The two scouts quickly returned to Balzen's search formation, and also reported the enemy's pursuit as soon as possible.

Therefore, in the face of the Soviet troops who had been prepared for a long time, the dozen or so Ukrainians collided directly, leaving a few corpses behind after a random shot, and only four people escaped the bullet fire by relying on the cover of dense and thick tree trunks.

Balzen gritted his teeth with great regret: "Damn! Or let the enemy go! ”

His deputy asked, "Battalion commander, what shall we do?" ”

"What else can we do, implement the commander's subordinate orders, since we have been exposed, it means that the battle is inevitable!" As he spoke, Balzen waved his hand and ordered: "Brothers, the battle is inevitable, the Slavdzich occupied by the enemy is only six hundred puppet soldiers, and the glory belongs to our death squad!" Liberation Slavdish! Ulla! ”

Ula roared, and the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion turned into tigers and rushed towards the target.

And the Ukrainians also woke up completely, and the battalion commander Moise was too late even if he was surprised, he ordered the trumpeters to actively blow the siren, and the whole Slavdishy took action.

According to Moise's city defense plan, the current city defense construction is sixty percent complete, and even worse, the sudden appearance of enemies is not from the northeast, they are from the northwest! The guards there are already relatively weak!

The sound of the reconnaissance battalion's Ula resounded through the forest, and the trumpet of the charge was also a murderous threat.

Soldiers from the Ukrainian battalion jumped into foxholes, some climbed onto rooftops, and Moise urgently ordered all the machine gunners to assemble on the northwest side of the city.

Due to the large number of lumberyards around Slavdzich's table, there was no time to clear the stumps for cutting down large trees, and these things actually became an obstacle to the attack of the reconnaissance battalion.

Balzen didn't care about this, his soldiers soon reached the edge of the forest, and about two hundred meters in front of them was the city!

The fighters maintained the momentum of the charge, and after rushing out of the trunk cover, they continued to attack with shouting slogans.

After all, the Ukrainians have been prepared for a long time, and these puppet army marksmanship is much more clumsy, but as long as those bullets are accurate, killing people is still a matter of one shot.

Suddenly, the enemy opened fire, and the fighters who had charged too fiercely fell several at once!

Seeing that the casualties would become more serious if the attack continued, Balzen was angry and shouted: "Give me back!" Give me all the attacking troops back! ”

The roar was effective, and the Scout retreated as he shot one after another, not forgetting to pull the moaning hapless bastard back.

Balzen did not expect this situation, and the plan was to conduct a systematic reconnaissance first, and then a large army would strike hard, and the casualties could not be controlled in single digits. This is good, a good reconnaissance turns into an encounter, and the enemy is not only prepared, but also has to attack without brains?

Seeing that there were still ten soldiers dead on the flat ground, Balzen was very depressed.

He ordered: "Comrades, we will rely on these big tree bunkers to shoot at the enemy!" Hold them down! It dragged on until the main forces of the higher authorities arrived! Accurate marksman, your time has come! ”

Isn't there still such a heavy weapon as an RPG in the reconnaissance battalion? Why not Balzen?

The self-proclaimed reckless reconnaissance battalion commander determined that he was more than 200 meters away from the city by comparing the ruler of the telescope with the reference objects that could be found everywhere. Bombardment at this distance is no problem for rocket-booster grenades fired, but the accuracy is greatly reduced. This weapon can't be squandered, and if it's a bombardment of the city, it's better to let the catfish rocket launcher come with a few shots!

So, the situation on the battlefield has become delicate. From the point of view of the Ukrainian battalion, the attacking Russians suddenly coaxed! In Moise's view, in particular, his move of "building obstacles with big trees" really seriously hindered the enemy's attack.

He also decisively decided that the enemy who appeared now was the Soviet 17th Guerrilla Brigade that had entered the forest.

A distress telegram from Slavdzich was soon sent to the headquarters of his police regiment in Chernihiv, and the commander was shocked but not surprised by the situation. This information was also quickly reported to the German 634th Division and the Romanian Army.

The German occupation forces did not pay much attention to the attack on Slavdzich, after all, the so-called city was really dispensable, and its so-called strategic value was to provide some pine trees. But it would not be right for the Germans to stand idly by!

Balzen was in the forest, Moise was in the city, and the two sides were firing at a distance of more than 200 meters, and the gunfire became more and more muted as time went by. The reconnaissance battalion has never been the kind of weak brigade that wastes bullets, and the Ukrainians, with the amount of ammunition on their bodies plummeting due to the blind firing of the bold nature, they did not dare to fight indiscriminately.

The shootout turned into a stalemate, which soothed Moise's frightened heart, and he was still waiting for a new order from his superiors, when his regimental commander sent a telegram: "You must hold the city, and soon, the Germans, who have recently checked a platoon of posts, will support you in armored vehicles!" ”

Moise was so surprised that he stamped his feet in the battalion headquarters on the second floor of a building and cheered: "Great! No matter how good the Russians are, they can't beat the armored vehicles! As long as the Germans intervene, we are not afraid of anything! "Morale has improved as a result.

In fact, he was too early to rejoice.

On the other hand, Balzen ordered his men to aim and fight again, which did make many enemies hide in cover and not even dare to show their steel helmets (the full power projectile can easily penetrate the thin helmet steel plate at the correct angle). He also ordered the telegraph operator Mira to communicate with the command.

Because there was already a war, Mira simply didn't even send the code, but shouted directly into the walkie-talkie.

Only in a critical moment would the telegraph operator choose to communicate in plain language. Diana clenched the huge earphones on her ears nervously, and soon, the herald invited Yang Mingzhi over.

"Diana, how's the scout battalion? Really fought? ”

"Yes! Comrade Commander! Listen carefully! With that, she unbuttoned her headphones and threw them over.

Yang Mingzhi was angry, and after putting on the headphones, he heard those frequent gunshots and instantly deduced. "Owl! Owl! I'm a flying fish! I'm a flying fish! ”

"Owl received! Wait! Mira immediately removed her headphones and threw them at Balzen, who was beside her.

Soon, Yang Mingzhi heard the hoarse voice, this is Balzen good. His complaint immediately erupted: "Owl! What are you guys up to! I ordered you to investigate, how can you take the initiative to attack? ”

"I'm sorry! The owl is completely exposed, the battle has begun, and we can't turn back! ”

"In that case, you guys will knock the city down for me!"

"No! We don't have enough troops! The enemy dug a large number of foxholes and trenches on the outskirts of the city, and they built and laid a large number of bunkers in the city, and in front of us was a plain of more than 200 meters! We need heavy weapons! We need heavy weapons! ”

As soon as Balzen's request was finished, he heard a string of expletives from the commander on the other side of the airwaves!

Yang Mingzhi frowned, he was most afraid of this situation, and he also knew very well that Balzen did have a high chance of turning reconnaissance into a surprise attack! Anyway, who said that the bravery of this fierce general can easily turn into recklessness? It's no use getting angry! Anyway, in terms of planning, taking Slavdzich on the 19th is a dead order! If it is taken on the 18th, this can be regarded as the completion of Ponomarenko's death order ahead of schedule, and it is also a good thing.

Yang Mingzhi didn't talk nonsense, he yelled directly at the walkie-talkie, and he didn't even use the code name. "Balzen, you continue to procrastinate! Delay me for up to four more hours! I'll be there when the sun starts to set, and you'll be there yourself! ”
