When another morning came, the yellow-brown land on the northern foot of the Alps was quietly covered with a layer of silver veil. In the Mildorf city, the German officers and soldiers who were digging trenches and defending almost all night. Due to the Soviet artillery fire, they had to avoid it carefully, while trying to make the barricades stronger. After a few bites of cold bread, the infantry holding various weapons returned to their respective combat positions. Each anti-tank weapon was properly hidden in a bunker that could prevent the enemy's firepower from hitting directly in order to play a role in the hard battle behind; each reserve team was carefully assigned to a safe and capable of supporting the front line at any time, so that this line of defense could resist the Soviet offensive as long as possible.

The rain and snow stopped, and Soviet fighter jets that took off from airports in northern Bavaria and Czech Republic appeared in the horizon with murderous aura. The Soviet ground troops who had been trying to attack before the last dusk could not help but take action. In their sight, Soviet tanks that were rapidly advancing were in a very coordinated shape. The cylindrical turrets were quite modern because of their protruding gun shields and square turret rear cabins used to accommodate ammunition.

The German defense line that was bombed violently by its own air force, these rapidly-moving Soviet tanks were obviously not taken seriously. They only had a few stops to clean up the medium and short-range artillery fire. They used machine guns on the front of the vehicle body and the front of the turret to strafuse during the rapid advancement. The series of bullets hit the German positions and stirred up dust, and forced the German infantry to hide their iconic large-eared helmets under the ditches.

boom!

The German heavy anti-tank gun hidden in the house opened fire first, and the black muzzle suddenly spit out a ball of flame, and gray-white smoke rose slowly. If it weren't for the sound of this sound, people might have mistakenly thought it was the sound of popcorn. A few seconds later, the armor-piercing bomb accurately hit the Soviet tank at the forefront. It tore open the front armor on the front of the car body without hesitation, and entered the car body with the action of a delayed fuse before detonating the shell. The olive green T-34 was still moving forward rapidly due to inertia, and suddenly, its turret hatch was pushed away roughly. A large ball of flame rose into the sky and instantly swallowed the upper half of the car body. The terrifying mushroom-like smoke cloud immediately formed above the tank...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deadly shells and rockets flew out from behind buildings that were either free from bombing or semi-collapsed. Although the target was moving quickly, after a long time of aiming, more than half of the German gunners successfully hit the enemy tanks moving in a straight line. The battle scene in sight was spectacular. Some shells directly penetrated the turret armor, and then detonated the spare shells placed therein. They violently exploded ten times more powerful than the invaders to swallow the tank body and the crew inside. Some tanks looked as if they were not seriously injured, but they stopped moving forward quickly after being shot. Unusual blue smoke emerged from the crew's observation hole or the gap in the hatch!

The performance of heavy anti-tank guns is very domineering. The German ground killer - long-range guided anti-tank rockets - are not to be outdone. With many targets, their results are astonishing. In a short period of time, the Soviet army lost more than 20 tanks. The Soviet tanks that followed recklessly knocked away the wreckage of companions who had completely lost their combat capabilities, but exposed themselves to the opponent's muzzle. More Soviet tanks and self-propelled cannons slowed down. They adjusted their muzzle and fired at the position where the fired medicine smoke was fired. The shells roared.

The entire high wall collapsed due to direct artillery fire. The original intact house was completely destroyed by the explosion of internal shells, and the remaining window glasses burst into pieces in shattered. Under the violent shelling of Soviet tanks and self-propelled artillery, the German troops deployed on the outside of the city also suffered major casualties. As the bunkers were damaged and collapsed, more and more anti-tank combatants retreated into the city one by one. Seeing this, the Soviet troops who launched an attack from the front took advantage of the situation to attack the city. Their tanks and mechanized infantry quickly crossed the German trenches outside the city.

The anti-tank firepower of T-34s had just climbed up on the ruins and ambushed the city allowed them to understand the truth that "were anxious to eat hot tofu". After hunting the target, the German combat team was always able to use the terrain to quickly escape the "scene of the accident". Soviet tanks retaliated on the two- or three-story buildings, but they just pushed down one wood-stone wall after another. The angry Soviet commander drove the infantry into street fighting while calling for air force support. After only twenty minutes, several batches of Soviet bombers followed one after another.

Guided by the smoke and signal flares of the ground troops, they dropped one by one at a low altitude, and a series of aviation bombs. The city was once again shrouded in flames and smoke, and some houses were lit with raging fires. Even the church with a huge sign on the roof was not spared. However, this bombing could not destroy the German soldiers' determination to fight. They used the craters and ruins in the city to hide. Once the enemy approached, they would attack in groups. After fighting in such a stalemate for several hours, the Soviet army had lost a considerable number of soldiers. They slowly retreated from the city and adjusted their breath to wait for the arrival of the flank troops.

Just as the Soviet Central Army launched an offensive to the Mildorf city, west of Mildorf, more than a thousand soldiers affiliated with the German 1st Grenadier Regiment lurked in foxgloves or short trenches. Although this place is protected from the ravages of Soviet artillery fire, the temperature here at night has dropped to several degrees below zero. It is difficult to effectively protect the cold by the camouflage nets on the bunker and the thin blankets they carry with them. Moreover, they are also

The hardships were self-evident. Fortunately, the 22nd Flintlock Regiment, which was responsible for the defense of the left wing position of Mildorf, completed the task of restraining. The Soviet troops that broke through the German left wing defense line did not attack the main position of Mildorf overnight. It was not until dawn that the familiar Soviet tank column came along the highway. The accompanying Soviet infantry looked listless and did not look like an invincible victory division.

"Be careful with all cars, keep calm and wait until you get closer..."

Through the American Motorola Walkie-Talk, combat instructions were clearly transmitted to every pair of vigilant ears. Below the slightly raised "mountain bags", there were two-person anti-tank teams, three-person guided anti-tank rocket combat teams, and four-person jeep equipped with artillery - this was the m40 106mm recoil-free cannon that appeared very frequently in the late World War II. After being equipped with the US military, they were mainly equipped for infantry battalions and armored infantry battalions, as infantry accompanying fire as infantry fire.

Cannons are used. This kind of artillery is convenient to maneuver and has strong battlefield adaptability. It can be equipped with three types of gun mounts: m79, m92 and m149e5. It can be fixed on the ground or installed on m274 light trailers, various types of jeeps and m113 armored personnel conveyors; the types of ammunition include grenades to kill personnel and armor-breaking bombs to deal with armored targets. It can also be installed in six doors on the m50 Type Otus light tracked vehicle to form an anti-tank firepower vehicle with strong firepower.

Hundreds of German officers and soldiers were quietly hidden under the proper camouflage net. They were distributed in the fields on both sides of the road, staring ahead through the observation holes on the camouflage net. On the road, accompanied by continuous roar, dozens of T-34 tanks and various types of combat vehicles rushed towards them like a steel river.

"The various combat teams heard it clearly... concentrate firepower to attack the enemy's head and tail, and there must be intervals and order in the fire. Don't waste ammunition on the same tank at once!"

The commander's careful advice made the tension stronger. In his ears, the rumbling sound of tracks gradually approached. The German soldiers who were on standby did not rush to attack. They were like cheetahs ready to pounce on their prey at any time, waiting calmly and extremely calmly for the best time!

Teo Hilgorobe, who served in the 1st Grenadier Regiment of the German Army, just turned 19 years old and was an absolute "post-30s". Their generation of German youth grew up when the country came out of the trough and flourished, witnessed the horn of revitalizing the army and the flag of glorious expedition. The bright military appearance, flying handkerchiefs and the joy of victory left a deep impression on them, and the darkness that followed made them feel full of confusion and unwillingness. When the opportunity for the rise of the country came again, many of them resolutely embarked on the path they had taken by their predecessors - despite the difficulties and dangers and even deaths. They were determined!

After six weeks of rigorous training, Hilgorobe became a glorious grenade. The infantry squad he was in followed by ten men from the National Wehrmacht period. However, due to the strong armored forces of the Soviet army, the German army is now facing a heavy anti-tank pressure. Most grassroots troops are equipped with weapons around anti-tank tactics. The ordinary infantry squad is equipped with 1 light machine gun, 2-3 assault rifles and submachine guns, 1-2 unguided bazooka, various anti-tank grenades, ** and mooring bottles. Although the 1st Grenadier Regiment has a brilliant history, its equipment has not received special care. New recruits like Hilgorobe are often only available.

A veteran bolt rifle was fired to help veterans with more experienced soldiers. When the veterans were injured or killed, they had to bravely take over the heavy responsibility. To this end, Hilgorobe learned various weapons skills in the recruit training camp, which naturally included various Soviet weapons. In the battle to seize Mildorf from the Soviet army, the 1st Grenadier Regiment rushed to the front as the sharp knife unit of the Frederick Infantry Division. Hilgorobe also obtained a favorable trophy - the Soviet-made sks semi-automatic rifle (which can be called the most successful semi-automatic rifle in history, firing 7.62×39 mm of power bullets in the middle. It was widely equipped and imitated in the Soviet camp).

Seeing that the enemy's vanguard tank was more than 100 meters away from him, Hilgorobe did not expect the battle to start at this point. The red signal flares shot into the air were still in the rising stage, and anti-tank rockets flew towards the Soviet armored columns along the road like sharp arrows, and the roars of various guns burst out were also made in an instant. Hilgorobe's combat partner was Volk, an uncle-level veteran. Although he did not have a beard, the traces of time were clearly written in his wrinkles. After the battle started, Uncle Volk was not as anxious as others

When he opened fire, he waited until the first wave of explosions had slightly dissipated that he aimed at a still moving Soviet tank to fire. After the war between the Soviet and Germany, the military facilities in northern Norway were far from meeting the needs of the German team. The US-made Bazuka had gradually surpassed the Iron Fist series to become the unguided anti-tank rocket launcher with the largest number of German equipment. Just two years ago, this simple and durable equipment was regarded as a useless "tickling stick" by US soldiers because of its insufficient range and power. Now it has become the most effective tool for the German army to eliminate Soviet tanks. How ironic!

Seeing that the Soviet infantry had not yet attacked, Hilgorobe quickly bent down to help Uncle Volk load rockets. His helpful mentality brought him good luck - a series of bullets screamed and swept across the edge of their double foxhole. It sounded like bullets fired by tanks or large-caliber machine guns on board. If they maintained their posture just now, the tenth** would be bitten by them. After reloading the rockets, the two carefully stood up and probed their heads. At this time, the road had become smoke due to the battle between the two sides. The accompanying Soviet infantry continued to play their hound spirit. In order to protect their own tanks, they could not obtain firepower to suppress them.

Devoting to the attack was a great threat to the German anti-tank combat team, which was only a hundred meters apart. The dense machine gun sounded across the battlefield, and ordinary people could no longer judge which ones belonged to them and which ones were on the enemy's side. Seeing seven or eight Soviet soldiers rushing straight towards another group of companions not far away, Hilgolobo quickly raised his gun to shoot. As the buttstock hit his shoulders in a gentle manner, the figures in front of the star shook one by one and fell down. Hilgolobo began to taste the joy brought by the war. It was this joy that made the madmen intoxicated. In contrast, the hardships encountered during the war were nothing.

"Down!"

Uncle Volk shouted in a thick voice, and his powerful hands pulled Hilgorobe. The young grenadier wearing an m43-type steel helmet couldn't find North, but he still honestly retracted back to the bottom of the fox pit. In a blink of an eye, shells flew over the top of his head, and the trembling feeling from the earth was stronger than in the first round of attacks. However, this difference was not entirely due to the power of the explosives, but from their explosive positions - which meant that the Soviet infantry rushing over the other side of the road were invading by horrifying shrapnel.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Fast!"

Behind the hill in the distance, a German lieutenant who looked in his early twenties urged his soldiers. The smoke at the scene was filled with smoke and the sour smell made people unable to help coughing. Under the camouflage net supported by the bracket, jeeps or trucks were loaded with box-type multi-tube rocket launchers. Although this rocket launcher first developed and used by the US military did not have the reputation of Katyusha, it could still play a role that was no less than Katyusha.
