Chapter 758 Primal Instinct

The miserable cries echoed in the ears. The people running fast in front knew what such heart-wrenching and even more painful screams like slaughtering pigs meant, but no one dared to look back and even dared not slow down their running.

"I am not the one who died. I don't want to be the next one to be crushed into meat paste!"

Although there are different forms of expression due to different personalities and different ways of speaking, in general, this is the true portrayal of the hearts of all the German soldiers who were fleeing for their lives at this moment.

Even if the heels were only hit by the tank tracks, the people who were caught in the slaughter meat grinder would never be saved.

So far, I have never heard of anyone who was crushed by the Russians in a tank and could crawl out alive. Those Russians would ruthlessly squeeze out all the feces accumulated in your large intestine like squeezing toothpaste. If the feces squeezed out are not enough, it means that you have pooped cleanly.

The German soldiers who didn't want to be crushed were climbing up like crazy, but the German soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain were shouting at them and waving their arms.

"Disperse! Don't rush head-on, disperse!"

There is one thing that is very taboo for the defenders in defensive operations, from the ancient cold weapon formation battles to the current hot weapon position defense operations.

The defeated friendly forces must not directly attack from the front of the second reserve defense line!

Doing so will not only block the friendly forces' vision, but also disperse the friendly forces' defense formation due to the disorderly retreat and defeat, and spread the panic of failure like a plague throughout the positions.

Since ancient times, the defensive positions that were attacked head-on by the retreating friendly forces have almost always ended in failure and retreated in a swarm, or were killed by the enemy like killing chickens and dogs, with corpses everywhere and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Since ancient times, there have been very few armies that can withstand such severe tests and still win. The German army, which has never been good at defensive operations, will naturally not be stupid enough to think that they will be a special case.

The German soldiers on the top of the mountain desperately waved to their comrades to signal them to go around the position twice, but the dense crowd still rushed straight to the position in a panic, without any intention of going around the two sides of the position.

The conscientiousness of the Prussian soldiers is the glorious advantage passed down from generation to generation. At this moment, there is only one reason why these desperate German soldiers choose to ignore the order. The Russian tanks behind them are only a few meters away from their last distance!

Not to mention stopping and not moving forward, even if they go around the road and leave from both sides, they will be knocked to the ground head-on by these Russian tanks within three seconds, and then they will be strangled into bloody limbs with tracks that grind like a meat grinder.

With the screams and howls of their comrades still faintly echoing in their ears, the remaining German soldiers who were running for their lives could almost guess what would happen if they were half a beat slower.

There are many bizarre folk legends in ancient China. One legend says that if a person walking at night on a random street feels that something is wrong, he must not look back, even if he is very scared, and even if someone familiar suddenly calls your name behind you, he must not look back!

Once you look back, the ominous thing will stretch out its gloomy pale hand to drag the living into the world of the dead, and there will never be a chance to be redeemed.

Although it is a folk legend from the ancient East, in a sense it is also very suitable for the German troops who are running for their lives.

Once you look back on this desperate road on the bloody hill, the Russian steel death gods running and roaring behind you will drag you into Satan's hell with your soul. No one dares to joke with his own life to try such a move.

But for the German commander who saw everything in front of him through the telescope, the actions of these Russian steel death gods at this moment seemed so strange and wrong.

The German commander who had been fighting the Soviet army for more than a year knew it very well.

Just because the Soviet tanks were less than 20 to 30 meters away from the German infantry, the T34's powerful speed only required a foot on the accelerator to rush up at full speed and instantly crush the prey in front of them who were only concerned about escaping into pieces.

But the Russians did not do so. As if there was something wrong, the T34 tanks were sometimes slow and sometimes fast, and they stopped and started, just like patients with epilepsy instead of a powerful medium tank.

Whenever they approached the last little distance of the German infantry, those T34s would slow down and fall behind as if the disease suddenly broke out again. Only the roar of the engine, which was sometimes far and sometimes near, like the wail of the god of death, still echoed in the ears of the German army.

After falling behind for a certain distance, it rushed forward again with full throttle as if it had recovered from the disease. This process of sometimes fast and sometimes slow was repeated, which was extremely strange.

If only one T34 tank had such a situation, it might be possible to use excuses such as engine failure or transmission system problems to get away with it.

But what the German commander saw through the telescope with his naked eyes was that all the Soviet T34 tanks in the front were in this state of horror.

"This is so abnormal! Why don't these Russian tanks open fire? This distance can quickly kill all the soldiers, even with machine guns! Why are they behaving so strangely? Why is this happening?"

As highly intelligent creatures, humans always subconsciously fall into a state of thinking when they encounter problems that they cannot understand, trying to use their brains to try to find answers and solve problems.

This is one of the unique skills that human ancestors had mastered when they just came down from the trees to the ground.

People often say that being able to use tools is the most essential reason and advantage that distinguishes humans from other creatures and enables them to evolve into higher creatures, but if we explore it more deeply, why do we need to use tools? Why can we think of using tools? Being able to find, make and use tools without relying on instinct is the most essential key to the problem.

Being able to think with the brain is the greatest skill given to humans by our ancestors, and it is also the essential key to leap from bare hands to tools.

Fortunately, this German commander who relied on instinct to think subconsciously found the real answer, and an exclamation that even he himself could not believe came out immediately.
