Chapter 378: The pilots retreat into the forest
The violent explosion woke everyone up, and many soldiers were awakened and immediately encountered a new round of blows by the Soviet army, and many German soldiers were killed and injured in the explosion without preparation, and the screams were endless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The broad masses of workers, they are not soldiers after all. When the enemy attack took place, they and their families were overwhelmed, and when several Soviet soldiers burst into the workers' camp, the entire workers' dormitory was thrown into chaos under an indiscriminate attack.
Among them were Ukrainians and White Russians, who worked for the Germans almost just to get paid, and now that disaster was imminent, they naturally scattered in all directions.
The Soviets attacked at night, and it was impossible for the workers to follow the Germans to defend the barracks. Besides, even if there is to be a war, it has to be daytime. It's better to run for your life in the dark.
Therefore, the armed forces that Germany could have mobilized were as many as 1,000 men, and the flight of the workers led to a sharp reduction in the number of troops capable of fighting. To make matters worse, the German army's spare ammunition is in the arsenal! Some ran out of the dormitory, with only a small amount of ammunition for their Mauser rifles. Since the enemy is attacking at night, you must replenish your ammunition in order to continue the fight with the enemy.
More than 100 German soldiers, some of them wearing white shirts in a panic, did not care whether it was cold or not, and could only save their lives by replenishing ammunition and continuing to fight.
As a result, these soldiers who ran wildly were directly met with machine-gun fire from the munitions warehouse!
"Bastard, could it be that the Soviets have already taken the warehouse?!" A company commander panicked.
His company is currently understaffed, and each soldier carries only half a base of ammunition, or thirty rounds. Because it was night, the soldiers put the ammunition back in the warehouse in order to avoid misfire. Unexpectedly, this move caused the current predicament.
The five warrior overlord warehouses fired wildly with captured general-purpose machine guns. There is a lot of spare ammunition here, and as for the problem of overheating the muzzle, the barrel can be heated and directly replaced with a new machine gun. The overheated guns are directly cooled by the snow, so these five people are like Rambo, the two firing points have been flying ammunition, green light bullets, and the shooting effect is like a laser.
Many Germans were knocked down like mowing grass, and the rest were honestly nailed to the ground.
Those who fought in a panic, who were only wearing shirts, were now suffering. They cling to the snow and are exposed to the cold, and in a short time they can get frostbitten.
The battle was already in full swing, and Balzen led the men straight to the enemy headquarters. Those wooden flagpoles had already been knocked down by the fighters for the first time, and the German flag had fallen. The soldiers rushed into the wooden building, which had only one floor, so the soldiers immediately began to sweep through the rooms one by one.
There are still some staff members left behind, all of whom are civilians, and who are almost defenseless under the guns of the rough soldiers.
The grenade clears the way, followed by submachine gun fire. This kind of firepower is at its most powerful in a confined space, and if the German air captain Koch had stayed here this night, he would have died.
Very lucky, he didn't stay up late because he was tired. He returned to his room in the pilot's quarters and waited anxiously for many days, but the Soviet attackers did not notice the shadow. He was very nervous at first, but as time passed, his anxiety gradually disappeared, maybe the Soviets were not going to attack the airfield at all, and the warning at 715 was wrong.
As a result, the sound of an explosion woke him up, proving that his delusions were delusions after all.
Koch quickly got off the ground, grabbed his coat and put it on himself. With the Luger pistol in his hand loaded, he rushed out of the door and immediately saw the flames of the airport. That's a blast! And the explosions are still happening!
The pilots were armed only with pistols, which were at most for self-defense. These men were all trained in rifles, and when they learned of the enemy attack, they had to rush to the arsenal to get their spears.
However, they collided with some soldiers, and at once with three platoons of fighters led by Balzen.
Submachine guns were indiscriminately strafing, causing a large number of casualties immediately.
Airplanes are not worth much, pilots are worth the most. These eagles of the German Imperial Air Force, even if they were heroic in the air, could not defeat the average infantry when they fell to the ground, not to mention that they only had pistols and limited ammunition.
Koch had already seen that his headquarters was on fire. Even crazier, even the ammunition depot erupted in fierce gunfire, and those drag bullets created a terrifying feeling.
"Captain, what are we going to do?!" One pilot asked.
Keep fighting, right? What weapons are there?! Above the airfield, almost all the planes were on fire, and the enemy also had artillery and was bombing with impunity. A lot of soldiers are fighting, and the density of their weapons is too weak. To make matters worse, several machine-gun pillboxes erected during the day, which were actually firing at friendly troops, apparently had been occupied by the enemy, and the initiator of the shooting was the enemy.
If you hesitate now, it's all over, especially since there are still aerial bombs in the warehouse, and if those are destroyed, a strong explosion can destroy the entire airport.
Koch immediately decided: "Everyone withdraw with me!" All the living retreat into the forest! ”
Pilot Adler was very lucky, his comrades were hit by at least five of them in the encounter in the dormitory area just now. The remaining pilots and ground crews, half of whom were unarmed, now fled with the captain.
Adler was also one of the escapees, and he picked up a rifle left behind by a dead soldier, which was a reliable weapon.
More than a hundred followers fled Koch, and Balzen's three platoons followed him in hot pursuit until their still alive fled into the forest.
Balzen immediately shouted: "Everyone, stop chasing, carry out my orders, and set these buildings on fire as much as possible!" ”
In the pilot's quarters, all those who could escape fled, and the rest were either the dead or the wailing wounded. The Soviet soldiers did not hesitate, and all the wounded soldiers made up for a few shots to end their suffering.
On the other hand, the munitions depot was unexpectedly targeted, because only by capturing it could the German soldiers obtain enough ammunition to fight back. They rushed out of the dormitory several hundred people, and even though more than fifty were knocked down by the machine guns in the warehouse, and two hundred were prostrate on the ground, firing rifles, in order to take advantage of the superiority in numbers.
However, the power of the German "spear" was really huge, with a terrible rate of fire and a large amount of spare ammunition, and only five people occupied the ammunition warehouse, but the firepower was extremely powerful.
Now for these German soldiers, in front were machine guns that constantly spewed tongues of fire, and in the rear were enemy pursuers, whose guns were already firing.
The second platoon used a variety of methods to sabotage the aircraft, and when the explosives package was used up, it served with grenades. Throw it into the cockpit, and the explosion will be enough to destroy various instruments, and that's enough.
A platoon swept the quarters of the workers and servicemen, they created a lot of chaos, and even then the Germans began to counterattack. Of course, the direction of their counterattack was mainly to run wildly in the direction of the warehouse, and due to the superiority of the German forces, after entering the open area, the pursuit of the first platoon was also slowed down.
Until the recoilless guns and mortars of the Soviet army adjusted their direction, and even the captured German RPGs began to wield.
The Germans, crucified to the ground, launched a final attack. But they did not use pig tactics, and Germans with a modicum of common sense would have remembered the brutal trench warfare of World War I. Attacking in a dense formation of flesh and blood is tantamount to becoming a live target for a machine gun.
Therefore, the most clearly formed they immediately adopted the tactics of outflanking, with the superiority of troops, frontal feint fire cover, the main attack on both flanks, and enter through the small door of the warehouse. (To be continued.) )
