On the way forward, Quetzal used the German army's special frequency to make contact with Loev's defenders.
The garrison battalion commander Krist was very excited. He then cooperated with the reinforcements to fight, and the surviving people could escape from this abandoned city. The Soviet army continued to bombard the city. For several days, the defenders had long been accustomed to this kind of shelling. Kolist
The order to break out was issued, and the more than 400 people who could still fight immediately felt as if they had been given a shot of blood.
However, there were still many wounded people and civilians who could not escape. Krist was so cruel that he simply gave up on them.
On the other hand, the scouts sent by the German army finally touched the Soviet defense line.
The soldiers on the front line received orders to fight anyone on sight. A few swaying figures were knocked down, and a very few German scouts died. Those who were still alive quickly left the battle line.
The German scouts knew that they were not the ones who would take the lead, but the police group, and Loev's battle to relieve the siege had begun in full force.
The sound of gunfire also attracted the attention of all the officers and soldiers of the police regiment that was advancing steadily. After hearing the gunshots, the commander of the regiment ordered all officers and soldiers of the regiment to stop. These puppet soldiers, who only wore black boat-shaped caps, knew that they were known as cannon fodder.
, if you retreat without any reason, you may be convicted and shot by the German army. The soldiers are waiting for the decision of their regiment commander, and the regiment leader himself is waiting for the information from the German scouts.
Several scouts ran out of the forest, and a few came back from the plains.
"I heard gunshots. Are the enemies setting up defenses in front?" the regiment leader asked worriedly.
"Yes, we have touched the enemy's defense line. They have dug out field offensives and blocked our way to rescue Loyev! You must carry out the order of our regiment leader and take the lead in fighting a bloody road to rescue the people in Chengli.
come out."
"Alright alright……"
The head of the police regiment sighed deeply. They were so close to the enemy that if they took a few steps, they would be within the range of their large-caliber mortars, if they had any.
The police regiment had no excuse to stay in place any longer. The regiment leader knew that it was definitely not a good idea to rush forward with the entire regiment when the enemy's situation was still unclear. As a compromise, he ordered a battalion to conduct a tentative attack.
The training of the puppet troops recruited by the German army is German-style, but the training period is only one month. During the training, they mainly conduct queue exercises and German-style team rushes. As for the bullets used for training, they do not consume much. It can be said that
, these people's marksmanship is average.
They achieved certain results as general security patrols and against guerrillas. However, against the Soviet regular army, their poor combat effectiveness was revealed.
Just like the German squad, there were ten puppet soldiers in each squad, and they formed a skirmish line. The entire battalion arranged a skirmish line with a width of nearly one kilometer, while the width of the riverside plain was only two kilometers.
They walked on the grass that was submerged to their knees, watching the front with vigilance.
The elite troops led by Balzen they were about to face had three lines of defense prepared in front of them, and they also formed a crossfire between them. Balzen knew how the battle would end. Only this group of attacking troops
The puppet soldiers felt uneasy.
The figures of the puppet troops gradually broke away from the cover of the woods, and a large number of shaking figures were spotted on the distant horizon by the Soviet officers and soldiers. All the grassroots officers who had telescopes raised them, and they even saw the enemy's face clearly.
Balzen looked carefully. He had seen too many Germans on the battlefield, and there were differences in the faces of Russians and Germans.
The enemy coming to Fan is not the German army, but a group of traitors to the great motherland.
"It's so sad. You sacrificed your lives for the Germans, but in exchange you were killed by your compatriots. Is it worth it?" Balzen clenched his fists. He observed closely, and with the treasure-like high-power telescope in his hand, he could really see many details.
.
These enemies are not equipped with any heavy weapons. Almost all of them are armed with rifles, and there are very few machine guns.
They are a group of lightly-armed infantry. To deal with this kind of troops, it would be a waste to let all the RPGs and recoilless rifles of the army attack them! After all, he had already consumed a lot of ammunition when shelling Loev!
He ordered the messenger: "Immediately apologize to all frontline troops and inform all machine gunners, RPG operators and artillery positions not to fire unless the enemy advances to 200 meters away from the position."
The messenger ran very fast, shouting as he ran, and the order spread quickly, even to the troops fortified in the forest.
In this way, the armaments of both the enemy and ourselves seemed to have been forcibly leveled by Balzen. Even so, the puppet army was still at a huge disadvantage.
These puppet soldiers have clearly seen the turned land ahead, and the wooden sticks standing up are an ominous omen - they have pulled some barbed wire!
As the danger ahead became increasingly dangerous, the puppet troops continued to advance. Finally, they reached the bottom line of the Soviet army's 400-meter battle.
All the troops began to implement the combat orders one after another, and the battle became a feast for precision shooters!
However, there were still some machine gunners who couldn't resist the urge to shoot, and bullets rained down on the skirmishers in front of them.
The puppet troops were mowed down one after another like grass being cut, and more of them were named by precision shooters.
Those SVT40s and Mosin Nagants equipped with PU sights have become absolute murder weapons. All targets that appear in the triangular sight are mercilessly shot.
"Everyone, get down! Get down!" The puppet battalion commander was lying on the ground, waving his right hand frantically to greet his men.
Most of the people cleverly hid in the grass, nervously listening to the whizzing sound of bullets flying above their heads. Some people's minds were completely blank, and they actually knelt down and continued to pull the bolt and shoot. The few machine gunners
Controlling the ZB26, they no longer aimed very much and just shot towards the front.
Balzen arrived at the front line with a ball of grass on his head. He only exposed his eyes and held up a telescope to see the enemy's movements.
"These idiots are like cowards, why don't you stand up and let me beat you?"
His guard suggested: "Commander, just let the artillery come in! The enemy always lies down like this, and the battle will last for a long time!"
"Don't worry yet! Our mission is to hold off the enemy until our main force arrives from Homnich, then it's time for us to launch a massive attack!"
"However, we can clearly crush the enemy in front of us."
"It's better to obey the order. Stop saying anything and do your job well!"
The battle evolved into a shooting battle between the two armies. Whoever has better marksmanship and concealment is the key to victory.
The puppet army knew that the Soviet position was just ahead, but they fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. The puppet battalion commander had an unforgettable emotion: "Their marksmanship is so good, it's like there are snipers everywhere. If they are exposed rashly, I will die."
!”
The sound of gunfire became slightly weaker because the puppet soldiers did not carry much ammunition. Once the bullets ran out and they could not replenish them in time at the rear, they could only rely on daggers to protect themselves. The nervousness of the puppet soldiers also accelerated the use of ammunition.
After a lot of consumption, they only brought a basic amount of ammunition, and fired sixty rounds of bullets at the front until there were less than ten rounds left, and each soldier died down.
Some puppet soldiers began to retreat. Under the watch of the battalion commander, several soldiers were retreating with half-bowed bodies. Suddenly they were knocked down by force - they were shot dead!
