The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The 1st Infantry Regiment once again repelled the Soviet attack.

During the break in the battle, Kuhn said to Dominic: "You are right, Sergeant, they are just like you said, they are endless, we seem to never be able to kill them all!"

"What's worse is that we are running out of ammunition!" the baker shouted, "but they didn't send us any ammunition!"

"You know!" Dominic said: "They are more concerned about their own troops, so..."

Dominic's words couldn't help but make everyone feel "thumped" in their hearts. This meant that... the First Infantry Regiment was a forgotten unit on the Eastern Front.

"Captain, is that so?" Werner asked.

"What?" Qin Chuan pretended to be confused.

"Dominic said that!" Werner explained: "We are a newly joined force and may be forgotten by them!

"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because I gave them a few pieces of bread, at least the guys who swallowed the bread must still remember me!"

The soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter, but there was a bit of bitterness in the laughter.

"Woo!" There was a whistling sound of artillery shells in the sky, and then the artillery shells exploded in the surroundings. Several dead trees fell powerlessly amidst the roar of the artillery shells.

After a few minutes, the sound of artillery stopped. Qin Chuan climbed out of the snowdrift and frowned when he saw that the Soviet army did not launch an attack.

The next second, he ran to the command post in a cave dozens of meters behind with his rifle in hand and slid in along the slope of the cave entrance.

"Captain, are things okay?" Colonel Slaine asked when he saw it was Qin Chuan.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan said, "I think we have to retreat!"

"But we didn't get the order to retreat!" Colonel Slaine was helpless.

"It will only be a dead end for us to stay here!" Qin Chuan said.

"Why?" Colonel Slain asked.

Qin Chuan replied: "The enemy did not launch a charge after a burst of artillery fire... This is very unusual!"

Colonel Slain couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. Before, the Soviet army only fired a mortar and then launched a charge, but this time it fired a howitzer without charging. It was indeed a bit strange.

"This means that their artillery has already come up!" Qin Chuan replied: "And it is still gathering. I guess... the artillery shells just passed through were because they wanted to test whether our fortifications were strong enough, or whether we had artillery. Collaboration!”

When Colonel Slaine heard this, he looked at Qinchuan in surprise: "If our fortifications are strong enough, they can only charge. Otherwise, they will gather more shells and artillery to blow us up." Crush?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said, "They have obviously gotten the results they wanted!"

So Colonel Slaine no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"

Of course, the retreat of the First Infantry Regiment was not a sudden retreat... A sudden retreat is not called a retreat, but a "rout". This would definitely be a tragedy on the battlefield, because the enemy's skiers, tanks, and artillery shells Wait, they will soon follow from behind, and the German soldiers will also show their backs in front of the enemy.

What the First Infantry Regiment did was to first fire a row of artillery shells towards the opposite side... The ammunition at this time was very precious to the Germans, but they still had to do it.

While the shells were fired, a few smoke grenades were mixed into them. At this time, the large troops withdrew from their positions, but there were still a few small teams left to fire a few shots in the trenches to confuse the enemy.

After a while, the small unit carefully withdrew from the position... Even if the small unit was discovered by the Soviet army when it was withdrawing, it would not arouse suspicion. It was normal for a few people to retreat from the front line.

Qin Chuan's guess was correct. As soon as the First Infantry Regiment withdrew from its position, there were bursts of violent bombings from behind.

"Quick!" Colonel Slain ordered loudly: "We must enter the woods before they react!"

Colonel Slaine was right, because there was an open space before the woods, and the German army could easily be chased by the Soviet army that followed.

This was not a big problem originally, because the forest was only two kilometers away, and it would only be a matter of ten minutes in North Africa.

But here is the snow, and the thickness of the snow is enough to reach the knees. More importantly, you don’t know what is covered under the snow layer. It may be a pit, or it may be a raised stone, so everyone One foot is deep and the other is shallow, moving clumsily in the snow like a gorilla.

The artillery fire from the rear stopped after ten minutes, and then there was another roar... Those fools in the Soviet Union obviously thought that the German army was staying on the other side of the river, so they launched another charge.

But this was nothing to celebrate for the 1st Infantry Regiment, as they were still half way into the forest.

"Second Company!" Qin Chuan replied, looked at it, and then shouted: "Hide where you are!"

Without saying a word, he lay down in the snow and buried himself.

The soldiers of the second company immediately understood what Qin Chuan meant, and they all followed suit and relied on their own disguises to hide. There were even soldiers from other companies who took the initiative to use snow to help the soldiers of the second company who had flaws when passing by. What a disguise.

Qin Chuan, who was lying in the snow, felt waves of harsh cold coming from around him. Even though he was wearing gloves, his hands were still so cold that he almost lost consciousness. This made Qin Chuan feel a little insecure because it would make him feel uncomfortable. He lost his sensitivity to force when pulling the trigger, which meant his reaction became slower.

But Qin Chuan knew that this was still secondary. What was more important was that a certain part of the rifle would not be unable to fire because it was frozen... So Qin Chuan could only use both hands to protect the bolt part and try to keep its temperature. .

On the battlefield, a rifle is often your life.

After a while, the sound of skiing came from ahead.

Qin Chuan's guess was correct. The skiers were the first to catch up. If the First Infantry Regiment was entangled by this group of skiers and was unable to enter the forest smoothly, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, these Soviet ski soldiers obviously did not expect that there would be people hiding in this piece of pure white snow, and there were quite a few of them.

One by one, they rushed down the slope as fast as they could, and some even held up their submachine guns to shoot in the direction of the retreating 1st Infantry Regiment while sliding down... Bobosa submachine gun, the Soviet army's melee weapon. , during World War II, many German soldiers would rather throw away their MP40 and replace it with it, not only because of its large ammunition capacity, but also because of its reassuring safety in severe cold temperatures.

However, they will soon pay for their carelessness.
