As soon as he heard that the regiment commander had actually sent a bunch of people from the Eastern Battalion up, Lawrence immediately became uneasy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He asserted with a straight face: "Commander, your decision is not right! Those people also abused a prisoner on weekdays, helped our army carry ammunition, dug a pit and cut down a tree. Let them go to war, really let them die! ”

Lotharheim, who was originally trying to calm his mind, was also on fire, and he slapped the table and roared: "You didn't complete the task well, because of the sudden change in the battle situation, I won't pursue it." Since you think they can't do it, you can do it! Now that you have withdrawn, you are rapping with me at the regiment headquarters, it is really unreasonable! You hurry out! ”

Seeing that he had this attitude, Lawrence didn't say much.

If the wise regimental chief of staff Haldeman had been at this time, he would definitely not have let the regiment commander do such a brutal thing. But after thinking about it, let the Eastern Battalion go up, and it was not the Germans who died in the casualties. The lives of German soldiers were precious, but in the occupied territories they were able to recruit many people who were willing to swear allegiance to the Third Reich, and they seemed to be cheap cannon fodder.

Staying at the regimental headquarters any longer would only make the regimental commander look upset, and Lawrence knew that his judgment must be correct, and the group of Eastern Battalions would have to be withdrawn.

……

As the Gentsfeld said, the moisture in the air finally had condensation nuclei, and the dust blown up by the shelling, and the smog from the burning forest quickly absorbed a large amount of water vapor, and at ten o'clock in the area, cumulonimbus clouds appeared.

Balzen's headquarters fled another five kilometres, which must have been out of range of German artillery, and the weary soldiers seized the time to rest.

At half past five in the morning, a strange cold wind struck, and the soldiers who had risen at night were taken by the scene in front of them. The sky was not deep blue, but gray, and the air was so humid that it was about to rain.

Balzen was quickly awakened, and he sniffed, the air smelling of earth. Consciously told him that the rain would follow.

"It's terrible! I hate the rain, and the Battle Cloak can be used as a raincoat! Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, led by Balzen, the warriors untied their cloaks trapped on the side of their tactical backpacks. It is made of thin canvas with grease, and the key to a moderate weight is that it covers a large area.

Perhaps it was the warmth of the rising sun that the condensed water vapor began to accumulate more and more, and eventually turned into raindrops.

The forest fire was still burning, and a few hours later it became severe. Lothaheim feared that Gentsfield's words would not come true, and at six o'clock in the morning raindrops the size of beans fell on the ground.

The rain quickly turned into a heavy rain, and no one in the dormant Soviet army could sleep anymore. The most worrying thing for the soldiers who were still dressed in cotton clothes was the damn rain, if the clothes were wet, it would really be like carrying a basket of sand on their backs, and the likelihood of catching a cold and fever was higher, and the treatment of the wounded was also troublesome due to the interference of the rain.

These difficulties are being overcome, and everyone changes into cloaks and comes in to take shelter from the rain.

If the most difficult thing is to build a signal tower, the ground becomes muddy, the trunks of trees are too slippery, and the antennas cannot be plugged into the top of the trees, how to send a report to the division headquarters. Besides, this damn wet weather is a disaster for manganese batteries.

When he was at a loss, Ravliandi came to comfort the old man, and he pointed to the sky and said: "I think this rain will stop soon, and there is often heavy rain after the war. Although I don't know the truth of this, it will eventually stop. ”

What else can be done now? Balzen let out a long sigh and said, "I hope what you said is right, we more than a thousand people also need to rest." Being exposed to the wild on a rainy day is a disaster, and I really don't want that kind of hard time. ”

"We've been through more hardships than this in the past, and now we don't have to worry about anything." Patting him on the shoulder, Rav pulled out a box of cigarettes......

At present, the Ravlian and Yevgeny battalions immediately formed a circular defensive line, with the reconnaissance company and the rescued prisoners of war in the center.

Because they were elite troops, even though they thought they were very safe, they still set up machine gun positions in order, and the infantry dispersed and simply dug up the earth to build fortifications. This meticulous character is very important for soldiers, but in most Soviet units, few soldiers are particularly meticulous.

Under the rain, the Soviet positions were quickly established in a patchwork manner, and some scouts were also distributed outside the positions to monitor every move in the forest.

Balzen knew that there was still a chance that the enemy would order the group of men who had engaged him in pursuit. Because the retreat road left a lot of traces, such as bullet casings, and some debris that the soldiers abandoned in a hurry.

Sure enough, the two Eastern Battalions found these clues, so they did not search aimlessly in the forest. At least they determined the general direction, and the rest was simple—the soldiers formed a straggler formation and swept through the forest like combs.

The rain did as Raph had expected, and the heavy rain gradually turned into a light rain, and finally ceased altogether. The dark clouds gradually dispersed at 8 a.m., and the sun shone on the earth after the rain.

Balzen excitedly took off his cloak and lit another cigarette for himself. He sighed excitedly: "Now I can report the specific situation to the division headquarters, I have to tell them that our army's losses are very small." ”

In the battle, more than 40 Soviet troops were killed or missing, most of them under shelling. The so-called disappearance, I am afraid that the corpses were shattered by shells and destroyed in the fire!

These painful things are accustomed to these veterans who are accustomed to death, and people are still unusually calm, and they simply commemorate the sacrificed comrades.

It will take a while to contact the division headquarters, and Balzen will not stop everyone, and at this moment the camp is really rippling with "green smoke". It wasn't a fire picnic, and after the soldiers had eaten their dry food, they smoked cigarettes one by two. The atmosphere in the whole camp was still good, and no one was frightened by yesterday's thrilling battle. If there was, it was the liberated prisoners of war......

However, things always change dramatically when people are relaxed, and the sentinels on the periphery immediately notice the anomalies in the forest. Several people were surprised to see the shaking of a large number of figures, and immediately stood up from the ambush and ran wildly in the direction of the camp.

As a result, at this juncture, gunshots were heard in the forest, from sporadic gunfire at the beginning to dense.

The sentry knew what that meant, and fired back as he retreated.

The Soviet soldiers who were originally smoking and chatting, as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire as if a conditioned reflex, their relaxed faces immediately tensed, and they threw away their cigarette butts one after another, and within a few seconds there was a crisp sound of loading everywhere.

Soon, the sentries came running back, one by one, into the camp. They immediately ran up to Balzen and calmly said, "It's the enemy!" They're firing at us! ”

Now there is no need to question anything, the sentry returns on the front foot, and the enemy arrives on the back foot. Balzen immediately joined forces with Lavrenti and Evgeny on both flanks, and the resistance battle was imminent.
