Imperial Overlord

"Hey! I said! The soldiers in the building opposite have not been seen for a long time!" The Soviet soldiers guarding in a ruin asked their companions with some doubts.

His question also alerted his companions. The previous shelling was very violent, but it didn't seem to land on the block in front of him, which was very confusing.

It stands to reason that there were not so many blocks under the control of the Soviet army. The German artillery bombardment could be completely dispersed, and the entire Soviet army position was covered like a lottery.

But the German artillery gave up an area. This can never be explained by coincidence. It was shelling, not bombing.

High-altitude bombing may be unevenly distributed due to the impact of accuracy. But the shells are much more accurate, and it is impossible to deviate so far from a block.

Before humans invented guided weapons, artillery was probably the most accurate weapon of mass destruction in the world.

"There's something wrong! You go and inform the company commander. I'll be watching here to see what's going on." The veteran leaned against the trench in the ruins and said to his valet.

They are not the front line here, but the intersection between the second line of defense and the first line of defense.

On their left side, there is a large area, which is the defense area of ​​the first line of defense reserve. It is impossible for the enemy to reach them, so they just came out to watch.

There were actually only a dozen soldiers in the entire trench, and the rest of the soldiers were resting farther away. After all, the German artillery bombardment had just ended, and no one would rush back to their trenches immediately.

The cannons of the German Navy have made it easier to dig trenches here. Anyway, there are huge craters formed by many shells on the ground. Just dig some trenches to connect these craters.

Even such work is done by civilians. Women and children have been mobilized, and they have unfinished work every day.

For example, help the Soviet army to clear the destroyed trenches, bury the bodies of the dead, dig new trenches and repair some damaged houses.

Work can get some food, but the food is getting less and less. What started out as a piece of dry bread is now less than a tenth of the original...  

Even if everyone is reluctant to risk working for bread that is about the size of their thumb, because there is no way to survive, they have no other choice.

If they do not act according to the military's requirements, the other party will shoot directly, euphemistically: "Prevent the right-wing elements colluding with the German army."

They were all dead anyway, so civilians often wandered in the ruins. They were looking for something to eat. When they encountered the corpse of the Soviet army, they went up to rummage, and found bullets in exchange for some food to eat.

"You two, go to the opposite side and ask what's going on." After sending a person to find his company commander, the Soviet veteran called two young recruits and assigned them a task.

Going over there and asking what's going on is obviously the easiest thing to do. If the other party doesn't know either, then it means that the Germans must be playing something.

The two soldiers heard this order and quickly climbed out of the trench, carrying their rifles, and walked towards the opposite side.

After all, there is no danger here, and there is no need to exercise caution. The two walked forward while carrying their own rifles.

Since it wasn't a dangerous task, they didn't have any psychological preparation. It wasn't a big deal when they walked over to ask someone.

"Bah!" There was a crisp gunshot, and the head of the young Soviet soldier walking in front burst open with the gunshot, spurting blood.

The other soldier walking beside him didn't react yet, and turned his face to the side like a dementia, looking at his companion who had already fallen on his back.

Then he stared at the ruins of the building directly in front of him, and was shot through the chest by another flying bullet.

"Ah!" He screamed miserably, and then fell down clutching his chest. On the ground he wanted to scream and struggle, but found that he had no strength and no way to shout.

Because every time he opened his mouth, blood poured out of his throat, blocking his efforts to scream.

In the trench on the other side, the Soviet veteran who heard two gunshots suddenly retracted his head into the trench, then found a gap and looked in the direction where the two young soldiers were just standing.

He didn't see anything, because the two people who had walked there were already lying on the ground. From this angle, there was nothing there.

"Bastards! Are you blind? Your own people!" He didn't dare to stick his head out, and shouted loudly in the trenches, "Who told you to shoot?"

At this time, he already felt in his heart that the opposite side seemed to have been occupied by the Germans, otherwise, why didn't the Germans bombard it there?

However, without a single shot, how did the German army kill thousands of Soviet soldiers, occupy the thick first line of defense, and quietly come to the front of the second line of defense?

Even if the Soviet army was defeated, but no one escaped back? This is too weird, right?

"Quick! Go and report the company commander... No! You go directly to the battalion headquarters! Find the battalion commander! Tell him what happened here!" Went down the trench to find the superior commander.

Obviously, the things here are too weird, and he can't handle it alone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Soon, the matter of the two gunshots was passed to the office of Marshal Voroshilov. He was watching Staring at the increasingly small combat map.

So he picked up the phone in front of him and wanted to connect the commander on the first line of defense, but the phone could not be connected, which made him even more uneasy.

Then, the truth finally came out, because about 400 soldiers fled back to the second line of defense of the Soviet army one after another.

The news they brought back was simply shattering: about 30,000 Soviet troops fell without a fight, and they took away the ammunition and the food that was attached to the past, which made the Soviet troops in the encirclement even worse.

Originally, the frontline troops had more ammunition, and now they have swept away the ammunition, and the remaining soldiers have fewer bullets in their hands.

In the face of this blatant betrayal, Marshal Voroshilov said nothing. He shut himself in the house alone, no one was seen.

At this moment, the German army controls about half of Leningrad, and Voroshilov really has not much time left.
