When the German army retreated, the team was relatively orderly. They gathered all available carriages and carried the wounded aboard, even the dead bodies they found.
As long as conditions permit, the German army will collect the bodies of its fallen, except those who were actually blown to pieces.
During the Soviet counterattack, Muller's artillery suffered certain losses. One field gun was damaged, but the other five were intact.
The Soviet shelling did not cause catastrophic losses to the Germans. The main reason was that the foxholes dug by the Germans saved their lives. However, the ruins were no longer safe, and they had to find another place to establish a position.
The German army collected as many as 300 wounded, wounded and dead people, and the strength of the entire army was weakened.
Muller's troops continued eastward along the road they came from for a full five kilometers, and relied on a few clusters of woods to gain a foothold.
"The artillery set up a position immediately! The infantry battalion immediately set up a circular defensive position! The logistics battalion immediately counted the reserve ammunition!" Muller ordered, and his men immediately carried it out.
Muller's new camp was finally established twelve kilometers away from Loev. In order to avoid unexpected bombardment, the new camp was very large, and the maximum distance between the two camps reached two kilometers.
"Damn the Russians, this time I have placed my troops in the woods, and we are hiding in the dark. Once you attack, it will be up to us to fight back." Muller thought this way, and he believed that before the new order was issued,
, I can finally sit back and relax.
The German soldiers were like groundhogs, digging foxholes at the edge of the woods. Their uniforms were gray, and lying on the ground easily blended into the humus under the woods. Only the snipers with the sharpest eyes could
Only then can we see the hidden German soldiers clearly.
Muller also waited for the troops to stabilize before sending a telegram to nearby friendly forces. Soon, he also received a reply from the Waffen SS and the 634th Division.
It turned out that all the units were engaged in fierce battles with the Soviet troops today. The fighting actually started at dawn, and all units suffered losses. However, the initial goal of the operation, which was to capture Loev and clean up the Soviet troops near Loev, was already very far away.
OK done.
"That's great. The first mission objective has been completed as scheduled. Next, the superiors will order our unit to find the main force of the Soviet army to fight, right?" Muller thought so, but after seeing the enemy's artillery bombardment, he no longer had the courage to set off.
Confident.
There are currently two problems plaguing him. One is that the wounded must be transported away immediately, and the other is that the police group assisting in the operation must quickly transport a batch of ammunition.
The order was sent via radio to the police regiment four kilometers away from Muller. The puppet infantry regiment, whose equipment was only at the level of the German World War I, had just established a foothold in the new camp.
Muller's bombardment losses and battles consumed a batch of ammunition. The only way he could think of to replenish it was to ask for it from friendly forces.
His decision was certainly correct, and it was absolutely impossible for the puppet army to launch a surprise attack on delivering supplies to Mueller at this point in time.
Because, the Soviet army that took the initiative to attack came over!
Just when Muller had just transferred the tactics of the entire regiment, Roshakov, in accordance with the order of the headquarters, ordered the Jewish regiment at the southernmost end of the front to launch operations.
Since the commander requires that the pursuit force should not exceed two battalions, then two battalions will be sent to fight.
At first, Roshakov planned to send his direct descendants to participate in the war, but Kravsky, whose foot injury had not healed, made a suggestion that was difficult to object to.
"It's too long to mention that the fascists are killing Jews like crazy. Almost all of the Jewish fighters in the Third Regiment of our Independent Regiment escaped from the German concentration camps. They have become meat on the chopping block. This precious opportunity to fight back must be grasped by them."
Indeed, if the troops had not attacked the train, half of the Third Independent Regiment, the Jewish Regiment, would have turned into dust.
Rosakov ordered Vasilyev to organize two battalions to launch a pursuit. He was also worried about the firepower of these troops, and ordered the only tank unit, Chekov's two BT tanks, to join the battle.
The bt fast tanks rushed to the Jewish regiment's defense area at lightning speed, and Vasilyev also organized the troops that were about to go into battle.
He even made an impassioned pre-war mobilization: "All Jewish fighters, fascist Germany has killed too many of your people, and they intend to wipe the entire Jewish nation off the face of the earth! So I understand your attitude very well, that is
Counterattack, counterattack at all costs. This time, if we take the initiative to attack, I know that there are no cowards among you. All of you are avengers, because you are fighting the devil. Either die in battle or kill the enemy.
Everyone follow me, Ulla!"
The movement to return to Zion has spread among Jewish communities around the world for decades, and Jews across Europe are also faced with a choice. They first resurrected the Hebrew language, and then began to immigrate to the land of promise.
There is no doubt that the outbreak of World War II completely disrupted the millennium plan of this nation and even brought it to the brink of extinction.
Vasilyev had been with this group of Jews for a long time and had developed an affection for them. He personally defeated two battalions and, under the cover of two tanks, pursued them along the ruts of the German army.
Among the officers and soldiers of the two battalions, Jews accounted for 80%. And in terms of fighting will, Vasilyev believed that the Jewish soldiers were excellent. Under the atrocities of the German army, their hatred turned into a strong fighting will.
It's just their technical and tactical disadvantages that determine that they are not elite at all.
They have only learned the basics of elite troops, such as the inverted triangle offensive formation deployed during pursuit, and the cooperation with the three-by-three combat team. The most critical shooting skills and the ability to withstand pressure during combat are very poor.
The morale of the two battalions of Soviet troops was very high. For many people, this was the first time they took up arms to avenge the Germans. They marched very fast, and they caught up to the new German camp in just one hour after setting off.
Vasilyev, who personally led the team, had no idea how far the German troops had traveled. Did they suddenly set up camp, or did they move non-stop to Loev?
Infected by the roaring aura of his subordinates, his head felt hot for a moment, and he did not do any advanced reconnaissance at all.
The offensive and defensive momentum of the Soviet and German armies changed.
The German soldiers who were in a defensive posture suddenly saw figures appearing in a small open space in the distance. A platoon leader raised his binoculars and saw a large group of armed men wearing civilian clothes.
The urgent information was immediately sent to Muller's regimental headquarters, and the regimental commander was so shocked that he ran to the outermost front line.
He raised the telescope and took a look, and the initial nervousness was gone.
"Haha, I thought the Russians here were very smart. They actually escaped from the cover of the forest and rushed towards me?"
Muller immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle. He estimated that the Russians did not know their defense lines. He had the initiative, so he moved the Russians closer and then attacked.
"Commander. Inform the first battalion to place the enemy at 200 meters before attacking. Inform the second and third battalions to move to the left and right wings respectively after the battle begins, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Order the artillery battalion to wait for an opportunity to bombard the enemy in front of our defense line.
Attack in depth.”
In fact, Vasilyev did not intend to cross this forest. He estimated that the German army bypassed the woods and headed east. As a result, a sudden storm of bullets and dazzling green tracer bullets hit him hard in the face!
The Soviet army encountered a tenacious resistance.
