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

Chapter 88 Edward leads his troops to help William, and the Soviet night attack begins

As Marshal Bock's order was issued, mobile units at all levels that were still able to move began to assemble.

Three-wheeled motorcycles, half-track armored vehicles, trucks, and tanks that were able to move all started their engines and prepared to go to support the battle.

The Germans are still a little arrogant. After all, the front is supported by more than [-] people under William plus two infantry divisions of mules and horses.

They are very impressed that they have been able to hold up until now.

So after receiving the news, whether voluntarily or not, they all climbed into the car and prepared to go to support William's troops.

"Edward, you are a major, why did you run away?"

One of the officers shouted in confusion.

"What's wrong with the major? Brother William is still a colonel! Bucky, Holt, and Adam climbed up with the brothers. They must hang on the leg hangers even if they can stand."

Edward called to the soldiers who climbed onto the carriageway.

There were more than thirty people hanging on a No. [-] tank, and they hung on it wherever they could put their feet.

In this way, a mobile force headed towards Minsk in a mighty manner.

After the sky turned dark, William was relieved, but he did not dare to be careless.

After all, it is not impossible for the opponent to start a night battle.

There are really not many mobile troops in his hands now, and the hundred-kilometer defense line is already as shaky as a spider's thread to him.

The good news is that more than 2600 infantrymen and more than [-] mobile troops came from the rear.

This can be regarded as a shot in the arm for William.

As long as we survive tonight, we will have air force support tomorrow.

"Colonel, I have been ordered to lead my troops to reinforce you."

Edward saluted William.

"Thank you Edward, you have saved the whole of Minsk. The Soviet army is likely to start a night battle tonight. In fact, they also know that once the weather clears tomorrow, our air force will definitely fall on them. So what I can be sure of is that they will definitely launch another night attack!"

After William returned the gift, he stretched out his hand and clasped it tightly before saying.

"I and my brothers have a total of [-] elites. Their mobility is definitely not as good as the mechanized troops, but I can guarantee that our defensive position will be the last to be broken through!"

Edward spoke to William.

"I just need elites like you! Come and take a look, here, the damage here is very serious, and it is in urgent need of replacement. The Soviet army launched two key strikes here and here. I think they will carry out another fierce attack on this at night. Attack, everything is up to you, Edward."

William pulled Edward towards the map and pointed to an area and said.

"Don't worry, Colonel. I am determined to complete the mission. Unless eight hundred people are dead, we will not take a step back!"

Edward said seriously.

"Very good! Come over here and I'll show you some secret weapons. You can select fifty people to learn how to use this later."

After speaking, William took Edward to see the secret weapon.

To put it bluntly, this is a tank-killer RPG rocket launcher.

But there is no equipment for conventional troops, so this is the secret weapon.

For tanks, ordinary infantry can only use weapons such as cluster bombs or explosive pack anti-tank rifles.

Either it is an anti-tank gun, but with the Soviet artillery fire, many anti-tank guns will be destroyed to a certain extent.

It has no deterrent effect against large numbers of tanks.

So now we need these RPG rocket launchers to support the scene.

"This is a tank killer! It can penetrate the front armor of a tank at a distance of [-] meters, and the [-]mm thick armor can penetrate from the front. With these things, tanks will not dare to get close."

William pointed to the high-end goods in the alley and explained. “So that’s it! This is really an artifact among infantrymen!”

After looking at the RPG rocket launcher, Edward couldn't help but admire it.

"What do these mean? You will know what good things are in the future!"

William didn't think the RPG rocket launcher was that awesome.

There is no technical content and it has to be hit close to each other. For William who lives in later generations, the javelin is a good thing.

A shot falls directly from the sky and enters the soul, and it can also be guided and locked.

But then again, it’s pretty good to have RPGs available in this era.

A secret message from the Führer came from Marshal Bock's headquarters.

Marshal Bock opened the secret letter and it said, William's life must be guaranteed!

Minsk doesn’t have to, but they must bring William back.

Huzi also saw that William had brought too many surprises to him during these times.

So he now recognizes this nephew very much. He has no children, so this nephew is now regarded as his son.

The mustache is not as cold-blooded as the big beard, and the sons will give it up if they say they don't want it.

At the same time, he also saw the danger of the battle in Minsk. After learning that William had dispatched [-] troops into Minsk plus his own [-] troops, he and two mules and horses carried the front line. Mustache's face was already gloomy.

After receiving the letter, Marshal Bock also understood that if something happened to William, his military career would be over.

"Immediately order the 15th Division to rush overnight to support the battle in Minsk, find Colonel William, and replace him."

Bock gave the order.

Although the rest of the people didn't quite understand, no one dared to question the marshal's order and could only carry out the order immediately.

On the outskirts of Minsk, artillery fire continued. Edward and his soldiers had just entered the position and were attacked by Soviet artillery fire before they had time to make repairs.

Katyusha rockets filled the sky falling from the sky like rain.

Whoosh whoosh!Whoosh whoosh!
  The colorful display like fireworks can be seen from two kilometers away.

"Damn it! What's going on? The Soviet army launched another attack?"

Looking at the fire that filled the sky, I thought about Edward's troops who had just entered the position.

William began to worry.

The rest of the area was also bombarded, but it wasn't as if that area was the focus of attention.

Fortunately, the positions in that area were all built by William's men.

Although a lot of them were blown up, they were able to avoid some shelling and reduce casualties.

"If the cannonball falls, then I will be the first to be killed! So when I am not dead, everyone will build a defense line for me. If we can't stop it here, then all of us will die here. Do you think Do you want the Soviet army to invade Germany and oppress your wife and daughter?"

Edward shuttled across the battlefield, surrounded by artillery fire.

The bold ones were different, and the guards around him were terrified to death.

You have to know that one shot will not work even if they are stacked several times.

Sometimes it's like this, the more scared you are, the more you get killed.

At this time, Edward might not be ready for God to take his life.

So none of the cannonballs hit his head. After all, he applied for it.

At the same time, William was also regarded as a role model. William's achievements were legendary among the younger generation of officers.
