On the east side of the road, Captain Hekler and his comrades fought bravely, and with the assistance of the rear artillery, he repelled the first wave of the enemy's attack.

The west side of the highway was a different scene. With the support of more than a dozen T-34 tanks, Soviet infantry had rushed into the dock.

From time to time, artillery shells flew from the northeast and landed on the west side of the bridge, causing bloody storms among the Soviet charge troops, but could not stop the Soviet charge.

Artillery is not omnipotent. The Soviet vanguard troops rushed too fast and had become a group with the German army. The German artillery was afraid of throwing weapons and could only use artillery fire to suppress the Soviet army's follow-up troops.

On the dock, Lieutenant Seidel turned around and ran back to the second floor he had been before on the S-shaped route. He flashed and rolled into the building through the window on the first floor, stuck to the wall next to the window, and opened fire at the enemy outside.

Behind another window, a mg42 machine gun team mounted the machine gun on the windowsill and was firing wildly to prevent the enemy from approaching.

Under the dim vision, Lieutenant Seidel saw chaos on the battlefield, and soldiers in groups of three or three were rushing towards the dock, with both the enemy and his own people.

The Soviet army used the cover of the night to touch them in a crawling manner, and they were also caught off guard by the Soviet army's raid.

There were not so many forests on the west side of the highway to provide cover for them. There were more than a dozen T-34 tanks behind the Soviet army to provide fire support, and rushed into the German defense line with one charge.

Lieutenant Seidel and his comrades also had some anti-tank weapons, such as Iron Fist and Tank Killer Bazooka. However, the Soviet army's formation was infantry in front and tanks behind. These weapons were not fired enough, and they could not expose themselves to Soviet infantry and fire.

As the Soviet infantry rushed into the German defense line, the Soviet artillery stopped firing one after another to avoid accidentally hurting their own people.

Without the suppression of Soviet firepower, the pressure on the German army near the dock and the dock had not been reduced. With the successful breakthrough of the Soviet infantry, the T-34 tanks behind them also approached the dock, and the German army retreating to the dock was at risk of being driven into the river at any time.

Five or six German soldiers retreated to the dock and defended on the second floor where Lieutenant Seidel was located, but they still could not stop the Soviet army from approaching.

Cooperating with his comrades in the building, Lieutenant Seidel killed several Soviet troops rushing toward the building and stopped his movements. He clearly saw that a T-34 tank in the distance stopped moving forward, turned the turret right, and pointed the muzzle at the second floor where he was.

"Be careful, hide." Lieutenant Seidel yelled and fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time, a flame erupted from the tank muzzle in the distance, and the shells flew into the window where the two machine gunners were next to Lieutenant Seidel, hitting the wall behind them, and exploded with a bang. The two machine gunners screamed and were instantly swallowed by the black smoke.

Lieutenant Seidel lay on the ground, feeling that something seemed to have been knocked on his left calf. The severe pain reached his heart and couldn't help but tremble.

Dragging his left leg with severe pain, Lieutenant Seidel stood up, looked out the window, and saw the tanks in the distance moving again and approaching the dock.

Unable to stay here, Lieutenant Seidel turned around and ran out of the room, limped out from behind the second floor, and followed the chaotic crowd on the dock to the west.

Retreat to the dock duty room near the highway on the east side of the dock, Lieutenant Seidel saw a soldier lying on the ground with a cordless phone on his back, covering his belly with his left hand and moaning.

Lieutenant Seidel grabbed the communications clerk's neck and dragged him behind the wall of the duty room.

The lieutenant squatted down and asked the communications soldier, but received no reply. He reached out and placed his hand next to the communications soldier's nose. He did not feel the airflow. Lieutenant Seidel put down his fingers in pain.

As he reached out to pick up the microphone from the cordless phone behind the communications soldier, Lieutenant Seidel shouted to the microphone: "Warhammer, Warhammer, this is the dock, this is the dock, the defense line has collapsed, the defense line has collapsed, the fire at me."

A questioning sound came from the microphone.

"Door, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I can't retreat anymore, fire at me, and fire at me quickly." Lieutenant Seidel shouted.

"Farewell forever, brother."

Lieutenant Seidel put down his microphone and looked around. In the collapsed line of defense, German soldiers retreated across the road and fled to the east side of the road.

If the Russians cannot be stopped here, they will likely rush to the east of the highway and completely occupy the bridge.

With his back against the wall, Lieutenant Seidel endured the severe pain from his legs, waiting for the last moment to arrive, and turned his eyes and looked to his left hand.

Throwing down the submachine gun in his hand, Lieutenant Seidel leaned down, crawled on the ground with his hands and feet, and soon climbed over twenty meters away, rolled down from the cement platform of the dock, and fell into the river below.

As soon as he rolled down the water, a string of bullets fell on the ground where he jumped into the water.

Waving his arms, Lieutenant Seidel swam to a speedboat floating on the water, reached out to climb on the yacht hull, swinging his legs, trying to make his body float on the water.

Four or five T-34 tanks drove to the dock one after another, supporting infantry to rush towards the bridgehead. In the field outside the dock, the other T-34 tanks also turned the front of the vehicle and launched a centripetal assault on the bridgehead.

At the moment of crisis, the whistling of rockets sounded again, dragging black smoke and tail flames, the 150mm rocket fell down with the 150mm high-explosive bomb. The flames shining from the explosion instantly flooded everything on the dock.

Amid the explosion, flesh and blood flew across the dock, and the bodies of the Soviet infantrymen who were charging were torn apart by shrapnel along with the bodies of German soldiers on the dock.

A T-34 tank was hit by a rocket and exploded. The rest of the tanks were injured by dense shells and rockets, and were paralyzed on the dock.

Raindrop-like artillery shells fell one after another, and the Soviet infantry and tanks that had already launched a fierce charge were instantly swallowed up.

Lieutenant Seidel hid in the water and tried to lean his body against the wall of the dock next to him, so that the shadow could cover his body.

A shell fell to the water in the distance, raising a huge white water column. The waves were used to hit him, causing his body to constantly hit the wall of the dock beside him.

God bless you, never have shells falling to you, Lieutenant Seidel kept praying.

The lieutenant could not see the artillery bombardment he called not only destroyed the enemy in charge, but also stabilized the defensive line that was about to collapse in time, allowing the Soviet offensive to stop at the docks and highways.

Taking advantage of the precious opportunity when the Soviet army was suppressed by artillery fire, the German army on the east side of the highway adjusted their troops in time to deploy defense along the highway.

After contacting the artillery behind him, the artillery fire extended from the dock to the west, and the German army on the east side of the highway took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

Among the German artillery fire, the Soviet infantry was still the worst hit. The T-34 tank, which lost the cover of the infantry, became a living target for the German infantry, and was besieged by iron fists and the "tank killer" anti-tank rocket launcher, and was successively destroyed on the battlefield.

Before we knew it, the sky on the east side turned white, and the roar sounded from small to large, and a helicopter formation flew from the northeast to join the battle.

Eight fi-382 "Black Hawk" helicopters hovered over the battlefield, machine gun bullets and rockets fell, ruthlessly chasing the Soviet army fleeing in the wilderness, completely defeating the Soviet counterattack troops.

Seeing the explosion of the shells gone, Lieutenant Seidel boldly let go of his hand, leaned against the cement wall of the dock, swam all the way in the dark, swam to the steps of the dock, climbed up the steps, and looked up the dock.

Seeing figures wearing m35 helmets and camouflage uniforms running across the dock, running to the west and south, and helicopters hovering in the sky in the distance, Lieutenant Seidel completely relieved himself, stepped up the steps, and limped up the dock.

Just as he walked onto the dock and was about to find a health soldier to see the injuries on his leg, Lieutenant Seidel suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky south.

In the sky to the south, four black dots rushed towards the bridge from small to large.

Il-2, it was Il-2. Lieutenant Seidel hurriedly turned around, trying to find a place to hide.

On the dock, others also found the approach of four Il-2 attack aircraft and became panicked.

Four Il-2s quickly approached the bridge, and at the same time lowered the height, regardless of the bullets fired by German machine guns on the ground, they rushed straight to the bridge.

At the critical moment, the me-109 fighter's dexterity fell from the sky and rushed toward the low-altitude Il-2 attack aircraft.

In an instant, a row of bullet holes appeared on the bodies of the two Il-2 attack aircraft, and they plunged into the building complex on the north side of the bridge to crash. The two surviving Il-2 attack aircraft were attacked and hurriedly dropped bombs. Two bombs brushed the bridge and fell into the Don River, raising a tall water column.

Dropped the bomb, and the two Il-2 attack aircraft hurriedly turned around and fled to the future.

Lieutenant Seidel took the battle that just happened.

The Russians reacted very quickly and wanted to blow up the bridge. Fortunately, our air force responded too slowly.

At this time, a health soldier ran to him, stared at his legs and asked, "Lieutenant, I think you need my help." Mobile version website: m.
