The sharp and sharp sound of the warhead breaking through the air was accompanied by a muffled sound of breaking through the flesh and skull, and finally ended with the body of an SS officer whose head was half blown off, lying on his back and falling to the ground.
This was the end of his sinful life.
The power of the 12.7mm Deshka machine gun ammunition is indeed astonishing. This large-caliber heavy machine gun ammunition cannot even withstand light armor and can be easily broken. Once it hits a flesh and blood body, the result is simply "unbearable to look at".
”.
The upper part of the entire head and the military cap were all blown off. Although the body of the SS officer who fell to the ground was still kicking his legs and shaking his hands, his nerves were twitching, but most of his head was gone.
There was no trace of life left in the body, and only the lower part of the head below the bridge of the nose was still connected to the body, and blood that had not yet flowed out was still spraying out.
"Enright is dead! The Russians' offensive is too fierce. We can't die in vain here! We can't stay here any longer!"
For the Skeleton Division, which spends most of the 365 days a year wallowing in pools of blood where the battles are fiercest on the front lines, it is no longer uncommon for junior officers to suddenly die in battle.
, once there is a big and fierce battle to be fought, the survival rate of junior officers is not much better than that of ordinary soldiers, and there are often situations where the senior officer is killed before the veteran is dead.
And after the company commander was shot off by half of his head from a Russian heavy machine gun bullet that flew from nowhere, the Skeleton Division soldiers hiding in the low-lying areas finally realized that this ghost place was real.
Can't hold on any longer.
Even if the armored forces are mobilized to support now, it is impossible. The only strategic buffer has been devoured by the Russian steel monsters that are rushing forward just now.
At the moment, there is no choice but to retreat and reorganize defense. At least this is the most militaryly valuable and meaningful option.
But... where should we retreat? Where can we stop and start organizing defenses and resist the Russian attack? This is a situation that most SS soldiers currently have no idea about and have no time to do.
Questions to think about.
"Hey, where do you plan to take people to evacuate? Behind us is the station. Do you think that kind of place can withstand the charge of the Russian steel monster? That broken wall can even knock down an armored vehicle, let alone a heavy tank!
"
Some things have to be spoken out by someone, and the more critical the moment, the more important it is to speak out, otherwise, in the end, you may not even have the chance to speak out.
When the deputy company commander who was about to lead his men to withdraw heard this, he immediately turned his head and glanced at the platoon leader who was tugging on his sleeve and asking a question loudly. The irritable look on his face and his shortness of breath did not seem like he was joking.
"No matter where we evacuate, even if we do evacuate into the station, we must not stay here any longer! Are you going to continue talking nonsense with me, or do you want to act quickly before the Russian tanks crush you to a pulp? We are not escaping.
, just change to a place where we can still survive and continue fighting. If we die so quickly, we can't defeat the Russians."
"..."
I wanted to say something in rebuttal, but I couldn't think of how to say it for a while.
That is, when the platoon leader was hesitating whether to withdraw with the deputy company commander to temporarily avoid the Russians' aggressive attack like a man-eating beast, a decision was about to be made.
At this moment, a rifleman with a panicked and hurried expression crawled into the low ground and came to the two officers. Before he could fully get up from the unfortunate position where he almost fell into a dog's shit, he took the lead.
Di said hurriedly.
"General Hermann has ordered that all peripheral blocking troops retreat immediately! Retreat to the station to reorganize defenses! The frontline troops alternately cover the retreat and execute according to the preliminary plan! Immediately!"
"...."
The order to retreat was officially issued and conveyed, just when the deputy company commander and platoon commander, who had temporarily taken over the command, seemed to be having trouble reaching a consensus.
After hearing this, the two people who had been arguing just now looked at each other and looked at each other, and their expressions seemed to have enough flavor to reach a consensus.
The Russian steel war machine was roaring and roaring not far away, getting closer and closer. The whistling shells and bullets were accompanied by violent explosions. There was no doubt that even if you stayed in this hellish place for a long time,
You could have lost your life in the last second.
There is no other way, let alone any other choice. Retreat has become the only feasible way out at the moment, and it must be "immediately".
Under the premise of being suddenly attacked and caught off guard, it was actually difficult for the peripheral infantry troops of the Skeleton Division to organize unified and effective command at this moment. Even Herman ordered to emphasize "alternating cover, orderly
"Retreat" has now become a consistent order that is difficult to execute.
The pre-war reconnaissance conducted in advance provided Malashenko with sufficient and reliable information on the enemy's deployment. After knowing that all the German armored forces were abandoned in the south and that the German infantry stationed in the north had no reliable positions and bunkers,
Malashenko's decisive order at that time to "cut and surround the enemy infantry as much as possible" finally showed results at this time.
The first ones to start retreating were naturally the infantry troops of the Skeleton Division deployed in the rear and closest to the station behind them, but at the same time, they were also watching their comrades fighting in front of them in bloody battles, being swept away by the rolling torrent of Russian steel and
Divided, surrounded, and devoured by infantry.
These two-legged Skeleton Division infantry had no chance of escape in front of the steel tracks that were speeding and rolling like a meat grinder.
The Russian's steel torrent is like a red-hot machete, which can cut through any infantry unit it comes into contact with as easily as cutting through a cream cake, without any suspense.
Before the infantry of the Skeleton Division, which had been cut off in the middle and gathered in lumps, had time to retreat, they would be swallowed up and drowned by the Russian infantry following their own tanks.
Just before I could recover from being ridden on my face by a tank, another group of Russian infantrymen swarmed in with roars. Before I could fight the Russian infantry for two rounds, another group of Russian infantrymen came from another group.
The Russian heavy tank troops rushing over from the side ran into their faces again, followed as usual by a large group of howling Russian infantrymen.
Not only the Wehrmacht could not resist such a fast-paced non-stop cutting tactic, but even top SS elite units like the Skeleton Division could not resist it. It is as if in the face of absolute strength, no matter how hard you rack your brains, you will never be able to resist it.
There is no possibility of good results, and it is equivalent to wasting your efforts.
