C1539 A game of life and death (1/2)

The one who draws the short pine needle is not lucky, just listen to my orders and charge wherever you go. We will cover you as you charge forward to engage in close combat, and with your grenades, sabers, and unarmed fists, I just want your life to stall the enemy! ”” You … you … you … you … ”” ”You … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you.

Vicious! Although there would definitely be casualties in the war, it was rare to get the casualty rate straight in advance and then pick the one who was going to die.

To put it bluntly, this was to use the lives of those who were destined to die and place them at a place where he should die. This was completely defining himself as a wild beast.

After the war, Xiao Letian overheard the story of the captives being interrogated, and at that moment, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. ”Everything described in the movies and TV dramas back then was actually real …”

In Xiao Letian's memories, there was a scene at the beginning of a movie called ”Under the City with War” that he remembered very clearly. Moscow was surrounded by enemies during the Heavenly Defensive War, and more than 80% of the entire city area was controlled by the German Army.

The protagonist rode the train and a group of recruits to the front lines. There was no formal training at all. These cannon fodder like recruits were used to block bullets.

When the iron goods vehicle's door was opened, what met his eyes was the entire burning main city area of Moscow. A few hundred meters in front of him was the front line of the German Army's assault.

The rookie like soldier was dragged out of the carriage by the military officer, who rushed forward in a daze. Not too far away from the front line, there was an officer giving out weapons.

The first soldier was given a rifle without bullets, and the other soldier was given only five rounds, which was a row of bullets.

There were no bullets, there were no bullets. The main character got five bullets. When he asked where the rifle was, he was only greeted with a string of curses. He was told to find the rifle on the dead body.

What effect could such an attack have? Naturally, failure was fated, the hundreds of newbies who just got off the train became the victims of the German Army's machine gun fire.

What? You ask the Soviets if they don't have machine guns? Of course there were, but that machine gun was not used to shoot at the German Army, but rather at the new recruits who had been defeated and fled.

There were guns and no bullets, there were bullets and no guns. This only meant one thing. From the very beginning, the commander had been prepared to sacrifice half of his men.

But at least these few hundred lives had stopped the attacks of the German Army, and used up all of his bullets. This kind of tactic to delay the enemies with one's life was also a correct but very cruel way of fighting.

Nazi Germany has a million bullets, I have the lives of a million recruits to spend on you, and in war the population is really just a resource in the commander's notebook, and a series of numbers.

”An enemy division is coming from the left, carrying ten thousand rounds of artillery shells and one million rounds of bullets …”

”Un, it's simple!” Send thirty thousand civilians to charge up and consume their cannonballs and bullets... At any time, in the statistics, when the enemy's supplies are half used up, let's send our elites up! ”

”What did you say?” Thirty thousand was not enough! 'Trash, thirty thousand isn't enough. You're not going to send me a hundred thousand … ' ”Wait a minute, send my illegitimate child to the back of the group and have an enhanced company protect him …”

Was this a war? Xiao Letian shook his head and laughed to himself, ”What nonsense, what nonsense!” But in any case, this kind of thing is too common in war. Didn't Chinese history often have a reality case of refugees flocking to the city? To put it bluntly, the cannon fodder were just using one's life to consume the enemy's war supplies.
