Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 27: Competition of willpower, Soviet and German sides fight, Edward is promoted to captain
The shelling of the 150mm heavy howitzer made the Soviet attack even worse.

Edward lost his friend sadly, and at the same time, after the general found out, he promoted Edward to captain (I remember wrongly, I wrote a split, I will change it later, I can't change the title at the moment, wait until the editor comes back from vacation)
There are six reinforced platoons under its jurisdiction. The so-called reinforced platoons are all 45 people in size, which is a lot more people than ordinary platoons.

One of the mechanized platoons is Edward's favorite. As long as the five half-track armored vehicles are played well, they can achieve quite a lot of achievements.

The battle has reached this point, and Edward already wants to change the entire situation of the battle.

Why would a mere captain dare to say this? It's because as long as he opens the gap, the trajectory of history will start to become cheaper.

Maybe the Germans can get through it?

"Boss, what do you think?"

Mason asked, looking at the expressionless Edward in front of him.

"Take down the tractor factory and let these grandsons be buried with Bucky!"

Edward said in a cold tone.

"No matter what order you give, we will obey it. At the same time, I hope you can stay calm at all times. The lives of our brothers are entrusted to you, because we believe in you and believe that the person who takes us out of hell must be you."

Mason looked at the snow and ice in the sky and said slowly.

"Mason, thank you for your trust. I will lead my brothers to tear through this mountain. Are you ready for the defensive shield I asked you to prepare?"

Edward asked, and after Mason thought for a few seconds, "About thirty oil barrels were sawed open, and only ten defensive shields could be made at most. In addition, I tried it. The submachine gun can penetrate one layer and stop on the second layer. The rifle can penetrate the first layer and stop on the second layer." It can penetrate two layers and stay on the third layer. The machine gun can penetrate three layers. Three layers of sand and gravel wrapped in the gaps between each layer can block the machine gun bullets."

Maybe this is the earliest body armor, and it can also protect against machine guns.

It's just that the weight is a bit exaggerated, but for tall German soldiers, it's still no problem to advance a few hundred meters.

A rope is hung around the neck, and two ropes on either side are tied behind the back.

On his chest hung a strange shield wrapped in thick canvas.

At least it can withstand most bullets.

This gives the soldiers a great sense of security.

In addition, a batch of shotguns will come. The submachine guns are in the front, and the shotguns are in the back for supplementary shots. The area where the tractor factory can build tanks is attacked.

It can be imagined how good these defenses are. Bunkers are also conventional defenses, and there are also more powerful bunkers.

At Edward's order, the soldiers began to attack.

Attacks in other areas have also begun. It can be said that the attacks of several regiments are cooperating with Edward's attack and containing the opponent's operations.

Dense bullets shuttled across the battlefield, while Soviet snipers were constantly harassing the machine gunners.

Soviet snipers killed many German machine gunners.

"Captain, there are snipers on the other side, and many of our machine gunners have been shot dead."

Howard reported this to Edward.

"Inform the artillery to extend the artillery attack back. Find two scouts to observe where the Soviet sniper is. Once you find the position, call the artillery to kill him immediately!"

Edward didn't have that many sharpshooters to deal with the snipers, so he just went simple and crude.

"Yes! I'll make arrangements right away."

Howard immediately arranged for three 80mm mortars to be ready.

The scouts took binoculars and began to observe the location of the Soviet sniper and where the opponent might be hiding.

"Let the artillery bombard these positions"

The scout held a topographical map with an area of ​​one kilometer and marked several local roads.

This is a detailed map of the one kilometer radius of the position they are currently guarding.

After obtaining the accurate coordinates, the mortar crews immediately adjusted and began the bombardment.

Three artillery salvos were fired, and high-explosive shells flew away.

Not even a Soviet sniper expected.

He directly attracted three 80mm mortars in retaliation.

He was instantly drowned in gunfire and died.

It can be fatal for a sniper to stay in one position for too long.

Such large-scale combat snipers are nothing more than cannon fodder.

After taking out most of the Soviet snipers.

The machine gunner's safety has been stabilized.

For attacking troops, machine gun fire is needed to suppress them.A bunker was being attacked and defended, and Mason personally led the attack.

After the Soviet troops in the outer positions were cleared, they directly began to blast the bunkers.

Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the iron gate of the watchtower was blown open.

Two grenades were also thrown in.

The German soldiers hiding behind bunkers immediately lay down.

Boom boom!

There were two explosions, and shrapnel continued to fly on the wall.

The German soldiers raised their heads and raised their MP38/40 submachine guns and fired continuously at the smoke-filled entrance of the watchtower.

Da da da!Da da da!
The Soviet soldier threw another grenade into the smoke.

The grenade hit the ceiling and refracted towards the two German bunkers.

Looking at the grenade falling to the ground, one of the German soldiers also pulled out a wooden-handled grenade and kept it at the door.

Boom!
The two German soldiers who were unable to dodge were directly blown down.

The Soviet soldiers who rushed in were instantly blown away by grenades thrown by the Germans.

Three German soldiers on the second floor rushed down with submachine guns.

The Soviet soldiers at the door also rushed in.

Both sides were pulling the triggers and roaring.

Bullets continued to penetrate the body, and blood continued to spurt out.

Two Soviet soldiers were killed.

Three German soldiers were also killed.

Whoosh!
There was a sound of a rocket tail being launched from outside.

A Panzerfaust rocket headed straight for the Soviet army.

The Soviet soldiers who were unable to dodge were instantly blown into pieces and scattered to the ground.

German soldiers use a Panzerfaust rocket launcher to kill a Soviet soldier.

Pick up the second iron fist and raise it to prepare to shoot again.

He was shot in the head by a Soviet sniper.

His body went limp and fell at the entrance of the watchtower.

The Iron Fist rocket in his hand flew into the tower and exploded.

The huge explosion directly killed all the remaining machine gunners and ammunition operators.

This is a considerable loss for the German army, but there is no way it is like this here.

People kept falling down, and others rushed over.

The two sides held each other at a bunker for seven hours.

The German army has fallen into a crazy mode of output.

He carries the Iron Fist rocket launcher and hits it directly in the face, asking if he is afraid of blowing you up.

The Soviet army was struggling, and so was Edward, trying to defeat the other side first.

Both sides are now consuming their last remaining fighting spirit and perseverance.

The fierce fighting for many days had already exhausted Edward and the brothers.

But if I don't hammer you today, Edward won't be reconciled.

Taking advantage of the strong vitality, he started a hard push. Facing the obstruction of the bunker or bunker, he directly used the rear defense of the half-track armored vehicle to advance directly in reverse.

Following the soldier holding the Iron Fist rocket launcher, he can fire rockets at the opponent's face at any time to greet him.

Now it doesn't matter whether the infantry is infantry or not, just take the guy and say hello.

The general on Edward's side gave the green light directly, and added after the fight, as long as you can fight down here.

　Happy holidays everyone. Please be safe on the way home today. It’s the holiday tomorrow. I’ll be considerate of you these two days. I’ll update the output steadily after the holiday.
