Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 7 Ulla!Soviet counterattack, German blockade
Mason was dumbfounded by Edward's scolding.

He never expected that this big hat would be put on him when the boss called him.

“My Mason’s devotion to you is visible to God!”

Mason immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude, and at the same time kicked him hard.

The fat soldier was kicked down in the trench, but he quickly got up again.

He didn't dare to just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Needless to say, the end would be even worse.

Just when Edward reprimanded the sloppy fortification work, the Soviet counterattack began.

boom!
An artillery bombardment began on the other side to cover the Soviet attack.

One after another, 76mm artillery shells exploded on the high ground.

Then came the 85mm field artillery, plus the 122mm howitzer, which began to wreak havoc.

The Germans were not polite and directly mobilized a 75mm field artillery group, plus a 105mm howitzer group, to start a counterattack.

After the shells fell, everyone probably knew that the battle was coming soon.

"Take cover"

Edward directly grabbed the fat soldier who was huddled in the trench and bent over and shuttled through the trench back to the company headquarters.

The reinforced bunker can withstand the bombardment of a 122mm howitzer.

It only takes one, and the chance of being hit is actually low.

A group of three people entered the company headquarters.

Edward patted the dirt on his body, and Mason was about to go back, but was stopped by Edward.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? There's shelling outside, you're dying! Come back and sit down."

Edward scolded Mason.

Mason could only stop and stand next to Edward.

"You know I didn't mean to vent my anger on you, but how could you let this mistake happen? No matter what, this damn fat man is our soldier, and we have an obligation to keep him alive and well on the battlefield as much as possible. Don’t forget, you are a platoon leader now, not a soldier, you have to take responsibility, understand?”

After Edward sat down, he sighed and looked at Mason and began to give Mason serious instructions.

"I understand, boss, I will take responsibility"

Mason nodded heavily in response.

"come here"

Edward motioned to the fat soldier squatting at the door.

The fat soldier cautiously came to Edward and Mason.

"What is your name?"

Edward asked.

"In reply to the officer, my name is Lucas von Tob"

"Oh, you are still a noble! With your status, shouldn't you be assigned an officer?"

After hearing the other party's name, Edward couldn't help teasing.

To give a brief introduction, the top leaders of the German Wehrmacht are basically from the Junker aristocracy, as well as the old Prussian aristocrats.

This is also the stereotype among us Easterners that German soldiers need to be called by a long list of names in order to look like a German.

How could a family of ordinary dung collectors get such a lofty title? It was just an ordinary name.

The name Sheldon sounds meaningless to us, but in the eyes of Westerners, it is similar to the name Zhang San and Li Si in China.

In the 80s, due to the British trend in Eagle Sauce, the name Sheldon was immediately thrown into disrepute, and was eventually reduced to a name that was a joke.

As for the Western European continent, except for the names of nobles, the names of ordinary people really don't have anything fancy, just simple names.In fact, you can search. In addition to the senior German generals you know, how many names of German soldiers do you know?Do you feel like there are none?
Take Gobert, the mustache's subordinate, whose full name is Paul Joseph Gobert.

He was born into a family of ordinary church officials, so his name did not have the prestigious titles of Junkers and Prussians.

Our protagonists and supporting cast members all come from ordinary civilian families, so their names are not related to aristocrats at all.

Among the tens of millions of Germans, all kinds of names are possible. Because too many movies we watch come from Hollywood, so the names we remember are all from the Eagle Sauce side. Ask yourself, is that right?

Another 400 words have been written. I can’t help but many people complain about this issue.

……

"I didn't want to come, it was my father who forced me to come with a gun."

The fat soldier expressed with a cry that he didn't have to come here on his own.

"That's it! From today on, you will be the vanguard!"

Edward said immediately after understanding.

Although this fat man was born into a noble family, his old father hated iron and finally forced him to come to the battlefield.

For Edward, since you are afraid of death, then you should be the vanguard.

The so-called vanguard is the person who walks through the minefield at the front.

The one at the front is definitely the priority target to be attacked.

Immediately after the bombardment, Edward stood up and took up his weapon.

"What are you waiting for? Go back to your position. If you dare to let a Soviet soldier come up, I will skin you."

The soldiers despised this guy who was forced to go to the battlefield.

In their eyes, this person is a coward, so the soldiers despise him.

Hurray! Hurray!Ula!
As the voice of Ula resounded throughout the entire highland, Edward also knew that a war was coming.

Also walking out of the bunker were four heavy engineers carrying flamethrowers and entering the battlefield.

After the Soviet transport ship arrived on the other side of the river, it immediately drove off all the mobilization soldiers on the ship.

Several of the Soviet soldiers who were accidentally pushed into the water were shot dead.

At this time, it doesn’t matter if you were careless or something else, just shoot them.

Only in this way can these new mobilization soldiers be deterred.

The mobilized soldiers had only one idea left, just rush forward.

A police officer held a loudspeaker and shouted, "Everyone, go forward to collect weapons and ammunition. Don't stop, don't retreat, follow the person in front of you. If he dies, you take up arms and fight back. Anyone who retreats will be punished according to the law." "Treason"

More than 300 conscripts disembarked from the three troop carriers. In addition, more than 500 conscripts disembarked from other rafts and boats, and [-] assault troops formed up to prepare for the charge.

Three tanks were also transported. Although they were light tanks, the presence of the tanks inexplicably increased the morale of the soldiers.

However, these tanks will not follow the soldiers in the charge. They are here to guard the area and prevent the dock from being completely captured.

One conscript held a Mosin-Nagant rifle and fired five bullets, while the soldier behind him got a bridge clip and five bullets in his hand but no weapon.

You can only follow the soldier in front. When he dies, pick up his weapon and fight back.

As the voice of Ula resounded throughout the entire highland, the German machine gunners above also greeted him politely.

Hiss!Hiss!
The Soviet conscripts who stormed the high ground rolled and fell with countless casualties.

The following Soviet soldiers continued to attack with shouts of "Ulrah".

Because the consequences of retreating would be to take bullets from one's own people, and oneself would be convicted of treason, and the whole family would be ruined. Under such high pressure, the Soviet soldiers could only grit their teeth and charge.
