Sean met a friendly scout. Faced with the scout's astonishment, he said straight to the point: "Hurry! Escort me safely to see your regiment leader. One more step at night and it will be over!"
Sean led the remnants of his abandoned troops and finally joined forces with the main force of the Krieg Regiment.
The officers and soldiers of the entire Krieg regiment were shocked. Everyone knew that the friendly forces fought fiercely, but they never expected that only 900 people of a reorganized infantry regiment were withdrawn. Such a huge loss simply means that
The collapse of combat power.
So when Krieger saw Sean, he couldn't believe his eyes, and when he talked about his experience on the battlefield, Krieger's eyes began to reveal fear.
Sean suggested: "I think we should choose to retreat. The Soviet army has too many troops. If we continue to stay here, we will have to fight them at night."
"No! No! Once we fight at night, our entire army will be wiped out. It seems that we really need to retreat and think long term."
Krieger was very fortunate that he had already ordered the police group to move to the agreed location. The police group must have built a good defense line, and the troops would be able to sit back and relax when they retreated there.
Then, the signal corps sent bad news. No matter how they contacted the police group, they received no response, as if they had adopted radio silence.
"Hell!" Krieger stamped his foot hard. He had no more time to complain, because the Soviet army had already begun the main firefight with Krieger.
Under the setting sun, the light was dim, making the reeds a little blurry. A large number of Soviet soldiers had reeds stuck all over their bodies. They never thought that the disguise would have unexpected results.
The officers and soldiers of the Krieger Regiment couldn't help but be shaken after seeing the tragic defeat of the friendly forces of the Sean Regiment. It is said that grass and trees are all soldiers. When they heard the deafening sound of Ura, they also saw the reeds shaking violently, as if the reeds had become moving.
monster until the explosion of a sudden flying grenade woke up the German defenders.
When the Soviet troops all rushed to a distance of fifty meters, the battle really began.
The grenades in the hands of both male and female soldiers of the Soviet Army can be said to be powerful in medium and close combat. Moreover, because the grenades are not light, the soldiers also intend to use them early to reduce the load.
The small flying shrapnel caused great losses to the German troops on the front line. The Soviet soldiers who were covered in reeds rushed up and were completely stunned.
Krieger had to accept the fact that his troops collapsed at the first touch!
There was an atmosphere of panic in the German army. The first-line soldiers were seen retreating, followed by the officers and soldiers on the second and third lines. The retreat of the soldiers was beyond the control of the officers, and many junior officers even took the lead in retreating.
After all, Krieger was from the 734th Division. It was precisely because he had suffered losses from the Guerrilla Republic that his men knew that avoiding its edge was the best strategy. However, the unauthorized retreat immediately developed into a rout, and panic had spread to all companies.
Among them, even several of Grieg's staff officers were asking the regiment commander to retreat.
"What the hell! I had to withdraw before we had a good exchange of fire. There was really no way. If I didn't withdraw, the whole army would probably be annihilated. If everyone is dead, what's the point of my life?"
After some ideological struggle, Krieger convinced himself. He formally issued a retreat order. Except for one battalion and all half-track armored vehicles, the rest of the troops retreated towards the police regiment's position.
The German army's retreat began, and the Soviet army anticipated this immediately.
The development of the battle situation completely exceeded Yang Mingzhi's expectations. However, the development of the battle situation immediately exceeded his expectations.
The counterattacking Soviet army finally encountered a real nail in the coffin - half-track armored vehicles forming a long snake formation.
Twenty armored vehicles lined up, and twenty MG34s stood high and fired a terrifying barrage at the charging Soviet troops. The armored vehicles had very rich ammunition reserves, and the soldiers fired desperately to buy time for the main force to retreat.
Although this fearless spirit of sacrifice is admirable, if they are too exposed, they will bring disaster upon themselves.
In the moment of the exchange of fire, more than a hundred Soviet troops fell to the ground. The remaining soldiers did not dare to act rashly and lay on the ground one after another. The German machine gunners continued to shoot at the reeds wildly. They saw that the reeds became denser, and some of them were simply
Not the reeds, but hidden Soviet soldiers.
They could no longer distinguish between reality and reality, so they simply fired wildly at all the grass, there was always a chance of hitting them.
During this chaotic fighting, a large number of female soldiers were hit by stray bullets and died. No one dared to raise their heads rashly, and the soldiers continued to shoot at distant targets. Unfortunately, the imprecise bullets could not threaten the German machine gunners at all.
This is because the roofs of these half-track armored vehicles are equipped with machine gun shields. The thickness of the 20 mm Okamoto can completely withstand 8 mm rifle bullets.
Yang Mingzhi, who was lying in the reeds, suddenly came to his senses. He pulled Diana over and ordered loudly: "It's really bad! Get Joshua and ask her to organize anti-tank gunners and aim for me!"
Originally, the Soviet army had more than a hundred anti-tank guns in its ammunition inventory. Some of them were brought into the swamps at the beginning, and a small part were air-dropped later. The main anti-tank weapons were catfish rockets, plus the four German
The frontal armor of the No. 1 tank was forcibly thickened to 90 millimeters, and the anti-tank gun had almost no room for use.
With the attitude that something is better than nothing, Yang Mingzhi delivered the weapons in stock to the troops. He never thought that they would be put to use now.
There were more than 30 anti-tank guns in the two female barracks. Regardless of whether the gun owners were women, they endured the strong recoil and fired at the enemy armored vehicles. However, the light was very dim, and Yang Mingzhi was not sure whether they hit the target.
.But he saw the sparks from the armor-piercing rifle, and he thought he had hit it.
The anti-tank gunner didn't aim well at all, but the armored vehicle was also very big. The armor-piercing bullet ruthlessly penetrated the front of the armored vehicle. According to the structure of the German half-track armored vehicle, the front of the vehicle is where the engine is.
There were thirty guns, and there were plenty of bullets. After a brief exchange of fire, three of the twenty armored vehicles had thick smoke coming out of their fronts. This was proof that their engines were damaged. The vehicles that were hit lost their ability to move.
The group simply chose to abandon the car.
It stands to reason that even if it can't be started, the right way is for the machine gunner on the roof to continue shooting. After a while, the front of a truck that was hit by a bullet burst into flames. When other armored vehicles saw this scene, it was beyond words to describe the horror.
"Haha! Well done!" Yang Mingzhi leaned forward and smiled happily, "Diana."
"Commander...Commander? New order?"
"Send a message to the cavalry battalion and ask them not to be impulsive. Send a message to Joshua and Sashanova and order the recoilless rifle team they have just arrived not to set up a gun emplacement. The soldiers are half-kneeling with the barrel of the gun and bombard them directly.
enemy."
As the heavy weapons of the Soviet army arrived here one after another, namely recoilless guns and RPG groups, and even the four heavy Deshka heavy machine guns. The troops' ammunition consumption was very high, and it was more than enough to defeat the armored vehicles in front of them.
The artillery shells roared and hit the German armored vehicles. Even though the operating team was all female soldiers, their artillery skills were taught by professional artilleryman Doronin. Therefore, the hit rate of the artillery shells was quite high.
It is indeed Yang Mingzhi's regret that there is no armor-piercing bullet, so the arsenal has been making a fuss about improving the explosive capacity of artillery shells. With just one hit of the artillery shell, it can blow up the cab of the armored vehicle, destroying the machine gun tower on the roof, and the shooter is killed on the spot.
.
The safe crews saw their comrades dying under the Soviet shelling, and they continued to resist with grief and anger until they received the order to retreat.
At the same time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the sun had almost completely set below the horizon. Even if the weather was very good today, the sunset could last for more than ten minutes.
Yang Mingzhi did not let his troops fight at night. If he wanted to fight, let the uprising 21st Guerrilla Brigade do it.
Looking at the twelve German armored vehicles and hundreds of German soldiers fleeing the battlefield, Yang Mingzhi gave a clear order to stop the pursuit.
At this moment, under the last ray of light, the entire battlefield was filled with sparks of fire, and there were also a large number of enemy and friendly corpses lying on the ground, as well as a large number of wailing wounded.
It seems that the German army suffered heavy losses, and they lost any possibility of continuing to invade the guerrilla republic.
As for the guerrilla republic's cobbled-together army of mostly 7,000 people, they must have suffered huge losses after experiencing this battle, and even lost the opportunity to expand their results the next day.
It's time to organize defense and clean up the battlefield!
