Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 2209 Fire in the Snow

When the rockets and aerial bombs swept over their faces, the German soldiers on the ground, who were staring with big eyes and small eyes, were so frightened that they had no time to escape, and the cracking sounds of heart-breaking roars at the top of their lungs echoed in the air. Among them, it resonates with the rain of bullets. Google search reading

"Air raid! Russian air raid! Disperse"

Boom——

A huge explosion was accompanied by a mushroom cloud that instantly rose from the ground. The shock wave that shook the moment the bomb exploded was like a tsunami, sweeping through everything around it. Even the snow on the ground looked like a dish stir-fried in a pot. It blew directly into the air, and the pale storm of destruction was filled with flames of death. This was the current situation.

"Hidden! Get out of the car! Hurry and take cover!!!"

It sounds like a blessing to be able to stay in the truck instead of using your legs to drive. At least it can save you the trouble and energy of the journey.

But an unavoidable fact is that those German soldiers who were "lucky" to be in the car were not intact people. Instead, they were injured by the Red Army's devastating shelling and air raids during yesterday's high-intensity battle that lasted all day. The wounded German soldiers who were crippled by the bombing and barely survived the explosion survived.

Wounded soldiers cannot continue to fight on the front line, especially those who are injured by shelling and air raids. Most of them still have missing arms and legs. Staying on the front line is even more cumbersome and useless. They are sent to the rear of the position to recuperate and prepare. Transferring is normal.

And when the German rearguard changed to the forward position and began to retreat, these wounded soldiers had only been withdrawn not long ago, and some of them were not even out of danger. , we can only retreat as convenient as possible.

But when an unexpected Red Army air raid suddenly came, the wounded German soldiers placed on the trucks once again became more unlucky than the last.

The driver and co-pilot of the truck were so frightened by the violent air raids and explosions and the roar of fighter planes that they jumped out of the truck and ran away. They had no intention of caring about those injured or disabled people in the back of the truck who had difficulty moving. Wounded comrades.

"Help me, don't leave, who can help us?"

No one cared about the helpless cries of the wounded in the back of the car. Of course, it was possible that they didn't hear them at all. After all, there was nothing that people cared about more than escaping under the massive Russian air raids. Even if they heard it, How? Is it really necessary to sacrifice the lives of more intact people for the sake of those cripples?

This is obviously not worth it. Of course, no one will think about it when they are burning their butts. It is better to save their own lives first.

Boom——

Boom boom——

The Russian air raids were still raining down bullets and exploding everywhere, as if thunder was hitting the earth. There were shocks and fires everywhere. The truckload of wounded who had not been hit by the air raids yet were still alive. No matter how complicated the emotions are, the injured should understand the truth now: they can only rely on themselves if they want to survive.

"We have to get out of here. Let's all move. Help those who can't move. Hurry!"

The officers among the wounded were calling on everyone to move quickly without waiting. The less injured ones were supporting those who were seriously injured and those who were missing arms and legs. The ones with their heads covered with bandages were trying to lift the ones lying on stretchers. A group of wounded German soldiers who were missing parts did their best to survive, but this did not mean that they were qualified to live.

Effort is just a process, not a result, and efforts may not necessarily lead to positive gains, just like an Il-2 attack plane roaring and swooping down toward the ground, which does not recognize the efforts of these German soldiers.

Boo hoo hoo hoo——

Dong dong dong dong——

A salvo of rockets was fired from a distance of five hundred meters, and the roar of machine guns was heard from a distance of three hundred meters.

The Ilyushin-2 attack aircraft, which is proficient in the attack rhythm, is obviously the vehicle of an experienced pilot. The short attack window of a dive covered a row of six German trucks, and the 132mm heavy aviation rockets and 23 mm aircraft cannon shells, rain and dew are evenly sprinkled on the enemy's face, everyone has a share, ensuring that the attack effect of a dive is maximized.

If there are fully enclosed armored vehicles, the situation may be much better. As long as they are not directly hit by 132mm rockets, there should be no problem, but the fate of these fragile, unarmored and open-top German troop transport trucks , but not so lucky.

With just one shot of the 132mm rocket, even if it is just a side hit or even a near-miss, it can easily take away these "iron-clad" fragile troop carriers, including people and vehicles, instantly. The premise is that if there are really people in the car, it happens that there are indeed many German trucks that are abandoned and unable to move, and there are quite a lot of them.

"Oleg! All 6 vehicles have been killed! I saw those fascists burning, and the vehicles were all filled with Nazis!"

Generally speaking, when a fixed-wing attack aircraft completes a dive attack and changes its course to an oblique angle and pulls up to climb, the pilot, who is limited by the visual angle, cannot look back at the ground to confirm his results. However, this is This is not a problem for IL2.

The self-defense machine gunner in the back seat had a panoramic view of the mess on the ground after the air raid. He clearly saw how the German soldiers in the truck were lifted into the sky by the violent explosion, and then fell heavily as the fire and smoke dissipated. It was smashed to the ground and turned into puddles of flesh. The pilot in the front seat immediately blurted out an excited shout.

What's weird is that the Germans, who had an extremely limited number of trucks on hand and were short of fuel, had to adhere to the principle of "one truck for multiple purposes". They not only loaded the wounded in the truck, but also stuffed a few boxes of ammunition into the truck wherever possible to ease the trek. The soldiers were carrying heavy loads during the retreat and tried to run as fast as possible.

The idea is a good one. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in doing this unless something unexpected happens. But the problem is that this is not an ordinary situation. It is a massive air raid by the Red Army.

The power of the warhead charge of the 132mm heavy-duty rocket itself is already considerable enough. In addition, the fuel in the truck and the ammunition carried in the back compartment are detonated together. It is not actually how dazzling the large fireworks that exploded from the truck can be. It’s hard to guess why the remains of German soldiers were blown up to an altitude of more than ten meters for the same reason.

"Sit tight! I want another round!"

After hearing the feedback from the rear seat gunner who confirmed the results with his own eyes, the pilot, who still had surplus airborne ammunition and could fire at least two more rounds, immediately changed to level flight, pushed the joystick in his hand and steered the Il-2 into the attack channel again. Prepare to once again throw fire and death onto the heads of the Fascist bandits below.
