One Thousand and Sixty One Begging for Bullets

?Germany's methods of dealing with the Soviet guerrillas were not clever, and could even be said to be somewhat primitive. They moved the villages deep in the mountains on a large scale, and concentrated everyone in places where they could be supervised. Then they began to use helicopters to cooperate with armored vehicles and mountain infantry to sort out the deep mountains and old forests, and shoot at all the targets they saw.

This method is inefficient and time-consuming, but the German army really has no better way to deal with these difficult guerrillas. They are more flexible than the German army in elusiveness. Except for a few mountain divisions and special forces, it is difficult for the German army to find troops that can target these scattered enemies.

Even decades later, the United States was tortured to death by North Vietnamese guerrillas on the Vietnam battlefield. In the end, the world's number one power had to leave the battlefield full of mountains and jungles with its tail between its legs. Also in Afghanistan, the powerful Soviet Union was tortured to pieces by local guerrillas, which eventually indirectly accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union.

And the German army is indeed inferior to the United States during the Gulf War in terms of equipment, and the current technical means do not allow the German army to use asymmetric warfare to torture and kill those difficult small groups of guerrillas. Because until the time when Akado traveled through, there were still no good military means against guerrilla activities in the world, so the German army at this moment could only cross the river by feeling the stones.

Fortunately, Germany has now entered the wartime system in all aspects, and the national mobilization is relatively thorough. This allows the German army to have a wider space when it suffers casualties and large-scale mobilization of troops, so it can be dealt with for the time being. Guerrilla activity seems tolerable so far.

Of course, the Germans creatively developed a set of effective tactics for destroying guerrillas on a large scale. This set of tactics is very close to the helicopter tactics used by the United States in the Vietnam War. That is to use troops to break into the encirclement and suppression, and when the guerrillas are stuck, mobilize powerful helicopters to transport more troops to assist in the battle until all the enemies are eliminated.

This set of tactics helped the German army to achieve good anti-guerrilla records in Poland and Ukraine. Now it is used to deal with the guerrillas in the Caucasus, and it seems that there is no big problem. In half a month, the German army lost a total of 24 helicopters and about 300 soldiers. However, dozens of guerrillas were successfully wiped out, and the total number of enemy troops wiped out exceeded 4,000.

At the same time, the German army sent a total of 80,000 men of all kinds to the concentration camps in Ukraine and Poland. These people became the bottom of the labor system in the concentration camps. They have to endure the exploitation of the Germans, and at the same time bear the oppression of the Ukrainians and Russians in the concentration camps.

Of course, the battle is still going on on the entire battlefield. The three fires that the new Marshal Manstein took office are far from over. At least the German army’s troops in the occupied areas to encircle and suppress the guerrillas have increased from 140,000 within half a month. To 210,000 people. The incidents of guerrilla attacks on German transport convoys in the same area were reduced to only two or three times a week due to intensive encirclement and suppression work.

Of course at the end of June,

The traffic environment of the Caucasus German army suddenly improved. On the one hand, it was because of the extraordinary achievements of Marshal Manstein in clearing the occupied areas. On the other hand, the main reason was the railway between the Baku oil field and St. Rudolf The line was repaired, and the German army concentrated its main transportation tasks on the more manageable coastal plain railway.

On the other hand, the lives of Americans are not very comfortable, because on the battlefield in the Pacific Ocean, there have been large-scale Japanese suicide planes attacking American warships. This caused a certain degree of panic to the U.S. Navy. After all, if this is a tactic that the Japanese army begins to deploy on a large scale, it will undoubtedly increase the casualties of the U.S. Navy.

Although the effect of this kind of suicide aircraft attacking warships is not very good, it can make US soldiers fall into fear. The scene where the opponent drove the plane to the battleship with an indomitable momentum, and then the plane exploded into a ball of flames was indeed shocking and terrifying enough.

Therefore, the Americans began to nervously deploy countermeasures to deal with this kind of suicide aircraft, hoping to make soldiers more brave to face this deadly attack. For a time, the entire Pacific battlefield was turbulent, and the U.S. Navy fleet was overwhelmed by these planes that were constantly dispatched to ram the U.S. warships.

An American heavy cruiser equipped with a new type of radar entered a state of total martial law because it discovered the returning patrol plane of the US aircraft carrier. All air-to-air weapons were aimed at several US military planes in the distance. They received calls from these planes, and a farce of their own people attacking their own people will be staged.

Such a crazy move by the Japanese army did relieve the pressure on the U.S. Navy to a certain extent. General Nimitz, the commander of the U.S. Navy, was forced to give up part of the attack plan because of this attack. He felt that he should wait for more U.S. aircraft carriers At that time, use a safer way to assault the islands occupied by the Japanese army.

Even so, the battle for the island that has already kicked off must continue. For example, on the island where Takemoto Taro is located, the offensive of the US Marine Corps has become more violent because of these reasons. The second line of defense, which the Japanese army was desperately defending, began to collapse bit by bit under the crazy attack of American soldiers. Because of the lack of ammunition and supplies, the Japanese army's counterattack and resistance became more and more weak.

In the past few days, Takemoto Taro saw more and more wounded and scattered troops arriving at the port where he was stationed that had been destroyed by blasting. Some of these soldiers were soldiers from the Nakamura Brigade that was originally stationed at the port, but when these people came back dejected, they were no longer as heroic as when they left, but looked defeated.

"Hey, I said, is the Nakamura Brigade finished like this?" Watching a soldier being assigned to his foxhole, Takemoto Taro asked while holding his rifle. He really wanted to know the battle situation on the front line, and he had no other way, so he could only ask the soldiers who had just returned from the breakup, but if he asked this way, he would often be yelled back by the other party.

However, the soldier who was asked seemed to be very weak in character, and he didn't have such a strong idea of ​​defending his own troops. He just leaned against the wall of the foxhole and replied dumbly: "More than 400 people gathered to charge at night, As a result, less than one tenth of the American crowd rushed into the crowd. I was in charge of the cover. I received an order to retreat when I ran out of bullets. I didn’t know the captain and more than 400 people until dawn. Only 28 of us came back alive. .”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Takemoto Taro could only comfort him in a voice he couldn't hear clearly: "Uh...you fought very bravely, and we have reported your achievements here. Nice to meet you, my name is Takemoto Taro, please take care of me in the future."

"My name is Jiro Kimura, please take care of me too." The other party was also very polite, and it could be seen that he was also a recruit who had just joined the army. The two got together as if by fate, and quietly began to talk about the current war on the island.

It turned out that when the Nakamura Brigade began to counterattack, the second line of defense of the Japanese army was already crumbling. It took a full cost of 700 people to push the US Marine Corps back from the defense line.

But these exhausted Japanese soldiers really had no ability to expand their battle results, so the front line was once again stalemate. Some trenches were still in the hands of the Americans, but the Americans didn't figure out how many reserves the Japanese defenders still had. He didn't dare to launch an attack rashly.

"Soldiers of the 3rd Squadron! Soldiers of the 3rd Squadron, gather!" An officer shouted loudly in the distance. He was unlucky to draw a lottery, so he could only take his own troops to the front line and continue to fight against the Americans. Some soldiers stood up sparsely. At this time, no one came back to cover up, and even reported deserters who couldn't stand up. After all, everyone hoped that others would go to the front line and stay in a safer place.

Dozens of soldiers carried their 38-type rifles, stood up listlessly and stood in a row, as if it was a routine, and they began to be ordered to ask for bullets from the surrounding soldiers. You need to do it yourself.

"No more! Really no more! I only have these few bullets in my rifle!" A soldier waved at his comrades who were sitting together just now. The remaining ammunition is indeed not too much. After all, everyone gave it a few times before, but after seeing more and more frequent troops being transferred back to the front line, no one is willing to contribute their bullets anymore.

After all, there is no guarantee that no one will be transferred back to the front line in the next second, so everyone is trying their best to keep their ammunition, just in case. Takemoto Taro himself also kept about 20 rounds of ammunition, which he scraped from the corpses of some engineers. It turned out that he had more than 50 rounds in total. After being scraped several times, he was unwilling to hand over any bullets.

"I just came back from the front... I don't have any bullets on me." The soldier named Kimura turned out his pocket to show the other party begging for bullets: "If we still have bullets, we won't be allowed to come back." ..."

The other party's expression seemed a little unnatural. After twisting for a long time, he nodded his head to end the conversation, turned around and walked towards another foxhole.
