Chapter 756

In the dark basement, a huge explosion fell in the distance, causing a little dust on the ceiling. The dust crackled on the wall and on the drawings piled up on the table. The light bulb hanging on the ceiling sways back and forth with the vibration, tearing the shadow of everything in the room, making the whole basement full of a sense of seeing.

Khrushchev sat in his own position, holding the tea cup in his hand in a daze. He was only less than 20 kilometers away from the front line. Every morning, he could hear the rumble of German artillery attacking here. What's more, it was getting closer and closer.

The defense system of fortresses in the crimson Peninsula, the Soviet Union, or the former tsarist Russia, has been operating continuously for nearly 30 years. The fortress system here is continuous, and tunnels and bunkers are as common as drainage ditches.

In the area with Sevastopol and Kerch as the core, several layers of reinforced concrete fortifications have been built. The mountain is covered with fort and trench, as well as continuous barbed wire and minefields. Some of these defense systems are very old, born before the first World War, and some are very new. They were hastily built after Khrushchev and voroshlov retreated to crim.

Now, these positions, like coffins, have become the final destination of the Soviet Red Army in the crim region. They fight here, they die here, and they are buried in the snow here.

The good news is that it's snowing now in Crimea. Although it's not big, it has affected the German Air Force everywhere. The sunny weather a few days ago made the Soviet Red Army lose a lot of peripheral defense positions. Now almost half of Crimea is in the hands of Manstein, which is the same as the German Air Force's extremely accurate and terrible bombing, It's inseparable.

Now light snow is blowing in the sky and the cold air from the north is descending to the south, which makes us enjoy a moment of tranquility brought by bad weather. The strong air support of the German army can not be used, so we have to fight a plane war like the first world war with the Soviet Union.

A German soldier, holding his helmet, jumps into what looks like a well constructed trench. It used to be a Soviet garrison position, but now it has become a base for German soldiers to escape the cold. At the far end of the trench, in a hidden machine gun position, a German sergeant was looking through a telescope at the Soviet Red Army position not far away.

"Company commander, there is a very wide minefield in the front. If we use engineers to attack, we will lose a lot." The scouts briefed the company commander and several platoon leaders waiting in the trench on the defense arrangement of the other party. It was obvious that this was the key defense position of the Soviet people, and the defense was very strict.

The Scout pointed to the enemy's blockhouse not far away and continued to introduce: "there are crossed machine gun positions, as well as anti tank mines and anti infantry mines to cover the front and both wings. It's not easy to do."

"It's said that the reinforcements will arrive soon. I don't know what troops they will send. If it's only infantry, I want to apply for cancellation of this attack. We need at least the cover of tanks before we dare to attack." The company commander looked at the simple map outlined by the scout on the grass paper and said with some helplessness.

After a while, their reinforcements came. They were German soldiers in a platoon, protecting a class of engineers. Their weapons were nothing special, just a flamethrower. But with these soldiers, there was also a strange tracked chariot. The turret was removed and a strange device was installed on it.

"Lieutenant! We are ordered to support your attack. Can you tell me the tactics? The people I brought with me are all elite soldiers who have fought trench warfare and can complete all kinds of tasks. "

"We are fully capable of frontal attack. Now the problem is their anti tank mines and anti infantry mines." The lieutenant pointed to the line of defense of the Soviet Union and gave a brief introduction to the situation: "the most common cross fire, heavy weapons are very few, except for mines, other things are relatively simple."

The platoon leader turned his head and took a look at the strange chariot hidden behind a parapet about 100 meters away. Then he said, "it's said that we can give this big guy the land mines. The rest is up to us."

Soon, the strange tank began to adjust its angle in the puzzled eyes of the lieutenant. The equipment similar to an engineering tank refitted from the chassis of No. 3 tank looks like an armored crane.

There is a huge winch on the rear of the whole car, which is coiled with a special belt similar to a water pipe. The engineers on it are checking the surrounding ground information repeatedly with the artillery mirror and level gauge. They are busy, making the German soldiers around dizzy. These veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for more than a year, and the recruits who have just been on the battlefield for more than ten days, don't know what these engineers are doing.

"What are they doing? So we can clear the mine? It's too much fun for such a dangerous thing as mine clearance. " A German soldier asked the company commander standing next to him that in the last fortified battle, a whole of 10 soldiers were killed in the company battle, half of them were killed in the process of demining.

The company commander can't imagine what tricks these engineers are playing. He can only look at the strange chariot and get ready bit by bit. Anyway, the attack doesn't start. At ordinary times, everyone is very bored to get together and wait for new orders. Now that there is a magic object to visit, it's better than repeating a monotonous life. So the company commander was very interested in seeing the strange chariot there. The engineers stretched out the coiled belts and stacked them loosely at their feet, trying to get away from the surrounding things. After making sure that these strange belts could spread quickly, they connected one end of the belt to the rear of the gun barrel on the strange chariot. The reason why this chariot is strange is that there are only two such cannons on this chariot, There was no armored turret to protect the two barrels“ okay! Gentlemen! Get ready to attack! But before that, you have to protect your ears Standing in the trench in the distance, the engineer captain, with a bad smile, reminded the infantry around him: "the movement of this thing is a little big, but it's very easy to use." As soon as he finished, with a command to open fire, the gun barrel connected with the belt spewed out a flame, and a rocket flew out of the gun barrel and flew rapidly toward the Soviet position. As the rocket dragged forward, the strange belt flew out. In less than a second, the tape on the ground rapidly reduced. It formed a curved line in the air, connecting the Soviet, German and Liang army positions. The end was more than ten meters in front of the German position. The top flew over the Soviet trench and landed on the other side“ My God The German company commander finally knew what these engineers were doing. They spread the detonator on the other side's position with rockets. It was a terrible way of mine clearance. When the other side didn't respond, all the mine clearance work on this side had been completed. What's more, the channel opened up was similar to a trench, which was convenient and safe, There is also simple protection on both sides. Sure enough, before everyone could recover, one after another earth shaking explosions started. The explosion continued from the German side to the Soviet side. The huge destructive force lifted up the soil, with gravel and other things flying into the sky, leaving a large hole on the ground“ Attack Holding his helmet with his hand, the first reaction of the German company commander who was shaken by the explosion when he got up from the ground was to order his soldiers to attack. Some of the veterans had already jumped out of the trench, and more soldiers followed them to the passage. The Soviets were obviously stunned by this terrible explosion. Their firepower didn't start slowly until long after the German army launched the attack. However, the cross firepower of the two wings could not hurt the German army in the trench at all. The German soldiers who attacked quickly had already entered the Soviet Army's trench, and the whole battlefield became chaotic. The gunfire became denser and denser, and the German soldiers started a cruel fight with the confused Soviet soldiers in the trenches. However, after the German army captured a delayed machine gun position of the Soviet Red Army at the cost of four soldiers, the fighting turned into a unilateral massacre. The Soviet soldiers gave up their positions and began to rout backward, while the Germans pursued and killed until they occupied all the positions and killed the last Soviet who refused to surrender. A national flag was slowly set up on the Soviet position. With a series of explosions, the latest German rocket mine clearing vehicle launched a double shot salvo this time, which immediately cleared more minefields. German tanks and other equipment arrived and began to cross the minefield. Manstein seized another Soviet military stronghold. After receiving the war report from his subordinates, general Manstein signed his name without expression. Then he handed the whole report to his adjutant and quietly ordered, "send this victory report to Berlin with my name. Let's say that this is a gift from all the M-group army to the head of state. At any time, the M-group army is on the side of the head of state! "“ Sign my name, too. " After Manstein, brauchich's son said, "all emperors and men should forget their own interests and fight for the Fuehrer!"
