Chapter 1319: The Germans Crash into the Paratrooper Brigade
Balzen set up a temporary line of defense, and after all, he did not encounter any more enemies.
The Germans and the puppet army were completely lost, because after the Germans escaped from the forest, they began to rush north in desperation.
Roshakov gave the order to pursue the Germans, and his 1st regiment was the first to rush out of the forest. In order to gain greater credit in this battle, he did not notify his neighbor's second regiment to participate in the siege at all.
"All officers and men should be careful not to kill prisoners if the enemy surrenders. Capture a living prisoner of war, and the commander will have a major reward! ”
Roshakov hoped that all the officers and soldiers would understand his call, but the offensive formation of the troops was already somewhat confused. Everyone is scrambling to get the results of the battle, and they are running wild in the fog that is gradually dissipating.
It has to be said that the German soldiers were facing a huge threat to their lives, and they were not frightened by the artillery fire and merciless bullets, and they were bursting with adrenaline, showing great subjective initiative beyond the past.
Under the command of their regimental commander, Getzal, the retreating Germans decided that they would be able to escape if they ran north.
They had actually bypassed the rear camp, where there were still large quantities of food, ammunition, and some defenders. They can no longer take care of the stability of the troops and logistics materials left behind.
In fact, everyone is eager to go to the camp and get as much supplies as possible, preferably some bread cubes. Because, after their retreat, I am afraid that they will have to hold on for many more days, and now they have no military rations on their bodies, as long as they are hungry for two days, they can starve and faint one by one, or even starve to death.
The Germans had already ignored it, and besides, their camp was not only swept by Soviet rocket artillery, but also completely occupied by the arriving Soviet troops.
The Soviet soldiers, armed with guns and rifles in their arms, finally came to an area of the river beach where there was a lot of wreckage.
Roshakov was shocked and muttered to himself: "Here! Could it be that this is a barracks for the Germans? ”
He saw a large number of human and animal corpses on the river beach, and when he walked over to take a closer look, the corpses exposed the skin of their backs, their shirts were obviously torn, and their pants were badly damaged. His instincts told him that the deceased must have been torn by a shock wave such as a heavy artillery, as well as the internal organs of the deceased. Upon closer examination, the deceased was bleeding from all his orifices, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was dying in pain.
Soon, several soldiers hurriedly found their regimental commander.
"Report to the head of the regiment, we found some living Germans!"
"Still alive?" Roshakov quickly stood up, "Quick! Take me to see it! ”
There are only a few German soldiers alive here, and their spirits are strongly stimulated. Some of them stared at each other with wide eyes and smiled inexplicably, while others curled up and shivered. Fighters who knew German asked them questions and did not receive the slightest valuable response.
With only one glance, Roshakov asserted: "These people may be scared into schizophrenia, first control them, and we will continue the pursuit." ”
At this time, a battalion commander voiced his concerns: "Commander, we don't know how many Germans have fled, and I am worried that our army will have unnecessary casualties. It is really necessary for us to report our pursuit to friendly forces. ”
"Alright! If I don't inform the 2nd regiment, so that Lavrenti misses the best opportunity, he will definitely give me a small report in front of the commander afterwards. ”
However, Roshakov was overwhelmed, and he shouted hoarsely into the walkie-talkie, so that Barzen knew that the 1st Regiment was going to fight back immediately. Balzen then hastened to contact the 2nd Regiment and the paratrooper brigade in ambush in the north, explaining to them that the troops had begun a general offensive.
His eyes were on Lavlendi's troops, and upon receiving the news, he ordered his three battalions to immediately break away from the current line of defense and begin to advance steadily.
They eventually spotted the tail end of the fleeing Germans, and a shootout ensued.
"Oops, my tail has been attacked, these Russians are really tough!"
Quetzal was also in a frenzy, where he had the energy and ability to organize the covering troops to resist.
He was well aware of the situation of his own troops, a group of soldiers who were beaten by the Russians and lost their armor, and they did not throw away their weapons, which could be regarded as loyal to their duty as soldiers. For this reason, he can only call on the troops to speed up their escape.
However, the Soviet soldiers were not obsessed with chasing, and after engaging the enemy, the machine gunners lay down one after another and began to fire on the tail end of the fleeing enemy.
The RPGs of the Soviet army carried out a longer range projectile, and the range of the warhead was equivalent to the maximum range of a small-caliber mortar, and the accuracy was quite poor. Thanks to a special charge, a large number of metal pieces killed and wounded a group of German troops, but not fatally.
The raid of Ravlendi's regiment caused Quetzal to lose at least 200 more fighters, and he continued to flee with the 1,500 men he had deposited.
When will the escape end?
Some German soldiers who were running extremely fast suddenly noticed a pile of grass that suddenly appeared in the grass in front of them.
As everyone knows, those are the soldiers of the paratrooper brigade who are in ambush. Many paratroopers had steel helmets with matching rope nets, and now soldiers dress themselves up in shaggy clumps with the readily available reeds and dog-tail grass.
The enemy had appeared, and the paratroopers who had been waiting for a long time immediately began to block it.
The grass ball actually gushed out tongues of fire, and a large number of German Shi Bin, who saw the tongues of fire, soon lost their lives.
The brigade commander Tepunov watched all this quietly, he did not miss the battle, this is not expected that the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter. The Germans who appeared did not show a decent attack at all, and almost randomly fired their guns towards the north, not caring at all what they hit.
"Can't let them go, mortars, bombard me!"
In order to meet this operation, the paratrooper brigade carried the whole brigade of large-caliber mortars.
Twelve 82mm mortars, combined with recoilless guns, the use of RPGs, and a lot of precision firepower.
Getzal did not have the slightest psychological preparation for the ambush of Soviet troops in this direction.
"Ahh My soldiers, they killed them like that! Quetzal stopped, holding his head for a moment, at a loss.
His disgraced guards approached him and asked in a panic, "Commander, what should we do?" Do you want to go on the offensive? I can't rush out at all! ”
"I know! I know! We ......"
Suddenly, a stray bullet hit the guard directly in the skull. Quetzal looked at the loyal guard with a pale face, and he died so simply, rudely, and abruptly.
Realizing the great danger, he fell to his stomach on the spot.
He gritted his teeth and looked ahead again, the land had been blown over by a large number of shells, and some of the soldiers who were lying on their stomachs were blown up into the sky and then sunk down. Ahead, there are again war dead everywhere.
The whole person has fallen into despair.
"Brothers! Let's retreat! ”
Fall back? can still retreat there, and Getzal can only lead the people to flee south for a while.
After only seven minutes of firefighting, the Germans knew that there was no way out of the north.
The anxious German officers and men had to succumb to their survival instincts, dodging gunfire and shelling, and then began to turn back and retreat to the south.
Tepunov calmly watched all this with a telescope, and the figure of the German gradually became smaller.
He immediately brought in the signal soldiers: "Now give the order to the cavalry battalion, they can attack in full force!" ”
