Because of contact with the division headquarters, the German army, which was about to launch an attack, wasted some time. 23US.

Claiborne left a dozen soldiers behind to guide the friendly forces, while his troops headed for their own positions.
Speer looked at his watch. The time was already in half. The position of the Soviet army had been marked on the map. Seeing this position, everyone knew that artillery could not project firepower on them at all. If they wanted to eliminate them now, they must
Take action now.
In this battle, the German army also brought some hunting dogs. By smelling the scent from the corpses of dead Soviet soldiers, the German army chasing Balzen would not get lost at all. Now that they had a guide, they could go straight to the Soviet position.
Although after a series of battles, the newly arrived German troops knew that their enemies had suffered heavy casualties, and they did not dare to take it lightly.
The soldiers of the Eastern Battalion are at the forefront. Once a war breaks out, these people will inevitably be on the front line. Their battalion commander is a German, and the rest are not.
In terms of emotions, these more than a thousand "Eastern Volunteers" composed of Poles and Belarusians basically fought for the Germans just to earn a living. No one would really be fanatical about the so-called building of a Greater Germany. After all, they themselves
If you are not a German, there is no need to fight for it.
However, behind them are the German troops with live ammunition. Considering that the enemy they are about to face is the Soviet army with strong combat effectiveness. They were also former Soviet troops and they know the meaning of the title of Guards, especially the Belarusian battalion, which is fighting against the same Belarusians.
This kind of fighting between ethnic groups is really cruel.
It is for these reasons that Speer couldn't help but discuss with Drach who was walking together: "You also saw in the encounter with friendly forces just now, the Eastern Battalion's fighting will is poor. I guess they will also
Quickly withdraw from the enemy in the early stages of contact."
"This is almost inevitable. After all, these people have no faith. They just serve as soldiers and eat food as a means of survival. Even serious mercenaries have their own creed. These people have no such belief at all."
Seeing Drach still showing contempt, Claiborne did not deny what he said, but instead raised another possibility.
"You and the others have no faith and are the worst kind of mercenaries. But there are many Belarusians among them. We are now letting these people fight against their fellow ethnic groups. They were originally Soviet soldiers who worked for us in order to survive. There is no way
Fortunately, they will flee into the Soviet camp and become guerrillas!"
"This is impossible!" Drach was shocked, "The Soviet political commissar will shoot these traitors, and they will definitely die if they escape."
"Who knows? What if the enemy promises not to kill Belarusians and even cancels the crime of surrender? The Poles may be better off, but the Belarusians are a potential threat."
Drach couldn't help but take a breath. After hearing this, at least 500 people in the front line may defect. "Maybe you are right, it is best not to happen. We will know soon, look.
Let’s see if these White Russians are really loyal to us.”
…
Speer and Drach's suspicions were not unreasonable. The people who were cautiously advancing the front line were indeed Belarusians. These people who were leading the charge were full of ninety-nine thoughts.
First of all, the enemy is a Guards unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Furthermore, they are all from the same ethnic group. In such an environment, the people in the front will try their best to block it, and the German troops in the rear may also violently urge the battle. Sandwiched in the
How can it be so embarrassing in the middle?
For this reason, lives must be saved in the battle. In the words of these people: "We don't want to shoot at our compatriots, but we don't want the Germans to shoot at us either."
But in a battlefield, you can’t help yourself!
On the way to the German attack, Tokov's two sentries were the first to discover the slowly approaching enemy. In the current situation, any crowd that appeared must be the enemy, even if this group of people were wearing Soviet clothes and the helmets on their heads were actually
Really exposed his identity.
The sentry was well hidden. After discovering the enemy's situation, he quickly ran through the forest and reported the enemy's situation to Tokov, who was waiting for work.
"These German devils are really here!?" Tokov asked loudly as he threw away his cigarette butt.
"Yes, company commander, but the first one to appear was the puppet army, the so-called Dongfang Battalion."
Hearing this word, Tokov felt quite disappointed. "It turned out to be the Eastern Battalion. This group of people were once like us. They were captured in battle and then abandoned their principles and became accomplices of the enemy. They are traitors to the great motherland."
The soldiers lying next to the company commander could not help but gnashing their teeth when they heard what was said.
"Yes!" the sentry replied: "Behind the puppet troops are the Germans. Their numbers are indeed very large. I am afraid that we alone will face a fierce battle defending this position."
"Oh? Are you scared?" Tokov asked confidently.
"No! Of course I'm not afraid. Even if I die in battle, I will accept it. It's just a pity that we have to fight those scum of the Eastern Battalion first. Before I die, I just want to fight the Germans."
"Forget it! I haven't thought about the whole company dying in battle! If you, a mere combat infantryman, think about continuing to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds in the future, we will all die, but not necessarily today, understand? Send me an order now to inform everyone.
Even, what are our enemies!"
The battle was imminent, and more than a hundred soldiers knew that they would be the first to fight the Dongfang Battalion.
Compared with the German soldiers, the traitors were much more hateful. The soldiers in a rage pulled the bolt fiercely, and the angry bullets were pushed into the barrel of the gun. Originally, there were many soldiers who were nervous about the enemy's 2,000-strong army, but now they were completely
replaced by anger.
Both the machine gunners and the gunners were ready for battle, but Tokov's other order was to stand still.
Therefore, the grenades removed their back covers and placed them at the top of the trench, while the soldiers squatted in the trench holding their guns. Some soldiers acted as grenadiers at this time. They tied five wooden-handled grenades together to make cluster grenades.
A feast of barrage awaits the enemy who is slowly coming to an end.
Only five warriors looked at the forest with cat eyes until they saw some shaking figures.
"Attention, the enemy has appeared! Prepare to fight!" The alarm quickly spread throughout the trenches, and everyone was ready for battle, waiting for the German army to enter the grenade range.
But the Germans couldn't just swarm in with a stupid group of people. Such a dense formation would inevitably encounter enemy machine gun fire.
To make matters worse, the Belarusian battalion at the head of the team arrived at the battlefield first. A large number of corpses were lying on the ground, the broken trees were burning alone, the ground was covered with a layer of burnt carbon, and the air was filled with the smell of responsibility.
It was precisely because of the tension and the pervasive smell of death that many people simply vomited.
The advancing German army did not expect that the battlefield was so bad. The whole army stopped like this, especially the soldiers of the Belarusian battalion. Their German battalion commander Watt did not hesitate to order the whole battalion to lie down. This move also directly caused
The entire army was lying on the ground. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
