I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 26 Good news one after another

Jingke got goosebumps after hearing this.
Haven't we always been the ones taking the initiative to attack? Why is the enemy starting to fight back?

But now he had no time to think about these things. He shook his head vigorously and shouted at the top of his voice,

"Hurry up and get into position, the Russians are coming!"

The overwhelming artillery fire made the Germans suffer for the first time. The artillery fire was spread over a large area, and the power after the explosion was almost as strong as that of a howitzer, especially the "whoosh" sound, which was even more chilling.

"Be careful, this is a Russian rocket launcher. Although its accuracy is not good, it is very powerful!" In fact, Jingke was also extremely nervous. He had only seen it once at the end of last year.

Although the destructive power of this new weapon against densely packed defensive positions is not huge, the deterrent effect it brings is incredibly great.

He saw his men suddenly disappear in the midst of sparks, followed by a bloody storm of broken bodies. The soldiers who were not affected huddled in the fortifications and shivered, not knowing whether they were frozen or scared.

Looking at the scene before him, he couldn't help but feel sad. When did their powerful German army fall to the point where they could only take beatings without fighting back?
After finally enduring this "beating", the Soviet "Ura" offensive did not come?

How strange.

But after a while, just when everyone thought that the Soviet army was just bluffing, the Soviet rockets came again, and the whole place was blown up again.

If we withdraw the troops rashly, what if the Soviet army launches a real charge?
In this way, Jingke and his troops suffered a lot from the northwest wind on the defense line. By the afternoon, the Soviet army still did not launch an offensive, which made them feel very discouraged.

So they hurriedly cleared the corpses and broken pieces of meat in the position. Many wounded and sick soldiers froze to death on the position because they did not have time to evacuate.

With such low morale, it was naturally impossible to launch any shitty offensive. Jingke could only leave a very small number of people on guard at the position, and most of the others returned to the train station to rest.

After several months of fighting, his regiment has been reduced to only more than 300 people. The original structure has long been disrupted. Except for a few lieutenants who are still familiar to him, most of the others are strangers.

I wonder how many of these young soldiers who have traveled thousands of miles from the empire’s homeland to “earn military merit” can return home alive?

Thinking of this, Jing Ke suddenly remembered what his commander had said to him: "You must take a plane back as soon as possible."
Not really? Although the German offensive was frustrated, the Sixth Army still had hundreds of thousands of troops! This was the most powerful mobile corps in the Empire! Would they be annihilated?
He still didn't want to believe it.

"The commander must be under too much pressure!" He said self-deprecatingly, more like he was cheering himself up.

While the German troops were being bombed and freezing on the battlefield, Lin Chen and his men had a rare day of relaxation in the building, enjoying the fine meat delivered from the rear.

Since the Battle of Stalingrad, everyone has been eating cold bread, and sometimes even this cannot be guaranteed. Only recently has the situation begun to improve, especially after the Volga River froze, the supply capacity has been greatly enhanced. The Red Army soldiers in neat formations and high morale went to the front line, and there were also a large number of equipment and resources, which made everyone full of confidence in winning this great battle.

"I have good news for you all!" Chernogolov had just returned from receiving the supplies and was in high spirits.

"What news?" Everyone gathered around immediately, even the soldiers in charge of several firing positions in the building pricked up their ears to listen.

Chernogolov deliberately said loudly, "This morning, our three armies (the 3st Guards Army, the 1th Tank Army and the 5st Army) launched a powerful assault on the German flank! It is said that a breakthrough has been made! Haha, the end of the Germans is coming!"

"Really?" Although he asked this, there was light in Hunter's eyes, and it was obvious that he believed it.

"It must be true. A political commissar in the rear headquarters told me that the sudden artillery attack this morning was caused by our Katyusha rocket launchers hitting the ice on the Volga River! Hehe, it is said that we will soon launch a counterattack!"

Chernogolov became happier and happier as he spoke, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the building also became unprecedentedly high.
Everyone had only one thought in their mind: "These hard times are finally over! We must let those Germans on the other side have a good taste of our might!"

"Lin, we really have to fight back!" Pavlov shouted to Lin Chen with a smile on his face.

"Well, yes, I estimate that the offensive in the south is about to begin. The defenders on both wings of the German army have been almost completely defeated by them. Now facing our thundering attack, they will surely be broken through soon. Next, this arrogant Sixth Army will be surrounded here by us, and then we don't need to attack. Hundreds of thousands of people, how much food will they need every day? They are finished!" Lin Chen was familiar with the outcome, so he spoke calmly.

But these words were like a thunderclap to Pavlov's ears.

"Are you saying that the elite German troops on the opposite side will be trapped and killed here? This is the Sixth Army, known as the backbone of the German army!"

"I'm just guessing. Their little mustache guy will never allow the German army to retreat. This can be seen from the Battle of Moscow last year. If they are unwilling to retreat, their two wings cannot be protected, and their air transport capacity is far from enough, how can they survive? So I think we should try our best to attack the enemy's heart first and then the strong attack!"

He looked around and whispered to Pavlov, "These soldiers are still very young. If we attack with all our might, the Germans will surely fight like a trapped beast, and our casualties will be considerable. Don't you want to lead these soldiers into the Reichstag in Berlin?"

After listening to Lin Chen's heartfelt words, Pavlov also fell into deep thought.

They didn't care much about the casualty rate of their attack, but after so many days and nights of fighting and killing in this building, and witnessing countless young men fall, even the coldest heart would ache. He had to be responsible for his soldiers, and behind every soldier was a happy family.

"Where are you going?" Pavlov suddenly saw Lin Chen find a white cloak and walk outside. It was snowing heavily outside and it was almost dark.

"The German army has been tormented by our rocket launchers for the whole day. I'm going to add some food to them! This way their nightlife will be more exciting!" Lin Chen smiled evilly.
