It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the German transport convoy was moving slowly. The poor road conditions made them not move very fast. Many German soldiers simply walked. They accompanied the trucks and carriages to act as a warning.
Yang Mingzhi already knew the situation of this convoy. They were certainly hauling a large amount of cargo. What exactly was it? It was probably food and ammunition, both of which were consumed by the enemy on the front lines.
The convoy was heading towards the Soviet ambush circle, and they were completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Yang Mingzhi did not order his men to cut down trees as roadblocks or anything like that. He needed to catch the enemy by surprise and attack them suddenly while they were marching.
In this way, the convoy has walked out of the corner of the road. Yang Mingzhi held his breath and saw the first truck.
"Soldiers around me, hold still." Yang Mingzhi turned his head and gestured to the mortar soldiers. Those men were ready for battle, and the gunners had already taken out the shells.
The battle will begin immediately. He patted his wife beside him on the back. "Xiao Tao, Natasha, follow my order and fire soon."
The air seemed to be filled with murderous intent. Lawrence, the commander of the German convoy, saw that this area was somewhat open, with a patch of grass leading to the woods. Is there any danger here? Impossible. If there were any stragglers from the enemy, they would have attacked them long ago.
Lawrence shook his head and asked the driver beside him to pass through this area quickly.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of a gunshot, which was Yang Mingzhi's order to launch an attack.
In an instant, the Soviet soldiers lying in ambush in the grass yanked the hemp rope, and twenty cluster grenades exploded. Yang Mingzhi ordered them to bundle ten grenades together, explode one of them, and the others exploded one after another.
Suddenly, huge serial explosions occurred around the German convoy. Some grenades were blown into the sky and exploded in the air.
Many of these grenades were made by Blacksmith Village and were filled with black powder. The power was naturally not as powerful as TNT, but the dense explosion was enough to injure a bunch of people and render them incapable of fighting.
Of course, this is just the beginning. The thirty brave men who ambush each have to throw out all the grenades they carry. These were captured from the Germans, and one hundred and twenty were thrown out in one minute.
Another series of explosions.
For the German soldiers, this was simply a disaster. Most of them still carried their rifles on their shoulders. Suddenly there was a series of explosions, killing many people. After the horses in the carriage were injured, some fainted on the spot, and some were seriously frightened.
, the horses kept shouting and began to run rampant.
The scene was very chaotic, and then there were grenades all over the sky.
There was a lot of smoke after using the weapon with black powder charge, and the road was in chaos. In this way, Yang Mingzhi continued to order the mortar crew to take action.
Ten light mortars were fired one after another. At the same time, Yang Mingzhi also noticed that rockets were being fired from the forest on the opposite side of the road.
"Great! It seems that the secret weapon can participate in actual combat!" Yang Mingzhi was very happy, and the monkey version of the rocket launcher he requested to develop also participated in the battle.
This kind of weapon requires brave soldiers to light the fuse behind the rocket butt. Its warhead is basically modified from a mortar. It is a small flat-firing grenade with little power and poor accuracy. It attacks
The large target was very good, but if Yang Mingzhi knew that the convoy was transporting a bunch of heavy artillery shells, he might not have ordered such a fierce attack. After all, if the shells exploded, he and the soldiers would probably go to heaven.
After the mortar bombing, Yang Mingzhi noticed a lot of powder flying. It must be flour, and a trace of regret suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Damn it, your bombings were too accurate." Yang Mingzhi turned to look at the artillerymen in an angry and funny tone, "Pull back the flour and we can eat bread until next spring, but now it's all over."
"Come on!" Jelentina said regretfully, "It is impossible for the Germans to send food and ammunition to us for free. To take away their supplies, they must take their lives."
Seeing that the time had come, Yang Mingzhi ordered all soldiers to open fire.
Suddenly, there was loud gunfire from the forest on both sides. The German soldiers who had not been killed and stunned finally reacted. They used trucks as cover to shoot at both sides.
Lawrence finally woke up, with blood on his face. At this moment, he saw that the driver Hans beside him was unconscious. The window was blown out, maybe this man was dead.
Lawrence heard a crackling sound, which was the sound of bullets hitting the vehicle. "Hell, these guerrillas are really a bunch of lunatics! If the heavy artillery shells of this vehicle exploded, there would be no grass within a kilometer."
After yelling and cursing, he suddenly felt that he would die soon if he stayed in the car any longer. He pulled out his Ruger pistol, pushed open the slightly deformed door and jumped out. As soon as the man got out of the car, a string of bullets started firing.
There was an explosion under his feet and a huge cloud of dust was thrown up. He cleverly got under the car.
The DP machine gun and the captured MG34 machine gun opened fire one after another. The luxurious firepower made the German army unable to raise their heads. A large number of German soldiers were hit by barrages and were shot one after another.
The German radio operator was carrying a big box and he was yelling. Yang Mingzhi saw that person very keenly and immediately gave the order to the sniper. "Xiao Tao, Natasha, the person carrying the box, kill him."
,quick!"
The order was given, but Natasha was the only one who was shooting calmly. Yang Mingzhi saw that his wife's little hands were trembling a little. He didn't say anything, and put his big hand on her back, which made the girl calm down.
Natasha lived up to her expectations. She was very clever and shot the box on the man's back. As long as the radio was broken, no matter how much she shouted, it was useless. Then, the man was also shot to death randomly.
"Well done Natasha. These people are blind now. We need to end the battle quickly." Yang Mingzhi turned his head and gestured, then raised a red flag.
The two companies on the opposite side saw this order, and the two company commanders shouted loudly: "All soldiers, fix your bayonets and prepare to charge!"
Here at Yang Mingzhi, the soldiers were preparing for the traditional Ula Charge. This gave the militiamen a great shock. The soldiers in the youth camp were very envious of those regular soldiers. Many young soldiers could not restrain their excitement and were ready to move.
"Batalion Commander, do we also have to charge with the large army?" a soldier asked.
Kharkov shook his head: "No, our order is to wait, unless there is an order directly given to us by the deputy division commander. Now, all of you, turn off the safety of your weapons."
"Tch! Coward."
"Hey! Loznikov, what are you talking about?!" Kharkov heard the curse behind him and immediately became angry.
"I mean, are you afraid? Let me tell you, let's take the initiative and catch these Germans off guard!"
"Shut up! Loznikov, follow the order."
However, Yang Mingzhi obviously overestimated the execution ability of this young boy Kharkiv. Many of these boys and girls had a blood feud with the German army. Now that the enemy was being attacked by adults, how could he stand by and watch?
In this way, Yang Mingzhi had no time to care about those children, and Kharkov really couldn't control it. More than 30 people led by Loznikov attacked without authorization. They moved quietly to the east, preparing to block the German army's retreat eastward.
path of.
At the same time, the Germans also began to break through. Lawrence climbed out from under the car. There were more than a hundred people alive in the regular convoy, and the others were dead or injured.
"Those who are still alive, all retreat! The wounded and dead, as well as all ammunition and food, are all gone! All retreat eastward!"
There was a lot of smoke and dust on the battlefield, and Yang Mingzhi didn't see it clearly, but he saw that a group of people suddenly shot out of the east of the ambush.
"It's the boys from the youth camp!" Yelentina shouted in surprise.
"What? Them? What on earth is that Kharkov doing?" Yang Mingzhi was yelling, and he immediately ordered the bayonet charge to be suspended. Then, Kharkov actually ran up to him personally.
Yang Mingzhi knew that the chance of fighting was fleeting, so he pinched the child's collar angrily. "Why did you give the order? Are you letting your people die again?"
"No! I didn't give the order. Loznikov attacked without authorization, and many people followed him."
"You! If that's the case, you can pull out your pistol and kill that man! Now, the whole tactic has been disrupted!" Yang Mingzhi pushed him to the ground violently, "Listen, if that man survives to fight,
After it is over, battlefield discipline will be enforced. And you will also be responsible."
Yang Mingzhi quickly thought about what to do and saw that part of the enemy had broken out of the fog of war. At this moment, two companies of soldiers on the other side of the road had begun to charge.
Originally, everyone should have swarmed up and wiped out the enemy. However, due to Yang Mingzhi's negligence, the enemy had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Lawrence led more than a hundred German soldiers to retreat eastward, but what stood in front of them were more than thirty teenagers.
Loznikov and his men were half-kneeling and fired at the retreating German troops. Unfortunately, there were too few of them.
This group of Germans are eager to escape, and even if they are second-rate troops, the quality of the German troops is still good. How can these underage boys and girls with their passion resist these professional soldiers?
The German submachine guns fired at the young soldiers, and some at the forefront were shot.
When death broke out, only a few people were still shooting, and many simply hid in the grass. Therefore, the performance of the young soldiers in the first battle was like a rabble. Yang Mingzhi watched all this, and this scene was heartbreaking.
"Damn it! You just died in the battle so easily. Is that all you mean? You obviously have to continue to undergo training. This battle was originally meant for you to observe!" In anger, Yang Mingzhi shook his hat: "Order,
Everyone, including all militiamen, charge! We have to save those children!"
He ordered the machine gunner to stop shooting because it was too easy to hurt his own people. Yang Mingzhi was not a cold-blooded person. Any bullet that could kill his own people would be more effective at killing the enemy.
Because of this order, the firepower behind the German army weakened, and the German soldiers quickly launched a counterattack. They retreated while shooting back.
Lawrence ran at the front, holding a pistol and shooting at the Soviet guerrillas who dared to block it.
After one shot, a figure fell on their retreat path. Lawrence saw that the person he shot was a woman, or a child.
Her blue eyes stared blankly at the sky, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. "Could it be these children who attacked me?" Lawrence hesitated, standing nervously on the battlefield.
"Commander, let's go! We can escape!" A soldier pulled Lawrence and ran away.
Escape? You must escape! There are no obstacles in front of you. It is obvious that the Soviet guerrillas are not running fast. He ordered the living people to come in and throw away the extra things. Survival is the most important thing.
Seeing them running further and further away, Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to order the troops to stop chasing. He ordered several soldiers around him: "Take people to see those children who dare to stop the Germans, both alive and dead."
