Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 688: The German-Soviet War (32)

Shortly after nightfall, a leading German force came to Gorac. There were only ten Hunter destroyers and one battalion of soldiers. Because the German army wanted to form a huge encirclement in Ukraine and Belarus, it was impossible to concentrate too many troops in one place.

They were warmly welcomed by the villagers of Gorac. The villagers took out the insufficient food to receive the Germans, provided several clean houses for the Germans, and even took the initiative to help the German soldiers dig trenches and build fortifications.

"Dear people of Ukraine, we are the righteous army under the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Germany to help you liberate you from the evil Stalin's rule. Our army has strict discipline and will not violate you in the slightest."

"Please come to the registration office to register. We in Germany are against the Soviet collective farm system. We will redistribute the land. Everyone will be assigned your private land to ensure that you can live a life of adequate food and clothing. Those who are short of food at home You can also apply for food subsidies and return them after harvesting next year, so you don’t have to worry about being exploited by the evil Stalin again.”

"Also, anyone who has relatives who have joined the Soviet army must also register. We have captured millions of Soviet soldiers. If your relatives are among them, we can let them go home safe and sound and live a peaceful life. "

"Long live!"

"Long Live Germany!"

The words of the German battalion commander aroused cheers from the villagers, and their impression of the Germans jumped directly from "liberators" to "liberators sent by God."

The defensive fortifications built by the Germans overnight were quickly put into use. As soon as it dawned the next day, German scouts discovered that a Soviet army was marching towards this direction in the distance, with at least one division of troops.

The battalion commander ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle while requesting air support.

One battalion versus one division, although there was a huge disparity in strength, the German army had an advantageous location. There is a river between them and the Soviet army. There is only a narrow suspension bridge on the river, making it impossible for large troops to pass. The river was both shallow and deep, just below the knees. Even if the Soviet army wanted to charge, it would be impossible to run in the water; if they forcibly crossed the river, they would only become targets.

After a while, the Soviet troops who rushed to the other side of the river began to cross the river.

The German battalion commander looked speechless. "Are these idiots not even sending scouts?" It seems that these Soviets did not know that they had broken through several lines of defense on the front line, let alone that they had advanced here. But even so, you should maintain a minimum level of vigilance.

"The fool may be saved, but the fool will really die." The German battalion commander sneered, watching these Soviet soldiers moving slowly in the river, tripping over underwater stones from time to time. After a while, the Soviet soldiers in the front row We are finally almost ashore.

"Fire!"

Following the battalion commander's order, intensive gunfire erupted on the German position. More than 20 MG3 machine guns sprayed tongues of flame back and forth. The Soviet soldiers in the water fell in pieces like cut wheat, and the river water was instantly dyed red.

After the panic, the remaining Soviet soldiers finally crawled back to the shore and looked for bunkers.

"What's going on?! What's going on?! Who is attacking us?!" the Soviet division commander yelled in confusion. He never dreamed that he would be attacked here. "Are they Germans?! Why did the Germans appear here?!" The order he received before departure was to go to the front line and assist the frontline troops in eliminating the German troops in the encirclement. But why are the German troops here now? !

"Could they be German paratroopers?" a staff officer in the division headquarters guessed. The only ones who can suddenly appear here are paratroopers.

"Paratroopers?" The Soviet division commander nodded in sudden realization, feeling that this guess was quite reasonable. "But what is the purpose of the Germans dropping paratroopers here?"

The others looked at each other, no one could guess the German army's intentions. Far away from the front line here, these paratroopers are now in an isolated and helpless situation and can be surrounded and annihilated at any time. But the Germans wouldn’t send paratroopers to their deaths in vain, would they? "To stop us?" Isn't that like mantis trying to stop us?

The Soviet division commander shook his head and simply stopped thinking about these unanswerable questions. Since he encountered the German army, he must destroy them.

The Soviet division commander reported the unexpected situation to the military district headquarters and assembled the tanks in the division headquarters to fight forward.

Dozens of tanks slowly drove into the river and headed towards the other bank. They had no idea that ten black holes in the bushes on the opposite side were aimed at them.

The Soviet soldiers followed the tanks and pressed up. With the cover of the tanks, their casualties were greatly reduced.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Ten Stalker destroyers opened fire simultaneously, hitting ten Soviet tanks that were about to climb the river bank. Some tanks moved forward for a certain distance after being shot, then remained motionless while puffing out black smoke; while some tanks directly suffered terrible explosions, and the explosion blew the entire turret away, and the infantry following closely behind A large area was swept down by the shock wave.

The Soviet tanks in the river were still searching for the German anti-tank gun positions. The Hunter destroyers had already fired their second round of shells, followed by the third and fourth rounds. In just a few minutes, the entire Soviet tank army Overturned.

This makes the infantry following the tank quite embarrassed. Keep charging forward. Without the cover of the tank, there is only a dead end. Retreat, I am afraid they will be killed by the Germans before they can reach the shore.

The Soviet division commander on the shore saw his tanks being blown up one by one. He was about to collapse and shouted loudly. "Are the artillery ready?!"

After a few more minutes, the good news finally came that the artillery was ready to fire.

The Soviet division commander roared viciously. "Bomb them hard! I'm going to blow them all up!" He yelled quite forcefully, but there was only one artillery battalion in his division, with three companies in each battalion, and each company had two guns, that is, there were only six 152mm howitzer.

A few minutes later, the shells fired by the Soviet artillery landed on the German position. Although it was not very dense, there were always some unlucky ones in the war.

As soon as a German soldier stuck his head out, he was hit in the head by fragments of an artillery shell. He fell weakly in the trench and stopped breathing instantly. The medical soldiers who came over to check the injuries only took one look, then turned around and left silently.

Taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire, the Soviet soldiers trapped in the river launched an attack, but before the sound of "Ula" could be heard, they were mowed down by dense machine gun bullets.

The German battalion commander hiding in the trench patted the dust on his head and lit a cigarette leisurely. This place is about 320 kilometers away from our own field airport. The attack aircraft formation can arrive in 40 minutes at most, and the battle has lasted for nearly half an hour. In other words, in ten minutes, these Soviets will get a taste of bombs.
