The so-called reinforcements of the German army were only one platoon, which came quickly on two half-track armored vehicles and four motorcycles.
This small amount of reinforcements is still helpful to the Ukrainians. An MG34 is mounted on the roof of the two armored vehicles, and a ZB26 is also mounted on the passenger seat of the three-person motorcycle. In terms of the Ukrainians' poor firepower,
This reinforcement has a small positive significance.
These German troops came from the inspection post on the edge of the forest east of Slavdich. Normally, the wood cut and transported from this small town would be inspected here. The German troops would also screen civilians passing here, most of whom were lumberjacks.
Or they may be simple farmers, and the possibility of guerrillas cannot be ruled out.
The Germans in this platoon received an urgent order to reinforce Slavdzic. The Germans were unambiguous and immediately drove their cars and drove wildly.
They charged directly along the relatively flat dirt road, which was partly filled with mud. Everyone didn't mind the mud splashed on their bodies and the mud on their cars. It took more than thirty minutes to pass this road.
The total length of the road is four kilometers.
When the German army arrived, the exchange of fire between the Soviet army and the Ukrainian puppet army was still going on. After Balzen's final common-sense attack was frustrated, he decided to thoroughly implement Yang Mingzhi's order.
His precision shooters are located in the front row of the array, relying on bunkers to hide, and looking for stupidly exposed enemies in the field of vision to snipe and kill. The main body of the reconnaissance battalion, hundreds of soldiers, retreated slightly, seizing the time to rectify their equipment, and ate under the sound of gunfire.
Have some dry food and some water.
But the sudden arrival of enemy reinforcements suddenly broke the good show of the reconnaissance camp.
Especially when the two half-track armored vehicles rushed into the city and immediately met with the defenders, they saw the gunfire in the forest and heard the crackling of the armor!
The German platoon leader kept doing nothing. He ordered the soldiers to get off their vehicles one after another, and the entire infantry platoon relied on armored vehicles to start a countercharge.
"Damn it! These guys are German troops! They are not puppet troops! Have German reinforcements arrived?!" Balzen, holding a telescope, stamped his feet and yelled.
The German bullets were like fists, responding to his yelling. The heavy 7.92mm machine gun bullets fired at the bunker occupied by the Soviet army with a kinetic energy of more than 5,000 joules and a super-high rate of fire of more than 1,200 rounds per minute.
Under such firepower, the fallen pine tree serving as a bunker was vulnerable!
Balzen clearly saw that a veteran under his command, a veteran with a record of killing eleven people and wearing the Order of the Red Banner on his chest, was hit by a sudden German bullet. The veteran was not hit by one bullet, but by one bullet.
There were several rounds, each one fatal! His strong body was instantly torn into pieces by the bullets!
The bunker was hit with sawdust flying everywhere, and the Soviet army's firepower was suddenly suppressed. In this kind of combat, whoever comes out of the bunker first is the fool. As long as the Germans see the gunfire, they will immediately fire dozens of machine gun bullets!
After ending his brief state of confusion, Balzen quickly ordered several messengers: "Everyone is hiding for the time being. You will report all RPG operators of the first company to the battalion headquarters!"
There are as many as fifty RPG shooters in the whole battalion, and the reserve rockets are as high as 300 rounds! It is easy to destroy point armored vehicles with such powerful firepower. However, Balzen does not want to waste ammunition. In the first company, the 12th Tokov Company,
After the RPG player arrived, he immediately began to deploy.
Tokov also came personally carrying the launcher, with great incomprehension in his words: "Batalion Commander! If you ask me, we can just launch these ammunition and kill those armored vehicles without wasting time at all.
.”
"No! The distance is too far. Many warheads are destined to miss. We can't waste ammunition! What's more!" Balzen, who was squatting, smiled, "I have to try to learn the strategy from the commander! It seems we can fake a rout."
Lure the enemy deep, and as long as those idiots leave their damn bunkers, we can easily eliminate them! I don't want to waste a lot of time."
"Wonderful! Seconds!"
"Then get ready and wait for my order!"
The Germans knew nothing about the potential dangers, especially since the enemy's firepower was weaker, and they continued to advance with more confidence. They passed through the foxholes of the Ukrainian puppet troops and forced these puppet troops to join the counterattack.
The battle situation was developing in the direction that Balzen liked to see. He observed secretly and determined that about seventy people were carrying out a counterattack. The Germans relied on two machine guns with obviously huge bullet reserves to fire wildly. Balzen estimated that these gun barrels had long been
It was so hot that it was like roasting meat. The Germans were still shooting wildly at the risk of deforming the barrels of their guns. They were simply crazy!
Anyway, these armored vehicles continue to move forward, and they are getting closer and closer to the ambushing RPG operators!
Seeing that the distance is less than a hundred meters, especially those infantry hiding behind the armored vehicles have also formed a skirmish line, the opportunity is ripe!
"Огонь!" Balzen yelled out this Russian word at the top of his lungs, and the soldiers also pulled the trigger.
Twelve rocket-propelled grenades hit the target in the blink of an eye, and their power was actually equivalent to twelve 70mm howitzers.
The two armored vehicles were reduced to parts in an instant, and the bombed metal pieces flew everywhere, and the violent impact swept away all the infantry around them.
Everyone was blown down by the shock wave, and many people died on the spot.
The shock wave of the explosion also knocked down the shooters. Tokov quickly got up, looking at the armored vehicle with black smoke billowing and bursting into flames, roaring excitedly!
"That's great! Battalion Commander! Look at the dead bodies on the ground! If we charge again, we can take down this city!"
Balzen kept a straight face, continued to observe with his telescope, and decisively ordered: "No, we must obey the orders of our superiors!"
Tokov suddenly had an opinion: "Battal Commander! Comrade Commander has no idea about the fighting situation here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While the enemy is fleeing for his life, it is natural for us to pursue the victory!"
"If it doesn't work, it won't work! I know how the enemy has deployed in the city! I know how many Germans have come! Now the situation has changed!"
Balzen estimated that his soldiers had been gearing up for a long time, and he also wanted to fight in his heart. However, the military orders were strong, and he must not attack without permission when his head was hot.
In fact, he was right not to attack rashly. The enemies who escaped the counterattack retreated to their original defense lines. The enemy did suffer a heavy blow, but their determination to defend the city was not broken. Especially those double-story reinforced concrete houses in the city.
Here, riflemen are still stationed one by one.
Balzen was certain that the enemy's authority would not collapse due to the bombing of the armored vehicle. He also mistakenly believed that many German infantry had entered the city from a direction that was not currently visible to him, so the city's defense was greatly strengthened.
Especially after his simple observation, the enemy's defense line has indeed not changed significantly. What supports the fighting belief of these puppet troops?
Therefore, Balzen immediately reported to Yang Mingzhi, especially about the German reinforcements!
He reported in plain language: "The German army reinforced the city, and their armored vehicles launched a counterattack! We used RPG to repel the enemy's counterattack, and the enemy retracted their defense lines and continued to resist! We need support!"
In this report and request, Balzen couldn't help but use the word "танка" because he was a little nervous about the word armored vehicle.
This word was so wonderfully used. It not only shocked Yang Mingzhi, but also convinced him that a large number of German troops had indeed reinforced the city. This situation was unexpected by him. It seemed that he was going to go on a regular basis with the German army.
Let the troops engage in an upright urban assault?!
The time given to Yang Mingzhi to plan tactics was very short. He had some ideas. Before giving the order to the large troops, he first shouted at the radio intercom: "Owl! Keep an eye on the city! Do not attack the city proactively and use sporadic attacks."
Shoot to prove your existence! Wait for the rocket launcher cover I will give you!"
