All Panzer III tanks were accompanied by a hundred soldiers, forming a powerful assault force. The remaining half-track armored vehicles and Panzer IV tanks served as backup forces.
Balzen suddenly ordered the battle after discovering that the German army was gradually dividing into two parts.
Suddenly, a roar came from the forest. Flesch, who was still standing half up to observe the city of Loev, turned his head suddenly. In an instant, he saw several things with white tails flying over unstoppably.
This was the last thing the assault squadron leader saw, because the war that belonged to him, his life, and the tanks that belonged to him were turned into pieces in this straight rocket attack!
The frontal armor of the Panzer IV has indeed been enhanced to a great extent to be immune to the most disgusting RPG close-in bombardments, but its side armor is still too weak. Besides, if a rocket launcher like the Katyusha fires flatly and hits, even if
The main battle tanks of later generations can be blown up because their explosive charge is too large!
Five Catfish rocket launchers hit the attacking No. 4 tank with a man's head at a very low firing angle.
Just five seconds after it was launched, the ambushing Soviet army saw a violent explosion. One tank was completely blown over, and another turret was blown off. Finally, the turret fell, and the barrel was inserted into the soil, like a
Weird lollipop!
The three proud Panzer IV tanks of the German army were ambushed by Soviet rocket launchers and turned into scrap metal in an instant.
The German troops in the rear suffered heavy casualties. The personnel inside many half-track armored vehicles were transported by the shock. More than 100 people in the rear, 20 of them, were pierced by debris or had their internal organs shattered and were killed on the spot. Another 20 people suffered from tremor-induced injuries.
Even if you are in a coma, you still want to continue fighting? Unless you first suppress the involuntary trembling of your hands.
Balzen did not expect the five rockets to achieve huge results. He estimated that the German losses would definitely be significant, and it was time to send people to "pick peaches."
"Commander, inform those traitors that the opportunity to make atonement has arrived!"
As a result, four hundred re-armed former police regiment puppet troops suddenly transformed into the Soviet Red Army and launched an attack on the German Waffen SS.
Four hundred people shouted "Ula" and charged with Mosin Nagants mounted on spears.
In the extreme chaos, many German soldiers saw the people who suddenly rushed out, but due to the previous bombardment, the German soldiers did not immediately block them.
Therefore, the charging troops got a precious opportunity. As long as they crossed one kilometer and entered the German camp, the German army's powerful firepower would be difficult to use!
Balzen paid close attention to the movements of this group of people. Out of resentment towards the traitors, he did not order the troops to launch fire cover. Of course, the simple Soviet soldiers were unwilling to help this group of traitors. Since this was their act of atonement,
You have to atone for your sins purely by your own efforts.
The 400-meter chargers only began to be blocked by German firepower when they rushed to a distance of 300 meters from the German camp.
Some German machine gunners endured the discomfort and began to attack. They were all shooters with little quality. They knew that the MG34 should fire in short bursts, so they were naming the attackers one by one.
Anyone who is shot is hit by multiple bullets, powerful eight-millimeter heavy machine gun bullets, killing them instantly.
For a time, those at the forefront fell to the ground and died, but the German army's blockade did not stop the attack.
Destiny is always so unpredictable and always sad. The officers and soldiers of the puppet police regiment are surrounding the small city of Loev. More than ten days ago they were fighting the Soviet army, but today they are actually fighting the Germans. No matter what
Whoever fights, they are the ones on the front line, and they are the ones who suffer heavy casualties.
No matter what kind of complaints there are, it is meaningless. The only way to survive is to continue rushing.
The attackers rushed forward one after another. Nearly 200 people died on the spot on the way to the charge. The remaining people finally broke into the German camp, and a bayonet battle broke out!
Many unprepared German soldiers were killed by gunshots, and after the battle turned into hand-to-hand combat, the German machine gunners did not dare to shoot indiscriminately. Who would shoot at the risk of killing their comrades?!
Because of the hesitation of the German army, and based on the former puppet army's major fighter aircraft, in order to atone for their sins, they actually fought more and more bravely, and for a while they gained the upper hand.
Not wanting to suffer the immediate losses, the German troops retreated one after another. It was not until the machine guns on the top of the half-track armored vehicles at the rear burst out with powerful firepower that they finally suppressed the roaring Russians temporarily. In the process, the German troops inevitably injured their own people.
However, the trembling sound of the rocket launchers was still there, and the German troops were delayed in their actions.
Balzen, who was closely observing the battle situation, realized that the Germans who had just entered the city were now leaving the city one after another.
"No, the enemy is coming back for reinforcements! Order the artillery to bombard those tanks!"
The ambushing Soviet army finally opened fire, and the recoilless rifles focused on the Panzer III tank. Thanks to the well-chosen position, the shells hit the side armor one after another. The 70mm high-explosive warhead could not penetrate the Panzer III tank at a distance of one kilometer.
The side armor was armored, but the tremor caused might stun the pilot inside, but it could still prevent the Germans from moving.
Seeing that the recoilless guns were unable to achieve good results, Balzen became furious and ordered the rocket launcher troops: "Fire five more rounds from each position, aiming at the enemy tanks!"
The four Panzer III tanks that were first exposed were soon caught in a tragic explosion. Although they were not directly hit, the violent shock wave still caused the parts inside the tanks to collapse one after another. All the drivers inside suffered from broken internal organs and bleeding.
And die!
The Germans were deeply aware that they were encountering a tough situation, and also realized that the Soviet army had ambushed many troops in the forest. Some machine gunners immediately began to suppress fire in the forest. The bullets knocked down a large number of branches, but no Soviet soldiers were hit.
On the other hand, the former puppet troops, who had been suppressed for a time, successfully launched a counterattack with the help of several machine guns captured in a surprise attack and a small number of rear recoilless rifles.
The battle at the rear of the German camp completely turned into a battle between the former puppet troops and the puppet troops. Although they only had more than 200 people alive, they gained a huge advantage against the dozens of German soldiers who could still fight. In the end, there were only three half-track armored vehicles.
They had to retreat, and in the end only fifteen people escaped from this damn battlefield.
The former puppet army won a small victory, but the battle was not over. Half of their people died, and they immediately faced the German troops who came out of the city.
The tank artillery bombardment of the remaining three Panzer III tanks caused chaos to the former puppet army! The German-made RPG used by the German army also continued to be ejected, and the high-explosive warheads designed to hit infantry quickly caused a large number of casualties.
The charging former puppet troops finally couldn't hold on any longer, and they began to retreat toward the forest!
Balzen was not angry at all about the retreat of this group of people, because he was very happy that the war situation was like this! "These traitors actually fought bravely? In this case, why did they serve the German army in the first place? But now they are fighting again.
It is not too late to conquer the country."
In fact, after this battle, the ambush Soviet army's attitude towards this group of people changed greatly. Therefore, under Balzen's order, the troops covered the retreating troops with firepower instead of using bullets to urge them to go back and fight again...
