As soon as Hendrick issued the order, he got up and ran away with a Ruger pistol in his hand. 23US.

But his appearance was so conspicuous. The entire Estonian battalion wore a German uniform because he was an officer, but the others still wore earth-colored cotton coats.
Natasha, a farsighted girl, saw a guy wearing a German uniform and holding a pistol. In less than a second, she understood that this guy was an officer, so she killed him first.
A bullet spurted out from the barrel of the gun. It spun wildly, cut through the air, and hit Hendrick's neck in a low and flat parabola. The cavity effect actually tore the entire neck.
Hendrick suddenly felt that the world was spinning. He saw the sun, people running, and a figure spitting blood. "Why doesn't this guy have a head? Oh, isn't this me..."
His war is completely over.
…
"Good job! My dear, that guy must be an officer!" Yang Tao roared happily.
Natasha was excited in her heart, but she was not overly happy. In the current situation, there was a group of fearless comrades in the original position who decided to die with the enemy. It was their desperate cover that made it possible for the large army to be born.
Hendrik died suddenly, and the Estonian camp immediately fell into chaos.
Without a commander, where should the other soldiers go? Naturally, they followed their instincts and ran with the officers and soldiers of the two battalions.
Even though the German troops in the forest were still firing machine guns, their behavior soon stopped.
Balzen was shocked to notice that many traitors were still killed by their firepower, but even so, this group of people were still running.
"Really, if you also have this courage, maybe my position will be overrun by you!" Balzen secretly rejoiced. Perhaps because these people betrayed the Soviet army, they felt remorse for the Soviet army? Or maybe they didn't want to surrender to the Soviet army.
The compatriots killed them without mercy? At least they were merciless towards the Germans.
The machine guns misfired one by one, and the men of Dongfang Battalion retreated into the forest.
Balzen was originally worried that these people might be able to resist for a while, but who knew that they would simply run away.
The one-kilometer sprint took the Soviet army seven minutes. Considering that most of the soldiers were tired and it was an offensive operation, the advance was not very fast.
Even so, the Germans failed to seize the opportunity.
Speer on the mountain and Safire, who had already rounded back to the rear of the Soviet army, were shocked to see that these Soviets had actually run away!
"Damn it! Attack me! Stop hiding!" Safir in the forest ordered, and many people followed his instructions and started a new round of charge.
The wounded Soviet soldiers who stayed behind were all carrying a grenade in their arms. If the most critical moment came, they would commit suicide with this grenade. Before that, they would naturally hold the position to prevent them from pursuing the large troops that broke through.
The assault of soldiers of the 707th Division was thwarted again, and Safire was immediately confused. "How is it possible that their remaining troops are so strong?! Or do they still have a lot of troops guarding them?!"
Fighting in the forest, it was difficult to notice that the entire battle situation had changed. Saffir was already organizing a new round of attacks. However, Speer on the high ground noticed the movements of the Soviet troops and the embarrassment of the Eastern Battalion's complete flight.
He quickly ordered: "All mortars, turn around and bomb the Soviets!"
He ordered this, but few of his subordinates carried it out.
The angry Speer raised his gun and pointed it at a mortar team: "I ask you to adjust the elements to bomb me!"
"But! Our artillery shells have been used up under your order!"
This sentence made Speer confused. Looking at the movements of the Soviet army, this group of dirty guys had already begun to enter the forest. "No! We have large-caliber mortars and some
The supplies are stored in the forest! Damn it! There’s still some of our military rations there!”
Speer stamped his feet angrily. On the one hand, he actively mobilized the machine gunners and put the guns on the high ground to shoot at the Soviet troops. On the other hand, he immediately contacted Safire and Drach, whose attack was blocked, via radio.
"What? The Soviets have fled into our forest? Damn it! Why didn't you stop them? How about bombing with mortars!?" Safire complained after learning about the sudden change in the war situation.
"But we've run out of artillery shells! We didn't carry much ammunition to begin with."
"Now is not the time for this at all!" Safire's mind was in a mess. He thought hard and realized that he had made a big mistake. He quickly held the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Speer, you can do it now.
Send your people to take the lead in pursuing them! Your colleague Drach and I have been restrained by the remaining Soviet troops. Only you can take the lead in pursuing those people! They are the main force of the Soviet army!"
"I know! I'm going to do it now."
After finishing the communication, Speer stamped his feet anxiously. What's the matter with the war situation like this! Those guys from the Eastern Battalion were originally sent by their superiors to assist in the battle. Unfortunately, this group of people was not only not a good combat force at the critical moment, but also
On the contrary, it is a time bomb. Once the situation changes, they actually switch sides!
In Speer's mind, the Eastern Battalion had betrayed the Germans, so they were the enemy. He could mobilize only a few hundred troops. Could he really catch up with the Soviets? This encirclement and annihilation battle would almost have failed.
.
"No! If this battle fails, someone will bear the big responsibility! Our 707th Division was seriously injured again in just two days, and the Soviet army was surrounded and annihilated and even let them run away! The division commander might be shot by the Gestapo!"
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Speer was very afraid. If he was defeated this time, as a commander, he would bear the blame. He would either die in front of the battle or die in the military law. In this case, it would be better to chase after him, or die in battle.
It’s worth it too.
Therefore, the German pursuit was really belated!
Balzen's large army had already entered the forest, and the counterattack went extremely smoothly. In his opinion, the troops occupied the German camp without sacrificing a few people.
"Brothers, stop chasing the enemy. They ran away! There are still some cans and bread cubes here. This is their warehouse. Let's take as much as possible! Then follow me and retreat to the southwest!" Balzen ordered, waving his big hand.
road.
Yang Tao knew that these idiots, if they pursued them all the way according to their character, they would not understand the necessity of not pursuing the enemy. Fortunately, Balzen was very wise. Now that the large army escaped, the traitors from the Dongfang Battalion headed north.
Afraid of trying to escape back to where they started.
When the German army faced a large-scale Soviet retreat, it would definitely lead the hounds in pursuit.
In the ears of Yang Tao and Natasha, they still recalled the frequent sound of machine gun fire. They knew that it was the troops who stayed behind and were still exchanging fire with the enemy.
"For us, many people are willing to cover at the cost of sacrifice! Even now they are still firing wildly to block the enemy, they will still have to sacrifice in the end!" Star Tao sighed after taking a breather.
Natasha held her sisters' hands covered with soil and comforted them: "Remember, my dear, they sacrificed for us. So when we are safe, we take good care of ourselves and kill more enemies to avenge them."
Star Tao looked at her sisters resolutely, and the words came to her heart. "Yes, I will. Now let's continue to retreat with Balzen. Maybe we have to make a big detour, and we can still reach the ruins of Homnich today."
"
"When we get there, sir, they should be here. This time, he will lead the team himself!"
Suddenly, Yang Tao saw great hope. She would see her husband soon, and the hardships of these days would eventually come to an end. "Brother! You brought someone to rescue me, and I am finally safe!" pulling Natasha's hand.
With her hands and firearms slung behind her back, she ran with the large army. Star Tao's tears couldn't help but flow out, and her gray-faced head was already covered with tears of excitement. (To be continued...)
