Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 778 The German-Soviet War (84)

"Oh? Smolensk surrendered?" The news reached the Berlin Palace, and Yannick was a little surprised. After all, this was a full month earlier than expected by the German High Command. "Where is Marshal Shaposhnikov?"

"Marshal Shaposhnikov committed suicide by swallowing a gun. Your Highness, what should we do with his body?"

"Suicide?" Yannik just nodded slightly. Marshal Shaposhnikov in the original time and space could not live long and died of illness in March 1945. Moreover, Soviet marshals are not a rare existence for Germany today. After all, two Soviet marshals have defected; now one more of him is not more, and one less of him is not less. "He is also a person who understands current affairs. Let's take care of his body and send a few prisoners of war back to Moscow." As for what Stalin will do with Poshnikov's body after it is transported back to Moscow, whether it is to bury it properly or Just throw him into the stinking ditch and ignore his business. "Publish the news of Smolensk's surrender into leaflets and distribute them in the cities of Leningrad and Stalingrad." Leningrad and Stalingrad are cities named after their leaders, and the main forces attacking the two cities are not As a result, the progress of the German street fighting troops was somewhat slow, but they had no plans to break away from the High Command. "The street fighting troops in Smolensk will rest for half a month. After half a month, they will be divided into Leningrad and Stalingrad to resolve the fighting there as soon as possible!"

"yes!"

At this time, fierce fighting was still continuing in Stalingrad.

"Grenade!" Looking at the bunker opposite that was constantly spraying flames, the German officer leading the team ordered loudly. "Cover the bomb! Prepare with an iron fist!" Although he was a German officer, he shouted in Russian, and the soldiers under his command were all Russians. They belonged to the Russian Liberation Army.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers of the Liberation Army raised their weapons one after another and pulled the trigger at the bunker. The shooting hole of the bunker was instantly covered by a white smoke. Several soldiers took out RGD-33 wooden handle grenades and fired them with force. Thrown out, these grenades drew a beautiful fox fairy line in the air and landed on the ground not far from the machine gun bunker.

Because the size of the Russian Liberation Army was rapidly expanding, it was impossible for the German army to replace all of them with German equipment. Therefore, most of the class weapons of the Liberation Army were Mosin-Nagant rifles. However, they were fighting street battles, and the German army gave them some additional weapons in addition to Mosingana rifles. For example, a squad is equipped with an old MP-44 assault rifle, a G43, and two MP40 submachine guns. The firepower is slightly stronger than other Liberation Army units. Moreover, each platoon is assigned a soldier from the former German street fighting unit to serve as the platoon commander.

boom! boom! boom!

The shockwave from the grenade explosion caused a brief lull in the bunker's fire. Taking this opportunity, two Liberation Army soldiers with iron fists leaned out half of their bodies, aimed at the target and pressed the trigger of the rocket.

call out! call out!

Two huge rockets dragged white smoke and quickly rushed towards their target. With two huge explosions, the bunker that was so arrogant just now was instantly blown into the sky.

"Continue the attack!" The Liberation Army soldiers quickly rushed to the other end of the street. Another hidden machine gun fire point of the Soviet army suddenly opened fire, instantly knocking over several Liberation Army soldiers. The rest could only hide in two places on the street in embarrassment. .

At this time, a "Grizzly" assault gun and a "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun slowly approached here, followed by a large number of infantry. The leader's "Grizzly Bear" assault gun blew away the machine gun fire point with one shot, but when it continued to move forward and rushed out of the street corner, it was hit head-on with a thud. The gunfire was so powerful that it directly shattered the 20mm homogeneous steel plate additional armor hanging on the outside. The assault gun could only retreat in embarrassment.

"Damn, it must be ZIS-2." Looking at the fist-sized hole dented in the armor of the assault gun, the Liberation Army soldier driving the assault gun looked a little ugly. If there was no additional armor to block it, they would have gone to see God by now.

The ZIS-2 he was talking about was the Soviet ZIS-2 57mm anti-tank gun.

Very early before World War II, the Soviet Union began to develop heavy tanks. Moreover, they wishfully believed that Germany had also begun to develop its own heavy tanks, which would be incapable of being dealt with by the Soviet Union's existing anti-tank guns. Therefore, the Soviet military asked designers in 1940 to develop an artillery that could penetrate heavy armor as soon as possible. This task was assigned, as usual, to the famous Grabin Design Bureau. For this reason, the designers of the Grabin Design Bureau suspended the design work of the 95mm divisional artillery and new tank guns, as well as the 107mm artillery improvement plan that had already begun.

After a lot of hard work, a new design plan was finally born. The Grabin Design Bureau has developed a new 57mm high-power anti-tank gun, which is designated as the F-31. It is indeed "highly powerful". The barrel length of this 57mm anti-tank gun is 71 times the caliber, while the barrel of the Soviet 2mm gun at the same time is much shorter. Therefore, the armor-piercing capability is not only much better than the 2mm, but even better than the double-caliber gun. Stronger; but the cost of manufacturing this anti-tank gun was also too high, and only a small number was produced. I didn’t expect to find one here.

After several trials, they found that the anti-tank gun was placed quite cleverly. If they charged rashly, they would simply be seeking death. Moreover, the Soviet defensive positions in this area were obviously carefully designed, covering each other and arranged just right.

"Call air support." The German commander ordered the correspondent on the side. Although they were not equipped with walkie-talkies like the main force of the German army, they still had radios, and the correspondents immediately called for support.

A few minutes later, three Stuka dive bombers arrived over them, and soldiers on the ground dropped a smoke grenade to mark their position.

Soon, the first Stuka bomber dived down. As the speed increased, the sound of the buzzer gradually turned from low to high, and finally turned into a heart-rending hell roar.

"Hey, what a nostalgic sound." The German officer couldn't help but sigh. Due to the rapid upgrading of German weapons, the Stuka bombers of the German Army Aviation have been replaced by A-1 attack aircraft, and these eliminated Stuka bombers have been handed over to the Foreign Legion for use.

"Boom!" Stuka dropped a 250-kilogram bomb, and the power of the explosion made the ground tremble.

As three Stuka bombers took turns dive-bombing and dropping bombs, a huge gap appeared in the Soviet defense line. The soldiers of the Liberation Army took the opportunity to rush forward and break through the Soviet defense line. The two sides immediately launched the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.
