Battle of the Third Reich

"They are retreating. I saw the truck turn left from the back street. What? I don't know the name of the road. It's the first intersection on the north side." Corporal Bower kneeled on the top floor of the Chinachem Hotel On the terrace, holding a telescope in one hand and a magnetic field phone in the other, loudly reported to the squad leader the situation he observed.

"They may want to go roundabout. Okay, no problem. I'll keep staring. When will the reinforcements arrive? Well, it's okay, we can hold it here, sir? Of course, I understand." Ball hung up After calling, he turned to the sniper who leaned on the corner tower wall and shouted: "Yeger, the reinforcements of the concession are already on the way. They are now very worried that the Japanese will break through the border from other directions."

"This has nothing to do with us...the twelfth." The sniper pulled the trigger of Mauser's shotgun.

"Has it been twelve? In which position?" Ball bowed his head carefully.

"Under the third truck." The sniper squatted down to pull the bolt, and pulled out a five-round bridge clip from the cowhide ammunition bag around his waist.

"I really don't understand. They seem to want to detour from the north. I always have a feeling that their attack does not seem firm." Bauer observed with his telescope.

"I found it. It's another officer." The difference between Japanese officers and soldiers is obvious. Just look at whether he has a command knife in his waist.

"Behind the fourth car, hell, he retracted." Ball said with regret.

"How is the situation below?" The sniper changed positions and raised his gun to search for the target.

"I didn't ask, it should be okay." Bauer pulled out a flannel and wiped the lens of the telescope.

"Go to two people and carry the wounded to the back! You take the place of Adolf. Pay attention to the concealment, the marksmanship of this group of **** is accurate!" Sergeant Weber issued instructions in English loudly, and two headscarved Indian waiters lifted Running towards a casualty with a table board.

Most of the people in Weberban are now fighting in the South Building, and the North Building has only two infantry left to defend the floor where the members of the mission are. Including snipers, this SS squad has only twelve people, but the number of automatic weapons it possesses is comparable to that of a Japanese infantry platoon.

The two MG34 machine guns were astonishingly powerful, and Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig left them with enough bullets. Both the deputy squad leader and deputy machine gun shooter were equipped with submachine guns, and each soldier also carried four additional grenades.

Shortly after the battle began, they unexpectedly received support from a team of Indian patrols resting in the lobby of the South Building. These Sikh patrols are all equipped with Lee Enfield rifles and carry a base bullet.

Weber found that these patrols were quite brave and belligerent, and all he needed was a qualified commander. Sergeant Weber did not dare to say how good he was at commanding combat, but he did receive junior commander training and participated in the invasion of Poland. Although the performance of the Waffen SS in the Polish campaign was very bad, but how to say Be considered to have actual combat experience.

In the battle to annihilate the Morimoto Brigade, Weber's performance was outstanding. Although two people were killed in his rifle squad, the number of Japanese casualties in their hands was more than ten times this number.

After the war, Weber was promoted by the fire line. Not only was he promoted to a corporal, but also because of the brave command of the battle, he also received a second-level iron cross medal that his colleagues envy.

Don't look at the elite appearance of the SS team of the Armed Police Brigade. In fact, many officers and soldiers have a white board in front of them when they come to Asia. At this time, the German military medal verification procedure was quite strict. Even the second-level iron cross still has a considerable amount of gold, and the history and history have been changed. I believe that the German medals will not be distributed in large quantities together with combat rations as in history.

Because of the perennial training, the marksmanship of the Indian patrol was surprisingly good, but he did not know how to hide himself on the battlefield. After all, these people are only policemen, not professionally trained field infantry.

Although the Japanese were caught off guard, they still had the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers. If it wasn’t Houdong’s eagerness to rush to occupy the Ministry of Industry and Bureau Building, if the whole army was overwhelmed, with Weber’s current strength It is difficult to resist the full assault of the Japanese. However, Weber had this confidence. Even if he was defeated in the end, his infantry squad would fight to the last person, and the enemy forces would also add to the loss.

In the fifteen minutes of the war, the number of casualties in the Japanese army has exceeded 50. Almost a team was lost at this intersection. The officers and non-commissioned officers in the first few vehicles were especially hit by snipers. 109th United The second brigade has lost three Cao Chang and seven military cao and two second lieutenants.

The Germans are certainly not without losses. Although these Japanese soldiers are not as good as those veterans of a hundred battles, they still have some basic combat qualities. The 38-type rifle has always been known for accurate shooting. The MG34 machine gunner became the target of the Japanese infantry. The German machine gunner was shot shortly after the battle began. The replacement deputy shooter was also seriously injured a few minutes later. As an ammunition player, he has received professional training and currently seems to be able to control the machine gun.

Corporal Ryan was shot in the left arm, but he did not withdraw the line of fire. After simple bandaging by his comrades, he continued to stick to his command post.

The machine gun team brought by Weber set up a shooting position in another window of the restaurant on the second floor. The staff and waiters in the restaurant helped a lot. These brave people volunteered to participate in the battle, in addition to the Indian waiters in the lobby , There are more than a dozen Chinese employees working in the back kitchen.

In the rain of bullets coming out of the window, they joined forces to move the heavy oak tables and chairs to the window, and also removed bags of American rice from the kitchen. A solid machine gun bunker was built in less than a minute.

These people helped the soldiers carry ammunition, or filled the empty magazines for the submachine gunmen. When they were hit by a German or Indian, they would step up and carry the wounded to a safe corner. The bar supervisor took out the good Scotch spirits to clean the injured area, or sip a few sips into the opponent's mouth.

Three of the eight Indian patrols were killed, and one was injured in the head. The bullet tore his scalp and may have caused a concussion. Sergeant Weber believed that the oversized headscarf saved the patrol’s small Life.

"We can hold here! Everyone sticks to it, and the reinforcements will arrive soon! Continue to fire! Kill this despicable Japanese!" Sergeant Weber took over the magazine delivered by a Chinese chef and slid it backhandedly. On the loading port of MP40.

"Oblique." Weber smiled and thanked the Chinese guy. He spooked the other with a spicy tone.

"They want to cover the retreat alternately." Corporal Ryan reported loudly, and then holding a Mauser automatic pistol out of the window was a short shot.

"Continue to shoot and nail them to the position." Weber ordered with a submachine gun aloud.

"It's your phone, Mr. Weber." An Indian waiter greeted the phone.

"Wait a minute..." Weber walked over and picked up the receiver.

"Yes, sir, I'm Sergeant Weber. Yes, we have a lot of casualties, but we can continue to hold on. Yes, they turned west from the first junction north of us. Really? The fighting here is fierce. , So I can’t hear it. That’s great, but unfortunately we can’t go there now.

Thank you, sir, and thank you for telling me this... I agree, this is indeed ridiculous. Very honored sir, my subordinates and I are just doing our duty, yes, thank you very much, I will tell my subordinates. Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting with reinforcements. Is it David Ensign? No, I haven't heard of him before, sir. Good sir, bye. "Weber put down the phone and nodded to the waiter to thank him."

"Reinforcement is only one intersection from us, gentlemen." Weber announced loudly that the people in the restaurant immediately cheered with joy.

"The armored car in the patrol room blocked the Japanese convoy near Sichuan Road and was in a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese. It was too noisy here, and I could not hear the sound of guns over there." Weber walked behind Ryan Speaking.

"The patrol room finally did what they were supposed to do, but I was worried that they would not be able to hold on for too long. These are regular Japanese troops. I think armored vehicles may not be able to stop them." Ryan endured the pain and struggled with the injured hand Press the magazine buckle.

"I'll do it." Webber grabbed the Mauser pistol from the shift officer, and then pulled a twenty-round magazine from the leather magazine bag around the opponent's waist and reloaded it.

"This battle will not last long. The British consul said that the Japanese army did not obtain permission from the superior. Several officers initiated the invasion privately. The Japanese are sending people to stop it." Weber returned the pistol to Ryan.

"What? This kind of thing will happen. If the British say it is true, does it mean that we are fighting a group of rebel soldiers?" Ryan's eyes widened in surprise.

"I honestly don’t know very well, maybe it’s not a rebellion. These soldiers may just be deceived by the officers. I don’t think it’s meaningful to discuss this anyway. Anyway, these people did invade the concession and threatened the mission. . We have a good reason for the war, the British have assured us this." Weber's probe is a three-shot burst downstairs.

"Same as last time." Ryan was referring to the battle with Morimoto's brigade.

"Yeah, the same as last time." Webb nodded in agreement.

"incredible."

"Yes, it's unbelievable." The SS sergeant nodded once again in agreement.

PS: Thank you for your consideration and support.
