Steel Soviet Union

"Russians! Russian tanks are coming, they are catching up with us!"

"Defense, hold on to this place quickly! Otherwise, if the Russian tractor comes, we will all die!"

"Defense? Are you crazy? The sky is full of Russian bombers, and the bombs are like rain. How do you want us to defend ourselves?!"

call out--

"Bomb, get out of the way!!!"

boom--

The screaming words were still floating in the air before they completely fell. The 500-kilogram aerial bomb that fell straight from the sky ruined everything in an instant.

A loud bang not only completely ended the shouting, but also destroyed the flesh and blood bodies that were trembling in the air raid.

When the impact of the fierce flames and loud explosions completely dissipated, what was left was only the German infantry that showed no trace of a squad, plus a huge smoking crater with traces of a troop transport truck. That was all. .

Similar situations are not just isolated cases. On the entire battlefield shrouded by the bomber group in Figure 2, scenes that are enough to make the German army feel desperate are happening all the time.

It became a luxury to spare energy to resist the onrushing Russian ground troops. The Germans wanted to do this very much, but found in despair that this was simply impossible.

A few or dozens of men alone are not enough to withstand the surging Russian offensive, but as long as the German army tries to gather forces and prepare to unite. Those Figure 2 bombers that have begun to grasp the rhythm of the air attack will swoop down at the right time and drop a 500-kilogram aerial bomb over the heads of the Germans who have just begun to gather, which is enough to lift most people up instantly.

If the German troops are not yet ready to gather in groups and are still spreading out to avoid air attacks, those Figure 2 bombers will not dive and drop bombs. Instead, like an osprey hovering over the water, it refuses to leave, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the Germans to be unable to bear the loneliness and start to gather together again before attacking and starting hunting.

In Figure 2, the bomber still has plenty of remaining fuel, and has enough time to hover over the battlefield and accompany the Germans to consume it. However, the last thing the German army can afford at this moment is time. It is said that the time at this time is comparable to It cannot be overstated that life is just as precious to the German army.

The only result of continuing this delay is to be beaten up by Russian ground troops and either completely destroyed or to lay down their weapons and surrender. But no matter what the outcome is, it is not very good for the German army. Who knows who will go to the Siberian farmhouse? As long as there are other options, no one wants to use the Russians' potatoes as human fertilizer.

But now we have seen this situation. If we want to stop the Russian attack, we must gather together and build an effective defense to withstand the offensive. But once you try to gather together, the result will be death, which is faster than going to a Siberian farmhouse to enjoy a non-return trip, and being killed suddenly on the spot and having your ashes scattered.

Survival or destruction, this is a question worth thinking about, and it is also a truth that is still valuable even if it is repeated thousands of times on the battlefield and in despair.

Do you want to die suddenly on the spot and die as quickly as possible, or do you want to escape from death and leave a slim chance of survival?

Countless German soldiers are thinking about this problem in their minds. Human beings, individual apostles who have swallowed the fruit of wisdom, have never lacked the ability to think independently. What could be more important than this when you are almost losing your life? For some people, the honor and oath of the military may be the answer, but not all people can die so generously.

The first German soldier to put down his weapon and raise his hands was silent. He didn't even ask his comrades if they agreed or if they wanted to do this with him. At this moment, the independent thinking individual just wanted to live, that's all. Simple.

The domino-like chain effect is real. In many cases, as long as the first brave person takes that step and sets an example, humans with a herd mentality will follow without hesitation and take that step. This has been true since ancient times, and it will certainly be the same in the future that is not too far away.

"Malashenko, I know you may find it unbelievable, but the Germans have surrendered again."

""

In the 21st century, when personal social software and real-time Internet communication are very developed, there is an emoticon that is very popular among netizens: an old man wearing a peaked cap is sitting on a subway seat and staring at his mobile phone. He was still squinting his eyes. He must have seen something excessive or unbelievable on the screen, which is why he had such a vivid and profound expression.

At this moment, the No. 177 division commander's command car is located not far behind the Soviet forward troops. He is sitting in his commander's position and holding a radio connected to Lavrinenko's side. Malashenko, who was speaking on the phone, probably had such a vivid expression and was speechless for a moment.

"What did you say? Surrendered again???"

"Well, I'm sure I'm not dazzled or stupid. At least hundreds of Germans have raised their hands. Well, as I speak, there will probably be fifty or sixty more, and they are still increasing, that's it."

""

Malashenko, who was hesitant to speak, seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to speak or say it. He just maintained this "emoticon" face until three seconds later, he finally calmed down. He came to speak to Lavrinenko on the other end of the microphone.

"Should you get out of the car and ask those Germans? I think they may be French troops specially recruited by the Germans. I'm not kidding."

""

There was a blind tone on the other end of the radio, and Lavrinenko seemed to be quite speechless.

"You'd better come and ask yourself. I'm not interested, and my German and French are not very good."

Malashenko could understand that the Germans, who were outnumbered and demoralized, had no intention of fighting. But just a few minutes after the ground battle started, his main force surrendered at the speed of light before his main force could enter the field. What the hell was that? The French are just like that, right?

With strong doubts and confusion, Malashenko led a large force to the battlefield where the smoke was still not clear within a few minutes. The first scene he saw after lifting the top cover of the turret was that one after another. A long line of German prisoners of war who raised their hands to surrender and were escorted together.

What's even more outrageous is that there are at least more than a hundred German prisoners of war in front of Malashenko, but only two Red Army soldiers with guns are responsible for guarding and escorting them one behind the other.

"Hey, comrade!"

Malashenko called out to the soldier closest to the car under him, and then took the initiative to ask.

"Aren't you afraid of problems if you escort so many Germans by yourself?"

The comrade division commander treated his comrades with the same easy-going tone as before. The young soldier looked up at the comrade division commander, rubbed his nose in embarrassment and smiled heartily.

"What are you afraid of, comrade division commander? These Germans are very honest now, and the situation has long been different from before."
