Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 31 The probation camp recruits [-] veterans, and the final battle begins

After Bill's men broke through the opponent's defense, the entire Soviet company headquarters was also captured.

All that was left standing in front of Mason was a lone defensive facility.

"Sir, there is news from the front. The second platoon leader has successfully bypassed the rear and won the victory. He destroyed a Soviet company headquarters and is currently cleaning the battlefield. The third platoon leader is also approaching us."

The soldiers passed on the latest information.

"Brothers, have you heard this? The second and third rows have already made great achievements. Are we, the fourth row, cowards?"

Mason pulled the bolt of his gun and looked at the soldiers and shouted.

"Huh!"

All the soldiers shouted and then followed Mason's assault.

The Soviet defense line, which was already shaky, is now even more precarious.

"Sergeant, the Germans are about to invade, what should we do?"

A soldier shouted anxiously to the Soviet sergeant.

"Is the phone connected?"

"No, the phone has not been connected."

"Go check the phone line and ask the company commander to send someone for support."

The sergeant shouted worriedly that the still warm body beside him was that of their commander, the second lieutenant, who had been killed by a stray bullet.

Now he was the only sergeant left in charge of the battle.

But facing the powerful firepower attack of the German army, there was no resistance at all.

Even a half-track armored vehicle is helpless.

The powerful rate of fire and firepower of the twin MG34/42 machine guns installed above made it impossible for the entire bunker to effectively counterattack.

Seeing the German troops approaching, even if they wanted to form a demolition team, they couldn't do it.

There are less than 20 soldiers on his side who can fight, and throwing them all away is not enough for the German machine guns to shoot them.

For the current German offensive, at least all the bullets have been arranged. As long as the machine gunner can reload quickly, he can shoot infinitely, and the seven barrels can be replaced alternately.

Dense bullets came rapidly towards the Soviet army like raindrops.

To suppress the opponent, there is no way to look outside. The only way is to raise the firearm above the head and shoot outside.

This kind of unorganized shooting could not stop the German army at all.

Elsewhere, Edward took the remaining troops and began to clean up the remaining remains.

There were also many Soviet soldiers who surrendered. At the same time, Soviet soldiers who were afraid that they would surrender and their whole family would go to the farm to become untouchable slaves fought to the death.

When everyone merged into one place, the surrounding area had been cleared. More than 80 people were left behind along the way, and as many as a hundred people were injured.

The seemingly simple battle is actually full of dangers. This is just the outer corner of the tractor factory.

Once the gap is opened, it will be difficult to maintain a ring, and the remaining ones will be divided, surrounded and strangled by other German soldiers.

The German soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for so many days were already very angry.

Who wouldn't be happy if the Soviet army could be severely damaged in one go?

Just this round of heavy damage would mean the end of the battle.

Of course, it is impossible to truly end it, but you can still gain some time during the winter hiatus.

After everyone gathered, all that was left were a few factories in the core area.

However, it is more difficult to capture this area than the outside.

But now it's just the final step, who can give up.

The division headquarters sent over [-] soldiers from the probation camp.

These were all soldiers who had made mistakes, and some of them were deserters. Because of the intensity of the war, they were not directly shot in the early days but were incorporated into probation camps.

All two hundred officers and soldiers of the probation battalion were sent over.

Led by one of the sergeants.

"Lieutenant Lawrence, I have heard about you. If it were me, I would do what you did. My brother is more valuable than the sky! Not to mention threatening the military doctor with a gun, even if it is to scare the monkeys, OK"

Edward took the epaulette and put it on one of the young lieutenants and said.

Because one of his men was seriously injured, Lieutenant Lawrence hurried to the hospital and threatened the military doctor with a gun.

Soon the dozen soldiers following him, including himself, were all taken away by dog ​​tags.

Finally, he was sent to a probation camp and worked as a coolie.

Doing errands without dignity and honor, such as dangerous tasks such as mine clearing and laying mines.

"I don't care how you dealt with them before! But now you don't have this right here, you are the vanguard of the third platoon! Mason will arrange it for him."

Edward looked at the sergeant leading the team and immediately spoke.

The non-commissioned officers who manage probation camps are basically seasoned officers who are good at bullying others in a war.

Many people hate these people very much.

So since you are here today, your fate depends on whether your fate is tough or not.

Edward's arrangement made the other soldiers who had just come out of the probation camp look happy and look at Edward much softer.

This was regarded as giving a bad breath to the 200 soldiers. It was a good deal for Edward to sacrifice one person to gather [-] people.

And the sergeant who led the team did not directly send him to be a death squad, he was just a vanguard. Who said that the vanguard must die!
It's just a little more dangerous, but you can still survive if you're careful.

"Johnny! Sonny! Why are you two here!"

While observing the crowd, Bobby saw two brothers who met while escaping together shouting excitedly.

"What? Johnny and Sonny?" Edward also beamed with joy after hearing this. It was a happy time to meet an old friend in a foreign country.

"Boss Edward!"

Sonny and Johnny shouted excitedly.

I didn't expect these two guys to be mixed up at the back of the team.

"In this case, you two just follow me."

Edward immediately transferred Sonny and Johnny over.

"Now I appoint Lieutenant Laurent as the commander of the fifth platoon, sixth platoon and seventh platoon and deputy company commander. Remember that Lieutenant Laurenst has restored his identity now. He is still an officer of the German Wehrmacht. Anyone who disrespects him can get out again. I’m back at the probation camp. If you dare to disobey orders, you don’t need to call the military police. I will deal with them myself.”

Edward looked at all the soldiers and said.

The people added this time are all veterans, so it’s easy to just pull them in.

"I don't care what grievances or grievances you have suffered before, they are all over now. There is only one way left for us to go. Penetrate here and completely eliminate the Soviet army here. Otherwise, it will be our defeat. If we The consequences of defeat will be to go to Siberia to mine coal, dig potatoes, cut down trees at minus [-] degrees Celsius, and live like slaves. If you still have some blood, choose to die in battle rather than live like a dog! Anyone who retreats will be killed. Kill him, and if you find me retreating, you can shoot me!"

Edward walked back and forth and continued his lecture.

After the lecture, Edward immediately began to give orders for action.

This time a platoon of tanks was equipped, and a full four tanks were transferred.

How can it be possible without armored forces providing powerful firepower.

It's just whether these four tanks can last until the end of the battle.

The Type IV F2 tank is currently equipped with a 75mm 43x mirror gun, which has not yet reached the 48x scope.

The subsequent Panzer IV tanks began to be equipped with a 75mm L48 scope gun.

Although it only has a 43x scope, it is more than enough to deal with the T34-76 tank.

"Second Lieutenant Marth (Prussian noble surname) follows the infantry closely. I don't need you to protect the infantry from damage, but you have to provide artillery support when the infantry is attacked. Do you understand?"

Edward reminded as he looked at the tank lieutenant next to him.

Because the two parties are not very familiar with each other, they will not call each other by their first names, but will call each other by their last names to show respect. The other party will not call Edward, but Captain Schumacher.

Edward is the first name and Schumacher is the last name.

Eduard's full name is Eduard Schumacher.

"Yes, sir"

The opponent was not affiliated with Edward's company, but was temporarily incorporated into Edward's company to attack the tractor factory.

This was also the last moment, and everyone took a deep breath.

"Bill, you will lead the team as the main attacker this time."

Edward issued a combat order, but Mason raised his hand and looked at Edward.

"Captain, our fourth platoon has always been the main attacker. Is it because our fourth platoon didn't do a good job or something?"

After listening to Mason's words, Edward looked at Mason and sighed.

"Brother, I feel sorry for your fourth platoon. In this peripheral battle, your fourth platoon is the main attacker. The veteran loss rate has exceeded 60.00%. This time, Bill's second platoon will be the main attacker."

Edward spoke and continued.

"Captain Schumacher, can you allow your subordinates to participate in commanding the battle?"

As Lieutenant Lawrence who just joined, he also wanted to contribute.

"Now that the lieutenant has joined my company, we will be brothers of life and death in the trenches from now on. Just call me Edward. Then you and Bill will be the main attackers. In addition, the fifth platoon will be transferred to you at any time. I hope you two will do well." cooperate"

Edward patted the other person's shoulder and responded with a smile.

This also moved Lieutenant Lawrence deeply. After all, he was an officer who made mistakes.

Coming to such a top-notch company and being reused by Edward must be the greatest affirmation for Lieutenant Lawrence.

Bill's second platoon acted as the forward, followed by the tank armor platoon, accompanied by the fifth platoon led by Lieutenant Lawrence.

Among them, the left and right wings must ensure their safety, and it is impossible to rush through them directly in one line.

What if the opponent surrounds the immortal ball with a pincer?

"set off!"

Following Bill's order, everyone began to take action.

The sharp knife squad formed a fan-shaped formation and began to advance.

Everyone should be spaced about eight meters apart.

At the same time, the soldiers at the front served as the vanguard, and the two sides were stacked five meters apart from each other.

In this way, all sides can be monitored, and if there is a situation, they will immediately start to shrink for counterattack or defense.

The machine gunner was in the center, and the soldiers on both sides began to advance, with the soldiers at the front advancing cautiously.

Everyone's eyes were highly focused on the situation around them.

Once a situation is discovered, respond immediately.

"The Germans are coming!"

A Soviet soldier quickly rushed downstairs to the factory to report the situation.

There is also an underground bunker under the factory building, which was dug in the early stages of the battlefield.

Lieutenant Colonel Rulkov wore his gold-rimmed glasses and sat expressionlessly on his chair without speaking.

Combat command is not what he is good at, so he has no question of intervening in command.

Instead, I listened to the Soviet major general in front of me starting to arrange everything. The number of troops that could be used at present was very small, only 700 people. Without these 700 people, the tractor factory would basically be reimbursed.
