There were still three soldiers who were still alive due to serious injuries. These three warriors became the last ones to stand behind.
After the artillery and the second platoon withdrew, the three men continued to fight until they had the last bullets for themselves. Because of their sacrifice, they were able to contain the German troops entering the forest for ten minutes, which was enough for Balzen's troops.
Retreating.
More than 400 German troops entered the forest, followed by tanks and assault guns.
These heavy armored vehicles are enough to crush trees, but this will greatly reduce their propulsion speed. Therefore, with these vehicle commanders combined, a frontal pursuit is impossible, and a roundabout attack is more suitable.
The German army had just suffered a violent bombardment, and their counterattack was equally fierce. Now the German army had three infantry battalions participating in the siege. In order to prevent the Soviet army from slipping away in troubled waters, they organized a long line of troops, like a big net, to
Eat the enemies in the encirclement.
Balzen ordered the troops to move northeast. They did not know that they would encounter German troops on the front.
Due to the consumption of some ammunition, the load of the troops was reduced. Half of the sleds were abandoned, many tents were abandoned, and the soldiers carried precious blankets behind their backs.
Because it was a battle, everyone had to forget about their physical fatigue. We originally planned to rest this afternoon, but when the war came, everyone could only continue to sneak in the forest until night fell.
However, the pursuing Germans still had two hounds!
They found dead Soviet soldiers. The most striking feature was that the legs of all the corpses were tied tightly with linen. The Germans were very surprised. They had seen such Soviet soldiers before. They were "swamp guerrillas."
!
At the 715th Division headquarters in the distance, Schultz, Swager, and a large number of staff were waiting for news from the front line. Now, when the intelligence came back, Schulz was greatly surprised.
"They are indeed enemies in the swamp! It's terrible, we actually destroyed five tanks! Their combat effectiveness is so strong, and three battalions are chasing them. Is their combat effectiveness too weak?"
Swager shook his head and responded to the division commander: "This intelligence shows that the enemy's strength is not large. Even if they have powerful weapons, we are not bad. It is said that they used rocket-propelled grenades, which we also have. They used
This one blew up our tanks, which is understandable. Ours can also blow them up." Swagger said, leaning on the table with his hands: "Gentlemen, now we have to see whose rocket is more powerful.
incredible."
Yes, these three German infantry battalions are similar to Balzen's troops in this regard. Each infantry company has RPG soldiers. This latest weapon has been put into the war, and the intensity of the war has become stronger!
Directly in front of Balzen, more than 600 troops formed a wide skirmish line that was one kilometer long. Their purpose of doing this was like a "big net of a trawler". In order to increase the probability of contact,
As long as there is a little exchange of fire, the large troops can move closer.
Sverling, the commander of this German battalion, was originally the logistics force of the 715th Division. His combat effectiveness was originally low, but after experiencing a defeat in December, his men urgently underwent rigorous training and became the new
Soldiers capable of fighting. In addition to the placement of veterans among the soldiers, the weapons and equipment have also become more sophisticated. The submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns equipped by this unit have doubled, reaching the level of the main force. What's more gratifying, the most advanced RPGs are also equipped.
A company has three RPG groups, each group carries ten projectiles and a spare shooting device. When necessary, they can instantly become six groups, and the power of the salvo can be imagined.
But Balzen, Yang Mingzhi and others knew nothing about this and were unprepared.
The further forward Balzen's troops moved, the greater the danger. What he thought was a safe direction was actually hitting a wall.
Suddenly, gunfire erupted in the woods! The leading soldiers sent by Balzen came face to face with the German army. The distance between the two groups was very close, and a fierce gun battle broke out at a distance of only fifty meters.
Balzen immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle. He had no time to think too much and personally picked up the submachine gun and moved forward.
Although there were only more than a hundred troops, everyone still moved forward according to the traditional three-by-three formation. Three people were in a combat group, and a squad was divided into three groups. The troops immediately established an equilateral triangle combat formation and moved forward.
As for the German troops, they heard the gunshots and immediately gathered here.
Balzen yelled: "RPG player! Shoot a wave straight ahead!"
However, the Germans got the upper hand. Their rocket-propelled grenades struck first. One hit the tree and blew it up instantly. The other fell to the ground and blew up a combat team.
Balzen was so frightened that he couldn't think too much. A few seconds later, his own RPG also fired. The German army in front suffered a heavy blow. After all, the 70mm caliber guy had too much built-in explosives. The explosion caused
An absolute damage zone with a radius of twenty meters was reached, shrapnel flew across the field, and three grenades cleared the frontal area of fifty meters. The German troops within were either killed or injured, and their combat capabilities were no longer available.
There were still white trails of rockets floating in the air, and the position of these Soviet troops was also exposed. Twenty seconds later, the German RPGs shot towards the place where the smoke was floating. Fortunately, they were able to dodge quickly, and the Soviet RPG hands were fine.
, unfortunately two soldiers were injured in this bombardment.
At the same time, recoilless rifles and mortars quickly set up positions, and one minute after the two armies responded to each other's reinforcements, they entered the battle.
In the battle, Natasha remained calm and steady. She was like the white god of death, every bullet could hit an enemy.
The girl was very smart. She could feel that the troops encountered very strong firepower at this time. In this case, it would be better to injure the enemy. The bullet hit the German shooter's arm accurately, and one bullet was enough to kill the German shooter.
Broken bones.
So on the other side of the German army, during the fierce battle, they became more and more aware that they were being held back by mysterious forces. There was a very terrible enemy who did not kill people, but only hit people on the arms. Many people were already lying down on the battlefield.
More than a dozen of their comrades-in-arms were wailing. The arteries in their broken arms were spurting blood, and the blood dyed the snow red.
These poor people were their comrades-in-arms. The regulations of the German Wehrmacht required soldiers to rescue the wounded. Therefore, many soldiers risked their lives to try to pull the wounded away, only to be shot in the hail of bullets.
These were not necessarily shot by Natasha herself. Some of them were shot in the legs and some in the buttocks. The number of wounded German soldiers was increasing.
There was a smile on Balzen's lips, and he patted the girl next to him on the back excitedly. "You girl is really smart. The more wounded they have, the more people they have to treat! The firepower in front of us will slowly change.
Bo. My dear, keep up the good work."
But just after these words of encouragement passed, the German RPG became more powerful again.
They seized these weapons from the Soviet Union and immediately began to imitate them. Because of the use of more advanced propellant, the rockets only had blue translucent black smoke when firing and flying. However, because the Soviet army used black powder, the white smoke was too obvious.
The German battalion commander Sverin immediately ordered all his men to concentrate in the direction of the battalion headquarters and drive the Soviets they encountered toward the highway. Therefore, Balzen felt that the firepower on his right wing was getting stronger and stronger.
"They are actually equipped with the same weapons as us! All troops are transferred. Natasha, try to find their RPG shooters and kill them!"
There was some trouble in completing the commander's order. Natasha and everyone else had begun to move north to continue fighting. The mortars were covering the retreat, and the recoilless rifles had all been dismantled and moved.
Natasha stopped from time to time and turned around to fight back. Her eyesight was very good and she looked for this special enemy in the gaps between the tree trunks.
Because when the German RPG shooters shoot, they also carry the shooting tool on their shoulders, and their targets are very large.
The German army was still bombarding. Battalion Commander Sverin ordered that all the rocket-propelled grenades equipped by the entire battalion be fired. All he had to do was drive the Soviet army to the road, because there, friendly tanks and assault guns could catch up quickly.
!
Finally, the agile girl found a damn RPG player. She immediately relied on a big tree, knelt down and held the gun steadily. She gently pulled the trigger, and the enemy who was about to shoot was hit.
The RPG still shot, it just flew into the blue sky.
In terms of running speed in the forest, the German army could not keep up with Balzen. Even if they carried a lot of baggage, they still could not catch him.
In order to get out of the battle quickly, Balzen ordered all sleds to be abandoned. Without these burdens, the soldiers could move faster.
But Balzen still doesn’t know that this is a trap! The battle is fierce, and he can no longer care about so much. The whole army has only one goal - to cross the road. (To be continued.) 8
