Chapter 667: Running Wild in the Fog
Touching her groggy head, star fruit was extremely depressed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I've always been a supporter of the fight, and now we're just sober up and we have to flee? How could the Germans be so terrible? ”
"yes, I think so, too! Obviously, they will die as many as they come, and it is not very good for us to defend on the spot and wait for work. Natasha rubbed her head in agreement.
The girls complained involuntarily, but Igor reminded them again: "This is Balzen's order, you better carry it out." ”
"But we're just fleeing, we're fleeing." Carambola raised her little head, pouted, and complained.
This cute is like Lori, Igor coaxed deeply: "Forget it, Besika, I know you were woken up and angry, and now you have to vent all your anger on the enemy." You see everybody's withdrawn, and we have to follow. ”
Star fruit and Natasha didn't have much equipment to carry, just guns and ammunition, a water bottle hanging from their waists, and a strap. The blanket was quickly rolled up and tied up by Igor, and he carried it easily on his shoulder.
Compared to other units, this Soviet army reacted very quickly.
Balzen clearly heard that the scouts he had placed on the periphery were firing, and they could shoot continuously, so that the enemy had a lot of troops!
The whole army began to retreat in the direction of the ruins of Homnich, with the most trained fighters deployed on the outside, the children of the junior battalion, and all the wounded on the inside.
Seriously wounded died overnight, and their bodies had no choice but to abandon them on the spot.
Only from the point of view of escaping, it is most efficient to escape by abandoning all the seriously wounded, but Balzen and other officers are not cold-blooded people. The presence of the wounded slowed down the march, and it was understandable to march slowly when it was absolutely safe. However, the current enemy situation is unknown, and the whole army must accelerate its advance as much as possible.
The Soviet soldiers were retreating as fast as they could, and the gunfire was still not far away.
……
Speer and Drach's troops marched through the fog, and at last they emerged from a forest and stepped into a clearing where the two forests met. The hounds were still barking, and it was clear that the Russians were still in the forefront.
The fog was not thick, and the two men who had ordered them to leave the forest separately. Similarly, there were the officers and men of Safir's 722nd Division, more than 3,000 people still lined up in a marching column, swaggering forward in the fog.
"I haven't found anything until now, those Russians are just a bunch of rabbits! Only our hound is still calling, and I'm afraid it's the only one who knows when we're going to chase it. After some grumbling, Speer pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit them for himself, and threw one to his fellow Drach.
He didn't feel any danger, and the reason was simple, he and the vast number of officers and soldiers could only see a very vague shadow of another forest in front of him, and nothing else.
It was at this time that the sound of gunfire suddenly remembered, and the sound of bullets piercing the air echoed in people's ears.
Almost instinctively, Speer threw himself on the ground, and only then did he take a cigarette in his mouth and drop it aside.
"It's an enemy attack! The enemy is ahead, everyone is attacking! ”
He didn't even think about giving this order, and so did Drach. But looking at the movements of their soldiers, it was obvious that they had no intention of charging, and they were just lying on the ground one by one, shooting at the forest in front of them.
Drach rolled over, straightened his steel helmet, and said with a slight tremble: "The enemy is ahead, and it is really difficult to fight in the fog." Look at my soldiers, they must have been scared by the previous battle! ”
"Yes! I know! The fog was so thick that even the flames of the enemy's guns were hidden, and only bullets were flying! ”
Speer couldn't help but hammer to the ground: "I wish my soldiers could be brave!" It's a pity that this is too much to force them! ”
"They're still heroic a lot of the time." Drach retorted, "A blind attack is to send us to death, not to mention that the fog is serious now, and the devil knows what is in the forest ahead, maybe the Soviets have already set up a lot of machine guns, and we will die blindly by charging blindly." If you want me to say, it's good that the brothers instinctively don't charge, and soon someone will attack tentatively! ”
When Speer heard this, he immediately thought of that person. He turned his head, and saw that a large group of people had indeed begun to charge with a whining voice.
That's the guys of the 722 division, two infantry battalions and an Estonian battalion. Led by Commander Safir, the warriors led their bayonet rifles and hounds as they galloped towards the forest.
……
"My God, these people are crazy!" The machine gunner Raff held the ZB26 and fired wildly, magazine after magazine. There are two more sentries like him, both of whom are shooting at the attacking enemy.
It's a pity how much can three light machine guns achieve? If the air is clear and the visibility is high, the ZB26's point fire can call the enemy one by one, but now it really can't play an advantage. What's more, the barrel must be replaced after enough time, and the bullet even has the risk of exploding after overheating.
Unwilling to take any more risks, he ran away with his machine gun in hand. This was not an abandonment of his position, for he knew that the large forces must have withdrawn by now.
It's just a pity that Baff still ran a step late, and the bullet that didn't have a long eye hit him in the back mercilessly.
The Germans also did not aim exactly, and the bullets fired in the direction where the gunfire came. Unlucky, Barf was shot and closed his eyes forever......
The three groups of sentinel positions all fell, and only five people couldn't stop the pig rush of more than 1,000 people.
The Germans were really unusual, Safir and his comrades were eager for revenge, and the pig in the fog ran nearly a kilometer away, and more than 30 people were knocked down, but they still managed to reach the forest where the Soviet troops were hiding.
Unfortunately, they did not find out what Soviet positions existed here.
"Hell! I thought I could win with a surprise attack, but I ended up killing a few people?! Safir, who was very unhappy, had nowhere to vent, and it happened that at this time he saw the group of guys lying on the ground, and they actually got up one by two.
Already angry, he stomped his feet and raged, even his soldiers. "Those cowards of the 707th Division, the greatest merit they have made since they became an army is nothing more than killing more than 10,000 ordinary peasants, and they are really like mice and cats in a real war!"
His adjutant saw that the commander was angry, and asked weakly: "Safir, what are we doing now?" ”
"Keep going, of course we may be killing the sentinels, their camp must be in this forest, even if they run away, they won't be able to get far! Buffalo, you take your battalion on the left flank, and the battalion in the center, and Hendrik's Estonian battalion on the right flank. ”
Safir gave an account of the task, and he ignored the slow men of the 707th Division, and led his army of 1,800 men to continue to advance alone.
