Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 38: Blood Road (End)

The German soldiers did not suffer any damage before bursting into the church door. The sudden repression of the shooting combined with the precision bombardment of the grenade destroyed the British defense's outer defense line in an instant.

This was what Caorich expected, and he was not proud of it. On the contrary, he is now regretting that he did not let the patrols carry grenades, otherwise the previous embarrassing confrontation might not even appear.

The German ** team has actually developed and equipped this light infantry fire projection system for a long time. However, due to the output, quality and other reasons of the early products, this weapon has become a small number of troops in special circumstances. Hair equipment.

As non-standard equipment, coupled with the Army’s strict regulations on the environment in which such weapons are used, only a handful of professional soldiers distributed such weapons until 1940.

But the strange thing is that in the advanced training course of the German infantry, every soldier is required to be able to use this weapon proficiently. From this point, it can be seen that the German command organization is actually very thinking about this convenient and flexible support firepower. of.

The battle in this situation is most suitable for the power of the grenade. The fifty-millimeter mortar equipped by ordinary troops cannot play a role in this combat environment due to the relationship between the curved trajectory and the range, not to mention that the patrol team dropped the small mortar in the camp to reduce the load. .

The direct shot of the grenade broke the deadlock. After all, the church was not a fortress. The masonry exterior walls and roofs could not withstand the bombardment of the grenade. The infantry lost the heavy headaches. The British machine gun firepower and the sniper shooting point were shrouded in grenades. In the exploding fireball, the lives of the British people also disappeared with the splatter of broken bricks.

Caorich immediately started the charge with the soldiers.

Caorich's commando, as a direct combat force under the head of the Intelligence Office of the Headquarters, was equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment of the German Army at that time, and also had the special envy of ordinary Army troops.

At the beginning of its formation, this unit showed its extraordinary. All the soldiers are elite selected from the best ground combat forces in the Army and Air Force. In addition to being familiar with ordinary army conventional combat, they also received a lot of unconventional combat training.

They were trained with the German Intelligence Agency's special mission training and construction of the 800th Squadron, which is the famous Brandenburg Squadron.

Although Caorich's men may not be comparable to those of armed spies in certain techniques, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Brandenburg Squadron is simply not an opponent of these professional soldiers.

In the confrontation exercise held at the end of the training, Caorich's commando took only half an hour to annihilate the army of secret saboteurs wearing military uniforms, but he lost nothing A class of people.

Before the war, many people in this commando team followed the first battalion and the second battalion of the 7th Parachute Division attached to the Air Force (they were originally directly under the German Army Command) and received special operations training in Hildesheim. , And these subjects are for the subsequent raid on Ai Ben. Prepared for Emaar fortress.

Interestingly, before Rheinhardt came to power, the relationship between this fierce armed force actually belonged to the German Defense Forces Army Logistics Management Office. This battalion armed force was attached to the 365th garrison of the General Affairs Department of the General Staff of the Landing Army. The battalion numbers are mixed in the army sequence table.

At that time, everyone regarded them literally as a group of soldiers guarding the warehouse. The upper command even the Hitler did not know that such a powerful special force existed in Germany.

Reinhardt succeeded in hiding his ace, which is one of the most lethal pieces in his hand, ready to launch a fatal blow to his "close comrades" at a critical moment.

Now that Xu Jun has taken over this legacy with ease, this young imperial ducái is very aware of the value of special forces in the war.

When he found that he had such a force in his hand, the excitement and excitement was difficult to describe in words. After carefully investigating and reviewing the personnel composition and combat effectiveness of this force, he swept the force with a swagger. It was incorporated into the ranks of the troops directly under the headquarter of the head of state, and was managed and commanded by the eyes of the newly formed site Odin.

And Xu Jun did not hesitate to issue an order to expand it at the time, and recruited young soldiers with the best conditions and qualities from the trained army recruits to add to this unit, and directly upgrade this special combat battalion to the regiment level. The size of the combat unit.

Xu Jun's original intention was to use the veteran veterans' guidance to train a batch of new blood for special forces, and quickly increase the scale and strength of the German special forces.

However, he did not expect that these recruits would be put into actual combat so quickly. The strength of this unit was not strengthened. On the contrary, due to the general lack of combat experience of the recruits, the overall combat capability was reduced a lot.

Caorich is leading such a new and old assault unit, only one-third of the whole army are veterans with strict special training, and one-third of these veterans do not have any actual combat experience or Only participated in one or two small-scale battles.

This is still true for veterans, and new recruits are even more conceivable. In the eyes of Caorich, these newcomers who have just received a special combat training can only be regarded as a group of rookies with eggshells on their buttocks. Although these soldiers can be regarded as powerful and elite compared to ordinary army soldiers, it is just a group of powerful and elite rookies.

Caorich is deeply worried about the status of the troops, but he has not felt or expressed any dissatisfaction with Xu Jun's hasty decision.

Caorich's loyalty to Rheinhardt is unquestionable. From the day this unit was established, the fate of him and his comrades-in-arms was closely linked to the high three-headed dog.

And the fierce three-headed dog did not disappoint these brave and loyal soldiers. Not only did they establish a dazzling merit in just a few months, but they successfully climbed to the top of the empire’s power and became a master. All the people of German destiny.

Jack, the former Reinhardt also knew that the troops had to go through actual combat to have real combat effectiveness. He used various means to secretly put this army into the battlefield.

They are usually platoon-level squad operations, and in order to avoid people’s eyes and ears, they usually only wear uniforms of Air Force paratroopers or SS special forces.

They gained a lot of valuable combat experience in those secret operations, and also suffered considerable losses, and because of the special status of their troops, those records and merits that should belong to them can only be hung on the heads of others. This makes those soldiers often feel a little depressed.

But with the support of all beliefs for Germany, the officers and soldiers chose to endure silently. They believed that one day, they would be rewarded for everything they did.

So, when they learned that they were transferred to the headquarter of the head of state and received direct command from the head of empire, everyone rushed to the largest tavern outside the barracks for a night.

They feel that all their previous efforts have finally paid off, and they are much more than they expected. The head of state directly under the troops means that their value has been affirmed by the head of empire and the entire German Wehrmacht. Walking into the sun and accepting the glory they deserve, every soldier officer vowed to do his loyalty to their great head.

After accepting this mission, Caorich carried out combat deployment with the attitude that he could accumulate the most actual combat experience the troops lacked.

But when he learned that the British elite commando was ambushed, he gave up his previous idea of ​​easily solving the battle.

Although on the surface he has always displayed a disdainful attitude towards the British special forces in front of the soldiers, he dare not underestimate those British counterparts from the bottom of his heart.

Before that, he had never known of the existence of the British special forces, but he foresaw that this force would not be a simple role. Now it seems that his judgment and worries are justified.

An ambush operation of such precise deployment mobilized the forces and firepower that absolutely overwhelmed the enemy, and even allowed a small group of enemies to break through.

And a platoon patrol could not clear up the collapse of the British army hiding in a lonely church. Although there are various reasons, Caorich was very disappointed with the current performance of this unit.

If the platoon was made up of the earliest veterans, even if there were no weapons like rifle grenade, the farce would have long since ended, and it would never get to this level anyway.

Looking at the young soldiers who died in battle, Caorich felt extremely sorry. Although these soldiers had no experience, they should be able to easily deal with any conventional battle between the troops with the kind of training they received.

But they didn't expect that they would encounter such a powerful enemy in their first battle. The path of merit and glory that these young soldiers dreamed of was forcibly cut off at the beginning, which made people feel cruel of fate.

When the commando rushed to the gate, Caorich originally thought that he would be stubbornly resisted by the British. He had already prepared for the dense bullets like hail.

However, when the Germans kicked the door and rushed into the church, they found that only three or four British soldiers were hiding behind the altar in a mess and panic shot at the German commandos who had rushed into the door, and the deviation from the target was very different. Outrageous.

The British have reached the end of the crossbow, and it seems that they are close to collapse. After reaching this conclusion, the German commandos skillfully relied on those neatly arranged oak benches to alternately cover approaching the altar.

Before waiting for the soldiers to understand what was happening, they were splashed to the ground by a burst of bullets. They were devastated by two British machine guns from the second floor cloister.

The British set up a simple trap to attract the attention of German soldiers with a small number of soldiers. When they were ready to attack the altar, the empty hall became the ideal hunting ground for the two high-ranking Bren machine guns.

The eager German soldiers neglected the control and mastery of the battlefield environment, and the five commandos who fell into the trap suddenly became bullet-filled bodies.

The bad marksmanship of the few British soldiers suddenly became precise as the German soldiers fell to the ground. The German commando was suddenly caught under the threat of crossfire by the British. They had to hide behind the thick pillars of the church and start fighting with the two. The enemy in the direction launched a crossfire.

When the German team in the hall fell into a bitter fight, the back door battle also fiercely started, and soon fell into a white-hot state.

The soldiers from the back door squadron led a **** white-blade battle with the British commandos under the leadership of Sergeant Hafugen.

Hafgen's assault was very smooth, and he had no trouble before rushing into the corridor outside the kitchen. But in the corridor, they ran into a full-scale British commando who had been waiting for them for a long time.

After more than ten seconds of violent storm shooting, the soldiers who were too late to reload the bullets collided with their weapons in their hands.

The British Thomson had already finished the bullets. This was the first thing the Germans were thankful for. The second thing that could be thankful was that the British also threw their grenade at the same time, otherwise Fred and his men It might have been gathered in that kitchen long ago.

Now the British and Germans are all armed with 98k rifles, which is part of the mysterious arms.

In contrast, the Germans are more familiar with the use of this reliable weapon, and the more favorable point for the Germans is that the British 98k does not have a bayonet. This is due to the fact that Mauser never boxed the bayonet with the rifle. habit.

The narrow corridor was not suitable for rifle stabs, but the first impact of the German soldiers still stabbed two British commandos.

The Germans arrogantly shook the rifle with the bayonet inserted, while the British could only use a 98k short barrel frame or use a **** to fight back, often waiting for the British soldiers to hit the German soldiers with a rifle **** The face, chest and stomach have been pierced by the opponent's bayonet.

The British soon discovered that this unfair battle was developing in the direction of the Germans’ personal assassination performance, and now that they had fallen into the target, they could not afford this **** loss at all. The British soldiers decisively abandoned the rifle in their hands. They pulled out the fighting daggers they had issued.

The situation was immediately reversed, the dagger exerted its full power in a small space, and the German soldiers could not resist the British attack with the rifle at all.

As a result, the surviving Germans also abandoned their handy rifles and pulled out their respective short weapons to greet the British. From grenades to infantry spades, the battle evolved into a **** street fight.

The battle in the hall was finally ended when two British machine gunners were killed successively, and the British soldiers behind the altar also fought their king to the last breath in the explosion of two grenades.

Caorich didn't feel happy about victory at all. In order to eliminate these stubborn enemy forces, three German commandos were killed, which made him think of the tactics and training of the existing troops. He felt that a report should be written to recommend that the regiment include training in close-range indoor operations in training courses.

When Caorich led the remaining commandos around the altar to the rear of the church, the fight in the corridor outside the kitchen was finally divided.

The equally brave and strong British commandos have been annihilated by the whole army, and the person responsible for this consequence is German Chief Sergeant Hafugen.

Hafgen was squeezed by his men from the beginning of the melee. Although he took the opportunity to change the magazine for his mp38, he found that there was no chance to shoot. The corridor was full of soldiers wielding weapons and wrestling together .

Depressed Hafugen simply threw the submachine gun and pulled out the infantry **** into the battle. However, he was finally a little longer than those gangsters. He used a super weapon that everyone on the scene was not qualified to equip. His Luger pistol.

So the sergeant sergeant who successfully cheated is now carrying a blood-stained infantry shovel and a smuggling Luger pistol, proudly inspecting the dead bodies of British soldiers lying in the corridor, and his The surviving subordinates in Zhong covered the wounds of several injured comrades on the side.

Caorich ordered Fred to take several soldiers to the second floor and the attic to check the situation, search for any remaining British commandos, and then let the soldiers call Seber trembling behind the pillar that had squatted from the door since entering. Come here, but before waiting for the soldier to turn around, Father Sebel has already rushed in front of Caorich like a gust of wind.

"Mr. Captain, God, those **** robbers! Mr. Captain, you must help me get the Holy Cross back. They stole the Holy Cross. It is no longer there. It must be the **** Englishmen. Go..."

Sebel grabbed Caorich's arm and cried with a sad face, but looking at the flickering tears in his eyes, Caorich felt that this guy was really sad.

"Ah! God, blood, so much blood, so many corpses, what happened here...God..."

Sebel seemed to find the body full of corridors at this time. The French priest quickly screamed and jumped aside, crossing his chest frantically.

"This guy finally found out. I thought he didn't care."

Caorich patted the trembling priest's shoulder.

"These are the thieves who stole your Holy Cross. My soldiers have punished them for God. Let's go outside and say."

Caorich also felt that the **** smell in the corridor was too strong. Although he sometimes enjoyed the smell, he thought that it was better to leave a lot of the blood he had shed by his men.

"May God forgive them. By the way, Mr. Captain, the Holy Cross. It is gone. It was originally on the altar."

Walking into the hall, Caorich found a bench and sat down.

"I know. I haven't seen the thing you brag about for a long time since I entered the door. I think it must be taken away by the British."

"Report the sir."

Fred took Wolf and Nimitz to run down the stairs quickly, carrying a bag of things in his hand.

"We have searched. On the second floor cloister we found the bodies of seven British soldiers, two machine gunners and two snipers in the attic, and twelve British wounded in a room. All are dead. No enemy survivors were found. But I found this in another room."

Fred opened the baggage, which looked like a blanket on the outside, with a neatly folded German colonel uniform.

"What is this? Father, why do you still have a German official uniform in your church?"

"Ah, this is Colonel Rudolph's uniform. I know that sign. Since two weeks ago, he has often come to me to pray. He said he likes the scenery on the cliff behind him very much. He is a kind German officer. , A devout believer, very educated and a decent gentleman. Sometimes he brings me a few bottles of good wine to see me, sometimes he lives here."

"You also made a German colonel? Why didn't you tell me at first."

Fred asked.

"I forgot, sorry, Mr. Captain, I really forgot for a while."

Sebel answered with a frown.

"Is this the colonel who stayed here?"

"It shouldn't be. He came in this uniform every time, and he wore this uniform when he walked. I didn't see him carrying other luggage."

"Then when was the last time he got here."

"Two days ago, he stayed here for one night. The next morning I found no one in his room. I think he must have left."

"Well, I know."

Caorich frowned and looked at the uniform.

Sebel arched his back and stood aside, his eyes still glancing over the bodies of the British soldiers by the altar from time to time.

"We will move the body away soon, you can rest assured."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Captain."

Sebel squeezed out a smile.

"However, Holy Cross..."

"Fred, there are a few officers in the body."

"No, none, sir."

"Mr. Father, did you say that there are several officers among the British?"

"Yes, there seem to be four, and one of them is still injured."

"That's right, I think they must be hiding in the escape secret that Father Sebel said."

"Ah, then please send someone to chase it immediately, I am willing to lead the way, Mr. Captain, as long as I can recover the Holy Cross, I will not be worried even if it is dangerous."

"How did you become brave, Mr. Father."

Nimitz squinted at the priest.

"This is the sacred mission entrusted to me by God. God will take care of me, Mr. Ensign."

Sebel raised his chest fearlessly.

"Okay, Mr. Father, the problem now is that I can’t really pursue it now. In order to eliminate these British people, we have suffered a lot, and now there are only half a row of German soldiers left to fight, as usual. In view of the situation, only when the follow-up troops arrive can the fighting be continued.

We are not clear about the following situation. I heard from you that the terrain in the secret road is very complicated, which is very dangerous.

Fred, you and I have seen what a karst cave looks like. There will be countless hidden spots and forks. It is definitely a good place to ambush. Without adequate preparation, I will never rashly take my hand and die.

But don't worry, believe me, before dark, they will still stay in that hole and won't run away. "

Caorich took out the cigarette case from his pocket, drew a stick to his mouth, and then handed the cigarette case to Fred.

"Why didn't they run away quickly?"

Fred asked suspiciously.

"It's simple, they won't be stupid enough to appear on the empty sea during the day, it is suicide, and it is different at night."

Nimitz raised his chin proudly.

"That's right, so we still have time to prepare, and now wait for Lieutenant Stan Hall to bring the troops over."

Caorich stretched his arms vigorously, then spit out a smoke ring leisurely, and the ash gently fell on the ground covered with blood-stained boots.

"Finally, those guys were caught in the fishing net. Although the following work is as dangerous, it should not be too difficult. After all, there are only a few people left."

Caorich turned to look at the commandos who had converged the corpses of their comrades.

"Those surviving rookies should learn a lot in this battle. The journey of blood paving will never end. No one knows what is waiting for them in front. Hope to lead these soldiers to the end. .

How are you now, Warney? I miss you. . . . Caorich raised his head and slowly exhaled a smoke.
