If Yang Mingzhi personally commanded this battle, he would probably have played a trick of encircling three enemies. That is, attacking in three directions and deliberately leaving the retreat road to the north, he would actually send a surprise force to the German retreat road.
ambush.
Therefore, Balzen's offensive strategy actually left an opportunity for Holstaufen to escape. But luckily, when the Germans were retreating, another Soviet army suddenly appeared.
Balzen had no idea that there were friendly troops who had survived the disaster hidden in the ruins.
Under the moonlight, there were still a lot of burning flames on the battlefield, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and the weird smell of barbecue.
The battle was all over, and the last Germans were trapped and fighting, and they all died in the end. At this point, Alexander and his eleven uninjured men all walked out of the ruins, standing in front of Balzen under the moonlight.
"You! Are you soldiers of the 284th Guards Division?" Alexander asked, scratching his throat.
"Yes! Comrade! Sorry, we were ordered to reinforce you. We are late!"
After receiving such an answer, the excited Alexander burst into tears. He almost lost control of his emotions. He immediately put down his steaming submachine gun and limped in the direction of the person who just spoke.
The clothes on his body were in tatters, the scratches on his face had begun to scab, and he was covered in dirt. He completely lost the heroic spirit that a soldier should have.
Balzen looked carefully at the man's face, and he seemed familiar. So he immediately asked: "Comrade, are you a soldier of the regular army or a militiaman?"
"It's the regular army. We were ordered to set up an observation post at Homnage, but the Germans suddenly came over."
In front of Balzen were a dozen people in rags. Under the dim moonlight, he couldn't tell whether they were wearing military uniforms or civilian clothes. Then he asked the most critical question: "Then, in the entire city, you are
The last survivors? The enemy invaded the city and everyone died. What happened to you?"
After asking the question, Alexander did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Sir, haven't you noticed that this city is completely different?"
"I noticed that the city has been almost razed to the ground. This is normal, war is always like this."
Alexander shook his head, "It's not just that, because we encountered the most terrifying artillery bombardment. No! That's not artillery fire! Cannonballs can't make such a deep crater!"
When Balzen entered the city, he was completely focused on destroying the enemy and did not notice the many huge craters in the city. In fact, some soldiers slipped and fell down, leaving them disgraced.
Alexander was horrified and told what he had encountered - an air raid.
The German blitzkrieg always starts with dive bombers. The Stuka series is their elite weapon. This special bomber can carry up to 1,800 kilograms of bombs. Its bombing accuracy is far superior to that of the Henschel bomber.
Above. If we talk about shortcomings, they are undoubtedly slow sailing and short legs.
Balzen knew the German dive bombers very well. When they launched an attack, they were always accompanied by a loud sound, as if tearing the sky apart. Soldiers who knew the horror would always cover their heads and lie down in the trench, praying that they would be enough.
Lucky.
Now Alexander claimed, "Originally, we put the enemy into the city, carried out a surprise attack, and successfully defeated them. But we suffered such an unbearable blow. Except for a dozen of us, all others died in the battle."
He looked helpless, and Balzen patted him on the shoulder. "I know all this. The enemy used cruel aerial bombs, so the city was almost blown to the ground. You and your people should take a rest quickly.
Grab a handful of snow and wipe your face clean."
The thrilling battle had just ended, and the troops on the left and right were moving towards Balzen's position. During the battle, they suffered some casualties, but the battle ended with a comprehensive victory.
The joy of victory appeared on the faces of these people. Through this battle, Anatole knew that the shame of himself and his brothers had been completely washed away. However, the price was a little higher, with more than a hundred people killed.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Balzen immediately ordered: "Everyone, clean the battlefield immediately and take away all the enemy's available firearms and ammunition. Search every corpse on the battlefield, reload the enemy's wounded soldiers, and our wounded soldiers will be
And take it back to the woods.”
Anatole was expecting some kind of praise, but it turned out that there was none. Since the order was to clean up the battlefield, he should obey the order.
He still asked garrulously: "Sir, after we have collected the ammunition, do we still want to stay here?"
"No! We have to leave this damn city ruins. This place is very dangerous! We have to go back to the woods to rest before dawn."
Since the German army dispatched the Stuka, it can only mean that along the long road from Mozyr to Gomel, the German army not only strengthened its defense forces, but also established a front-line airport. Things have become complicated, and now Hom
Nitsch was captured again, and the German army wiped out every living person, so the enemy's counterattack would definitely follow.
To be honest, Balzen admires this group of German troops. Putting aside their combat effectiveness, they will fight to the last man. A troop that can do this must be said to be an excellent troop. "If they weren't too embarrassed,
I didn't attack them secretly, the battle wouldn't go so smoothly." Balzen thought to himself, and walked in front of the suicidal officer.
Holstaufen chose to commit suicide. At a young age, he ended his life for the honor of the Third Reich's military commander and to avoid becoming a prisoner of the Soviets.
In the cold weather, his warm body immediately became stiff. In this bad climate, a large number of wounded soldiers could not survive, and the dead would soon turn into gray lumps of ice.
Balzen untied the officer's armed belt, struggled to open his stiff hands and took away his pistol. He fumbled in the man's pocket again and took away the Iron Cross Second Class he had pinned up.
In his pocket, a small notebook was pulled out, and he flipped through it under the light of the battlefield flames, and another photo fell out.
Balzen picked up this. It was clearly a group photo of a family of three. The handsome man in the middle, wearing a German officer's uniform, was probably the dead man. His handsome face was beyond recognition. His parents could no longer wait.
My son has returned.
"Alas! In this damn war, so many mothers have lost their sons and so many wives have lost their husbands. We didn't provoke you, so why did we come to our country to kill people? Now I have to pay the price for my sins." Balzen said something to the officer's corpse.
Well, compared to other soldiers, he is pretty good.
Because of their hatred for the German invaders, when searching for corpses, the militiamen, who had a blood feud with the enemy, did not hesitate to insult the corpses. They also brutally tortured the wounded German soldiers. These behaviors were purely out of venting their anger and also caused great harm to the wounded German soldiers.
His savage bestiality is vividly displayed.
After all, Yang Mingzhi received the education of the next century. In that era, humanistic ideas flooded the world, and wars were subject to intervention. Once a humanitarian disaster occurred, the UN would definitely intervene.
The Soviet Union of this era, the war of this era, is the darkest moment in the history of human civilization for thousands of years. The war has spread all over the world, and people are like grass. To make matters worse, the Soviet Union does not recognize the "Geneva Convention" at all, making the last point possible.
The constraints that were taken out did not exist.
All enemy wounded soldiers were killed, and a large amount of captured items were placed in front of Balzen.
There are more than 300 Mauser rifles that have not turned into fire sticks, more than 40 submachine guns, 20 general-purpose machine guns, and four 80 mm caliber mortars. With such weapons, there is a lot of ammunition. Some ammunition is more
They were still installed in the wooden wall and there were a large number of them. It was obvious that this German infantry battalion was prepared to fight for a long time.
Just as the troops were cleaning the battlefield, Doronin's artillery outside the city also began to move into the city.
The battle turned into a street battle in the city, and Doronin's troops waited for orders for fire support. As a result, until the gunfire basically ended, he and his men were waiting quietly outside the city.
Natasha had a passion for fighting. She watched the battles in the city, killing the enemy and reaping the rewards, but she stupidly waited with her artillery comrades.
"It's really unlucky. I promised the commander that I would bring him back a bunch of dog tags from this battle." The girl pouted, feeling unwilling to do so.
Didn't Doronin continue to expand the results? His troops still carried a lot of ammunition. Each recoilless gun fired three times. This was the first actual combat? The plane was too shabby.
"Kid, continue to be patient. We are not front-line combat infantry. You are a sniper, and we are artillery. Our duty dictates, and this is what we should do."
After saying that, Balzen pointed to the city, where a lot of green things spewed out. "Look, those are the enemy's flares. They are green, don't they look good? Fortunately! Some of our soldiers are attacking the enemy bravely.
The machine gun position must have paid the price of many deaths. They were all young people who died like this."
Hearing what he said, Natasha thought of some of the previous battles. Especially the attack on the town of Kuta, which was really a fierce battle! She and Besica were so lucky. The bomb kicked up a lot of soil and acted as a perfect buffer.
and obstacles to block shrapnel. Although he and his companions were lifted up by the air wave, they were not injured at all. But they were so frightened that they wet their pants involuntarily.
Come to think of it, I don't want to go through that again, so it's better to just stay outside the city.
The fighting slowly subsided, and suddenly a plain language communication came from Doronin's radio station, ordering all personnel to enter the city.
Doronin stood up, shook the dust off his body, and shook his neck. "Natasha, let's go. Bring your weapons. It's time for us to enter the city." (To be continued.) 8
