Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2239 The big deal is martyrdom

When Moscow enters its darkest hour, Pretoria is as warm as spring in October.

Not only did the war not bring harm to southern Africa, but it stimulated a new round of economic prosperity. Orders from Europe flew to southern Africa like snowflakes. New factories opened every day. The railways and ports were busy all day long, and there was a queue outside Walvis Bay. The ocean-going cargo ships entering the port are as long as ten kilometers. As the transportation hub of the Southern African Railway, Pretoria has an average of one train entering the station every 3 minutes.

As the scale of the war became larger and larger, countless European immigrants poured into Southern Africa, bringing new vitality to Southern Africa.

The population of the city is increasing, and the scale is also growing. While the economy is booming, housing prices in Pretoria are also skyrocketing. Two years ago, houses in remote suburbs were still unoccupied. Now the price has directly increased by more than five times. , only rich people are eligible to buy houses and land in Pretoria.

Due to the war, the Olympic Games originally scheduled to be held in Tokyo in 1940 were cancelled.

Southern Africa has not been affected by the war. While the economy is getting more and more developed, people's demand for material and cultural aspects is also getting higher and higher. The Friendship Games 4 years ago was a great success. This year, the Friendship Games finally came to Pretoria For this reason, the Transvaal State Government and the Pretoria City Government began to publicize it two months ago, making it clear that they took advantage of this opportunity to surpass the influence of the Olympic Games in one fell swoop.

After returning to Pretoria, Rock fell into endless work again.

Russia needs more support, and the bearded man will send a telegram to Rock every day, two or three a day, the frequency depends on the intensity of the battle.

The Atlantic Theater's plan to counterattack the European continent has reached its fourth version. From the initial landing directly on the German mainland to the current Vichy France, Patton claimed that he had already become moldy in the London fog.

The Pacific theater is waiting for the Japanese army to attack. Although the Japanese navy has decided to target the US Pacific Fleet, no one is sure whether the Japanese will change their plan until the last moment. An Qi can only wait.

In addition to aid to Russia, southern Africa has stepped up its aid to the Far East. Assam, India, has built what may be the largest field airport in Asia. Transport opportunities in southern Africa will fly over the Himalayas to deliver aid to the The ancient oriental empire struggling to support.

This is a dangerous flight. The transport plane has to fly over the Himalayas. Limited by the terrain and the performance of the aircraft, it can only fly close to the peaks. Because the flight path fluctuates up and down like a hump, it is named "Hump Route".

In the first week of the "Hump" route, four transport planes were lost in southern Africa, and all crew members died.

After research by the command, it was found that the unprofessional ground crew and the near "full" load were the main reasons for the crash of the transport plane.

So the Pacific theater sent more ground crews to Assam, replaced all the airport staff with southern Africans, and strictly limited the loading capacity of the transport aircraft, and the loss of the transport aircraft was finally reduced to an acceptable level.

After the Greek campaign ended, the Mediterranean Sea returned to calm, and no fighting broke out in the past six months.

The war situation in North Africa is still anxious, and Rommel launched a new offensive in August, which was less than 200 kilometers away from Cairo.

Parcival led the Eighth Army to resist desperately. With the cooperation of the British Mediterranean Fleet and the Cyprus Squadron, they withstood Rommel's offensive.

Britain is bound to win North Africa. Even when the war was at its most dangerous, Parcival did not request the assistance of ground troops in southern Africa.

Arthur had no time to pay attention to the situation in North Africa. After the Battle of Odessa, the Axis Powers occupied Ukraine, and the Garibaldi Peninsula became an isolated island of the Allied Forces in Europe, always facing the threat of the Axis Powers.

"The Garibaldi Peninsula is still nominally under the direct jurisdiction of the League of Nations and is stationed by the League of Nations troops. Our troops stationed in the Dodecanese and Cyprus are ready to assist at any time. There is no problem in terms of security." Martin expressed optimism about the situation in the Garibaldi Peninsula. , Bulgarians are still very sensible.

During the Greek campaign, the Bulgarian army launched an attack on the Garibaldi peninsula, which stopped shortly after capturing two villages near the border.

Up to now, the League of Nations troops and the relegation Army are still maintaining a confrontation near the border. Neither side has launched a new attack. The Bulgarians do not want to expand the results of the war, and the League of Nations troops do not want to regain lost ground. This situation has lasted for more than half a year.

The latest news, Mustache is very dissatisfied with the performance of the Bulgarians. In order to cut off the aid to Russia from southern Africa, Mustache ordered the Bulgarians to launch a new attack on the Garibaldi Peninsula as soon as possible, at least to occupy part of the Black Sea estuary.

"Even if we lose the Garibaldi Peninsula, we can still provide aid to Russia through the Asia Minor Peninsula and the Persian Empire. The size of Russia is really too large, and the Germans cannot defeat Russia." Jan Smother didn't like the Russians, However, under the premise of defeating the Axis powers, Yang Smolts did not resist cooperation with Russia.

"Then let's do this, bring the Garibaldi Peninsula into the Mediterranean theater." Rock can no longer care about the League of Nations. If they lose the access to the Black Sea, the Allied Forces will face even greater trouble.

The outlet of the Black Sea is controlled by the Allied forces, and the cargo ships of the Allied forces can be directly transported to the hinterland of Russia through the Black Sea.

If it passes through the Asia Minor Peninsula and the Persian Empire, it must be transshipped by railway. Not to mention the long journey, Rock expressed doubts about the efficiency of the Ottomans and Persians.

After seeing off Yang Smother and Martin, there were still many people queuing at the door, and Rock was busy until one o'clock in the afternoon before he had time to eat lunch.

The content of the lunch is very simple. Rock's medical team began to restrict Rock's living habits a few years ago. Tobacco and alcohol are out of the question. Unhealthy food has also disappeared from Rock's menu. Now Rock The three meals a day are mainly light, which is healthier.

Ivanov and Sergey were fighting hard as Rock began to eat lunch.

After the initial setbacks, the Germans became cautious and moved forward steadily.

The Russian army refused to give up an inch, and the German army had to pay a huge price for every step forward.

The team led by Ivanov now has only Ivanov and Sergey left, and Ivanov was also injured. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and he can still fight after simple treatment.

Sergey advised Ivanov to retreat to the rear hospital for treatment.

Ivanov directly refused.

"It's not necessary, we're all going to die in this war, as long as we can defeat the Germans, then our deaths are worth it." Ivanov has had enough money now, he has now killed four Germans.

Sergey is a little ashamed. He hasn't killed any Germans, not even wounded.

Now Ivanov and Sergey are resting with a dozen or so surviving soldiers from different units with various numbers.

Even though the Germans suffered heavy losses, they continued to advance.

In contrast, the losses on the Russian side were even worse. At the height of the battle yesterday, a full-staffed infantry division was completely lost within an hour of joining the battle. No one survived, and surrender is probably useless.

When the war first broke out, the Germans were still very interested in prisoners. After all, as long as there were no wounded prisoners, they were excellent laborers.

With the appearance of hundreds of thousands of prisoners at every turn, the Germans also became numb, unwilling to waste energy on taking in prisoners. In many cases, even if they raised their hands to surrender, they would be shot to death by the German army.

Or be stabbed to death with a bayonet.

"The Germans are advancing with the help of tanks. Where are our tanks?" Sergey was very sad. Although he had many comrades around him, Sergey had no sense of security at all. He felt abandoned and alone.

"Even if there are no tanks, we will fight the Germans to the end!" Ivanov is full of fighting spirit, and tanks are not invincible.

In order to prevent the German tanks from attacking, Russia voluntarily blew up a building on the side of the road an hour ago. After the building collapsed, the street was completely blocked, and the tanks had to take a detour if they wanted to attack.

It's useless to detour, because the other streets are the same, and now most of Moscow is in ruins.

Just as Sergey was about to speak, the roar of the DP light machine gun broke the short interval of fighting.

DP is the famous "turntable machine gun". This machine gun appeared in 1928 with a caliber of 7.62 mm. It uses a magazine with a capacity of 47 rounds for ammunition and has a range of up to 3000 meters.

What Roque said was not all excuses. When designing weapons in southern Africa, they did not consider the use in cold regions too much. The performance of general-purpose machine guns in the Russian battlefield was not satisfactory. Now the engineers in southern Africa are working on Find ways to improve.

The turntable machine gun has a simple structure and stable performance, especially in low temperature environments. Its performance is very reliable and it is very popular among Russian soldiers.

The light machine gun is the best way to deal with light infantry, and the DP machine gun moves immediately after firing a magazine.

That's right, the German counterattack was very fast, the DP machine gun had just been shifted for less than 30 seconds, and the position where the machine gun position was located was covered by German fire.

"Ready to fight--"

The officer's roar sounded on the battlefield, and everyone was ready to fight.

The helmet of a German soldier appeared above the ruins ahead.

No one shoots at helmets, the Russian soldiers who survived to this day are all smart, and those who are not smart have died in battle.

The battle started from the ruins next to it. The Germans were not stupid and would not attack directly. Instead, they went around to the nearby house and used explosives to blow through the wall, advancing in this way.

The battle was extremely brutal.

Before the gunpowder smoke and dust in the room dissipated, two grenades were thrown in directly through the hole. At this time, if there were Russian soldiers in an ambush in the room, even if they were not killed by the grenade, they would lose their combat effectiveness in a short time.

Russian soldiers are not stupid either.

Just as the two German soldiers got out of the hole, an egg grenade produced in southern Africa was thrown from the next room. After a violent explosion, the two German soldiers were covered in blood and their bodies were blown into hornets' nests.

The egg grenade produced in southern Africa has 1500 steel balls in each grenade, and the effective killing radius is 15 meters.

In the narrow environment of the room, the rifle is too long to be useless, and the grenade is king.

So the explosion of the grenade continued one after another until one side was completely killed.

It can be clearly seen from the distance of the explosion that the German army is constantly advancing.

Finally a German soldier appeared at the window of the ruins.

Before Sergey could raise his gun, Ivanov shot the careless German soldier down.

"The fifth one!" Ivanov spat viciously, and continued to look for the next target. There were already four marks carved with a dagger on the handle of his gun, and each mark represented a German soldier.

Sergey looked at Ivanov enviously, and imitated Ivanov's appearance and picked up the gun so that he could shoot immediately.

It's a pity that Sergey hadn't found the target yet, and suddenly there was the whistling sound of shells passing through the air.

He was already used to shelling Sergey, and without Ivanov's reminder, Sergey curled up on the ground, holding his head tightly with his hands and pressing the helmet.

This cannot completely resist the damage caused by the shelling, but it can effectively reduce it. Not to mention the large-caliber shells, there will be no survivors within a radius of [-] meters after one shot. If it is a mortar, then you can take a gamble.

Hilge was lucky not to be hit directly by the mortar.

A few Russian soldiers next to them were unlucky. They were directly hit by mortar shells and died without a sound. Then there were sporadic blood rain in the sky, and broken stones and bricks fell down.

Brick crumbs clanged against Sergey's steel helmet, and blood dripped from the edge of the helmet to Sergey's face, and the world in front of Sergey's eyes turned blood red.

"Boy, are you injured?" Ivanov yelled.

"No, I'm fine—" Sergey responded, dust filling his mouth.

"Then quickly withdraw, we can't withstand the next wave of German attacks—" Ivanov stood up leaning on his gun, his wound was on his leg, and now blood was oozing again
Sergey picked up the gun from his waist, not forgetting to support Ivanov.

The German infantry coordination is very skilled, and Sergey and Ivanov must withdraw to the next line of defense in the shortest possible time.

It's not the line of defense either, it's more appropriate to describe it with the next ruins, which are everywhere in Moscow.

What saddened Sergey was that there were only six companions who retreated to the next position. Before the battle broke out, there were at least 18 people in the position where Ivanov and Sergey were.

When leaving the position, Sergei heard a companion calling for help.

Sergey didn’t stop. It’s unlucky to die in battle, and you can only resign yourself to fate if you get injured. Not to mention the Germans, even if the wounded soldiers return to the rear, it is difficult to have perfect treatment, and everyone is in short supply of medicines.

So there is no difference between howling and waiting to die at the front line, and howling and waiting to die in the rear hospital.

Sergey himself was prepared to die for his country, with an egg grenade hanging around his neck. If Sergey was injured and unable to retreat, Sergey would detonate it when the Germans rushed over. .
