Jagged Germany: Chapter 1477 From Cannon Fodder to Elite Soldiers ask for a monthly ticket
"Quick! Quick! Keep up!" A group of Polish soldiers was marching on the streets of Moscow, and they were ordered to reinforce another Polish army.
After the armies of Germany's many protectorate and vassal states began to enter Moscow to fight, the fighting became more fierce. In other words, the casualties on the German side began to increase. Of course, the main ones who died were soldiers from these slave countries. The elite German army still suffered fewer casualties.
"Da da da!"
On a street, dozens of Polish soldiers are resisting the attack of the Russian army. Half an hour ago, an infantry company of the Polish 1st Army captured here. But then, they were attacked by a battalion of the Russian army. Now, less than a third of the entire infantry company remains.
Relying on the crossfire of two heavy machine guns, the Polish army blocked the street. In front of their line of defense, a thick layer of corpses had already been piled up. These corpses were all left by the Russians.
"Company commander, there are too many Russians, we are almost out of ammunition!" A second lieutenant platoon leader reported.
"I know, if you hold on for a while, our reinforcements will arrive soon!" The captain and company commander were also full of anxiety. However, he knew that he could not retreat easily. Once they retreat, if they want to regain this position, they may have to pay more casualties.
"Let everyone persevere, reinforcements are coming soon. I have already requested fire support from my superiors, and there will be planes to support us soon." The company commander said.
This actually boosted the morale of these Polish soldiers who were persisting.
Although in the battle, their casualties were not small. However, the German artillery and air force's support for them is undoubtedly still very strong. Otherwise, they might have suffered more casualties in the battle.
"Attack! Kill those Poles!" A Russian major and battalion commander ordered.
After several days of fighting, the officers of the Russian army also gradually discovered that the number of Germans fighting them was constantly declining, replaced by Poles, Belarusians, Hungarians and Bohemians, etc. Although these German servants have a large number of troops and are fairly well-equipped. But they were undoubtedly much weaker than the mighty Germans. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Russian army undoubtedly like to fight these servants. Even, after mastering such a situation, General Zhukov even ordered the Russian army to launch a counterattack on a local battlefield. It can be seen from this that what the Russian army is really afraid of is the elite German army. As for the German servant army, they don't pay attention to it.
"Ulla! Ulla!"
A group of Russian soldiers, shouting slogans, attacked the Polish army's position.
"Da da da!"
The machine guns of the Polish army began to fire, and dense bullets shot over. Countless attacking Russian soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming.
But more Russian soldiers are still attacking one after another.
"Mortars are ready, knock out the Polish heavy machine guns!" The Russian battalion commander ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander!"
Two mortars started shelling.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several mortar shells fell on the Polish army's position, and a heavy machine gun was blown into parts during the explosion. The defensive firepower of the Polish army was weakened by more than half at once.
The Russian army, which was suppressed originally, took the opportunity to charge and was about to rush to the front of the Polish army's position.
At this time, a FW-190 fighter jet appeared above the street. The fighter plane skimmed the street, and the two bombs hanging from the underwings dropped. The bomb exploded in the queue of the Russian army, killing many Russian soldiers. Afterwards, the fighter planes began to shoot with aviation machine guns, massacring the Russian troops.
"Da da da!"
The aviation machine gun of the fighter plane was so powerful that many Russian soldiers who were hit were directly cut into two pieces.
Even, the fighter planes attacked the Russian mortar positions with machine guns, destroying both mortars.
"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, the battalion commander of the Russian army couldn't help cursing. The appearance of fighter planes from the Luftwaffe made their attack fall short. Otherwise, they might have broken through the Polish position.
The soldiers of the Polish army breathed a sigh of relief. They knew very well that once the defense line was breached by the Russian army, they would all have a dead end!
Subsequently, reinforcements finally arrived, and an infantry company arrived, making the Polish army's strength once again sufficient. If the Russian army wants to break through their line of defense, it will pay a greater price.
Although, after the German servants entered Moscow to participate in the war, they suffered very large losses. However, as the battle continued, they gradually learned a lot of experience in the battle. From the beginning of the rookie, gradually transformed into an elite soldier.
In the beginning, the exchange ratio between the German servant army and the Russian army was at least 2:1, but now it has gradually become 1.5:1, or even 1:1.
As these servants continue to grow, coupled with their advantages in weaponry and supplies, the exchange ratio will definitely become smaller and smaller.
It is precisely because of the gradual growth of these servants that the pressure on the German army has been eased.
During the offensive and defensive battles in Moscow, these servants had gradually replaced the German army and became the main force fighting the Russian army.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, our servant army is fighting more and more smoothly in Moscow. The exchange ratio between them and the Russian army is also continuously declining. In my opinion, we can further withdraw our troops from Moscow. ” Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert, chief of staff of the 8th Army, suggested.
Marshal Guderian thought for a while, and then asked: "Where are the A and C army groups?"
"Their situation is similar to ours. Although the servants suffered a lot in the initial battle, they have gradually gained a foothold in Moscow. We should give them more room to play." Karl ? Lieutenant General Hilpert smiled.
"Well, order our troops to withdraw from Moscow one after another! Each army group only needs to leave one infantry division to fight in the city. Let the rest of the battle be completed by the servant army!" Marshal Guderian said .
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert replied.
In the next few days, the troops of the 13 German Army Groups withdrew from Moscow one after another. Originally, the German army dispatched a total of 13 mechanized infantry divisions and 26 infantry divisions to fight in Moscow, but in the end only 13 infantry divisions remained in the city, and the rest of the troops were withdrawn. The German servant army has a total of 29 group armies, and each group army deployed two infantry divisions to fight in Moscow, for a total of 58 infantry divisions.
