On the other hand, after succeeding, Balzen chose to retreat without hesitation.
He did not have time to carefully estimate how many people the enemy had lost due to his beating. Judging from the enemy's retaliatory shelling, the losses must have been considerable.
He was well aware of the Soviet army's own losses, with ten casualties and two killed in action. The casualties were all carried away on simple stretchers, and the entire army headed south until they returned to their original camp.
It wasn't until 11:30 in the morning that the entire army stopped. No matter how good their physical strength was, no one could continue with the high-intensity marching and fighting from midnight to noon. So as soon as they got the order to rest, the soldiers
They lay down on the ground one after another. After returning to their respective positions, they ate some dry food, wrapped themselves in blankets and fell asleep.
Balzen was equally tired. In today's battle, the action of retaliating against the enemy's logging was considered a success, but two soldiers also died, and the remaining eight were not in good condition.
Before falling asleep, he had to smoke a few cigarettes to feel comfortable, and so did Lavrenti and Yevgeny.
Compared to Balzen, these two are in a much better mood.
"Today we achieved great results. I saw those traitors at the forefront being mopped down by our machine gunners!" Lavrenti started the conversation. He also specifically mentioned the reloading bullets used by the troops.
Yevgeny immediately complained: "Come on, just those reloading bullets, after they are fired, the machine gunner will work hard to clean the barrel."
"At least this kind of bullet can automatically disintegrate after hitting it. Our army's improved mg34 is already more powerful than the original German one." Lavrenti retorted.
"But we still suffered casualties. I originally hoped that there would be no damage!" Balzen blew smoke rings, but he was not in the same good mood as the other two.
Lavrenti looked at him and shook his head: "Barzen, you also learned some bad habits from the deputy division commander. Today we won a great victory, so let's be happy! Think too long-term and lament our weak casualties.
, this is not our responsibility! Besides, we have important things today."
"Yes, our reinforcements are about to arrive! There are actually a group of children! The division commander said that these children can also be considered as reinforcements. It's really crazy!"
Balzen was still listless, and Yevgeny took the opportunity to say: "Don't underestimate these children! There are many girls among them! These girls will grow up to be big girls in a few years. In fact, only now, their figures
It’s dazzling!”
"Come on! I'm still interested in adult girls!" Balzen waved his hand, "I don't have the elegance of a deputy teacher."
"That's true. Belekov is famous for his love. Who doesn't like those little girls who are as cute as angels and have devilish figures." Lavrenti smiled as he spoke.
After laughing for a while, Balzen quickly took another sip on the butt of the cigarette, and then puffed out green smoke as fiercely as a chimney. "I don't know what the deputy commander is thinking. Now Natasha and Besica are on the front line.
If nothing goes wrong tomorrow morning, the airdrop operation will begin, and our most arduous task will also begin! On the one hand, we have to guard against the Germans, but also look at the pile of parachutes in the sky, and take care of a lot of children. I feel
I’m going to have a nervous breakdown.”
"It turns out that our death-defying captain will also get tired." Lavrenti joked.
"Of course people will be tired. Haven't you heard the snoring around you? Your subordinates and I have rested, why are we chatting here? There is only one task now, rest!"
It was the warmest time of the day, and the Soviet troops who had returned from victory began to rest and recuperate, that is, taking a collective nap, with only a small number of troops on guard.
The telegraph operator kept his eyes wide open as always and sent telegrams to the division headquarters regularly. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a new signal was heard - it came from reinforcements!
…
The motorized troops had extremely high mobility, and the Soviet troops of this generation were very familiar with the geography. They specifically avoided various ponds and still went straight to the front line efficiently.
Carambola and Natasha held rifles in their arms calmly. Igor acted as the logistics and escort for the two girls as always, so he carried a large amount of luggage.
On this trip, more than a hundred children from the youth camp were all carrying huge backpacks and food bags on their shoulders. They did not have uniforms, only a red scarf was considered a unified "attire".
Yang Tao is no exception. She doesn't really understand the concept of this red scarf, but her sisters were a little disgusted with it for a time. Because it is something that the Young Pioneers should wear, and as a member of the Communist Youth League, there is no need to wear it. "I look like this now.
A child!" Starfruit didn't understand Natasha's complaints, so she could only reply: "You are a child."
Therefore, under the leadership of Kharkiv, these more than a hundred children went straight to the front line. They were excited, nervous and fearful of the unknown. The little soldiers had various mentalities, but everyone had the same goal -
—Kill the enemy.
The road was bumpy because of the speed of the car. Fortunately, a large group of people packed into the truck compartment with supplies and equipment, and they were all crowded for a while, which offset a lot of the bumps.
The convoy had already sent a telegram to Balzen, and soon received a reply, ordering the convoy to drive to the designated location on the map, with specialized soldiers responding.
In this way, the convoy stopped at a forest clearing, where a company of soldiers was already waiting.
"The cars driving over from afar are like German transport convoys. These cars are all German."
"That's right! Nikolai, you are also a veteran who participated in the ambush of the Germans a few months ago. The vehicle that was originally going to be blown up has now become ours with the same model."
"Yes, many of the machine guns in our army's hands also belong to the enemy!"
The soldiers did not have time to express their feelings, and the convoy moved straight forward on the grass in an orderly manner. Of course, these were German vehicles. In order to avoid mistakes, a red flag was hung on the front of each vehicle to prove their identity.
Vehicles arrived one after another, and soldiers rushed forward. You must know that during these days, the troops were either living a hard life or fighting fiercely with the enemy. The supplies sent this time were a real help in times of need!
The wooden planks of the carriage were opened, and a large group of short soldiers jumped out one after another. Their movements were a bit clumsy, and after experiencing the bumps for several hours, many people fell down after jumping out.
Star Tao stood up, her butt was numb! Fortunately, she had Natasha, who was taller, to support her, so the scene was not so embarrassing.
Compared with other children, they were lucky because the tall and powerful Balzen stood beside the car, stretched out his hands and said: "Don't worry, I will carry you down."
Therefore, the two of them did not fall into a trap at all, and many of the soldiers watching whistled.
Most people know Yang Tao and Natasha. After all, these two young female warriors have the highest killing record. But now their appearance makes it difficult for people to think of cold killers. They are obviously two
A child who still needs to be taken care of!
Everyone came down, and the supply soldiers gathered together and moved down the supplies with the helping soldiers.
Kharkiv also ordered the entire youth camp to assemble at this time, and Yang Tao and Natasha immediately returned to the team without any hesitation.
After all, the troops have arrived at the front line, and good military discipline must be ensured. Kharkiv quickly formed the team, and the soldiers in the youth battalion also moved quickly. The company commander who responded to them couldn't help but applaud.
The company commander was wearing a somewhat damaged officer's hat, and Kharkov immediately ran away, standing at attention and saluting in one go.
"Report! The entire youth camp has been assembled. Battalion Commander Kharkiv. Please give instructions."
The company commander also stood in Jinsong and returned the greeting: "I am Nikolayevsky, commander of the second company of the first regiment and first battalion, and I have been ordered to meet you! Welcome, my young comrades, welcome to this damn battlefield!
