USSR 1941

"Would you like a sip?" Okunev secretly handed Shulka a bottle of Vodka, which Okunev snatched from the officers' mess...before it was blown apart.

"No!" Shulka shook his head, he needed to keep a clear head.

"Don't care what they say!" Okunev said: "They are using this method to declare their courage, and the real brave people don't need to and will not do it at the same time!"

"I know!" Shulka replied, and at the same time looked at Okunev unexpectedly. He couldn't believe that Okunev would say such philosophical words.

However, he was handsome for less than three seconds, and the next sentence Okunev revealed: "I said not bad, the lines of "Liberation"!"

"Oh, yes, it's really good!" Shulka replied.

Okunev nicknamed "actor", which is also his dream.

By this time the Germans had lost patience.

"This is your last chance!" A shout came from the loudspeaker: "There are still ten seconds, give up resistance, or we will launch a final attack on you!"

There was silence for a while and there was no movement, and then there was a countdown: "Ten, nine,... three, two, one!"

As soon as "one" was counted, the whistling sound of shells rang in the air.

Shulka bent down instinctively to protect his lunch box... Soon he knew that this approach was wrong, he should not protect the lunch box, but should stuff all the food into his mouth as quickly as possible. Later, he knew that a more mature approach should be to throw away the lunch box and grab the rifle to hide.

"Boom" With the explosion of shells, dirt and dust swept from the air like a sandstorm, and then the German bombers joined in the bombing... The Germans installed a bomb on the front of the "Stuka" bomber. There is an air-driven sounding device, nicknamed the "Jericho Horn", which allows it to emit a piercing scream similar to an air-raid siren when it dives.

Although this generating device would actually affect the flight quality and speed of the "Stuka", the Germans insisted on doing so.

Their goal was obviously achieved, because the Soviet soldiers below, including Shulka, couldn't help their feet becoming weak when they heard the whistle.

In addition to the bombs dropped, the Germans also installed sound whistles on the bombs, so that when they fell from the air, they would make another slender whistling sound.

The sound is always from far to near, and then there is a loud "boom"...

This is simply a nightmare for the Soviet soldiers who endured all this on the ground, because they always have the illusion that the bomb is falling directly above their heads towards their position.

This caused many Soviet soldiers to jump up and run from their hiding places... They didn't all run away, in fact, most of them moved without a target to avoid being hit by bombs.

Shulka had the same urge, but he did everything in his power to stay where he was.

Because Shulka knew one thing clearly: the probability of shells or bombs hitting people directly is very small, and what is more lethal is the scattered shrapnel and the oblique shock wave.

Therefore, regardless of the storm and stormy sea outside, Shulka only knew to keep his body down and stay where he was.

Of course it was right to do so, because in the smoke and flying dust, Shulka could often see the running Soviet soldiers being thrown into the air.

I don't know how long it took before the sound of the cannons stopped. Shulka took out the lunch box under his body and took a look... Mashed potatoes are still mashed potatoes, but there is more soil and mud, and the beans are no longer visible.

Looking up again, I couldn't help being scared to death. Less than one meter away from me, there was a big gasoline barrel lying in the trench... It was obviously dropped by a German bomber, but luckily it didn't Be blown up, otherwise, nothing will happen to Shulka.

Okunev also crawled out of the mud at this time,

After seeing the gasoline barrel, the two of them ran for dozens of meters along the side of the trench with their guns in their hands. After thinking about it, they felt that it was not enough, and they ran another dozen meters... The gasoline barrels on the battlefield will always be on the battlefield. Detonated, they don't want to be burnt to Burning Man.

"The enemy is coming!" Someone yelled.

This is not surprising, the Germans have attacked several times. The strange thing is that there was a "rumbling" sound of the engine in the gunpowder smoke.

At first Shulka thought it was the tinnitus after the bombing, or the sound of German cars and armored vehicles.

Until someone yelled in horror: "Tanks, German tanks!"

Shulka took his eyes off the front sight and looked up a little, and sure enough, he saw several huge vehicles slowly driving out of the smoke. It adds a bit of power.

6 road wheels, "No. 3" tank, a total of three.

Shulka believes that the reason why the Germans have not used tanks against the Brest Fortress until now, and there are only three, is because their main armored force has bypassed the Brest Fortress and went straight to their first target city: Minsk.

The leader of this armored force is Guderian, known as the "father of armored soldiers" in modern times.

Shulka is very lucky for this... Guderian's armored troops did not crush Brest but bypassed it, otherwise Shulka would probably be just a piece of meat on the track of its tank.

But now it seems that there is no difference, because the Soviet army in the Brest Fortress is seriously lacking in anti-tank equipment.

As I said before, the ammunition depots of the fortress were bombed by the German army in a large number at the first time, and the few artillerymen also lost their casualties in the subsequent artillery battles and bombings, so the Soviet army only had some light weapons... …they didn’t even have anti-tank guns and anti-tank grenades.

These light weapons may still be effective against the charge of the German infantry, but they are obviously powerless against the 37MM thick armored "No. 3" tank, which can also be seen from the dead silence in the Soviet trenches.

At some point, Major Gavrilov was already in the trench. He looked at the tanks with his binoculars, and immediately ordered: "Organize a blasting team!"

Everyone knows what the blasting team means, that is to use explosives or cluster grenades to blow up tanks at close range.

This method may indeed be feasible, but it is conceivable that the well-trained Germans, especially experienced in infantry and tank coordination, would not let Soviet soldiers approach their tanks easily.

As a result, the situation on the battlefield suddenly became very serious... The Germans were not lying, it seemed that this was indeed the "final offensive".
