Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 2212 The dinner is served

War can change many things, including turning normal people into madmen.

The crazy German soldier did not choose to fire on his comrades, but took out his gun and pulled the trigger to end his own life.

No one knows why he finally chose to do this, and there is no way to ask. The corpse cannot speak aloud. It was taken away to that world like an eternal secret.

Does anyone care?

Maybe, but there will never be an answer.

Everything will come to an end here, just like the warm body with bleeding head will soon be covered with snow and hidden, it will not be long before it will be forgotten and become the countless victims in this world war that is sweeping the world. There are so many forgotten individuals and stories that no one will ever remember again.

The second lieutenant was shocked by the scene in front of him for a few seconds and was speechless for a long time, but this was only temporary after all.

The second lieutenant returned home after a while. His face was expressionless, and of course he didn't say much. He looked at everything that happened in front of him as if it was a normal thing. He leaned down and touched the corpse with bleeding head, and found the suicide note and identification he carried with him from the lining of the clothes, and then hurried away without any nostalgia.

The living are more important than the dead. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is not even time to deal with the corpses. The delay in collecting the corpses of the dead may cost the lives of the living.

The arrival of Russian air attacks usually meant that their ground forces were not far away, which was often the case. The Russians like to use air strikes, bombings and artillery barrages to prepare firepower and disrupt the German deployment before launching a large-scale ground assault, so as to use a torrent of steel to penetrate any German defenses they come into contact with.

Knowing that this was not the end of the nightmare but just the harbinger of it, the Germans did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly gathered the remaining usable items and the wounded who were still alive after the air raid, packed them into a truck, and prepared to continue on the road.

"It's quite fast. These fascists are getting ready to go back on the road. Do you want to give them a ride?"

Alsim and the tank platoon leader were still lying down in the snow nest on the small slope, always observing the enemy's real-time movements.

Facing the inquiry from the platoon leader next to him, Alsim put down the telescope in his hand and spoke without even thinking.

"It's almost time. Go back and tidy up and prepare for battle. Give these German guys a hard blow! We must drag them until the main force of the division arrives. Let's go!"

Delaying the enemy does not mean forcibly defending. In fact, with the meager troops and equipment in Alsim's hands, and the lack of any field fortifications and bunkers to effectively rely on, it is impossible to block them head-on. After all, it was a German unit with a division-level organization on paper when facing the enemy's German attack.

Even an ordinary infantry division that had just suffered a face-washing air raid was still a target that Alsim's reconnaissance team could not defeat.

Therefore, to hold back the Germans, we must pay attention to some skills and methods. We must not accept death and exert ourselves to death. We must be flexible and maneuver around, just like Alsim had planned earlier.

"Later, I will lead the infantry chariot up first to attract the attention of the Germans. If they are frightened and afraid to move or are scared away, it doesn't matter. But if they are bold enough to chase after them, then It’s up to you, use the artillery shells to greet them properly, and we’ll get out of the way after we successfully withdraw and rejoin.”

"Then go around to another direction and continue to harass them. Make full use of your mobility advantage. I want these fascist scum to always be on tenterhooks."

"I think this method is feasible, so I'll do as you say."

Alsim, who had withdrawn from the observation point, was discussing countermeasures with the tank platoon leader next to the infantry fighting vehicle. The soldiers beside him had also boarded the vehicle and were ready to go. They only needed Alsim's order to start taking action.

But just when Alsim was about to put away the map, the gunner and commander of the infantry fighting vehicle suddenly opened the turret hatch, emerged from the vehicle, and greeted Al, who was packing and putting away the map beside the vehicle. Sim spoke directly.

"Comrade Captain, radio, Comrade Division Commander is looking for you, come and pick you up."

""

Alsim, who was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the platoon leader and comrade beside him, and found that the meaning in their eyes was basically the same: I'm afraid they won't be responsible for the next battle.

"Yes, Comrade Commander, I am Alsim."

After finishing the direct conversation with Alsim, Malashenko put down the transmitter in his hand, then held the commander's periscope in front of him and began to look in the not-so-distant direction where the battle was about to start and was already close at hand. It was as if the final preparations had been made and ready to go.

"What did you ask about? Is it going to start soon?"

Iushkin's tone sounded like he was quite excited. This was normal. Malashenko had said a long time ago that this boy was one of those people who got excited when he heard about war and was addicted to sex. Now The war is imminent and close at hand, how can Iushkin not be excited?

"The effect of the air strike was confirmed. The Germans were killed and injured everywhere, and a large number of technical equipment and transport vehicles were damaged. The aviation air strike was very targeted, adding a large number of wounded and knocking out as many transport vehicles as possible, further slowing down the retreat of the Germans. , which fits our needs very well.”

"The Germans have just packed up the rags and wounded soldiers and are back on the road. They are moving very slowly. We continue to move forward and expect to engage in battle within five minutes."

"First the enemy's infantry, followed probably by many heavy armored units. After the forwards were changed to rearguards, the German armored units are now probably hanging behind the entire group. This is actually a good thing for us. Seize the time to deploy the troops. Once we defeat these fascists, we'll be done. We'll do our best later and let these scumbags suffer."

Whenever conditions permit, Malashenko will give Iushkin a simple analysis of the battle situation, which will help train and promote Iushkin. Malashenko has always hoped to help Iushkin to the command level in the future. What does it mean to always be the royal gunner for the division commander with the rank of captain? People have to go to higher places, right?

Malashenko had already asked Alsim on the radio not to engage in firefights with the enemy, but to lead the reconnaissance team to retreat immediately to prepare to rendezvous with the larger force.

Later, there may be extremely ferocious firepower directly covering the battlefield. Malashenko does not want Alsim's reconnaissance team to be accidentally injured by his own firepower because it is too close to the enemy. A torrent of steel against flesh and blood will be crushed by heavy armor. The pressure battle is about to begin.
