For a ground commander, whether to bombard first or air strike first is not a problem at all, because most commanders will choose to strike first and put the artillery bombardment behind. Whoever has the bomb on their head, the attacking infantry still trusts the artillery who is on the same level as themselves. The forts and fortifications on Leningrad Street were completely destroyed by the bombardment. Immediately, the artillery directly under each division began to carry out secondary strikes to clear the way for the armored forces preparing to attack.
While waiting for the bombardment to be completed, at least on the surface, many forts and fortifications no longer existed. Admiral Paul Hausser looked at his watch, nodded and said, "Start!" As soon as the words fell, fifty black vehicles The tank group composed of Panther tanks rushed out like an arrow from the string. Under normal circumstances, it would take less than ten minutes to reach Leningrad Street, which is no more than five kilometers long, under the full impact of Panther tanks. At the end, in fact, this is exactly what these armored soldiers did. Under the impact of full horsepower, the thick tracks and hard concrete ground even emitted visible sparks.
The deathly silent neighborhood suddenly became lively after the Black Panther tank attack began. It was as if the Dzerzhinsky Division, which had just disappeared without a trace, suddenly appeared behind walls. The T34 tank group, no less than the tanks of the Gendarmerie Division, broke through the wall and rushed out from behind the wall and even from the buildings on both sides of the street, because the engineers of the Dzerzhinsky Division had already opened up the interior of the building next to it.
Even before these T34s could find their target, the 57mm main gun on the turret had already opened fire. Since these T34 tanks rushed out from the side, they were facing the side armor of the Panther tank, so they achieved immediate results. , causing five German Panther tanks to catch fire and lose their combat effectiveness. This is because the Panther tank still continues its historical weaknesses, and its side armor is still weak.
The two sides exchanged fierce fire on Leningrad Street, which made General Paul Hausser very worried, because it was obviously conducive to the accumulation of Soviet troops, so the situation must be opened. In view of this, General Paul Hausser ordered, "To tear open the defensive zone of the Dzerzhinsky Division, we can enter the Kremlin. Today is our decisive battle. We order the regiments of the Gendarmerie Division to concentrate as many armored troops as possible and let them lead their regiments." , led by the battalion commander, stormed into Leningrad! Also contact the Soviet Red Army’s assembly point for bombing by the Air Force!” General Paul Hausser was right, whether it was the Skeleton Division or the Police Division’s attack plan, they had to wait for the military police The division and the Imperial Division could only be successfully completed if they successfully opened a gap from Leningrad Street. If the Gendarmerie Division was entangled here, other plans would have to be shelved.
With the strength of Division Dzerzhinsky, it is too easy to defend a block. Casual attack methods are impossible to affect their persistence. After thinking for a long time, Admiral Paul Hausser could only use his own The contemptible tactic is to use the current temporary strength advantage to allow the Gendarmerie Division to concentrate more troops than the Dzerzhinsky Division, and to use Panther tanks to break through the Dzerzhinsky Division's defense line. To be clear, it is similar to the human sea tactic.
The Dzerzhinsky Division troops on Leningrad Street thought about the German army's offensive method, but they did not expect that the Germans would do this. In their impression, those who fought in this way were usually their own friendly forces, so basically Unprepared, batch after batch of troops were filled in by General Paul Hausser. In just a few minutes, more than 2,000 German soldiers followed the Panther tank group and rushed into Leningrad Street, and Behind them, troops from the Military Police Division were still gathering.
As the most mysterious internal guard force of the Soviet Union, the soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky Division have never thought of retreating, but now they have no choice but to do so. It is like a tug-of-war. The strength of a single person only plays a negligible role now. In order to ensure To ensure sufficient safety, they must keep some distance, unless they want to stage a hand-to-hand battle with the SS soldiers in this era. Even if it is a hand-to-hand battle, they must have time to rehearse the Maginot Square.
Although the Military Police Division is not as outstanding as other units, but with this advantage, they are no different from other SS units. The tension before the war was immediately replaced by fanaticism. They were invincible, regardless of casualties. They regarded destroying the enemy and treating death as their highest criterion. So when I saw the battle started, not only did I not feel nervous, but I immediately followed the armored troops pouring into Leningrad Street. For this reason, their opponents, the Soviet Internal Affairs Forces, certainly would not sit back and die, except for the fact that the two sides were almost the same in terms of armor and soldiers. , even their fighting will is exactly the same, but the beliefs of the two troops are completely different.
In the buildings on both sides of Leningrad Street, the soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky Division shot down with grenades and weapons without scruples. Although the armored troops could withstand the shooting from the front, the danger falling from the sky was only It was up to the military police to react on their own. Looking at the ant-like German soldiers from the sky, the soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky Division were as if they were in a concentration camp, carrying out their work indifferently and efficiently. The killings had already been It has become the instinct of these people, so the soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky Division who set out on the battlefield hardly showed any discomfort with the new unit. They had already done this kind of killing many times in the concentration camp.
Soon, the charging Gendarmerie Division soldiers discovered this danger falling from the sky. At this time, if viewed from the sky, the SS attacking troops looked like a black flood, but they were constantly diverted by tall buildings on both sides. , because these military police had already rushed into the buildings on both sides to prepare for the sneak attackers inside. Battles are not only carried out in the wilderness, but also life-and-death battles in buildings. Neither the Gendarmerie Division nor the Dzerzhinsky Division are characters who care about human life. They usually feel indifferent to death and will naturally despise life. Mentally, they feel that life is nothing more than this. When these people fight, they usually fight with all their strength, because they know that they will die at any time, so they must kill those who may kill them.
This is the battle inside the house, where soldiers from both sides are engaged in what they consider to be the most sacred work, killing...
Here they use all means to put each other to death. Everything God has given to human beings can be used as tools for killing here. They did not hesitate to use grenades in the small room, not caring whether they might die under their own weapons. The high-rise buildings on both sides were constantly performing trapeze dramas, and people who landed from high altitudes immediately turned into flesh. cake. But now, no one can enjoy this rare grand occasion leisurely, because the bloody scenes not only happen indoors, but also outside.
The power of the black sword was demonstrated without scruples at this time. The Dzerzhinsky Division, known as the elite internal defense force, had to retreat steadily under the fierce offensive of the Gendarmerie Division. The division commander Felix Edmund Dovi Qi stared at the fighting area not far away with his eagle-like eyes. Before the battle, he already knew that the troops on the opposite side, like his own, were elite troops independent of the regular army. He also let His troops were ready, but he never dreamed that this black lightning, which had become famous in Europe, could not even resist his own troops. Half of the entire Leningrad Street had been occupied by the Gendarmerie Division. Major General Lix Edmundovich felt that he should do something.
"Blast the twelve high-rise buildings on the street that can block Leningrad Street!" Major General Felix Edmundovich made this unusual decision in a cold voice, "Use the remains of the building Block Leningrad Street and notify the 3rd, 4th and 5th Guards Infantry Divisions. After we succeed, cooperate with us in counterattack! Annihilate all the enemies blocking Leningrad Street!"
"Yes, the engineers and soldiers are already ready!" the staff officer with the same indifferent expression said expressionlessly.
When Dzerzhinsky's division was retreating steadily, the engineers who had been preparing for a long time carried out directional blasting on the buildings on both sides of the street. The explosives inside had already been laid, and what was waiting was Felix Edmundovich. Major General's orders. No matter how heavy the hail of bullets is, it can't cover up the sound of these buildings collapsing. Within these buildings, there are soldiers from both sides fighting for a few, but it doesn't matter now, because they will all be smashed into dust along with the buildings. .
The soldiers of the Military Police Division who were within the scope of the collapse of the building were the saddest, because with only two legs, they could not escape from the scope of the collapse. This helplessness did not bother them for long, and they were immediately buried under the building. In the ruins, the collapse of more than a dozen high-rise buildings immediately divided Leningrad Street into pieces. Let alone concentrate on the attack, it was good that they could protect themselves at this stage.
"Holy shit, are these Soviets crazy?" Lin Wei cursed after learning about Division Dzerzhinsky's actions. Although the SS had done the same thing in Warsaw, no one could do such a terrible thing. He didn't want it to happen to him, but now, Lin Wei finally felt the pain of facing this matter. The soldiers who have rushed in are now in a state of isolation and helplessness. Before other troops can open the passage, they can only fight alone. No one knows how long they can hold on, and Lin Wei doesn't know either. It all depends on The offensive of the Soviet Red Army!
