Chapter 812 German-Soviet War (109)

The German troops that rushed into the church quickly cleared out the Soviet troops on the first floor and rushed to the second floor.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Soviet soldiers who held the second floor held the Thompson submachine guns from the United States and fired wildly at the downstairs. These submachine guns used 50 rounds of large drums and 43mm caliber bullets, and their lethality should not be underestimated. In the European war, France and Britain both ordered Thompson submachine guns from the United States. Unfortunately, before they received the goods, the two countries surrendered one after another; these submachine guns were transferred to the Soviets. For a while, the dense rain of bullets made the German troops downstairs somewhat helpless.

After trying several times, the German platoon leader yelled angrily. "Hans, go find the flamethrower! Burn these bastards to death!!"

Just then a soldier rushed in. "Platoon leader, there is a Jagdpanther outside!"

The German platoon leader was overjoyed. "Great, let it fire at the second floor immediately!!"

"Yes!" The soldier hurried out again.

Soon, the cheetah outside began to roar, and the quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun fired at the second floor of the church. The dense shells penetrated the thick wall of the church, leaving a gloomy and terrifying hole on it. The bricks shattered by the shells formed a scattering like a shotgun. The broken wall fragments flew everywhere, and many unfortunate Soviet soldiers were pierced by these fragments and fell to the ground with painful screams.

"What a terrible firepower!" In the building in the distance, the observer holding a high-power telescope looked at the white smoke filling the outer wall of the church, and couldn't help but sigh. Obviously, the Soviet army on the opposite side also realized the sniper's attack, and no one dared to approach the window, so they could only watch the show here.

After the anti-aircraft guns outside stopped shooting, the German soldiers rushed to the second floor in one breath and began to clean up the remaining soldiers on the second floor.

"Comrade commander!! Comrade commander!! It's bad, the Germans have already attacked the second floor!" On the third floor of the church, a Soviet soldier hurried into a temporary command post and shouted to the officers inside.

The Soviet commander sighed and just pulled out his pistol when dense gunfire sounded outside.

"The Germans are coming up!!"

"Give me ammunition!!" The desperate shouts of Soviet soldiers echoed on the third floor. Many Soviet soldiers had already used up their ammunition and had to defend with grenades or bayonets.

The commander obviously had no intention of surrendering. He rushed out with his pistol, but as soon as he went out, he was shot into a sieve by dense bullets. He fell unwillingly at the door, watching several German soldiers not far away holding a grenade, pulling out the safety pin, and throwing it into this command post.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by several violent explosions, there were more than a dozen bodies in the command post.

Soon, the German flag was hung on the top of the church.

After setting up the sentry post and machine gun position, the platoon leader returned to the first floor and noticed the statue of Jesus in the hall that was completely disfigured by bullets; Jesus' legs were covered with dense bullet holes, his right arm was missing, and only half of his head was left. It was obvious that no one was trying to avoid God when they opened fire.

"It seems that even God can't protect himself in war." The platoon leader casually drew a cross on his chest and muttered.

At this time, a soldier came down to report. "Platoon leader, we found a lot of bodies in several rooms on the second floor. They should be civilians hiding here, who were mistakenly killed by the "Cheetah" shooting."

"Tsk, these unlucky guys." The platoon leader was no stranger to such things. You didn't leave when I asked you to leave a long time ago, but you had to stay and wait for death. Now you got your wish? ! Will Stalin give you a certificate of honor or something? "Let the logistics troops come and clean up the bodies."

This church is a landmark building in this neighborhood and is also a part of the nearby Soviet defense system. Once it was breached, the flank of the Soviet defense line was immediately exposed, and the defense line, which was not very strong to begin with, collapsed immediately.

On the street on the other side, two Leopard tanks advanced under the cover of a group of infantry.

There was a crossroads ahead, and the two tanks slowly stopped, because the vision inside the tank was leisurely, and if they rushed over recklessly, they might be attacked.

The platoon leader following the tank made a gesture, and the two soldiers ran to the crossroads and carefully looked out to observe. There were two T-26 tanks on the left with their guns pointed at this place, while the right side was very safe, and no enemy heavy weapons were seen. The two soldiers ran back and picked up the phone mounted on the butt of the tank. "Two T-26 tanks 150 meters to the left of the crossroads ahead, the right side is safe."

"Received!"

The two Leopard tanks continued to move forward, rushed out of the crossroads, and prepared to use their own armor to resist the opponent's shells. Although the Soviet T-26 had the advantage of first-strike, the pitiful 45mm shells were just a tickle for the armor of the current Leopard tanks. Then, they were turned into a pile of fire by the 88mm tank gun of the Leopard tank.

Just as the two T-26 tanks exploded, a KV-1 tank rushed out from behind the two T-26 tanks, and the black muzzle was already aimed at this side.

"Damn! Armor-piercing shells! Reload quickly!" Seeing this, the commanders of the two Leopard tanks were startled and gave orders almost at the same time. Almost at the same time, a ball of flame had already been sprayed out of the muzzle of the KV-1 tank on the opposite side. At a distance of less than 200 meters, it was almost inevitable that the target would be hit accurately.

The 76mm shell hit the front armor of the Panther tank on the left side hard, making a loud noise, but was bounced to a strange direction by the tilt angle of the armor.

In the KV-1 tank opposite, the gunner clearly saw the straight line drawn by the light of his shell, which folded a strange angle on the enemy's armor. "Damn it! It didn't penetrate! Quick! Armor-piercing shells!" His voice trembled slightly, because he had a hunch that he would not be able to wait for the second shell to be fired.

Sure enough, the German tank opposite was ready. With the commander's order to fire, a cloud of white smoke spewed out from the muzzle of the tank, and the shell drew a beautiful straight line and rushed to the target not far away, hitting its turret.

At a distance of 150 meters, the 88mm shell fully demonstrated its terrible penetration. In addition, the KV-1 tank was not designed to be tilted, and it was simply a foolish dream to fully use the thickness of the armor to resist the power of the 88mm gun. You have to know that in 1945, when the situation in the original time and space was hopeless, the German 88 gun was still a deadly threat, and no one dared to underestimate its power.

Boom!

The KV-1 exploded instantly, and the shock wave of the explosion blew away the turret, and the crew inside was dead.

"Keep moving forward!"
