USSR 1941

The convoy galloped all the way south, and arrived at the destination connecting bridge in ten minutes.

In fact, the German army has always had the opportunity to intercept the Soviet army.

The Warren Fortress was originally a residential area, but because the war required the Soviet army's defenses to continue to expand...

This can be said to be the need for the evolution of warfare:

During the Cold Weapons Period, only a central fortress was enough, and moats were dug around it, and there was basically no army that could break through it.

With the advent of hot weapons, cannons can easily drive shells into the central fortress, so it is necessary to expand the fortress so that the range of the cannon is not enough to threaten the central fortress.

This approach worked at first, because the old artillery had limited range, and expanding the fort did serve its purpose.

But as the range of the artillery gets farther and farther, and the bombers can calmly drop bombs on the central fortress, no matter how they expand, they can't stop the enemy's bombing.

As a result, most forts have gone through this process: forts, outspread forts, and then abandoned to become a troop rallying point.

The Warren Fortress in the south is the result of the expansion of the Brest Fortress. It is characterized by dense and diverse buildings.

This means that the German army only needs to place a few machine guns in the buildings on both sides of the street, and it is possible to block the defenseless Soviet convoy halfway.

The problem is that the German army at this time did not know the Soviet army driving these cars... They thought that the Holm Cable Bridge was still under the control of the German army, and these cars were German cars, so of course they were Germans.

This allowed the Soviet convoy to traverse the entire Warren Fortress without any danger, until the convoy reached the bridgehead of the connecting bridge.

"Comrade Major!" The signalman sitting in the co-pilot's seat reported to Major Gavrilov in the rear compartment: "The Germans have set up checkpoints on the connecting bridge, as well as machine gun positions!"

Major Gavrilov ordered without thinking: "Rush over!"

Of course, you have to rush over. These checkpoints are used to check documents. The Soviet soldiers didn't even change their uniforms and helmets. It was impossible to get past the German inspection.

"Yes!" The communicator responded, turned his head and conveyed the order to the driver: "Speed ​​up and rush over!"

As he said that, the communicator brought out a submachine gun...it was an MP40 submachine gun seized from the Germans.

Although the Soviet army also had submachine guns, they had very little equipment at this time, and the space in the driver's seat was too narrow to use long guns, so they were equipped with MP40 seized from the warehouse in desperation.

The driver let out a "huh", but did not accelerate according to the command. Not only did he not accelerate, but he also had a tendency to slow down.

The communicator looked at the driver suspiciously, but he quickly understood what the driver meant and kept quiet.

The driver's approach is correct. At this time, the German army is far away from the convoy. Premature acceleration will only arouse the suspicion of the German army and make them prepare for battle in advance.

It's another matter if the driver slows down... The German army can't see the Soviet army in the car under the light of the car lights, that is, they can't find any abnormalities, then the car can approach the enemy as close as possible.

Things really happened as the driver thought. Seeing that the convoy slowed down, the German soldiers relaxed their vigilance. A German soldier came out of the sentry box, waved a flashlight at the convoy a few times to signal the convoy to stop. He even had a cigarette in his mouth, with a rifle on his back. Another German soldier flipped through the book to see if there was a report from this convoy.

At this moment, the driver slammed on the accelerator and the engine let out a beast-like growl, and then the car rushed forward at full speed.

The German soldier didn't even understand the situation, he yelled and cursed at the car, but soon he found out that he was wrong, because a submachine gun had been extended from the passenger seat, and then there was a burst of gunfire Afterwards, the German soldiers immediately fell in a pool of blood.

Other German soldiers realized that something was wrong when they heard the gunshots.

Quickly grab the rifle from your back or pounce on the machine gun position...

But it was too late to react at this time.

With a "snap", the car broke through the crossbar blocking the bridgehead and rushed onto the connecting bridge, revealing a bunch of muzzles on the rear compartment.

"Bang bang..." After a burst of gunfire, the German troops guarding the bridge fell down in pieces. Occasionally, a few smoked grenades were thrown from the car, causing the German troops to be routed and looking for cover.

Shulka's car was fifth in line, so when he saw the battlefield there were mostly dead bodies.

However, Shulka still found his target. A German soldier lying on the ground pulled a grenade... Originally, he could have escaped as long as he was lying on his stomach, because the Soviet army could not distinguish the ground from the fast-moving cars. Which one is alive and which one is dead.

But the flash of the grenade gave him away.

Without thinking too much, Shulka pulled the trigger and fired the bullets of the submachine gun at the large position until the remaining twenty rounds of bullets in the drum were all emptied.

This is one of the reasons why Shulka doesn't like to use a submachine gun. It relies more on the surface of the bullet, that is, more bullets to increase the probability of hitting the target. This has a lot of luck.

Shulka doesn't like to rely on luck all the time. He hopes to control his own destiny, although this is not realistic on the battlefield.

This time, however, Shulka still hit the target, because the grenade exploded in a German trench instead of blowing up a car in the middle of the road.

A similar fight soon took place on the other side of the connecting bridge.

Although the gunshots from one side of the connecting bridge had already warned the German army on the other side, the length of the connecting bridge was only more than 100 meters, and it only took a few seconds for the car to rush to the opposite bank at full speed.

At this time, the German soldiers on the other side only had time to turn around and grab their rifles. When they saw a car rushing towards the bridge with its headlights on, they didn't even dare to shoot easily... because they didn't know this car Whether the car is the enemy or one of your own who is fleeing.

Then, gunshots rang out again, and grenades were thrown to the side of the road like raindrops along the inertia of the car.

Only one of the cars had a problem... Maybe the driver was hit by a stray bullet, and the car didn't know the direction and rushed directly to the trench built by the German army with sandbags on the side of the road, unable to move.

The surviving Soviet soldiers jumped out of the car and fought with the Germans without saying a word.

Major Gavrilov shouted the order: "Go on, go on..."

This order was correct. The Soviet army was alone and there were only more than 500 people left in the army.

On the other hand, the German army, which is good at "blitzkrieg", responded quickly. Once it stopped fighting, it was very likely that it would be entangled by the German army and never leave.

Therefore, they can only leave those fighters alone.
