The Soviet army only had two battalions, but faced the attack of four German battalions.
Even so, Lavrenti, who personally participated in the battle, shouted at the top of his lungs to his subordinates: "Comrades, you must defend this front at the risk of your life until our shark rocket launchers completely destroy Loyev and those damn fascists inside.
destroy!"
The soldiers understood and shouted Ula at the same time!
Gunshots and shouts coexisted, and the attacking German army had to lie down nervously. At the moment when the two armies fought, the Soviet army was indeed the first to open fire. The German army did not get off to a good start. Their attack was blocked but they did not retreat even half a step.
The four German infantry battalions have more than 150 MG34s and a small number of ZB26s. Each infantry squad can carry more than 2,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. Such equipment gives the Germans a huge firepower advantage in frontal firefights.
The Soviet army did not show weakness at all, even though there were only two battalions involved in the blockade. These Soviet troops were also equipped with a lot of machine guns, and more importantly, they were equipped with a large number of RPGs.
The 70 mm caliber RPG warhead that can be fired straight has become a weapon in forest warfare.
It was this new type of weapon that forced the German army to find it difficult to break through quickly. In order not to be used as pure cannon fodder, but also because they were stunned by the powerful firepower of the so-called "main force of the Soviet army", they could only lie behind the bunker and desperately fire dozens of rounds into the general area.
Thousands of bullets.
And this was exactly the containment the Soviet army hoped for.
Griffin, the German commander, roared into the walkie-talkie on the telegraph machine, and the division commander Hendryson, twenty kilometers away, heard it clearly.
"Commander, we have encountered the main force of the Soviet army! They are actually equipped with a large number of RPGs. We advance and defend! I request artillery support!"
This situation surprised Hendrickson and Schmidt.
Schmidt's forehead was covered with sweat. He said with certainty: "In this way, the report of the police group is true and correct. The enemy is equipped with a large number of RPG weapons. They must be the main force. We must send artillery to the river to destroy the main force of the Soviet army!"
"
"Yes! I know, our artillery has moved. My God, if only they could move faster. But! Alas..."
Hendrickson sighed helplessly, because the movement of artillery positions was not instantaneous at all. The artillery had to set up the guns and prepare ammunition. The 634th Division's current artillery shells were actually not many due to previous shelling.
Even with logistical support, there are not many new artillery shells.
Why? At this juncture, isn't the main force of the German army in the south preparing the so-called "blue plan"? A large amount of ammunition and military rations are naturally given priority to them. The 634th Division can not get many supplies of large-caliber artillery shells from Chernigov.
This was not the main contradiction for Hendryson. Before the Griffin regiment sent an enemy attack warning, the artillery regiment also sent a bad telegram.
The so-called artillerymen had abnormal potholes and the bombed-out dirt road full of debris made it difficult to move. The establishment of new artillery positions would inevitably be delayed.
What else could Hendryson do? He could only bite the bullet and order Griffin on the front line: "You try to hold on to the current defense line as much as possible. Since you can't continue to attack, hold on. As for how long to hold on, follow my orders.
Order!"
Just after the order was issued, Hendryson slammed the table and yelled: "That Wagner is a fool! He must have been bribed to become the commander of the group army! Such a fool commanded the German army, and he had no influence on the Soviet army.
We don’t know anything about the situation at all! They were originally responsible for planning and operating this operation, and our 634th Division helped them fight. As a result, Operation RUHE actually turned into a fierce battle between us and the Soviet army! Who is the protagonist!"
Schmidt knew the resentment in the division commander's heart, and also knew the annoyance in his heart. Of course, Schmidt himself was the same. He comforted: "The matter is over, let's not think about those friendly troops. After all, we have ten thousand people, and the Soviet army
How many people are there? Let us assume that there are 20,000 of them. If 20,000 fights 10,000, we will encounter a fierce battle, but our logistics materials are still relatively sufficient and we can continue to carry it. The reinforcements promised by Wagner may already be on the way."
Hearing the word "reinforcements", Hendrickson's mood suddenly improved. "Haha! I hope so."
However, just as he was getting less nervous about the prospect, the red light on the telegraph came on again.
The signal soldier realized that this was a plain language communication and handed it directly to Hendryson: "Mr. Division Commander, this is an urgent report from Commander Nollenberg."
"he?!"
Hendrickson's mind buzzed, and he knew that the fact that his subordinates communicated in plain language only meant that the information was too urgent. In a daze, he seemed to hear a low rumble from the south.
The moment he put on the headphones, all his guesses became facts.
The regiment leader, Nollenberg, shouted heartbreakingly into the walkie-talkie: "Commander! It's not good! The Russians are rushing over like crazy."
"What? Russians? Hold on to me, hold on to me at the risk of your life."
"Teacher, we have been holding on, but..."
"but what?!"
Suddenly, Hendrickson heard a violent explosion, and the communication was suddenly suspended. He was stunned on the spot, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled.
Schmidt asked nervously: "Commander, what did Nollenberg say?"
"He...he didn't say anything more. Because he...his regiment may have been taken over by the Soviet army!"
"What?!" Schmidt was so shocked that he sat on the ground. His mind was as confused as a pot of porridge, and his lips could not help but tremble. He was stunned for a while, and then slowly stood up: "Mr. Commander, we must
Take countermeasures. Those damn Russians, how many of them are there?! Is it possible to break through Nollenberg's defense line just by charging?"
"I...I don't know! Maybe the Soviet army's attack on Loev is fake, and the focus on attacking us is real. I must let the Nacht regiment withdraw. I will give the order now."
Let’s talk about the German commander Nollenberg. He and his men formed a two-kilometer-long defense line. The officers and soldiers of the regiment and the friendly forces of the Friedrich Regiment formed a nearly four-kilometer defense line. The defense line was placed in the forest.
The defense line was 500 meters deep, and the backbone of the firepower was machine guns and mortars. Because the defense line gradually became hasty, the soldiers only dug very shallow foxholes, and some soldiers did not even have time to dig the holes. Large-scale operations
It just started.
After all, the German army was indeed hastily prepared for this RUHE operation. Both Kubet and Wagner underestimated the strength of the Soviet army and tried to sweep the Soviet army across the Pripet Swamp with more than 20,000 combat troops. Reality has severely slapped the Soviet army in the face.
Miroshniko and his comrades, following the orders of commander Yang Mingzhi, launched a massive Ula Charge.
All the soldiers' rifles are equipped with bayonets or bayonets, and their shooting skills are very average. However, roaring charges and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, Lao Maozi has a natural advantage in this aspect since ancient times - in terms of recklessness and death-defying madness.
Yes, they are indeed ranked high in the world.
But the Soviet troops were not completely reckless, and they were not all armed with rifles. They were also equipped with recoilless rifles and RPGs. These two weapons allowed the troops to display good firepower when charging.
In the woods, RPG warheads were flying across the woods. Actual combat proved that the RPG produced by the Blacksmith Village Arsenal had little advantage over German tanks, especially against the Panzer IV tank. It was impossible to penetrate the front. Of course, this was because of the limited technical conditions of the arsenal.
It can only produce explosive warheads, which can be used to bombard enemy infantry and enemy fortresses. It is really a sharp weapon.
A flying RPG warhead seemed to have eyes. Of course, it was also because of the Soviet shooter's desperate charge that he fired the warhead. It passed through more than 20 pine trees and just hit the German commander Nollenberg.
of the regiment.
The price of recklessness is tragic, and the bombardment that was too lucky corresponds to the shooter's misfortune. The German soldiers who had begun to retreat suddenly found that their regiment headquarters was bombed, and they moved closer to the regiment headquarters. The merciless machine gun bullets focused on the shooter.
Hundreds of rounds of eight-millimeter heavy machine gun bullets stunned the shooter into pieces.
The German army increased its firepower in this direction, immediately causing massive casualties to the charging Soviet troops.
More than fifty Soviet soldiers were hit one after another. Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they all lost their ability to fight.
But how could the charge stop? The Soviet troops charging in this direction were suppressed for half a minute, and then they all got up again, shouting "Ula" and continued to charge forward.
