The Eastern Battalion following the Black Bear Brigade was led by an officer named Bashoisky, who was of Belarusian ethnicity, and more than 500 soldiers under his command were also of Belarusian ethnicity.
This unit and a squad of German soldiers, with the assistance of an old Belarusian man, easily found the camp where the Black Bear Brigade was hiding.
For no other reason than this, the old man was selling salt to the guerrillas. When the Germans found out about this, they interrogated him. According to regulations, this kind of financing of the guerrillas was enough to be punished by hanging.
But the old man had another purpose. His name was Kavcensky, and he was a landlord during the Tsarist Russia. At that time, he was not shot by the Belarusian Soviets, but his family property was confiscated. Therefore, he has always been opposed to the Soviet Union and red Belarus.
It was true that he was selling salt to the guerrillas. After winning the trust of the guerrillas, he obtained their exact location.
The German army believed his statement and all the crimes were wiped out. In exchange, he would lead the troops to wipe out the "Black Bear Brigade".
At first, the German army was suspicious of this old woodcutter in his fifties. As the German army and the puppet army successfully destroyed the guerrilla camp and discovered their escape traces, the pursuit began.
Especially when attacks in this area broke out intensively, the entire 734th Division went into chaos, searching for guerrillas everywhere, and all combat forces, even the security police in the city, were mobilized.
Now, after a difficult search, they finally discovered the Black Bear Brigade's camp.
Perhaps the overpowering scent of powdered biscuits finally attracted them here. When the puppet soldiers discovered a figure moving in the forest, the more than 500 people who were chasing them immediately became nervous.
They immediately formed a skirmish line and rushed towards the target like a big net.
The vanguard was the first to rush out of the forest, and was not surprised by the sight in front of him.
After all, the retreating people had arrived long in advance, and there were still a lot of valuables that they had not taken away when they hurriedly evacuated. The puppet army knew full well that this was the guerrilla camp, but it was very strange, why didn't anyone leave here?
The river beach was full of bonfires that were still burning. Obviously, those people couldn't care less about escaping!
Seeing that the leading soldiers were not attacked, Bashoisky boldly ordered all personnel to dispatch.
For those guerrillas, this Eastern battalion has never looked down upon. In previous battles, each other suffered casualties. Even if those people's weapons were backward, the bullets were still bullets and they would die after hitting them. Bashoisky
People like him had various reasons for working for the German army, but they had one thing in common - they didn't want to die in confusion.
More and more men in black came out of the forest, holding rifles with bayonets to inspect.
Under this situation, Tokov still decided to stand still. He thought that in this situation, it would be a good idea to avoid fighting the enemy. Unfortunately, the battle still had to be fought!
If all the enemy's troops leave the forest and suddenly attack these unprepared enemies, they will be severely damaged in an instant.
However, as luck would have it, a spider got into the crotch of a soldier from the Black Bear Brigade. This abnormal touch immediately caused a tremor all over the body - his rifle misfired.
It was this gunshot that caused the guys who were checking on the river beach to lie down on the ground reflexively.
Some people who were squatting in front of the stream to wash their faces even fell into the water, holding on to their rifles and using reeds as cover.
"Damn it! Fire for me!"
Tokov realized that the ambush could only be carried out in advance, and the battle could not be delayed any longer.
Suddenly, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and bullets flew across the heads of the lying men.
These people were lying on the river beach, and the only thing that could provide cover was the grass. Unfortunately, they were in the Soviet camp, and the one-foot-high grass had long been flattened.
The sudden attack caused a large number of people to evacuate to the forest, and they retreated while fighting back. In terms of firepower, the Germans and puppet troops were not at all advantageous. They only had three machine guns and their firepower was really weak.
After an overwhelming round of shooting, the guys who were once standing in the Soviet camp abandoned many corpses and fled back. They continued to shoot in the forest, and they had to leave to fate what they could hit.
According to common sense, when encountering strong fire resistance, these puppet troops, who were almost only equipped with rifles, should withdraw and try their best. However, they did not withdraw for no other reason than their officer, Bashoisky, who was very unlucky and thirty-year-old.
Many people were trapped in the stream.
In any case, the stream actually acted as a trench, and bullets flew across their heads. They endured the cold stream water, raised their heads and gritted their teeth, praying that the firepower of the unknown armed men would stop.
The sudden attack lasted for three minutes, and Bashoisky could only yell helplessly: "Is this the Black Bear Brigade? Their firepower is not like this at all! Did we encounter other gangsters?"
The conversation was directed at Kafcensky, who was leading the way. The old man's condition was even worse. During the battle, his left arm was rubbed by a bullet. The flesh injury was not serious, but the blood was bleeding. In addition, the stream was still very cold, and the whole person was
Enduring great pain.
Seeing that the old man was just gritting his teeth and not saying a word, and the enemy who had never been seen was only firing sporadically. If Bashoysky at least continued like this, death would be inevitable. Who wants to die like a coward here?
Stream, a delicious meal of adult fry and crabs?!
When the gunfire subsided a little, he summoned up all his strength and shouted: "Hey! People over there! Are you Black Bear people? Don't put up any resistance, you are already surrounded by us and the Germans!"
Because the fighting distance between the two sides was relatively close, the man's roar could be clearly heard by the people hiding at the edge of the forest.
Tokov was very surprised after hearing this: "Sure enough, these guys are traitors, and they speak Belarusian."
There are certain differences between Russian and Belarusian, and the sound was simply coming from the stream. Tokov knew very well that this was not a water ghost, but an unlucky guy who was trapped in the water and couldn't get out. Even if
How can a person cheat under such conditions?
However, the words "you are surrounded" still caused many people to panic.
Tokov was not in a hurry to answer, but immediately arranged for his men to give all orders, requiring everyone to exercise restraint.
Medvedev obeyed Tokov's request, and after stabilizing his men, he took the initiative to come to his side.
"Comrade Red Army! I know this man's voice. He is lying! He is a famous traitor. I think this man fell into the stream. We will just let him scream and let him freeze to death!"
"Oh? So you know him?!" Tokov was inevitably surprised. As for letting the stream with only a few degrees freeze to death, it was too slow for him. He suggested: "Medvedev, now the main force has received the news that we have encountered the enemy.
The situation is that the elite troops are only four kilometers away from us. Just shout to the officer here and hold him back as much as possible!"
Medvedev instantly understood that this was a plan, and together with the large troops, the enemies that had troubled the Black Bear Brigade for a long time were definitely wiped out, and all the traitors were shot. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Bashoisky roared for a long time, but there were still sporadic shootings. He was very happy that his people did not abandon him and run away, but as long as he was exposed, he could easily be shot!
Finally, his roar was answered, and that voice was all too familiar to him.
"Hey! Bashoisky, you are Belarusians too! Why do you serve the Germans and kill other Belarusians?"
Bashoisky was overjoyed and continued to shout: "Surrender! Medvedev is indeed you! You are already surrounded by us!"
"Really? I think you are surrounded. Come on, friend! We are all Belarusians. You feel uncomfortable lying in the water. Let's stand up and talk!"
"Bah! Am I stupid? If I stand up, I will be shot by you!"
At this moment, Medvedev almost laughed out loud. His old face was like a blooming flower and he said to Tokov: "That idiot is very scared now! So, is it right for me to delay like this?"
"That's right, keep delaying and just nail that guy and his people here!"
