Chapter 651: The Germans Don't Trust Them

Because of the liaison with the division headquarters, the Germans who were about to launch the offensive wasted some time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Cliburn left a dozen soldiers as guides for friendly forces, while his troops thought about their positions.

Speer looked at his watch, it was already half past two, the location of the Soviet troops had been marked on the map, and everyone knew that the artillery could not project fire at them at all, and if they wanted to destroy them now, they had to act immediately.

In this battle, the Germans also brought some hunting dogs, and by smelling the dead Soviet corpses, the Germans pursuing Balzen would not get lost at all, and now they could go straight to the Soviet positions with guides.

Although after a series of battles, the new Germans knew that their enemy had suffered heavy casualties, and they did not dare to take it lightly.

The fighters of the Eastern Battalion were at the forefront, and in the event of a war these men would inevitably charge to the front line, their battalion commanders were Germans, and the rest were not.

In terms of emotion, these more than 1,000 "Eastern volunteers" composed of Poles and Belarusians, who fought for the Germans basically to make a living, no one would really be fanatical about the so-called construction of Greater Germany, after all, they were not Germans, and they could not fight hard for them.

Behind him, however, was the heavily armed Germans, considering that the enemy they were about to face was a very combat-ready Soviet army. They were also Soviet soldiers who knew the meaning of the title of Guards, especially the Belarusian battalion in it, and it was really cruel to fight against the same Belarusians.

It was for these reasons that Speer couldn't help but discuss with Drach, who was walking together: "You also saw in the encounter with the friendly forces just now, and the fighting will of the Eastern Battalion is inferior. I suspect that they will also withdraw quickly at the beginning of contact with the enemy. ā€

"It's almost inevitable, after all, this group of people has no faith, they just serve as soldiers and eat food as a means of survival. Even serious mercenaries have their own creed, and these people simply don't have that. ā€

Seeing that Drach still had a disdainful attitude, Cliburn did not deny his words, but instead proposed another possibility.

"You say they have no faith and are the worst mercenaries. But there are a lot of Belarusians among them, and we are now letting these people fight against their national compatriots, who were originally Soviet soldiers who gave us their lives in order to survive, and maybe they will flee into the camp of the Soviets and become partisans! ā€

"It can't be!" Dragher was shocked, "The political commissar of the Soviets shot these traitors, they will definitely die if they flee back." ā€

"Who knows? What if the enemy promises not to kill Belarusians, and even the guilt of surrender is written off? The Poles may be better, but the Belarusians are a potential threat. ā€

Drach couldn't help but gasp, it was said that at least 500 strikers had the possibility of defection. "Maybe you're right, it's better not to happen. Soon we will find out and see if this group of White Russians is really loyal to us. ā€

……

Speer and Drach's suspicions are not unreasonable, it is indeed the Belarusians who are carefully advancing the front at the moment, and this group of people is full of small ninety-nine in their hearts.

First of all, the enemy is a very powerful guard, and secondly, they are all of the same people. In such an environment in the depths, the people in front will already desperately block the attack, and the German troops in the rear will violently urge the battle, how can it be embarrassing to be caught in the middle?

To do this, lives had to be saved in battle, in the words of these people: "We don't want to shoot at our compatriots, but we don't want the Germans to shoot at us either." ā€

But you can't help yourself in the battlefield!

Just as the Germans were on the way to attack, Tokov's two sentinels were the first to spot the slowly approaching enemy. In the current situation, any crowd that appears is bound to be the enemy, even if this group of people is wearing Soviet clothes, and the steel helmets on their heads really reveal their identities.

The sentry was well hidden, and after discovering the enemy, he quickly ran through the forest and reported the enemy situation to Tokov, who was waiting for his work.

"Are these German devils really here!?" Throwing away the cigarette butt, Tokov questioned loudly.

"Yes, company commander, it's just that the first to appear is the puppet army, which is the so-called Eastern Battalion."

Hearing this word, Tokov felt rather lost. "It turned out to be the Eastern Battalion, this group of people was once, like us, after being captured in battle, they abandoned their principles and became accomplices of the enemy, they were traitors to the great Motherland."

The few soldiers lying next to the company commander listened to it sincerely, and couldn't help but show gritted teeth.

"Yes!" The sentry replied: "Behind the puppet army are the Germans, and they are indeed very numerous, and I am afraid that we will face a fierce battle when we defend this small position." ā€

"Oh? Scared? Tokov asked confidently.

"Nope! Of course I'm not afraid, even if I die in battle, I admit it. It's just a pity that we have to fight the scum of the Eastern battalion first, and I just want to fight the Germans before I die. ā€

"Forget it! I haven't even thought about dying in battle! If you are a combat infantryman who wants to continue to kill the enemy in the future, we will all die, but not necessarily today, understand? Now give me the order and tell the whole company what our enemies are! ā€

The battle was imminent, and more than a hundred fighters knew that they would be the first to fight the Eastern Battalion.

Traitors are much more hateful than German soldiers. The soldiers in a rage pulled the bolt ferociously, and the angry bullets pushed into the chambers. There were many warriors who were nervous about the enemy's army of 2,000 men, but now they were completely replaced by anger.

The machine gunners and non-snatchers were ready for battle, but another order from Tokov was to stand still.

Therefore, the grenades were removed one after another and placed on the top of the trench, while the fighters crouched in the trench with their guns. Some of the fighters acted as grenadiers at the moment, tying five wooden-handled grenades together to make cluster grenades, one barrage meal at a time, waiting for the enemy to slowly disappear.

Only five warriors looked at the forest with small eyes, until they saw some wobbling figures.

"Attention, the enemy has appeared! Get ready for battle! "The alarm quickly spread throughout the trenches, and everyone was ready for battle, just waiting for the German army to move into the grenade investment range.

But the Germans could not have been stupidly swarmed by a large group of people, and such a dense formation would inevitably encounter enemy machine-gun fire.

To make matters worse, the Belarusian battalion at the head of the team was the first to arrive at the battlefield, with a large number of corpses lying on the ground, the blown trees burning alone, the ground covered in a layer of charred carbon, and the smell of responsibility in the air.

It was because of the nervousness and the pervasive smell of death that many people simply vomited.

The advancing German army did not expect the battlefield to be so bad, and the whole army stopped like this, especially the soldiers of the Belarusian battalion, their German battalion commander Watt, did not hesitate to order the whole battalion to lie down, which also directly caused the entire army to lie on the ground.
