Gregory and his comrades belonged to the 4th Army of the Soviet Guards Cavalry. In the previous battles, the Soviet armored forces were beaten to pieces, and their cavalry scattered and fled.And now Marshal Budyonny has spotted the fragile flank of the German 4th Armored Army going northward, which is more than 300 kilometers away, so he ordered his cavalry to break through the thin line of defense and harass the German supply route.

Although the cavalry has lost its momentum on the frontal battlefield, the cavalry is much more useful than the armored troops in terms of the ability to sneak attack, harass the enemy, fight guerrillas, wreak havoc, and cut off supplies!Cavalry on this bad ground can run faster than tanks, and can go any way.

"Close the safety, load the weapon, and prepare for a surprise attack!" The cavalry company commander issued an order. The mortar has been assembled, and the shooting angle is being adjusted. It is ready to launch an attack at any time, but the cavalry has to be closer to launch a charge.

Gregory saw a farm a few kilometers away. According to reports from some fleeing herdsmen, they knew the distribution of German troops in several nearby companies. There were not many people on the opposite side and no armored tanks.So the superiors decided to carry out night raids on these German garrisons. They deliberately chose today when the north wind was howling, and wrapped a layer of cotton cloth on the horseshoes, and approached here silently. Presumably the German army is still sleeping. ?His own saber has not drank blood since the Soviet-Polish War.

Just when the Soviet cavalry were about to get closer, with a whoosh, a red flare suddenly rose in the sky behind them, completely disrupting the raid plan.

"Alarm!!!"

Although the recruit of the German night watch was leaning against the wall in a daze, he was not blind. The sergeant chief specifically reminded him what this kind of signal flare meant. The German army rushed out without even putting on their trousers, picked up their weapons.

"What's wrong? What? Where is the enemy?"

Faced with everyone's questioning about the signal flare that the recruit pointed to the sky, Lieutenant William's heart sank. That was the direction their platoon was in charge of.

Gregory looked back, and under the illumination of the signal flare, it seemed that there was a black spot fleeing for his life into the woods.

"Attack! Divide into several people to kill the sentinel, and the others will follow me!"

The cavalry company commander was not reconciled to the fact that his several days of planning ended without a problem because of such a signal flare, and he gave the order to attack, but the sentinel who ruined his good deeds could not be let go!So 7 or 8 cavalry turned around and ran towards the woods, and the others followed the company commander and launched a charge.

The Soviet mortars also began to bombard the farm, but the matter was hasty, and the first few rounds hit the open space on the side.The German mortars did not counterattack immediately, but fired a few flares to illuminate the surrounding area like daylight, and the fighting began.

…………

"Hans? This way! Be careful ahead!"

Not long after Cai Muzuo rushed into the woods, he saw someone waving at him from the right, so he ran over quickly.It was Friedheim, and Xiao Deng was lying behind him.

"Spread out and do a crossfire. Get grenades ready, we'll wait for them to step on a mine before we fight together!"

After slightly adjusting the position, the wooden seat is lying behind a birch tree. This kind of tree can usually grow to a height of more than ten meters, but the trunk is not so thick. He does not know whether it can block bullets like in the movie, but it can provide some Hidden.

As soon as he entered the woods, Gregory, a veteran who had been in the army for decades and participated in the First World War, the Civil War, and the Soviet-Polish War, instinctively felt that something was wrong. It was too quiet. Even if the sentry was a long-distance runner, he would not run silently now. , I am afraid there is an ambush!

He wanted to remind his comrades in arms, but those young brats such as Skipan rushed in directly, presumably they just ignored what he said, who told him that he was working under Kolchak in Belarus at the beginning, and his hands were stained. A lot of blood, otherwise, he wouldn't have been a sergeant after so many years.

So he pulled the rein, and ran quietly to the end of the line without a trace, what if he was just suspicious?

Seeing the Soviet army getting closer, Zaimuzuo could feel his excitement returning. The landmine was tripped by a thin wire tied between two trees, and the horse would jump over it without fear.He raised his MP40 and aimed it at the middle of the cavalry line.

With a bang, the cavalry at the front triggered the mines. The German mines were not as powerful as the Soviets, and they exploded.But the sudden explosion frightened the successful horse and slowed down.

This is the moment Zai Muzao has been waiting for!The MP40 in his hand shot a few short bursts, dismounting the three Cossack cavalrymen in the middle of the team, and Friedheim and Hans also threw grenades from another direction, and the Cossacks lost more than half of their troops in a short time. manpower!

Only Grigory and the two cavalry Xin in the rear were spared. The experienced old Cossack got off his horse immediately after the explosion, rolled behind a birch tree and hid himself. The spiritual ones turn around and run away.In this situation of losing speed, riding a horse is no different from a target, and it is better to be an infantry honestly.

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 47 Chapter 45 Cossacks ([-])

Cai Muzuo ignored the fleeing horse and continued to shoot at the cavalry, but the light is too dark now, and it is not easy to find the cavalry behind after dismounting and hiding, so he can only shoot randomly in the direction he remembered .

The continuous firing also exposed his own position. A cavalryman holding a Bobosha quickly pressed him back behind the trees. These birch trees may not be able to resist rifle bullets, but defense against submachine gun bullets is not a problem.

It happened to be time to change the magazine and move the position. Although there were still a few bullets left in the previous magazine, it was not the time to save money. After changing the bullets, the wooden seat crawled smoothly to another tree.

And the Soviet Bobosha was still shooting at the original position of Zai Muzuo. The 71 rounds of large drums were so capricious that the German troops who were often pressed at close range could not lift their heads.

Gregory did not fire in the same hurry as his companions. Such blind shooting at night would do no good other than becoming a target.

He slowly raised the Mosin Nagant, aiming at the possible position of the enemy ahead, patiently waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Soon, the Soviet army using Bobosha to shoot was met by two other German soldiers. A 7.92mm bullet pierced his left cheek, and another shot hit his chest. Another young Cossack Fight to the death like the ancestors did.

Gregory turned the muzzle of the gun smoothly, quickly shot at one of the enemies, and then immediately rolled one by one, rolling behind another tree.

Immediately afterwards, a shuttle of M40 bullets shot at his position just now, and sawdust flew across the unlucky birch tree, but Gregory didn't hurt a single hair.

Zai Muzao also changed cover immediately after firing for a short time. Both sides in the battle fell into a strange silence, and no one wanted to fire first to reveal their positions.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

Originally, the chirping of insects and birds was indispensable in the woods in summer, but now there is only the occasional sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the small animals realize that this place is by no means a good place.

The two sides were silent with each other for more than ten minutes, but Zai Muzuo felt that he couldn't afford it. Before, they watched a whole cavalry company pass by. Now there is at most one squad here. The enemy's reinforcements may arrive at any time, so the battle must be done quickly.

He tilted his head and saw the location of Friedheim. This guy was also hiding behind a tree not far away to observe. Xiao Deng didn't know where he was lying down and couldn't find him.

Zaimukza raised his fist and gestured for Friedheim to stay where he was and shoot, and he would find a way to attract the attention of the enemy.

On the other hand, Gregory was also deeply troubled by this German army. Now the firepower of the Soviet army is at a complete disadvantage. The last soldier on his side with a submachine gun has just died, and the sky is so dark. Mosin Nagant is hard to kill with one shot.

Secondly, the German army still planted landmines here, and their own side dared not move at will, occupying a geographical advantage.

The only good news is that there are not many enemy troops, there is only a three-person team, but there is still one more person than yourself.

As for reinforcements?There will be no more reinforcements.Gregory disapproved of the company commander's decision to forcibly attack the German army. The flare doomed this to be a failed raid, and it was hard for the cavalry to even retreat unscathed.

And the chasing troops also made a big mistake. The formation in front was too dense, so that they would suffer heavy losses if they encountered an ambush. If he was in command, they must be a few meters apart from the front, the back, the left, and the left, and advance in a search formation.

These young Soviet officers often have amazing perseverance and courage, but lack some combat experience. The one-year war has made them grow a lot in the blood and fire, but it is far from enough.Usually, they are guerrilla and reconnaissance as soon as they touch and go, but such head-to-head hard and bitter battles are relatively rare.

Suddenly, Gregory saw a black figure rushing out in front of them, rushing all the way to their right flank, and he immediately raised his gun to estimate the enemy's advancing route.

As a result, before he could take aim, another Soviet soldier on the left took the lead and fired to see the enemy off.

This shot also alarmed Sombra, making him hide behind another tree.But it doesn't matter, Gregory estimated the opposite position based on his experience, and began to aim.

Zaimuzuo leaned against the birch tree and gasped for breath. He found that every time he was in a situation, he would get extremely excited, which was not normal.Suddenly the instinct began to warn, and he bent down and lowered his head without thinking, and then a bullet flew past his helmet, shocking him into a cold sweat.

This time, the birch tree used as a cover was relatively small, so Mosin Nagan shot through it directly. Fortunately, the bullet had little kinetic energy left after penetrating the tree, and failed to penetrate his helmet.

But now is not the time to be emotional, Zaimuzuo picked up the mp40 and scanned the enemy again, suppressing the enemy, and then Friedheim also rushed out from the other side, and then threw a grenade at the Soviet army .

After a bang, Timuzuo poked his head from behind the tree, "Is it resolved?"

There was no movement from the Soviet army, and Cai Muzuo carefully went to investigate with a gun, and then what appeared in front of him was a corpse of a Soviet army lying on his stomach. , he just relaxed a little.

But where is the other one?

Intuition warned again, Zai Muzuo did not hesitate, rolled to the right according to the instinctive reminder, a cavalry knife stabbed in the previous place, thick back and wide blade, the tip of the oak leaf-like knife was powerfully swung by the master Underneath the birch tree in front of him.

"The era of cold weapons and cavalry is over! Comrade!" Zai Muzao sneered, not giving the enemy a chance to pull out the knife, and pulled the trigger.

Gregory's unwillingness to fall, according to his many years of experience, this blow will definitely pierce the heart of the German army in front of him. Whether it is the concealment beforehand or the sneak attack angle, it is perfect. The opponent should not find out, but why is it like this? ...

Timuzuo pulled out the saber stuck in the tree, and then unsheathed the scabbard from the waist of the Soviet soldier in front of him. He wanted to keep this spoil.

In the dark night, wisps of black mist penetrated into Cai Muzuo's body along the arm that was picking up the corpse, and no one noticed.

…………

After inspecting the corpses of the Soviet soldiers one by one, freeing those who were seriously injured and surviving, and looting all the weapons, the sky was about to begin to light up. Zaimuza and Friedheim sat down behind the woods without waiting for reinforcements from the company. Didn't see any new enemies either.

Xiao Deng was lying beside them, and the two found him after dawn behind a pile of weeds.He was shot in the neck by someone in the previous field battle, and he died in a foreign country without even calling for help.

The Soviet and German sides suffered the most losses from these unlucky recruits. Some people lost their lives before their names were remembered. Occasionally, a few lucky ones survived and gradually grew into veterans, but they often stood by the river With non-wet shoes, the most indispensable thing on the battlefield is accidents.

Zaimuza played with the Cossack saber, recalling the memories he had absorbed before.

"Our land is plowed with horseshoes, the glorious land is planted with the heads of Cossacks, the quiet Don is full of young widows, our father, the quiet Don is full of orphans, the quiet Don The rolling waves of the river are the tears of parents."

PS: The rhythm feels a bit slow, so just write three or four chapters if you can't handle a small battle, the main reason is that the number of words in each chapter is small.Although I have checked a lot of information and there are still some things I want to write, I still feel that I should quickly fast-forward to the main scene of Stalingrad.

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 48 Chapter 46 Order No. 227

Gregory, like the Cossack ancestors, responded to the Tsar's call to participate in the First World War 20 years ago.

He doesn't need to think about why in the cruel battlefield. Wielding a knife to kill the enemy has been the bounden duty of a Cossack for centuries. The Cossack's scimitar is not only wielded against soldiers. Looting and looting are commonplace. He ruthlessly played with the lives of the enemies and won him many medals and prizes. merit.

The world war is over, and the civil war continues.He joined the Red Army for a while, and went to the White Army for a while. He jumped repeatedly several times. The highest time he even got a position as the commander of a cavalry division under Kolchak, but because of emotional problems, he was discouraged and became a deserter. Lived for many years.Until last year, he was arrested again and enlisted in the army, and finally fell in this unknown forest.

Zai Muzuo waved the saber in his hand for a while, and then put it back into the sheath, thinking to himself that the skill given by the golden finger this time seems to be not very powerful, it seems to be completely useless.

Gregory spends ten times more time on horseback than with his wife and lover. His kung fu experience is almost all in this sword and cavalry command, and his marksmanship can only be said to be average.But what's the use of swords and horses now...

The woods were filled with mist, and on the eastern horizon, a fiery glow had already appeared.And the sun was still lazily hiding below and refused to come out, only the cool breeze blowing from under the clouds, a maroon war horse slipped into the woods without the two of them noticing.

When it was near noon, the reinforcements led by Lieutenant William came late. Everyone looked at the pile of weapons confiscated by the two of Zai Muzuo in disbelief. No one thought that they could wipe out a squad of cavalry. After giving the younger brother a hug Lieutenant William, who calmed down, also opened his mouth and explained the reason for being late.

The raid did not pose any threat to the company, but the Soviet army attacked not only this company. Last night, the frontline troops of the 16th Motorized Infantry Division encountered cavalry raids, and almost everywhere asked for help from the division headquarters.

A careless company was touched by the cavalry and threw a bunch of grenades under their noses. After the machine gun positions were lost, the Cossack sabers harvested many dead souls.Captain Feigel was afraid that there would be enemies in an ambush, so he didn't dare to act rashly in the middle of the night, and he didn't dare to send a search team until now.

The early warning of Zai Muzao and others was very important. Most people, including the captain, thought they had died a heroic death. Some people were thinking about how to hold a memorial service... After returning to the camp, the rest of the company warmly welcomed them. The serious Captain Feiger had a smile on his face, and repeatedly praised the two for their contributions to the company, saying that they would report their military exploits truthfully, and maybe they could get some medals.

After lunch the next day, the medal did not arrive, and a new order from the superior came down again.

The 4th Panzer Army did not go well under the city of Stalingrad. The Soviets launched a fierce attack on the Italian 8th Army on the northern flank of Paulus, and the 64th Army temporarily withstood Huot's attack.

The Fuehrer decided to mobilize some reliable forces to support Paulus and Hott, including the 16th Motorized Infantry Division, whose positions would be handed over to the Romanian troops for defense.I have to say that this is another wave of honeydew operations. Just a week ago, the head of state thought that the war was going well, so he transferred the [-]st Division of the SS Army back to China, the Motorized Rifle Division of Grossdeutschland was transferred to the Central Army Group, and some other troops were also transferred. away from the battlefield.

As for the 4th Army of the Soviet Guards Cavalry?Don't worry about them. After the previous night raid tasted the sweetness, they gathered heavy troops the next day to encircle and wipe out a so-called infantry battalion, but this time they kicked the iron plate.

The infantry battalion camp just came with a large number of German troops preparing to drive to the Caucasus, with more than 40 tanks and armored vehicles.The flares fired by the mortars illuminated the nearby sky like daylight, and then there was a massacre. The remaining Cossacks who had discarded their armor and armor could no longer become a big climate, and the Romanian cavalry could easily deal with them.

Now there are more than 300 million Axis troops on the entire Soviet-German battlefield, but 100 million are so-called friendly troops. The Finns in the north are fighting for revenge, and the Romanians, Hungarians, and Italians in the south.

First of all, the Hungarians. They were forced to participate, not only in small numbers but also with backward equipment. There is a saying that they actually wanted to beat the Romanians, their world enemies, but they didn't expect the mustaches to drag them into the same trench. Because the problem of oil supply is higher than the Hungarians...

Followed by the Romanians, the Soviet Union occupied nearly 1/6 of their territory through robbery two years ago, so they spent as much money as the Finns in this battle, and sent more than 30 divisions 40 There were more than [-] people, but due to lack of training and equipment, they suffered heavy losses and low morale.In addition, they didn't have a good look at the Hungarians. The Germans deliberately deployed the two armies on both sides. If they had to, they must be separated by the Italians.

Finally, there are the Italians. As far as the facts are concerned, the training and equipment of the Italians are pretty good. At least the combat effectiveness of these troops on the Eastern Front is not bad. They are much stronger than the other younger brothers of the Axis countries. More blood was shed for Germany, and he focused more on the North African battlefield than on the far east.

Unlike Germany, the war launched by Mussolini did not bring any benefits to the people and soldiers at the bottom of the country, so the morale can be imagined.Nor did they expect revenge like the Germans, Finns, and Romanians, who were victors in World War I.

On the afternoon of the day when the order was received, the company packed up everything and left. Only a few unnamed new graves remained here. Romanian and Soviet cavalry will continue to bleed for a forest, a highland, and a small river in this grassland.

…………

The closer to Stalingrad, the more tenacious the resistance of the Soviet army. The 16th Motorized Infantry Division killed many Soviet guerrillas along the way. Usually they were broken up by the 4th Armored Army and could not reach the large troops. Soldiers, together with some local residents, hid in every corner of the vast land of the Soviet Union and fought stubbornly.

Just like today, the 1st platoon where Zaimuzuo is located is quietly moving forward in a pine forest. A small group of guerrillas have nested here. They have a mortar and have been harassing the passing German supply convoy. The overwhelmed high-level officials decided to take them away in one go today.

Captain Feiger ordered a platoon to lure the enemy on the road, while Lieutenant William was responsible for the surprise attack from behind.

Soon Lieutenant William led the soldiers and sneaked close to the guerrillas. They were firing mortar shells towards the side of the road. There were only two sentries staring at this side at the rear, and no movement of the German army was found yet.

After using a stone to lure the sentries out of the bunker, the Germans shot them directly, and then the machine gun team immediately continued to fire at the mortar position to suppress the enemy, and the rest followed Lieutenant William and rushed forward.

The enemy finally reacted and fired back one after another. The rattling sound of DP28 fought back at mg42 not to be outdone.

"Use a grenade!"

Zaimuza took out an M24 long-handled grenade from his waist, unscrewed the cover, pulled the fuze and threw it towards the enemy.

But the delay of the grenade was as long as 5 seconds, and it happened to hit the helmet of a Soviet soldier and made a crisp sound. As a result, the soldier reacted quickly, picked it up and threw it out of the bunker, and then threw another man who was manipulating the machine gun next to him. The Soviet army quickly rushed to the ground.

After one unsuccessful attempt, Zaimoza took out another grenade, this time he waited for two seconds before throwing it out.

The battle ended quickly without the cover of the machine gun. The German army checked the bodies of the guerrillas one by one, and was surprised to find that half of them were female soldiers.

"The Soviets are almost out of men, they are about to surrender!" This is the optimistic view of some people, while the faces of others have become more serious.

"I found a piece of information!"

Everyone turned their heads, and a soldier held up a document and shouted excitedly. Lieutenant William hurriedly asked Friedheim to translate it, but found that there was no Soviet army's next defense plan on it, nor did it mention any secrets. To sum it up in one sentence:

"Never take a step back!"

PS: The 16th Motorized Infantry Division should have stayed on the steppe to cover the flanks without going to Stalingrad in history.If the copy speeds up, there should be tens of thousands of words left, and it will be almost the same after finishing Stalingrad.The main update is relatively slow and I have been busy recently. The number of words in each update is small, so I feel that there are too many chapters. In fact, there are not many in total... Now I am thinking about whether to reintegrate the chapters.Do you all feel tired of seeing the world?Group 6 77 ⑧ 6 [-] [-]

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 49 Chapter 47

On August 8, after clearing out the surrounding guerrillas, the 20th Motorized Infantry Division finally caught up with General Huot's advance and arrived at the outlying positions in the south of Stalingrad.

Chuikov's 64th Army blocked the 4th Panzer Army here for half a month, destroying and injuring many German tanks, forcing Huot to rest on the spot for a few days.

In the north, Paulus's 6th Army finally broke through the Don defense line, preparing to march towards the city of Stalingrad.At this time, the preparations for the defense of the urban area are far from complete. There are only some semi-finished fortifications. A large number of civilians in the city have not been evacuated, and even more refugees have fled here because of the surrounding areas.

At Stalin's request, some Soviet troops began to counterattack the northern flank of the 6th Army and the Italian defenses, but with little success.

On the 23rd, the 4th Armored Army was completed.On the eve of the attack, at the request of the regiment headquarters, Zaimuza and other leading soldiers gathered on a hillside and listened to a bald priest from a regiment on a high place make a long speech.

The Soviet army had political commissars to appease the soldiers and inspire their fighting spirit, while in the German army this responsibility fell on the priests.

"God is with us!" This sentence is engraved on the belt of every German soldier. There is no more sacred task than defending the Lamb of the Lord from the erosion of Bolshevism! In front of us, the city named after the leader of the enemy The city will be their last resistance..."

Zaimuza lowered his head to take a good look at his new belt, and found that there was really such a sentence, which he had never found before.Many people around are doing this, it seems that everyone is the same, never caring what the letters printed on the clothes and belts are for.
