A German company commander shouted sadly: "Brothers, we have no chance, withdraw!"
What the majority of German soldiers are most eager to hear at this time is the order to retreat. Everyone does not know where the headquarters is. Perhaps the senior officers have died in the battle. At this time, the word of the person with the highest rank is the order.
The company commander never expected that his yelling would trigger the complete defeat of the German army.
The majority of German soldiers believed that it was the senior officers who issued the retreat order. As for where to retreat, of course they instinctively moved in the direction where there were no Soviet troops - they chose the east.
Yang Mingzhi was not a prophet, he just believed that the German army would never break through head-on.
The reason why the German army ran to the east was entirely because the main force of the Soviet army came from the west, and the Soviet army obviously also had the intention of outflanking it from the north. As the frontline commander, Lavrenti made the troops use weapons that all units liked, It is not surprising that the German Army followed the "Pincer Offensive" as a Bible.
The main force of the Soviet army completely rushed to the German position. The blockers were able to knock down some Soviet soldiers and were soon killed themselves. Bayonet battles even broke out on the position. The Soviet troops were already prepared for it, and the German soldiers who tried to fight hand-to-hand often Stabbed to death with multiple guns.
All German wounded soldiers were replaced by the Soviet army. The Soviet army did not linger on the German positions they had just captured and continued to pursue the retreating areas.
The battle on the position ended in only half an hour. The German army lost another 400 people, and the last 1,400 people ran wildly towards the east.
The Soviet army suffered 300 casualties, but all the soldiers were red-eyed and pursued the retreating area.
Lavrenti happily watched the favorable development of the war situation. He ordered his correspondent: "Immediately send a report to the parachute brigade and inform Tepunov that a large number of broken German troops are rushing toward them."
When people are faced with a major threat, they can often burst out with strong vitality, such as showing strong running ability.
Unfortunately, the German army ran in the wrong direction.
Three kilometers away from the German position, Tepunov and the guerrilla brigade that arrived later, two independent regiments, formed a temporary direction with a width of four kilometers. Together with the arrival of female soldiers, a total of more than 6,000 people guarded this direction. Line of defense.
Tepunov himself was on the front line. He and his soldiers all had steel helmets with thatch stuck on their heads. He himself even had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and a submachine gun in his hand, waiting for the fleeing Germans to hit them.
Theoretically, after receiving Lavrenti's alarm, the German army will arrive about ten minutes after the alarm. Therefore, various firearms and bullets are loaded, RPG and recoilless artillery projectiles are ready to go, and the Soviet army in the east has enough time to prepare Prepare.
Their waiting time was short-lived, and the German army was defeated as expected.
At this moment, some troops did not obey Tepunov's combat orders at all and actually opened fire first!
"Damn it! Who fired first? Didn't you know that the best effect is to shoot closer? Correspondent, who fired first?"
"It's the 17th Guerrilla Brigade!"
"Is it Miroshniko? This guy has no military qualities at all!"
The battle has begun, and there is no point in complaining.
Even though the distance was a bit far, the shells fired successfully gave the Germans a head-on blow. They were already panicking and ran eastward because they believed there were no enemies in the east. Fortunately, many German soldiers believed that they had jumped into the Soviet pocket formation.
What should we do? Are we going to be completely annihilated by the Soviet army?
After all, these German troops are well-trained, especially among them there are some die-hard Nazis from the SS59 regiment who survived. Their military quality is the best among the current German army defeats.
The command system had failed. A surviving assault squad leader first called on all SS to break out to the north.
"Gentlemen, we can only run northward and run faster than the Russian pursuit troops. Only in this way can we retreat to a safe area and join forces with reinforcements on their way!"
The last 30 or so SS assault team members collectively turned north and set a benchmark. The chaotic Wehrmacht soldiers suddenly had a backbone, and escaping north became the only belief in everyone's hearts.
"Damn it, you really shouldn't have opened fire too early!" Seeing that the German army suddenly fled north, Tepunov complained that it was Miroshniko's reckless move that gave the German army an opportunity.
Considering that guy is also a brigade commander, he can only talk behind someone's back.
As the combat commander in the east, Tepunov keenly discovered that the Soviet army was almost undefended in the north. He urgently ordered all the troops under his command: "Guerrilla brigades, independent regiments, female corps, all combat forces, immediately launch a counterattack to stop the enemy.
Escape north!"
As a result, the German army first ran eastward, and then urgently headed north, with the Soviet army in pursuit from the beginning to the end. Most of the German army was still a little happy with the Soviet army. After paying a certain price, they successfully escaped the Soviet army's encirclement.
, Laf's pincer offensive was in vain.
After receiving reports from the front line, the German troops continued to escape.
Lavrenti, who was suddenly furious, simply yelled at Tepunov in plain language: "Are you paratroopers fools? How did you stop the enemy? The enemy has escaped now!"
Hearing this, Tepunov felt as if he had eaten a fly. He could say that the guerrilla brigade was exposed prematurely, but saying so was obviously shirking responsibility.
Tepunov had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit that it was his fault, and responded: "It's my fault. Now I have ordered the troops to fully pursue it!"
"There is really no other way. In this case, let's work together to chase north. The mission given to us by the commander is to completely annihilate these enemies. We must complete it even if we risk our lives."
"Of course! Dear Davarich, end the communication! I am going to charge with a submachine gun myself! Long live the motherland! Ula!"
Tepunov ended the communication. True to his words, he personally participated in the pursuit with a submachine gun in his arms.
That man, Lavrenti Jing, was a man. The way he took the lead reminded him immediately of the crazy "Commander of the Special Anti-Tank Battalion" who was the current Lieutenant General Commander.
Under Lavrenti's order, five thousand soldiers joined forces and headed north. At one time, the Soviet army had a total of 11,000 soldiers in pursuit, including 20 armored trucks and one fast tank. In terms of the strength of the pursuit troops, the Soviet Union
The number of German troops was ten times that of the fleeing German troops! If the German troops dared to stop, quick death awaited them.
For the Germans, the battle turned into a marathon in order to survive. Many people threw away all the burdens they could throw away, even firearms. They believed that reinforcements were not far to the north and were powerful.
The combat effectiveness of the reinforcements must be strong, and this long-cherished wish is also the only motivation that supports the German drama's escape.
However, the troops on the road to reinforcements turned out to be the "old friends" of the Soviet 63rd Army and the 284th Guards Division - Lawrence's infantry regiment of the German 707th Division.
