The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The soldiers only slept for one hour at the Berlin airport.

Needless to say, the reason is that the war situation is urgent and the First Infantry Regiment must deploy to the front line as quickly as possible.

Then the whistle sounded, and an officer shouted outside the dormitory: "Get up, soldiers! You should think about it. When you are falling asleep beautifully, many comrades are dealing with the Soviets' pursuit on the Eastern Front! Every time you waste In a short time, many people on the front line will lose their lives!”

Werner couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Oh, we might also become one of the dead when we go up!"

"Shut up, Werner!" said the baker: "One day we will be in the same situation as them. We should save them!"

"Yes, Sergeant!" Werner replied with a yawn: "I didn't say not to save them, I just wanted to sleep a little longer!"

"You can sleep on the plane!" Kuhn threw Werner the gas mask bucket he had left behind.

"Yes, Lieutenant!" Werner didn't dare to say anything anymore.

German soldiers have a spirit in which they regard the difficulties of other armies as their own.

The transport plane rumbled into the sky again, and this time, each of them got a parachute.

Shortly after the plane took off, many people actually fell asleep as Kuhn said. Qin Chuan is also one of them... One hour of sleep is really too little, and he still needs to restore his physical strength so that he can face the upcoming battle in the best condition.

In his sleep, Qin Chuan only felt that the more he slept, the colder he got. He was woken up by the cold several times, and then continued to sleep. It was not until the roar and shadow of a fighter jet passed by the window that Qin Chuan woke up.

"Are we there yet?" Kuhn asked.

"Where is this?" Qin Chuan asked, looking at the snow-covered land outside the window.

But no one answered because no one knew.

This was not for the sake of secrecy, but because the German command system was in chaos at this time. When the First Infantry Regiment boarded the plane, the High Command had not even decided where to airdrop.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Supreme Command, but the German army was defeated and fled, and no one passed the information to the superiors. This made it impossible for the Supreme Command to know exactly where the Soviets had pursued.

Finally, an order came over the walkie-talkie: "Airborne at Lelot, arriving in five minutes!"

"Be prepared for airborne landing!" Qin Chuan ordered.

As usual, when the red light came on, the soldiers jumped out of the cabin one by one.

The difference was that Qin Chuan felt the strong cold wind blowing from all around the moment he jumped out of the cabin. These airflows penetrated into the body from the collar, cuffs, etc. and quickly carried every trace of warmth inside. His face was quickly frozen, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, making a "gurgle" sound.

After the parachute opened, Qin Chuan immediately took out the gas mask and put it on his head. Only then did he discover that the gas mask had another function... to keep warm.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that many soldiers who parachuted did not realize this, so they suffered frostbite on their faces immediately.

The snow on the ground is up to the knees, so skydiving is not difficult at all. The soft snow can provide a good buffer.

After landing, the new equipment that the First Infantry Regiment put on in Berlin took effect immediately. The white camouflage helmet cloth and white cloaks made the soldiers look like moving snowmen... Each snowman was on the ground. With the parachute closed, it looks very weird.

"Collect ammunition!" Colonel Slaine shouted: "Garrison along the river bank!"

The German soldiers were confused when they heard this order.

"But where is the river, Colonel?" Bazelle asked.

"It's right in front of us!" Slaine looked at the surrounding environment with a map in his hand and said, "Or it's right under your feet! Yes, it has frozen into ice and is buried under the snow. But There is still a low-lying area more than a hundred meters wide in the middle...The Soviets will come from the east, do you understand?"

"Yes, Colonel!" the soldiers answered, found the so-called river bank, and then set up their rifles and machine guns.

Qin Chuan took out his engineering shovel and tried to build a fortification, but soon discovered that this was impossible. It was easy to sweep away the snow layer above, but underneath the snow layer was frozen soil, as hard as cement concrete. When the shovel went down, a few pieces popped up, and it would take hours to dig a suitable trench.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that this was not the case in all places, but because the water here was abundant along the river, and the sharp drop in temperature caused the water and soil in the soil to freeze together.

Therefore, the riverside is actually not suitable for garrisoning because it is impossible to build fortifications at all. But the people in the high command did not know this.

In desperation, Qin Chuan and the soldiers could only use snow to build fortifications: shovel the snow and lay it in front of them, making it as strong as possible.

This can indeed resist bullets, but if a cannonball hits the snow wall... the snow wall will explode and turn into hard shrapnel.

"Oh!" Werner said as he shoveled the snow, "This might be a fun snowball fight game!"

"You might be the first person to die in the snowball fight!" Dominic said.

"Great!" Werner said: "At least I don't have to worry about getting hurt, because when the medic cuts into the wound with a scalpel to find the shrapnel, he will find that the shrapnel has turned into water and integrated into my body! "

"Someone is coming!" With a cry, the soldiers threw away their engineer shovels and immediately picked up their weapons and mounted them on the snow wall. They were ready for battle within a few seconds... This is how the First Infantry Regiment fought in Africa. cultivated reaction speed.

Several rays of darkness stumbled under the gunfire of everyone. Qin Chuan saw clearly through the telescope that they were wearing German military uniforms, but they were so tattered that it was hard to tell.

So he quickly shouted: "It's our people, don't shoot!"

Immediately, a group of soldiers climbed up from the trenches and rushed toward them. The defeated German soldiers were obviously frightened, but when they saw that they were their own people, they were so moved that they were speechless.

The soldiers helped or carried the defeated soldiers over, and several medical soldiers came up immediately to check their injuries.

The defeated soldier asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Is there anything to eat? We are all starving!"

Qin Chuan handed each of them a piece of bread, but the bread was gone as soon as it reached their mouths. They devoured it as if they hadn't eaten in several days.

But soon, Qin Chuan and others discovered that they could not save them at all, because a black and heavy army had already surged across the river.
