"Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom! Boom! Boom..." Felix shook his stunned head. He could no longer remember how many times this was the shelling of the Allied forces on the opposite side.

It only took Felix a week to go from fear to complete habit. In this week, he changed from an ordinary private to a company commander. And his original company commander became a regiment commander.*

The remaining platoon leader and squad leader were all killed in the battle. The squad leader died in front of Felix. He was beaten into a sieve by the Soviet machine gun. His chest was completely smashed.

Pink internal organs and black and red blood were sprayed all over the floor. Without leaving any last words, Felix was beaten into a pile of rotten flesh. Then, Felix became the squad leader.

On the second line of defense, Felix's platoon leader was hit by an artillery shell that was unknown to the Soviets or Americans. The man on the spot was killed, leaving only a pair of legs with exposed bones and rotten flesh.

.

Fortunately, they could recover these rotten legs, and at least there was still a mutilated corpse. In this regard, the platoon leader's treatment was higher than that of the squad leader. They stayed in the second-line position for less than two days before they were forced to retreat to the third-line position.

.

Their regiment commander was killed, so the company commander became the acting regiment commander. Because the other company commanders were either killed or disabled and unable to command operations.

Felix calmly took a bite of the cold bread under the gunfire, and then cursed the damn Soviets for putting sawdust in the bread.

These were supplies captured from the Soviets. Felix was quite happy at first. At least there was some bread to eat, but as for the vodka, Felix didn't like it.

Unfortunately, he did not expect that the bread he was looking forward to was actually filled with sawdust. At this moment, Felix even wondered if these were one of the weapons specially used by the Soviets to kill him.

Felix really wronged the Soviets. Now the Soviet Union, from Kalinin to Stalin to the soldiers below, eats this bread stuffed with sawdust.

Having this to eat is actually pretty good. Since we had just emerged from the harsh civil war and famine, we were plunged into a war with Germany.

The Soviet Union did not have much food reserves to begin with. The long-term local war resulted in the small reserves of food being almost exhausted. On the one hand, these food reserves were supported by China. On the other hand, they were supported by the United States, Britain and other allies.

.

As a last resort, the Soviets could only develop a method of baking bread with sawdust stuffed in large columns. At least this can fill the stomach, right?! The bread on the front line is okay, with less sawdust mixed in.

The wood chips at the back are really scary. A piece of bread is at least 50% mixed with wood chips. When you bite into the whole bread, it feels like eating sand.

These breads were okay, just mixed with 30% sawdust. This was only agreed upon by the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union after considering that more supplies were needed due to the need for fighting on the front line.

"Elias, don't be afraid. War is like this. When the Soviets come up, don't shoot indiscriminately. Wait for my order." Felix smiled and patted the trembling private beside him.

road.

"Fight at most two battles, and you will adapt to this battlefield..." Felix added in his heart, provided that you can survive...

The soldier named Elias nodded gratefully, and then followed the others and left the shell-proof cave. Almost all the investigators outside the cave died.

Several German soldiers expressionlessly lifted the two observers who kept wailing and lost their legs. Elias and others quickly filled the position.

Machine guns were set up and mortars were put into position. At the same time, a large number of anti-tank mines were also sent to the position.

The current offensive methods of the Allies are all familiar to the Germans. First there is a saturation bombardment, and then the armored group covers the infantry charge.

The armored units would break through the German positions, and when they crushed the positions, the infantry would follow up. The armored units would tear apart and divide the German positions, and then the infantry would clear the positions of German soldiers.

"Kerala..." At this time, the roar of the tracks crushing the ground was clearly audible. Felix sighed, reluctantly put down the piece of bread, picked up his gun and left the shell-proof hole.

The smoke outside the position has gradually dissipated, and what is vaguely visible is the tanks slowly moving towards the position. These tanks formed an attack formation and kept moving towards the position.

"These damn Soviet guys, can't they change the way they fight..." Felix muttered and cursed, then waved his hand.

The German soldiers who had planted anti-tank mines in front of the position quickly withdrew, and at this time the tanks that kept driving towards the position also began to shell.

"Boom, boom, boom..." After braking, the tanks began to fire shells at the position. The two sides had fought each other not once or twice, and the Germans were familiar with the Allied fighting methods.

And how could the Allies not be familiar with the German defense methods?! A fierce bombardment detonated most of the anti-tank mines in front of the position. At this time, the tanks slowly started to move towards the position.

Both sides have become accustomed to, or are numb to, this method of combat. Part of the Soviet tank was blown up in front of the position, and the soldiers who followed began to set up machine gun positions to suppress the German position with fire.

"Boom, tug, tug..." Of course the Germans would not sit still and wait for death. They began to fight back at the Soviet army. Firepower points from various places began to shoot out the flames of machine guns, sending dust to the area where the Soviet soldiers were sitting.

Immediately, anti-tank rockets began to be fired at the Soviet tanks.

"Whoosh whoosh...boom boom..." A burst of explosions sounded on the battlefield, and several hit tanks suddenly exploded in the smoke. The roofs of the tanks were blown into the air, and there were screams and fire all over the body.

The soldiers jumped out of the tank and were mowed down by machine guns.

Those tanks accelerated suddenly, trying to rush into the German position before being destroyed.

"Have you finished laying the mines?! Evacuate once you've laid them!!" Felix shouted loudly, and the soldiers who had laid anti-tank mines in the position immediately responded loudly.

Felix had a sullen face and ordered the troops to retreat immediately. Fighting head-on was not a good option at this time. The Soviet tanks were not something infantry like them could easily deal with.

What a pity! There are too few "Iron Fist" issued, otherwise they will be able to deal with the Soviet tank troops...

The Iron Fist is a shelf launcher modified by the Germans based on the design drawings provided by Tu Mengben. The Americans, who also obtained the design drawings, modified this weapon and called it the "Bazooka".

It is a pity that the German army has equipped this weapon to front-line troops. The US military has been a little slower, and until now this weapon has not been fully equipped.

Only a small number of troops were equipped, and some were even captured by the Germans.

"Kerala...Boom!!" A Soviet tank finally ran over the German position, but what greeted it was a violent explosion. The entire tank was immediately overturned, and its tracks were blown off and flew away.

The Soviet infantry following behind was hit by broken tracks from flying fire and fell to the ground miserably.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Explosions sounded one after another. Although anti-tank mines would not explode under normal circumstances when people step on them.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, a teacher in later generations once told his students that anti-tank mines would not explode when someone steps on them, and even demonstrated one himself.

As a result, he and the students around him were all gone.

The Soviets did not want to prove that German anti-tank mines would not be stepped on, but they still stepped on some German land mines.

While the Soviet troops were fighting with blood and flesh, the German troops had retreated to the second-line position and began to fight back using the weapons in their hands.

"Kerala..." At this time, the German armored forces finally arrived on the battlefield. In order to avoid losing tanks in artillery fire, the German army did not arrange tanks on the front line.

Instead, they wait for orders at the rear. If a battle breaks out on the front line, the tanks will move forward to provide fire support.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The German tanks quickly braked and launched an artillery bombardment towards the positions occupied by the Soviet troops.

The violent explosion immediately engulfed the entire position, and the flying shrapnel tore the Soviet soldiers on the position into pieces of flesh and blood on the ground.

"Boom!..." Several Soviet tanks were directly blown up, and after the first round of shooting, the German tanks started again and ran towards the positions occupied by the Soviet troops.

Felix, who retreated to the second-line position, laughed and ordered the troops to coordinate with the tanks to launch a counterattack. They had done this so many times.

The German soldiers rushed out of the position very skillfully and began to launch a countercharge towards the position at the pace of the tanks.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." At this time, the German artillery also began to block the fire. A large number of artillery shells tore the connection between the Soviet army and the position.

The Soviet army's subsequent support troops were immediately blocked from the artillery fire. The German army frantically launched a counterattack against the remaining Soviet troops on the position.

"Thud, tug, tug..." The machine guns on the German tanks kept roaring. The Soviet soldiers on the position were hit directly or by stray bullets, and they fell to the ground screaming.

The German army used its iron fist and began to assist the German armored forces in clearing the remaining Soviet soldiers and tanks on the position.

At this point in the battle, the Soviet army has lost the ability to resist. The remaining soldiers can only brave the German artillery fire and withdraw towards the rear...
