Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 24: Being attacked from both sides, the Soviet army was driven back by violent waves, and bad weather struck.

A dozen Soviet soldiers looked at the approaching German armored personnel carriers, holding cluster bombs and preparing to destroy the German armored personnel carriers.

"It's difficult for us to get close to each other. If this continues, we will only be forced to death by them."

Sergeant Cheselski looked at the pressing German troops with an ugly face and said.

Just rely on these hundred or ten people to get closer, and they will be sieved by intensive firepower before they get close.

Machine gun firepower is no joke.

One bullet hit a small hole in the front of the torso, and the impact from the back was enough to create a wound as big as a bowl.

Hitting the torso instantly broke bones and legs, so it had no effect on more than a dozen people.

"Get down! Pretend to be dead! Wait for the opportunity to destroy the armored vehicle, for the sake of the following brothers, for the motherland, and for the great love of Suwei!"

Sergeant Cheselski had already risked his life and chose to use it as a corpse to destroy the armored vehicle.

Pfft!

Sergeant Cheselski took out his bayonet and cut his palm.

Blood continued to gush out from his palms.

Then he waved his palm and smeared it on the soldier's body.

This way it looks like a dead body.

More than a dozen people lay on the ground in a mess, waiting for the German armored vehicles to slowly approach.

When the three corpses in front kept approaching against the armored vehicle, the whole person was already shaking with fear.

It wasn't until the track pressed against his body that he let out a scream.

But it was soon drowned out by the sound of firearms.

jump!
As the cluster bomb pulled the fuse, a huge explosion directly destroyed an armored personnel carrier.

The fragile chassis is simply invulnerable.

In an instant, the huge expansion force tore open the armor at the bottom, instantly covering everyone in the carriage.

The soldiers in the car directly caused half of the casualties.

"There's something weird about these corpses, shoot!"

With focused attention, it doesn’t matter whether you are a corpse or not.

They all were shot and killed. Yuri, a Soviet soldier who was hit by a submachine gun but whose vital parts were not injured, lay on the ground.

The second armored personnel carrier was attacked again as it passed.

The huge explosion once again killed half of the soldiers.

The momentum of the German counterattack came to a halt after two armored personnel carriers were blown up.

Now we have to rely on this armor to defend against the opponent's counterattack.

However, the opponent also lost hundreds of people under a fierce blow.

However, Lieutenant Valentine's men were all elite soldiers.

An ordinary three hundred Soviet troops would really not be enough.

That's it, and it was able to destroy the two armored personnel carriers in Edward's hands.

"Don't stop the mortars, blow me up hard."

Edward commanded the battle from the battlefield.

He had already gotten off when the armored personnel carrier arrived here.

He would definitely not stay in such a dangerous position.

Not that he must be afraid of death, but what will these brothers do after he dies?
The commander definitely can't take such risks.

There were scattered bullet casings everywhere on the position, as well as soldiers hurriedly carrying ammunition boxes and starting to distribute ammunition.

After arriving at Mason's position, Edward picked up the submachine gun and emptied the magazine in the distance, then leaned against the trench and sat on the empty ammunition box.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Mason asked from the corner of his eye while holding a general machine gun and firing. "If I don't come, can you withstand ten times the strength of the troops? These are all elite soldiers of the Soviet army."

Edward said while reloading the bullets in his hands.

At the same time, he picked up a bullet chain and started loading machine gun bullets.

Mason skillfully opened the barrel of the machine gun, tilted the gun to the right, and the barrel immediately slid out. Then a new barrel was inserted and then blocked to continue fighting.

Hiss!Hiss!
The Soviet sneak attack had no effect, because the rest of the German troops had already arrived.

A German battalion would surround an elite Soviet force.

The two sides struggled for several hours, enough for the German army to deploy troops to destroy the other side.

If the sneak attack succeeds and the place changes hands, the German army's busy work these days will be in vain.

But now not only did the sneak attack have no effect, but more than a hundred people were killed.

Although the rest are elite, the German defense line is still impregnable.

Without heavy firepower, it would be difficult to cause damage to the sturdy machine gun nest. You can only rely on manpower to push it past unless you don't want to live.

So it's meaningless now.

"Lieutenant, about a battalion of German troops are coming towards us. They still have a lot of armor. We don't have any anti-armor power. What should we do?"

A sergeant of the Soviet army hurried forward to report the bad news.

This is all bad news for the Soviet army.

So far, even the people in Edward's hands are difficult to deal with in a short time, let alone a battalion of German troops coming to support.

If this continues, none of the nearly 200 people will be left alive.

Before he finished speaking, the sound of shelling from the 75mm infantry cannon was heard.

Boom!

Two 75mm infantry cannons joined the battle. In this situation without any artillery fire, this was a thunderous posture.

It's like a group of people fighting with fire sticks, and suddenly two artillery pieces appear. This is already an overwhelming advantage.

"Back up!"

The helpless Lieutenant Valentine had no choice but to retreat, while leaving more than thirty people behind to break up the rear.

Needless to say, after the break, you will be waiting to die here.

Under a fierce attack, in the end, all the thirty or so Soviet troops who had left behind were wiped out without a single survivor.

"These guys are really good at digging holes and will immediately blow up all the sewers within a 500-meter radius!"

Edward immediately ordered the soldiers that after dealing with the Soviet sneak attack troops, all that was left was to face the Soviet army head-on.

The Soviet troops on the front were still attacking the defense line fiercely, and many people even rushed to a position less than 30 meters in front of the position.

This is also dangerous for the positional defense line.

You must know that there are a large number of barbed wire fences and landmines on the position, and it is conceivable that they can reach a position less than 30 meters.

The weather was not pretty either, with a continuous snowstorm from morning to afternoon.

At the end of the day, there was more than 30 centimeters of snow on the ground.

Due to the falling snow in the trench, the trench soon turned into mud and water.

After stepping on the cold muddy water, many soldiers had already soaked their clothes and socks after a day.

After Edward solved the situation at the rear, he came to the front to understand the situation.

The weather is so bad, it may continue to snow tonight.

When the snow is too deep, just walking is difficult, and fighting is even more difficult.

The cold wind blew by, and the soldiers' noses were frozen.

"Dig a built-in hole in the trench, and hide in it to avoid the wind and snow when the war is not going on. In addition, we collect oil lamps to keep the brothers warm."

After Edward's arrangements were made, everyone became busy.
