But in the early morning at the end of March, the German army did not take a rest as they traditionally did. 23US.
The fastest update. Of course, marching at night is very bad. If you can't seize the opportunity, the Soviets may really escape, and there will be no way to avenge such revenge.
Speer and Safire ordered their troops to rest until four in the morning. After that, they would eat dry food and drink water, and the whole army would move with their dogs.
That's why both the Soviet and German armies chose to march on the fourth march because it would be dawn soon. As the pursuing German army, they had to make every effort to rest and march.
But Balzen's troops may have been too tired. When the communication with the division headquarters ended, Balzen fell asleep peacefully, and it was actually dawn.
Morning fog fills the forest. March is about to pass, and the temperature will get higher and higher in the coming days. This thick fog makes the forest look more mysterious, and also makes the troops hiding in it safer.
The soldiers were really tired. The sky had already cleared, so the whole army should be marching.
The soldiers who took turns keeping watch were still standing guard at this time. It was already five in the morning. The soldier pushed Balzen, and the commander muttered coquettishly.
"Sir! You must wake up! It's already five o'clock, shouldn't we continue to set off?" After saying this, the soldier was not confused. After all, Balzen's order before going to bed was that he must be woken up at five o'clock.
Balzen finally woke up. He rolled up his sleeves impatiently and looked at his watch. "It's only fifty points, keep sleeping!"
"But! Sir, aren't we in danger now? Have you changed the order now?"
"Keep sleeping and set off at seven in the morning! Look at this heavy fog, we will only get lost in the forest!" After that, Balzen continued to lie down, wrapping himself tightly in the blanket and curling up even more.
Who could refuse such an order? The sentry also wanted to continue sleeping. Since the departure time was later, he would continue sleeping.
In fact, these are all excuses for Balzen. It is impossible to get lost if you get lost. How can you get lost with a military compass in your hand? He is just too tired. All soldiers are equally tired.
Star Tao and Natasha were almost wrapped in a blanket. They were sisters who depended on each other and best friends who hugged each other for warmth.
However, the enemy will not sleep. Lenin's mantra that he yelled countless times during his lifetime will become a reality on this day.
At four in the morning, the sleeping German troops were awakened one after another. Their officers were very resolute, and the soldiers carried out the orders completely without any sloppiness.
Everyone immediately began to eat the black bread and cans they had brought with them, and Speer, as an officer, also drank wine.
The Germans take good care of their military dogs. These combat partners are fed raw meat.
The German army here is preparing to attack, but the Soviet army is completely unaware of the coming danger.
"It's still a bit of a grind. It's already four and a half before your soldiers are ready. Look at my people, they have already been prepared." Safire did not deliberately show off in front of Speer. The soldiers of the 7th Division wanted to retaliate.
Daqiu is very determined in this pursuit.
On the other hand, Speer and Drach's men were still mentally weak. Even worse were their auxiliary troops, the Belarusian and Polish battalions of the Eastern Battalion.
Speer admitted helplessly: "After all, my people went through a big battle yesterday, and the enemy's combat effectiveness was very tenacious. Where did these guys go through this?"
"Even so, we still have to fight and hope that your people will not be held back in the action."
Safire is not an arrogant person, because how can he not know the enemy's combat effectiveness? It is precisely because of the strong combat effectiveness of this Soviet army that even if they only have a few hundred exhausted soldiers left, the pursuing troops must still be absolutely vigilant.
The total strength of the German army is as high as 3,000. Because there is no overall commander, the 7th Division and the 715th Division only work together. The 707th Division is nominally the leader of the pursuit, but Safire does not hesitate to believe that he is the main force. He
We also know that the effect of coordination directly affects the final result. Looking at the soldiers of the 707th Division, a sense of worry comes to mind.
In this way, the German army set off anyway. Their military dogs were in good spirits and were very motivated after eating fresh meat.
The military dogs smelled the strong scent of fur from the clothes taken from the corpses of the Soviet soldiers, and their noses quickly sensed the Soviet army's escape route.
Different from the battle formation of the 84th Division, the German troops were still arranged in columns. Their infantry tactics were relatively backward. Each infantry squad immediately became a ten-man skirmish line after discovering the enemy, and that was it.
When the temperature gradually increased and the sun began to rise, the forest was shrouded in morning fog, visibility plummeted, and the sun shone through the fog. The majority of German soldiers felt as if they were in a mythical world. Some soldiers even touched the Bibles in their pockets.
But in the eyes of the officers, the fog was a disaster. Fortunately, it did not affect the work of the hounds at all. The marching German formation was one thousand meters wide. Speer really couldn't trust his Eastern Battalion auxiliary troops, so he simply and Dra
He personally led the German soldiers at the forefront, which was the resting place of Balzen's troops.
…
The Soviet camp was in a forest, and some sentries were posted at the edge of the forest. Although Balzen was now sound asleep, he ordered that the departure time be delayed by two hours.
The sentries did not dare to neglect their work at all. Because of the morning fog, they were more vigilant than before.
The people who had just finished standing guard had withdrawn, and those who had taken over were eating cans and quietly sensing the movement of the forest.
The morning fog really affected his vision, but after all, it was not a heavy fog that made him blind.
Suddenly, he was in a trance. The unnatural screams of some birds and the thumping of wings directly attracted the attention of the sentry. Not only that, but a very short animal cry suddenly reached his ears, which the sentry knew very well.
, this is simply a dog barking!
"Hey! Barf, there's a dog barking! This is abnormal!" The sentry kicked his companion who had just fallen asleep.
How can you not pay attention to the mysterious barking of a dog?
Two sentries were waiting for a ZB6, a weapon captured yesterday that the Soviet army would also use. The two men maintained a high degree of vigilance, pointing their guns at the approximate location where the dog barking came from.
Gradually, through the plain between the two forests, they saw some unusually shaking shadows appearing on the edge of the forest opposite. It seemed like a group of monsters and monsters had emerged from the forest. Their instinct told the sentry that this was definitely not a monster.
The humanoid shadow that can appear now can only be one enemy!
"Damn it! These Germans are really chasing after them. Sasha, please go back and report the news!"
"how about you?"
"You don't have to worry about me! The enemy is coming. If we act too late, it will be a disaster!" The sentry named Buff resolutely pushed his companion away and loaded the bullet neatly.
The one shaking must be the enemy, so he opened fire decisively!
The sudden gunshots frightened all the birds in the forest, and the resting Soviet soldiers also suddenly woke up! Although Balzen was very tired, the gunfire was like a stimulant, making him stand up in a second.
"Damn Germans, you're actually chasing us? Get ready for the whole army!" After shouting, Balzen directly raised his submachine gun and fired it into the sky. Compared to roaring, there is nothing more reliable than the sound of gunfire.
Yes.
Before going to bed, everyone had checked their weapons and equipment, and because everyone was sleeping with their clothes on, it only took a few seconds to change from resting to preparing for battle. The same was true for Carambola and Natasha, both of whom were instinctive
Half-kneeling, he held the rifle and instinctively pointed it in all directions.
It was not until the sentry hurried back to report the situation to Balzen that new orders were issued.
The soldiers all know their situation now. The enemy is pursuing them. The enemy's situation is unclear. Everyone retreats immediately. (To be continued...)
