Simultaneously with the shelling, there was an offensive by the Soviet troops on all fronts, at least in the eyes of the Germans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cliburn was stunned on the spot, "Could it be that our artillery killed their men, so their reinforcements came to seize the position?" ”

In the chaos, he could barely command, and even when hand-to-hand combat broke out on the other side of the show, he didn't care. At the moment, he had to dodge the shelling with Schumacher.

The fighters of the Ravlian battalion entered the positions one after another, and even though they felt physically and mentally exhausted, the fighters still had a great advantage against the unprepared German troops. It's just that he also knows very well that the energy of the fighters is limited, or orders the troops to deal with the enemy with guns as much as possible.

In the northeastern part of its offensive front, where several machine-gun groups were also firing desperately, their greatest role was to create the illusion of a full-scale attack by the main Soviet army, and of course the bullets were better formed into a barrage and hit some unlucky people who did not open their eyes.

The current Yevgeny is still waiting until his artillery stops firing.

He supervised all this, and when he saw this, he quickly asked, "Have you run out of shells?" ”

"At least my group is left without shells!"

Evgeny looked at the gun emplacements, and this was indeed the case. "Good, it's time to attack!" He stood up and calmly ordered the entire battalion of officers and men to attack.

The combat strength of 1,000 people is not too much, but it is not too little. The Germans were squeezed into a small area, and after suffering many casualties, they finally began to counterattack.

But since the Soviets had already stormed their positions, a purely defensive battle was no longer possible.

When the shelling ended, there was a dense and unusual sound of gunfire all around. Clayburn had just recovered when he suddenly noticed a dense shout coming from the southeast.

"Oops! The Soviets are planning to surround us! Clayburn slapped his thigh and stood up, and a bullet whizzed past his ear, causing the creature to fall into the trench at once.

Schumacher, who was crouching, asked loudly: "Is the enemy planning to destroy us all?" What's your solution? We are now surrounded! ”

"I know! I know it all! Now we're either going to hold on here or we're going to run! Or we call our artillerymen. ”

"Artillery! Are you kidding? Schumacher shouted in despair: "The enemy is too cunning, this coordinate is simply outside the range of our howitzers!" ”

"Doesn't that mean we're going to be finished!?" Cliburn was clearly aware that he had encountered the most critical moment in his life, in his opinion, the Soviet army had attacked from the rear and front, and he was like a sandwich biscuit, and he was really suffering from the enemy at the moment.

Neither he nor Schumacher were cowards, and the soldiers under his command were all young men, at the age when they were in the prime of life and most eager to fight.

Lying in the trench, Cleburn clenched his pistol, ignoring the sloppy and indifferent whistling bullets, stood up like a hero, and said coldly to his comrades: "We are soldiers of the Third Reich, and even if we are surrounded, we must be worthy of honor." Even if we die in battle, we are worthy of our loyalty, so I decided to fight to the death. ”

Schumacher smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then let's fight, but my subordinates can be as calm as us, and it would be good if they had the consciousness to fight to the death." ”

If all the Germans were willing to fight to the death, they would still be able to organize an effective defense, even if they suffered more than 100 casualties. However, the instinct of survival prevailed, and due to the stagnation of the command system, the German army actually fought separately in squads, especially the soldiers who fought hand-to-hand with Lavlenti's troops!

The German armament of these two battalions was far inferior to that of the front-line troops, and their greatest task was to ensure law and order in the occupied areas, and to deal with mainly partisan enemies. This is because of this thinking, their automatic firepower is too small in number and their performance is terrible.

They were armed with a number of Czech ZB26s, as well as the Germans' own old MG13s, and the number of MG34s in common was only five, and the density of fire was relatively poor.

But they did begin to shrink their forces, and hundreds of them were huddled together, and their firepower was not to be underestimated.

After a short hand-to-hand fight, Lavrenti knew that this style of play was purely a dangerous move to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and the remaining fighters began to expand their results, but they were also crushed to the ground by the Germans who were huddled.

"Oops! If we can't let the enemy flee, we won't be able to gnaw at all! Why don't you Germans run away, do you really want to break the net with us? Lavrenti scolded, at this time, if the troops were equipped with a large number of recoilless guns, everything would not be a problem. If the RPG has a large number of copies, it's easy to say, but there are only two left.

The number of heavy weapons and equipment is so bad that with light weapons alone, it is impossible to fight a tough battle, and even the most elite troops have to pay a huge price to win.

After some command, Cliben and Schumacher finally conveyed the order to the various companies, and regardless of the losses of the companies, they all assembled on the ground at the battalion headquarters. The soldiers had to follow the orders, and the scattered people suddenly gathered together, and when the fire was organized, the chaos ended.

The Soviets and Germans exchanged fierce fire in the forest, and it was difficult for the attacking Soviet troops to take advantage of it.

"Hold on, everyone, the Soviets will not be able to advance for a while and a half! We just have to hold on a little longer, and reinforcements will arrive! Cliburn's words calmed down quite a few fighters.

Indeed, he kept his promise and immediately ordered the telegraph operator to report to the regimental headquarters, which was then informed of the situation.

……

"Sure enough, the Soviets still have troops in the forest, and it seems that our troops are attacking their camp by occupying their camp! Order the artillery regiment and carry out artillery cover! With a wave of his hand, Herzman pointed to the approximate coordinates reported by Cliburn and was about to explode.

But the chief of staff immediately put an end to such an unrealistic order.

"What? Do you think the artillery will blow up our own people? Rostad, as chief of staff, you certainly have to think about a lot of things, but do not doubt the bravery of our fighters. ”

"Forget it! It's not a question of being brave or not. "Rostad took the compass and set up a position in the artillery regiment and drew a circle with this as the center of the circle." Division commander, this is the range of our artillery shelling, do you understand? We're still honestly sending infantry to reinforce us! ”

Herzman was well aware that his artillery could only blow up the forest, and could not kill an enemy at all. "These Soviets are so cunning that unless I order the artillery to move their positions they can help my people, but then it will be too late."

In fact, he didn't know how many troops the Soviets had, and he also knew that the tactics of adding fuel were not a good move. It's just that his own people are surrounded, he knows too well the style of his own enemy, the 284th Guards Division of the Soviet Army, and if it is encircled, it will be a war of annihilation, and the two main battalions will be completely destroyed, so the losses of this day will be too crazy.
