Who could have imagined that the paratrooper brigade would have such a trump card? Miroshniko could not have imagined it, let alone the female corps.
The rocket launchers, which were dragging white smoke and flying almost close to the ground, flew almost close to the scalps of Soviet soldiers and hit the retreating German camp.
The Catfish rocket launcher is equivalent to the power of two 155mm howitzers. It mainly relies on shock waves to kill people. Because it is an open area, the shock wave like a knife has the highest killing efficiency.
The Soviet army fired eighteen rounds of ammunition in succession. Under the thick smoke and dust, the German army suffered devastating damage.
Coincidentally, Molihov, the deputy commander of the 634th Division, was directly blown to pieces by a rocket bomb, and together with the seven soldiers around him, everything was finished.
The shock wave blew people with a radius of 20 meters into pieces, and people with a radius of 50 meters were also shocked to death and knocked unconscious. The shrapnel also killed some enemies and even entered the attacking team of female soldiers, causing some accidental injuries.
Friendly fire occurred, and Tepunov believed that this would definitely happen. However, in order to annihilate this large German force, even if there was friendly fire, he still ordered to open fire.
The powerful shock wave set off air waves, and the instantaneous wind force reached Level 7. Most of the female soldiers cleverly lay on the ground, but some were still blown heavily and fell to the ground.
The rising smoke turned into a warm orange color by the afterglow of the setting sun, and then a large amount of soil and indescribable debris fell from the sky, suddenly splashing within a two-kilometer radius of the explosion point.
A deflated steel helmet suddenly fell next to Joshua, who was lying on his stomach. He quickly pulled it over, trembling all over. Because the helmet was broken in half, it could be seen that its owner had been shattered into pieces.
After most of the German troops were destroyed in this critical attack, Joshua decided to stop for a while.
Firstly, the soldiers need time to calm down and calm down. Secondly, the rising smoke and dust will not settle, making it difficult to launch an attack.
All the attacking Soviet troops, both men and women, lay prone and witnessed the rocket bombardment. The soldiers at the grassroots level followed the orders of the officers. When the smoke almost dissipated, the all-out attack began again.
"Girls! This is our rocket launcher. The enemy must have been killed. Don't be afraid. Follow me and keep charging! Destroy all the fascists!" Joshua shouted and took the lead in the charge again. The soldiers saw how brave the regiment leader was.
, followed instinctively and continued to attack.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the summer night in Belarus was about to come. The Soviet and German armies were fighting in the dim light. The Soviet army, with a total strength of 7,000, launched an encirclement and annihilation of more than 2,000 German troops.
Under the rocket attack, the German army collapsed completely, and then thousands of Soviet troops rushed over shouting "Ula".
The Soviet soldiers were so excited that they had no intention of taking prisoners. The loaded rifles would stab the enemy at sight, even if it was already a corpse. Even the female soldiers were involved in this "massacre".
"The fighting here should be over!" Tepunov shook his head while holding the submachine gun.
Miroshniko had already connected with the paratrooper brigade. He followed Tepunov's words and sighed: "Yes, we won. The price of victory is really high."
"The cost is high? How many casualties did your unit suffer?"
"Alas, more than a thousand male soldiers were killed. Including the wounded, the loss of male soldiers was two thousand."
"There are so many!" Tepunov was shocked.
"Don't be so anxious and shocked. The situation of the female soldiers is also very bad. They also suffered more than a thousand casualties, and only 3,000 people actually participated in the final battle. So many people died, so they would invest crazily.
Let’s take revenge on the invaders. Alas! War turns kind people into butchers, and even women can be forced to become butchers.”
Tepunov glanced sideways at the commander of the 17th Guerrilla Brigade. He took out two cigarettes, lit them, and handed one over.
"I know that you have experience in organizing ten thousand people to fight. I also know that the 634th German Army we attacked is your biggest enemy."
"The past is too painful to look back on!" Miroshniko took a deep breath from his cigarette and said solemnly: "The German 634th Division, them and the Romanian 6th Division. They caused me to lose 7,000 people, many of whom were protected by us.
The civilians who came down, especially the 634th Division, according to me, every soldier is an executioner. So, it makes me happy to see the soldiers stabbing them to death crazily."
Tepunov said half-jokingly: "Oh? They were all knocked to the ground by the bombing. Are you determined not to forgive them?"
"forgive?"
"Yes. I think we don't have to execute them all. Maybe we can leave some alive for us to dig potatoes for."
"Forget it." Miroshniko shook his head, "I have no right to forgive them on behalf of the dead. These fascists have done many evil things, but when they kill civilians, they should think that one day they will be killed, or the Slavic women they despise.
Stabbed to death."
"Okay! Okay!" Tepunov continued to smoke, sitting and watching his soldiers join in this "feast" of slaughter. Although he did not like this horrific act, considering that the people had "been suffering for a long time"
, it is also a good thing to let them vent all their anger on the enemy.
Besides, there is really no reason for Tepunov to leave anything alive, he already has a big fish in his hands!
…
All the German troops who tried to break out were actually killed. All the Soviet officers were indulging in their subordinates. More than a thousand German soldiers lay dead on the grass, and hundreds more were completely shattered into pieces under the bombardment of rocket launchers.
The battle on the left bank was over, and the Soviet army immediately began to clean up the battlefield. Even if it was dark, they had to seize the time to dig a big hole.
It is already midsummer in Belarus, and the temperature can reach 30 degrees on a clear day. This means that soldiers can swim and bathe in the ubiquitous pools in the Pripet River swamp in their spare time. It also means that food can easily spoil under high temperatures.
And those dead bodies, whether our own or the enemy's, must be put to rest as soon as possible.
More than 5,000 people were cleaning the battlefield, and the Soviet commanders gathered together. Tepunov and Miroshniko jointly formed the command headquarters of the Soviet left bank. The casualties of the troops were very heavy. Many officers estimated that the group army command
The whole party knew about this situation and had to blow up the situation.
Even so, the results must be reported.
The soldiers lit a bonfire and the "Left Bank Command" was located here. A radio was placed on the ground and more than ten people sat on the grass.
Tepunov looked at everyone, especially Miroshniko, and said: "I think it is up to me to report the situation to the headquarters. Our paratrooper brigade was regarded as a surprise force by the commander himself, and we did fulfill our duty as a surprise force."
Besides, your troops suffered heavy casualties indeed. If you had told it personally, I would even worry that the commander would faint."
Miroshniko nodded: "Okay! Okay!"
"So I will tell the commander first that we won and successfully captured the commander of the German 634th Division..."
"What?!" Miroshniko actually stood up when he heard this, "You... tell me again, who did you catch?"
"Oops! I forgot about this." Tepunov slapped his forehead, "We were too busy fighting, and I actually forgot to inform you about this. Let me solemnly say that your enemy, the 634th Division
The division commander’s full name is William Hershel Hendrickson, and this man was captured alive by our troops.”
"That's great! Let me see this shameless bastard quickly. I will strangle him to death with my own hands!"
"Calm down!" Tepunov really believed that this guy would strangle Hendryson, an important prisoner of war, and he did have this reason. After some explanations, he rationally moved Miroshniko to sit down.
"Okay, so I believe the commander will be happy that we caught such a big fish. As for the high price we paid, the headquarters should also understand. After all, the 634th Division is different from the 707th Division and the 722nd Division. Their
The combat effectiveness is higher, I think no one knows this better than you."
"Yes! Yes! They are field troops, not full-time security forces."
"So we have to report quickly. We are busy fighting and haven't contacted the headquarters for several hours. They are still waiting for our good news. Signal Corps!"
"exist!"
"Send a report to the headquarters immediately and I will dictate it."
