Although the entire Northern Army Group is not as large as the Central Army and the South Army, it is definitely a huge army. In just a few days, the 18th Army, which belongs to the Northern Army Group, has advanced secretly.

Compared with other armored divisions, the 18th Army was almost all infantry. Of course, in this era, Germany had comprehensively promoted the construction of the mechanized infantry division. Germany's strong industrial production capacity allowed it to easily equip its army with a sufficient number of infantry fighting vehicles.

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

Now, with the armored battalion as the forefront, the infantry fighting vehicles behind, the huge army crossed the Volga River from the east, defeated the negligible defenders on the bridge, and then drove straight in.

The Soviet army was so lacking that they did not have enough reserve force. The 18th Army was like a red-hot soldering iron inserted into the cheese and penetrated it in one go.

"Go forward, accelerate forward." On an armored command vehicle, Georg von Qusiler, the commander of the 18th Army, looked at the city ahead with a telescope and shouted loudly: "Eliminate all resistances, and as long as someone dares to resist, they will be eliminated immediately!"

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

The Soviets were already soldiers of the whole nation, and even a child of a few years old might have grenades in his hand. Fighting on the Soviet battlefield is different from other European countries, and stupid words that have nothing to do with civilians are not valid here.

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles rushed into the city of Kalinin. After entering the city, they encountered decent resistance. On the street, in a sandbag bunker, a Maxim heavy machine gun began to shoot at them.

The bullets hit the infantry fighting vehicle and made a thump. Then, the 40mm tank cannon on the infantry fighting vehicle opened fire violently, and the 40mm high-explosive bombs fired in an instant, which lifted the entire machine gun position away.

Go forward, keep moving forward!

The wheels of the infantry fighting chariot rolled forward, and on the street in front, several Soviets dressed in workers' clothes raised the mooring bottle.

"Dadada." The 6.8mm bullets shot over frantically and killed these Soviets. Faced with these resistance forces, the German army was very determined, to destroy and crush them!

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

North of the city, river bank.

The bridge was blown up and blocked the 522nd Artillery Battalion in the north of the river. They came out of the woods, looked at the turbulent river, and the bombed bridge. At this time, their faces were ugly. You looked at me, I looked at you, and the same information was revealed in your eyes.

If you can't get through, the German armored troops are behind. What should you do at this time?

Rush forward and fight with the Germans!

Put up the cannon and prepare to bombard the German tanks!

The gunners of the 522nd Artillery Battalion were determined to fight to the death.

At this time, the 100th Infantry Battalion behind them also retreated. Looking at the broken bridge here, Hayashi suddenly laughed: "Haha, hahaha. The German guy actually exploded the bridge. This is to give us the last chance to be heroic! Let's set up positions here and wait for the Germans!"

What are you afraid of? When I signed up for the army, I had the determination to die, but I didn’t expect that I would be wiped out by the Germans in less than half a month after I went to the battlefield.

Before dying, kill a few more German tanks! However, you have to think about how to fight!

When retreating, I just waited for a while before death. At this time, there was already a sea of ​​blood on the position behind.

"Buzz, buzz." The diesel engine roared, and black smoke came out. The tiger tank had already broken through the defense line of the Kalinin defenders. After breaking through, they immediately changed their formation and became a shape of a single character, and advanced towards both sides.

This is the impact tactics discussed by Guderian and others in the desert of Libya. The triangular formation was like a wedge, nailed into the opponent's defense line until a large hole was torn open. After it was torn open, it immediately moved to both sides, fucked them on the enemy's back, and expanded the width of the hole. At the same time, a large number of infantry soldiers behind could also rush up.

The Soviets either surrendered or died!

A Soviet soldier stood up bravely, holding a bundle of smoked grenades. Unfortunately, before he was thrown out, countless blood holes appeared in his body. His body trembled and fell backwards.

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

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

No armored division can be all tanks. Tanks are only used to impact the enemy's positions, and behind the tanks are followed by infantry. Historically, Germany used a half-track chassis, and even had 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 calmly charge in tanks without worrying about enemy machine gun bullets. However, the inherent defects of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are still inferior to those of tracked off-road capabilities under complex terrain.

Therefore, Germany began to develop tracked infantry fighting vehicles again, which cost more and consumed more. This kind of tracked infantry fighting vehicle is given priority to equipment for elite troops. As a Skeleton Division, of course, it is also the first combat unit to be equipped with tracked infantry fighting vehicles.

Tracked chariots charged forward, and before reaching the trenches, they stopped.

A soldier from the Skeleton Division, carrying a 6.8mm assault rifle, charged forward, and the guns in their hands were also constantly firing.

"Da da da da da."

"Dada."

As long as you see there are still living Soviet soldiers, you will be able to go up there. At this time, you will be comparing who has a faster firing speed. In the trench war in World War I, submachine guns have become the favorite of soldiers, which is the high firing speed.

A soldier from the Skeleton Division ran forward with his gun. His bullets had swept several Soviets down. Just as he stepped over the Soviets' bodies across his legs, suddenly, he reached out his hand and grabbed his boots.

There was actually a living person under the bodies of several Soviet soldiers. If this guy pretended to be dead here, he wouldn't have it, but now he is still coming out to fight.

The soldiers of the Skeleton Division immediately waved their hand, turned their guns around, and pulled the trigger at the guy.

"Bang!" The striker hit the bottom fire, but there was no gunshot. At this critical moment, a dud shot actually appeared.

Then, the soldiers of the Skeleton Division poked the muzzle down, and the sharp bayonet in front pierced the Soviet soldier's back.

"Puff!" The moment he pulled out the bayonet, blood splattered half of his leg. The Soviet soldier's hand still did not let go. At the same time, the grenade smoke came out from the place pressing under his chest.
Chapter completed!
