Reborn South Africa as a police officer

It has been emphasized many times in the previous article that when the German army faced the Allied forces on the Western Front and the Russian army, they were two completely different forces.

In the just-concluded Battle of Remagen, Kesselring and his twelve divisions were wiped out. The German army's will to resist was not strong. After the expeditionary force surrounded the German army, the German army surrendered after only two days of resistance. Its will to fight is even worse than that of the Hungarian servants.

At the same time, the Southern Army Group, which had been surrounded by the Russian army for more than a month in Vienna, was still resisting. The two Russian front armies were firmly pinned in Vienna, which created extreme difficulties for the Southern Allied forces who invaded Hungary from Italy. Great convenience.

Although the Allied forces on the southern front invaded Hungary later than the Russian army, the area they already controlled was far larger than Russia, basically meeting the requirements of Rock and Winston.

Rock and Winston can allow the Russian army to control Hungary, but never allow Russia to control the entire territory of Hungary, so that Italy will face the impact of the Russian model, and Hungary must become a buffer zone between the two camps.

The same goes for Germany.

The reason why Patton agreed to Montgomery and Eisenhower's request was also to make Germany the front line against Russia.

According to Big Beard's original plan, the Russian army's offensive will be launched on April 4, so that the participating troops will have nearly a month to prepare, and the time is relatively sufficient.

The actions of the Allied forces on the Western Front on the Danube sounded the alarm for Big Beard, who realized that the Allied forces on the Western Front also had an attempt to rob Berlin. This made Big Beard furious and ordered Zhukov to speed up his preparations on April 4. Bring forward the attack on Berlin to April 1th.

Zhukov was in a dilemma. 15 days was too hasty for the troops participating in the war. The troops who were too far away could not even reach the predetermined position on the day the attack was launched.

On April 4st, the main force of the 1nd Belarusian Front under Zhukov was located in the Danzig area, 2 kilometers away from the Oder River defense line.

Konev's troops were concentrated in the center and left flank of the 1st Ukrainian Front, located in Silesia, also far away from the Ness River.

Among all the troops participating in the attack on Berlin, 29 group armies are being mobilized, 15 of which are 385 kilometers away, and 3 are between 385 and 530 kilometers away. While mobilizing troops, they must also prepare various military supplies needed to attack Berlin. The attacking force also needs to conduct tactical exercises, all of which require a lot of time.

Beard previously asked Zhukov to take Berlin within 15 days.

In order to accomplish this task, Zhukov ordered all the troops participating in the war to draw out elite troops to form a commando, and conduct special drills on urban street fighting to reduce the loss of troops.

负责为攻击部队提供后勤工作的舟桥部队也在紧锣密鼓的筹备中，白俄罗斯第1方面军的工程兵部队为攻击部队准备了25座浮桥和40艘渡船；乌克兰第1方面军则是筹集了2440艘工兵木舟，并且准备了合计纵长750米的突击桥，及超过1000米长的木桥构件。

In order to complete the preparatory work, it should be said that the engineering troops have made great efforts, but Zhukov is still very dissatisfied.

Canoes and wooden bridges are okay for carrying light infantry, but heavy tanks of the Russian army cannot pass through.

Not to mention the heavy IS-2, even the T32 with a total combat weight of only 34 tons cannot pass.

Fortunately, there is the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

During the Yalta Conference, Roque promised Winston that southern Africa would stop military aid to Russia and reduce the Russian threat.

Zhouqiao technology does not belong to the category of military aid, and Russia can still import it. The Southern African Air Force sent Zhukov steel prefabricated parts for assembling the pontoon bridge, which finally solved the problem that heavy tanks could not pass through the pontoon bridge.

Only solve T34, IS-2 still can't pass.

No way, the carrying capacity of the southern African pontoon bridge is also limited.

However, this has satisfied Zhukov very much, for which Zhukov personally sent a telegram to Patton to express his gratitude.

Although the bearded man urged repeatedly, after all the participating troops arrived at the scheduled location, it was already April 4th.

On the day of arrival, he must not be able to fight immediately, and Iron Man can't stand it.

Zhukov personally sent a telegram to the bearded man to explain, hoping to postpone the offensive to the 16th.

The bearded man agreed to Zhukov's request.

At this time, the shelling of the German positions by the Russian army had continued for several days.

Because of some problems in the deployment of logistics materials, the intensity of the bombardment was actually not high, and the effect was not good enough.

Fortunately, with the help of the Air Force, the losses of the German army were not small. The German positions in front of the 1st Belarusian Front lost 70.00% of the artillery, and many tanks were destroyed. However, follow-up investigations by the Air Force showed that these destroyed German tanks were absolutely Most of them were baits set up by the German army. The real tanks were all hiding in solid bunkers, and suffered little loss.

Zhukov also ignored the threat of the German armored forces.

The bearded man has a very irritable temper. Zhukov has already postponed an attack time. If it is postponed again, then Zhukov will be ready to go to Siberia to log.

On April 4, the attack of the Russian army officially began.

In order to confuse the attention of the German army, Zhukov used more than 15 searchlights on the night of the 100th to create the illusion of building a floating bridge overnight to mobilize troops.

The attacking troops of the 1st Front completed the erection of the pontoon bridge in the dark. Considering the complex terrain on the other side of the Oder River, all the first batch of troops to cross the Oder River were infantry.

In order to achieve the attack effect, Zhukov concentrated his troops tactically, focused on breakthroughs, and tried to open a gap in the German defense line in the shortest possible time.

Under normal circumstances, the infantry division of the Russian army will attack with two infantry regiments on the front line, followed by the third regiment, attacking the enemy's position in a wedge shape.

朱可夫是以3到4个师组成第一梯队，1个或多个师位于第二梯队，这样1个集团军的战线仅为2.5到10公里，整个方面军也只有35到44公里，一般每公里平均有1.5到2.5个步兵师。

In the most densely defended area of ​​the German army, there was only one division every three kilometers on average.

Although the troops were at a disadvantage, the Germans' will to fight was not weak. Corporal Chakov, who crossed the Oder River with the first attacking troops, found many crosses on both sides of the road after landing, and the hanged man still had cards hanging on his chest. .

Chakov didn't speak German, so he couldn't understand what was written on the sign.

Fortunately, a German-speaking soldier was there to translate: "Deserters, cowards, shame on Germany—ha, will these guys run away too?"

The Russian soldiers around are happy, and there is nothing more gratifying than seeing the enemy lose the will to fight.

"I hope the Germans don't all flee. I want to avenge my brothers!" Vassin from St. Petersburg held Bobosha tightly on his chest. All three of his younger brothers were killed in the siege of St. Petersburg.

The Russian soldiers who were a little out of control immediately calmed down.

Everyone present has a blood feud with the Germans. In Russia in the past few years, it is not an exaggeration to say that every household wears filial piety.

If there is no funeral for a family, all family members must be dead.

"Advance in line, pay attention to keep the distance, the first company, start--" the officer's whistle sounded continuously, Chakov's unit is light infantry, and there is no tank to accompany the battle.

The environment here is also not suitable for tank attack.

The continuous days of bombing have destroyed all the surrounding roads, and there are huge craters one after another. It rained a few days ago, and there is still water at the bottom of the crater, and there are no usable bunkers around. The buildings are either Torn down by the Germans themselves, or blown up by the Russians.

Chakov accidentally fell into a crater. Vasin stood on the edge of the crater and stretched out his hand to pull Chakov up. At this moment, the German army suddenly opened fire.

"Lie down—" The officer's order was a bit late, and Chakov's company suffered heavy casualties, and only a dozen or so people were left to continue fighting.

Mustache's tearing machine!
Sure enough.

Other well-known machine guns, such as the general-purpose machine guns in southern Africa, have a rate of fire of only about 600 rounds per minute. The machine gun shooter has to stop and shoot, and use as many bursts as possible to ensure the continuity of firepower.

The rate of fire of the MG42 can reach 1500 rounds per minute, and the sound of the gun sounds as dense as tearing the cloth, hence the name.

MG42 is a great weapon against light infantry. Russian soldiers are not afraid of Panzer V or Stuka, but the cloth tearing machine is frightening.

Vassin jumped into the crater as soon as the gunshot sounded, raised his gun and aimed in the direction of the gunshot.

The positions of the German machine guns were arranged very cleverly. From the positions of Vasin and Chakov, the firepower of the German machine guns could not be seen at all.

"Smoke pot, who has a smoke pot?" Vassin shouted. After all, the Russian army is not as rich as the southern African expeditionary force, and not everyone has smoke bombs.

"Attack, attack—" Another officer shouted not far away.

Vasin and Chakov were smart enough not to respond.

Without the cover of a tank, launching a charge against MG42 is tantamount to suicide.

Although Vasin and Chakov are not afraid of death, they hope that death is worthwhile.

For those who did not believe in evil, the reinforcements soon attacked, and the leading officer was extremely heroic. He held up his pistol and led the charge. He was shot after a few steps.

The army that lost the command of the officer immediately fell into chaos. Some people tried to continue to attack, some lay down on the spot to find a bunker, and some people were busy rescuing their comrades, but the German machine gunners would not give him time to rescue them calmly.

"Chakov, give me your rifle—" Vasin finally found the position of the German machine gunner, but he was already out of Bobosha's range.

Bobosa uses pistol bullets. Although the barrel is longer than the pistol, it has a bonus to the range, and the effective shooting distance is only about 200 meters.

Mosin Nagant has a shooting range of 1000 meters, and has high accuracy and stable performance. Although Bobosa has equipped a large number of troops, Mosin Nagant is still active. The sniper rifles used by the Russian army are modified from Mosin Nagant.

Chakov joined the army for a relatively short time, and his shooting skills were not as good as Vasin's. When he heard Vasin's words, he immediately handed the rifle to Vasin.

Vassin looked grim, and pulled the trigger after precise aiming.

It must have been a hit, because the MG42's gunfire disappeared immediately.

However, the disappearance time is very short, and it should be the deputy shooter who stepped up in time.

Vassin continued to shoot, and the MG42 on the opposite side not only did not stop this time, but also got bigger and more numerous.

That's right, Berlin is the home of the German army. There may be problems with the training of the German army here, but the attitude and equipment status are absolutely fine. The number of MG42 is too much.

Three consecutive attacks did not have any effect. The light infantry were suppressed so hard that they could not lift their heads, and the wounded could not be treated effectively, and their morale dropped rapidly.

"Pray to God, I hope our tank unit can be faster." Vasin returned Mosin Nagant to Chakov, and picked up his Bobosa again.

Although Bobosha can't shoot at MG42, it is not bad for light infantry at close range.

"What should we do?" Chakov was bewildered; his training hadn't covered that part.

Most of the current Russian soldiers have not received complete army training. Many of them can’t even practice guns before joining the army, and they don’t know how to pull the ring first when throwing a grenade.

Not to mention Griphook, many recruits wouldn't even know where Griphook was if no one told them.

"Stay on standby, waiting for the support of the tank troops." Vassin never thought of retreating, and the nature of it was similar to escaping.

It was not easy to erect a pontoon bridge that tanks could pass through. It took six hours of hard work for a battalion of engineers to send the first T34 across the Oder River.

Seeing the figure of T34, Chakov cheered loudly excitedly.

Vasin was not excited, and his expression was even a little dignified.

"What's wrong with you? Are you injured?" Chakov asked quickly, and he already regarded Vasin as his teacher.

Without a good teacher on the battlefield, you will die quickly.

"Do you have anything to eat?" Vassin stared blankly with hunger.

If this were replaced by the Southern African Expeditionary Force, even if they fought continuously for three days and three nights, there would be no problem, at least the food would be fine, chocolate, beef and so on would be carried with them.

The key is that the physical fitness is different.

In the words of southern Africa, Russian officers and soldiers have no food in their stomachs. The years-long war has completely destroyed Russia's agricultural system. Even if the battlefield has now advanced to Germany, Russia's farmland will not be harvested until next year at least. .

"Are potatoes okay?" Chakov took out a piece of potato from his backpack, which still had Chakov's body temperature on it.

"Thank you—" Vasin was rude, and stuffed the potato into his mouth.

Now that there are tanks, it will be a tragedy if the physical strength cannot keep up with the team when they attack later.

The T34 is really powerful. Although the total combat weight is only 32 tons, because of the use of inclined armor, the defense is greatly enhanced. The MG42 cannot be penetrated, and it can provide maximum protection for the accompanying infantry following the tank.

Chakov was also ready.

When a T34 passed by the crater where Chakov and Vasin were located, Chakov and Vasin jumped out of the crater almost at the same time, closely following the T34.
The German army is not a small Japan without anti-tank capabilities. Immediately, an 88mm anti-tank shell flew over and directly destroyed the T34 followed by Chakov and Vasin.

Unprepared, Chakov slammed his head into the T34's armor.
