Chapter 1318: The puppet army surrenders en masse
The Balzen rocket artillery crit created a very loud sound, strong shock wave and air wave, which changed the overall temperature around the blast center, and objectively accelerated the dissipation of the morning fog in this area.
It was a cloudy day, so the morning fog was even thicker, and the temperature was slowly rising, and at seven o'clock the visibility was less than 100 meters, and by 8 o'clock, the visibility was already more than 200 meters.
The critical attack of the rocket artillery made the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the 284th Division energetic, and they not only knew their situation, but also knew that they were about to jump out of the defensive position and take the initiative to attack.
However, only when the fog has largely dissipated and their commander thinks that everything is safe will he give the order to charge the whole army.
Rank-and-file fighters put their guns or bayonets on their guns, and the submachine gunners checked their bullets one last time.
The original hoplites, their useless loads were all unloaded, and they were only equipped with their own weapons and reserve ammunition.
They were waiting for the Charge, but some alert machine gunners were surprised to notice a large number of unidentified objects coming towards the position.
It's the enemy! It can only be the enemy!
Coincidentally, the fleeing Germans were attacking the line of a battalion under Roshakov's regiment. The regiment is a German armament regiment, and all light and heavy weapons are German armaments.
One by one, the MG34 positions immediately opened fire, and the merciless bullets harvested the lives of the young. Under the intense strafing, a large number of pine trunks were pierced by warheads, and more than a dozen trees were simply broken!
The German soldiers in the front line immediately suffered a large number of casualties, and those who were lucky enough to be alive immediately instinctively ran eastward, trying to avoid the stormy barrage.
Because it was an unexpected situation, Roshakov was shocked. He was about to explain to Balzen the assessment of his own troops on the bombardment of friendly rocket artillery, but he never thought that the Germans would actually start a fourth round of attack.
Communicating with each other, Roshakov shouted hoarsely into the walkie-talkie: "Balzen, you idiot! Your rocket artillery has blown the Germans to us! They're frantically attacking our positions! ”
"What? Roshakov! Did the Germans attack the line of your 1st regiment? ”
"Really, didn't you hear the loud machine-gun sound? It's crazy. ”
Balzen closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, and he instantly constructed a picture of the battlefield in his mind.
At present, he himself does not have a definite figure of the strength of the besieged German army, and judging from the reconnaissance and assessment of the paratrooper brigade alone, the strength should be around 3,000 people. In this battle, the Soviet army is fighting more and less!
The Soviets established a semi-circular encirclement, and only the Dnieper moat, which was more than 200 meters wide to the east, was not deployed.
Balzen hurriedly asked: "Roshakov, will your people be able to hold out?" I will order the troops to reinforce you! ”
"No, I've noticed that the invading enemy is starting to weaken, and they can't break through our machine-gun defenses. I can't take care of your troops, there are other friendly forces, and now that the fog has cleared a lot, I'm going to go on a general attack! Stay in your line of defense, don't move, and prevent the enemy in Loyev from escaping! ”
The communication was abruptly cut off, and Balzen suddenly realized that his allies seemed to be engaged in a feast of annihilation of the enemy. Roshakov was afraid to snatch the credit for this operation as much as possible. Obviously, this is the sixth day of this operation, and the task force has been on the sixth day since its departure, could it be that the final chapter of the operation is to be written by the first regiment? Bah!
Balzen was overwhelmed, and he urgently ordered his subordinates to take the initiative to attack, leaving only Evgeny's troops to continue to guard against the enemy's breakthrough in the city of Loyev.
The task force dispatched 800 troops, and under the personal leadership of Balzen, they advanced to the north in an inverted triangle of offensive formation. Because this was a battle to grab people's heads, the soldiers were all lightly armed, and they roared Ula while running wildly.
They ran fast, and after only ten minutes, the battle broke out suddenly.
Balzen was holding a Popold submachine gun in his arms, and he took the lead in the charge, which instantly detonated the fighting enthusiasm of the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion.
They collided with the once-overwhelmed police regiment, a group of puppet troops without a leader, and many of them gave up their resistance under the sudden blows of bullets and grenades.
Many of the puppet soldiers threw their guns and knelt on the ground with their hands raised in the air, this was the only chance they could think of to live. However, there are still Soviet soldiers with red eyes, who don't care whether the other party has surrendered or not, and anyone who sees a figure in front of them is shooting indiscriminately!
Balzen noticed all this and shouted as best he could: "Brothers, don't shoot indiscriminately, take as many prisoners as you can, and take a prisoner Commander Prize Listen to canned beef!" ”
Canned beef has always been a delicacy in limited quantities, but what could be more delicious?
Balzen's promise of material rewards soon curbed the indiscriminate killing of the Soviet troops.
The majority of soldiers know that there is a group of puppet soldiers among the enemies who come to Fan, in fact, whether it is the puppet army or the German army, how easy is it to kill with one shot? In order to eat canned meat, after the soldiers found out that the surrenderers were puppet soldiers, they came to Russian to insult them, explained the policy of surrendering guns and not killing, and then ordered the prisoners to stand up.
Balzen led eight hundred warriors to assault, and he had no idea that he would be entangled with a group of puppet soldiers.
I have to say that this group of puppet troops is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and after a short capture, Balzen can really be described as a bumper harvest.
Only a dozen people died in the attack, but they captured hundreds of prisoners of war.
No! Prisoners of war are not at all on the scale of a hundred! This group of puppet soldiers wore Czech military uniforms, the color was a little different from that of the German army, especially the black boat-shaped hat on the head was even more chic.
This group of specially dressed people caught more and more, and after they were quickly gathered together, the Soviets had to send a large number of men to guard them, so that it was not appropriate to continue the attack.
Balzen immediately ordered his troops to stop the pursuit and establish a defensive line at their current position.
More than 200 soldiers were arranged in a long snake formation, all ten meters away from each other. After arranging the defenses, Balzen came to see with regret and anticipation that he had captured prisoners of war.
I saw that surrounded by more than 100 Soviet soldiers with machine guns, the crowd sitting was really crowded.
"It's incredible! How many prisoners have we taken? ”
Balzen was talking to himself, and soon a soldier came to report.
"Report to the head of the regiment, we have made a rough count, and the number of prisoners of war exceeds nine hundred, and it is estimated that the final number may be a thousand!"
"What? A thousand?! Hearing this data, Balzen really trembled.
To date, there has never been a precedent for a thousand men to be captured in a single battle.
"Well, the troops don't have to attack anymore, and the rest of the honor will be given to the friendly forces. Now, I can impress the Commander! ”
Balzen muttered a few words happily, and his eyes fixed on the group of prisoners of war again.
He shouted loudly, and his words were quite fierce: "You traitors to the great motherland, I know that you were all citizens of the Soviet Union, but I did not expect that you would actually serve the Germans and become murderers of your compatriots. Don't you have a conscience? ”
"Then kill me! In your hands, I know that it is death! ”
Originally, Balzen wanted to stand on the moral high ground and first condemn this group of traitors from the conscience. Unexpectedly, there are still traitors with strong mouths.
"Who is it? Which bastard, stand up for me! ”
"That's me!" So, a man in a torn military uniform stood up.
"Ahh It's you, you bastard, who dare to repeat what you just said! ”
"Of course!" The man smiled slightly, then frowned and cursed: "You lackeys of Stalin, we real Belarusians don't want to be dogs for you Russians!" ”
"Phew! I'm Belarusian! One soldier immediately refuted.
The man looked like he was going to die generously, and continued to choke: "I really can't imagine that we in Belarus also have a lot of Stalin's lackeys and many Russian lackeys. ”
"Bastard! You Nazi lackey, die! The enraged soldier quickly raised his gun and slapped the man's head at the man's shock.
Not only that, but the Soviet soldiers were stimulated by what they had just said, and everyone shouted: "Kill them!" Let this group of traitors die! ”
"No! Shut up! Balzen raised his submachine gun and fired warning shots to stabilize the situation. In particular, he stressed: "I tell you, it is not allowed to kill prisoners now!" It's too cheap for this group of people to shoot them directly! We're going to make it worse for them to live than to die! ”
These cruel words and what had just happened made all the soldiers tremble. What is the so-called life is better than death? Now in the hands of this group of Soviet troops, a happy death is also a luxury.
