Imperial Overlord

"Bomber!" Looking at the approaching enemy planes in the sky, the Soviet soldiers on the ground screamed loudly.

They basically did not have much anti-aircraft weapons, and most of the Soviet anti-aircraft guns were lost in the Moscow theater.

Almost two-thirds of the newly produced anti-aircraft guns remained in key areas such as Stalingrad. The rest will be divided among more than 500,000 Soviet troops...

Therefore, the troops that can enjoy the cover of anti-aircraft guns are basically the main force among the main forces.

"Air strike! Air strike!" a Soviet soldier shouted, sounding the air raid siren in front of him.

That harsh sound echoed in the sky again. They had just been attacked by a few Stuka dive bombers a few hours ago, and it wasn't a good feeling.

"Isn't it Stuka?" The Soviet army commander stationed at the front held the pistol on his waist, and put his other hand on his eyebrows and looked up at the sky.

This is the position of the 1st regiment of the 56th Guards Infantry Division of the Soviet Army, and there are 2nd and 3rd regiments next to it, with a total strength of more than 16,000 people.

Although the heavy weapons and equipment are not neat, but in terms of numbers, the divisions with the designation of guards still have an advantage over other infantry divisions.

At this moment, the regiment commander recognized the kind of Stuka dive bomber with seagull wings, but this time it was obviously not the Stuka, but a larger twin-engine bomber.

"It's a horizontal bomber..." He muttered, and an inexplicable unease rose from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, such large bombers were generally used by the Germans to attack cities and large transportation hubs. It is rare to fly to such a field position now.

"Let the soldiers hide! Find a way to find cover! Such a plane may carry bigger bombs, but the bombs are not as accurate as Stuka!" Putting his palm down, he turned his head, the Soviet leader, the political commissar of the enemy plane, said. .

In a short while, the aircraft overhead dropped a series of black spots. Because of the height, the huge bomb was still "small black spots" when it left the bomb bay of the German aircraft.

Afterwards, these little black spots began to grow, and finally became frighteningly large and landed on the Soviet positions.

"Bang!" A bomb smashed into the Soviet trench and stuck in the soft soil, leaving only the rear wing exposed.

The Soviet soldiers looked at the huge bomb at their feet in desperation, with wonderful expressions on their faces.

Just when he finally remembered to step back, the bomb exploded suddenly, spattering countless violently burning liquids.

"Ah!" The Soviet soldier who was sprayed by the flames was drowned in the rolling flames before he had time to let out a scream.

Before the surrounding Soviet soldiers could escape, they were wrapped in the same burning material. They subconsciously struggled for a while before being burned to coke and fell to the ground motionless.

The Soviet soldiers, who were far away from the explosion, watched their comrades near the bomb struggling frantically in the flames, and they felt boundless fear in their hearts.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them to retreat, and the transpired air made it difficult for them to breathe.

Oxygen was consumed violently by burning, and people near the fire began to suffocate due to lack of oxygen. Because there are too many flames burning here, the number of people who were suffocated to death by the Soviet army also began to increase.

Even if there is still room to breathe, the lingering flames that linger after sticking are still reaping the lives of nearby Soviet soldiers.

The position held by an infantry regiment was completely destroyed in this explosion and burning.

"It's the new weapon of the Germans! It's the kind of new bomb that was used on a large scale in Moscow!" Putting down the telescope, pointing at the thick smoke billowing in the distance, the commander of the 6th Tank Division of the Guards gritted his teeth and roared.

It has long been no secret that the Germans have invested in new weapons in Moscow. At that time, Moscow had just been surrounded and was far from chaos, so a lot of information about the German army was sent back.

And the new weapon that blocked Moscow's communication line and finally completed the encirclement of Moscow, naturally became a terrorist existence known to the Soviet army.

Since the German army went south, the Luftwaffe has not used this weapon. Zhukov was even fortunate. He once thought that this kind of weapon was more difficult to produce and the number of the German army would not be too much.

But now, seeing that his forward position was burning under the attack of this "not new and new weapon", the division commander of the 6th Tank Division of the Guards couldn't help but be confused.

"What about the 56th Division of the Guards? That's their position. Can we contact them to confirm the damage?" He looked at his liaison officer helplessly and asked.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Master! We have been trying to contact the 56th Division, but we can't get in touch!" The liaison officer said helplessly.

Thick smoke was still billowing on the ground, and the flames could not be extinguished naturally for a while. The wheat fields had been lit long ago, and the thick smoke that covered the sky blocked the sight in the sky.

The German bombers were returning, but they couldn't see where they had bombed.

It was now covered in thick smoke and not even a shred of the ground could be seen. Likewise, on the ground, the sky above cannot be seen at all.

In fact, no one will look up at the sky above. The Soviet troops on the position were either burned alive or suffocated in the thick smoke.

The headquarters of the 56th Guards Infantry Division was also bombed and is now in flames.

In addition, the position of the 1st regiment was also heavily damaged because it was on the bombing route. Almost 2ooo people died in direct German napalm attacks.

Among the remaining people, more than 1000 people were injured and had to withdraw from the battle. Moreover, the injuries of these wounded are difficult to control, and 80% of the wounded cannot escape the call of death.

And all of this comes after a question: after losing so many troops ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Guards 56th Division's position, how to defend?

In fact, it was impossible to defend. After being attacked by napalm, the remaining Soviet troops began to retreat.

They had to abandon their original positions and rout in the direction of the 6th Guards Tank Division. The line of defense that was originally going to stand for 3 days was completely collapsed in 4 hours.

And after the flames gradually died down, the Germans captured these charred positions. They continued to push south, towards the city in the distance.

Just a few kilometers away in the direction they were heading in, was the first real line of defense that the Soviets had held, Swoboda.

Not far behind Svoboda is the famous Kursk.
