Fifty people versus eight hundred people.
With such a disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, none of the soldiers of the Ninth Company retreated. Even the wounded endured the pain, leveled the weapons in their hands, and looked at the enemy who was approaching little by little.
The German officers and soldiers in the distance noticed that the Soviet position suddenly became quiet. Instead of continuing to charge, they slowed down their advance. They felt that the situation on the battlefield was a bit too strange and that the Russians in the trenches opposite must have some conspiracy.
But as the German officers and soldiers got closer and closer to the Soviet position, they finally discovered that the Soviet commanders and soldiers did not fire and had no ammunition.
This discovery made the German officers and soldiers excited. The soldiers who were still bending forward cautiously stopped their waists and rushed forward with weapons in hand.
"Comrades, rush!"
After Lieutenant Paul shouted this order, he took the lead in holding the rifle with the bayonet, rushed out of the trench, and bravely charged towards the enemy.
Seeing the company commander taking the lead and rushing out of the position, the rest of the soldiers also burst out with loud shouts and rushed over with bayonets in hand.
Soldiers from both sides suddenly collided with each other. They fought bayonet against bayonet and chest against chest at close range. On the battlefield of hundreds of people, a duel like a medieval cold weapon battle began.
Although the Soviet army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, their stabbing skills were far superior to that of the German army. The German soldiers relied on their numbers to carry out the siege. The officers and soldiers on both sides shouted loudly and fought fiercely with each other.
Thorny, not the slightest bit fancy.
For a moment, no one on the battlefield could do anything to anyone.
The tenacity of the Soviet army was far beyond the expectations of the German division commander. He did not expect that one of his battalions could not gain any advantage when encountering dozens of Soviet soldiers. He stamped his feet angrily: "Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!"
The German Chief of Staff who was standing aside saw the division commander furious. Although he was timid, he still stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, division commander, what are your instructions?"
"The Russians only have a few dozen people, but we have an entire battalion. Why can't we take their positions?"
The tenacity shown by the Soviet commanders and fighters was noticed by the German Chief of Staff. While expressing his admiration, he could not help but worry about the future of his troops. If even the positions held by dozens of people could not be broken through,
So how to capture the heavily guarded town of Yakovlevo?
Isn't one of our infantry divisions enough to contend with a Russian army group? Why is it that now a battalion is unable to advance against a Russian team of less than a hundred men? What is going on?
Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard the division commander's voice calling him, and replied in a panic: "Your Excellency, division commander, I heard that in order to prevent deserters, the Russians deployed light machine guns behind each defensive unit.
Supervisory team. These Russians may have chosen to resist stubbornly because they thought that even if they retreated, they would not be able to escape the fate of death."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." The German division commander felt that what the chief of staff said was somewhat reasonable. If the Russians who were fighting with their own soldiers with bayonets were worried that they would be killed by the supervising team if they retreated, they would definitely not withdraw from the position easily.
However, in order to resolve the battle ahead as quickly as possible, he ordered the chief of staff: "Send two more companies up, and we must break through the Russian defense line in the shortest possible time."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The Chief of Staff said confidently: "Even if the Russians are faster and faster than our army, after all, their numbers are limited and they won't be able to hold on for long. As long as our reinforcements come up, we can kill them all."
wipe out."
The battle continued. Due to the numerical disadvantage, soldiers continued to fall, and the remaining soldiers were also compressed into a small area.
Just when the situation was extremely critical, suddenly there was a "boom" explosion from the crowd. It turned out that a wounded man saw that he was dying, so he pulled off the grenade and died together with a dozen German soldiers around him.
This action of the wounded was an inspiration to the surviving soldiers. When they found that they were injured and could no longer continue fighting, they would light the fuse of the grenade, rush into the middle of the enemy, and die together with more enemies.
The third platoon leader was shot once and stabbed with the bayonets of two German soldiers. After he killed the two soldiers, he felt dizzy and felt that he could not hold on any longer, so he inserted his pistol into his waist.
grenades, ready to rush into the middle of the enemy and die together with them.
But his attempt was discovered by the enemy, and a German soldier rushed up and stabbed his bayonet into his chest. But the third platoon leader grabbed the bayonet pierced into his chest, used up the last bit of strength in his body, and endured the pain step by step towards
He moved forward, forcing the German soldiers to retreat step by step until the grenade exploded, knocking down all the nearby German soldiers.
The soldiers of the Ninth Company fell one after another during the fighting. In less than ten minutes, they all fell in a pool of blood.
It stands to reason that the German officers and soldiers should make a fierce charge this time and rush directly into the position held by the 9th Company not long ago. However, after the recent fight, the German officers and soldiers became timid and hesitant.
At this moment, intensive gunshots suddenly rang out on the position, and a large number of German soldiers who were still standing in a daze were knocked down. Then, they saw countless figures jumping out of the trenches and heading toward them.
Rush over.
It turned out that reinforcements sent by Uzakov had arrived.
Uzakov was worried that the number of troops was too small and would easily suffer when encountering the enemy. Therefore, he organized all the soldiers equipped with assault rifles and formed a special company. They rushed to support the ninth company, and he arrived later with the main force.
.
The intensive firepower and the rushing figures became the last straw for the German soldiers. At first, only a few soldiers ran back. The officers also punched and kicked them and waved their pistols to try to drive them back. But they couldn't hold it back anymore.
The more soldiers joined the fleeing group, the more their flight triggered an even greater rout.
In the chaos, the German commander could no longer control his troops and was forced to retreat backwards by the soldiers.
Just like that, a funny scene appeared on the battlefield. The German army, including reinforcements, numbered nearly a thousand people, but they were defeated by a Soviet team of only more than a hundred people. The German officers and soldiers all wished that their parents had given them to them.
By having an extra leg, you can run faster than your companions and reach a safe place as early as possible.
The commander of the special company who led the charge could not figure out the details of the enemy and did not dare to pursue them too far. After leaving the position for five or six hundred meters, he ordered the troops to withdraw.
On the way back to the position, he ordered his platoon commanders: "Check immediately to see if there are any surviving members of the Ninth Company on the position."
After several platoon leaders agreed in unison, they each returned to their platoons and organized the soldiers to check the battlefield to see if there were any survivors alive.
The company commander returned to the trench and was about to send someone to report to Uzakov, but a platoon commander ran over and reported to him happily: "Comrade company commander, we found Lieutenant Paul, commander of the ninth company!"
"Lieutenant Paul?" Hearing what the platoon leader said, the company commander hurriedly asked, "Have his body been found?"
"No." The platoon leader shook his head and replied: "He is still alive. Although he was seriously injured, he is still alive. I have sent someone to call the health worker and prepare to bandage his wound."
