The entire Hoffman regiment began to move, with the three main battalions lining up for an all-out attack, and other units responsible for logistics and special operations following the regimental headquarters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Hoffman, the battle that had been held back by the enemy a few months earlier and the city was not captured, and that battle was forever a shadow in his military career, and this time it was also an attack on the enemy's camp, and they built fortifications, which was destined to be a bitter battle.

The recruits in the army did not know the meaning of hard fighting, it was the bloodiest thing, and each company could be seriously attritional. Even so, the troops must attack, and they cannot be desperate just because the enemy is strong in combat.

Balzen led his men on a wild run, and they were the first to rush out of the forest.

Vasilyev, the commander of the position, raised his binoculars and saw the soldiers in white come out.

He immediately ordered those around him: "Don't open fire, the reconnaissance company is back." ”

It was four hundred meters from the forest to the position, and only in the early hours of yesterday morning there was a fierce battle, and the remains of the battlefield were everywhere. Craters, charred wreckage, and German corpses that didn't have time to be retracted.

The Soviets took advantage of the positions dug by the Germans to set up defenses, they continued to dig deep trenches, and the positions of machine guns and recoilless guns increased a lot.

Balzen and his comrades rushed all the way into the trenches. He himself went directly to Vasilyev, gasped and said: "The enemy will arrive soon, and in five minutes they will be killed!" ”

Seeing this, Vasilyev immediately ordered the whole army to be ready for battle!

The soldiers were wiping their weapons, the recoilless guns were reloaded with their first shells, and the artillery of Doronin, not far away, adjusted the muzzle angles, turning these Krupp cannons into flat-firing cannons.

This was the first time that the female soldiers had participated in this dignified positional battle, and no one knew what the enemy would do. They mingled with the male soldiers, and Joshua was worried that the brutal fighting would cause the female soldiers to collapse first, and that the only way to avoid bad things was to fight with the men.

In contrast to the Soviet army's active preparation for war, the German army was running wildly all the way, just running, as if it could break through the Soviet army's defenses in one go.

"Let's work hard, destroy the Soviets, and they will open the swamp. Complete the decisive battle, and the final victory is ours! Hoffman continued to howl as more than 2,000 people marched through the forest.

For Hoffman, the so-called tactics are the same old way. Mortars set up positions on the edge of the forest, and the infantry advanced in a skirmish line. Of course, the casualties of such an attack will be very large, but the order is absolute, and everyone must have the consciousness of dying in battle.

The ground was in a slight position, and some Soviet soldiers put their ears to the ground, realizing that the enemy was approaching.

The fighters checked their weapons one last time, and everything was waiting for Vasilyev to decide.

Balzen advised him: "As soon as the enemy appears, don't shoot right away, let's put them at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters and shoot suddenly!" ”

This does not conform to the general principles of warfare, but this is what Yang Mingzhi taught Balzen. The so-called troops first buried their heads in their positions, and the enemy's long-range reconnaissance will certainly find that there is no one left, and when they boldly advance and then attack suddenly, the enemy will inevitably panic.

Vasilyev felt that it made sense, there were a large number of machine guns on the position, because the small arms of the destroyed Niklaus were basically left here, and their firepower of the Soviet defenders was greatly increased. There are sixty more MG34s, a lot of spare barrels, and plenty of ammunition!

Therefore, the fighters were asked to immediately lie dormant and disguise their positions as empty.

Hoffmann's vanguard broke through the forest, instinctively squeezing and not moving on.

The people on the front line are accumulating more and more, as if the wildebeest is gathering in a heap and preparing to cross the river. So are there any crocodiles in the river? No one knows, until the number of wildebeest increases, that they will have the courage to continue to advance.

Some of the German soldiers had no choice but to advance cautiously in a skirmish line, looking around as they went. They knew too well that the first soldiers often did not survive, and these people were prepared to die, and as a result, they marched fifty meters without encountering any resistance.

"They may have abandoned their positions and gone back, let's move on!" A squad leader beckoned to the people watching from behind, and Hoffman did not order the stalled troops to move on.

"Those more than 100 people are spearheads, let them test it, and then we will act in full force!" Hoffman ordered the battalion commanders to stay put.

More than a hundred people were advancing, and Vasilyev and Balzen did not expect this.

"What are we going to do? When they reach one hundred and fifty meters, are they going to shoot? The enemy's forces haven't come out yet?! Vasilyev was worried that he would be scared.

"Then put them fifty meters, or even thirty meters, and we must wait for the appearance of a large enemy force. These people are meat detectives, and we must not be fooled. ”

The two armies were so close that they would go to war again, which was simply a military adventure. The Soviet soldiers must carry out this order, the number of machine guns among them is extremely large, and if you think about it carefully, even if the enemy is particularly close, more than 100 general-purpose machine guns, this luxurious firepower can completely do "mowing the grass"!

The spearhead was getting closer and closer, and they had walked two hundred meters and still had not been attacked. The men walked past the gray corpses, the remnants of the previous battle, and each soldier's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Hoffman waved his hand, and the whole regiment began a general attack.

The mortar positions were immediately erected, and more than thirty 50-mm mortars shelled that area without any problem, even if the enemy appeared?

This is self-confidence and inferiority, because Hoffman saw the field artillery in the distance, and there was no human figure in sight. It would be too bad if they fired.

The Germans were in full action, they were shooting a huge skirmish line, the entire width of the attack was 500 meters, and the depth of the attack was also very thick.

The soldiers were moving faster and faster, the Mauser rifles were already loaded with bayonets, and finally they simply charged with running, howling!

A hundred spearheads were only fifty meters away from the position, and Vasilyev suddenly appeared, also with an MG34 in his hands, and the secondary shooter was ready. The blocking battle began with Vasilyev's fire.

In an instant, the entire position burst into powerful firepower, and Hoffman did not know that the position in front of them had the number of machine guns as high as one hundred and fifty, including the German MG34 and the Soviet Deggalev.

The powerful barrage was completely slaughtering, and the attacking German troops were knocked down like mowing grass, and the 100 men of the top soldiers were all wiped out.

The recoilless guns fired at the enemy's depth, and the Germans did not understand this situation, and only by fighting in small groups could they avoid the range of artillery fire to the greatest extent. Their skirmish line was a straight line, and even if the squads in depth lay on the ground and set up machine guns to fire back, the shells still dealt damage one after another. (To be continued.) )
