Chapter 1058: A Stalemate Battle

The scheduled time of the operation was about to change again, and Yang Mingzhi urgently called all the officers to the farmhouse of the headquarters.

"Comrades, now that the actions of the reconnaissance battalion have been exposed, they have already engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy."

"This person is exposed again!?" Evgeny angrily speculated. "I think he just wants to use his little force to take the city directly! I don't know if it's brave or crazy! ”

"If he can really take it, he won't ask us for help!"

Yang Mingzhi glanced at him and continued: "With the current situation, the reconnaissance battalion alone cannot quickly take the city. Their reconnaissance also yielded certain results, namely that the enemy had begun to build fortifications a few days earlier, the purpose of which was to prevent the guerrilla brigade that we were going to rescue! Therefore, from the beginning to the end, we were facing the troops that had been prepared for a long time. So, I decided! ”

Suddenly, all the officers were attentive and listened attentively.

"I order, the night raid has lost its lead, and the operation scheduled for four o'clock in the afternoon has been canceled!

We must meet with the reconnaissance battalion in the shortest possible time and launch an assault on the city. I decided that the whole army, regardless of priority, would go straight to Slavdish, and we must take the city in the shortest possible time! Now, let's all go down and get ready. Move the whole army in twenty minutes! ”

The officers knew the speed of the soldiers, and at the end of the emergency meeting, they returned to their camp and immediately put their men in order.

The officers and men of the two regiments suddenly received an order to open the whole army, and they only felt a little strange, and they did not panic at all in their preparations.

The vast number of officers and men had already packed their bags, and everyone had just eaten lunch, that is, a large number of potatoes, and the rest of their time was actually sitting in the camp, or resting against the big trees, waiting for the order to open at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The officer returned to the camp and immediately announced a new situation in which the troops had encountered that a night attack was no longer possible, and the whole army marched to attack Slavzich!

In fact, in just ten minutes, the officers and soldiers organized a queue!

Yang Mingzhi also wore a steel helmet on his head, and a submachine gun was also hung on his chest.

It seems that the commander is dressed as a combat soldier, which has the effect of taking the lead in stimulating morale. In fact, Yang Mingzhi simply felt that the ghost knew what would happen on the battlefield, and it would be too shabby to rely on the little Tokarev in his waist at that time.

But his outfit still greatly boosted morale and made the soldiers feel the oppression of the battlefield.

The officers and soldiers lined up neatly in battalion units, and Yang Mingzhi led the guards to inspect the heavily armed soldiers for a while. They all packed their bags, making everyone a little bloated.

Everyone's weight is not light, and they can walk like flying with this weight, that is, they!

Yang Mingzhi paid attention to his "killer feature", the catfish and the flying fish, two rocket launchers with a total of 40 rounds. These heavy weapons were carried either on the soldier's back or in two, including wooden crates for their launchers.

In addition to these, the secondary heavy weapons were mortars and recoilless guns, which were the backbone of infantry support, and they were carried by strong fighters, and a large number of soldiers carried ammunition boxes on their shoulders.

The powerful firepower of the troops is always based on a strong amount of ammunition, and such a heavy load still makes Yang Mingzhi a little worried.

Balzen is fighting a fierce battle with the enemy, and with only the RPG of the reconnaissance battalion, it is still not suitable for a direct attack on the enemy who has made the city defense.

They are really in dire need of reinforcements, how do they go about them? Yang Mingzhi stroked these flying fish rocket launchers, and a wonderful idea came into being.

The large army officially set off at about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Mingzhi and the officers and soldiers hurriedly bid farewell to the Missy Ferry, and the troops of Anatoly and Volmansky Jr., who remained here, with a large amount of equipment, the whole army still marched at a high speed of 10 kilometers, towards Slavdzich!

Balzen's fighters, on the other hand, relied on the collapsed tree bunkers to shoot at the enemy.

Scouts are elite after all, and their marksmanship is very good, but due to the peculiarities of the combat mode, most of their equipment is submachine guns. Among them are the Bobo and Bo Bo Sha, which are common to the Soviet army, and there are also captured German-made MP38s. These guns were either Makarov or Ruger, in any case pistol rounds.

The pistol bullet still maintained a good accuracy at about 100 meters, but the enemy was hiding at a position of 200 meters, the bullet had already been erratic, and the loss of kinetic energy was also serious.

There were at least more machine gunners in the troops than the enemy, and far fewer riflemen. This is where the embarrassment of the battle lies, if there is a street battle, the huge number of submachine guns of the reconnaissance battalion can sweep away thousands of troops with powerful firepower in the ruins. In a relatively empty battlefield, this can only be the world of full-power rifle cartridges.

Fortunately, the precision marksman skills of the reconnaissance battalion are not covered, and some of them have a record of killing as many as 20 enemies, and this kind of record is still far from receiving the "Great Golden Star" medal, at least the Red Banner Medal is already hanging on the chest.

Many fighters have been honorably proven, and they still want to continue to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. It's a pity that those enemies are like marmots, because they know that exposure will attract "snipers" to shoot, and they are all shrinking turtles.

The enemy only cowered and resisted, but it was always ongoing, and Balzen saw this, and at one point assembled another tentative attack, only to be met with strong resistance.

There were many soldiers in ambush in the enemy's tall buildings, these people had average marksmanship, but many of them were organized to put their guns in a row, and their power should not be underestimated.

While attacking, the reconnaissance battalion did not forget to use RPGs for suppression. Several missiles dragged green smoke directly into the windows of buildings that had been emitted yellow flames, and the explosion of the missiles kicked up a large amount of rubble, and the steel helmets of the Ukrainians in the foxholes were crackled with debris.

The so-called trapped beasts are still fighting, these Ukrainians are out of the way, instead of giving up their positions and fleeing for their lives as Balzen hoped, they are becoming more and more courageous!

Especially two damned machine guns, that's the Soviet Deggalev! The shooter was killed, the sub-shooter was decisive but replaced, the sub-shooter was killed again, and someone continued to pull the trigger.

"Hell! How can these Ukrainians fight so hard! They also had this spirit of sacrifice when they were in the Red Army, how could we lose?! ”

Balzen scolded in confusion, and the company commander Tokov, who was constantly watching the battle beside him, guessed: "These Ukrainians seem to want to establish a new country and break away from the Soviet Union!" It may be that the past has hurt these people too much. ”

"The past? Famine? ”

"Of course, this is one! I think on a deeper level, a lot of Ukrainians don't consider themselves Russian at all! ”

"But we are all Slavs! Whether it's Belarus, Russia, or Ukraine. We are all Slavs, all citizens of the USSR! How can they! As he spoke, Balzen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and roared: "These damned traitors, when the city is taken, I don't want a single prisoner!" ”

He talks so much, if it was easy to break the city, he would have succeeded a long time ago! The current combat is actually very unfriendly to the reconnaissance battalion!

The mode of battle suddenly seemed to go back to World War I, and what should have been a flat path of more than 200 meters suddenly became the road of death! One of the charging companies was actually blocked by enemy fire, exposing the wilderness and charging blindly, and the casualties suddenly increased!

The officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion are nothing special, their flesh and blood are not resistant to bullets, positional warfare is fair to all soldiers, and in this mode of warfare, which side has the most firepower, or has tanks to help, the balance of victory will automatically favor them.

After all, these 600 Ukrainians are just poor in marksmanship, at least almost all of them have served in the Red Army, and the basic knowledge of operations is very clear. More importantly, this group of people hid in their positions and insisted on shooting, and their determination to fight was also very strong.

Seeing that he would suffer a big loss if he continued to attack, Balzen hurriedly ordered the line to be moved back. He knew that maybe if he continued to attack, he would definitely be able to tear a hole in the enemy's defense, but the unnecessary casualties were too serious! The reconnaissance battalion was all elite soldiers, and such battle losses could be described as heavy losses. Take Slavdzich at the cost of a crushing victory, and he can drink bullets to apologize!

In this way, the Ukrainians, who were under huge defensive pressure, breathed a sigh of relief, especially the battalion commander Moise, who was closely following the battle situation, and he was finally able to feel a little more at ease.

There was only one thing he could never be at ease with, and that was that these enemies actually used rocket-propelled grenades! He knows very well that this weapon is a new type of weapon that both the Soviet Union and Germany began to use after the outbreak of the war, and its existence has greatly improved the individual anti-tank ability, and the most terrifying thing is that it is used as an anti-infantry weapon!

The fighting has turned into a stalemate again, and Balzen needs to restabilize the forces, as do the Ukrainians.

The commander of the Ukrainian battalion, Moise, sent a telegram to the regiment headquarters again with indignation, "The enemy used rocket-propelled grenades, and the power is huge!" Slavdzich is defending hard, we need reinforcements. ”

Because he sent too many telegrams asking for help, it almost made the head of this Ukrainian police regiment lose patience! But what can the regimental commander do? This small and remote city in Slavtich would have been abandoned if it weren't for the fact that a small rebel army was active in the forests here!

Therefore, the regiment commander directly ignored the information that "the rocket-booster grenade was not ejected", and did not analyze it again to judge that this was not actually the 17th guerrilla brigade of the Soviet army.

The regimental commander responded with an unchanging order to the telegraph operator that the nearest German sentry post was already on the way!
