Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 63 Barbarossa, a small town stumbling block
The Soviet soldiers who were lurking in the late stage charged at the German defense line one by one desperately.

Boateng led his company into the town and directly encountered the Soviet troops who rushed in. The two sides immediately started a bloody battle.

The Soviet army's actions were obviously not as fast as the German army's reaction.

This German army has participated in the Battle of Waves, the Battle of Belgium, and the Battle of France. It can be said that it has fought on both the east and west fronts.

On the other hand, the Soviet soldiers in front of me were like young people who had just emerged from society.

The German soldiers were already at the level of social animals.

I have never seen such strong winds and waves. The moment the two sides met, the Germans raised their weapons and opened fire.

The stunned Soviet soldiers did not react so quickly. This was the gap between the two sides, and also the gap between the veterans and the new recruits.

After a fierce battle, the two sides were determined because of the distance. Even if the German army responded quickly at a distance of less than 40 to [-] meters, the Soviet army was not a display.

Their numbers are there, and you can hit them with a gun with your eyes closed.

Bullets from both sides continued to shuttle through the body, and blood mist continued to spray out of the body.

One after another fell to the ground, and more than 100 Soviet soldiers were all strangled to death under the powerful firepower of more than 30 German soldiers.

However, there were less than ten people in the German army who could be intact.

The rest were more or less wounded rifles.

The blood from the corner of his mouth couldn't stop pouring out.

At this time, there is no action left, all I can do is firmly believe in that sentence and never abandon or give up!

The living soldiers immediately rescued the injured soldiers.

For those soldiers who were so seriously injured that they were close to taking their last breath and could not even speak, they could only give him a shot of morphine to accompany him until he died.

A bloody battle started at such a close distance, including many Soviet soldiers holding DP light machine guns.

The hole that the dense bullets passed through the chest was very small, but there was already a wound the size of a bowl in the back, which could not be blocked.

"Brother! It's okay, it's okay!"

A German soldier with red eyes supported his comrade and kept pressing a ball of sandpaper on his back, but the blood could not stop at all.

The 7.62mm medium-power bullet hits at close range, just like an AK47 hits.

Anyone who has actually seen it knows that the AK penetrates into a hole as big as a peanut, but the exit is a wound as big as a bowl.

The Mosin Nagants in front of us are all 7.62mm bullets, and their close-range lethality is basically the same as that of AK47.

The follow-up troops immediately became alert after arriving and carried out rescue work at the same time.

"Quick! Rescue brothers, be careful"

Boateng shouted immediately after arriving, with shock and anger written on his face.

More than 30 brothers in a platoon were here in less than 5 minutes, and they were so impressive.

As many as seven soldiers died of serious injuries. Of the 38 soldiers, less than 18 survived. Six of them were alive, nine were seriously injured, and six of them needed to have their limbs amputated.

This is equivalent to the entire platoon being reimbursed.

Boateng was both sad and angry about the scene before him.

So many brothers were reimbursed like this, and it would be difficult for anyone to calm down.

"Lieutenant, the Soviet troops have come in again"

The Soviet troops in the distance rushed out of an alley again, numbering no less than 300 people.

"shooting!"

Following Boateng's order.

The 13.8mm heavy machine guns on Humvees and Puma armored vehicles were like harvesters, harvesting the heads of Soviet troops.

After 40 people fell, it became clear that the German firepower in front of them was too fierce.

Instead of retreating and being killed by the supervising team, it is better to surrender in front of the German army and at least save your life.

In this way, a Soviet soldier found a white towel and hung it on the tip of his gun, waving it.

Then everyone stopped shooting and waited to see what happened.

A corporal from the Soviet army came out with a Soviet soldier.It means the people behind came to surrender.

"We are willing to surrender!"

The corporal spoke.

Then he raised his hand and threw the gun in his hand to the ground.

More than [-] people later threw their weapons out one after another, and then carefully raised their hands to express surrender.

"Take them all down and put them under custody."

Seeing that the other party chose to surrender, Boateng did not embarrass the other party any more.

The fighting continues throughout the town.

When the heavy firepower company appeared, the battle trend began to change.

First of all, those 6 E5 light tanks are insurmountable for the Soviet army.

The E5 light tank has a 7.92mm machine gun in the front, a 7.92mm machine gun coaxially, and a vehicle-mounted 13.8mm anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof.

Without firing, these three machine guns can kill you.

William, with three and four companies, had already moved behind the Soviet army.

Four M1940 75mm infantry guns were ready for bombardment.

At the same time, four 80mm mortars were also preparing for shelling.

In addition, 6mm tank guns on six Tieniu armored vehicles are also ready to fire.

"fire!"

Following the order, four M1940 75mm infantry guns fired a salvo of shells.

Four 80mm mortars were also placed inside one after another.

In the originally quiet rear of the Soviet army, those who were bombed were instantly thrown off their backs.

"Damn it! What's going on? Why did the German army appear behind us? Didn't we get rid of the German army?"

With a livid face, the Soviet Major General took out his binoculars and looked at the situation behind him. The continuous artillery fire made him feel a sense of despair.

The town ahead has not yet been broken through, but now multiple tanks and a large number of armored vehicles have appeared.

If you continue like this, you will definitely be doomed.

"Immediately order all armored vehicles and tanks to break through the town for me. Concentrate superior forces to tear me a line from here. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."

The Soviet major general with red eyes roared.

After hearing what the leader said, the people below did not dare not to implement it.

Only a few remaining tanks began to charge, including a T34 tank, but this was obviously an early T34 tank.

It seems that the tonnage is only about 25 tons, which is not a complete model.

The artillery equipped at this time should still be about 30 times the caliber.

This kind of artillery can pose a threat to the E5 light tank at close range, but it will be choked if it exceeds 800 meters.

After all, the turret of the E5 light tank is integrated and ground, rather than a pieced and welded turret. Its defensive power is much stronger than that of a spliced ​​and welded turret.

Although its frontal armor is tilted at 60 degrees, it cannot be compared with the vertical 90mm armor.

But it can at least withstand 70mm penetration.

A 76mm gun with a caliber of about 30 times cannot really penetrate 70mm at a slightly farther distance.

We need to know how deep the penetration of its complete 42.5 times caliber 76 mm artillery is.

What's more, it's a 30.5mm gun with a diameter of 76 times.

The maximum penetration depth of the 42.5 times caliber 76 mm gun at 1000 meters is only 66 mm.

A 30.5mm gun with a diameter of 76 times can penetrate 800mm armor within 50 meters.
