Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 28: A fierce battle between trapped beasts outside the tractor factory

A bunch of bullets flew past his scalp, and even Edward's confidant, Mason, broke into a sweat.

After all, this is a jump back and forth from the gate of hell. If you are not careful, you will stay here forever.

"Grenade"

After taking two deep breaths, Mason shouted.

The soldier behind him immediately unscrewed the M24 grenade and threw it out.

jump!
After a violent explosion, the dust was flying in the air. Mason took the lead in charging and fired a burst of fire with a submachine gun.

The two veterans behind him also led the recruits to attack the Soviet defense line.

Da da da!Da da da!
Entering the factory, an M1910/30 Maxim heavy machine gun in a hidden bunker diagonally across the factory area fired in this direction.

"Careful, sir"

The veteran pounced and pressed Mason down, and then the two quickly crawled to find cover.

Life or death is a matter of a split second, and those who follow are not so lucky.

One of the veterans was hit in the vital part and died on the spot.

The new recruits who followed him shrank back and did not dare to move.

"Suppression fire, smoke grenades dropped"

Mason raised his head and glanced at the bunker where the shooting was taking place and immediately shouted.

A soldier carrying a smoke bomb did not dare to delay, immediately pulled the ring and threw it out with all his strength.

Soon thick white smoke began to flow.

After the white smoke filled area, the veterans following Mason immediately crawled towards the bunker.

At the same time, Mason gestured for the recruits to fire and provide covering fire.

Bang bang bang!Bang bang bang!
Multiple recruits armed with Mauser 98K rifles fired at the bunker.

Although they have little combat experience, they are all recruits who have received strict training.

They are not just a bunch of people, and there is basically nothing wrong with them other than lack of experience.

They were completely different from the new recruits of the Soviet army. Except for the German army's large-scale shortage of soldiers in the later stages.

The early recruits were strictly trained.

The Soviet army transferred some troops from the Far East of Siberia to fill the gap on the western front.

It was also because of these veteran troops from the Far East that they were able to compete with the German army.

Otherwise, the troops can be pulled up, but if they are not trained enough, they will be cannon fodder if they are pulled up, and there is no way to stop them.

After the new recruits drew their attention, the German veterans crawled forward quickly relying on the cover of smoke.

A wooden handle grenade has appeared in the hand. Unscrew the back cover and take it in your hand.

After being less than 30 meters away from the bunker's machine gun nest, he stood up and held a wooden handle grenade.

Pull the tab open while running, let's go!
The grenade rolled straight into the Soviet bunker.

The German veteran didn't even take a second look at the grenade but immediately ran away to find a bunker.

The difference between being a veteran and a new recruit is that I wouldn't look twice for a grenade.

That one look, for just one second, could very well have killed me.

It doesn't matter whether it is destroyed or not, because I will have the opportunity to continue to live as long as I am alive.

And if it dies, there will be nothing left. Even if it is destroyed, it will not be worth the gain.

After a grenade exploded, dust flew into the air and the surrounding snowflakes were also blown away.

After hearing the sound disappear, the German veteran did not hesitate to leave the bunker in front of him and went straight to the back of the bunker.

An M39 egg grenade was thrown in.There was another explosion, and it could be said that the people in the bunker had no chance of survival.

The worried veteran even got in and took a look. Three immobile corpses were lying inside.

After the machine gun was dealt with, Mason greeted the soldiers and continued to advance.

Later, Edward also came with people.

"Mason, how's it going?"

Edward asked with concern.

"There are all kinds of ambushes here. It's really like a trap every step of the way. Sometimes you don't even know where a sneak attack will come from. These grandsons have mastered the terrain here. We just entered the periphery and that's it. Inside the core It’s easy to imagine”

Mason had already killed and injured many people along the way, and he almost ended up here twice.

"We have brought you thirty new soldiers and a half-track vehicle. Let's see how we arrange them. The entire army has begun a general offensive. Because our breakthrough has also brought a great morale boost to the rest of the troops, so We have to win here no matter what. After cutting off the last foothold of the Soviet army, we can complete the strategic victory. Without the bridgehead, the Soviet army would be dreaming about entering Stalingrad. The reason why they can carry it until now is It’s because these places provide them with the benefits of a bridgehead.”

Edward explained earnestly and patted Mason's shoulder heavily.

"Don't worry, boss, as long as I live, I will never stop fighting."

Mason patted his chest and said.

Looking at Mason's shabby military uniforms, Edward felt sad. These are his good brothers who have followed him for hundreds of days and nights.

Sometimes the meaning of a day on the battlefield is much more meaningful than a month spent by ordinary people in confusion.

It's like a good brother beside Mason, always following him, that belongs to Mason's confidant brother.

He has also saved him many times. If such a brother dies in battle, his heart will basically bleed.

It’s not that I have to take advantage of them, but it’s really like being pricked with needles.

When Edward gave orders several times in the past few days, Bucky was the first thing he thought of.

He casually said, "Bucky, I leave this matter to you!"

But that naive young man with big ears and a silly smile is gone.

At first, I was sad and angry, but as time began to ferment, the brotherhood became even more heartbreaking.

Especially when Edward gave a combat order, he subconsciously called Bucky.

"If possible, I hope you live well!"

Edward looked at Mason in front of him, arranging his military uniform worn out during the battle and said sadly.

Mason could also see that Edward really cared about these old guys.

Especially after Bucky died, the brothers could feel it.

It was nothing special before, until after Bucky died, Edward had to come to the headquarters almost every day to make sure everything was fine before returning to the headquarters.

"Don't worry, boss. I'm determined. If you want to take me in, call Sta Beard."

Mason smiled and then looked at the assembled team.

"Boys! Follow me!"

With a greeting, everyone continued to advance.

"Mason! Wait a minute, I'll give you a thunder cannon, a mini version."

Edward called out to Mason as he was about to leave.

"If this thing is set up in the cabin, if there is anything that can't be chewed, give it two shots. Remember, it can't be used if it can't be used with up to five shots. Giles remembers, five shots. If Mason insists on using it, immediately remove him. You have the final say on all duties. My brother's life is entrusted to you. Take care of yourself and your commander. I am here to thank you."

Edward pulled Mason's confidant Giles and reminded him.

Giles immediately saluted to show that he understood.

　I have split the rank of captain, and I will revise it after the editor is on vacation. In addition, I have been exhausted from running back and forth these past few days, so the quality has dropped. I can feel it myself, so I got up early today and wrote the article carefully, focusing on quality and quantity. I have to mention it and wish everyone a happy holiday
