Chapter 1534 Another Direction

The entire North Army Group, although not as large as the Central Army and the South Army, is definitely a huge army. In the past few days, the 18th Army, which belongs to the North Army Group, has secretly advanced. .

Compared with other armored divisions, the 18th Army is almost all infantry. Of course, in this era, Germany has comprehensively promoted the construction of mechanized infantry divisions. Germany's strong industrial production capacity makes it easy for its own army. Equipped with a sufficient number of infantry fighting vehicles.

The main force of the 18th Army is infantry fighting vehicles, and there are a small number of armored battalions.

Now, with the armored battalion at the lead, the infantry fighting vehicles behind, the huge army, crossing the Volga from the east, routed the negligibly small defenders on the bridge, and then drove straight in.

The Soviet army was so scarce that they did not have enough reserves, and the 18th Army was like a red-hot branding iron inserted into the cheese, and it went through at once.

"Go forward, accelerate forward." In an armored command vehicle, the commander of the 18th Army, Georg von Küchler, looked at the city ahead with his binoculars, and shouted loudly: "All resistance is Eliminate it, as long as anyone dares to resist, immediately destroy it!"

This is already an experience, and a woman's kindness will only put herself in the most dangerous situation.

The Soviets are already soldiers of the whole people. Even a child of a few years old may have a grenade in his hand. Fighting on the battlefield of the Soviet Union is different from other countries in Europe. The nonsense that war has nothing to do with civilians is not valid here.

One after another, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles rushed into the urban area of ​​Kalinin. After entering the urban area, they encountered decent resistance. On the street, in a sandbag bunker, a Maxim heavy machine gun began to shoot at them. .

The bullet hit the infantry fighting vehicle with a bang, and then the 40mm tank gun on the infantry fighting vehicle opened fire violently, and the burst of 40mm high-explosive rounds sent the entire machine gun position flying in an instant.

Go ahead, keep going!

The wheels of the infantry chariot rolled forward, and on the street in front, several Soviets in workers' clothes held up Molotov cocktails.

"Da da da." The 6.8mm bullets swept past them frantically, killing these Soviets. In the face of these resistance forces, the German army was very firm, destroyed and crushed!

The resistance was too small, and the entire 18th Army's charge was too fast. They were advancing rapidly toward the center of the city and toward the headquarters of the entire Kalinin Front of the Soviet Union.

North of the city, on the banks of the river.

The bridge, which was blown up, blocked the 522nd Artillery Battalion in the north of the river. They came out of the grove and looked at the rushing river and the bombed bridge. At this time, their faces were ugly. Look at me, I look at you, with the same message in my eyes.

It can't pass, the German armored troops are behind again, what should we do at such a time?

Rush up and fight the Germans!

Put up your cannons and get ready to hit the German tanks!

The gunners of the 522nd Artillery Battalion had the will to fight to the death.

At this time, the 100th Infantry Battalion behind them also withdrew. Looking at the broken bridge here, Hayashi suddenly laughed: "Haha, haha. The Germans actually blew up the bridge. Give us one last chance! Let's set up our positions here and wait for the Germans!"

What are you afraid of? When I signed up for the army, it was with the determination to die, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, less than half a month after going to the battlefield, it would be wiped out by the Germans.

Before dying, hit a few more German tanks! However, how to play, you have to think about it!

When he retreated, he only lasted a while longer before he died. At this time, the position behind was already a sea of ​​blood.

"Boom, hum." The diesel engine roared, and a stream of black smoke came out. The tiger tank had already broken through the defense line of the Kalinin defenders. Proceed to both sides.

This is the impact tactic that Guderian and others discussed in the Libyan desert. The triangular formation is like a wedge, nailed into the opponent's defense line until a big hole is torn open. Just move to both sides, dry them in the back of the enemy, widen the width of the opening, and at the same time, a large number of infantry from behind will be able to rush up.

Soviets, surrender or die!

A Soviet soldier stood up bravely, holding a bundle of smoking grenades, but unfortunately before they were thrown out, countless blood holes appeared in his body, his body trembled and fell backwards.

"Boom!" In the huge explosion, his entire body turned into pieces of minced meat.

"Buzz, buzz." The infantry fighting vehicle also rushed up.

It is impossible for any armored division to be all tanks. Tanks are only used to impact enemy positions. Behind the tanks are infantrymen. Historically, Germany used a half-track chassis, even with open openings on it. Although it was convenient for soldiers to shoot, it could only provide limited protection.

The emergence of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles allows soldiers to charge calmly in tanks without worrying about enemy machine gun bullets. However, due to the inherent defects of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, their off-road capabilities in complex terrain are not as good as tracked ones.

Therefore, Germany has begun to develop tracked infantry fighting vehicles. The cost is higher and the consumption is also large. This tracked infantry fighting vehicle is given priority to the elite troops. Combat troops of infantry fighting vehicles.

One after another, tracked combat vehicles charged forward, and before reaching the trenches, they stopped.

A well-known fighter of the Skeleton Division charged forward with a 6.8mm assault rifle, and the guns in their hands were also firing continuously.

"Da da da."

"Da da."

As long as there are still living Soviet soldiers, it is a shuttle. At this time, it is the fastest rate of fire. In the trench warfare of World War I, the submachine gun became the favorite of the soldiers, that is, the rate of fire is high.

A soldier of the Skeleton Division ran forward with his gun in hand. His bullets had already swept several Soviets down. Just as he stepped over the Soviet corpse, he suddenly stretched out. A hand came out and grabbed his boot.

Under the corpses of several Soviet soldiers, there is still a living one. If this guy pretends to be dead here, it will be fine, and now he is still fighting.

The soldiers of the Skeleton Division immediately waved their hands, turned their guns around, and pulled the trigger towards this guy.

"Crack!" The firing pin hit the primer, but there was no gunshot. At this critical moment, a dud appeared.

Then, the soldiers of the Skeleton Division stabbed the muzzle down, and the sharp bayonet in front plunged into the back of the Soviet soldier.

"Pfft!" The moment he pulled out the bayonet, blood spattered half of his leg, and the Soviet soldier's hand still didn't let go. Green smoke.
