Chapter 758 Primitive Instinct

The miserable screams echoed in the ears. The people running quickly in front knew what the heart-rending screams meant, but no one dared to look back or even look back. He didn’t even dare to slow down even if he was running wildly.

"I'm not the one who died. I don't want to be the next one to be crushed into pulp!"

Although there are different forms of expression due to differences in each person's personality and way of speaking, in general, this is a true portrayal of the innermost feelings of all the German soldiers who are on the run at this moment.

Even if the heel of a shoe is just touched by a tank track, there is absolutely no chance that a person who is caught in the slaughtering meat grinder can be saved.

I have never heard of anyone being driven over by a Russian tank and crawling out alive. Those Russians will ruthlessly squeeze out all the feces accumulated in your large intestine like toothpaste. If not enough poop comes out, it means you pooped cleanly.

The German soldiers who didn't want to be crushed to death climbed up and ran like crazy, but the German soldiers stationed at the defense line on the top of the mountain were shouting at them desperately and waving their arms.

"Spread out! Don't charge head-on, spread out!"

There is one thing that is very taboo for the defender in defensive operations. This has always been the case from the cold weapon formation battles in ancient times to the hot weapon position defense operations today.

The defeated friendly forces must not attack directly from the front of the second reserve line of defense!

On the one hand, this will block the sight of the friendly forces, and on the other hand, it will break up the defensive formations of the friendly forces due to the disorderly retreat and rout, and spread the panic of failure to the entire position like a plague.

Since ancient times, defensive positions that have been attacked head-on by retreating friendly forces have almost always ended in failure and retreated in a swarm, or they have been wiped out by the enemy like chickens and dogs, with corpses lying all over the field, kneeling and begging for mercy.

There have been very few armies since ancient times that can withstand such a severe test and still win. The German army, which has never been good at defensive operations, will naturally not be stupid enough to think that it will be a special case.

The German soldiers on the hilltop position desperately waved to their comrades to tell them to go around the position twice, but the dense crowd still rushed towards the position in a panic, without any intention of going around the two sides of the position.

Compliance with orders is a glorious virtue passed down from generation to generation by Prussian soldiers. At this moment, there is only one reason why these desperate running German soldiers choose to ignore orders. The Russian tanks behind them are only a few meters away from their final distance. !

Not to mention stopping and not moving forward, even if you go around the road and throw yourself away from both sides, these Russian tanks will hit you head-on and knock you to the ground within three seconds, and then use the tracks to grind like a meat grinder. Strangulate it into bloody limbs and fragments.

With the screams and screams of their comrades still vaguely echoing in their ears, the remaining German soldiers who were running for their lives could almost use their brains to guess what would happen to them if they were half a beat slower.

There are many bizarre folklores in ancient China. One legend says that if a person walking at night on a certain randomly changing street feels that something is wrong, he must not look back, no matter how scared he is in his heart. Keep going, even if a familiar person suddenly calls your name from behind you, you must never look back!

Once they turn back, the ominous thing will stretch out its gloomy pale hands and drag the living into the world of the dead, where they will never have a chance of redemption.

Although it is a folk legend from the ancient East, in a sense it is also very suitable for the German troops who are currently running for their lives.

Once you turn back on the road to death on this bloody hill, the Russian steel gods of death that are running and roaring behind you will drag you body and soul into Satan's hell. No one dares to make fun of their own lives and try such a move. .

But for the German commander who had a panoramic view of everything in front of him through the telescope, the behavior of these Russian steel gods at this moment seemed so strange and wrong.

The German commander, who had been fighting with the Soviet army for more than a year, knew very well.

At present, the Soviet tank is only 20 to 30 meters away from the German infantry for the final sprint. With the T34's surging speed, it only needs a kick of the accelerator to rush up at full speed, killing those in front who are just trying to escape. The prey is instantly crushed to pieces.

But the Russians did not do this. The T34 tanks, which seemed to have malfunctioned, were slowing down and stopping, and they looked like patients suffering from epilepsy rather than a powerful medium tank.

Whenever they get close to the last bit of distance from the German infantry, those T34s will suddenly slow down and fall behind like a sudden attack of illness. Only the roar of the engine that comes and goes, like the scream of death, still echoes in the ears of the Germans. By the side.

After falling a certain distance, it seemed as if the illness had been cured and it rushed straight up again with full throttle. It was quite strange to repeat this process of speeding up and slowing down.

If this happens to just one T34 tank, excuses such as engine failure and transmission system problems may be used to excuse it.

But what the German commander saw through the telescope with his naked eyes was that all the Soviet T34 tanks rushing at the front looked like they had seen a ghost.

"This is so abnormal! Why don't these Russian tanks fire? This distance can kill all the soldiers quickly, even with machine guns! Why are they acting so weird? Why on earth is this?"

As highly intelligent creatures, when human beings encounter problems that they cannot understand, they will always subconsciously fall into a state of thinking and try to use their brains to find answers and solve problems.

This is one of the special skills that our ancestors already mastered when they first came to the ground from the trees.

People often say that being able to use tools is the most essential reason and advantage that distinguishes humans from other creatures and can evolve into advanced creatures. But if we dig deeper, why do we need to use tools? Why do you think you can use tools? Being able to find, make, and use tools without relying on instinct is the most essential key to the problem.

Being able to think with your brain is the greatest skill bestowed upon humans by our ancestors, and it is also an essential key to transitioning from the bare-handed stage to the tool stage.

Fortunately, the German commander who relied on instinct to think subconsciously found the real answer, and blurted out an exclamation that even he himself could not believe.
