Because the Soviet attack was very sudden and extremely violent, many shells directly hit the Polish camp in the first wave of bombardment, killing many people on the spot.
After all, they are not Germans, nor are they die-hard Nazis in mentality. At best, they cooperate with Germany and simply seek revenge from the Russians. When the attack suddenly occurred, they clearly realized that the enemy who could create such firepower was definitely not them.
Even the Germans cannot defeat them.
The Polish battalion proved their escape speed with their actions. Many people did not have time to put on their black uniforms. Many people just put on their leather shoes, took rifles and a few bullets, and hurriedly ran to the dirt road, running all the way west.
Bondanov tried to pursue them, but the exchange of fire was short-lived. A small number of lone Poles were killed, and the troops did not continue the pursuit.
Fortunately, the pursuit of the troops was successful. They found that the enemy had been beaten to pieces, and they picked up a lot of rifles along the way. Surprisingly, these turned out to be Mosin Nagants!
Yang Mingzhi did not stay on the battlefield any longer. He moved his headquarters back to the forest.
At this time, the work of cleaning up the battlefield has begun.
As the morning fog quickly dissipated, the warm sun shone across the entire forest. Thick smoke was still rising from the battlefield, and the buildings that should be burning were still burning.
The soldiers searched the warehouses affected by the battle, especially the garage where the tanks were originally parked. There were many good things here - ammunition.
The MG34 in the army consumes a lot of bullets in battle. Now there are ready-made, packaged bullets that can be used directly. There are several boxes of them, and there are more than 20 boxes of Mauser rifle bullets. In addition to these, soldiers also discovered Soviet-made bullets.
Although I don't understand why there are several boxes of bullets for the moment, they were quickly divided by the soldiers who found the ammunition and stuffed into their own bullet bags.
After all, no soldier should feel like he has too much ammunition!
Finished bread, canned food, and even bags of flour. Unfortunately, a large amount of food was destroyed during the battle, and the soldiers did not save much in the end.
There were more than a hundred wounded soldiers in the Soviet army. The military doctors did not have good treatment methods, so they had to give everyone a little morphine first. Only Yang Tao could perform emergency surgery. No one could tell how many of the wounded would survive.
What a hope.
In fact, many seriously injured people died quickly after some treatment, and those who survived were those whose limbs were shot.
The warhead must be taken out quickly, otherwise he will definitely die from lead poisoning. Yang Mingzhi didn't want his wife to fall down from exhaustion, but he couldn't watch his soldiers die because they couldn't get treatment.
This is the result of the battle. The reality is different from what he thought. It can be said that the previous attacks were too smooth, and this battle was a bit of a hard nut. Especially the German army actually showed the courage to charge to the death, which shows that this new
The enemy 734th Division should not be underestimated.
In this battle, the combat goal of annihilating the enemies in Bainiu Village has been basically completed. Those puppet traitors can just run away.
As for the goal of rescuing Soviet prisoners of war, this was probably not accomplished well, because the shelling would inevitably have affected the barracks where the prisoners of war were held.
The soldiers were gathering into the forest carrying sacks, which contained various trophies. After a while, a group of ragged people appeared - they were Red Army soldiers who had been captured by the Germans.
Bondanov was very satisfied with this battle. His paratrooper losses were minimal and his captures were huge.
A large number of prisoners of war were walking on the grass. Just judging from their expressions, they were in a great mood. Yes, how could you not be happy after being rescued by your own army?
Bondanov came to Yang Mingzhi and said proudly: "Comrade Commander! My battalion has basically completed its mission. I have rescued at least two thousand people!"
There are more than two thousand people, which is undoubtedly a huge number! After hearing this report, Yang Mingzhi felt quite complicated.
At this moment, he suddenly felt regretful. It would be great if there were fewer people rescued. The number of people in such a regiment would undoubtedly be a huge burden. He quickly gathered at the predetermined location with the people who had evacuated first, and the troops
It will quickly become a huge group with more than 8,000 people!
I have no choice!
Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered: "Bondanov, let these people line up first and distribute the captured bread to them! Then select some people and let them take up arms again and be ready to retreat at any time."
Bondanov carried out the plan decisively. Before this, his people had negotiated with the prisoners of war. The prisoners of war here were ordered to cut down the trees, cut the tall red pine trees into sections, and then take them away by trucks.
Logging is a physical job, so the German army mostly chooses prisoners of war who are physically strong enough. Compared to the SS, the Wehrmacht is more pragmatic. Langemann is responsible for the security of this area and is also responsible for the amount of timber extracted.
To deal with prisoner-of-war labor, whips are needed to drive them away, and food is also needed to satisfy the huge amount of physical exertion.
It can be said that these prisoners of war did not become sickly. One side needed enough wood, and the other side needed to survive. The Soviet Union and Germany reached cooperation. The German army selected a so-called "centurion" for every 100 prisoners of war.
Based on the simple confessions of the prisoners of war, there were 29 "centurions" in total, so it was inferred that there were 29 logging teams here.
After all, prisoners of war were prisoners of war. The Germans provided food at most. As for the treatment of diseases and work-related injuries, their way of dealing with them was to isolate them. Therefore, many prisoners of war still died abnormally.
Yang Mingzhi understood a lot about these situations after a little interrogation.
"These Germans are quite good at management. One hundred people have one leader, which saves me a lot of trouble now."
For the soldiers in the reconnaissance battalion, each of them has a deep hatred for the Germans, and their hatred for the traitors is even worse.
Balzen completely looked down on those who surrendered to the Germans, even if their reasons were very good. The discipline was here. If there were no such regulations, these guys would just shoot them with machine guns. Unfortunately, if he did this, he himself would
Was shot.
Balzen still wanted to vent. He came to Yang Mingzhi and suggested: "Commander! The German army selected agents among the prisoners of war, which made the prisoners of war forget to resist. I think such people are the most hateful, so now
All these agents will be shot!"
Yang Mingzhi was really shocked by his words and rejected it decisively: "Idiot! This will only cause more trouble for me!"
From a humanistic point of view, there is nothing wrong with the "centurion". In these troubled times, no one wants to live, even if it is to live happily. Yang Mingzhi did not explain it this way, but pointed out very pragmatically: "I want to take these people back, they
After screening, the real traitors will be publicly tried, and the others will continue to serve as the Red Army in accordance with regulations. As for the managers selected by the German army, I need them along the way, so that the entire team will not be in chaos!"
"But……"
"You don't need to say it!" Yang Mingzhi rolled his eyes at him, "Barzen, to be an officer, you need to use your brain! You need to understand strategy! If you keep being a reckless man, you can only continue to be a battalion commander!"
After a simple statistics, 24 of the 29 "centurions" survived, and there were more than 200 shelling casualties. The war was cruel. Even when rescuing prisoners of war, the Soviet army could only take with them the healthy ones, and only the injured ones.
