One Thousand Eighty Festival

On the position of the German Wehrmacht, a soldier with a rifle is aiming and shooting. `He looked at the Soviet Red Army rushing up densely on the opposite side, and the shock in his heart was hard to add. The opponent desperately wanted to get close to the German position, but was knocked down one by one by the dense German bullets.

"There are too many of them, and our fire suppression can't repel them for a while." A German soldier knelt on the ground, leaning on the trench and reporting loudly to his commander, while in front of him, the company Beside the radio station, the company commander and several non-commissioned officers were also kneeling on one knee.

The company commander was holding the microphone of the radio, requesting fire support from the regiment headquarters: "Sir, the enemy army is exposed in the wilderness, infantry, requesting cover-type artillery support. About one meter in front of our army position, yes, yes, About a regiment of soldiers."

"Sir! Look!" A soldier lying on the trench who had just emptied his bullets turned around and shouted loudly, "They released some hounds and ran around the position."

"Hounds? What are you doing?" The German military officer struggled to stand up, then lay down on the edge of the trench, squinting his eyes and looking at the chaotic battlefield. Among the corpses of soldiers on both sides, there were indeed some hounds running fast. , looking for something everywhere. The German company commander had never seen such a situation before, so he could only retract his head and gave an order to the nearby German army to continue firing: "Organize the firepower and kill those hounds! I don't know what it is, But it must be eliminated."

"Damn! Who can hit that kind of thing!" A German soldier emptied the last bullet in the clip, and then retracted into the trench while holding his helmet, while stuffing the new clip into the Mauser 98k While looking at the bomb bay of the rifle, he complained loudly: "The speed of these dogs is too fast, and they are covered by the Soviets."

"Boom!" A German Leopard assault gun fired violently, and the shell exploded into a flower of flames among the Soviet crowd. The nearby Soviet soldiers fell down in blood, and more soldiers passed the explosion. keep going. `And on the side of this German assault gun running across the battlefield, a hound is about to get under the tank.

However, when adjusting the posture, the dog was hit by a German bullet. It whimpered and struggled, but it still couldn't stand up again. As a result, the German assault gun passed by far away from it, but it could not send the bombs on its body to the bottom of the tank.

"Boom!" The bomb on this dog finally exploded. The current Soviet Union doesn't have much time to study things like magnetic bombs. These dogs are carrying ordinary time-delayed bombs, and when the time comes, they will All of a sudden it exploded.

The hound named Berner rushed to the side of the flamboyant German assault gun. Without adjusting its posture, it just rushed under the wheels of the tank. Because of the rolling track, its hind legs were crushed into pieces. A mangled state, but its whole body,

They have all entered under the German assault guns.

"Boom!" There was another loud bang, and the hound named Berner disappeared into the world with the explosion of the bomb on his body. It didn't even leave a piece of meat. The road wheel of the assault gun broke and flew to the distance, and the track on one side also broke, and slid down in front of the road wheel as the tank advanced.

The German soldiers were shocked by such a sudden explosion. They saw a dozen hounds running around, and finally saw a hound blowing up their friendly assault gun. They don't know how many such hounds the Soviets still have, and they don't know whether such dog bombs will rush to their infantry positions.

"Shoot those dogs! Shoot! Don't let those dogs get close!" Some German soldiers yelled hysterically from an unknown corner. Following his shout, a dog exploded on the ground, setting off a riot. thick smoke. ‘It was positioned in an open field between the two armies so there were no casualties.

Then these time-delayed bombs, one after another, exploded into clusters of gorgeous fireworks before finding their targets. And when these explosions were not completely submerged in the gunfire, the covering support of the German artillery arrived.

The 75mm caliber field artillery directly under the regiment smashed more than a dozen shells directly on the Soviet position. A series of explosions suppressed the German army in the empty field. These shells completely dispersed the Soviet army. They cried and retreated. Abandon the companions who are still screaming on the ground.

"Phew!" Looking at the routed Soviet army on the opposite side, the German soldiers let out a long sigh of relief. They survived again, and continued to live on in this war, and then spent one hellish day after another. night. Most of them retreated into the trenches with their guns in their hands, and then began to smoke or close their eyes to rest.

Several German troops were ordered to retreat from the position and go to the rear battalion headquarters to receive supplementary ammunition and other supplies. After one battle is over, another battle usually does not follow, because the enemy on the opposite side also needs to rest and adjust their deployment. . A few soldiers squatted in the corner and began to talk about the hound bomb they encountered today, with expressions of regret on their faces from time to time.

"If I am asked to tie my pet dog to a bomb, I will not agree." A German soldier shook his head regretfully: "If I do this, my mother may also tie a bomb to me and throw it out." .”

"Hahaha." The surrounding soldiers laughed with their mouths open. Their lips were all dry and cracked, their faces were blackened by the smoke, but their teeth were still white. These soldiers enjoyed the short time when the fighting stopped. After all, only those who have experienced the flames of war know the value of peace.

A soldier bent over and walked straight from the far end of the trench. He came to the position of the company headquarters, then leaned against the pit wall, and conveyed the order from the battalion headquarters to the company commander: "Orders from the division headquarters, 2 After half an hour, the regiment will replace the 1st regiment, which has lost more, and defend this position. Your company will retreat, go to the rear to rest and replenish the lost soldiers."

"Obey! This is definitely very good news for us." The German company commander patted the shoulder of the orderly with a smile, then pointed to the nearby area and said: "So, we still have to stay in the position One last meal? And then leave this damn place?"

The signal soldier nodded, and then pointed to the direction behind: "It seems so, sir. After all, the 2nd regiment has the right to have a big meal before going to the battlefield. I have to inform the 3rd on your left Lien, so I won't rest here, I wish you good luck."

Soon there was a whole company of soldiers to replace the German soldiers on this position. When this company came out, it had a total of 135 soldiers, and when it left this position, there were only 84 soldiers left. They were glad that they finally made it to the time to leave the front line. After seeing the barracks behind them, their sentimental expressions turned into bursts of shouts and laughter.

"My God! Long live Yuan!" A soldier saw a row of shower rooms with partitions, and immediately grinned: "God bless, we haven't bathed in a month, right? We can take a hot bath , having a warm dinner is really good news."

"You're excited now? They give you a chance to take a bath and eat hot food, which means you will serve at the front for at least another month." A veteran holds his weapon with a numb look on his face. Walking past the pretty good field facilities, he said coldly.

Being ridiculed by someone he didn't know very well immediately made this cheering young soldier a little embarrassed, so he frowned and raised his hands: "Hey, my name is Hans Bratt. No matter what, you should Can you wash off the mud yourself and be happier?"

"I said, Hans Bratt, right?" The old soldier stopped, then turned to look at the young soldier: "My name is Hans, too, Hans Wenger. Last September I I was ordered to fight on the front line, and my company commander told me that if I fight hard, I can go home for Christmas. It is now 7 months after Christmas, and I am still on the front line... What do you think I should do Do? Cheer like you and say, 'Hey! I can take a shower, that's cool!'? No, what I'm saying is: 'Hell, I'm going to take another shower at the front'. Get it?"

Although the German Wehrmacht began to implement the system of troop rotation and rest a year ago, this plan was often disrupted due to the chaos on the front line and the large number of troops. You must know that the German army has tens of thousands of regular troops, and at least one of these troops Thousands of people have not returned to their homes since the war began.

Many officers have not been able to take vacations. For example, Kluge at the front has never returned to his home. He often tells his subordinates that he is not as talented as other generals, so he has to work harder Some to make up for their own deficiencies.

Everyone knew that this was an expression of his loyalty to the Yuan behind him, and this persistence had indeed infected some other people. And as the front line became more and more stable, the German army's rear construction finally began to slowly catch up. At least in the areas that had been occupied for a long time, the German army built many barracks for the frontline troops to rest.

However, there are still tens of thousands of families who did not have a family reunion when December 25 last year came. Because at least 10,000 Wehrmacht and Waffen SS troops spent a tragic Christmas with their comrades on the front line.
