Battle of the Third Reich

Pulling the bolt, the gun made a pleasant click, a golden bullet shell was thrown out of the gun barrel, and shiny metal products rolled over and dropped on the sidewalk made of granite blocks, bouncing two times After rolling down, he rolled into the drain beside the road. :.

"Reload! Cover me!" Sergeant William Xizawa shouted loudly as he twisted back into the corner.

Xizawa kneeled against the wall and sat on the sidewalk, holding a 98k rifle in one hand, and with his other hand pulled a five-round bridge clip from a leather bullet bag lying around the waist of an infantry lying on the wall. The young man's condition is a bit worse. He was shot twice near his right shoulder socket, which may have hurt his lungs, but he was still alive.

The medical staff has wrapped the wounds and injected morphine. The new hemostatic powder is very effective. The bleeding from the external wound has been stopped, but the problem of internal bleeding cannot be dealt with under such conditions at present. The paramedics performed emergency chest puncture in accordance with the methods in the latest field first aid manual to relieve the wounded pneumothorax.

Right now he can only do this step at most. The rest of the first aid must go to a professional field hospital. The medical soldier said to Nishizawa that if he could send the wounded soldier to the military hospital in time, he should be able to survive and be able to live for a long time.

The machine gunner lying on the corner opposite the street fired two long bursts of fire. The indispensable chain on the side of the muzzle of the mg34 machine gun had been dropped to the ground, and the sidewalk was sprinkled with a bright shell. The machine gunner temporarily suppressed the opponent's shooting, but the German soldiers knew that this situation could not last too long. In the previous exchanges of fire, the machine gunner had already killed four fifty rounds of drums. It was the ammunition carried by the deputy shooter. At the terrible rate of fire of the mg34 machine gun, this drum did not last long.

"The platoon leader, I took two comrades to rush over." Speaking was Corporal Fletcher, who served as the squad leader of the second squad, a brave soldier. At the same time, he is also a firm Nazi party member.

"We need heavy firepower, otherwise it will be difficult to break through the barricade, the 50mm mortar will not bite the turtle shell at all, and those guys' marksmanship is accurate. We can't attack blindly." Xizawa frowned, he put hard Five bullets pressed into the magazine, then the bridge clip was pulled out, and the thin metal piece was thrown aside.

"We still need to add ammunition, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Squadron sergeant Kundall of the squad lay flat on the ground and shot a short shot at the barricade in the distance. Then he straightened up and replaced his mp40 submachine gun with a new magazine.

Immediately, a bullet hit the position where he was lying. The copper armor wiped a clear white mark on the granite block. The bullet flew from the ground and crossed the street to shatter it. A glass hole in a butcher shop has a bullet hole on the forehead of the smiling pig on the window advertising board.

"Good marksmanship, maybe a sniper, let the machine gunner back." Kundell looked at the bullet marks on the ground behind him. He raised his hand and pushed up the brim of a steel helmet, spitting aside.

Nishizawa raised his arm and made an emergency retreat to the machine gun group on the corner of the street. The deputy shooter quickly grabbed the machine gunner's strap. Dragged the machine gunner with the mg34 back to the hidden corner of the street. Sure enough, in the next second, a bullet hit the place where the machine gunner had just laid down.

"This is even more troublesome. How long will it take for the support we need to arrive." Xizawa put the rifle against the wall and then picked up his mp40 submachine gun from the side. He opened the barrel and looked at it, then pressed Moving the magazine lock button removed the empty magazine.

"It's already on the road, two blocks away from us." The soldier responded loudly, covering his headphones.

He is carrying the latest tactical radio station distributed by the German army, which is actually the German version of Galvin’s cs radio station. This Galvin company registered a new trademark for radio equipment three years later, which is famous for later generations. Motorola.

But at this time cs is only a development plan in the United States. Even the drawings have not been worked out, the first batch of products will not be finalized until 43 years, so this excellent walkie-talkie became the original product of Telefunken. The Germans not only gave it a fug300 German equipment number. And the patent is still registered in the United States. If Motorola is not careful, then there will be a lawsuit.

German experts in electronics are no weaker than the United States. They just lack guidance. Experts from Telefunken have improved on the basis of the sketches drawn by the head of state, and all use radio components produced in Germany. Although it is a bit cumbersome compared to similar products in the United States, the appearance is also full of Germanic iron style from beginning to end, but the specific performance is not much different from the original product, and there are some unique German characteristics.

For example, the shell is stronger than the American products. The solid-eye German Bureau of Armaments believes that the first-line combatants must be strong enough, so they use steel plate panels to resist the shooting of close-range pistols, which almost means being able to carry With the grenade in hand, it might feel a little bulky to put on the soldiers of other countries, but for the tough Germanic barbarian, this is not a problem at all.

This kind of radio... more precisely is a walkie-talkie. If the conditions are good, it can make smooth voice calls with the same series of products within 5 kilometers. At the same time, it can be used with Morse code and higher-level units when equipped with the electric key. Remote contact. Suitable for the first-line command of battalion company units, with this communication equipment, the German army's troop movement will become more flexible and changeable, which strengthens the troop's emergency response capacity for emergencies, and no longer will the commander soldiers brave the bullets. The result of running out of breath is the outdated news. The commander can keep in touch with the front line, get the first-hand information in time, and respond to it immediately.

At the same time, it also produced the famous sc, which is a handheld walkie-talkie that almost became the trademark of the American soldier in the film, but it is called fug500 on the German side, because this thing has already been produced in the United States, Telefunken has I made a German enhanced version and changed it to a more rude shape. You can choose to use an extended antenna and a throat microphone. It is heavier than the American model by half a kilo, but it has one more function that can be used for melee. German soldiers generally expressed great satisfaction.

According to the normal procedures, the mechanized infantry platoon of Xizawa should be assigned to them with 500 hand-held walkie-talkies. However, due to their special missions, as a scheduled short-range street combat force, the battle environment of Xizawa platoon is complex and surrounding There are many obstacles and interferences, and the communication environment is bad, so the superior gave them the 300 type with more power.

Mechanized infantry and armored grenadiers seem to be the same arm, but they are actually very different. Although the mechanized infantry are maneuvered by vehicles, they are not limited to armored vehicles. Usually, they ride on ordinary transport trucks, and armored grenadiers mostly use half-track armored personnel carriers.

This involves their different modes of operation, and mechanized infantry are also called motorized infantry. They are essentially pure infantry in nature, and they only rely on mechanized delivery vehicles to move. After reaching the battlefield, they still have to go down. The car walked into battle. Armored Grenadiers are completely different. Whether they are marching or fighting, they must stay on armored vehicles in order to be able to keep up with the powerful armored forces off-road.

As an auxiliary to the armored forces, the grenadiers move closely with the armored forces. Usually in combat, they also ride on their respective armored vehicles and use light weapons to shoot out. They will not get off if necessary.

Therefore, this task was placed on the head of the mechanized infantry without any surprise when encountering the need to clear the remaining enemy forces in the city and conduct close combat on the street.

The mechanized infantry battalion where Xizawa was located did not participate in the raid last night. As a flanking shield, they built an enclosure around Folkestone. The development of the battle was very smooth. When the first round of dawn reflected on the roof of the farmhouse on the outskirts of Folkestone At that time, the violent gunfire throughout the night had gradually stopped, and the resistance of the British infantry division formation system had stopped.

The British squad has lost its organization, and the collapsed soldiers have fled the mountains and the wild. The German armored teaching battalion led the armored grenadiers to march towards Dover. They drove the remaining troops of the British Army towards the established area. The finishing touches are left to the German mechanized infantry battalion on the flanks.

The German infantry were divided into several groups in units of platoons, and then the area to be cleaned was divided into more than thirty blocks according to the city map obtained by the Intelligence Service. The final occupation operation was carried out in accordance with the German City Command’s latest urban combat manual.

The German Army is no stranger to street fighting. It has also tried new street fighting tactics in France, but the French’s resistance** is not strong, so it did not cause too much trouble to the Germans. According to the command of the headquarters, Xizawa's platoon was assigned to two war zones. His platoon was to search each building in these two blocks to find hidden enemies and capture or destroy them.

Originally, the Germans thought that the British forces had fleeing, and there would not be much British forces remaining in the city. They were less likely to be resisted. Perhaps they only needed to show up on the street, and the other party directly hung the flag and surrendered. As they encountered in the Low Countries. The result was unexpected by the Germans. As soon as they entered the city, they faced fierce resistance.

The Fifth and Sixth Infantry Divisions left much more troops in the city than the Germans imagined. The soldiers’ original mission was to clean up the wreckage area, collect the remaining materials and ammunition, and search and rescue the survivors. Because it was too late to work, many shifts did not return to the barracks to rest, but stayed at the ruins directly, and found some remaining buildings nearby to rest overnight.

When the Germans launched a raid at night, these troops were confused. Because they did not know what was happening, contact with their superiors was interrupted, and they did not dare to blindly exercise at night. They chose to stand by on the spot, so it was dawn. After that they stayed with the German infantry. (To be continued.)
