As Yang Mingzhi predicted, the German army's wounded troop transport convoy really existed.√
In the Battle of Moscow, the German army was at the end of its strength. Their offensive advantage no longer existed. It seemed that the German army was about to lose the entire battle. Coupled with strategic mistakes, at least 100,000 German soldiers died of frostbite due to the severe cold. In addition,
More than 300,000 people were injured in the battle and were unable to fight, and a large number of wounded soldiers had to be transported to the rear.
The field hospitals on the front line have also begun to evacuate. Perhaps the soldiers on the front line still have the confidence to continue fighting, but the German doctors and nurses in the rear have already realized that the situation is critical. Because they are facing the largest group of wounded in the history of the German army, just like the front line
The troops are suffering the most violent rout.
A large number of injured people were transferred, and part of them had to pass through the road from Mozyr to Gomel.
The scouts temporarily established an observation post further east of the ambush. They did not wait long before using binoculars to see a convoy in the distance.
After receiving the intelligence from them, Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered his subordinates, "Everyone be ready for battle and eliminate all armed personnel."
The troops are actually equipped with a lot of rockets. If it is a normal ambush and large-scale rockets are used to cause fire coverage, the enemy combat infantry will suffer heavy losses. But the situation is special and Yang Mingzhi cannot do this. Just like saving Soviet prisoners, he must try his best
Avoid accidental damage. The same goes for attacking a German wounded troop transport convoy. If it explodes, precious medicines and health supplies will be gone.
Because the order given by Yang Mingzhi to the soldiers was only to eliminate armed personnel. Non-combatants such as doctors and nurses may also have value.
The dozen soldiers closest to the ambush on the road were holding hemp ropes tightly in their hands, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.
Yang Mingzhi remained vigilant. He glanced sideways at his two girls, Natasha and his wife. Both of them were also ready for battle. They set up the sVT4o's bipod, and their guns and lying bodies appeared.
At a certain angle, the two people's legs were spread apart, and everything looked like the standard sniper posture set by later generations.
Everyone's wait did not last long, and the noise from the vehicles reached the ears of the soldiers one after another.
"They will be here soon. Once the explosion occurs, you immediately shoot the enemy's tires." Yang Mingzhi emphasized again.
The German convoy transporting the wounded consisted of thirty trucks. After all, they had four wheels, and the wheels were covered with a layer of iron ropes as anti-skid chains, so they moved very quickly. When the battle to rescue the prisoners of war broke out, what followed?
The convoy did not know this because they were still far away in Gomel at the time!
The convoy's destination was Lechica, where the wounded were to rest.
The entire convoy transported more than 500 wounded people, escorted by two companies of soldiers, and more than 60 doctors and nurses as non-combatants.
Such transport convoys came and go very frequently during this period. The drivers knew that this road was not peaceful. They had also heard about several major battles caused by the guerrillas. This was actually the 284th Division, but the rumors they received about the attack
"Swamp Guerrilla Brigade" from the swamp.
At first, the drivers were very worried. Later, as they traveled for a long time without encountering danger, they became careless, but this time the danger really came.
The team was a truck transporting soldiers, with a general-purpose machine gun on the roof. Yang Mingzhi saw the truck from a distance. They were walking west along the road and would soon reach the ambush site. Then they saw a
A messy battlefield.
For the truck driver, he had seen some black smoke coming out of the front of the road, but he didn't pay much attention. Until he continued to move forward and entered the road between two woods, something was billowing black smoke right in front of him.
.
At this moment, the ambushing Soviet soldiers yanked the hemp rope one after another, and the cluster grenade was detonated.
The violent explosion shook several trucks, killing and injuring many German soldiers and knocking many others unconscious.
"The battle has finally begun! Girls! Fight me!"
Without Yang Mingzhi's direct order, Yang Tao and Natasha took action. Their target was the wheels of all the trucks they could see. Shooting the stopped trucks was like target practice. The two remained calm and named the wheels and auxiliary fuel tanks of the trucks one by one.
.
Star Tao struck frequently, and the pneumatic tires were damaged one after another, and all the trucks that were hit were tilted. The tires were scrapped, and then she focused on attacking the fuel tank. Gasoline with pink paint spewed out and flowed on the snow, but they did not explode.
At the same time as this, the soldiers who fired grenades suddenly stepped forward, holding submachine guns and shooting wildly at the enemies who were lucky enough to survive. Encountering a dense barrage at such a close distance, the German soldiers in the first two trucks were hit one after another.
, they barely fought back before falling prey to the Soviet soldiers.
The soldiers attacked the tail vehicle of the convoy first. Such scrapped trucks and large numbers of corpses became natural roadblocks, and the remaining 20 or so vehicles were already unable to escape.
The enemy's surviving armed personnel immediately relied on trucks to counterattack. They reacted quite quickly and immediately organized a counterattack after confirming that they were being ambushed. However, they were in a state of being attacked from both sides. Facing the Soviet firepower, the German soldiers of the two companies were helpless.
There are advantages to speak of.
Since this was a battle, it was inevitable that bullets would not have eyes. Countless flying bullets still penetrated the canvas skin of the truck. The wounded and nurses in the truck were also attacked, and many were directly hit by bullets.
All the nurses and doctors can do is to lie down as much as possible to avoid sudden death.
But the death that should come is still coming. During the battle, the sparks from the bullets and the burning traces of the magnesium oxide contained in the polishing bullets hit the gasoline on the snow, and a fire suddenly broke out. The canvas is very easy to
Burning, several trucks soon gradually turned into "torches".
"It's not bad. After I hit the gas tank, the gasoline burned and these Nazis were going to be scorched." Natasha said.
Yang Mingzhi put down the telescope and looked sideways at her. But at this moment, the girl's eyes were wide open and she had a ferocious smile on her face. She seemed to be a witch. Suddenly, a kind of worry came to his mind.
Yang Mingzhi shook his head and continued to observe. He saw people jumping out of the burning vehicles one after another, and everyone's body was burning. Looking carefully, he saw there was a woman there, wearing a white coat and covered in fire, rolling on the ground with her teeth and claws open.
.
There was another man who seemed to have a bandage on his left arm. From the looks of it, he was an officer. He was also covered in fire. After struggling on the ground for a while, he suddenly fell to his knees, took out a pistol from his waist, and pointed it at
It was a shot in my head.
Yang Mingzhi's eyes were wide open. It was really painful to be burned alive. Instead of dying like this, it would be better to give himself a shot. Yang Mingzhi could understand the man's feelings. He looked at the two girls again. Although they had gone through a lot
It was a brutal war, but it seemed that we were still shocked by the tragedy.
There were more burning people jumping out of the car, and Yang Mingzhi ordered loudly: "Natasha! Besica! Shoot those burning people, show them mercy, and let them die happily!"
"Okay... okay!" Star Tao's cheek pressed against the butt of the gun again, aiming at the burning man.
Continuous crisp gunshots were heard, and there was a pile of burning human corpses on the snow.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire was still going on, and fewer and fewer enemies were still resisting. Those guys were shooting blindly in all directions, but they did not gain any results. Instead, they became the target of the Soviet precision shooters.
The troops did not lose many bullets. Against this weakly armed German convoy, most of the dead died from Mosin-Nagant's precise shooting.
The gunshots coming from the truth gradually stopped. For this reason, the Soviet soldiers stopped shooting.
Yang Mingzhi held down his wife's rifle and said, "You and Natasha stop shooting now, put on new magazines, hold your breath and observe." After that, the radio operator was called over, and Yang Mingzhi held the walkie-talkie to the two of them.
The battalion commander ordered: "You should cease fire immediately for ten minutes. The troops should not act rashly for the time being and see how the enemy reacts. (To be continued.) 8
