Chapter 381: Leaving sadly

Hu Yunfeng heard Qi Yanming smile bitterly, and then said Jian Chuanwei's voice: "Captain, I really didn't expect that the Soviets looked down on us so much. They sent so many troops, and there was air force assistance in the sky."

Hu Yunfeng looked at the members of the "Snow Leopard" who died not far away. He understood that Qi Yanming on the other side of the highway bridge must have suffered a lot of casualties, but he still asked about Qi Yanming's casualties.

There are only fifty special forces members on the other side of the highway bridge, and the others are the German "Brandenburg" company. There are not as many personnel as the railway bridge. They also have to face a brigade of the Soviet 21st Motor Infrastructure Division. The pressure is even greater than that on the railway bridge. Fortunately, the terrain is similar to that on the railway bridge. Although there are many Soviet troops, they cannot be deployed.

"I don't know how many casualties the snipers sent out. 12 people were injured and 7 people were killed in battle." Qi Yanming replied.

Although the total number of casualties is not as high as that of the railway bridge, the combat losses rate on Qi Yanming has reached 40%. Hu Yunfeng was silent for a while and said, "I will urge the German aircraft and tank troops."

Hu Yunfeng handed the words to Shang Guoxin and said to Jeddah: "Send a message to Hitler and Von Manstein, telling them that if the Luftwaffe and the tank troops did not come again, we would retreat."

Even if Hu Yunfeng did not send a message, Hitler and Von Manstein were anxious. Before, Von Manstein had received a telegram from the Brandenburg, and Von Manstein's tank troops would have to arrive at three at the earliest. In order to defend two important bridges, Von Manstein immediately telegraphed the Air Force and asked the Air Force to immediately reinforce. Of course, because Hu Yunfeng and his special forces guarded the bridge, Von Manstein also immediately reported to Hitler.

The Soviet army on the railway bridge has reorganized its troops and is preparing to launch a sixth attack. However, the Soviet army seems to be not having a good time. Their tanks cannot pass, and there are many "German" snipers behind them constantly harassing them. The Soviet commanders have to send troops to clear the tanks. But those "German" snipers are as cunning as rats. In addition to shooting them out, they are also their best choice. What's more hateful is that as long as the troops guarding the tanks go out to clear the "German" snipers, the "German" holding new anti-tank weapons will emerge to attack the tanks, and the Soviet army has lost 16 grams.

Not only did the Soviet army not get through the tanks, but even the artillery was blocked and could not launch the German army to defend the railway bridge, and could only rely on mortars. However, even the mortars were a huge threat to Hu Yunfeng and the others.

The positions of the Soviet army and Hu Yunfeng and others were not far apart, and all the actions of the Soviet army were clearly visible. Of course, the Soviet army did not think about hiding and hiding, and the comparison of strength between the two sides was there.

Hu Yunfeng and everyone were ready to welcome the Soviet army's new round of attacks. At this time, the sound of a plane came from the sky. Hu Yunfeng and his people didn't think much about it and immediately fell into the bunker.

However, this time neither the Soviet army nor Hu Yunfeng expected that the German air force that Hu Yunfeng had been waiting for arrived. The German fighter jets did not need to be identified, and the Soviet targets in brown uniforms were very eye-catching. Hu Yunfeng did not attack, they wanted to delay time, and his troops were too reduced, and the Soviet army was very brave. In the face of the strafing of German fighter jets, they still stubbornly charged towards the position on the railway bridge.

There were six German aircraft coming to the railway bridge, two of which fired at the Soviet positions, and four destroyed tanks, artillery and other vehicles blocked on the highway. Two aircraft were enough for the special forces and the "Snow Leopard" special forces. The terrain was not wide, and no matter how many troops the Soviet army had, they could not be deployed. The dense formation quickly became the target of the fighter jets and the machine guns on Hu Yunfeng's side.

Two German fighter jets swept along the Soviet storm formation and soon fired to the Soviet mortar position. Without the threat or interference from shells, Hu Yunfeng, the special forces members and the members of the "Snow Leopard" fired desperately. Every Soviet army still active became their target. They focused all their anger on the bullets to avenge their dead comrades.

In the end, the Soviet army failed to resist the dense bullets and bombs in the sky, and the attacking Soviet army chose to retreat. Hu Yunfeng and everyone stopped shooting, looking at the fires and bursts of explosions on the road not far away, and the mountains of Soviet corpses in front of the position, no one was happy.

Yes, the German fighter planes flew away quickly. Although the Soviet army suffered heavy losses, the equipment blocked on the road suffered heavy losses. The Soviet army, which did not participate in the attack, suffered little casualties due to the German aircraft. They knew in their hearts that they would welcome a new round of attacks from the Soviet army.

The Soviet army's new round of attacks came faster than Hu Yunfeng imagined. Hu Yunfeng didn't know that because the German fighter jets came suddenly, the Soviet army had no preparation at all and lost almost all heavy equipment. Even the mortars that attacked the Soviet army relied on were damaged by the attacks of German fighter jets. The Soviet army now had only the advantage of numerical personnel and had lost its equipment and firepower advantages. Even the Soviet fighter jets came to support the situation soon after, they did not seize the position of the "German army".

But the Soviet army did not stop the attack, but continued to attack Hu Yunfeng and his position. After another round of attacks of the Soviet army, Hu Yunfeng felt that the pressure was much relaxed, but his troops were reduced quickly. He saw that it was already past 11 o'clock, and he finally transferred the Qiaonan Guard troops, who had not participated in the battle.

During this period, German fighter jets came many times, but the Soviet army had prepared air defense, and the German fighter jets did not cause too much damage to the Soviet army. At 11:25, the Soviet army suddenly concentrated all personnel to launch the craziest attack, and the Soviet army almost mobilized all its troops to participate in the attack. Hu Yunfeng and his subordinates blocked the Soviet army for more than ten minutes, but there were too many Soviet soldiers, and they had consumed too much ammunition in front. At this time, Hu Yunfeng and his subordinates had no ammunition.

After paying such a great price, Hu Yunfeng no longer considered retreating. Of course, even if he wanted to retreat, he could not withdraw. Hu Yunfeng threw away the mg42 in his hand, picked up the "universal" shovel beside him, and roared and rushed out.

The special forces team and the "Snow Leopard" special forces, which were only left, rushed out of the trench bunker with "universal" shovels.

Hu Yunfeng cut off half of the cheeks that were fighting against him, and suddenly several shells fell into the Soviet army behind. There was a commotion behind the Soviet army, which had fought with them just now. Hu Yunfeng looked at the south of the bridge with his own light. More than 20 German tanks had sailed onto the railway bridge, and his muzzles were marching at the Soviet positions behind him.

The Soviet army was defeated, and Hu Yunfeng threw away the "universal" shovel and sat on the ground and watched the Soviet army run away. Similarly, everyone who survived sat on the ground and waited for the German tanks to come.

"Captain." Gao Ning, who was sniping nearby, brought the sniper to the position.

None of Gao Ning and the sniper were killed, but there were only two groups of people left behind in the anti-tank rocket team following Gao Ning. Hu Yunfeng stood up and nodded and ordered: "Rescue the wounded immediately."

"Captain." Shang Guoxin, who had an arm injury, handed the Walkie-talk to Hu Yunfeng.

"Captain." Qi Yanming's voice came out of the Sword Sword. Hu Yunfeng could not hear the sound of gunfire on the Sword Sword. He understood that the battle on the Sword Sword was over.

Hu Yunfeng ordered: "Treat the wounded immediately and bring a lot of our weapons."

"Crack!" As soon as Hu Yunfeng finished speaking, the sound of a flash sounded in his ear. Hu Yunfeng gave Shang Guoxin a brief speech, turned his head and glanced at the German photographer and walked away.

Hu Yunfeng didn't know that he and Shang Guoxin, Jeddah's photo was covered in blood and exhausted, wearing a German helmet and a black mask, becoming the perfect image of the German commanders and soldiers who punished the "inferior nation" of the Soviet Union. At the same time, this photo was also selected by Hitler as a photo that promoted the heroic and good warfare of the German Aryan nation.

Because Hu Yunfeng and Shang Guo wore black masks on their hearts, which had a great shocking effect, the Allied forces tried to find and eliminate the mysterious German army to enhance the morale of Allied soldiers during World War II, but there was no result. It was not until the end of World War II that the German photographer who took this photo uncovered a mystery in the United States that plagued the Allied forces. For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar. Western and Soviet media accused Hu Yunfeng, and some media even called Hu Yunfeng a World War II war criminal and demanded that the International War Court try Hu Yunfeng.

Of course, the International War Tribunal wanted to try Hu Yunfeng under the manipulation of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, but the voice of trying Hu Yunfeng disappeared as the media and the International War Tribunal who proposed to try Hu Yunfeng were destroyed by human flesh by terrorists, and the reporters and judges of the International War Tribunal were kidnapped and skinned by armed personnel.

The German tanks did not pursue the Soviet army too far, and immediately built a bridgehead at both ends of the bridge. When the German army wanted to do it now had nothing to do with Hu Yunfeng, and Hu Yunfeng only wanted his troops. Although wars always killed people and Hu Yunfeng was very indifferent to life and death, the heavy casualties of the "Snow Leopard" special forces still made Hu Yunfeng feel heartbroken.

As Qi Yanming brought the people from the highway and bridge, casualties were quickly counted. The only special forces were Chen Sixi and Wu Yongming, and Zhou Weitao was slightly injured, but the "Snow Leopard" special forces sacrificed as many as 112 people and injured 89 people, and the combat damage rate had exceeded 70%.

Although Hu Yunfeng could not see the expressions of the special forces members and the members of the "Snow Leopard", it can be seen from their actions that everyone was very frustrated. This casualties were not only the largest casualties since Hu Yunfeng brought people to the war, but also the largest losses since the establishment of the Soviet port special forces.

Although the "Snow Leopard" was almost devastating casualties, Hu Yunfeng saw from this battle that his troops could fight hard. Of course, he also understood that special forces would never be allowed to participate in positional warfare unless they were absolutely necessary.

Hu Yunfeng quickly adjusted his mood. After dealing with the wounded, he immediately ordered the remaining personnel to find all their weapons and equipment. Lieutenant Colonel Krukberg, the commander of the 10th Armored Regiment of the 8th Armored Division of the German 8th Armored Division, who had been following him, said: "General, what can I do for you?"

Lieutenant Colonel Krukberger learned from von Manstein that the special forces that occupied the bridge were led by a general, although he had arrived here as fast as possible on the road with the 10th armored regiment. However, he felt very guilty when he saw the tragic situation on the battlefield.

Hu Yunfeng ordered him to take a deep breath and said, "I need your car to transport my sacrificed soldiers and wounded."

Lieutenant Colonel Krukberg looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "General, I brought a company of engineers. We can open a simple airport in the south of the bridge so that your sacrificed soldiers and wounded can be transported away as soon as possible."

Hearing Krukberg's words, Hu Yunfeng had a good impression of him, and he said, "Don't you keep moving forward?"

"No, my mission is to continue to hold on your behalf and protect the bridges until the large force arrives." Krukberg replied.

Hu Yunfeng agreed to Lieutenant Colonel Krukberg's proposal and reminded: "The Soviet army will likely send fighter jets, and your troops must be prepared for air defense."

Lieutenant Colonel Krukberg said that he had made preparations to the troops for air defense, and ordered the engineers to run out immediately on the south side of the bridge.

The take-off and landing of aircraft in this era did not require very high requirements for the runway as in later generations. After running out of the remote area, the German Air Force immediately sent a transport plane to help Hu Yunfeng transport personnel.

Just as Hu Yunfeng and his troops flew to Berlin, Hu Yunfeng had no idea that the two strategic bridges he had seized for the German army at such a great cost brought the German army a disaster of failure.

Hitler was ecstatic when he learned that Hu Yunfeng had captured the two bridges of Taovpils. On June 29, Hu Yunfeng left the Daugavpils Railway Bridge and began to personally intervene in the lower-level combat operations on the front line. This practice was a disaster for the German army on the Eastern Front. Hitler issued an order to Halder through General Keitel, demanding that the armored army be changed and all armored troops cross the Daugavva River behind Von Manstein. In addition, the order also provided detailed guidance on how to seize another ferry for infantry use.

According to Hitler's Operational Directive No. 21, the task of von Loeb's troops was to annihilate the enemy in the Baltic region and capture Leningrad. However, the order issued by the Army General Command did not explain the order of the above two tasks, which later led to mutual disagreement and conflict between the commanders. On June 30, Hopner, the commander of the 4th Armored Army of the German Army, arrived at the bridgehead near Daugavpils on his "torch" contact plane to consult with von Manstein. According to Manstein's later recollection, he was surprised that no one had informed Hopner about the latest order issued by Hitler.

However, even if Hu Yunfeng knew that because he led his troops to fight against the bridge of Taughwpiles, Hitler would not persuade Hitler to give up interfering in command. No matter how much he persuaded people like Chiang Kai-shek and Hitler, it would be useless to persuade him. Of course, Hu Yunfeng knew that he could not persuade him, and that Germany could not win the war in the end was not what he wanted to see, so Hitler's intervention in command of the German army had nothing to do with him.

The plane arrived in Berlin secretly, and Hitler actually went to the airport to greet him. Although he couldn't feel that Hu Yunfeng was doing well this time. Hitler met everyone and promised Hu Yunfeng that Germany would pay Hu Yunfeng 500,000 marks in this battle, and the pension would be calculated and compensated five times the Soviet port. At the same time, Hitler also awarded all people the Iron Cross.

Although Hu Yunfeng looked down on the money given by Hitler, Hitler consciously understood the rules and made Hu Yunfeng not intend to cause trouble for the German Air Force to have not provided assistance for a long time. He asked Hitler to cremate the sacrificed soldiers and take the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers back to the Soviet port by boat from Amsterdam.

This time, Hu Yunfeng went to the Soviet Union to participate in the war, but unexpectedly, he would go home at the cost of heavy losses. Everyone was not in high spirits along the way. Even the special forces players who had experienced several years of fighting remained silent. This was their first experience of this loss. Hu Yunfeng wanted to wait for the operation to capture the Far East, but the special forces players were used to their own sacrifices and adapted. He did not mobilize the emotions of the team members along the way. He believed that this experience would always be engraved in everyone's hearts.

It was already the end of July 1941 when he returned to the Soviet port. After a month of sailing at sea, the special forces and the members of the "Snow Leopard" gradually accepted the departure of their comrades. When Hu Yunfeng announced that a 300-person "Snow Leopard" commando was rebuilt on the basis of the remaining "Snow Leopard" special forces, and the "Snow Leopard" commando was directly under his command, and the "Snow Leopard" members who came back alive also completely buried their comrades in their hearts.

At this time, Hu Yunfeng was unable to hold a public funeral for the members of the sacrificed "Snow Leopard". The ashes of the members of the sacrificed "Snow Leopard" could only be preserved first, and funerals could be held for them after they were seized.

Hu Yunfeng handed over the work of reorganizing the "Snow Leopard" commando to Qi Yanming and the special forces members. Before he could even ask Sandra how to arrange Elizabeth and Margaret, Uncle Lin, who had been waiting in the port, took him away. At the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, according to Hu Yunfeng's order, Uncle Lin Ming confiscated all the assets of the Germans and restricted the entry and exit of the Germans. Although he made private explanations to German companies, technicians who assisted the Soviet port, and German advisers who helped the Soviet port train their troops, it still caused panic among the Germans.

Hitler ordered German companies to invest a lot in the Soviet port. The German influence on the industrial production of the Soviet port is self-evident and is very important. Since Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Uncle Lin has thought of various ways but cannot appease the Germans. Now Hu Yunfeng is back, but he has to rescue Hu Yunfeng, hoping that Hu Yunfeng can immediately solve the preparations to avoid affecting the capture of the Far East.
