Steel Soviet Union

The infantry of the Wehrmacht, which lacked heavy weapons and only had some individual light weapons, could not deal with this convoy. The well-prepared SS troops even installed armor in the truck compartment. Although it was very thin, it was just enough to withstand rifle bullets. and bulletproof steel plates for pistol bullets. It is not an exaggeration to say that these trucks that are still moving forward at high speed are mobile infantry positions.

If you want to attack these iron-skinned bastards, you have to use something like an anti-tank gun. For infantry, you must at least have something like an iron fist or a small-caliber machine gun.

Regrettably, this incomplete infantry division of the Wehrmacht has suffered heavy casualties and heavy losses in the fierce battles with the Soviet army in recent days. Basically, all kinds of light and heavy technical equipment have been lost. The limited number of divisional anti-aircraft guns have also been too burdensome. Due to the speed of the march, it was abandoned by the roadside.

As for the anti-tank gun that tried to fire just now but was killed by the SS on the spot, considering that the Russians' pursuers must be mainly high-mobility tank troops, the anti-tank gun will definitely come in handy.

Moreover, the 75mm anti-tank gun itself is not too heavy and is much easier to carry than the clumsy PAK 43 88mm anti-tank gun. It is not a hindrance to a limited number of trucks to tow one and carry the wounded.

The Wehrmacht infantrymen, who lacked heavy weapons and had almost zero weapons on hand, could not even get close enough to move forward. The empty wilderness of the garrison was unobstructed and there were no bunkers for movement.

As long as the infantry of the Wehrmacht dared to try to advance even half a step, the hail of bullets that hit their heads and faces would kill them immediately.

It was not that some machine gun teams that had just arrived for support had not thought about blasting those trucks with barrages. It was just that after the machine guns were set up and less than half of the bullet chain was fired, those who didn't know what they had No matter how experienced the enemy is, they will immediately retaliate with ferocious attacks, ranging from reverse suppression by several machine guns to straight sweep with machine guns at worst.

The machine-gun teams of the National Defense Forces that lacked cover and were prone to shoot from the ground were extremely miserable. Those with good luck could at least leave intact corpses. If they were unlucky, they would be torn apart by the machine-gun barrage along with the men and their guns. fragmented.

It is very rare for the defender to be suppressed by the surprise attacker after reacting, but the real situation at the moment is like this, and it is not bad at all.

Scott was relieved that the battle was going more smoothly than he expected. At this moment, he could already see the material storage area not far away through the car window.

Several Wehrmacht soldiers running around like frightened rats were preparing to intercept them with guns, but the most powerful firepower among them was just an MG42 general-purpose machine gun that had been targeted by the SS convoy.

With this level of defensive strength, Scott even dared to say that destroying them was no more difficult than trampling an ant to death.

The SS convoy, which had carried enough ammunition before departure, was now outputting firepower like crazy regardless of ammunition consumption. After all the ammunition they carried with them was used up, they bent over in the compartments of trucks and half-tracks to resupply and load ammunition. Boxes of bullets and grenades were placed at their feet within easy reach.

Fighting with such ferocious and brutal destructive firepower, it is natural to suppress the National Defense Forces who only have substandard light weapons in their hands. The dawn of victory was already waving to Scott and his SS troops at this moment. After getting the oil and withdrawing it quickly, his mission would be considered complete.

Unexpected situations always happen at the same time without you realizing it.

That is to say, when Scott was leading a massacre against the last remaining defenders of the Wehrmacht, he was stationed at the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, which was only three kilometers away. Malashenko, who suddenly heard the sudden gunfire and explosion in the quiet night, was startled out of bed.

"What's going on!? Report the situation! Where is the firefight!?"

Malashenko, who rushed back from the front army headquarters overnight with orders, had just finished his work. Less than ten minutes after he fell asleep on the camp bed with his clothes on, he was suddenly knocked out of bed by the sudden burst of firefights in the dark night. The whole body was pulled up cleverly.

Malashenko, who was buttoning up his clothes and walked quickly into the tent hall of the division headquarters, immediately asked questions repeatedly. He saw that the telegraph machine in the division headquarters was already buzzing with all kinds of urgent incoming and outgoing calls. They are all confirming the latest situation.

"Hey, this is the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division! No, our division has not launched an attack. The time of the general attack has not changed yet. The sound of exchange of fire was not made by our division. Our troops have not taken action."

"Hello? The 17th Guards Infantry Division? We heard a firefight. What? You don't know? It wasn't initiated by your division? Okay, I understand. Contact us again."

"No, I repeat it again! The attack was not initiated by our division. Our troops are still in place and ready to stand by."

A large group of people in the division headquarters are all as busy as a clockwork machine, with all kinds of phone conversations and phone ringing ringing non-stop, just like China Mobile's customer service headquarters. Political Commissar Petrov, who was giving orders in front of the telegraph machine, saw that Malashenko had arrived, then turned around and walked forward on his own initiative, speaking as he walked.

"It's not clear yet. The sound of the exchange of fire just came not long ago. We received calls from several other neighboring divisions. They were also confused and couldn't figure out what happened. They thought the attack time had been advanced and our division The first one to launch the attack, come and ask us about the specific situation and whether we need to cooperate.”

"But we did not receive such an order from our superiors at all, and the troops did not move. The sound of the exchange of fire came from the front of our division's defense area, but judging from the distance and direction of the sound, it was very abnormal! It sounded like it was coming from From the depths of the German station, it can be confirmed that no Red Army unit has established a salient at such a forward point, something is wrong! "

""

Malashenko, who was still a little sleepy just now, now has his eyes wide open and no sleep at all. What Comrade Political Commissar said made Comrade Ma have three question marks on his head. If emoticons could be posted during the Great Patriotic War, Malashenko now specifies that he wants to send a black question mark emoticon to express his feelings. Who knows what the hell is going on!

"Could it be that those German guys were having internal strife? They couldn't agree on whether to surrender or continue fighting, so they just started fighting with each other?"

Malashenko, who even found it a bit unbelievable to himself, thought this and said it directly to the political commissar in front of him. Although he thought this hypothesis was crazy, the political commissar who really couldn't deny it just shook his head. Shake his head.

"I don't know. I have never encountered a situation like today. I have already ordered to contact the front army headquarters. I believe that Comrade Commander will give us an order soon."
