Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 21 The Battle of Waves ([-])
Soon there was movement in the bank, and more than 90 people walked out in unison.

All weapons were thrown on the ground on the way out.

The leader was a Polish major.

"You're so good, you'll be able to fight without a single blow!"

Lieutenant Ratzel couldn't help but praise.

You must know that this bank is not easy to fight. There are more than 90 troops alone.

There is still a lot of supplies inside, so it won't be a problem even if you keep it for a week.

For everyone, even if such a defense is defeated, it will definitely take off a lot of skin.

"Major please"

Captain Bex looked at Major Poland with a proud smile.

"You bastard, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Major Poland asked with a shocked look on his face as he looked at Captain Bex.

"Did I lie to you? He was the one who lied to you!"

After speaking, Captain Bex pushed the translator to Major Berlin and said.

"You Bichi, I'm going to kill you!"

After speaking, Major Poland was ready to punch Captain Bex with his fist.

Captain Bex was no idiot, he just kicked the opponent in the stomach.

The Polish Major, who was in immediate pain, clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.

"Take this idiot down"

Captain Bex ordered with a wave of his hand.

In this way, the entire bank's defense force was captured without any bloodshed.

There is a 37mm anti-tank gun and 49 armor-piercing rounds in the bank. There are also 3 Maxim heavy machine guns, 7 light machine guns, and [-] submachine guns.

The various bullet supplies are enough for them to stay here for a week.

But they were worried about their lives, so they all chose to surrender.

The roof of the bank alone has a steep slope of 14 meters. It is not that simple to drill holes on it. At the same time, you only need to fire from below.

A soldier who was pouring gasoline outside accidentally gave some to him.

How much gasoline does it cost to light up such a big bank?

The people inside are not all idiots. As long as the gasoline comes down, they will just light the fire.

If anyone dares to continue pouring gasoline into it, it will ignite instantly.

There is no use in releasing poison gas, and the air filtration system inside the bank is not a decoration.

At the same time, more than half of them have gas masks.

After experiencing the horrific poison gas war during World War I.

By World War II, even if not all personnel were equipped with gas masks, most of them had gas masks.

Therefore, this trick is not easy to use. It is entirely because the other party does not want to die and has favorable conditions, so he chooses to agree.

But he also didn't want to think that Bex was just a captain.

How could he arrange for you to become the chief of police here.

You still have all your men, and you don’t have much time to think about it.

Most people did not want to die, so they urged the Polish major to surrender.

Then he surrendered in a daze.

I guess I finally woke up after surrendering.

After solving the situation here, everyone began to move forward.

At the same time, the colonel was also very surprised.

The bank was captured in just one hour without any casualties.

This also made the colonel a little confused.

After carefully reading the battle report, the colonel couldn't help but praise him.

"This exempt soldier is interesting. He just won an Iron Cross Second Class. Are you preparing to win another Iron Cross?"

After reading the battle report, the colonel handed the battle report to the major beside him and said.

"You can win with just a few words. This guy is not simple-minded!" The major couldn't help but praise.

"Based on his merits, he can definitely be awarded an Iron Cross First Class!"

The colonel rubbed his temples.

After all, he remembered the Iron Cross Second Class that had been awarded to William just this morning.

As a result, he will be awarded the Iron Cross First Class at noon.

This made the others think he was cheating when they found out!
"In addition, Bex and Ratzel have both made great contributions, and they both need to be credited."

"Well! Becks can help him apply for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. As for Ratzel, he can award him the First Class Iron Cross this time."

"It's good, that's it."

After some discussion, the two said.

The first-class Iron Cross can be obtained by the regimental headquarters, but the Knight's Iron Cross needs to be reported to the division headquarters.

The major in the regiment personally brought two first-class Iron Cross medals to William and Ratzel.

Ratzel looked at the first-class Iron Cross, and he knew that he had relied on William to get it this time.

Captain Bakers also received news from the major that a Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was on the way to be applied for.

I believe it won't be long before Becks will be awarded a Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have received this Iron Cross First Class!"

Ratzel looked at the Iron Cross First Class in his hand with excitement and thanked him.

William smiled and hung the Iron Cross First Class under his shirt without saying anything.

In other words, an Iron Cross medal can be hung in the place where the tie is worn.

The top soldiers who followed him into the army all looked at William with trembling envy.

In one day, the Iron Cross [-]nd Class and the Iron Cross [-]st Class were awarded.

This is simply the most awesome one in the entire history of the German army.

After the battle in the entire city came to an end, it was handed over to the infantry and SS in the rear.

As mechanized infantry, they started again and headed towards Poznan.

This is an important town in southern Poland. Poland deployed three infantry divisions, a cavalry division and an armored division in Poznan to block the German front.

As a whistle sounded, the half-track door opened.

Boxes of supplies began to be moved into the carriage.

Then the soldiers began to enter one by one, and finally the squad leader closed the compartment door.

The machine gunner mounted his machine gun and chatted with everyone.

Almost everyone else lit up cigarettes and chatted and laughed.

In this way, everyone embarked on the journey again, arriving at the outskirts of Poznan in the afternoon.

Overhead, air forces roared past for the final round of air strikes of the day.

In the distance, Poznan was already in flames and filled with smoke.

The smoke in the setting sun obscured a lot of scenery.

The terrifying roar of a Stuka dive bomber.

Every dive carries a scream of death that makes one's hair stand on end.

The last thing dropped from above was a 50kg aerial bomb.

This powerful explosion is no less powerful than the explosion of a 155mm heavy howitzer.

As for the early German pilots, they were all top-notch.

It can be accurately thrown into the trench and detonated.

Some pilots dive down with only a few hundred meters left before pulling up.

It was just an aerial bomb that hit the enemy on the forehead.

Every air raid is accompanied by death.

"Blow up these bastards!"

The soldiers on the half-tracks waved their fists and looked to the sky and shouted.
