave a few more instructions. For the safety of the dean of students, Hewitt sent his adjutant Hoffman to him.

    Captain Rouse and Adjutant Hoffman left with several guards.

    Hewitt decided to abandon the half-collapsed bunker and go to the most important Emister Bridge to direct the battle.  Hewitt's chariot commander Heinze was getting ready and waiting in a nearby bunker. Hewitt turned to Miss Nora who was standing aside and said, "Please retreat to the river with me"  £®¡±

    Hewitt was quite satisfied to see his modified command vehicle made from the Soviet SS6. It had been sprayed with a new paint of German gray. However, due to the rush or lack of paint, the painted body became stained.  The white Russian slogans are still vaguely visible. Fortunately, the Russian markings have been filed away and replaced by the German black and white cross pattern.

    After receiving the notice of transfer issued by Hewitt, the personnel of the battalion headquarters quickly mobilized to form a group of approximately fifteen to twenty soldiers and support personnel, consisting of a tank, an armored vehicle and a three-ton  A small fleet of standard trucks, a heavy-duty tractor-trailer and three motorcycles.

    Hewitt was surprised to see Sergeant Heskey in the repair vehicle, and Hewitt was glad he was still alive.  However, he was in a very depressed mood. After questioning, he learned that two of his assistants had been killed in the battle in the factory area.

    Hewitt helped Miss Nora board the tank. There was not much to say. Hewitt simply conveyed that Hewitt's destination was the Amistelle Bridge, and then the convoy set off.  £®

    Hewitt¡¯s tank is at the forefront, and the armored vehicle is in charge of the rear!
