Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh melee in the night
The German positions were filled with loud gunfire, including rifles, machine guns, and various sounds. Many soldiers simply pointed their guns in the sky and fired at will, as if the prisoners of war really started to escape and the defenders were forced to stop them.
Balzen looked in the north direction. He lay on the temporary bunker and couldn't help complaining to the soldiers on the left and right: "Listen, this kind of firepower is a massacre for the escaping prisoners of war. Will any of you believe that the prisoners of war really choose to escape?"
Has anyone survived being shot?"
No one among the veterans in the reconnaissance company now believes that those prisoners of war will escape safely. If you see a group of people coming into view, don't waste any time, just pull the trigger and kill as many as they come!
In order to quickly resolve the battle, some soldiers at the forefront were simply equipped with RPGs. At that time, it would be best to use the most violent weapons to deal with emergencies.
On the other hand, Lotharheim had already ordered the "bait" to set off, and nearly two hundred German soldiers put on Soviet cotton-padded clothes crossed their positions and ran quickly along the established route.
"It's all up to you, boys, capture the enemy as much as possible!" Losaheim watched those figures gradually disappear into the night. Standing in the trench, he still didn't know that he and the injured Haldeman were still close to each other.
The plan is pretty bad.
These fake prisoners of war advanced in a loose formation. At first they were running, but then they gradually became walking.
This group of people gradually became cautious and stayed far enough away from the position. In order to act realistically, the two companies only had a hundred guns. There were soldiers from the Dongfang Battalion in the team. They would meet with the Soviet troops who had emerged. Taking advantage of this opportunity
The signal flare is fired at the opportunity, and the battle begins.
Getting closer and closer to the agreed location, their actions were closely watched by the ambushed Soviet army. Or because of the night vision goggles, Balzen was reinforced with two sets of night vision goggles, one of which was installed on the machine gun. The machine gunner was already far away.
I saw a group of people coming from a distance.
"Company Commander! Is it an enemy? Or a friendly force? I saw a group of people moving!"
"It must be the enemy!" Balzen ordered the machine gunner to prepare for battle.
In fact, from the perspective of the machine gunner, those swaying figures are also enemies. Who suddenly slacked off after breaking through the enemy's blockade? Comparatively, if he were an escaped prisoner of war, he would definitely want to run a marathon, forty kilometers
Only with distance can you feel safe.
The Soviet soldiers aimed their guns at this place one after another. Soon, under the moonlight, a group of people came to the agreed gathering point.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted the word "Red Army" loudly, and Balzen immediately ordered the troops to stand still for the time being.
"What is Balzen doing? We agreed to give him a beating first!" Lavrenti reluctantly turned off the safety of his rifle. He directly called the telegraph operator and asked Balzen in plain language what was going on.
Because, at the critical moment, this group of people shouted words, which were the secret codes for the previous connection. All the previous abnormal situations seemed to have faded away. Maybe these people are really escaped prisoners of war?
Rafe stopped talking nonsense and said directly to the intercom: "Balzen, you are too cautious now! Have you forgotten the deputy division commander's order? Fire now! Even if they are real prisoners of war, you have to fire! This is the division headquarters
The command."
Balzen thought the same thing, and the safety that had been closed opened again. He pulled the trigger at will, which became the signal for the attack. In an instant, hundreds of guns fired at the same time.
The machine gunner beside him fired at the crowd wantonly with the help of night vision goggles. Under the green screen, many people fell to the ground.
The RPG players also considered the situation and opened fire. These ordinary-charge warheads filled with bullet fragments had unparalleled mass destruction, and the explosive fragments swept across the crowd.
In the first exchange of fire, those fake prisoners of war fell to the ground, and the remaining people hurriedly lay on the ground. They opened fire in the direction of the fire, and this completely exposed their attributes - they were not prisoners of war at all.
Just from the density of firepower, Balzen understood that this group of people must have dozens of rifles. It is impossible to imagine that so many unarmed prisoners of war could be captured in an instant. He was a little overly cautious about his just now.
I was scared because the guys I saw were my enemies.
The gunfire quickly subsided, because in the dim light, the blurry figures disappeared. In fact, the living guys were lying on the ground, and suddenly, a green flare shot up into the sky.
It was so beautiful that it flew dozens of meters high and exploded.
"Damn it! We've been exposed!" Balzen stood up suddenly and immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a message to the friendly forces: "No matter what, let's retreat quickly! This is a bait!"
Who can't see that this is not a bait?
Lavrenti currently has the most troops on hand. He is in charge of the right wing and is carrying a large group of unknown people entering the forest. He has just received the retreat order from Balzen. As a result, the sensitive soldier put his ear to the trunk of the tree and heard the sound of the earth.
of abnormal noise.
"Battal Commander, there may be a crowd moving towards us, what should we do?!" The soldier yelled out of desperation.
"What else can we do? Prepare to fight! No matter whether the guys coming are humans or monsters, you all shoot for me and kill them! We have more troops, so we can cover the retreat of others!"
The soldiers were united. Because of Lavrenti's request, Balzen had no worries at all. A group of undead people were still lying on the ground. They were enemies, and the Soviet army could no longer care about them.
Balzen and Yevgeny retreated south. If this was a complete attack, the enemy might retaliate with artillery fire.
Contrary to these two, Lavrenti's men took a firm defense. Many soldiers pressed their ears to the ground in desperation, only to hear the shaking sound getting closer and closer, and soon they heard the sound of footsteps.
"Comrades, face the darkness and fight me!"
The order was given, and the soldiers, who had been holding back for a long time, fired collectively.
Just like the law of the dark forest, although the Soviet army does not know what is approaching, is it the German army or some other monster? In short, the guys in the dark are extremely dangerous, and they can only be killed first with bullets.
Lawrence, who was in the process of advancing into the group, was momentarily confused. There were bright lights and loud sounds everywhere in the distance, followed by the strange sound of something breaking through the darkness.
From time to time, soldiers fell to the ground amidst the noise, and even a submachine gunner in front of Lawrence fell down as if he had lost his mind. Lawrence was so frightened that he lay down directly.
"Damn it! It's a blockade! Brothers, fight back!"
The Germans didn't know where they were, so they just shot at the fire.
At present, the Soviet and German armies were unable to take good aim because the light was too dark. The two groups of people were shooting at each other in the darkness, with bullets flying across the air.
When it came to firepower, it was obvious that the Germans were better, but the firepower lasted only a few dozen seconds. The rate of fire of the MP40 was not fast, but the ammunition carried this time could not withstand the crazy waste.
Lawrence realized that if he continued to shoot aimlessly, all the bullets would be fired. He shouted with all his strength: "Everyone, save your bullets and aim for the light!" In the end, not many people listened to him, and the submachine gunners were still unscrupulous.
After a round of shooting, there were even people lying on their stomachs, just holding their submachine guns with their arms outstretched and shooting blindly.
On the other hand, Raff's situation was not that good. One of his platoon commanders yelled at him: "Batalion Commander! Who are we fighting!? It's so dark that I can't aim at all."
"Don't talk nonsense! Wherever there is fire, hit it! We'll just fire like this. If we hold on for ten more minutes, we'll retreat!"
