One Thousand One Hundred and Sixteen Bloody Battle Michael
While the German infantry was advancing frantically, the German armored forces certainly did not sit idle to watch the excitement. When two King Tiger tanks rushed into the intersection one after the other, the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns behind them also wobbled. Akira rushed across the dangerous intersection and rushed to the location of the church it was going to attack.
There are many, many bloody scenes in this world, and among so many scenes, there is definitely one where anti-aircraft guns are used to straf infantry positions. The densely packed large-caliber rapid-fire guns destroy targets like heavy machine guns. The high penetration ability provided by the super-high initial velocity allows these 20mm caliber shells to easily penetrate the wall and cause tragic damage to the people inside.
So when the German quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft guns fired directly opposite the church, the German troops seemed to have victory in their hands. With a fierce command shouted, the German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun launched a terrifying attack. Suddenly, white smoke began to fill the outer wall of the church, and cracked wall fragments were scattered everywhere, some even It splashed on the helmets of German soldiers who were already close to the church.
"Long live the Führer! Attack!" A German soldier rushed into the courtyard of the church with a rifle and a grenade that had been removed. Behind him was one German soldier after another. The church, already emitting smoke, was running fast.
When passing by a window with broken glass, the leading German soldier threw the grenade in his hand into the dark room, and only a second later, there was a huge explosion sound inside, making everyone around Only the buzzing was left in the ears of the German soldiers. However, the German soldiers who were accustomed to this kind of sound did not stop their steps. In order to minimize their exposure time, they approached the main entrance of the church in the shortest possible time.
The gate has been smashed into a sieve by a 20mm anti-aircraft gun, and the wood has been cracked due to the strong penetrating force, and the original wood texture was crushed by the huge force, leaking the original color inside. The Soviet defenders inside have been turned on their backs, and no one cares about whether the outside of the gate has fallen.
So when the German infantry opened the main door of the church with their gun butts and their own boots, what they saw was a scene of dust and ruined wooden interiors everywhere. Most of the chairs and various decorations that were originally placed in the church have become damaged garbage after being baptized by 20mm anti-aircraft guns.
In the middle of this rubbish, there are still many corpses of the Soviet Red Army mixed here and there. These poor people were hit by the ammunition or fragments that had just penetrated the wall and became corpses in the room. At this time, the Germans were not polite, and directly threw several grenades inside, and continued to wait patiently outside for the stormy waves inside the church.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of grenade explosions once again raised dust that buried all sight in the room. Under the cover of the smoke, seven or eight German soldiers rushed into the room quickly. Occupy a more favorable shooting position.
It seems that I heard the noise in the house,
It may also be that the Soviets had a premonition that their own disaster had come, and suddenly a gunshot came from the dust, and then followed by intensive shooting by troops from both sides. All kinds of weapons fired randomly, tracer bullets shuttled back and forth in the dust, and there were screams from time to time, but it seemed that most of them were from the Soviets.
Not everyone is entitled to move their headquarters away from the front line, at least not on the Soviet side. The Archangel Michael Cathedral was originally the headquarters of General Vatutin. After he moved away, such a good place will naturally be used by other low-level command organizations.
When the German troops occupied Marino, it was still the headquarters of an army of the Soviet Union. When Vatutin left, the task left to the commander of the army was "I would rather die than take a step back." So until a minute ago, the headquarters of the Soviet infantry army stationed here did not move its position.
Because it is a functional node hub, in addition to a large number of Soviet soldiers stationed here, a house behind the church is also a small field hospital, and there is a warehouse for hoarding ammunition nearby. Of course, in such an important place, the Soviets also mobilized many soldiers to strengthen the defense. Although these fortifications and troops caused trouble to the Germans, it seems that they have not been able to stop the Germans from attacking.
The Soviet army commander was originally on the second floor of this church, but at this time he, his chief of staff, guards, and other soldiers were hiding for the German army's strafing attacks through the walls. He didn't have the ability to find a high-sounding excuse to retreat his headquarters like Vatutin, so he could only use his own flesh and blood to stop the torrent of German troops' attack.
"Go upstairs! There are Soviets upstairs!" "Get ready to cover!" "The room over there! The room over there!" "Be careful of the grenades! You bastard!" At the entrance of the church, the German soldiers shouted together, Some German soldiers were struggling to find their own bunkers, while others were a little more brave and rushed into several small rooms on both sides with their weapons.
Gunshots came from these small rooms, and it was obvious that the people inside were not so friendly to the arrival of the German infantry. After the gunfire stopped, the muffled sound of corpses falling on the floor could still be heard. The German soldiers occupying favorable terrain on both sides continued to move forward, clearing the Soviet defenders from house after house.
Outside the Miguel Cathedral, German soldiers have occupied several nearby buildings. Many German troops have arranged new firepower points at suitable angles to suppress the two machine gun positions on the top of the church and some windows stick out their heads. Coming Soviet infantry. The two sides frequently fired and fought at close range. Bullets flew back and forth among several buildings, and under these bullets, on the spacious street, German soldiers ran quickly past from time to time.
Several Soviet soldiers were chased by the German troops, ran wildly, and then jumped into a huge crater recklessly, turning their heads and shooting fiercely at the German troops. It's a pity that their bullets hit the hull of an advancing assault gun tank, and it had no effect at all except for sparks.
And behind this German-modified Leopard assault gun, the German infantry is attacking the city with ease, as if to surround the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael. In the horrified eyes of these defeated Soviet defenders, some German soldiers began to climb over the outer wall of the church from the side, and outflanked the rear of the Soviet defenders in the church from behind.
"Has Comrade Commander retreated yet?" A Soviet battalion commander straightened the helmet on his head while asking his subordinates in the bomb crater. Just now his position was easily breached by German tanks, and he just ran back, even losing the radio station of his battalion headquarters.
The Soviet soldier beside him was changing the drum for his Bobosha submachine gun. While pulling the bolt, he shouted loudly to his battalion commander: "I don't know! Comrade battalion commander! I didn't see anyone coming from the church. Come out! The Germans are firing too hard! If you're not going to go back into the church, I think we'd better retreat!"
After the battalion commander finished listening, he immediately shook his head. Of course, he didn't want to go back to the church to die. Just a few seconds ago, he saw at least 10 German infantrymen jumping over the church's courtyard wall--going back at this time is simply looking for death! Since he can retreat without the radio station, he can naturally retreat without the commander. Anyway, it's just giving up something, and it's not too important.
So he tapped the helmet of the soldier who was still firing, motioning him to follow him, and then crawled out of the crater from the other direction, braving the hail of bullets flying behind him, and continued to run in the direction of his own people in a state of embarrassment . And behind them, because of the panic in the crater, there were two people who didn't see that their chief had run away. They fired and fired all the bullets, and only found out that they were "abandoned" when they reloaded.
So they also wanted to climb out of the crater, but they were hit in the back by German bullets-sometimes escaping is also a choice of luck. After all, in the hail of bullets, unless he has the skills of Rinio in the Matrix, who can guarantee that he will not be hit by those flying bullets?
In the church room, on a staircase full of corpses of Soviet soldiers, several Soviet soldiers were still firing wildly with their weapons. They are veterans from the Soviet Navy who were assigned to the infantry as the backbone. Now they have shown their tough side, at least the Soviet commanders upstairs, don't have to worry that these soldiers will abandon them to surrender or escape.
A Soviet soldier squatted back behind the bunker built by the corpses, unloaded the drum of the submachine gun that had been emptied of bullets, and then touched his pocket. Then he froze for a moment, then smiled wryly. He only had the last drum left, but it was obvious that the Germans who were about to rush up downstairs had many more bullets than he had left.
However, he skillfully stuffed the drum into the Bobosha submachine gun, then gave a loud shout resolutely, turned around and poked out his head, facing the German infantry who was about to move under the stairs, and buckled the gun that was pressed by his fingers. trigger. "Thug! Chug!" The dense gunfire echoed again, and the background was the Crucified Jesus covered in bullet holes in the hall in the distance. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
