A German motorized division was ordered to attack the front of the 284th Guards Division, and they were given a death order to hold the dangerous Soviet army at all costs until the Panzer Division was victorious in the north.

A large number of German soldiers, under the cover of half-track armored vehicles, maintained a skirmish formation and moved towards the Soviet troops.

At the same time, the German air force also participated in the attack, and they were very bold, and Henschel bombers directly bombed the Soviet positions.

When the air raid happened, Yang Mingzhi's first thought was his wife, followed by his own soldiers.

"Everybody go into the hole and leave it to fate!" After saying this, the couple hid in the trenches.

The actions of the German bombers could not be unscrupulous, and after their appearance Soviet fighters rose into the air. An air battle took place in the sky, with Soviet fighters intercepting German bomber groups. German fighters immediately engaged the Soviets, and as a result, some German planes were shot down and damaged.

The Soviet troops on the ground were still enduring the bombardment of the German army, and two 500-kilogram bombs even blew up a huge crater up to six meters deep. The huge shaking smashed down a lot of the infantry caves in the trenches, and Yang Mingzhi felt as if he was going to be buried alive. After the shock, he quickly arched outward, and finally hugged his wife out of the predicament.

The German bombing was only for a while, but because of the large number of aerial bombs, the Soviet troops suffered very heavy losses, and a large number of recruits and militias organized by the citizens did not know how to save their lives, and all of them died.

Yang Mingzhi saw that his fighters also suffered serious casualties, and one of the anti-tank gun positions was completely destroyed, and the soldiers simply disappeared from the world.

"How many are still alive, comrades? Shout out if you're not dead yet! ”

"Yes!" A fighter staggered out of the dirt: "Corporal Nikolaev reports. ”

Yang Mingzhi looked at this one with a wry smile, and at the same time, many fighters said that they could still fight.

The German artillery preparations had passed, the surviving fighters moved into battle positions, and some soldiers used the crater as a new position.

The Germans were advancing, the machine guns of armored vehicles were spewing tongues of fire, and a small number of tanks were firing. Therefore, the positions of the 284th Division were still bombed one after another.

Yang Mingzhi held the binoculars, and his wife followed him. His wife was very obedient and followed, which made him feel at ease.

About 700 meters away, Yang Mingzhi locked onto the enemy. "Soldier, our target, that tank three. Armor-piercing shell loading, three cannon salvos! ”

This anti-tank gun position has an extremely powerful 57 mm anti-aircraft gun, which can easily penetrate the armor of German tanks from a distance of a thousand meters. Now Yang Mingzhi is very sober, the German army is mainly the No. 3 tank, and its armor is relatively thin.

Soldiers skillfully operated, and like other anti-tank positions, the destruction of enemy armored targets at a distance was preferred.

"Battalion commander! The shell status is complete. ”

Yang Mingzhi made sure again, and ordered loudly: "Ah Guo Nie! ”

Three shots were fired in unison, and three projectiles hit the No. 3 with precision, followed by a violent explosion.

"Well done soldier, the enemy we fought has been martyred!" Yang Mingzhi said excitedly.

The same thing was playing out, in an open area, unless the Germans sent a large number of tank clusters to break through the Soviet formation. Besides, this German army was completely in a state of single penetration, they were too far away from the main force, and von Kluger's troops were still pursuing and trying to annihilate most of the retreating Soviet troops.

Von Fonck and Kuhn had separated from Hort's Panzer Group early, and now that Hort's main force had already left Vilnius to storm Minsk, he ordered the 20th Motorized Division, under von Fonk's command, to achieve a tactical victory in the western part of the city of Minsk.

Therefore, now the 284th Guards Division is facing the 20th Motorized Division.

The stubborn resistance of the Soviet troops did not crush the enemy, and the Germans continued to advance.

"Battalion commander, the enemy has advanced to five hundred meters." The soldier reminded.

"Keep firing, I'll take a look at the anti-tank position to your right."

Yang Mingzhi had just changed positions, and that position was attacked just now. Enemy shells exploded in front of the position, but the Soviet soldiers were still skillfully reloading.

Bullets flew above the position, and the enemy, although they did not have a large number of tanks, now their half-track armored vehicles served as equipment for the "pig assault", and at a faster speed.

Pugachev kept a close eye on the progress of the battle, and the enemy continued to advance, because of the lack of anti-tank weapons, the enemy seemed to be unable to stop it.

Yang Mingzhi cat's head, the enemy infantry is advancing, and he doesn't care so much just to expose Bobosha to the position, and then the aimless blind snake, at least do some fire suppression, even if he forgets that the range of this thing is a little enough.

He is not like an old soldier, many recruits only know how to lie on their stomachs in one place, repeating the matter of pulling the bolt to aim and shooting. In this way, it is easy to be named by the enemy's machine guns, and whenever it is swept by the German MG34, it must be eye-catching (the rate of fire is perverted fast, and the German soldiers have to fire continuously in short bursts, and still often fire more than ten rounds).

"Xiao Tao, you just squat in the trench and help our comrades-in-arms bandage, don't try to poke your head out." Yang Mingzhi ordered.

Carambola also opened the medical kit she carried with her, she checked the wounded soldiers, but it was too bad, most of the soldiers were hit, and there were already a lot of tofu-like things in the trenches.

Disgusting? Afraid? No, the girl had lost her mind and become numb, and she was already able to deal with such a tragic war mechanically, so she just bandaged the seemingly lightly injured warrior.

More fighters fell, and the trenches were already full of corpses.

"Oh no, the enemy is still coming in. Comrades withdraw! Yang Mingzhi gave the order, and the special anti-tank battalion chose to retreat.

As a result, the Cheka Valentina blocked the traffic trench: "No retreat!" I command you to keep fighting! She raised her pistol and threatened the fighters.

"Fuck off! The first line of defense has failed! A soldier yelled.

Valentina fired a warning shot at the sky, but she immediately saw that a large number of soldiers were already retreating through the communication trenches, which she was not stopping at all.

Yang Mingzhi didn't delay any longer, rushed forward with a brisk step, and with the skills he learned before the crossing, he snatched her gun in a daze, and then threw it aside. Then Bobosha's muzzle was pressed to her neck: "Chick, you don't know positional warfare at all. We're not trying to run away. ”

Pugachev had already left a hand, the second line of defense was more than 400 meters away from the first, and the large forces quickly withdrew to the new line of defense to continue the counterattack.

As a result, the Germans appeared to have entered the Soviet positions, with some wounded fighters pulling grenades and dying along with the Germans who burst into the trenches and even deeper, while others feigned death and killed more Germans with submachine guns.

Half-tracked armored vehicles passed through the positions, and at the same time, most of the Soviet troops retreated to the second line of defense. Despite the heavy losses, Pugachev decided to hold on.

After all, Yang Mingzhi had not used RPGs to shoot the German Iron King VIII, and these armored vehicles were lucky enough to step on a large number of mines planted by the Soviet army in the gap between the two positions. Previously, the Sixth Mechanized Corps had passed through positions through the reserved "safe passage", and now the Germans did not know where it was safe.

The Germans, suffering huge losses, continued to advance as they watched the rain of bullets in the military area, and a company that looked like an assault force was storming the division headquarters.

The fighters of the guard company and the special anti-tank battalion were in charge of the guards, and at this moment Yang Mingzhi ordered the fighters to collectively take out grenades. "Comrades, count two after ringing, and we will throw it collectively!"

This is a particularly effective tactic found by Tubalu in the fierce battle with the devil, and later when it came to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the grenade tactics were brought into full play.

The order was given, and the Germans, who appeared at the corresponding distance, were attacked by grenades. Because of the slowdown in latency, quite a few grenades exploded in volleys. The assault company of the army was almost completely wiped out.

"It's now, the fighters get up and hit hard!"

Yang Mingzhi has gotten carried away, and he can't take care of his wife next to him. Carambola also wants to fight with a firearm or something like her husband, but the order is absolute, and the hygienist should not come in.

Now that the battle has reached a very critical state, Pugachev made a decisive decision and adopted the most traditional tactics of Lao Maozi.

"Order the troops to take bayonets and assault the whole army!"

The political commissar obeyed the order, and one of them even jumped out of the trench and shouted: "Comrades, take up arms and attack." For Stalin! Ulla! ”

The position was filled with Ula's shouts, and Yang Mingzhi knew that Ula's charge had begun.

"Battalion commander, should we also rush?" The two company commanders asked.

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "Just let the comrades-in-arms get on it, we are still on the previous mission, mainly attacking the enemy's armored vehicles." ”

Now Yang Mingzhi still doesn't want to waste RPGs, and the Maozi who believe in bullets, stupid bayonets, and heroes are fighting with the German army. If used rashly, it would hurt friendly troops, so he ordered the anti-tank gun to open fire.

This weapon concept with huge recoil would turn into an anti-materiel rifle after the war, and it would now be well used by thick-skinned Soviet soldiers. Yang Mingzhi loved and hated this weapon, and the huge recoil could almost destroy his collarbone.

Anti-tank guns fired one after another, the bullets easily penetrated the shields of the machine guns on the top of the German armored vehicles, and the German shooters were also cut off their heads.

Yang Mingzhi was a spectator, everything was as expected, in a hand-to-hand battle. The Germans were still able to calmly put two rounds of fire, and many Soviet soldiers who rushed out of the position were shot. And then came the Soviets, with the Mosin Nagant with a military spur becoming a short spear, and many simply picking up a dagger or a sapper shovel.

It stands to reason that the Germans were not necessarily worse than the Soviets in hand-to-hand combat, but they still did not expect the Soviets to play this hand. Either you're stupid or you're crazy.

The German soldiers had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Soviets before they could put on their bayonets, and a large number of German soldiers were stabbed to death.

The madness of the Soviet army finally triggered the collapse of the 20th Motorized Division, which had already suffered huge losses.

Most of the Soviet troops, including the militia of the citizens' organizations, were charging. The German tanks were also submerged in this vast sea, and even though the enemy's machine guns were firing fiercely, the soldiers still went forward one after another.

Many of these soldiers performed a great act of heroism -- carrying cluster anti-tank grenades and perishing along with enemy tanks.

As for Yang Mingzhi's troops, they are responsible for remote assistance. The assault fighters found that more and more enemy armored vehicles in front of them had been hit, and the machine-gun turret, which had just been firing, had been muted.

With a huge setback, the German division commander ordered a retreat. This unit is the team that participated in the annihilation of the 14th Panzer Division, and they are really very tenacious. The 20th Motorized Division was fighting the Soviets, and despite the huge losses, the Soviets' formation had been broken.

Because to the north of the 284th Guards Division of the Soviet Army, von Funk won a tactical victory, Pugachev was horrified to see that it was just a swift assault, and the positions of the friendly forces had collapsed. The enemy is rushing towards Minsk, where there is practically no defense!

For this reason, Hort's large forces found a new place to attack, and instead of fighting with the bunker complex north of Minsk, they turned around the whole armored group.

Pugachev suddenly realized that he was facing a onslaught of not just Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, but the entire Hote army.

The army was able to crush the Germans in front of them and force them to retreat, but they could not withstand the onslaught of the enemy's heavy group.

He hurried into the trenches, and just now he had ordered his troops to retreat. Now he asked Yang Mingzhi: "We are now facing a major test, our infantry division is not able to cope with the entire German armored group. What are we going to do? ”

Yang Mingzhi wondered: "You are the division commander in this matter." You give orders! ”

"Don't be modest! Our forces will soon be annihilated. What are we going to do? Do you just carry out the order and die here? “

"Nope! Never think like that. Yang Mingzhi's mind spun quickly, "Let's just attack with the whole army!" Since the Germans were going to organize a huge encirclement network, we took a different approach and broke through from the front. ”

Pugachev also felt that Berekov had something to say, but he didn't expect such a breakthrough mode. But soon he found himself out of control, and the soldiers and his own armored vehicles tried to simply annihilate the Germans, and the order to get them back was not well executed.

As a division commander, he will be wrong. "Okay, Berekov will listen to you, we will break through head-on. I have contacted the 6th Mechanized Corps and asked them to move closer to us, at least to defeat the Germans, and plan for the future. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, and ordered his soldiers to take the truck of the division and head west.

Now he doesn't know what the future path will be, in short, he is unscathed, his wife is unscathed, and the special anti-tank battalion has lost thirty percent of its strength, but the essence is still there. Now that a new battle is calling, the next battle is crucial in order to continue to fight alive.
