Loev's German troops could not believe their eyes. They saw a large number of policemen fleeing back along the road.
When the police group was retreating, they also urgently used a radio to call for help. The correspondent even ignored the confidentiality regulations and shouted directly into the microphone: "We have encountered the main force of the Soviet army, and they are preparing to attack the city!"
The information is extremely brief and the effect is extremely explosive.
The commander of the 634th Division, Hendryson, who was on the left bank of the Dnieper River, believed it to be true. He asked Chief of Staff Schmidt: "It's really too bad. The Soviet army moved much earlier than I expected, and it was earlier than you expected.
Are they really going to attack now?"
Schmidt pinched his chin and shook his head: "The Soviet attack is already a fact, and we must defend. Thank God, we are still prepared in advance. You are the division commander, and it is all up to you how to deploy the troops."
"Okay, let's start the troop mobilization plan we just made now." Hendrickson sighed slightly, "I thought the war was going to start tomorrow. Since it started in advance, I can only respond hastily."
As a result, the 634th Division immediately issued several orders.
First: The entire police regiment entered the outskirts of Loev and used the dug foxholes to launch a blockade. The blockade was successful for at least two hours until the German artillery set up artillery positions at the new location.
Second: Griffin Regiment, the infantry regiment stationed in Loev, dispatched three battalions to detour from the north of Loev to the forest in the west. They actively attacked the attacking Soviet army in the forest and determined the precise location of the main force of the Soviet army.
For accurate artillery bombardment.
Third: The Nacht Regiment, an infantry regiment, used kayaks to cross the river. The troops who successfully crossed the river immediately entered the forest to assist the Griffin Regiment.
Fourth: The infantry regiment Nollenberg's regiment and the logistics regiment Friedrich's regiment all entered the southern defense line to prevent any possible Soviet attempts to move north.
Fifth: The artillery regiment immediately moved its position, tried its best to pass through the potholed dirt road in the forest, and built a new position by the river.
Sixth: The Kuntz Regiment of the Second Logistics Regiment is responsible for the defense of the core camp and preparations for receiving military columns and unloading cargo.
The order has been sent out from the small headquarters. Whether his subordinates can carry it out properly, Hendryson can only trust his subordinates. As for what the Soviet army wants to do, he tacitly agrees that the Soviet army is going to attack the city and that he is facing
It will be a big war.
No matter what direction the war situation will develop, Hendryson can only stay in his headquarters tent and wait for new telegrams from the troops, allowing him to understand the changes on the battlefield and adjust the deployment of the army.
At the same time, the Soviet army is taking active actions!
…
"Brothers, jump into the trenches and fight back against the Bolsheviks immediately. Don't be afraid, the Germans will help us." A puppet platoon leader tried his best to maintain the morale of his troops. More than 30 of his subordinates were frightened.
It is said that the battalion in the front row only withdrew half of its men. The troops were ambushed by the Soviet army, and half of the battalion died in an instant. Such an astonishing casualty rate exceeded the psychological tolerance of the puppet troops, and it was so frightened that all the troops retreated.
Now, they have nowhere to retreat, because there are Germans in the city. If they continue to retreat, the German army will act as a supervising team and shoot all those who retreat.
Cannon fodder is cannon fodder, and the officers and soldiers of the police regiment were stationed in foxholes and trenches on the outskirts of the city, projecting powerful firepower into the forest.
This police regiment already has nearly 2,000 troops. Their weapons are relatively weak. Most of them are Mosin Nagants. Most of the machine guns are ZB26 made in the Czech Republic. In terms of heavy weapons, there are only two water-cooled Maxims and four
Soviet-made 80mm mortars. They do not lack weapons at all, but they are somewhat lacking in firepower.
The number of their troops made up for the lack of individual firepower. The defense line composed of nearly 2,000 men easily suppressed the firepower of a mere 100 men in Balzena.
The ruthless bullets hit the big tree debris and flew down, and a large number of pine needles fell down. Bullets flew overhead, but even so, the Soviet army still chose to block it head-on.
Balzen shouted at the top of his lungs: "Comrades, don't hesitate, kill the enemy calmly! Just hold on and our reinforcements will be here!"
Reinforcements are coming soon? Natasha heard the battalion commander's shouting, but her heart was not much touched.
The girl was lying on her back leaning against the roots of a pine tree, which was a good sniper position. Two balls of cotton soaked with her own saliva were stuffed into her ears. Of course, it reduced a lot of noise, but it was a little difficult to talk to her comrades.
She once again transformed into a Valkyrie on the battlefield and became a pure war machine. This huge and small body trembled with every shot, and the merciless bullets came out of the barrel, spinning rapidly towards five hundred meters away.
The target flies away.
In a melee situation, precision shooters can best use their own advantages. Natasha is a precision shooter first, and a sniper second. She quickly used up two magazines, and Igor on the side also recorded for her.
Suddenly, Igor's left arm was suddenly pulled.
"Natasha, what's going on? I've been watching your actions. You shot nine enemies!"
Natasha didn't speak, and she shook the empty magazine in her right hand. Igor understood and immediately handed over two new ones, and said: "My dear, these are the last two. Don't shoot too fast, try your best."
Aim for the enemy's head and you won't have to reshoot to make sure you kill him."
Natasha couldn't hear what her comrades were saying. She picked up the new magazine, skillfully fastened it to the latch, skillfully pulled the bolt, and continued her shooting.
Igor was not idle either. In order to deal with Natasha's shooting machine, he had to quickly fill its empty magazine with bullets.
…
Based on the analysis of this war, later generations believe that infantry battles often occur within a range of 400 meters, because a human figure 400 meters away is simply a small black dot. It is really necessary to hit the enemy with naked eye mechanical aiming.
Extremely high shooting ability also requires some luck.
Fortunately, Balzen's men had good shooting skills. The distance between the two sides was more than 500 meters, and almost all of the people killed and injured were puppet soldiers.
Especially for Natasha, the battlefield is like her stage. The battle situation is such that she can kill and injure many enemies without taking too many risks, because the puppet troops are stubbornly resisting in those trenches!
Naturally, the Soviet army could not suffer no losses. Due to the crazy strafing from the puppet troops and a small amount of mortar bombardment, Balzen lost several more brothers.
Natasha was still shooting, and she gradually felt that the enemy was becoming more and more insignificant. "Haha, it's obviously your firepower, but why are you turning into a coward one by one? If you charge with all your strength, I will definitely retreat.
.”
She despised these traitors from the bottom of her heart, not only because they helped the invaders fight against her compatriots, but also because they were really cowardly. Natasha even felt a sense of shame in killing such an enemy.
But as a sniper, she must show her value.
A water-cooled Maxim was spewing out tongues of fire crazily. "Hey, isn't that shooter dead? I missed the hit?" Natasha frowned slightly, aimed at that position again, and shot another person cleanly.
After that, her scope did not move away from there. The girl still frowned, and soon saw that another enemy was holding a machine gun and continued to fire.
"Idiot, is there no way to stop you from dying?!"
In this way, Natasha didn't know how to evaluate this group of puppet troops. She shot five machine gunners in the head, and finally forced the water-cooled Maxim to "shut up". Are they brave or cowardly? Knowing that they are
Even if they die, they still continue to wield heavy machine guns and exert firepower. This is obviously bravery. If they are really brave, why do they hide in the trenches instead of charging head-on?
Natasha didn't know, and she didn't need to know. The battle continued in a stalemate, with the Soviet and German armies more than 500 meters away from each other. As Yevgeny arrived with a battalion of reinforcements, the Soviet army still maintained the current situation, only with firepower
It's just an improvement.
Natasha had fired sixty rounds in a row. Her shoulders ached and her whole body was exhausted from the recoil. Finally, the current magazine was empty again.
Natasha unloaded the magazine, threw it to Igor, and shouted: "Give me a new one! Quick."
Igor became anxious on the spot: "Natasha! You have run out of ammunition, do you want to continue fighting?"
"What did you say? I want bullets!"
Igor leaned over and pulled out the cotton from her right ear, "My dear, you have used up all the bullets! Look at the bullet casings next to you!"
"What should we do? The battle is still going on!"
"Forget it! You have already shot thirty-two enemies, what else do you want? You need to rest now, I order you to stop shooting."
"You..." Natasha sounded confused, "Don't order me, I want bullets."
"Silly girl, don't be willful. The commander gave me an order. Once you act excessively, I have the responsibility to stop you! Look at your gun, it's already too hot. And your body. If you continue like this, your shoulders will
You will be severely bruised again, what will you do in the future battles? I order you to immediately retreat behind with me to recover your strength. Don’t forget, the rocket launcher will be launched soon, and we must retreat at full speed."
The last sentence made Natasha, who was pouting dissatisfied, suddenly realize. She didn't want to be accidentally injured by her own weapons, so she wanted to retreat with Igor.
But she glanced at the battlefield most reluctantly, and suddenly noticed something abnormal in the corner of her eyes.
She stared nervously at the rifle scope again, aiming it at the north of the city.
