Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 6 A steady stream of Soviet troops on the other side of the Volga River
As time goes by, it has entered mid-November.

Snow has begun to fall on the banks of the Volga River, and the temperature has plummeted.

As the two rains fell, the first cold air was blown to the Volga River.

The current supplies are already somewhat stretched.

Almost all of Stalingrad was captured by the Germans.

But only the last place was still not taken.

The Soviet army used the Volga River to continuously transport troops from the other side to resist.

The entire Soviet army has only the last piece of land left in its hands.

But the Soviet army just relied on this last bit of land to push back the German army.

This was also the prelude to the defeat of the German army.

“I really didn’t expect that this day would finally come.”

On the condescending terrain, deep trenches were filled with German soldiers.

Below is the last dock of the Soviet army in Stalingrad.

A large number of Soviet troops can be seen on the river rushing towards this side.

Stuka dive bombers in the sky, as well as BF109 and WF190 fighter jets wreaked havoc in the sky.

Even so, the Soviet army was still resisting tenaciously.

A large number of wooden pontoons on the river began to carry Soviet soldiers across the river.

On a square wooden pontoon, the first thing that bore the brunt was an M1910/30 Maxim heavy machine gun.

There are seven or eight Soviet soldiers on it holding Bobosha submachine guns and Mosin-Nagant rifles.

There is also a Soviet 45mm anti-tank gun on the wooden pontoon on the left, aiming at the German position on the high ground in the distance.

The giant raft on the right also carries a Soviet T26 light tank ready to cross the river.

At this time, the Soviet army used all weapons and equipment that could be used.

As long as they can kill the Germans, it is no longer important to them.

Three transport ships were loaded with Soviet mobilization troops.

There were veterans holding Bobosha submachine guns standing on the left and right sides of the transport ship.

Their purpose here is to urge this group to mobilize new recruits.

If you dare to escape or stay on the boat, you will be shot to death without gentle persuasion.

The anti-aircraft guns on the pier fired continuously at the German fighters in the air.

Shooting down is basically impossible, we just want to ensure the safety of the transport ship.

The anti-aircraft guns on the other side were also turning rapidly, trying to block the fighter jets from attacking the transport ship.

Various boats and homemade rafts are heading towards the other side.

German aircraft must choose large ships to attack.

Two of the only large transport ships had been sunk.

The rest also moved forward with water in the bottom of the boat.

The aircraft's machine guns fired a burst of fire at the hull.

Two flame-tongued whips struck the ship directly, and the bullets penetrated the ship's awning and directly hit the mobilized recruits in the cabin.

Pfft!Pfft!
Blood continued to spray out, and the cabin that was originally filled with water accelerated the rate of flooding.

"Squat down! Squat down!"

The Soviet veteran scolded the confused recruits angrily.

Two of the recruits panicked and tried to escape from the transport ship and jumped into the icy river water to escape.

Da da da!
The Soviet veteran shot and killed the two diving conscripts without any hesitation.

"Squat down!"

With another loud shout, no one dared to make any more moves.

"Drain the water from the cabin and throw the body down."

Following the orders from the veterans, the mobilized soldiers could only quickly pick up the buckets and start pouring water out.

The yellow-red water kept pouring out of the cabin.

As for the killed bodies, they were pushed directly into the Volga River.

Only then did everyone see the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

There is no use regretting now. If you dare to resist, you will die.Some just rush forward and defeat the Germans before they have a chance to survive.

The dock is about 400 meters away from the high ground. The machine gun will not waste bullets casually, and the sniper rifle is also at its limit.

Therefore, it makes no sense. Only when the order is given to reorganize the battle can we continue to attack a wave of Soviet troops.

Only by completely occupying the dock can you be considered a winner.

However, three or four consecutive attacks on the dock resulted in numerous casualties, and they were finally carried off by the Soviet army.

Now two more Soviet Guards Divisions have arrived, as well as more than [-] new mobilized soldiers mobilized from the rear.

"Sir"

As Edward walked across the battlefield, the soldiers saluted and said hello.

"Ok!"

Edward nodded. When they entered the machine gun position, Winston was talking and laughing with the machine gunners.

"Sir"

Winston stood up and said hello, and everyone else followed suit.

"How's it going? How are the machine gunners doing?"

Winston has now become a machine gunner instructor.

All the machine gunners in the company were trained by him.

There are more people using machine guns, but there is still a gap between some non-professionals and professionals.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct strict training.

"It's already pretty good. The barrel change, shooting accuracy, selective targeting, burst firing, strafing, fire cover, etc. are all pretty good."

"Well, very good, the machine gun is our guarantee. Enhance defense and tell them not to be lazy. The more defense they have, the more vitality they will have."

"I understand sir"

"Well, I'm leaving first, I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, Edward nodded and left.

The density of the position places a soldier at a distance of almost eight meters.

At the same time, separate cat-ear holes were dug in each soldier's area to avoid shelling.

The Soviet army must have several artillery groups hidden on the other side of the Volga River.

Therefore, the defense here not only has to deal with infantry, but also has to deal with Soviet artillery fire.

When Edward reached a position, a fat soldier took a nap while leaning against the trench with a weapon.

I was awakened when a slap hit my forehead.

"You are so mean-spirited! You are still sleeping here. Where is the bombproof hole you dug?"

Edward took a closer look and saw that this fat guy didn't even dig a hole for bombardment.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'll start digging now."

The fat man immediately stood up and said.

"Everyone has dug, do you dig now, or do you dig after I come! Did you really turn a deaf ear to my words?"

After speaking, Edward swung his mouth and slapped the soldier directly on the face.

The fat man ate so many big mouthfuls that he burst into tears.

I feel aggrieved and cry like a fat man weighing [-] pounds.

"Shut up! Otherwise, I will pierce your fat ass with a bayonet! If I don't see the shell-proof hole you dug in half an hour, I will push you down from here and let the Soviet army beat you to death sieve!"

This made Edward almost laugh out loud.

He directly threatened the opponent, then stared at him and started digging holes for artillery defense.

"Go and call your platoon leader over to me!"

Edward motioned to the soldiers behind him.

This area belongs to the third row, and those three rows belong to Mason's territory.

Soon Mason came to Edward.

"This is your good soldier. If I don't come to check, will this anti-gun hole be saved? Or maybe you, Mason, feel that your bones are hard now and you think that I, a mere sergeant, He De, can also serve as the company commander. Are you going to ask for help?" Are you rebelling against me?"

A big hat made Mason breathless.

　I drank too much with my relatives yesterday. I have a splitting headache today. I just came back to my senses in the evening. I quickly coded. There is another chapter tonight.
