Chapter 676: The Heights Are Lost
The Germans were shelling the heights, the trees were being knocked down, and for a while the branches were flying, and the machine gunners who were still lying in ambush were suffering. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The only thing he was thankful for now was that the two girls hadn't gone back since they were withdrawn, so where were they now?
Balzen shouted loudly, and ordered the soldiers to call over the star fruit and Natasha, who were looking for a suitable sniper position.
The two girls were ready for battle, they were no different from other warriors, their faces and arms were covered with ash, which could not hide the murderous aura that burst into their eyes, and a trace of fear.
Without hesitation, Balzen pointed to the high ground that was still being bombarded, and shouted at a loud voice: "Natasha, now you see it, right?" If I had just let you go, I wouldn't have been injured by now, or even ......"
He didn't go on, and Natasha knew that if she and star fruit were still there, she might have been sacrificed.
Wars are often so sudden, and death is often sudden. Seeing the current situation, Natasha only felt a secret chill in her back, and she never thought that one of her thoughts almost killed her!
Balzen didn't say this nonsense, he ordered: "Natasha, Besica, now you two stay by my side and follow the command at all times. We are ready, the enemy will soon attack! ”
……
The German army did not have much ammunition reserves for its six medium-caliber mortars, because the ammunition was really carried by people.
Safir knew that he really only had one chance, and after these 80-millimeter shells were gone, he basically said goodbye to heavy weapons. All that remains are a number of fifty-millimeter miniature mortars equivalent to the power of a grenade, which, although the firing range is 800 meters, is very accurate, and the effect that can be achieved is a drop in the balance.
Soon, six mortars came under fire. A wooden box contained only four shells, the ammunition boxes were empty, and the artillerymen waited for the next order after reporting the situation.
"It's finally time to attack, it's time to make a break with you!" Throwing down the cigarette he was holding between his fingers, Safir stepped on it a few more times.
He decisively gave the people of the Oriental Battalion to start moving, and at this time, the German Oriental Volunteers, composed of three nationalities, had to form a huge skirmish line and leave the forest where they were hiding. More than 1,000 people, under the orders of the German army, began to run wildly with a loud roar.
Just behind them, the German machine gunners, covered by fire, began to shoot wildly.
The people of the Eastern Battalion also knew that this firepower was not only used to suppress the Soviet army, but as long as there was an act of retreat, it could also be turned into a sharp weapon to slaughter themselves at any time. Everything seems to go back to World War I, the warlords and the enemy set up machine guns, and the soldiers trapped in the middle really have only one way to survive, and that is to storm!
Therefore, Safir and Speer saw the unexpected scene, this group of guys wearing earth-colored cotton clothes and M36 steel helmets, they were simply doping!
"To make a warrior braver, it's a good idea to take that medicine. Obviously, this group of guys just doesn't want to die, the more afraid they are of death, the more they want to live, where is their feint, it's just a fierce attack! Even Saafir, who looks down on these people, has to be admired.
Speer paused and said, "Look, our soldiers, they won't lose to those Eastern volunteers." Safir let's attack too. ”
"Okay!"
As Safir gave the order, a green incendiary bomb rose into the air.
……
At this moment, Balzen had ordered the whole army to shoot at the frantically charging enemy, and for a time the gunfire in the camp resounded through the sky.
Star fruit and Natasha no longer care about these horrific volume of gunfire, let alone whether their hearing will be affected. Both men, like Balzen, clutched their rifles and began to shoot at the enemy.
The merciless bullets took the lives of many people, and the attacking Eastern Battalion soon suffered huge losses. Even so, their charge speed remained unabated.
During this period, some people were indeed afraid of the precise firepower of the Soviet army, and involuntarily lost their guns and retreated, which also led many people.
This act could not be hidden from the eyes of the Germans!
"No retreat is allowed, and those who retreat without permission will be executed immediately!" An officer shouted loudly, but the sound quickly drowned out the gunshot.
Bullets from behind frantically pierced through the retreating men, and they fell to their deaths.
It turns out that if you retreat, you will be killed! When the people behind prison completely gave up the idea of retreating, some people wondered if it was a wise choice to join the German army in order to survive and help the Germans fight.
But for a lot of people, they don't need to think about it anymore because death has already come.
Because of the strong firepower of the Soviet army, the Eastern Battalion, which had no heavy weapons and no tank cover, encountered a strong resistance, and they had to slow down their movements, and even crawled on the ground and fired at the Soviet troops.
Balzen has always felt that he is thanks to a group of veterans, and the advantage is still very great. It wasn't until an incendiary bomb suddenly appeared in the sky that he realized that something big was going to happen.
I saw that on the other side of the forest opposite, a large group of black shadows actually appeared. They appear very abruptly, and are clearly running towards a location.
"Oh no, these guys are real Germans, and they're actually hitting the high ground!?" Balzen was taken aback and threw the telescope directly. Excited, he ran directly to the telegraph operator Misha, pulled the young man's clothes and shouted fiercely: "Contact Evgeny for me, let his people go to the high ground, and the enemy must be resisted by me!" Resist at all costs! ”
The fact is that almost all of the machine gunners who were previously shelled by the Soviet troops on the high ground died, and only one group, enduring the pain of their limbs, continued to operate an MG34 to shoot at the attacking Germans.
Unfortunately, if this was a water-cooled Maxim, its superior fire persistence might have forced the Germans to slow down their attack.
The MG34 was jammed due to overheating of the barrel, and the Germans charged even more fiercely after realizing that the enemy's defensive firepower was greatly reduced.
Some soldiers in the German army, about 500 meters from the ground, smashed the base weighing 20 kilograms on the soil, and the small-caliber mortar was installed in only a dozen seconds. Fighters with ammunition on their shoulders pounced on the mortar, and a small mortar position was established.
It only took seven or eight minutes for the heavily armed Germans to charge through the 1,000 meters of the wilderness, and in that short time, Evgeny was already carrying out Balzen's new orders, and a company of soldiers carrying machine guns rushed to the high ground.
Nikolaevsky was the company commander who had guided the junior battalion into the army camp, and his company was tasked with blocking the enemy.
Unfortunately, this company had just begun to block after reaching the high ground, and the dense German mortars actually smashed it.
A large number of shells overflowed with explosions, and the power was not as strong as the previous ones, and the frequency of its explosion was too high.
From the Germans' point of view, each group was pouring fire as fast as they could, because they were given the order that this attack must be carried out at great expense!
Each cannon fired a shell in almost four seconds, and a dozen fifty-millimeter "tubes" immediately inflicted a large number of casualties on Nikolaevsky.
Even so, the Soviet soldiers were still holding back, and the wounded soldiers continued to shoot until the blood ran out.
At this time, Balzen finally felt the meaning of fear, and he looked at his right hand in great horror, where the Germans were under attack by the black press! Suddenly, the intentions of the Germans seemed to be very clear.
He continued to drag Misha and yelled, "Give me the high ground!" Command them ......"
Before Balzen could finish his sentence, Misha handed over the headset and walkie-talkie. "Sir, this is a call from the defenders of the heights!"
Balzen took the equipment, and after confirming his identity, he only heard the extremely pessimistic cry of a company commander under Evgeny: "Sir! The enemy's forces are already too many! We can't beat it! ”
"The enemy must endure it, if they occupy the high ground, they can surround us!" Balzen roared hoarsely.
On the other side, Balzen heard a lament.
"Yes, sir! I will shed my last drop of blood for the Motherland! ”
Nikolaevsky, like thousands of soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, met his fate.
Seeing that the troops had begun to ascend to the high ground, it was clear that the seizure of the high ground was about to succeed.
With this initial success, the subsequent condescending blows to the Soviets, and the sending of superior forces back to their rear for tactical encirclement, the end of this group of Soviets was finally coming.
