Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 715 The German-Soviet War (55)
Three Soviet soldiers hid behind a collapsed house and discussed nervously.
"Have you made your decision? Don't you regret it?" If this gets out, it will be treason, and their families will also be implicated.
The other soldier looked frustrated. "I'm not afraid of death, but it would be unjust if I was still accused of being a traitor after I died in battle."
His worries are not unreasonable. During the Soviet-German War in the original time and space, "Order 270" caused many unconventional incidents.
For example, Lieutenant General Vladimir Yakovlevich Kachalov, then commander of the 28th Army, had been killed by shelling as early as the Battle of Smolensk and died heroically for his country. However, at that time, the management of the Soviet army was in chaos, and a large number of personnel were in a state of "disconnection." Even generals of Khachalov's level were martyred, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel knew nothing about it. In October 1941, the Soviet army even organized a military court to put Kachalov on trial. He was finally convicted of "treason" and executed by firing squad. It was simply ridiculous. Lieutenant General Kachalov also became a microcosm of the Soviet army in World War II. Throughout World War II, more than 5 million Soviet soldiers were captured. Because there were too many people, the top brass could not manage them.
Another unlucky Soviet general was Major General Ponedelin, then commander of the 12th Army. During the Battle of Kiev, Ponedelin led his troops to resist the German army, but was eventually captured because he was outnumbered. Later, when Order No. 227 was issued, Ponejelin became a "surrender". In fact, Ponejelin was brave and unyielding in the German prisoner of war camp. He refused to reveal any information about the Soviet army, and endured a lot of suffering for this. Unfortunately, Ponedelin, like Kachalov, was turned into a traitor after being tried by a military court, and was deprived of honors and even his medals were withdrawn. After his release in 1945, Ponejelin was imprisoned by the Soviet army and executed in 1950.
The encounter between the two was very embarrassing, even making people dumbfounded.
The three of them have personally experienced similar situations. In a recent battle, they saw with their own eyes that a soldier in the company was hit by a German artillery shell and his whole body was blown to pieces. It was extremely tragic. But that night, the soldier was listed on the list of "surrenderers" because his whereabouts were unknown. They hurriedly reported this to their superiors, but the political commissar just crossed out the name with a nonchalant expression, not even remotely referring to a martyr. The lingering fear of being slandered as a traitor or the reaction to self-blame for negligence in one's work.
Who knows whether they will become martyrs or traitors after they die in battle?
In this way, the three people quickly reached a consensus.
One person took off his white vest, and the other found a long wooden stick, tied it on a white vest and stretched it out.
Just as they were praying frantically that the Germans would never come over with one shot, some broken Russian was heard from behind the ruins. "Put down your weapons and come out!"
The three people quickly threw away the Mosin-Nagant rifles in their hands, walked out of the ruins with their hands raised, and were escorted to the German company commander.
The German company commander kindly gave everyone a cigarette and asked. "Which army are you from? How many people are there in this village?"
Now that they have surrendered, the three of them have nothing to worry about. "We are from the 3rd Battalion of the 313th Regiment of the 103rd Division. There are only our 3rd Battalion in this village."
The German company commander nodded and continued to ask. "Then do you have any heavy weapons?"
"The church in the center of the village is the battalion defense stronghold. There are four M1939 85mm anti-aircraft guns there."
"85mm anti-aircraft gun?" This had to make them a little afraid. After all, their famous 88mm tank gun was improved from the anti-aircraft gun. The anti-aircraft gun could be used as an anti-tank gun when firing flatly. They were well aware of the power of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and were worried that the Soviet anti-aircraft gun shells, which were only three millimeters smaller in caliber, could easily destroy a stalker destroyer or assault gun.
The German company commander passed the news to the destroyer and assault gun commanders.
"That's the church?"
Although it has only two floors, the church is the tallest building in the village, and the spire of the church can be seen from them.
"Those Soviet troops deployed a defense line around the church?"
After asking two questions, a vaguely creepy smile appeared on the assault gun commander's face. "Then let's invite these Soviets to watch the fireworks."
"Everyone has it. One white phosphorus bomb, aim at the church tower, and fire freely."
boom! boom! boom!
More than a dozen white phosphorus bombs hit the spire of the church. The Soviet soldiers around the church stared blankly at these things falling down like white snow, not knowing what they were for a while.
But soon, these things fell on them, and when they came into contact with these snow-like particles, the soldiers suddenly let out heart-piercing screams. The temperature of these particles can reach 1,000 degrees. If they fall on clothes, they will immediately ignite them. If they fall on exposed skin, they will also burn the skin.
The soldiers screamed in pain, rolled on the spot, or covered the burned areas with soil, but to no avail.
The screams of the soldiers reached the church. The battalion commander and political commissar asked in shock as they looked at the soldiers who were rolling and crawling in. "What's going on? What happened outside?!" Just now they felt something hit the church tower, but it wasn't a grenade, it just shook down a few layers of ash.
White phosphorus bombs are very harmful. After they hit an object, they continue to burn until they are extinguished. Therefore, when they come into contact with the human body, the flesh will be penetrated and then penetrate deep into the bones. This tragic situation will not only cause great psychological shadow to the burned person, but also cause great psychological shock to other soldiers. This kind of damage is not only physical, but also causes huge psychological shadow to the soldiers.
The soldiers shouted incoherently. "Burn, it's burning! The fire can't be extinguished! Those white things keep burning!! It's so scary!"
Looking at these almost crazy yelling soldiers, the battalion commander frowned and was about to go out to see with his own eyes, boom! With a loud bang, the stacked 85mm anti-aircraft gun shells were ignited by the high temperature. The shock wave of the explosion swept everything around, and most of the church collapsed.
The most important church stronghold was destroyed, and the remaining Soviet soldiers had no choice but to flee.
The German army took advantage of the victory and pursued it. When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw more than a dozen Soviet tanks approaching in the distance.
"Ready to fight!"
But it was when they saw the Soviet tanks in the distance turning around and running to the other side that they discovered that these Soviet tanks were being chased by several of their own tanks.
The escaping Soviet soldiers were attacked from both sides and suddenly lost their will to fight. The Germans easily drove them back to the village.
