Chapter 449: Completely wiped out the infantry regiment
The Soviet army launched a general offensive, and tanks also supported it.
They escaped from the cover of the forest and stormed the German positions on the ground.
"Shoot quickly! The enemy is coming! Fight me!" Wolff tried hard to maintain order. Just after the bombardment, many people were injured and killed. Those who were alive were attacked by the enemy before they could take a breath. In this way, his urging was not very effective at all.
Effect.
The firepower of the German army became more relaxed, and the mood of ordinary soldiers became more and more desperate. This was obviously the first battle for many people. Shouldn't the war be the triumph of the German army? Defeated Poland in ten days, occupied France in one month, and the Eastern Front
The war reached the gates of Moscow in one fell swoop.
This is the first time they have participated in a large-scale war, and it will also be the last.
In panic, the soldiers fought back desperately. In panic, many people just held their guns high and opened fire without even aiming. Bullets were flying everywhere, and many Soviet soldiers were shot.
However, the Soviet attack was very deep. The Germans lost almost all their heavy equipment during the retreat, and their firepower was simply unable to carry the Soviet attack wave.
Not only that, each mortar team carried parts of various sizes and followed the ordinary soldiers forward. They stopped four hundred meters away from the enemy position and established a mortar position on a slightly higher slope.
Yang Mingzhi assembled thirty small mortars. These German 50mm gadgets were of average power and could only be used intensively to get twice the result with half the effort.
The mortar crews moved quickly, with one team firing as soon as they were installed.
Frequent whistling sounds came from the sky, and smart people immediately realized that this was the unique sound of falling mortar shells. The shells accurately landed on the German position. They had just endured a round of shelling, and now they encountered a new enemy.
The infantry also held submachine guns and fired wildly, and the battle simply turned into a massacre.
What else can Wolfe do, he can only fight bravely.
After a machine gunner was killed, as the regiment leader, he no longer had any worries and simply acted as a machine gunner.
Yang Mingzhi was watching the changes in the battle situation from a distance. He suddenly saw an enemy man holding a machine gun, who was actually wearing an officer's big-brimmed hat. "That's crazy! Is this officer looking for death?"
"How about we kill him! This person is a very obvious target." Natasha on the side suggested.
"No! My dear, this man is very brave, our soldiers will kill him! If he is lucky enough, I hope to capture this man and ask him what gives him the courage to not fear death."
Natasha shook her head and didn't ask any more questions. She knew that she could quit this battle. Overwork and shoulder pain made it impossible to continue overdrafting. Star Tao, on the other hand, completely listened to her husband's wishes, and she was already taking care of him.
Emergency surgeries were even started for the wounded soldiers in the forest.
Bullets don't have eyes. A stray bullet hit the ground and rebounded, directly hitting Wolfe's left arm. The force also pushed him down. For a moment, Wolfe thought he had been seriously injured and was about to die.
I saw that the regiment leader had been shot and there was a lot of blood around him. It looked like he had been killed.
I am afraid that only Wolfe himself is the resolute militant here. The remaining ordinary soldiers must obey military orders and stand up to stop the attack. But if the regiment leader dies, who else can stop people from escaping for their lives?
At the forefront of the position, Soviet soldiers attacked under the cover of mortars, and hand-to-hand combat broke out immediately. The German soldiers, who were completely unprepared for close-quarter combat, made great sacrifices at the moment of contact, even if there were pregnant women among them.
A strong and strong person can get along with the Soviet soldiers, and even defeat many people with unparalleled power, but they can't bear the follow-up people who keep catching up!
No matter how strong the warriors were, they were helpless in the face of countless spear thrusts. With their absolute superiority in military strength, all the German army's forward positions were lost.
Seeing this situation, if they didn't run away, they would be dead. Hundreds of German soldiers did what Nicklaus's men had done before. However, because of their haste, many people just threw away their firearms, took off their armor belts, and put on their helmets.
Throw it away and walk into the wetland.
It has just entered March, and the water temperature of the Dnieper River is only one or two degrees. This low temperature makes people shiver.
The Germans who decided to escape did not care that the water was too cold, and jumped into the water as soon as they gritted their teeth. Hundreds of people were like frogs jumping into the water, planning to swim along the small waterway connected to the main river until they reached the other side of the river.
The actions of these people were clearly seen by Yang Mingzhi from a distance, and he also discovered that the officer machine gunner had also fallen.
He asserted: "The enemy may have internal strife, and now some people are unwilling to fight to the death."
"But sir, there are still many people who continue to resist." Natasha said nervously: "Our comrades are fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy. This doesn't seem to be what you want."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "The plan can't keep up with the changes, and I don't have many good ideas. Our soldiers charged very resolutely, and it turned into hand-to-hand combat! This would cause more casualties, but the Russians also like this violent fighting method."
After all, they are a group of rough old fools, nothing like the Chinese who are accustomed to formulating complex strategies and tactics. Relying on their tall stature and relying on brute force to confront the enemy head-on, these fools have not changed in a thousand years!
At this point in the battle, Yang Mingzhi also knew that the end of the infantry regiment had come. Even those who jumped into the Dnieper River, these soldiers were already exhausted from the veterans, and coupled with the devastation of the cold river water, this Dnieper River would be the last step to annihilate the regiment.
"Combat power".
Some Soviet soldiers still used firearms to resolve the battle. As the front was compressed, the barrages became increasingly dense.
The Wolf regiment, which originally had a strength of 3,000 men, now only has 50 men at his disposal. Where are the others? They have either been wounded or fallen to the ground, or are still fighting with the Soviet army.
The injured Wolfe was taken away by the soldiers. The last few people also hoped to jump into the water and swim, and even took Wolfe himself away with him.
Being soberer, he immediately refused, "If you want to leave, you can leave! The only result of diving is to freeze to death or drown from exhaustion. I am your officer and should have led you to victory. Now I have failed. As a soldier, I don't want to be captured."
At this moment, Wolfe was thinking about death. He still had a pistol in his waist, and the muzzle of the Ruger pistol was already pointed at his chin.
The soldiers on the side were stunned. Their uniforms had been damaged in the battle. They should have been handsome young men, but their faces were blackened by gunpowder smoke.
Wolfe looked at the sun that had begun to set, and sighed: "My army is like the sunset, the light will disappear, but it will never come back." With a cruel heart, he pulled the trigger.
Fifty soldiers accompanied Wolfe until the last second of his life. They should have jumped into the water to escape, but they also lost the courage to escape.
"Just surrender!" one person plucked up the courage to say.
The others were strong and had nothing to say. Their courage to fight completely disappeared. They saw that more and more people who had previously dived disappeared. Everything was said by the dead regiment leader. The last German army threw away their weapons and raised their hands.
He raised his hands. This move also caused the Soviet soldiers who were catching up to stop fighting. They pointed their spears at the group of people. A soldier who could speak German stood up and ordered: "Those who surrender will not die!
