A dozen Belarusian battalion soldiers were called to investigate, the light was already dim, the forest was sinking into darkness, and the flames of the battlefield shone on the mass of corpses, and this sense of fear occupied their hearts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this moment, the Germans were also waiting for the results of the reconnaissance of the Vostok battalion. Now Speer and Drach had ordered their troops to stop the pursuit, after all, the night chase was incredible.

Although the dozen or so people trembled, they still had to move on. Nervous hands clenched the barrels of the guns, the bullets had been pressed into the chambers, and they stepped on the corpses of their comrades to touch the position of the Soviet army little by little.

But there's nothing here!

"They look like they're all gone!" One of the soldiers threw his gun to the ground as if he were unloaded, and then sat down on the ground.

They finally settled down, and soon the Germans also learned the results of the reconnaissance.

It was only at this time that Speer had to believe that the enemy he was fighting against was the small group of people who had fled. Now that the men of the Eastern Battalion had already stepped on the Soviet positions, Speer beckoned Drach to find out.

The two officers finally "captured" the place, but it was not glorious at all.

"It's a shame that we have 2,000 people, and we can't beat their position defended by a few people?" Speer asked angrily.

Thinking that he was asking himself, Drach defended: "Maybe the enemy has already withdrawn, this group of people is staying to attract firepower, we do have a mistake in tactics, but it is undeniable that the enemy is very strong in combat." Judging by at least in terms of machine-gun fire, their density of fire is quite high. ”

"Even taller than us!" Speer stomped his foot, "If we also had superior equipment, if I had more general-purpose machine guns and more mortars, we would have won a long time ago." ”

Drach didn't want to complain about anything, he took the initiative to say: "The main forces of the enemy have already run away, and just ran away from their rearguards, what should we do now?" I'm afraid the people of the 722nd Division are coming, and ...... then"

"Let the division commander decide! He also planned to send artillery to blow the enemy into the sky along with the positions, and now the form has completely changed. Speer let out a long sigh and completed the correspondence with the divisional headquarters.

At this moment, Hezman, who was anxiously waiting for the news of the meeting between the front-line troops and the 722nd Division, was pleasantly surprised to find that the telegraph operator had received their communication in plain language.

When Herzman happily put on the headset and held the microphone, all he heard was Speer's melancholy words.

"What?! You actually put down the positions of the Soviets, and a group of people escaped! You tell me now that the enemy guarding the position may be only two companies in size ?! ”

Herzman asked many questions about the strength of the Soviet troops, and although Speer had difficulty ascertaining the exact number of the enemy, he estimated that there were at most two companies.

Speaking of which, Herzman today is already too angry with the poor performance of the troops, and is even thinking about the possibility of his own dismissal. Maybe he will be held accountable and retired, but now he is still a division commander, and his honor as a soldier must be redeemed.

It stands to reason that his 2,000-strong army was dragged for more than four hours by the enemy, perhaps only 200 people, and he actually retreated. He was not angry at all, but incredulous.

Speer continued to ask: "Commander! What do we do now? Allies are coming soon! ”

Herzman, who came to his senses, finally roared again, and in addition to insulting his subordinates for being a group of rice buckets, he still made a resolute decision: "Didn't you bring hounds with you?" The dog's nose is much smarter than yours, so let the hound search for enemies. We must annihilate the enemy! Those Soviets can't be supermen, you stay where you are now, tomorrow tomorrow will be my pursuit! ”

Hearing this order, Speer, who had ended the communication, couldn't help but curse secretly: "This idiot Herzman, you don't care about the lives of the soldiers as the division commander now?!" Do you know how dangerous it is to go deep into the forest? ”

Unfortunately, the order was dead, and he and Drach had no choice but to accept their fate.

Originally, the chief of staff of the division was also persuading Herzman, but this person was angry, and the idea of revenge occupied his brain, and no one could persuade him at the moment.

……

Speer ordered his troops to take an emergency break, and most of the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, lighting fires for their illumination.

Under the light of the fire, the large number of corpses made people even more shocking. The Germans of the 707th Division and the Eastern Battalion soon waited for their friendly forces, and the reinforcements of the 722nd Division spotted the fire in the forest and made a rapid advance towards it.

When these people see piles of corpses piled up like wheat straw, will anyone not be shocked?

The officers and men of the 722nd Division remembered what happened two months ago, when they cleaned up the battlefield where Wolf's regiment was completely wiped out.

"Damn! How do I feel that the air is filled with the smell of death, these Russians really deserve to be killed! Commander Safir sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He went directly to the current commander of the 707th Division, and in front of the reinforcements, Speer couldn't raise his head in shame.

Safir wouldn't say anything bad about his comrades, "Alright, Your Excellency should cheer up." You haven't fought these Russians many times, and you and I know what kind of troops they are. ”

"But you still see our tragedy."

"What if I see it? Don't be depressed now, we're here to help you fight, how about now? The enemy is still surrounded by you? ”

"Nope! They've already run! You're a step too late! ”

Safir was taken aback, he had been ordered to help the friendly forces complete the encirclement of the Soviet army, and now he had obtained such information about the battle situation.

Even more comical, Speer pointed to his large group of sleepy soldiers holding guns wrapped in blankets and leaning against a tree, stomped his feet and pointed to the ground, and asked, "Friend, do you know where this is?" ”

"Where is this?"

"This is the position of the Soviet troops! They have already broken through the encirclement, and our army simply cannot stop the escape of hundreds of people. Their wounded had to be admirable, they fought to the end, and when they found that they would never survive, they would kill themselves by drinking bullets......"

These words were taught by Herzman to Speer, as if the 707th Division had not blocked the enemy's escape route, thus covering up the tragedy of four battalions of troops being beaten by two companies, possibly even fewer Soviet troops.

Safir believed that his 722nd Division was full of veterans, and the tragedy of two months ago was vividly remembered.

But the tide of the battle finally changed, and Safir quickly stopped the friendly army's rhetoric and said: "You wait first, we have been ordered to assist you in strengthening the encirclement, since the enemy has fled, I must report the battle situation and listen to our division commander's next arrangement." ”
