Chapter 1318 The collective surrender of the puppet army
The critical strike of the Balzen rocket launcher produced a very loud noise, strong shock waves and air waves, which changed the overall temperature around the explosion core and objectively accelerated the dissipation of the morning fog in this area.
Today is a cloudy day, so the morning fog is thicker. After all, the temperature is slowly rising. At seven o'clock, the visibility is less than 100 meters. By eight o'clock, the visibility has exceeded 200 meters.
The critical hits from the rocket launchers invigorated the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 284th Division. Not only did they know their situation, they also knew that they were about to jump out of their defensive positions and take the initiative to attack.
However, only when the fog has basically dissipated and their commander believes that everything is safe, will he issue the order for the entire army to charge.
The grassroots soldiers put bayonets or bayonets on their guns one after another, and the submachine gunners finally checked their ammunition.
The original heavy infantrymen had all their useless burdens removed, and the only equipment left was their own weapons and reserve ammunition.
They were eagerly looking forward to the Charge, but some alert machine gunners suddenly noticed a large number of unknown objects heading towards the position.
It’s the enemy! It can only be the enemy!
It was a very coincidence that the fleeing German army attacked the defense line of a battalion of the Roshakov Regiment. This regiment was a German weapons regiment, and all its light and heavy weapons were German weapons.
Each MG34 position opened fire immediately, ruthless bullets harvesting young lives. Under the intense strafing, a large number of pine tree trunks were penetrated by the warheads, and more than a dozen trees were simply broken!
The German soldiers on the front line immediately suffered a large number of casualties. Those who were lucky to be alive immediately ran eastward instinctively, trying to escape the stormy barrage.
Because it was an unexpected situation, Roshakov was greatly shocked. He was about to explain to Balzen his troops' assessment of friendly rocket launchers, but he never thought that the German army would actually start the fourth round of attack.
The communication between each other was connected, and Roshakov yelled at the walkie-talkie at the top of his lungs: "Balzen, you idiot! Your rocket launcher bombed the Germans to us! They are attacking our position crazily!"
"What? Roshakov! The Germans attacked the defense line of your first regiment?"
"It's true. Didn't you hear the roar of the machine gun? It's crazy."
Balzen closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds. He instantly constructed a battlefield picture in his mind.
At present, he himself could not get a clear figure for the number of besieged German troops. Judging from the reconnaissance assessment of the parachute brigade, the number should be around 3,000. In this battle, the Soviet army was fighting with more troops than with fewer troops!
The Soviet army established a semicircular encirclement, except for the Dnieper River chasm, which was more than 200 meters wide to the east.
Balzen hurriedly asked: "Rosakov, can your people hold on? I will order the troops to reinforce you!"
"No need, I have found that the invading enemy has begun to weaken, and they cannot break through our machine gun defense line. I can no longer take care of your troops and other friendly forces. Now that the fog has dissipated a lot, I am going to launch a general attack! You
Just stay at your defense line and don't move, to prevent the enemies in Loyev City from waiting for an opportunity to escape!"
Communication was suddenly interrupted, and Balzen suddenly realized that his friendly forces seemed to be carrying out a feast to annihilate the enemy. Roshakov was afraid that he wanted to seize as much credit as possible for this battle. Obviously in this battle, the task force
This is already the sixth day since the departure. Could it be that the first regiment will write the final chapter of the battle? Bah!
Balzen's head was bursting with veins, and he urgently ordered his subordinates to take the initiative to attack. Only Yevgeny's troops stayed to continue to guard against the enemy's breakout in Loyev City.
The task force dispatched 800 troops. Under the personal leadership of Balzen, they formed an inverted triangle offensive formation and ran towards the north. Because this was a head-grabbing battle, the soldiers were all lightly armed and yelled "Ula" while running wildly.
They ran very fast, and after only ten minutes, the battle suddenly broke out.
Balzen held a German submachine gun in his arms and took the lead in the charge. This behavior instantly ignited the fighting enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion.
They collided with a police group that was once overwhelmed. This group of puppet soldiers was leaderless. Under the sudden attack of bullets and grenades, many people actually gave up resistance.
Many puppet soldiers threw away their guns and knelt on the ground with their hands raised. This was the only chance they could think of to survive. However, there were still Soviet soldiers with red eyes who killed them, regardless of whether they had surrendered or not. Anyone who saw the front
Human figures are shot indiscriminately!
Balzen noticed all this and shouted as loud as he could: "Brothers, don't shoot indiscriminately. Capture prisoners as much as possible. The commander will reward you with a can of beef for every prisoner you capture!"
Canned beef has always been a delicacy in limited supply. Is there anything more delicious than it?
Balzen's promise of material rewards quickly curbed the Soviet army's indiscriminate killings.
The majority of soldiers knew that there was a group of puppet troops among the enemy in Lai Fan. In fact, whether they were puppet troops or German troops, it would be easier to kill them with one shot. In order to eat canned meat, after the soldiers found out that the surrenderers were puppet troops, they all spoke Russian.
He cursed, explained the policy of surrendering guns and not killing, and then ordered the prisoners of war to stand up.
Balzen led eight hundred warriors to attack. He never expected that he would be entangled with a group of puppet troops.
It has to be said that this group of puppet troops collapsed at the first touch. After a short capture, Balzen really had a bumper harvest.
Only a dozen people died in the attack, but they captured hundreds of prisoners of war.
No! The number of prisoners of war is not a hundred at all! This group of puppet soldiers are wearing Czech-style military uniforms, the color is somewhat different from that of the German army, especially the black boat-shaped hats on their heads are even more unique.
More and more of these specially dressed people were captured. After they were quickly gathered together, the Soviet army had to send a large number of personnel to guard them, making it inappropriate to continue the attack.
Balzen immediately ordered the troops to stop the pursuit and establish a defense line at the current location.
More than two hundred soldiers were arranged in a long snake formation, ten meters apart from each other. After setting up defenses, Balzen came to see the prisoners of war he had captured with regret and expectation.
Surrounded by more than a hundred Soviet soldiers with machine guns, the sitting crowd was really crowded.
"It's incredible! How many prisoners did we capture?"
Balzen was talking to himself, but soon a soldier came over to report.
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, we did a rough count and found that there are more than 900 prisoners of war. It is estimated that the final number may be 1,000!"
"What? A thousand people?!" Balzen was trembling all over after hearing this data.
In the battles so far, there has never been a precedent of capturing a thousand people in a single battle.
"Okay, the troops don't need to attack anymore, the rest of the honor will be left to the friendly forces. Now, I can let the commander take a look first!"
Balzen muttered something happily and stared at the prisoners of war again.
He shouted loudly and his words were quite fierce: "You traitors to our great motherland, I know you were all Soviet citizens, but I didn't expect that you actually served the Germans and became murderers of your compatriots. Don't you have any conscience?"
"Then kill me! If I fall into your hands, I know I will die!"
Originally, Balzen wanted to stand on the moral high ground and condemn these traitors from his conscience. Unexpectedly, there were still traitors who kept their mouths.
"Who is it? Which bastard is it? Stand up for me!"
"That's me!" Then, a man in a torn military uniform and ragged clothes stood up.
"Ah! It's you, you bastard, who dares to say what you just said again!"
"Of course!" The man smiled slightly, then frowned and cursed: "You bunch of Stalin's lackeys, we real Belarusians don't want to be dogs for you Russians!"
"Bah! I am a Belarusian!" a soldier immediately refuted.
The man looked like he was willing to die generously and continued to choke: "I can't believe that we in Belarus also have many Stalin's lackeys and many Russian lackeys."
"Asshole! You Nazi lackey, go to hell!" The furious soldier quickly raised his gun and opened the man's head. This move shocked Balzen.
Not only that, the Soviet soldiers were stimulated by what they just said, and everyone shouted: "Kill them! Let these traitors die!"
"No! Shut up!" Balzen raised his submachine gun and fired a warning shot, and then stabilized the situation. He emphasized in particular: "I tell you, you are not allowed to kill prisoners now! It is too easy for these people to shoot them directly! We must let them
They are worse off than dead!"
These harsh words and what just happened made all the soldiers tremble. What is the so-called life is worse than death? Now that we are in the hands of these Soviet soldiers, a happy death is probably a luxury.
