Chapter 653: The Stalemate of the Battle
"Hell! You bunch of rice buckets, attack me! Speer shouted at the retreating guys. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because seeing the Belarusians withdraw, it directly triggered a mass panic among the Poles. The more than 1,000 people who were originally attacking head-on were no longer under the command of the Germans, and one by two they were driven by instinct to retreat.
In a hurry, Speer ordered a few machine gunners around him: "You two groups, shoot me the fleeing guys, and let them press me again!" ”
The majority of German soldiers were mostly contemptuous of the Poles. In this battle, they illegally chose to retreat, which blamed the Germans for being the overseers.
After shooting a dozen people, the panic was contained, and the Poles, Belarusians, at least they did not retreat again, but they did not attack stupidly and frantically.
Although Tokov has few people, he has a lot of automatic firepower under his command, especially ammunition.
This company currently has more machine guns than a battalion, and because of the success of grenade tactics, the soldiers' self-confidence is at its peak!
Tokov himself looked at the enemy with a blank face, and a zone of exchange of fire of nearly two hundred meters had formed between the two sides.
"If you continue to shoot at us like this, as long as it drags on until dark, the opportunity will be ours again!" Confident, he shot himself, and no one was intimidated at this juncture.
Seeing that this group of guys from the Eastern Battalion had no intention of advancing bravely, Speer no longer expected these people to make any positive contributions.
He immediately contacted his comrade-in-arms Drach: "Your battalion will immediately outflank from the right flank, and I will take the left flank." The enemy looks like there is a battalion of troops, and we still have a chance! ”
"Forget it! Removing the waste of the Eastern Battalion, we are only twice as many as them, so we might as well continue to shoot like this! Waiting for my people to set up mortars! ”
Speer couldn't believe his ears, his comrades were actually cowardly at this time. He roared hoarsely into the walkie-talkie: "Idiot! Fighter planes are fleeting! Are you still afraid that they will not succeed? ”
"But! Don't you value the life of your warrior? The enemy is clearly fighting with us! I advise you to stop the artillery at once, too! ”
"Damn! Arrange it yourself slowly, I'll take someone to outflank you! ”
Throwing down this cruel remark, Speer ordered his men: "Brothers, the time has come to prove your courage!" Our order is to annihilate this Soviet army, and since they are here, you will outflank them in a roundabout way and kill them all! Are you afraid!? ”
"Don't be afraid!" The eager warriors said in unison.
"Alright, follow me! Impact! ”
Speer moved from the left flank of the position, leaning on the cover of the trees and began to make a detour. Their movements were soon discovered by the Soviets, and Tokov had already expected the battle to turn out like this, so he placed more machine gunners on both sides.
The bullets hit some people who ran wildly with precision, and the relentless bullets even broke some small trees, even hiding behind large trees is not necessarily safe, because the soldiers use RPGs.
Although only one missile flew out, its explosion was surprisingly good. The presence of this weapon was a blow to the attacking Speer.
"Damn! They still have this! The hesitation suddenly changed, and he ordered his troops to suspend the offensive and rely on the trees to shoot at the enemy.
If the German fighters have good marksmanship, they can take advantage of it in battle. According to the German army's military training, the front-line combat infantry had to be trained for 24 weeks, as an emergency recruitment after the start of the war, and because it was a garrison in the occupied area, Speer's training time was short, and his combat effectiveness was naturally much weaker.
Seeing some people shooting almost uncoveredly, he shouted hoarsely, "Fool! You have to protect yourself when you shoot, and you have to change positions after a few shots, do you want to be used as a fixed target? ”
It's a pity that many people don't have time to correct their mistakes, and this is not an FPS game that can be resurrected after death. You only have one life!
In the face of the most elite troops of the 284th Guards Division, which had been screened after a series of brutal and bloody battles, everyone's marksmanship was actually good, and the German soldiers who did not hide themselves were recruited one after another. Right next to Speer, the wails of the wounded were endless.
His offensive was thus halted, and the strategic opportunity was not seized. Perhaps it was not too late to make amends, and he immediately ordered: "Mortar gunners in the troops, now immediately assume positions!" ”
A short time after his order was issued, the artillery of Drach on the other side was already ready.
Although the 50mm small mortar equipped by the German army has a higher power than the M24 grenade, it is still a kind of artifact for attacking fortifications. Although its steel base was too heavy, the Soviets also liked to use it.
It itself is a machine gun fortress used to knock into the enemy, and now is the right time to use it.
Tokov heard the whistling of shells, and he shouted: "Dodge the shells!" ”
Mortar shells still exploded around the position, and two machine-gun fortresses were knocked out as a result.
Even in the face of artillery fire, the Soviet soldiers were still like machines, regardless of sacrifice, sitting and shooting at the action. Each infantry defended a distance of ten meters, and the lines were staggered.
If the Germans had access to large-caliber mortars at this time, and the ammunition was sufficient, then as long as the artillery fire continued to wash the floor, it would only be a matter of time before the Soviet front collapsed. It may take longer to conquer, so what's worse than having fewer dead?
Unfortunately, it was not until after the start of the war that the two German infantry battalions discovered that their level of attack was indeed poor, not only the lack of heavy weapons, but also the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
The 707th Division is indeed not a strong army, and the corpses that have fallen on the battlefield speak for themselves.
"If I continue to fight like this, I will run out of shells, and the Soviets will be able to continue shooting? I can't take their ground at all! "Dragher is full of unwillingness, two thousand people just can't annihilate their last few hundred people (in fact, there are only a hundred)?
"No! Artillery stop! We keep shooting! ”
In fact, he knew that simply letting the soldiers pour fire in the direction of the enemy's position was basically like wasting ammunition. Even if your own troops get more bullets from the withdrawn troops, it will be difficult to cope with the current attrition! But he really didn't have any good way, and the battle lines between the two sides minus solid.
The good marksmanship of the Soviet army forced the Germans and the men of the Eastern Battalion to hide well, and once the body parts were exposed, they would be taught to behave with accurate bullets.
At this time, Drach, who was leaning on the big tree, sighed to himself: "I now understand why Cliburn warned me, the Soviet army's sniper pistol skills are excellent, they are simply a force composed of snipers!" ”
The battle was stalemate, but time passed little by little, perhaps they knew that the Soviet troops guarding the position were only a little more than a hundred, and 2,000 could not be attacked, and this humiliation might force all the pigs to break out. It's a pity that no one dares to make a bird. Speer and Drachming knew that it would be bad to wait until it got dark, because there was no good way but to continue to wait, and sent a report to the division headquarters to wait for new orders.
