Chapter six hundred and forty-ninth the Eastern camp that is ready to collapse
Balzen led a large force to retreat calmly first. They fully executed the order, took away all the living wounded, and emptied their "munitions warehouse". They only left some ammunition for Tokov.

However, Tokov's more than 100 men were not short of ammunition. They had already found them from hundreds of corpses left by the Germans.
It seemed very strange to everyone. The soldiers were already very familiar with the German mg4 machine guns, and everyone knew how to operate the so-called most elite troops. However, there were nine machine guns captured, but none of them were like this.
In fact, these machine guns are not unfamiliar to everyone. The Czech-made ZB6 light machine gun, including the attached spare barrel, and the German army’s old mg1 machine gun. The former is almost an automatic rifle, and the latter is an old gun. The Soviet army is not picky.
At least these weapons were not damaged in the battle, and the enemy could beat them up when they came.
"Everyone is actively preparing for war. We must hold this position and delay as much time as possible." No one dared not to implement Tokov's order well.
Everyone believed in their own strength and could definitely give the enemy a beating. However, there was a huge disparity in the ratio of troops here. The Soviet army was not afraid of the enemy's frontal attack, but was worried that they would outflank them from the left and right. Once the encirclement situation was completed, there were only more than a hundred people.
It's really hard to escape.
If you die in battle, you will die without regrets, not to mention that the flames on this battlefield are still burning. There is no time to clean up the corpses lying scattered on the ground. Hundreds of Soviet soldiers are already lying here, and there are many more buried with them.
german soldier.
Everyone was fighting in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This was probably the most desolate sight, but due to the pressure of the battle, these more than a hundred soldiers were no longer afraid.
The soldiers who had collected ammunition and felt that everything was ready were sitting in the trenches, smoking and resting, or taking the time to eat German cans.
What to do if there are no sandbags? The corpses of fallen German soldiers are the best. The machine gunner set up a bipod, and on both sides were the enemy corpses lying on their sides, with gray and ferocious faces, and empty eyes facing the north. Once the Germans attacked,
They will directly see the horrific experience of their fallen compatriots, and perhaps they will be shocked and thrown into chaos.
In fact, the Soviet soldiers were also very unlucky to look at the dead Germans. Everyone was calmly waiting for the enemy's attack. That was impossible. In fact, everyone suppressed their inner nervousness. They
Everyone knows that German reinforcements are on the way, and the battle may break out in a few minutes.
What about the German army as the attacker?
Two regular infantry battalions, two Eastern battalions, these troops completed the rendezvous in the forest, and encountered Claiborne who had withdrawn on the way forward.
When they saw a large group of people rushing down, they almost immediately set up their machine guns and shot at them.
The German troops who withdrew were as frightened as if they were still Soviet troops.
An own war inevitably breaks out, and this is not the first time that internal strife among the Germans has occurred. Unlike in the past when the two armies fought more and more happily, resulting in a large number of unnecessary tragedies, this time Claiborne's troops were actually
We were too tired, so the firefight didn't last long. However, the attacking enemy withdrew quickly.
Cliburn was most afraid of another large-scale casualty among his own people, not to mention that he had to take care of leading Schumacher and his men who had already died.
As reinforcements for the two German infantry battalions, battalion commanders Speer and Drach each ordered their assigned Eastern Battalion to take the lead.
Therefore, after this group of former Soviet soldiers who had not had time to change into German uniforms encountered a sudden attack, they recovered and participated in the attack again. This behavior made Claiborne even more convinced that they were a group of Soviets.
But the poor combat effectiveness of these guys really made Claiborne's soldiers, who were filled with fear, doubt. With their crumbling moral character, were they really Soviet soldiers? They had to, at least in this kind of collective escape during the war.
Behavior can indeed avoid a lot of casualties.
In fact, although one of the two Eastern Battalions was composed of Poles and the other was Belarusian, their commanders were both German. Even so, these officers could not prevent the retreat of the troops, and thousands of people withdrew from the formation.
, a smell of failure is spreading.
"No way! My group of Poles are not ready for a war at all! These enemies are very powerful." The Polish battalion commander Freler breathlessly complained to his colleague Speer.
Unfortunately, Speer didn't buy it. "Forget it, your people simply collapsed at the first touch. In fact, I also understand the reason. We are all Germans and do not need to be responsible for the failure of the Poles. If they really
Brave, there is no way we can capture Warsaw in just one month."
"That's true, so what will you do next?"
Speer waved his hand and said: "Although our Eastern volunteers volunteer to serve us, in fact, in my opinion, this is just a way for prisoners of war to survive. They are not loyal to us at all, but to them.
Their own stomachs. As long as we continue to give them food, they will fight for us. This group of people has no shame at all. Since they are traitors to the Soviet army, they may also be our traitors. This is a group of poor mercenaries!"
Fowler didn't like hearing this. "Anyway, I am now the battalion commander of this group of lousy mercenaries. How can I feel embarrassed that you have treated this group of people so badly?"
"I'm sorry, I did go too far. But you and I both understand some things. Your superiors have given you a hard job by asking you to be the officer of this group of people. Leave the rest to me!"
Speer quickly contacted his colleague Drach, and the two sides attacked the enemy from both sides. The two Eastern battalions with poor combat effectiveness were still placed in the center. A team of more than 2,000 people spread out a large net to attack Claiborne.
Go, but the battle was over in a short time.
Speer never expected that his people would report that this was a misunderstanding. Because when Claiborne's machine gunners were shooting, they were shouting German slogans to embolden themselves. The unique sense of hoarseness in German directly made him
The attacking troops listened carefully. Soldiers from both sides roared several times, and everyone actually started talking to each other.
Since they found out they were all our own, why open fire again?
Speer and Drach rushed over immediately, and the two really saw their colleagues.
"My God, how did your battalion become like this? You are covered in dust. It's really terrible." Speer was greatly surprised. He knew that his comrade Claiborne in the same regiment had gone to outflank the Soviet rear.
Lu, I didn’t expect them to be defeated so miserably.
Seeing this man right in front of him, Drach immediately asked: "Where is Schumacher? Where is that man? Where are his troops?"
Claiborne, who was out of breath due to excitement, still raised his finger nervously and pointed casually: "These are Schumacher's troops! That friend of mine is so unlucky! The Soviets are very vicious and their snipers are very strong.
, Schumacher himself died on the spot, with half of his head cut off."
Claiborne was not stingy with words. He described the battlefield. As officers, the two officers couldn't help but touch their heads. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.)
