Eight Hundred and Fifty-Eight Captures Captives

?What kind of feeling does it feel when a person shouts "surrender or die!" in front of a group of people? Edward has actually experienced it many times. It's not the first time he's done something crazy like this, and apparently he's been very lucky before.

This time he was still very lucky, and the god of luck seemed to be taking care of him all the time. When he exposed his head, pointed loudly at the direction the armored vehicle turret was pointing, and yelled "Surrender or die!" . A bullet just hit his head, and the bullet was estimated to be only a few millimeters away from his hat, and hit the hatch behind him with a gust of wind.

With a sound of "Ding!", the bullet hit the hatch and flew out. Edward didn't seem to care about the bullet that almost killed him, but just looked coldly at the Soviet soldiers who were also looking at him.

Everyone just stared at each other, seeming to have forgotten that this is a battlefield where they should kill each other. Time passed bit by bit, but no one tried to break this balanced state. If possible, these desperate Soviet soldiers would rather Time just stood still. Unfortunately, this is a battlefield after all, a place dominated by blood.

Suddenly, four Stuka II dive bombers of the Luftwaffe, loaded with bombs under their wings, flew over his armored vehicle with a huge roar of engines turning propellers. At this moment Edward seemed like a giant, looking down at the enemy who surrendered to him.

There were still Soviet soldiers on the bridge trying to cross the river, and these Stuka 2 attack aircraft did not seem to intend to let go of any target. One plane aimed its nose at the pontoon bridge and started its own flight along the pontoon bridge. Scrubbing trip. The two 20mm cannons on the wings fired wildly at a fixed distance, and the tracer bombs rushed into the river beside the pontoon bridge, splashing a dense column of water.

Obviously, the German plane didn't want to waste the limited ammunition in the water. The plane adjusted its ballistic trajectory while passing by, and soon the shells of the machine gun swept from the river to the pontoon bridge, so the truly bloody scene start playing.

The 20mm caliber shells hit the pontoon bridge, knocking out countless broken wood chips from the wooden bridge deck. The wood chips splashed around and killed the Soviet soldiers standing around. Some shells hit the steel fixing parts that fixed the pontoon bridge. There was a jingling sound, and a dazzling spark was splashed, and this scene moved forward quickly from one end of the pontoon bridge, and extended to the other side of the pontoon bridge.

Bullets were flying everywhere, and there were terrible deaths everywhere. The pontoon bridge was full of corpses of Soviet soldiers. There is ammunition, and it is flooded by the river.

Most of the Soviet soldiers could not swim, and their only thought of jumping into the river was not to be sifted by the bullets shot down by the German planes, but they then sank on the dark bottom of the river and drifted downstream with the current. Before the screams and calls for help had passed, the second Stuka 2 attack aircraft swooped down again, allowing the scene just now to continue on the pontoon.

It was a massacre, a bloody massacre with the most effective weapons against a group of people who were almost defenseless. As the third German attack plane began to shoot at the bridge, people's wailing and begging for mercy were already very weak. Apart from the corpses on the entire bridge, there was only a trickle of blood left.

As the fourth plane dropped the huge bomb under the fuselage, it just hit the deck of the pontoon bridge, and then exploded, rolling up countless corpses and a pontoon bridge of more than ten sections, and carried the river and the pontoon to Shredded at a height of tens of meters. The retreat of the Soviets has been completely cut off.

The broken pontoon bridge was immediately dragged downstream by the freshly thawed river water. Several wounded Soviet soldiers on it saw everything in front of them and screamed in panic. The fallen planks were scattered in the river water, like small boats. , along the undulating river surface, constantly floating and sinking.

The German attack planes that attacked the pontoon bridge first did not leave immediately. In order to destroy a pontoon bridge, there is no need for so many attack planes to dispatch at the same time. Aimed at the Soviet army on the river bank.

No mercy, no slack. These aircraft can be said to be the most efficient killing weapons, especially when dealing with a crowd of people, their attack efficiency can definitely be described as amazing. As the bombs mounted on the wings were dropped one after another, the gathered Soviet soldiers were immediately lifted into the sky.

Remnants of limbs and arms were scattered everywhere, and some soldiers were even injured by the fingers of their companions. The Soviet soldiers who had just imagined that they could escape from the ascension to heaven were now desperate for their situation. They are not battle-tested veterans, they are just newcomers who have just been called together to fight for their country.

They were gathered together by the conscripted officers, shouted slogans casually, and were assigned to the assembly place for recruits. After only one week of training, they went to the front line. Only when they got to the front line did they see the weapons they were going to use, that is, everyone Both carry Mosin Nagant rifles.

Then these soldiers were asked to stay in place to stop the advance of the German army, but the Soviet veterans in front of them were wiped out one by one by the German army. How long can these recruits stop the German army? Before the nervous people saw their enemy, the new order came again, and the whole group retreated to the east bank of the Don River to participate in the defense of the new line of defense.

So they started a confused retreat. They didn't know why they were fighting, they didn't know why they were retreating, they didn't know where they were, they didn't know when the enemy would come, and they didn't know how cruel the enemy was.

Now they know that even veterans who have experienced countless battles will feel the same despair deep in their hearts when facing such a terrible German enemy. What kind of faith do you need to face this kind of battle calmly?

So, at this moment, someone remembered that there was still a chance of survival in front of him. This chance was right in front of his eyes, the German sergeant who was watching them coldly from the turret of the armored vehicle. The words he yelled just now still ring in his ears, as if they were sweet fairy voices: "Surrender, or die."

yes! Surrender or die! Surrender, the hypothetical word or is not used, is it? A Soviet soldier who was facing a German armored vehicle dropped the weapon in his hand and dropped the Mosin Nagant rifle into the soil under his feet. With a loud crash, the surrounding people who were still in a daze were awakened. Soviet soldiers.

"We surrender! We surrender!" As if the rifles in their hands were burning and burning their palms, everyone dropped their weapons, and the sounds of surrender came and went, as fluent as the shout of Ulla during the charge. And skilled. The heroes who are willing to fight for the motherland to the last moment are the same as those who are willing to join the enemy and harm their own nation. There are more people who just live in a daze, even if they are humble and humiliated, they still live helplessly.

On the road, a German motorcycle followed into the battlefield, waiting for Sergeant Edward's armored vehicle for a long time, but the two in charge of covering found nothing, and finally decided to go to the battlefield to have a look. They could see more clearly from a distance. Hundreds of Soviet soldiers were throwing away their weapons and raised their hands against a German armored vehicle on the bank of the exploding river.

"National flag! Spread the flag out! Let the Air Force see it!" Edward ordered to his men at his feet: "Hurry up! I want to catch more prisoners!" He jumped out of his armored vehicle, smiled and watched more and more Many Soviet soldiers raised their arms, densely packed like branches in the woods.

A huge German flag was unfurled in the wind, and the Soviets scrambled to help the German enemies spread the swastika flag. Countless Soviet prisoners wanted to get under the German flag, but more people could not squeeze in, so they had to gather beside the German flag. The sad thing is that on the land of the Soviet Union, the Soviet flag can no longer protect its own people. On the contrary, those who want to survive are trying their best to get close to the enemy's flag.

As expected, the German planes stopped attacking. Four German attack planes hovered over the crowd like death. The pontoon bridge had been destroyed, the river had returned to tranquility, the Soviet resistance had ceased, and the gunshots gradually dispersed Go, the whole scene is much quieter than when the Soviets crossed the river just now.

Soon there were German tanks on the road, and then a group of grenadiers who came to consolidate their positions. They looked at thousands of prisoners, came over and smiled and shook hands with sergeant Edward who was smoking. Compared with the battles experienced before, this time the combat operation to advance into the Don River seemed much simpler.

The German army began to deploy temporary defensive positions along the Don River, and the Soviet army on the other side seemed to have no intention of bombarding and causing trouble. After all, not everyone had the guts. With dozens of German Stuka 2 attack aircraft covering them, Conduct shelling to expose yourself.

In the headquarters of the G Group Army, a staff officer took a report from the electromechanical operator at the radio station, then walked to Guderian's side, and handed the report to his superior for a report: "General! Front line The news just came that the forward reconnaissance unit of the 1st Armored Division of the 1st Armored Army has arrived on the west bank of the Don River!"
