Chapter 578 I Have Never Fought Such a Rich Battle in My Life

Wang Zhong was observing the enemy's situation. Although the enemy's heavy firepower had been killed, a large number of enemies with anti-tank weapons were still hiding in various places in the station. It was dangerous to rashly drive the tanks in from this side of the square.

However, it would be a waste of shells to use high-explosive bombs to kill the ambushed enemies one by one through the wall - the enemies were standing very scattered, and one grenade could only kill two people at most.

It seemed that there were only two solutions. One was to let the infantry rush up and fight hand-to-hand, and the second was to turn to the railway direction. The terrain in the railway direction was open and there were few obstacles, which could give full play to the firepower of the tanks.

Suddenly, a shout came from the headset.

"General, I'm here to help you!"

Wang Zhong hurriedly asked: "Report your affiliation!"

"We are the drivers of the prototype tanks. If you insist on using your old crew, we will drive the remaining two tanks to help you attack the railway station!"

Wang Zhong immediately looked from a bird's-eye view, and then saw two prototype vehicles driving along the railway northeast of the railway station, followed by an armored train and a large number of infantry.

The armored train was at the end of the armed carriage, and there was also a maintenance carriage, cranes and other equipment, a mobile tank maintenance plant.

Wang Zhong: "Very good, launch an attack from the flank immediately, and cooperate with us to launch a pincer attack!"

The Plossen people like pincer attacks the most, so let them have a taste.

When Lieutenant Colonel Hansen saw two identical steel monsters appearing in the direction of the railway, his heart and lungs almost stopped.

If the 88 guns were still there, they could still resist, but now the long-range anti-tank firepower of the entire regiment is gone, what can they fight!

Moreover, there are few buildings in the direction of the railway, all of which are flat and open. If two iron turtles lie there, no matter how many people rush over, they will die.

Not only two new iron turtles came up, but also an armored train. As soon as the quadruple 25mm anti-aircraft guns on the train appeared in the field of vision, they began to "wash" the buildings of the station crazily, "washing" the windows one by one with bullets.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen's men did not dare to show their heads at all.

The Iron Turtle on the railway fired. The 100mm large-caliber grenade flew over most of the platform and hit the closed overpass of the station, sending the machine gun group hidden inside into the sky.

The Iron Turtle on the station square was not to be outdone. It fired into the ticket hall of the station. The shock wave of the explosion shattered all the windows on the first floor of the main station.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen was racking his brains for countermeasures in this situation. As a result, the commander of the first battalion rushed into the command post and asked loudly: "What should the commander do? The enemy infantry is coming up, all of them are guards with cloaks! Most of us only have rifles, and they all have submachine guns!"

The lieutenant colonel stared at the commander of the first battalion for a few seconds and said: "Then won't you steal their submachine guns?"

At this time, the sound of the PPSh sounded, which was different from Ant's machine gun and 25mm anti-aircraft gun, and it could be distinguished at a glance.

The first battalion commander: "The enemy is coming, lieutenant colonel!"

The lieutenant colonel grabbed the battalion commander's collar: "There is no other way except to fight bravely! If you have any opinions about me, I will tell you that I will fight the enemy myself!"

After that, he loosened the collar of the first battalion commander, picked up the submachine gun, and walked out first.

The only two staff officers left in the command post were shocked: "Where are you going, commander?"

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen stood outside the door and turned his head and looked at the two people: "You don't stay here, you should fight like a tough guy now. Pick up your long guns, the motherland needs us to perform our duties."

After the infantry rushed into the station, Wang Zhong commanded the tanks to go around the railway from the side and meet up with the other two prototypes.

The three iron turtles lying on the railway looked a bit scary, especially when all the enemy's anti-tank firepower could not do anything to these three brothers.

Soon the battle of the entire station was coming to an end. Several enemies who were hiding in the house and resisting stubbornly were shot by Wang Zhong one by one with 100mm high-explosive bombs, and even the houses they were stationed in were sent to the sky.

When the gunfire subsided, the little soldier who had been informing Wang Zhong came over triumphantly with a Lieutenant Colonel Proson.

"General!" the little soldier shouted, "I caught a big official! The company commander asked me to escort him to you personally!"

Wang Zhong was also very happy: "Okay! I must remember the medal I awarded you during the battle summary!"

"Is it a gold star?" The little soldier's eyes lit up.

Wang Zhong: "Gold star is a bit difficult, but it's still okay to award a medal that's a little worse! Then you will be promoted to a private first class!"

The little soldier pouted: "No need for this, the company commander said that if I can live until next month, I should be a corporal."

Wang Zhong was originally very happy, but he was not happy after hearing this.

He looked at the young soldier and said, "Go back and tell your company commander that there was really no other way to deal with the huge casualties before, and we had to use human lives to fill the gap. I promise you that the casualty rate will be less and less in the future, and I will do my best to let everyone live to see the day of victory."

"Yes! Wait a minute, I'll tell the company commander what to do with this senior officer?"

Wang Zhong: "Do you see the armored train behind? There is a judge in a blue hat on it. You take this guy over and hand him over to the judge."

The young soldier also smiled: "Okay! Let the judge give them a good lesson!"

Plossen's 10th Army Headquarters.

General Pok frowned: "The 16th Division's defense line has been broken through?"

"Yes, the enemy has captured the train station, the armored train from New Rosk has entered the station, and some people have seen a train carrying heavy artillery passing by the house where they are stationed." The chief of staff reported with a serious face.

Admiral Bock was even more confused: "Heavy artillery? Why is the heavy artillery entering the city? Shouldn't this be setting up artillery positions outside the city?"

The chief of staff shook his head: "I don't know, maybe they think that setting up artillery positions outside the city is too easy to be attacked by our troops on the west bank across the river, so they just drove into the city."

Admiral Bock thought for a few seconds, but still couldn't understand: "Strange, too strange."

————

Lieutenant Schnett of the 541st Combat Engineer Battalion of Plossen is commanding his troops to occupy a house on St. Andrew Street. They have repelled five attacks by the Ants, and the bodies of the Ants are lying around the house.

In this rare free time, Lieutenant Schnett is calming down his subordinates one by one and boosting morale.

Suddenly, Sergeant Hans, who had been observing the enemy, shouted: "Lieutenant! Lieutenant, come quickly! Look at that!"

The lieutenant rushed to Hans's observation post and looked out the window.

He saw the Ants drove a heavy artillery onto the street, with the muzzle flat, and it seemed that they were going to use that thing to shoot horizontally.

Sergeant: "What are they going to do?"

Lieutenant: "I don't know, maybe they are going to use grenades to shoot horizontally at us? It's too risky to push precious heavy artillery to such a place. If a student in the military academy wrote something like this in the combat plan, the instructor would take his plan out separately for everyone to laugh at."

As he spoke, the Ants began to aim, and the black muzzle was aimed at the building where the lieutenant led his troops.

The lieutenant felt a chill on the back of his head, and he left the window and shouted at the same time: "Lie down!"

However, this shout was too late after all, and the earthquake caused by the explosion engulfed the lieutenant and his soldiers.

The wooden floor under his feet collapsed, and he fell from the third floor to the first floor, and then the roof and walls collapsed and pressed on him.

In less than a second, Lieutenant Schneider and his men were buried under the rubble.

Admiral Bock watched the staff officer run to the chief of staff and whisper a few words, then asked: "What happened?"

"The enemy pushed the heavy artillery within a thousand meters in front of our stronghold, and the high-explosive bombs directly destroyed many of our strongholds." The chief of staff's face was livid.

Admiral Bock: "Now we know why the enemy let heavy artillery into the city."

Just at this time, there was another flash of light at the window, and the admiral pointed to the window with his thumb: "And this flash is the enemy's damn new weapon that sent our support point to the sky. The Ants are not good at attacking, so they chose to send us and our bunkers to the sky together."

The chief of staff looked up at the mushroom cloud outside, whose brightness had suddenly decreased: "Yes. They found a simple and crude solution, just like the flooding tactics faced by the Central Army Group."

Admiral Bock shook his head repeatedly: "This is a rude nation. It is hard to imagine that a great artist like Tchaikovsky was born among them."

The chief of staff did not respond, perhaps he really did not understand art.

At this time, another staff officer came in and whispered in the chief of staff's ear.

"Just say it!" Admiral Bock said loudly.

The staff officer stopped and glanced at the chief of staff.

"Just say it." The chief of staff whispered.

Staff: "Ante's troops appeared near the railway bridge. They are advancing along the railway, leading their new tanks with red flags and tactical numbers... 422."

Admiral Pok: "So, if I don't retreat, Rokosov will shut the door behind me, right? Or did he close the door himself?"

The staff didn't dare to answer and kept looking at the chief of staff.

Chief of Staff: "Now the ice surface is passable, so I personally don't think it's necessary to be so nervous, but in this situation, before we can find a good way to deal with the enemy's two new weapons, we might as well retreat to the other side.

"There is a heavy anti-aircraft artillery regiment on the other side, equipped with 105mm heavy anti-aircraft guns, which may be able to penetrate Ante's new weapons."

Admiral Pok stared at the chief of staff: "You want me to flee from the battlefield?"

The chief of staff persuaded: "It's not considered desertion, the other side is also Yarvik, we can report to the headquarters, we are fighting for control of the city with the enemy. "

Admiral Bock came to the window, looked at the night outside, and the more obvious firelight against the night, and was silent for a long time.

The chief of staff waited for a while, and finally couldn't help saying: "General..."

Admiral Bock: "I know, order the troops to resist in an orderly manner, gradually withdraw across the river, and confront the enemy across the river. The telegram to the headquarters said that we are fighting with Rokossov for control of the city. Rokossov telegraphed that the million-strong army was unable to move on the east bank of the Sukhayaveli River!"
