Two mg1s were ejected, and the powerful rate of fire fired a lot of bullets. Two unlucky guys were pierced by bullets and died on the spot. 23US.
Updated the fastest. The remaining people pulled up their pants without hesitation and stumbled back into the forest in great embarrassment.
The waiting German soldiers finally let out a sigh of relief, and now they are waiting for the order for the entire army to attack.
When he saw these six granaterfer 4 80mm mortars, Saffir's confidence suddenly increased.
He confidently told Speer of the 707th Division: "We generally lack heavy weapons. The current six guns are heavy weapons. Although they are only 80 mm in caliber, they can still bombard us hard. I think what you said
It makes sense, that damn sniper can only hide in the high ground over there. In this way, when our army attacks, the artillery will take the lead in providing fire support."
Speer shrugged and looked at these thick pipes with envy. "Sir, as long as you can interfere with the enemy's sniper mobile gunners' shooting, our army will be under a lot of pressure to attack. You must be planning to make our army breathless next."
Rush over?"
After asking this question, Safir fell silent.
Looking at the landscape here, the Soviet army was hiding in the forest opposite. They could have continued to escape, but it was obvious that they chose to defend on the spot. Is it because they can't run away? Or do they feel that they have a great advantage and can continue to fight?
?
After thinking about it, Speer felt that both guesses were reasonable. Look at the landforms here. There is this damn gap between the two forests. It is not far away, one kilometer. It's just that the Soviet army set up machine guns. The troops
Just a grand charge, what's the difference between all this and a battle?
Safire advocated: "I should have the support of tank troops at this time! Unfortunately, the 715th Division originally had a tank battalion, but it was destroyed by these Soviets! Maybe they are still equipped with rocket weapons, even if
It is difficult to achieve a breakthrough even if tanks are deployed. Now if we want to attack, I am afraid we can only rely on flesh and blood."
"But you think this is not a reason for us not to fight, right?" Speer asked seductively.
A smile appeared at the corner of Safire's mouth: "Since you know everything, why are you asking me? What can I do now? You also know that we are facing the Soviet 84th Guards Division. Some of this group of people are already very
Weary, their firepower situation has just been exposed. According to me, our army may not be able to defeat them in one charge, even if it costs many casualties. But looking back on our previous battles, this is what can make our army suffer such heavy casualties.
Damn the 84th Guards Division of the Soviet Army. Put these tired veterans back, and they will not hesitate to train a large group of unruly people into elite soldiers, and our hard life will only get worse."
"So you mean we will kill them at all costs?"
"That's right. Is there any other way now?" Safire regretted, "If we pay more now, life will be easier in the future. This is the rear of the war, and the Soviets are airdropping into the swamps.
If their strength continues to grow, will the entire southern Belarus be occupied by us, or will it still be dominated by the Soviets?"
"Then what's better? Let's take action." Speer said resolutely. However, he also considered the actual situation of the army, that is, the number of real German officers and soldiers could not achieve an overwhelming advantage. The army was full of
With thousands of Eastern volunteers, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is indeed worrying, but they are still very suitable as targets for attracting firepower.
Based on this situation, the German army quickly began to formulate a combat plan.
They chose to divide their troops into two, with one part attacking head-on and the other part seizing the high ground where the sniper lay.
There is no doubt that the soldiers of the Eastern Battalion played a frontal offensive role. Regardless of whether these Belarusians, Poles, and Estonians were the reason, when they were driven to the battlefield, they really had only one choice if they wanted to survive, and that was to obtain
victory!
If anyone retreats, the German machine gunners deep in the forest will shoot at the retreating soldiers without hesitation.
The main force of the German army will attack the high ground occupied by the Soviet army with the support of mortar firepower, and plan to occupy it as a tactical breakthrough and continue to pour firepower from a high position in order to deliver a thunderous blow to the Soviet army's flank.
This plan seemed very reliable. The Dongfang Battalion fighting in the front was considered a feint attack, and the German troops attacking from the flanks were the main force. However, the victory achieved by this combat method was also based on the heavy losses suffered by the Dongfang Battalion.
Speer couldn't help but raise some questions, because he really had no confidence in the group of Belarusians and Poles under his command.
"The plan is set like this. Even if all those guys die, we can still continue to recruit. You must know that there are many people on the verge of starvation in the prisoner of war camps. If they don't want to die, they can only obey the orders of the Third Reich. In this way, we will not be able to
Worry about cannon fodder. Let the Soviets fight bloody battles with the Soviets, and we will reap the benefits." Safire explained again, and Speer had no choice but to recognize this reality.
It was really hard for the German officers in Dongfang Camp to do this. They actually led a group of cannon fodder to fight!
…
The battlefield fell into a terrifying silence. The sun was high in the sky early. At this moment, a warm wind blew from the south, making the branches rustle. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and the thick smell of blood.
Balzen continued to observe with his telescope. He knew that the German army had not left at all. The battlefield was so quiet. Maybe the enemy was actively preparing to attack?
The majority of soldiers had been hoping that the Germans would attack early and that the long battle between the two armies must come to an end. Everyone relied on the big tree or lay on the ground. In the burst of gunfire just now, several soldiers who went to search for corpses died just like that.
, obviously they brought a lot of laughter to everyone.
The soldiers were nervous for a while, but the other side did not continue to fire.
Gradually, waiting has turned into a kind of boredom, and some soldiers even began to suspect that maybe the enemy had withdrawn first?
That is, when many people were in a trance, a series of muffled sounds were heard in the distance. Then, bursts of cannonballs were heard in the air.
"Damn! They are actually shelling!?" Balzen couldn't help but look at the sky. There seemed to be several black shadows moving at high speed.
He did not choose to dodge, and many people did not instinctively fall to the ground. Instead, they quickly checked their weapons one last time and prepared for battle.
There were only a few girls who immediately lay down on the ground the moment they heard the roar, just holding their ears. The loud noise of the shells exploding made their nervous faces pale.
"Even now, they still don't know how to avoid the shells. The shells are not aimed at us at all!" Natasha glanced at the girls, with a hint of disdain in her heart.
"Okay, Natasha. This should be the enemy's artillery preparation, and their attack is about to begin!" Yang Tao shook his neck and called the sisters, and Igor, who was still playing with bullets, to the front line. (Unfinished)
