When a person shouts "surrender or die" in front of a group of people In fact, Edward has experienced it many times. It's not the first time he's done such a crazy thing, and obviously he's very lucky to have succeeded in it.
This time, he is still very lucky, lucky god seems to have been watching him, when he showed his head, loudly pointed to the direction of the armored car turret, shouting "surrender or die!" That's when I say that. A bullet just hit him in the head. The bullet was only a few millimeters away from his hat. With a strong wind, it hit the hatch behind him.
"Ding!" The bullet hit the hatch and flew out. Edward didn't seem to care about the bullet that nearly killed him. He just looked coldly at the Soviet soldiers who also looked at him.
Everyone just looked at each other, as if they had forgotten that this was a battlefield where they should kill each other. As time went by, no one tried to break the balance. If they could, these desperate Soviet soldiers would prefer time to be quiet. Unfortunately, this is a battlefield after all, a place dominated by blood.
All of a sudden, four German air force stuka-2 dive bombers, loaded with bombs under their wings, flew over his armored vehicle with the roar of engines and propellers. At this moment, Edward was like a giant, looking down at the enemy who gave in to him.
There were Soviet soldiers trying to cross the river on the bridge, but these stuka-2 attack planes didn't seem to have any plans to let go of any targets. One plane pointed its nose at the pontoon and started its own land washing journey along the pontoon. Two 20 mm caliber machine guns on the wing fired wildly at a fixed distance, and the tracer bullets dashed into the river beside the pontoon, splashing a dense column of water.
Obviously, the German plane didn't want to waste the limited ammunition in the water. As the plane passed by, it adjusted its trajectory, and soon the artillery shells swept from the river to the pontoon, so the real bloody scene began.
The 20 mm caliber shells hit the pontoon, flying countless broken sawdust from the wooden bridge deck. The sawdust splashed everywhere and killed the Soviet soldiers standing around. Some shells hit the steel fixed parts of the fixed pontoon, making a clanking sound and splashing a brilliant spark. This scene started from one end of the pontoon and moved forward rapidly, All the way to the other side of the pontoon.
There are bullets flying everywhere, and there are terrible deaths everywhere. The bodies of Soviet soldiers are piled on the pontoon. Some Soviet soldiers who don't want to die on the pontoon jump into the freezing River, and are submerged in the river because of their clothes and ammunition.
Most of the Soviet soldiers couldn't swim. Their only idea of diving into the river was that they didn't want to be sieved by bullets from the German planes, but then they sank at the bottom of the dark river and floated downstream with the current. Before the screams and calls for help were over, the second stuka-2 fighter swooped down again, allowing the scene to continue on the pontoon.
It's a massacre, a bloody massacre of a group of almost unarmed people with the most effective weapons. As the third German attack plane began to fire at the bridge deck, people's wailing and begging for mercy were already very weak. Except for the corpses, there was only a trickle of blood on the whole bridge deck.
As the fourth plane dropped the huge bomb under the fuselage, it was smashing on the deck of the floating bridge, and then exploded, rolling up countless bodies and more than ten sections of the floating bridge, lifting the river and the floating bridge to tens of meters in the air. The Soviet retreat has been completely cut off.
The broken pontoon was immediately dragged downstream by the newly thawed river. Several wounded Soviet soldiers on it were frightened and yelled at what was in front of them. The fallen boards were scattered in the river, just like boats floating and sinking along the undulating river.
The advanced German attack planes didn't leave immediately. In order to destroy a floating bridge, they didn't need so many attack planes to go out at the same time. These German planes, after strafing the floating bridge, made a smart circle in the sky, and then pointed their heads at the Soviet Army on the river bank.
No pity, no slack. These airplanes can be said to be the most efficient killing weapons, especially when dealing with a group of crowded people, their attack efficiency can be described as amazing. As the bombs on the wings were dropped one by one, the Soviet soldiers gathered together and lifted into the sky.
Some soldiers were even wounded by their companions' fingers. The Soviet soldiers, who had just imagined that they could escape from the sky, are now desperate for their own situation. They are not experienced veterans, they are just new recruits who have just been called together to fight for the motherland.
They were gathered together by the conscription officers, chanted slogans casually, and were assigned to the assembly place of the recruits. After only one week of training, they went to the front line, where they saw the weapon they wanted to use, that is, the moxingan rifle that everyone was carrying.
Then these soldiers were asked to stay in place to stop the advance of the German army. However, the Soviet veterans in front of them were annihilated one by one by the German army. How long can these recruits stop the German army? Before the nervous people could see their enemy, the new order came. All the people retreated to the East Bank of the Don River to take part in the new defense. So they started a confused retreat. They didn't know why they were fighting, why they were retreating, where they were, when the enemy was coming, and how fierce the enemy was. Now they know that even veterans who have been through countless battles will have the same despair in their heart when facing such a terrible German enemy. What kind of belief should we have to face this kind of battle calmly? So, at this moment, someone remembered that there was a chance to live in front of him. This opportunity was in front of him, the German sergeant who was watching them coldly from the turret of the armored car. The words he had just called were still in his ears, as if they were sweet fairy sounds: "surrender, or die." Yes! Surrender or die! Surrender, you don't have to use this hypothetical word, do you? A Soviet soldier who was facing the German armored car dropped his weapon and left the moshinagan rifle in the soil under his feet. With a clatter, he woke up the Soviet soldiers who were still in a daze“ We surrender! We surrender As if the rifles in their hands were burning and their palms were burning, they dropped their weapons. The voice of surrender came one after another. It was as fluent and skillful as the voice of ulah in the charge. The heroes who are willing to fight for the motherland to the last moment are the same as those who are willing to take refuge in the enemy and harm their own nation. More people just live in a muddle, even though they are humble and humiliated, but they still have no choice but to live. On the road, a German motorcycle drove into the battlefield. After waiting for Sergeant Edward's armored car for a long time, they finally decided to go to the battlefield to have a look. They could see more clearly in the distance that hundreds of Soviet soldiers were throwing away their weapons and raising their hands to a German armored car on the Bank of the exploding river“ national flag! Spread out the flag! Let the air force see it Edward told his men at his feet, "hurry up! I want to catch more prisoners! " He jumped out of his armored car and watched with a smile as more and more Soviet soldiers raised their arms, like branches in the woods. A huge German flag was launched in the wind, and the Soviets were in a hurry to help the German enemy spread the banner. Countless Soviet prisoners wanted to get under the German flag, but more people couldn't get in, so they had to gather next to the German flag. Sadly, on the land of the Soviet Union, the flag of the Soviet Union has been unable to protect its own people. On the contrary, those who want to live are trying their best to get close to the flag of the enemy. As expected, the German planes stopped attacking. Four German attack planes circled over the crowd like death. The pontoon had been destroyed. The river was quiet again. The resistance of the Soviet Union had stopped. The gunfire was scattered gradually. The whole scene was much quieter than when the Soviet Union just crossed the river. Soon the German tanks appeared on the road, and then a team of grenadiers came to consolidate their position. They looked at thousands of prisoners, came to smile and shook hands with sergeant Edward, who was smoking. Compared with the previous battles, this operation into the Don river is much simpler. The German army began to deploy temporary defensive positions along the Don river, and the Soviet Army on the other side didn't seem to want to bombard and make trouble. After all, not everyone had the courage to bombard and expose themselves against dozens of German stuka-2 attack planes. In the headquarters of G group army, a staff officer took a report from the electromechanical man beside the radio station. Then he went to goodrian and handed the report to his superior: "general! The news just came from the front line that the forward investigation unit of the 1st Armored Division of the 1st Armored army has arrived on the West Bank of the Don river! "
