The German army was shelling the high ground, and the big trees were being knocked down. For a moment, the branches flew across the sky, and the machine gunners who were still ambushing there would suffer. 23US.

The only thing he was thankful for now was that the two girls didn't go back there after they withdrew. So where are they now?
Balzen shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to call over Star Tao and Natasha who were looking for a suitable sniper position.
The two girls were ready for battle. They were no different from other warriors. Their faces and arms were covered in ashes, which could not hide the murderous aura and trace of fear in their eyes.
Balzen pointed to the high ground that was still being shelled without hesitation, and shouted at a high volume: "Natasha, can you see it now? If I had just let you go, you might have been injured by now, or even
…”
He did not continue, and Natasha also knew that if she and Yang Guo were still there, they might have been sacrificed.
War is often so sudden, and death often occurs suddenly. Seeing the current situation, Natasha only felt a cold chill running down her back, never thinking that a single thought of hers could cost her her life!
Balzen was not talking nonsense. He ordered: "Natasha, Bessika, you two stay with me now and follow the headquarters at all times. Let's be prepared, the enemy will attack soon!"
…
The German army's six medium-caliber mortars did not have many shell reserves, because the ammunition really relied on people to carry it.
Safire knew that he really only had one chance. After these 80mm caliber artillery shells were used up, he basically said goodbye to heavy weapons. What was left were some 50mm micro mortars with the power of grenades.
Although the range is 800 meters, the accuracy is very poor, and the effect it can achieve is only a drop in the bucket.
Soon, six mortars fired one after another. One wooden box only contained four artillery shells, and the ammunition boxes were all empty. After the artillerymen reported the situation, they waited for the next order.
"The time to attack has finally arrived. It's time to end things with you!" Safire dropped the cigarette held between his fingers and stepped on it a few more times.
He decisively ordered the people of the Eastern Battalion to start taking action. At this time, the German Eastern Volunteers composed of three ethnic groups had to form a huge skirmisher line to leave the hiding forest. Under the orders of the German army, these more than a thousand people started shouting loudly.
Run wildly.
Just behind them, the German machine gunners covering the fire started shooting wildly.
People in the Dongfang Battalion also knew that this firepower was not only used to suppress the Soviet army, but could also be used as a weapon to kill themselves at any time as long as they retreated. Everything seemed to be back to World War I. The supervising team and the enemy set up machine guns and were trapped in the
The warrior in the middle really has only one way to survive, and that is to attack!
Therefore, Safire and Speer saw an unexpected scene. These guys wearing earth-colored cotton-padded clothes and M6 helmets were simply on stimulants!
"To make soldiers braver, taking that medicine is a good way. Obviously these guys just don't want to die. The more they are afraid of death, the more they want to live. This is not a feint attack, it is simply a violent attack!" Even if they are facing each other!
Safire, who these people looked down upon, had to admire him now.
Speer paused and said, "Look, our soldiers will not lose to those Eastern volunteers. Safire, let's attack too."
"OK!"
As Safir gave the order, a green incendiary bomb took off.
…
At this moment, Balzen had ordered the entire army to shoot at the enemies who were charging crazily. For a moment, the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the camp.
Carambola and Natasha no longer cared about the terrifying sound of gunfire, let alone whether their hearing would be affected. Like Balzen, they both held their rifles tightly and started shooting at the enemy.
The ruthless bullets took away the lives of many people, and the attacking Dongfang Battalion quickly suffered huge losses. Even so, their charging speed remained unabated.
During this period, some people were indeed afraid of the Soviet army's precise firepower and involuntarily dropped their guns and retreated. This behavior also inspired many people.
This behavior cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Germans!
"The troops are not allowed to retreat. Those who retreat without permission will be executed immediately!" An officer shouted loudly, but unfortunately the sound was quickly drowned out by the gunfire.
The bullets from behind pierced through the people trying to retreat crazily, and they fell dead one after another.
It turns out that it is true that if you retreat, you will be killed! People behind bars have completely given up the idea of retreating. At this time, some people will think about whether it is a wise choice to join the German army and help the Germans fight in order to survive.
But for many people, they don't need to think about it anymore because death has already arrived.
Due to the strong firepower of the Soviet army, the Eastern Battalion, which had no heavy weapons or tank cover, encountered a strong blockage. They had to slow down their actions, even crawling on the ground and shooting at the Soviet army.
Balzen always felt that thanks to a group of veterans, he still had a huge advantage. Until an incendiary bomb suddenly appeared in the sky, he realized that something big was going to happen.
On the other side of the forest opposite, a large group of black shadows suddenly appeared. They appeared very suddenly, and they were obviously running towards the same place.
"No, these people are real Germans. They are actually attacking the high ground!?" Balzen was surprised and threw the telescope directly. Excited, he ran directly to the telegraph operator Misha and pulled the young man's clothes.
He roared extremely ferociously: "Contact me Yevgeny and let his people go to the high ground. The enemy must be sheltered by me! Stay at any cost!"
The fact is that almost all the machine gunners assigned to the high ground by the Soviet army during the previous shelling were killed. Only one group endured the pain of their limbs and continued to operate an MG4 to shoot at the attacking German troops.
Unfortunately, if this was a water-cooled Maxim, its superior firepower sustainability might have forced the Germans to slow down their attack angle.
This MG4 was fired hard because the barrel overheated and the bullets jammed. After the Germans realized that the enemy's defensive firepower was greatly reduced, they charged even harder.
Some soldiers in the German army smashed the 20-kilogram base on the ground about 500 meters away from the high ground. The caliber mortar was installed in only ten seconds. The one carrying the ammunition
The soldier lay down next to the mortar like a tiger, and a large mortar position was established.
It only took seven or eight minutes for the heavily armed German troops to charge across a kilometer of the wilderness. During this short period of time, Yevgeny was already executing Balzen's new instructions, and a company of soldiers rushed towards the high ground carrying machine guns.
Nikolayevsky was the company commander who led the youth battalion into the army camp, and his company shouldered the important task of blocking the enemy.
Unfortunately, as soon as the company started to block the attack after arriving at the high ground, the German army's dense mortars came over.
The explosion of a large number of shells was not as powerful as the previous ones, and the frequency of explosions was too high.
From the perspective of the German army, each group was pouring out firepower as quickly as possible because the order they received was that this attack must consume a large amount of ammunition at all costs!
Each gun can fire a shell in almost four seconds, and a dozen 50mm "tubes" immediately caused a large number of casualties to Nikolayevsky.
Even so, the Soviet soldiers continued to block the attack without moving, and the injured soldiers continued to shoot until the blood was gone.
At this time, Balzen finally felt the sense of fear. He looked to his right with great horror, where the Germans were being attacked by the black crowd! Suddenly, the Germans' intentions seemed to be very clear.
He continued to drag Misha and shouted: "Contact me to the high ground! Order them..."
Before Balzen finished speaking, Misha handed over the headset and walkie-talkie. "Sir, this is a call from the highland defenders!"
Balzen took the equipment and after confirming his identity, he only heard the extremely pessimistic cry of a company commander under Yevgeny: "Sir! The enemy has too many troops! We are simply invincible!"
"We must endure it even if we cannot defeat them. If they occupy the high ground, they can surround us!" Balzen roared at the top of his lungs.
Over there, Balzen heard a lament.
"Okay, sir! I will shed my last drop of blood for my motherland!"
Nikolaevsky, like thousands of soldiers who died in the Soviet Patriotic War, met his fate.
Safire and Speer saw that the troops had begun to ascend the high ground, and the operation to seize the high ground was obviously about to succeed.
With this initial success, the subsequent condescending attack on the Soviet army, and the dispatch of superior forces to their rear for a tactical encirclement, the end of this group of Soviets was finally coming. (To be continued...)
