After the thrilling battle in the morning, Balzen led more than 400 people who were still alive and tried their best to rush towards the ruins of Homnich. In fact, they could reach it by walking more than 20 kilometers.
The vast number of soldiers did not feel the joy of escaping, and all of them looked bad.
This battle was not expected at all. In the end, more than a thousand people rushed to attack the position of an infantry division. It is natural that they were fully counterattacked by the German army. Even if the troops were elite, they had been fighting hard for several days, and the logistics
It doesn't exist at all, and the hundreds of people who can still survive can be considered lucky among misfortunes.
Carambola and Natasha, their delicate bodies are exhausted. As girls, they are under greater pressure than adult men.
During the march, Carambola used a dagger to cut off a section of a branch and use it as a crutch. In order to keep up with the hurried pace of the large army, the girl had to grit her teeth and persevere, even though her walking was a little out of shape.
"Bessika! Did you sprain your ankle?" Natasha was worried when she saw her sister limping.
"Oh! I'm afraid the calluses on the soles of my feet are worn out! It's really bad. Every time I walk, I feel like I'm being pricked by needles."
"Then take off your shoes quickly and take a look!" Natasha was immediately nervous. Even though Yang Tao was not happy, she still took action herself. She pulled up the sister's foot that had been complaining about pain, pulled off the shoe, and saw that it was already there.
The cloth stockings where the big toes were exposed were already stained red.
"Damn it! You're still trying to be brave! Your feet are injured! The blood looks like they were just injured!"
Nervous, Natasha had no choice. Her feet were worn out, and the soles of her own feet were covered with calluses and could not be hurt for the time being. Natasha shook her head: "Okay! Bessika, don't leave by yourself now."
.Your tender feet cannot withstand the long march, you have worked hard these days."
Soon, under Natasha's instruction, Igor knelt down beside the two girls and carried the star fruit directly on his back.
"Okay! We have Igor, he is our reliable logistics." After that, Star Tao consciously received two slaps on her butt, but Natasha still had a smile on her face. "Besika,
You are so lucky, it will be more comfortable to have someone carrying you."
"Really? The smell of sweat on Igor's body is really pungent!"
Star Tao is not a cheap person. She knows that Maozi has body odor, which is stronger than the sour smell of sweat! But now she doesn't have to worry about it. Her smell is just as bad even if she hasn't showered for a few days.
You have to endure the pungent smell. If you make Igor angry, you might be thrown down.
Of course, this tall soldier was serious. In addition to carrying himself, he also carried two rifles, as well as some rations and ammunition.
The whole army shuttled through the forest at a speed of five kilometers per hour. Everyone still imagined that they were being chased by the Germans. They had been marching since they escaped from the enemy's encirclement. Since then, they have not encountered even a large wild animal during the march.
When I arrived, there were no more people.
It seems that the road ahead is peaceful, and everyone's worries are gradually relaxing.
Balzen's mood improved a lot. He looked at his watch and it was already 12 noon. If he hadn't fought the German army today, the troops might have arrived at Homnich.
"As agreed, you should have arrived at your destination." After talking to himself, Balzen ordered the telegraph operator Misha, "Dear, try to contact Homnich immediately. We are far away and they don't want to. No need."
Check the battery level and contact me in plain language."
Now that communications were confidential, the telegraph operator openly tried to contact Homnich.
…
On the other hand, the paratrooper battalion led by Yang Mingzhi rushed all the way in trucks. Although the road was tortuous, the whole battalion arrived at the ruins of Homnich earlier than expected.
This is a battlefield. There was originally a city here, but unfortunately it has been blown into the moon's surface!
Seeing such battlefield ruins for the first time, Second Battalion Commander Rechev could only compare it to the moon. He had seen it through an astronomical telescope. The craters on the moon were hit by meteorites, and the craters here were clearly blown up by aerial bombs.
Because only such a bomb can explode a huge crater!
Yang Mingzhi was driving the Jeep, and Reichev was sitting in the co-pilot.
The Chinese Belekov has already adapted to the fact that he can drive. Now facing the ruins of the city that was blown into powder, he really has a thousand words to say.
"Comrade! Stop looking! In order to compete for control of this city, we fought with the Germans last year, and again at the beginning of this year! The Germans are not popular, they can't take it away, and they won't let us take it away.
, just send the air force to bomb this place into this!"
Reichev was stunned for a while after hearing this. He and his soldiers all had the same expression, still looking straight at the ruins. The city was destroyed like this, and the intensity of the war at that time must have been the same as on the front line.
Yang Mingzhi didn't want to talk about the past. Now his mission was to save Balzen and the soldiers, and he had to hold his wife in his arms.
There are only about twenty Soviet troops left in the forest near the ruins of Homnich, and their task is to serve a huge antenna.
A tall red pine was transformed into a signal tower, which is the base station for radio transmission.
The station commander had already received the notice, so several communication soldiers had been waiting on the outskirts of the forest until they saw a group of trucks running towards the communication station on the soft soil.
Yang Mingzhi had already noticed two people waving red flags, and woke up the second battalion commander who was still looking at the ruins of the city in the distance. "Okay! Comrade, our next task is very difficult. If there is no accident, our people have already
We’re back here, and we’ll get down to business next.”
This was the first military mission carried out by the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Brigade. After seeing the ruins, Reichev immediately entered a battle-ready state. The ruins were regarded as the boundary of the areas controlled by the Soviet and German armies. Going further, he might encounter the German army.
!
Yang Mingzhi glanced sideways, but he didn't expect that this guy of similar age to him actually touched the pistol. "Haha! Do you think we are going to fight the Germans? There is no enemy situation now, so you don't need to be nervous!"
Although Yang Mingzhi said this, Reichev still ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, because they were paratroopers, and everyone was taught that once they penetrated into enemy-occupied areas, they must always be prepared to deal with possible enemy attacks at any time.
.
It's a good thing that they were vigilant, but they seemed to be neurotic. When the truck arrived at its destination, the paratroopers got out of the truck in an orderly manner, and each of them nervously raised their guns and aimed in all directions. They were simply afraid of the forest.
Get out of the enemy!
Yang Mingzhi didn't waste any time. He spoke to the signal soldier first, "I really didn't expect that Balzen hasn't come back yet?!"
"Yes, and they have been blocked by the enemy again. We still have not received any new feedback. We tried to contact them but received nothing."
"When was the last time you received communications from them?!" Yang Mingzhi asked.
"It's Ba Zhong. They reported that they were attacked by enemies and got into a fight."
Upon hearing that a fight had begun, Yang Mingzhi continued to ask: "Did they know the strength of the enemy they encountered and their own losses? Did you hear the sound of gunfire?"
The signal corpsmen responded, and the information was not satisfactory. Yang Mingzhi was originally full of hope, and even thought that his wife had been hiding in the forest, resting with Balzen's people, waiting for reinforcements! As a result, all of them were actually out of contact, and Yang Mingzhi's
His face suddenly darkened.
"Okay, I get it. Take us to the communication station quickly. I want to talk to your station commander." After that, Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and shouted to the nervous paratroopers: "Comrades, there are no enemies here.
, follow me into the forest!" (To be continued...)
