Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Because of the participation of southern African troops in the Battle of Budapest, the battle reports are authentic and credible.

In December, the Danube River is in its dry season. The river surface has narrowed and is completely frozen. Cars can drive, but tanks cannot.

Last week, Lieutenant General Zhimachenko, commander of the Russian 10th Army, sent an armored unit in an attempt to bypass the German positions through the frozen river and carry out a pincer attack on the German positions.

The result was terrible. The ice could not bear the 45-ton IS-2. When the four IS-2s drove onto the ice together, the ice broke and the four IS-2s sank into the water. Now only one cannon remains.

The pipe is exposed on the river.

This failed assault was just a microcosm of the Battle of Budapest. Since the resumption of the offensive, the Russian army seemed to suddenly become incapable of fighting. It suffered continuous losses of troops, morale was greatly affected, and the generals were also implicated. In the past week, there have been three

The commander of the army group was replaced.

"The commander of the 53rd Army has changed again. Now he is Lieutenant General Kalanin -" Chen Cang was very worried about his Russian colleagues. Being a general in Russia is no less dangerous than being the prime minister in France.

"How is Major General Tarasov?" Black was also frightened. Fortunately, neither Rock nor Arthur were cruel people.

The 53rd Army belongs to the Second Front and was one of the first Russian armies to participate in the attack on Budapest.

The German resistance was extremely fierce, and the 53rd Army made unfavorable progress. After the failure of the first attack, the Army Commander Lieutenant General Managarov was dismissed and his successor was Major General Tarasov.

Before Chen Cang could figure out how to spell the name "Tarasov", the commander of the 53rd Army was changed again.

Tragically, the fate of these dismissed commanders is usually very tragic.

"Who knows, I hope he won't go to Siberia to grow potatoes -" Chen Cang was not playing tricks, he was sincerely praying.

If you just plant potatoes, the results are already relatively good.

"We will definitely not be able to end the fighting before Christmas." Blake was a little pessimistic. The situation in Russia was not good, and someone had to be a scapegoat.

The German garrison on the other side of the Danube did not exceed 150,000 people at most.

There are 1.5 million people gathered here in Russia, and ten people can fight one person.

The battle, which originally had no suspense, turned out to be one-sided, and Russia was still the one getting beaten. This must have made the bearded man furious.

Chen Cang and Black didn't know how much the Russian army had suffered. A rough estimate was that it would not be less than 200,000 people.

If this result happened to the Southern African army, the whole of Southern Africa would be shocked. Since the outbreak of the world war, Southern Africa has never lost more than 100,000 people in a battle.

It's quite common in Russia.

I feel that the Russian army cannot meet the battle standards if it does not lose one million people in a battle.

"Order the troops to be patient, we have to maintain the balance of the front -" Chen Cang did not advance rashly. Unlike the Russians who were struggling, the southern African side has already invaded the center of Buda. If necessary, the battle should be ended before Christmas.

possible.

The Danube River is really clearly demarcated. The fighting on both sides broke out almost at the same time, but the intensity was completely different.

On the Russian side, the Germans fought to the death, often with company and platoon level battles, until the entire army was wiped out, and no one surrendered.

In southern Africa, the servant army has no intention of fighting and only provides perfunctory resistance. Fighting is like going to work. They just throw up their hands and surrender after taking two shots without any psychological barriers.

According to the surrendered servant officers and soldiers, the most tenacious fighting force in Buda was not the Germans or the Hungarian servant army, but an army from Russia.

After Chen Cang learned more about it, he learned that this Russian unit came from Ukraine.

Ukraine is rich in Cossacks.

The Cossacks, as a group, have no loyalty at all.

It cannot be said that during the Russian Empire, the Cossacks were still very loyal to the Tsar.

After the establishment of the current Russian government, the Cossacks lost their loyalties, so after the German invasion, a servant army with a total strength of 100,000 people was established in Ukraine.

The Russian army fighting in France is also a Ukrainian servant army.

Interestingly, the Russian Second and Third Fronts on the other side of the river are also mainly Ukrainians, so the Cossacks are really miserable.

"Isn't this bad? Marshal Malinov also wants us to launch a supporting attack on Pest after the battle in Buda is over -" Black was worried about causing dissatisfaction among the friendly forces.

"Do you want to help the Russians attract firepower?" Chen Cang is not worried, Malinov should be worried.

The bearded man's patience is limited. Several group army commanders have been replaced. Who knows when it will be the front commander's turn.

Russia has nothing but a large number of people and no fear of sacrifice.

The command was broken down layer by layer. When they reached the front line, the 41st Commando was less than one kilometer away from Victory Square in the center of Buda.

The offensive in southern Africa did not engage in a decisive tank battle. Instead, the troops were divided into commandos of varying numbers and launched a infiltration attack into the urban area of ​​Buda.

The urban terrain is complex, and tanks driving on narrow streets are like living targets, which is not conducive to tank combat. Therefore, light infantry is popular, and small-scale commandos have a better attack effect than armored troops.

The key is that the equipment is advanced and more suitable for urban combat.

Now in southern Africa, including the servant army, they have completely replaced automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons that are more suitable for urban warfare. They use assault rifles with 30-round magazines, combined with semi-automatic Nyasaland rifles, which can be used at medium and short ranges.

To ensure the stability of firepower, supplemented by pistols and shotguns that are more suitable for indoor combat, you will not be afraid even if you fight from house to house.

In fact, for indoor combat, grenades are the biggest killers, especially the shock bombs that emphasize the soft-kill effect, which can avoid accidental injuries to the greatest extent and become the favorite of soldiers.

The commandos of the 41st Commando Group have replaced all their powerful defensive grenades with more effective shock bombs and are preparing to launch an attack on Victory Square.

"What the hell, we have to stop the attack again. Is it so difficult to get a medal!" Amri from Najd was unwilling. From the window next to him, he could already see the clock tower next to Victory Square.

The Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa is very generous. For the Southern African Expeditionary Force participating in the war, it is easy to get a medal. Even if you sprain your ankle, there will be a corresponding medal.

The Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa is also very stingy. For the officers and soldiers of the alliance troops, they can only receive medals issued by the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa unless they have repeatedly performed in the battlefield. To describe it as a narrow escape is not an exaggeration.

This is already the third year that Amri has participated in the war. He has experienced more than ten battles, large and small, but Amri still has not received a medal.

"It's not easy to get a medal. Apply for Southern African citizenship -" Louis, from Tanganyika, was half lying on an old sofa and was carefully wiping a ring he got from somewhere.

It has precious stones, and it is the emerald that Europeans love.

Hungary is also an old imperialist country. It was ruled by the Ottoman Empire and Austria for a long time and only regained its independence after World War I.

In 1941, Hungary joined the Axis Powers. It was not until 1944 that the German army entered Hungary. Before they could carry out organized robbery against Hungary, the Battle of Budapest broke out.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers who participated in the Battle of Budapest gained a lot. Starting from November, as many as one million parcels were sent from Budapest to southern Africa every month.

"I applied three times, but all of them were rejected -" Amli said sadly. Southern Africa's naturalization review is too strict.

It would be great if you could apply. Klein, who was resting under another window, was not even qualified to apply.

Klein is a Bulgarian who was separated from his troops during the battle and is a non-staff member of the 41st Commando.

Compared with the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the equipment of the Bulgarian army is inferior, at least it does not have such things as shock bombs.

The combat effectiveness of the Bulgarian army is not very good. They are used to fighting in a rigid manner and are not good at adjusting according to the specific situation of the enemy. Therefore, in the battle to attack Buda, the Bulgarian army suffered heavy casualties, and the basic establishment of many troops was broken up.

After the battle is over, the Bulgarian army will definitely have to take stock.

"Should we retreat to the rear and rest?" What Klein wanted most now was to take a hot bath and then have a good sleep.

In fact, the fighting in Buda was not very intense. Sometimes there was no sound of gunfire for ten or twenty minutes. There was not a soul on the street. There were only snowflakes in the sky. Occasionally, there would be rumbles of gunfire from the other side of the river.

However, if you are careless and expose your body to the window, you may be shot by a German sniper.

Now the Germans have also changed their tactics. Instead of fighting head-on with the Southern African Expeditionary Force, they are fighting guerrilla warfare in the cities. Many German veterans don't even have scopes on their rifles, but they can shoot very accurately, within one or two hundred meters.

Hit almost wherever you want.

"What are you thinking about? Even if we stop attacking, we have to stay put until someone comes to take over -" Amri also sat down, took out all the shock bombs, placed them in the most convenient position, and lined them up under the window.

a row.

"So when will someone come to replace us?" Klein still doesn't understand the meaning of "replacement."

"Hey, if you're in a hurry, you can take a nap first." Louis put the clean ring on his hand, looked left and right, satisfied.

Amri pouted.

This is obviously a women's ring. It looks really weird when worn on the hand of a grown man like you.

The key point is that Louis wears several rings on his hands, including three on his left hand. He looks like a nouveau riche, which directly lowers Amley's perception of the overall quality of southern Africans.

At this time, there was sudden movement on the street. Amri opened the curtains a crack to observe, and found that several soldiers from the Southern African Expeditionary Force were running over from across the street.

Louis gave him a questioning look.

"One of our own -" Amri relaxed visibly.

Louis did not relax, he picked up his automatic rifle and pointed the muzzle at the door.

There was a lot of noise going up and down the wooden stairs. When someone came to the door, they didn't knock on the door. They asked for the code first.

"Horns!"

"Sheephead——"

Louis also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the password was correct.

There were several troops participating in the attack on Buda, coming from many different regions. It was impossible for tens of thousands of people to know all of them. Passwords were the most effective way to confirm.

The door was gently pushed open. Louis looked at the familiar black eyes and yellow skin and relaxed completely.

The password may be passed on, but black eyes and yellow skin cannot be faked.

The visitor looked slightly anxious: "Do you have a medical kit? Someone on my side is injured."

Chinese!

Then it becomes even more impossible to fake it.

"Yes, is it serious?" Louis took the initiative to give up the sofa.

"It's okay, we can handle it ourselves -" Staff Sergeant Chen put his gun on his shoulder, turned around and helped the other two soldiers to help a wounded soldier in. It's really not serious. He can only do a simple bandage here, but he still needs to be sent to the hospital.

Go back for further treatment.

"How are you doing here?" Chen He took the initiative to communicate with Louis.

"Fortunately, we are waiting for supplies, and we are almost out of bullets-" Louis took out a cigarette, and Chen He waved his hand to refuse.

On the battlefield, whether you smoke or not, smoke or fire can easily expose you.

"We don't have much left. Is there anything to eat?" Chen He was hungry. The automatic rifle was easy to use, but the bullets were consumed too quickly and couldn't keep up.

Think about it, in order to reduce the logistical burden, the British even installed a magazine blocker on Lee Enfield.

If an automatic rifle fires continuously, 30 rounds of ammunition will be fired in three seconds once the trigger is pressed. Even if it is used sparingly, one base can only sustain one small-scale battle.

In the era of single-shot rifles, the base number of ammunition was 120 rounds.

Semi-automatic rifles are 200.

Now automatic riflemen like Chen He and Lewis have a base ammunition of 300 rounds.

However, in real combat, every automatic rifleman will carry more than one base ammunition, and there is no upper limit. Basically, he can carry as much as he can without affecting his actions.

"Only biscuits and ham -" Louis still had food, so Chen He thanked him and took it.

"Guys, how long has it been since you received supplies?" Amri finally had a chance to interject.

"From last night to now -" Chen He devoured his food. Louis handed over the kettle, and Chen He opened it and smelled it, thanking him.

Louis's kettle is filled with wine.

Amri handed over his kettle, which was finally water this time.

Amri is a believer and does not drink alcohol.

"Old Shen's injury is a bit serious and he needs to be sent to the field hospital as soon as possible -" The Chinese soldier who had just finished bandaging and whose hands were covered in blood sat down next to Klein, his expression and spirit tired.

"Take a rest first, and then start again." Chen He walked to Lao Shen. Lao Shen fell into a coma and was unresponsive. Fortunately, he was breathing.

Being in a battlefield, rest time is a luxury. Before Chen He finished finishing a box of biscuits, intensive gunfire suddenly came from not far away, indicating that the Germans were counterattacking.

Not the Germans, but the servant army composed of Ukrainians.
