Bullets are stupid, but bayonets are heroes. If the era was still in the era of line battles where people lined up to shoot, the strong Russian soldiers were their strong guarantee. But in the 20th century, fighting with bayonets was very rare, because before possible hand-to-hand combat
, the defensive side's automatic firepower can harvest countless heads.
The hand-to-hand combat between the Soviet army and the German army finally came to an end. The German army fought hard until the end and all of them were killed. None of them surrendered, and because of the special nature of hand-to-hand combat, it was impossible for the Soviet army to accept their surrender.
The battle must determine the winner, and the losing side must be completely wiped out and all killed!
Balzen's face was covered in blood, and he was breathing heavily, forming a white mist in the air. Who was alive and who was dead, the mist explained everything.
Some soldiers stood leaning on their rifles, their spears bent, their eyes were confused and red from the killing. They were covered in the blood of the enemy, and their uniforms were also full of damage, with some lint popping out from the tears.
There were many people slumped on the ground wearing angry clothes without saying a word.
There are some people who are still fighting with the enemy. No! They are fighting with corpses. The German soldiers have died in the battle, and the Soviet soldiers are still stabbing them crazily with daggers. This should be disgusting.
The scene looked normal to the soldier whose eyes were red from the killing.
The fighting finally stopped, and Liu Debalev breathed a sigh of relief: "The fighting was really fierce, we finally won!"
The mayor of Gomel has seen too much blood. He has seen the massacre carried out by the Germans in the city of Gomel. On the way to the battle, he learned of the tragedy of the mistreatment of Soviet prisoners of war. After meeting with Chaiko
After the husband's brigade met, they learned about the massacre of the village by the German army from the peasants who escaped.
The breath of death spreads throughout the occupied areas. The German occupying forces can kill people without restraint. As long as they believe that someone is a Jew, a gypsy, or a supporter of the Soviet Union, they can kill without trial. In this regard, the Wehrmacht must save face and the party
The guards have no shame.
It was precisely because he had seen too many deaths, and so many soldiers had fallen in the open space between these two not-so-large forests, that Lyudbalev still remained calm.
He greeted: "Everyone, stand up. Don't be afraid. Our soldiers have already eliminated the enemy."
This is said to the general public. There are more than 200 women, children and wounded people. They are non-combatants and must be protected. They were not affected at all in this battle, but they were affected by the tragic battlefields and violence.
The rustle of flying bullets scared me.
Natasha also stood up, and she and Igor picked up all the bullet casings on the ground, some of which could still be reloaded.
"Let's go, Natasha. It's time for us to fight the big army." Igor twisted his neck and led the girl out of the forest. The two of them remained armed, and Igor even held a submachine gun in his arms. With the bullets loaded, he had to
Beware of cold shots from dying enemies.
On the other hand, Balzen immediately ordered the living people after regaining consciousness: "Comrades, clean the battlefield immediately and take away the living comrades! Collect the enemy's weapons and ammunition, and immediately fire a shot at the dying enemy."
There was a point in the hand-to-hand combat where the Germans were still waiting for death. They lost a lot of blood and were experiencing the greatest pain. Alas, the Soviet army's last-ditch kills and last-ditch shots gave them a happy ending.
The surviving soldiers pulled their injured brothers away one after another, and many even begged their comrades to give them a shot to end their pain.
The wounded were taken away one after another. Some of the seriously wounded were obviously about to die. They still had their last breath left. They simply said to Chaikov who came to inspect: "Captain, kill me. I can't live anymore, let me
Get relief quickly!"
For Balzen, this kind of pain was unbearable in his heart. Gunshots were heard frequently in the wounded gathering area, and the onlookers looked on in silence as they saw the seriously wounded committing suicide.
With every gunshot, Balzen felt nervous. These wounded men were committing suicide with pistols in their hands. From a human point of view, no one wanted their subordinates to die like this. However, if they did not die, it would be a huge drag on the troops in the middle of the war.
The wounded also knew this, and they generously chose to sacrifice.
The last gunshot died down, and Balzen turned back regretfully and asked the grief-stricken Tchaikov: "Now that they are all dead, what will you do next?"
"Bury them. I don't want my people to die in the wilderness."
"However, the enemy will definitely come back soon, and we don't have much time!" Balzen reminded.
At this critical moment, Tchaikov could tell which one was more important. The enemy would definitely come soon. The soldiers had suffered huge losses and could no longer continue fighting. The whole army had to evacuate. At this time, the two men saw Liu
Debarev was carrying women, children and wounded people through the empty field.
"Yes! You are absolutely right, we must evacuate here!" Chaikov became anxious, "We can no longer bear the heavy losses. Once all the soldiers are sacrificed, our women and children will also die!"
"
The collection of ammunition came to an abrupt end, and the lightly wounded soldiers were helped to retreat. The battle started and ended in less than half an hour. The Soviet army gave up the bodies of the fallen soldiers. The living people paid their dues after this encounter.
The road finally broke through at great cost.
After this battle, the joy of fighting did not exist at all, for no other reason than the price paid for this battle was too great.
Balzen ordered the entire army: "Everyone, hurry up. If the enemy catches up, our entire army will be annihilated!"
These words caused quite a commotion. The soldiers did not want to fight anymore, and the non-combatants wanted to escape from the land of right and wrong quickly. People quickened their pace, getting farther and farther away from the battlefield.
Forty minutes after the Soviet army retreated, the German army arrived belatedly. For no other reason than the bad roads gave the armored vehicles great resistance, and as for the infantry, their speed was even slower. When the two groups arrived here,
All they saw were corpses on the ground and bombed tanks and armored vehicles, whose battered bodies were still burning with raging fire.
This information was immediately reported to the 715th Division, and Schultz knew the situation immediately. He and Swager immediately found the approximate location of the battle on the map.
During the report, Swager discovered a major problem, that is, the dead Soviet soldiers were dressed very complicatedly. Some were uniforms, some were ordinary peasant coats, and there were scattered white cloaks and leggings.
Swag suddenly thought of the previous report, "An enemy guerrilla brigade is approaching us, called the Tchaikov brigade. This ragtag group of people is quite powerful in combat. Maybe they initiated this battle."
Schulz was very surprised. He immediately ordered his staff to get the previous intelligence. He read through it carefully and found some previous actions of this unit.
"You are right, they are indeed a mob." Schultz put down the material, "What this group of gangsters do most is attack our checkpoints, patrols, and blow up railways. They rarely participate in real battles."
"They are so desperate this time, they must have reunited with the swamp guerrillas in the south!" Swager asserted: "Maybe these Soviets are doing a big operation. Our army bombed them, and they came to attack us.
.The airport was destroyed, and not only did their actions not stop. Maybe meeting up with another guerrilla group and bringing them back to the swamp was their purpose. Or one of the purposes!"
This inference was very reasonable. Schultz stood up immediately and said: "You mean, these enemies will continue to go south?!"
"That's right! Our airport was attacked, and the army must be furious. Man, don't you want to make another meritorious service and wash away our shame?"
Schultz slowly showed a smile: "I think! Hoffman and Floyd want to avenge their embarrassment. Just in time, we also need to let the newly arrived infantry undergo the baptism of war. Maybe those young men can become our
The mainstay of the 715th Division."
Therefore, Schulz immediately ordered a pursuit. It was impossible for the tanks to enter the forest, and the infantry immediately went south. Considering that they did not carry enough field equipment, the pursuit south would not be very far. The order given to them was to continue the pursuit for two hours.
Shoot immediately when you spot an enemy.
He also reported the situation to his superiors, and the order was passed down almost immediately - the 715th Division sent two regiments, the 722nd Division sent two regiments to advance south, and the newly formed 847th Division moved closer to the road to make up for the lack of troops.
Set up a defensive line to the Dnieper River due east to intercept the enemy.
Neither Balzen nor Yang Mingzhi knew that the enemy actually sent out more than 10,000 people in retaliation! This is so rare. Aren't they afraid that the transportation lines will be attacked?
But they didn't know that because the road was temporarily closed, the German army group dared to carry out such a powerful operation.
There have always been three divisions on the highway, the 715th Division, the 722nd Division and the 805th Division. Currently, there is a newly formed 847th Division. The total strength of these troops, which are mainly responsible for public security, is around 10,000. The reason is that they are not field divisions. Logistics
The soldiers have been weakened a lot, and the number of soldiers fighting on the front line has not changed significantly.
The best soldiers are on the front line, while Belarus belongs to the rear, and the second-tier soldiers are given priority in public security operations. The number of these troops is huge, and their actual combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
But in terms of the firepower of the team, the overall strength is also greatly reduced. For this reason, in order to destroy this exposed guerrilla group, the garrison in southern Belarus did not hesitate to use heavy troops to encircle and suppress it! After all, the Chaikov guerrilla brigade has more than a thousand troops. In southern Belarus,
It is also a very powerful force.
It is difficult for the German army to eliminate the enemy in the swamp. Is it still difficult to eliminate Tchaikov? The four infantry regiments are dispatched collectively. When they find the enemy, they attack swarm. This is certainly suspected of killing a chicken with a knife, but in the face of increasingly worse public security
War, the German army needs a big victory!
But they didn't know that the Soviet troops in the swamps were also dispatched in large numbers, and a new war was about to break out! (To be continued.).
