The decisive battle against the Third Reich

There is only one update due to something happening tonight, I will make it up tomorrow, sorry!

Two thirty in the morning.

Just as the Soviet army stepped up its attack on Holm, a hole was carefully knocked out in the sloping ice on the lower reaches of the Lovaj River. Seeing that there was no movement outside, the hole grew bigger and bigger, and then people came from inside. Several German soldiers emerged.

After the German soldiers got out of the hole, they were assigned to each person responsible for checking in one direction around the entrance of the hole. After making sure that they were not discovered by the enemy, they sent a safety signal to the hole.

Then groups of German soldiers emerged from the hole and hid in the snow to wait.

This unit is the first battalion of the skirmishers led by Qinchuan and Gerhard.

The reason why we chose to launch the raid from here is because the Lovaj River turned a corner here, and German soldiers used to call this area the "Hairpin Bay".

Because of its bend, the German soldiers appeared on the west bank of the Lovaj River as soon as they emerged from the hole. This also meant that they could bypass the Soviet attack frontally and reduce the chance of colliding with the Soviet army.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Qin Chuan waved his hand, and the German soldiers got up from the snow and rushed towards the west bank of Holm.

The disadvantage of a sneak attack in the snow is that when you step on the snow, it will make a "clucking" sound. If there are only one or two people, it is not a big deal, but when there are many people, the sound of feet is a bit obvious. Fortunately, the gunfire on the east coast battlefield The noise was somewhat masked by the sound of gunfire and gunfire.

At the entrance of the town, several Soviet sentries gathered together, smoking, chatting and warming themselves by the fire. This was a bit unimaginable to the Germans. They were not even allowed to smoke at night, but the Soviets could be so free.

But this is actually normal.

The most important thing is that the artillery between the two is disproportionate: the Soviet army has an absolute advantage in artillery and sufficient artillery shells. They can fire several or even dozens of artillery shells at any point of fire in the German-controlled area.

On the contrary, the German army was not so heroic, which allowed the Soviet army to light fires in the wild to keep warm.

Of course, there are various reasons for this, such as the poor quality of the Soviet army, poor military discipline, and the fact that the temperature is too low and there is no place to keep out the cold in the field.

But no matter what, this provided the German army with many conveniences.

Gerhard waved his hand, and several German scouts quietly surrounded him from different directions.

It should be said that there are still many skills in the scout's job. For example, right now, the matter in front of me seems simple, which is to kill the three scouts surrounding the fire.

But when you think about it, this is not simple at all.

The first is the problem of how to approach the target silently without being discovered. This is relatively easy to do in ordinary terrain. For example, Qin Chuan stole a chicken under the eyes of the German guards before.

But it is very difficult to achieve this in the snow, because as mentioned before, feet or hands will make sounds when they step on the snow.

Their approach was to make pairs of shoes the size of washbasins...the shoes were made of bamboo and were very light, a bit like a diver's fins.

Needless to say what this does, the scout wears such shoes on his hands and feet and crawls forward on the ground, which can increase the contact area between himself and the ground exponentially, so the scout is actually Walk on the snow without making any noise from stepping through knee-high layers of snow. This allowed them to approach the Soviet sentries silently.

Secondly, there is the issue of how to launch an attack on the Soviet army at a unified time.

What the scouts do is to estimate how long it will take to arrive, and then add a little more time and space. Those who arrive first will wait quietly, and when the time is up, they will suddenly burst into action.

Finally, there is the issue of killing skills.

Compared with the previous two points, this point is actually the easiest part for the scouts... What they are asked to do is to rush forward to the target that they are responsible for only when the time comes, and cover it with one hand. The other hand stabs the target's mouth into the target's heart or lungs from behind, and then everything is over.

The German scouts did a great job. They neatly eliminated the three Soviet sentries, then dragged them to the snow nearby and buried them as quickly as possible. Then they pretended to be three sentries by the fire. Warm up the fire.

If you weren't paying attention, if you looked from a distance, you would actually think that there were three sentries still chatting there. No one noticed at all that groups of German soldiers ducked from the fire and sneaked into the west bank of Holm.

After entering the town, everything became simpler. The Soviet troops in the town were basically not vigilant. When they saw a group of soldiers coming from a distance, they took it for granted that they were their own people, so no one paid attention.

The front is a tannery, but it is now obviously used as a field hospital by the Soviet army. This can be seen from the constant flow of stretchers carrying the wounded and the Soviet sanitary women wearing boat caps and white red crosses running back and forth.

Gerhard and Qin Chuan looked at each other.

Both sides saw the embarrassment in the other's eyes... The wounded and medical soldiers, in principle, could be regarded as something other than war, especially if there were women among them.

Of course, in other countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, medical personnel are still protected by the Geneva Convention, but the Soviet Union refused to join, so this was invalid for it.

But Gerhard and Qinchuan knew in their hearts that the Soviet wounded and medical soldiers were not something "outside of war" or "without danger". They would pick up their guns at any time and shoot in the back of the German army.

So Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go forward and destroy them!"

"Yes, Captain!" Gerhard responded and gave the order to the soldiers.

It was not until the German soldiers approached that a few Soviet female health soldiers saw clearly the guns held by the German soldiers, and they couldn't help but screamed and turned around and ran away.

But it was too late. The German soldiers pulled the triggers and fired rows of bullets... The health soldiers and the wounded fell in a pool of blood one by one. Some people wanted to raise their guns to fight back, but before he could touch the guns, several rounds were fired. The bullet knocked him to the ground.

A group of soldiers quickly rushed to the door of the field hospital and leaned to both sides. They ignited a few grenades and threw them in...

There were horrified screams from a group of wounded Soviet soldiers and medical soldiers, but no one could help them. Just a few "boom" sounds were heard, and a cloud of smoke exploded in the hospital, and the glass of several windows was shaken. It has to break apart and shoot everywhere.

The German soldiers did not hesitate, turned around and rushed in with their guns raised. Then there were gunshots, screams and screams... War is so cruel. If you want to blame it, it is the Soviet army that allowed the Germans to take advantage of the loophole. .

Qin Chuan couldn't bear to see what was going on inside. He left a small force to continue attacking the field hospital, told a few people to pay attention to seizing drugs, especially morphine, and then led the main force to continue attacking in other directions.
