The high-decibel noise combined with carpet bombing pushed the Red Army soldiers to their psychological and physical limits. In particular, the dive bombing and shrill screams of the Stuka dive bombers made these soldiers even more frightened. These Red Army soldiers can become very brave within a certain period of time, but under certain conditions they can also become very cowardly. The physiology they had gained immediately was wasted, and the soldiers' faith suddenly collapsed. This Once they encountered a bombing by the Luftwaffe, they suddenly fell into chaos of retreat.
Of course, the Dzerzhinsky Division, which is an internal security force, would certainly not make such an attempt to escape. Not only would they not, but within a certain period of time when a rout occurred, they would immediately reveal the main mission of these internal security forces, clean up. traitor! After being unable to stop the retreat of the Soviet soldiers, the commander of the Dzerzhinsky Division, Major General Felix Edmundovich, immediately ordered, "Clear out all traitors!"
The orders of Division Commander Felix Edmundovich were carried out without reservation. The Red Army soldiers were still running away in a panic. The Dzerzhinsky Division soldiers wearing black military uniforms had calmly built a defensive line. At the same time, the Bobosha in their hands was already aimed at the fleeing soldiers. The order was executed meticulously, at least among the soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky Division. Their eyes when they looked at these people who had just been comrades-in-arms no longer had any human emotions. Clean out the traitors? The internal security troops have done this too many times, and it is as familiar to them as eating and sleeping.
Click, click, click..., a group of Bobosha made clear gunshots, and immediately knocked down the soldiers who were about to retreat. A commander with the rank of major stood up and said sternly, "When the fascist army is raging in our capital, you actually want to escape? Traitors of the country! You are not qualified to live in the world!"
The cold words revealed the shocking danger. For a moment, these collapsed soldiers instantly forgot about the German fighter jets that were still following them and strafing behind them. Explosions and screams are still ringing out, but these dangers still do not allow the defeated soldiers to cross the cordon of the Dzerzhinsky Division. For the internal defense troops, the Red Army, especially these newly expanded Red Army troops, has a certain This natural fear, under the leadership of three generations of Yagoda, Yenov, and Beria, Beria's internal security forces have successfully formed a psychological barrier in the eyes of ordinary Red Army soldiers. The soldiers did not dare to resist these internal guards wearing black military uniforms because they knew the consequences of doing so, and even their own family members might be exiled.
Not long after, the powerful action of the Dzerzhinsky Division once again had an effect. These soldiers were piled together but did not dare to cross the cordon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Many people could feel the anger and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the people next to them, and they knew If they could take a step forward, they could leave the cruel battlefield, but they did not do so. Their legs were nailed to the ground like nails.
"Go back and continue fighting, or die here!" the major stepped forward and said coldly, and at the same time, rows of sparse gun bolts were fired along with the major's voice. Obviously, these soldiers were asked to make a choice, or die on the battlefield. Or be shot. Looking at the bodies of the soldiers who had been shot just now, the resistance that everyone had just raised was extinguished again. If you must die, it is better to die on the battlefield.
It only took more than ten minutes for the Dzerzhinsky Division to successfully force these broken troops to go back to fight again. However, during this time, eight Stuka dive bombers had already dived into the last ruins that intercepted the SS. During the bombing, six high-explosive bombs successfully hit the collapsed rubble, finally allowing two Panther tanks to pass side by side, but this was enough.
When the first Panther tank rushed out of the rubble, it also brought out a pile of cement fragments. Although it looked very bad, the reappearance of the German tank gave the attacking troops who only had more than 300 people a huge confidence. . As long as our armored forces were by our side, it didn't matter, everyone thought.
It was in these ten minutes that the German Air Force's dive bombers risked accidentally injuring their comrades and used large aerial bombs to blow up the collapsed building blocking the two troops into two ends. The armored troops who had been waiting for a long time were in the passage. The moment he was opened, he drove his tank through the uneven passage with cement fragments falling down from both sides. One, two, three... As if fearing that the attack route would be blocked by collapsed buildings again, General Paul Hausser mobilized seventy-two tanks in one breath. The tanks that passed in front had already fought with the returning Red Army. At this time, the tanks behind were still turning left and right in the blasted channel. Although the isolated troops suffered heavy losses, fortunately, Paul & Hausser finally got in touch with these troops before they were completely annihilated, otherwise the SS would have been the first to be annihilated as an organic unit. The army may have unfortunately fallen on the first armed force established by Lin Wei.
More and more German tanks rushed out of it. The Soviets' attempt to annihilate this German force was no longer there, and the German armored forces that re-set immediately gave their insidious enemies a modest warning. Since the Katyusha rocket launchers have been used up, most of the anti-tank weapons of the Soviet Red Army did not pose much of a threat to the Panthers. The armored soldiers who did not feel the threat were almost too lazy to fire and chased these Red Army soldiers at full speed. Tanks are restricted in street fighting, but there are always two unlucky guys who will become the dead souls under the tracks. This may be the Soviet soldier's least favorite way to die. It is really disgusting.
"Immediately have the police division and skeleton division prepare to attack from the surrounding neighborhoods and seize the airport, sports ground, racetrack and train station!" The situation on the front line had just eased, Lin Wei immediately ordered impatiently, "Two generals, can If you cannot establish the necessary buffer zone for the gendarmerie division to storm the Kremlin, it’s up to you!”
Following the offensive line of the Gendarmerie Division, the two divisions that captured various points around Leningrad Street also set out. However, this German attack seemed very low-key. Apart from a few mortar shells, there was no artillery support, but a large number of assault troops poured into the defense zone established by the Red Army like a tide. Soon the Red Army on guard discovered these "intruders". With a shout in Russian and a burst of submachine gun fire, a brutal street battle officially began.
Although the SS had an absolute advantage, facing this street fight, they had superior numbers and firepower, just like a boxer with a strong body facing a ball of plasticine. Every room, every window, every corridor, and even every sewer has become a murderous battlefield. The well-hidden Soviets appeared like rats from places where it seemed impossible to ambush, shooting at them with weapons in their hands. Often when an inexplicable gun battle ends, most Germans still don't know that the Soviets are there to attack them. Landmines and various well-concealed explosives can be seen everywhere. Often one bad move will lead to a trap. There may be Soviet snipers hiding in the dark houses. These sharpshooters can hit moving targets at long distances.
Although difficulties exist, they cannot stop the SS's determination to attack at all. Even the most sophisticated use of guerrilla warfare and street fighting cannot offset the SS's huge advantages. These tactics can cause the SS to pay huge casualties, but when it comes to blocking The SS's advance speed was far from enough.
In the battle for control of Leningrad Street, the duel between the Gendarmerie Division and the Dzerzhinsky Division continued. More and more Gendarmerie Division troops entered from the passage. Regardless of weapons, soldiers, and combat qualities, Germany occupied With the obvious advantage, the Dzerzhinsky Division alone could no longer stop the Gendarmerie Division's advance.
Division Commander Felix Edmundovich knew that the situation was over and had to call his superior Beria to report, "I'm sorry, leader. At this point in the battle, we can no longer stop the German advance. To be honest, now There is nothing that can stop them!" The other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said slowly, "How long can we resist?" Beria said hesitantly. To be honest, Beria was very afraid of hearing the exact details. time, but the current facts force Beria to make some preparations.
"Two hours!" Division Commander Felix Edmundovich gave a less optimistic estimate. The battle had already begun for eight hours. Even if Dzerzhinsky's division was resisting, it could only delay the battle for two hours. For several hours, Commander Felix Edmundovich did not hide this.
"I understand, Felix Edmundovich, remember your two-hour promise!" Beria hung up the phone after saying that, walked around the table twice, immediately put on his clothes, opened the door and shouted "You guys follow me to the Kremlin!" Beria knew that it was time to take action. Stalin must be allowed to withdraw from Moscow. If it were any later, Beria would not be able to guarantee Stalin's safety. . Stalin may even be captured by Germany. If the supreme leader of a country is captured, even the remaining Soviet leaders will continue to resist, which will have a huge impact on the morale of the Soviet people. Think about it, in a country where even its most distinguished leader has been captured, what secrets can be kept
