Chapter five hundred and eighty first unexpected victory
"The Germans are catching up! Brothers, keep your eyes open and shoot as soon as you see a figure! Aim at the target and be careful to save bullets!" Yevgeny ordered.???
He was right. The Soviet melee at night was simply "fire suppression." No one could see the enemy clearly, bullets were still consumed a lot, and it was impossible to know the enemy's casualties during the battle.
The Soviet army instinctively believed that this was the enemy's persistent pursuit. The random fighting at night made ordinary soldiers very depressed. After all, there was no military merit at all by consuming ammunition like that!
The soldiers remained calm, but the enemy was firing guns everywhere. Judging from the sound of gunfire and fire, the enemy's front line must be very large. No one knows what they gain by exposing themselves like this. Is it to be emboldened? Or is it because they have more troops?
?
Behind the thick tree trunks and under the cover of the soil, there were Soviet soldiers everywhere, the muzzles of their guns moving in accordance with the direction of the gunshots.
Until they saw a large number of figures shaking in the forest. When these people came closer and closer, the soldiers were shocked.
Balzen held up his binoculars and suddenly saw that this was a group of guys dressed nondescriptly. They were wearing Soviet cotton-padded clothes, but wearing German steel helmets. "This can't be the Eastern Battalion! That Asanov mentioned emphatically
I got through!" When he thought about this, he concluded that these were those people. After all, he had encountered such people before. They were a group of die-hard traitors who betrayed the Soviet Union!
Therefore, Balzen immediately shouted: "Comrades! They are from the Eastern Battalion! Don't hesitate, they were once the Red Army, but now they have become the Nazi's lackeys! Now, shoot at the traitors of the great motherland!"
Upon hearing this, hatred quickly boosted morale. Originally, some people were confused by the enemy's clothes, especially for the reinforcements. It turned out that they were all traitors, so there was nothing to say - kill!
The counterattack from the Soviet army suddenly broke out. Machine guns fired wildly at the enemy. Many people at the front fell to the ground. The remaining guys were very smart. They immediately hid behind the tree trunks and stretched out their guns.
Once out, shoot in any possible direction.
This scene made Balzen laugh contemptuously: "A bunch of people who are afraid of death! Cowards will always be cowards!"
Does it mean that it is safe to hide behind the tree trunk? Of course it is impossible. This is the moment when RPG shows its power.
Compared with mortars, RPGs are more suitable for forest operations. These rocket-propelled grenades drag a tail of thick smoke and bombard the enemy area. The shooter decisively replaced the anti-infantry warhead with shell fragments. The barrage composed of these prefabricated fragments
Even those who are hiding cannot resist.
In addition, the precise bursts of machine gunners and riflemen also made enemies whose body positions were exposed become the target of public criticism. At the moment of the exchange of fire, these Eastern battalions were completely inferior in terms of firepower.
In fact, objectively speaking, the firepower of Dongfang Battalion is terrible.
They were actually equipped with Soviet-made weapons, but unfortunately almost all of them were Mosin-Nagant rifles, and the machine guns were only Deggarevs. It can be said that this battle was a life-and-death battle between the renegade Red Army and the genuine Red Army.
Therefore, psychologically, Balzen and his men looked down on this group of people at all. They had nothing to say about killing traitors when they were caught. The soldiers' self-confidence was also at the peak of their powers.
Lavrenti and Yevgeny at the forefront were not willing to continue exchanging fire with the enemy. They obviously began to retreat tactically when they found that their firepower was inferior to the opponent's. The density of the enemy's front-line firepower dropped!
We can't let them escape! If we want to fight, let's fight a war of annihilation!
Based on this belief, the two battalion commanders immediately sent out 200 men each to outflank the enemy from the left and right wings.
From a macro level, the two Eastern battalions formed a large and semi-encircled net. They relied on this formation to conduct searches and immediately retracted their front lines after finding the target. Unfortunately, after encountering a tenacious blockage, their plan fell through.
Just stop and shoot on the spot.
The enemy did not advance, so the Soviet army launched a counterattack. Balzen immediately agreed with the two men's decision, and the circular front began to disintegrate, gradually turning into a typical inverted triangle formation.
This is the tried and tested offensive formation of the 284th Division. Lavrenti is responsible for the left wing, Yevgeny is responsible for the right wing, and Balzen guards the core. The entire formation is like a pair of big hands, grabbing a group of enemies in front of it into its arms, completing the encirclement, and then being surrounded.
Swallow them alive. This is called hitting the superior force and completing a local annihilation battle. Repeat this tactic to eat the enemy bite by bite.
This is the reason why Yang Mingzhi sent the three of them. These three people know his tactics thoroughly and are all good disciples.
The Dongfang Battalion's front immediately discovered the unusual behavior of the Soviet army. They were counterattacking ferociously, and their numbers were beyond imagination! There were simply more people than they had!!!
In fact, the current situation of the Dongfang Battalion is very bad. It just rained, and the cotton-padded clothes were soaked. It was like fighting with a bag of sand on their backs. Not to mention that their firepower was completely unable to keep up with the enemy in front of them. Even their retreat was very slow.
, many people began to take off their clothes, exposing their white backs and running around.
The enemy planned to escape! But their running speed could not keep up with the Soviet army. The four hundred people fought their way out from the left and right wings, running as fast as they could and completely blocking the enemy's retreat. The follow-up troops also quickly followed up, relying on the powerful
The precise firepower ruined the enemy's breakout from the pocket formation and the rescue of the enemy outside the pocket.
Balzen was pleased to see that a group of enemies had been surrounded by him. He raised his submachine gun and shouted: "Comrades! Capture them alive! Let us humiliate them!"
The hatred of ordinary soldiers for traitors was even stronger than that of German soldiers. Other enemies were running away, and the Soviet army did not continue to pursue them. Many guys from the Eastern Battalion successfully escaped.
Only more than 200 people were trapped in the pocket formation. They put up a desperate resistance at first, but were quickly blasted by more than a dozen RPGs and eaten dozens of grenades. Due to the interference of trees and soil, the enemy lost more than 200 soldiers.
There were not many people, but they were still afraid of the Soviet firepower, so they all chose to surrender.
A large group of people were wailing in Russian, hoping to save their lives.
The orders received by the Soviet soldiers were indeed not to kill them as soon as they met, but to obey the order and humiliate them.
There were more than a hundred soldiers from the Eastern Battalion who survived. When they saw the soldiers charging at Ula with their spears on, they threw away their guns one by one, knelt on the ground and raised their hands.
What was waiting for him was a barrage of kicks, angrily smashing of rifle butts, and punches and kicks.
The entire battlefield was simply not a battlefield. It could be better described as a gang fight. The scene was very chaotic. It was not until Balzen gave an order that this barbaric and violent scene came to an abrupt end.
At this moment, the guys wearing German steel helmets were beaten to a state of disheveled appearance, one or two of their faces were covered in blood, and some of them were obviously beaten to death!
At this time, a guy with bleeding from the corner of his mouth staggered over. He seemed to think that the person in front of him was a high official.
He said in Russian: "Please, don't kill us! Don't beat us anymore."
Balzen's eyes sharpened, and he pointed his gun at this man. This move scared the man to the ground. The surrounding Soviet troops, including Balzen himself, laughed. "It seems that you are the so-called East."
Volunteers are our traitors! Cowards are cowards, look at the good things your new master has done! But it is really a bad idea to use you as cannon fodder to attack us, your combat effectiveness is really too weak!" 8
