Chapter five hundred and sixty first nervous escape
The lumberjack door and the gunmen in the forest are going crazy! The workers threw down their axes, unloaded the wood, and ran away as fast as possible, as if there was the most dangerous thing in the forest. Updated fastest This fear spread directly to the persistent
The shooters, German soldiers and puppet soldiers, held their rifles and fled crazily in the direction of the crowd's escape, that is, the German position.
"Now! Asanov, remember our agreement! Wait until the early morning of March 25th, and we will wait at the location you marked on the map!"
Balzen pushed the man hard, and the entire reconnaissance company retreated tactically. Asanov escaped from the forest and blended into the fleeing crowd.
But the crowd's escape path was not stable.
The German soldiers defending the position were so nervous that they actually regarded the escaping crowd as the enemies of Ula's Charge. Perhaps it was because these prisoners of war were still wearing Soviet winter cotton-padded clothes.
Some people were shot and fell to the ground, so everyone was lying on the ground.
The German troops located in this section of the defense line are a regiment affiliated with the 707th Division. Its regiment leader Lotharheim was drinking black tea leisurely in the semi-crypt frontline command post he had built.
The sudden sound of gunfire destroyed all peace. The sudden sound of gunfire made him alert, and then the machine gun fire made him unable to hold back, and he rushed out of the headquarters with his entourage.
He saw his soldiers wasting bullets freely, and the riflemen also entered the predetermined positions one after another. "In real actual combat, my soldiers showed such decisiveness. It's a good thing!" He was very proud of his people for being able to quickly enter the fighting state.
But then I thought about it, the Soviet guerrillas were really launching a massive attack at this time?! Why was the whole world filled with the "roar" of German weapons? What about the enemy's attack? What about the sound of bullets piercing the air?!
He hurried to the forefront trench, where many periscopes were arranged.
In the camera, he saw a group of people lying on the ground, but the woods in the distance were quiet. Suddenly, he had new views on his soldiers. "What the hell! Could those people be our logging staff?"
Workers, and our supervisor soldiers! My machine gunners are shooting their own people!"
The order to fire was quickly passed on, but little did they know that the soldiers had already poured a large number of bullets into the forest!
At this time, some of the people lying down raised the white cloth. When the world returned to calm for a while, the brave people slowly stood up and walked towards the direction of the position.
What else could Losastan say? With an angry look on his face, he ordered: "The company commanders of the entire regiment urgently gathered and came to the regiment headquarters. I want to know what happened just now!"
This "crazy counterattack" against the forest also worried Balzen, as if the reconnaissance company had really been exposed! He ordered the troops to speed up their evacuation, covering five kilometers south in one run.
Balzen had two more "lumberjacks" on hand, and asked some more information from the two of them. These statements were not much different from what Asanov said, but some details were added, such as the enemy's front line.
There are more Ukrainian women.
"Those people must be prostitutes, a bunch of fascist prostitutes," Balzen asserted.
Those women should not be on the front lines of the war. No matter what the reason is, since they perform special services for the Germans, they must pay the price for it, such as dying in the war.
After gathering all the miscellaneous intelligence, a flexible soldier climbed to the top of a pine tree with an antenna and set up a new "red pine signal tower."
Electrical signals are sent through here to the direction of the Homnich ruins, where a Soviet team is stationed, like "telephone operators". They serve as relay stations to relay the frontline information to the 284th Division headquarters in the shortest possible time.
.
This intelligence was refined into key words, but it was still very lengthy. When the telegraph operator finally finished typing the code, it was a great relief.
Balzen also breathed a long sigh of relief. He said to the correcting soldiers: "Comrades, unfortunately, a firefight still occurred. Now we can only hope that the Germans will think that everything is caused by the escape of prisoners of war, and hope that they will be more stupid.
, will not increase pressure on us and strengthen the search. We also hope that those prisoners of war can escape."
To be honest, five hundred prisoners of war returned to the Soviet army, which was an entire battalion of combat infantry! For units such as the Anatoli Battalion that was later formed, many of them were rescued prisoners of war, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved after training.
But those five hundred people were actually going to revolt, and there were only a few days before the implementation of the plan! Balzen couldn't help but worry. This time there was a sudden burst of gunfire, will the Germans strengthen their defenses? No! They will definitely do it, so prisoners of war
Your escape plan will definitely be disrupted!
The reconnaissance company has no more choices. In terms of emotions, everyone naturally hopes that their compatriots can escape death. Military assistance is impossible. No matter how powerful the reconnaissance company is, there are more than a hundred people. There are indeed thousands of German troops on the opposite side, as well as heavy artillery and machine guns.
!
The intelligence was conveyed to the division headquarters immediately, and Balzen ordered the troops to go into hibernation and remain in this state until receiving a reply from the division headquarters.
…
On the other hand, the German guns no longer poured out firepower, and the regiment commander Lotharheim ordered a platoon of soldiers to walk out of the position.
Facing the corpses on the ground, the prisoners of war were still frightened thinking about what had just happened. Even if they could escape, it was not now. The best way to do it under the hail of bullets was to lie down.
However, there were still some prisoners of war who did not follow the troops and fled toward the German positions in the chaos. The opportunity to gain freedom was rare, and at least thirty people fled into the forest.
The rest were completely clueless and instinctively followed the crowd, only to be struck by bullets indiscriminately.
A platoon of German soldiers went to check the situation. The situation was not optimistic. There were more than a dozen Eastern Battalion soldiers and German soldiers injured and killed, as well as more than 20 prisoners of war.
Their situation is very bad, because the injuries are all from the abnormal firepower of general-purpose machine guns. It has been assumed that the tripod's mg34 has no recoil. To the densely fleeing crowd, it is like a harvester passing through a wheat field!
Losaheim quickly received a report from the platoon leader. "We had fifteen casualties, three soldiers were killed and two were wounded, eight soldiers of the Polish battalion were killed and two were wounded. Twenty-five prisoners of war were wounded."
He can still accept this result. After all, this is the front line, and accidental injuries are completely understandable. Now he just wants to know the cause of this incident. When he interrogated the withdrawn supervisory soldiers, almost everyone explained that this was completely
An incident where prisoners of war rioted and took the opportunity to escape!
Later, soldiers found the bodies of the slain people in the forest. After a celebration for the living and dead prisoners of war, 30 people were missing, which basically confirmed this statement.
The injured prisoners of war were killed hastily after the inventory was completed. After all, Lotharheim did not want to waste time in this regard.
That night, he had obtained the basic investigation report of the incident. Regarding the firefight that occurred in this corner of the front, he must provide the division headquarters with a reasonable conclusion.
Putting down the documents, taking a sip of black tea, he asked the deputy commander: "It seems that this is not a provocation by the guerrillas. I have to tighten the supervision of the prisoners of war! Let them hold axes, and these crazy people will have the opportunity to chop
Kill our soldiers! What do you think, Hausenfried?”
"Maybe you are right, but you also have to listen to the opinions of the staff." The pair of regimental commanders and deputy commanders set their sights on Haldeman, their regiment chief of staff. (To be continued...) rw
