Eight Hundred and Forty-Six Unfurled Banners

""="('')"="()">

At this time, the heavy artillery of the German army began to roar. The four towed 203mm caliber heavy howitzers newly produced by the Krupp Arsenal can be said to be the latest fire support weapons under the Krupp Artillery Weapons Production Group. The most advanced large-caliber howitzer currently produced by the German army. ..

Because of the needs of the war, and because of Krupp's repeated requests, and finally relying on the innovation of Krupp's artillery production technology, this artillery barely met the technical requirements of the German army, and was allowed to produce 100 pieces, equipped with the German Army A and E The group army is used for observation and improvement purposes.

Now, the German soldiers with heavy artillery are very happy. They are greeting the Soviet Red Army with shells to see if their opponents dare to compete with themselves in terms of firepower, range and caliber. Huge shells exploded inside the city, and another collision of steel and flames took place here.

The Soviet army knew that there was no way out, so they desperately resisted. These soldiers fired violently, and then leaned behind the door, and launched an attack on the German army who was trying to advance in the corridor. After the gun has to be put down, pull its own bolt.

A Soviet soldier rushed out from the door, holding a new-style sand submachine gun, and pulled the trigger in the direction of the German army. Intensive and continuous gunshots rang out, and the German army's firepower was temporarily suppressed. A German soldier rushing forward with a Mauser rifle was hit by a bullet fired by Kasha, and fell to the ground dead with a scream.

The German troops around Curris would not sit still. Two grenadiers with MP-44 assault rifles were at the forefront. They rushed through the corridor, covered the friendly troops behind them with dense bullet rain, and occupied another room. As a stronghold for advancement, the Soviet army fought back desperately, and some Soviet commanders even opened fire frantically with pistols.

The alternate gun battle continued. A German gunman holding a Mauser 98K rifle poked his head out, raised the rifle in his hand and fired a shot in the direction of the enemy. Then he retreated to the corner and let the enemy The bullets that hit him made dense craters at the corner where he exposed.

On the other side of the corner, the German soldiers hiding in the door of the room on the other side also opened fire, and a bullet accurately hit the Soviet soldier holding a submachine gun, and the firepower of the Soviet army was immediately reduced. . A Soviet soldier wanted to pick up the submachine gun that fell on the corridor floor, but was hit by a German bullet, twisting his body and falling unwillingly.

Compared with the German army with assault rifles and semi-automatic rifles, most of the Soviet army only held a single-shot Mosin Nagant in their hands. Obviously, the firepower density cannot be compared. The German army began to clear the Soviet soldiers room by room. When they approached the second staircase, the Soviets had obviously lost their effective organization and became panicked.

"Boom!" A Soviet officer stood at the stairs on the third floor,

After shooting down the stairs with a pistol, he aimed the gun at his head in despair. He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger. The bullet sprayed out from the gun and went straight through his head, spraying blood. On the wall, it looks like an abstract painting.

The Germans killed the last two Soviet soldiers with long guns on the stairs. After rushing to the third floor, the organized resistance of the Soviet Union completely collapsed. Some Soviet officers committed suicide in the house, some raised their hands and surrendered to the rushing German soldiers, and the situation was gradually brought under control.

"Long live the great Soviet Union!" A senior Soviet military officer waved a pistol in the corridor and fired wildly. He seemed a little crazy, and he was not shooting normally at all. Seeing that he is a high-ranking official, the German soldiers tried to capture him at the beginning, but finally gave up trying because it was too dangerous, and shot him down at the end of the corridor.

"He is the supreme commander here, and he is the commander of the front army." A captured Soviet colonel was escorted to look at the general lying on the ground, and he identified the German army with some regrets: "He died yesterday. Began to be crazy, it seems that the task has not been completed, some mental problems."

After confirming this unexpected harvest, he also killed the supreme commander of the Smolensk Front Army of the Soviet Red Army, and captured an entire command of senior officers. This attack seems to be a surefire one.

At this time, Kurlis was leading a few people to open the skylight on the roof. He unfolded the huge German flag in his backpack, and the two assistants behind him were working hard to connect the steel flagpoles in their hands together. It was a great joy that their task was almost done.

"Put it on, put this flag on!" Kuris found the edge of the flag, and aimed the opening at the longer and longer flagpole. Coulis and a few of his comrades fixed the flagpole to a place on the roof where the flag had been hung, and then threw away the rest of the flag. Soon a huge German swastika flag unfolded with the wind and turned into a slender hanging banner.

A Soviet soldier who was in a trench not far away was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw someone unfurl a national flag on the top of the house, an enemy flag. That building is the place they have been defending to the death, and now it has become the land of the enemy country!

"No! It belongs to us! It belongs to us!" The Soviet soldier pulled the bolt of the rifle in his hand, an empty cartridge case fell to his feet, and then he pushed a bullet into his gun chamber, Facing the blurred figure on the top of the building, he pulled the trigger on the rifle.

On the top of the building, Culis felt a bullet flying, and he dodged subconsciously, but the bullet still hit his body from behind him, he staggered, and then looked at the comrades facing him. Feeling himself starting to fall backwards, he stretched out his arms to grab something, but it was all in vain. In the end, his fingers brushed across the satin-like silk flag, but he couldn't catch anything.

He lay on his back, and then fell from the roof like this. The German soldiers who watched this scene were silent. The dark figure finally fell on the ground at the corner of the building, and the sound was murmured in the noisy battlefield. pitiful. But all the German soldiers who saw the massacre felt that they heard the sound, the "bang" that hit the chest.

The remaining German troops on the roof hid themselves. They completed the task of hanging the flag. There was no need to die here in vain. They simply searched for the direction of the enemy's fire, and retreated to the skylight without finding anything. The flag was still hanging there. , fluttering back and forth against the wind.

When the flag was hoisted at its highest point, the gunfire inside the building had not subsided. Just as the Soviets held their fragmented positions in the city, the Soviet soldiers in the building also tried to hold their own rooms or a certain section of corridor. From time to time, someone can still be heard shouting "Long live the motherland", but there is an incomparable despair in the words.

No one, except the family of the fallen soldier himself, seemed to grieve the death of a German soldier, or stop killing and fighting back just because a flag was hoisted on the city's commanding heights. The battle is still going on, but the German offensive has become more violent than before.

Before the Soviet soldiers who hit Kuris could cheer, the Germans' revenge came. Bullets rained down on the Soviet positions. As time went on, an assault gun unexpectedly knocked open A low wall of sandbags by the side of the road aimed its artillery at the Soviet positions.

The directional machine gun on the assault gun fired violently, pouring bullets onto the Soviet position. Several Soviet soldiers wanted to escape, but were swept down to the ground by ruthless bullets, and were instantly beaten into bloody corpses. Under the cover of assault guns, the Germans jumped out of the trenches and began to rush towards the Soviet positions. The Soviet soldier who killed Kuris was then hit by stray bullets, and died humblely in the corner of the trench, as if he had never appeared before.

"Look! Look! Our flag! Our flag is there!" A German grenadier saw the German flag unfolded on the building, and shouted excitedly to his comrades. After shouting this sentence, he I still didn't think it was enough, so I shouted again: "Great Germany! Long live!"

"Long live Greater Germany!" More people followed this sentence and began to cheer. On the commanding heights of Smolensk, the flag of Germany is now flying. This is the highest praise for all the German soldiers who attacked Smolensk . The German soldiers farther away began to sing their favorite songs, and the cheers were louder and louder.

"Long live! Long live the Führer!" In the headquarters, through the scissors gun mirror, several staff officers and generals saw their troops attacking the commanding heights of Smolensk, so in the trenches, bunkers, and even more At the far-away troop gathering place, cheers came and went one after another.

The cheers came and went, and soon spread far away. Karus looked at the cheers coming from there, turned his head and looked at Renn behind him: "Did you see it? You are not the only one who wants to do something for the head of state for Germany. Each of us has Stick to yourself, so don't feel like what you're doing has nothing to do with what we're doing."

"It seems that the cheers came from Smolensk, so Smolensk is already ours?" Ren didn't look at Karus who was talking, but looked at Smolensk. direction, whispered: "I know what you said, I have my persistence, just like you have yours."
