Chapter 354 The battalion commander was killed by a sniper
It is difficult for tanks to advance in mountainous and forested areas. Its duty should be to attack and fight on the plains! It is also because of its characteristics that in 1940, the British and French forces did not expect that German tanks would come out of the Ardennes Forest.
Similarly, the Japanese invaders did not expect Soviet tanks to cross the Greater Khingan Range.
The reason for this is precisely because of the severe ruggedness of the mountainous terrain and the dense forest vegetation.
With the shape of a tank, it is easy to break down a few trees, but when faced with one after another, its traveling speed will be as slow as a turtle, which will also cause great damage to its team members.
These tanks and armored vehicles entered the forest, completely beyond Balzen's expectations.
"These Germans are really crazy. Is the order they received a death order? To destroy us?" Balzen said to himself in surprise.
There were two battalions of pursuers behind them, and even though their organization was somewhat dispersed, their strength was greatly enhanced due to the support of tanks.
Natasha had never encountered anything like this before, and what happened this afternoon was too crazy. She still tried to stay calm, running and shooting backwards until the last bullet was gone.
"Company commander! I have no bullets!" the girl shouted.
Balzen was startled. He grabbed Natasha and jumped into a pit with the company staff. He asked loudly: "What did you just say? Are the bullets finished?"
"Yes! One hundred and twenty rounds!"
He believed that this girl must have shot many enemies, and there was nothing he could do about the high consumption of bullets. "Ammunition! Ammunition is needed here!" Balzen shouted loudly, and soon, the person in charge of the ammunition came.
The soldier was carrying a box of bullets. He opened the box and Natasha grabbed a few handfuls. The girl put the bullets into her pocket. She estimated that there were fifty rounds.
Because Balzen stopped, the entire company also stopped and immediately organized a defense line in the forest.
At this time, the two warring parties had opened a certain distance. Balzen saw his soldiers. Even though they could boast that they were made of steel, their bodies were severely exhausted from marching and fighting all day. This group of enemies had no intention of resting.
, I don’t have time to play games. How can I maintain my physical strength if I can’t eat something? If I continue to run wildly, everything will be over if my body collapses.
Taking this opportunity, Balzen shouted loudly: "Comrades! The enemy who is pursuing us is to eliminate us all. Consistent escape is not our style at all! What do you think, should we fight or continue to escape?!"
"Fight! Fight!" The soldiers were holding back their anger, and now they just wanted to take it out on the Germans.
If the commander is Yang Mingzhi, he will definitely lead this unit and try to avoid head-to-head confrontation with the enemy's heavy troops. However, this unit is commanded by Balzen. In line with their national habits, this old man wants to use this mere
One hundred people, fighting to the death with the enemy's seven or eight hundred people!
All his confidence came from his daily fighting. Judging from the results of a few hours of fighting in this kind of forest, it was obvious that the German army had suffered heavy losses.
If a unit has a strong fighting spirit, it can even fight to the last man. Balzen is betting. He knows that the unit in front of him can only be the German 715th Division. These defeated generals seem to have taken some emboldening medicine today.
They are fighting to the death with themselves. Once the casualties are too large and night falls, they will have to withdraw. In this way, the troops will be safe.
For the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, each combat group was separated by ten meters, and recoilless gun and mortar positions were established. The last three RPGs were originally used to bomb German aircraft from long distances, and now they are also used in the upcoming blockade.
war.
On the other hand, the German tanks were struggling to advance in the forest. The crews were complaining!
"We are not lumberjacks. If we continue to crash like this, we will only receive a pile of wood!" A commander was lying on the turret, holding up a telescope. In the snow-covered woods, he found a group of white camouflage vehicles.
How easy was it for the Soviets? It was their own infantry in gray and black military uniforms. They stood among the huge tree trunks of the same black color, like walking trees, which also served as a special camouflage.
The two infantry battalions have already turned around, and the two battalion commanders exchanged information.
Battalion Commander Sverling believed: "This enemy is well-trained and well-equipped. It is difficult to estimate what their purpose is, but it is definitely not a good thing!" Therefore, with a sense of honor, he led his men to catch up.
Keep the honor in your own hands.
"How can he eat alone?" Another battalion commander, ignoring the lagging tanks and assault guns, simply led the infantry to catch up.
These German soldiers were under great pressure, especially Sverin's men. They were transformed from logistics troops into the main force, and they had never suffered such heavy losses. One-third of their brothers had already withdrawn from the battle with casualties. Now, their
The pursuit was met with stronger resistance.
Natasha was very happy at this time. The commander said that those who fight will not think about carrying too many bullets, but will always worry about not having enough ammunition.
The German soldiers in the first two platoons encountered precise shooting from the Soviet army. Especially Natasha, as the most elite sniper, she was proud to lie down in the snowdrift to hide herself perfectly. Balzen knew that she would definitely create something
It has huge tactical value. Just send a person to press the bullets in her magazine.
Natasha's shots almost hit the target. Naturally, it was impossible for her to hit her head with every shot. At least she would lose her combat ability immediately if she hit.
Balzen saw the girl shooting frequently and felt distressed in his heart. "She must have shot too many bullets today!"
Natasha gritted her teeth and persisted. Even with the muzzle brake invented by Yang Mingzhi, the recoil was reduced a lot. Her right shoulder was always hit by the gun butt after frequent firings, and her arm was already very sore for a long time.
Such a high-intensity battle takes a huge toll on the body. Fortunately, Natasha was pleasantly surprised to see that the enemy's front line was being hit hard by her own people, and a large area of the ground had fallen.
The two German platoons on the front line were almost wiped out. They wanted to retreat, but there were still troops following.
The two German battalion commanders were fighting crazy! They were both holding Luger pistols. Their behavior was not to charge into the battle personally, but to personally command the battalion headquarters and suppress the deserters.
Battalion Commander Sverlin even pointed a gun at one person's head and shouted: "Your comrades are bleeding! Do you want to be a coward of the Third Reich? For the sake of victory, keep charging!"
Once you enter a state of madness, life and death are no longer a concern.
Balzen brought plenty of ammunition for this trip. After all, he was well prepared!
Just as Sverin was suppressing his troops, he suddenly saw that his buddy, the battalion commander, had been hit hard on the head, his military cap was blown off, and his whole person was as stiff as a branch, stiff and stiff.
in the end.
Balzen on the other side was overjoyed. He hammered the ground excitedly. "Go to hell, you bastard. You are still wearing a military cap in such a battle. You are so stubborn! Then go to hell!"
The person who caused this sniper kill was naturally Natasha, and it was actually an ordinary shot by her.
To be honest, four hours have passed since this battle, which was also the four hours the girl spent to gain military merit. The battle was so fierce that she had already fired two hundred rounds of full-power rifle ammunition, and the barrel of the gun was also very hot.
sharp.
Under the noise of gunfire, the girl yelled at Balzen: "Company Commander! My body can't stand it anymore, and my barrel is about to melt!"
"Then you pause for a moment and use the snow to cool down the barrel of the gun. You see, the enemy's offensive has weakened!" Balzen yelled.
The two infantry battalions have left the tank troops far behind, and those iron bastards are still trekking hard.
Because a battalion commander was killed in the battle, his head seemed to have been chopped off. The battalion suddenly fell into chaos, and suffered huge losses, and even began to retreat without authorization.
This behavior of betraying teammates made Sverin angry and stamped his feet: "Kester (the battalion commander), you are dead! Look at your troops, they are just a bunch of rabble!" (To be continued.) u
