Chapter 2805 It's All Over

Converts who defend their fervent beliefs to the death and are determined to fight until the end.

The existence of these people and the words spoken by the leaders among them are not meaningless but at least give someone an impact.

The adjutant who followed Colonel Sternheim in the elevator was silent, but it was not that he had nothing to say, but he had been thinking about the words he had just heard.

Those words may seem nonsensical, but when you think about them carefully, they all make you feel self-doubt.

"Colonel"

""

The person being called, the superior officer, and the immediate superior seemed not to have listened. They kept silent postures, facing each other with their backs, and remained silent in the small and slowly ascending elevator room.

"I said Colonel, I"

"You want to talk about the Frenchman just now?"

The sudden speech interrupted the young adjutant's hesitant words and he didn't know how to continue speaking. The adjutant who was hit by the words was facing the colonel who didn't even turn his head at all, his back was still facing him. But suddenly I found that I almost didn't have the courage to admit it.

"It seems so. It should be said that his fanaticism makes you feel ashamed? Isn't that right?"

As a strong man who fought in the first half of Operation Barbarossa, Colonel Sternheim has undoubtedly seen many young people who, as young as adjutants, carry guns and go to the battlefield in the best years of their lives. .

They come and go, stop and go, and most of them never come back. Even in some worst cases, it is common to die without returning.

Secretly lamenting that it is easy for people to recall the past once they get older, Colonel Sternheim, who did not have much nostalgia for the past prosperous years, after thinking about it, he only had some simple words to say to him. The adjutant spoke.

"In order to prove that their choice is correct, they will do anything to prove it, even if they lose their lives."

"But aren't we the same? Just on different paths, even the Russians who killed us."

"This war will soon be lost and it will be over, kid."

"The future belongs to you young people, not to our old and withered bones. I firmly believe that my choice is correct, and I firmly believe that it is meaningful to work hard to survive and realize value after the war is over. Each of us will do it for our own Choose to pay the price, for better or for worse, and that French lieutenant's time is coming."

Ding--

Wow——

Along with the sound of the elevator arriving at the station, the electric fence door was automatically opened. The colonel, who had also come from this fanatical and young age and knew that it was useless to talk too much, finally left a trace of his back and walked away without looking back. .

Sora's mind went blank, and the young man, who had temporarily forgotten what he should do next, stood alone.

"I hope you can figure that out, kid."

This was the only sentence that was not expressed in language, which the young adjutant could not hear with his own ears.

Men, after all, cannot rely on the guidance of others to live their lives.

If you don't believe that you can overcome this hurdle, no amount of help will be in vain.

This is one of the truths that mankind has experienced during the thousands of years of civilization development.

In Berlin, the top of the zoo's G-type air defense tower.

The last ray of cold wind before dawn whistled from the top of this tall and towering building. The four twin-mounted 128mm anti-aircraft guns standing in the shooting positions on the four corners of the tower are probably the ones used by the German army in Berlin today. The most powerful firepower in the world.

But unfortunately, the almost zero downward shooting range and the embarrassment of no depression angle make it only a delusion to use these four 8-gun cannons to support the German battle in the city.

It must be said that at the beginning of the Battle of Berlin, these twin 128 gun groups on a total of three top G-type anti-aircraft towers in Berlin, including the Zoo anti-aircraft tower, really gave a powerful force to the early battle. support.

Through the long-range artillery support of flattening the gun barrel and reducing propellant, the heavy artillery bombardment from the top of the G-type anti-aircraft tower did cause certain troubles for the Red Army siege troops in some directions.

These heavy-duty double-mounted anti-aircraft gun groups with semi-automatic loaders are not comparable to ordinary conventional army artillery. In terms of operating principles and design concepts, they are more like naval guns.

With a sufficient team of loaders and efficient semi-automatic loaders, the eight 128-guns on just one G-type anti-aircraft tower can deliver firepower that exceeds the unit time projection of the heavy artillery battalion of the German infantry division.

Not to mention that there are not just one such high-definition air defense tower, but three.

It's not like the leading division didn't suffer disaster because of this stuff. During the initial one or two days of siege fighting, the heavy artillery shells were hit on the outer streets in the south of the city.

Malashenko initially thought it was the surviving German self-propelled artillery in the city. Of course, it cannot be said that Malashenko was completely wrong, but he was not entirely right. To be precise, it should be the 128 gun on the anti-aircraft tower, which used the minimum propellant to assist the remaining German self-propelled artillery in the city to strengthen its firepower.

But that’s all.

When the leading division tore through the defenses on the southern outskirts of the city and advanced deep into the southern part of Berlin, the 128 gun crews were unable to do anything because they were too tall and had no depression angle. I can't hit it even low.

Apart from shooting down planes, they could only watch the leader division rushing around in the city, but they could do nothing.

Recalling the reality that in the past few days, except for helping out in the first one or two days, Colonel Sterheim, who had already come to the top of the air defense tower to welcome the dawn, felt a little lost.

"Everything is normal, Colonel. There was no night air raid last night. I arranged for all the staff to rest in shifts. Now everyone here is energetic and confident to meet any aircraft that will attack in the next day."

The major in charge of command and management at the top of the air defense tower took the initiative to report.

Taking advantage of the increasingly clear light projected from the sky, Colonel Sterheim scanned the surroundings and found that everything was indeed in order, as the major said. He nodded. After thinking about it for the last time, he decided to tell the major about something that might happen.

At least, people have to be mentally prepared. Colonel Stethheim is sure that every soldier fighting on the top of this air defense tower has the right to know about this and should be respected.

"I have something to tell you, but I'm not completely sure about the leaflets that the Russians fired last night."

"You mean those leaflets? There are indeed some that fell on the top of the tower, but I ordered not to believe them."

Before going to the top of the tower, Colonel Stethheim deliberately looked at his watch and thought he had enough time, but he never expected that this artillery mechanical watch that had been with him for more than 7 years and had always been faithful and reliable would break down and be inaccurate at such a time when it should not be.

The result or the price that could not be noticed was the terrifying whistling wind that was as terrible as the collapse of the sky.

"Shock! The Russians are firing!!!"
