Maybe the answer to this question is ever-changing, and there are different answers to answer depending on the situations and situations you face, but at least one thing in common can be confirmed, that is, you must be prepared in advance and make as many arrangements as possible.
, an insufficiently prepared surprise battle is bound to face failure.
As an SS veteran with rich battlefield experience, Scott had indeed anticipated such emergencies as this.
But what he expected in advance was that the National Defense Forces might have heavy weapons such as armored vehicles, or a large number of machine guns that could suppress their own firepower. It was not that he expected that the National Defense Forces still had them in their hands.
A 75mm anti-tank gun.
But this is no longer important now. What is important is that the back-up measures Scott has prepared to deal with sudden emergencies are enough to handle such a predicament, but as far as this is concerned, it is enough.
.
The object Scott prepared for emergencies can really be regarded as a big killer. In the current situation, it is the kind of existence that can sweep across the battlefield and crush all soft infantry targets. This is a weapon that is mounted on
The Flak 38 quadruple 20 mm anti-aircraft gun was mounted on a half-track in the center of the convoy.
Naturally, Scott did not bring this anti-aircraft half-track vehicle to use it for shooting. Instead, he expected this anti-aircraft half-track vehicle to be able to lower its muzzle and fire flatly at critical moments. It would serve as the strongest firepower and mainstay of his assault convoy.
exist.
Just as Scott expected, after realizing that there were several idiots from the National Defense Forces within his sight, they were busy unhooking the anti-tank gun from a tractor truck and preparing to aim and fire at their own side.
.
This anti-aircraft half-track vehicle, which was already ready to go, immediately lowered its side armor baffles to create a shooting angle for the anti-aircraft guns. The gunner sitting on the chair of the anti-aircraft gun position quickly turned the steering gear of the gun mount in his hand and turned the muzzle.
, the four black 20mm gun ports have already aimed at the target as quickly as possible.
"Target anti-tank gun! Fire!"
Dong dong dong dong——
Different from the Navy 37 mobile phone, which has a bad reputation, the Flak 38 quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun is a very excellent anti-aircraft weapon.
When the war to invade the Soviet Union broke out, it was a low-altitude protective umbrella for the German front-line troops. With the intensive firepower and high-rate flexibility of the quadruple unit, it destroyed many Red Army fighters and attack aircraft attacking at low altitudes. It is a very worthwhile aircraft.
Reliable low-range air defense artillery.
An excellent anti-aircraft gun must not only be effective in flying aircraft, but also be effective against ground targets. Only in this way can it be called an excellent anti-aircraft gun that meets the requirements of being an all-rounder on the battlefield.
A barrage of four bright green tracer barrages instantly crackled and rushed straight towards the 75mm anti-tank gun that had not been fully deployed.
The few Wehrmacht soldiers who were manning artillery and preparing to fire would not have expected that in the light convoy opposite, which seemed to only have half-tracks and trucks, there would be such a powerful weapon as a half-track anti-aircraft vehicle. They were unprepared.
In an instant, he was swallowed up by a dense fire net composed of four barrages.
Since we were shooting while on the move, it was relatively bumpy, so the accuracy of the anti-aircraft barrage that hit us all over the place was slightly inaccurate and a little skewed.
However, the high-rate quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft gun is not a tank gun that fires one round and reloads one round after all. The dense barrage fire net weaved by the extremely high rate of fire is enough to make up for the shortcomings in accuracy.
The few Wehrmacht soldiers who didn't even have time to escape were really unlucky. The 20mm cannon barrage, which lacked accuracy but was extremely dense, instantly tore apart several Wehrmacht soldiers who were hit in the torso, and then exploded on the spot.
There was a cloud of blood mist, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Then two more Wehrmacht soldiers who were not hit in their vital organs were directly hit in the legs by 20mm projectiles. Their flesh and blood flew away on the spot, their bones were broken, and they fell to the ground wailing and screaming.
"Legs! My legs, ahhhhh!!!"
"Help me, someone help me! My legs, my legs!!!"
The piercing screams were so heartbreaking that they could be heard clearly in this cruel and bloody night even from a distance of several hundred meters.
Scott is not worried that his soldiers will be shaken by this. Almost all of the elite SS Panzergrenadiers are war machines that carry out orders efficiently. Such things as personal emotions have long been removed from their dictionary.
Erased, even if he hangs a seven or eight-year-old girl who is considered to be a guerrilla family member without mercy, killing a few cowards of the National Defense Force is a piece of cake.
What's more, these Wehrmacht softies who want to surrender to the Russians have violated the Führer's order to fight to the end, so there is no need to consider the psychological burden whether they kill these guys for reasons or reasons. Fanatical loyalty to the Führer and the execution and maintenance of the Führer's orders are
The sacred duty of the SS was unquestionable from beginning to end.
But even so, Scott still felt quite uncomfortable hearing the screams in his ears.
Different from the foreign SS troops in the Viking Division, their Varoni Panzergrenadier Brigade is an elite armed SS force composed of real Germans, so the current situation can be regarded as a kind of fratricide no matter how you say it.
Brothers stab each other.
Scott didn't pity the weaklings of the Wehrmacht who wanted to surrender, but felt that since we were all members of the German armed forces, why did they end up in such a situation of killing each other today? Thinking back to that time in 1941, but the SS
The army and the Wehrmacht united in the same trench and held the position under artillery fire.
Scott, who had personally experienced this scene, even felt at the time that the Wehrmacht and the SS could actually seek common ground while reserving differences, fight side by side, and rely on each other. After all, everyone was moving in the direction pointed by the Sword of the Führer.
Fight hard.
But now, Scott, who was still sitting in the passenger seat, recalled his ridiculous idea and glanced at the cruel reality that was happening in front of him. He could only grin at himself and then stopped.
Say a little more.
"I really hope this can all end soon, and these bastards and cowards will stop coming out to die! Damn it, we just want freedom, can't we just take the gas and leave!?"
The driver, who was holding the steering wheel while avoiding the fire while stepping on the accelerator, was cursing continuously. For some reason, these Wehrmacht cowards who had already planned to surrender to the Russians were still running like frightened rabbits from the military camp.
People kept running out of the tent, coming from farther out of sight to die.
Considering the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to describe this situation as a one-sided massacre.
