Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 702 The German-Soviet War (45)

The news that Ashgabat, the capital of the Union Republic of Turkmenistan, had been occupied by German troops reached the Kremlin, and everyone looked unhappy. Although Turkmenistan is not very developed and can even be said to be a bit backward, Ashgabat is also the capital after all! It was a bit too exaggerated to fail to hold on for even five days before falling.

"The Germans dropped a large number of incendiary bombs and the whole city burned for two days and two nights, so our defenders suffered heavy casualties."

"It doesn't matter what weapons the Germans use!" Stalin rudely interrupted the staff report. "It's because they are not loyal enough to the motherland and have no determination to fight the enemy to the death!"

"..." Eisenhower rolled his eyes when he heard this. Are you really sick? I don’t know how many people have been burned to death but you are still not loyal? ! Still lacking determination? ! Are they loyal if they turn into ghosts and continue fighting? ! "The German army used a large number of incendiary bombs when they attacked Belfast, Ireland, and Cairo, Egypt. Moreover, these incendiary bombs were specially made and were not easy to extinguish. They could not even be extinguished with water."

At this time, the German army was already moving towards the next target, which was Geokjepe, a city northwest of Ashgabat, with the same leaflets and the same warning.

Stalin also issued an order not to take a step back and to fight until the last moment, but he still mentioned that you could hide in air-raid shelters when the Germans bombed.

The area of ​​Geokjepe was much smaller than Ashgabat, but the number of napalm bombs dropped by the Germans was no less than when they bombed Ashgabat, and the whole city burned more violently.

The German troops who entered the city two days later did not find the charred corpses everywhere, but they saw densely packed corpses packed together in an air raid shelter.

"It seems that these people died from lack of oxygen."

"Oh, God! These guys might as well be burned to death." Looking at these hideous-looking corpses, the German soldiers present couldn't help but spit a few mouthfuls of saliva. After all, at least they couldn't see the expressions of the corpses after they were burned to charcoal.

However, these air-raid shelters still had some effect, and many surviving Soviet troops continued to fight.

However, the German army not only dispatched ground armored units such as the "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun equipped with four 20mm aviation cannons and the Grizzly assault gun equipped with a 150mm caliber howitzer, but also dispatched a large number of attack aircraft and helicopters.

The helicopter is not only equipped with a 7mm machine gun, but also external rockets. Although the accuracy of these rockets is not very good, the rockets can be fired close to a building and are enough to blow the building down. Moreover, the power of the 7mm machine gun should not be underestimated. The bullets fired can penetrate a concrete wall of 10 centimeters or a brick and sand structural wall of nearly one meter, leaving enemies hiding in the house with nowhere to hide.

The Soviet army could not withstand such a combined ground and air attack, and was quickly wiped out. Two days later, Geokjepe also fell completely into the hands of the Germans.

No matter how angry and roaring Stalin was, the German army systematically attacked every city in Turkmenistan and occupied them.

On the other side, the undercurrents in major cities in Belarus and Ukraine are becoming more and more turbulent, and they are on the verge of breaking out.

Large cities such as Minsk in Belarus and Kiev in Ukraine have a large number of Soviet soldiers stationed there. At least on the surface, no one dares to mess around. However, most of the remaining cities are occupied by Belarusian and Ukrainian troops.

On this day, the political commissar of the 109th Division headquarters stationed in the small Ukrainian city of Lebekin convened a meeting with the political commissars of each brigade, regiment, and battalion. "The atmosphere in the army has become increasingly uncomfortable recently."

"Comrade Alexei, I was about to report this matter to you." A battalion political commissar told what happened yesterday. It turned out that there was a soldier in their camp whose hometown was in the local area. Yesterday, the soldier tried to sneak out without reporting anything, but he was caught red-handed. The political commissar regarded him as a deserter and prepared to shoot him on the spot, but found that the soldiers onlookers were staring at him with unkind expressions, and several soldiers had even grasped the handles of their guns. If the battalion commander had not stepped forward to calm the matter in the end, the consequences would have been terrible. I can not imagine.

"Soldiers in our battalion are also disobeying orders and are becoming more and more arrogant."

"Same in our group."

Several political commissars discussed it and found that their situation was quite bad. Most of their troops were Ukrainian soldiers. The Russians only had them political commissars and one or two activists in each platoon. If there was trouble, these people would not be enough. It’s stuck between your teeth!

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and the guard at the door shouted loudly. "What are you going to do?!"

"What's going on outside? Who's making trouble!" Just as Alexey asked, several gunshots suddenly rang out at the door. Everyone in the room almost instinctively pulled out the pistols on their waists and pointed it at the door.

There was a cold voice outside. "Listen to the people inside, immediately put down their weapons and come out to surrender! Otherwise, shoot to death!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. This was the voice of the division commander Maxim! Alexei yelled even more subconsciously. "Comrade Maxim, are you trying to commit treason?!"

"Treason?" Maxim sneered. "No, I am loyal to Ukraine. And when it comes to treason, you are the first to bear the brunt." There was an indescribable complacency and gloating in his tone. "I have issued a surrender broadcast in your name. According to Stalin's 'Order No. 270,' you should all know what will happen to your family, right?"

"What?" Everyone was shocked and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. This is so insidious! They were loyal to their motherland, but their families were charged with treason. Even if the injustice can be avenged in the future, what's the use if everyone is dead by then? !

"Maxim, you bastard, I'll fight you!" One of the political commissars roared with grief and anger, drew his pistol and fired wildly at the door.

But it was obvious that Maxim would not just stand at the door and take bullets.

"Grenade ready!"

Everyone in the room hurriedly looked for cover, but was there any decent cover here? Everyone could only turn the conference table over, but this conference table was not thick, nor was it made of metal. It was made of thin wood, and even a grenade might not be able to stop it. They placed the chairs in front of the conference table again, and several grenades were thrown in from outside the door.

These grenades are RGD-33 grenades.

During World War II, various countries used grenades to knock, pull, bite, hang, etc. At that time, grenades in each country had their own characteristics and their power was also different. Among them, the Soviet RGD-33 grenade is very weird. People who don't understand it will be pissed to death or blown up to death.

Not to mention the heavy weight of this type of grenade, the key is that the method of use is very hard-core. First, screw the grenade body and the wooden handle together, and then put the detonator on the body alone. To use it, the grenade and the wooden handle should be clockwise. Twist it, expose the mouth of the detonator, and then put the detonator in. At this time, the grenade is already in a ready state, and then throw it hard, using the force of the Soviet soldier's throw to fire the detonator firing pin, and then 5 seconds have passed. See if it explodes. Normally it does. The performance of this grenade is indeed random. But when the Soviet soldiers throw out the grenade and it doesn't explode, the German soldiers often pick it up again and throw it out hard. At this time, the grenade is 100% It will explode, or the grenade has not exploded but is already in a ready state. It will explode suddenly if it is accidentally kicked by a German soldier. Therefore, the use of Soviet grenades requires a certain period of training to allow the Soviet soldiers to have a certain level of proficiency. To master the skills of using this grenade.

Therefore, after the more advanced F-1 grenade was put into mass production, the production and use of this grenade was gradually stopped.

Now the soldiers outside the door threw in five or six grenades. It may be that the force of the throw at close range failed to make the detonator strike. None of these five or six grenades exploded. They just rolled down to the conference table and lay quietly. With.
