Chapter 683: The Germans are no longer chasing

When it came to marching in the forest, Speer knew that he was indeed inferior to these Soviets. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When he returned to the position where he set off, he unsurprisingly found that the camp had been destroyed.

"Damn! They took our food and destroyed our bedding! What can I do at night?! In front of Speer, a large number of cans were destroyed, and the soldiers' bags were completely blown up. Apparently the Soviets just threw some grenades and hastily destroyed them, and then fled for their lives.

The Eastern Battalion was running north, and the group had betrayed Germany. They were just a bunch of cowards who couldn't take care of them, and Speer learned the hard way, and the hounds in the army were still barking in the southwest direction.

"Sure enough, this group of Soviets fled in this direction, and I must catch up with them and try to make up for the tactical mistakes!" Stomping his feet, Speer knew that his forces were limited, and how much he could achieve would depend on the current state of his troops.

But look at their own soldiers, this group of grizzled soldiers are panting and embarrassed.

Also, they had just attacked and continued to pursue, had they been running all day? Running a half-marathon with weapons and ammunition on your shoulders, I'm afraid that everyone will be exhausted to death.

Even so, the pursuit cannot be stopped!

Speer ordered: "Hurry up and eat some dry food with you, leave our other belongings alone, and go after the enemy now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the majority of soldiers were unmoved. Their eyes stared directly at the destroyed supplies, and they were left to lament when they gasped for breath.

"Brethren! I asked you to chase after me, what are you still doing in a daze? Do you want me to shoot a few people before you leave? ”

With that, Speer raised his pistol and snapped it a few times, but unfortunately the gunfire was still muffled by the frequent machine-gun fire. Because it was in the position of the Soviet army, the remaining personnel there were still fighting with the German army.

A company commander rushed to Speer and lamented: "Battalion commander! Look at the reality! We don't have much rations left, and we don't have much ammunition left. The enemy has destroyed our supplies in a mess, and we go after them like this, and we will not be hungry and sick until the night?! ”

"You're shaking the hearts of the army!" In a fit of rage, Speer's muzzle was pointed at the company commander's eyebrows. In a trance, he didn't do anything after all.

The company commander was not afraid, his sad eyes shook Speer, and in a trembling manner, he put away his pistol.

"It's sad. It's not that I don't want to pursue, it's that none of you want to. I know that with one of our battalions to chase the Soviets, the more south we go, the more dangerous it will be, and we will not be able to annihilate the whole army! But if we don't chase it, our division commander will be responsible for this unauthorized action! Unless we win, we will be able to pay for our crimes! We've had too many people dead in the past two days! ”

A disappointed Speer sat on the ground, knowing that the 707th Division was scrapped again this time. I am afraid that in the future, this unit will be transferred to another area to clear out the guerrillas there, and the vast number of officers and men will basically bid farewell to frontal combat with such inferior performance, and can only be used as the executioner of the massacre of the Diao people.

Disheartened, he decided to stay here and ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Safir: "Tell the brothers of the 722nd Division that the logistics warehouses of our army have been destroyed, all the Eastern Battalion have defected, all the defenders have been killed by them, and the Soviet troops have fled to the point where they have escaped." ”

The sound of Morse code dripping reached Speer's ears, and if he passed on the information in this way, he would be criticized as a defeatist, and if he didn't do well, he would go to court-martial.

"That's it! It's worth it to die for all my brethren to live, my people have died too much! ”

It was with this mentality that Speer simply didn't care about anything, and he ordered: "Brothers in the whole battalion, rest immediately now, we will not chase!" Gather all the available weapons and ammunition, gather the stalls and cans that can still be used, look at all the corpses, and save them if you still have a breath. ”

……

Speer even asked the whole battalion to stop the pursuit, and Safir did not burst into a rage when he learned about it.

The men of the 722nd Division have been shrinking the encirclement, but the machine gunners of the Soviet army are really powerful. The Germans were unwilling to risk huge casualties to attack, and when they learned that the place where the supplies were stored was burned by the Soviets, if the German soldiers knew about it, they would be demoralized.

"It's over! It's all over now! Safir could only lament as he listened to the telegrapher's report.

The men of the 707th Division really didn't blame them for not chasing, Safir understood his comrades, that group of Soviets just had rabbit legs, and once they got rid of the encirclement, they quickly fled without a trace. His own division has also suffered a big loss in this regard.

Now in front of Safir was a handful of Soviet troops, and this group of remaining troops was the queen of their large army, and in anger he ordered the troops to continue the attack, gnawing away all the firepower little by little.

In any case, there is no doubt about the superiority of the German army, coupled with the rapid depletion of bullets and the depletion of the defenders' energy, the Germans finally began to draw fire one by one.

The Soviet defenders, who had run out of ammunition and food, had already experienced that after the machine guns stopped firing, soon there was a violent explosion, and the soldiers were martyred by pulling the glorious bullets.

More than 20 machine-gun positions were so stunned that Safir and Drach were dragged down for nearly two hours, so that thousands of German troops could not pursue Balzen's troops, and Speer's small strength alone was a drop in the bucket.

The task of clearing the Soviet defenders was finally completed, and the Germans paid a heavy price in casualties.

Safir looked at his watch, from the Estonian battalion taking the lead in attacking, to now the Soviets fled, their defenders were wiped out, the battle went on for four hours, and now it was almost twelve o'clock!

"This group of Soviets is really hard to bite, no wonder they lost thousands of people in our division in the last battle! This group of people is simply undead monsters!! "Death, Safir has seen too much. Among the corpses lying in the forest were a large number of young German lads.

They are very young and have a strong desire to fight, but they did not expect that there would be hundreds of casualties in this nest of battles.

Safir ordered: "Count the casualties of the whole army, gather together the corpses of our warriors, and all the wounded together, and not be stingy with morphine (although there are not many)!" ”

But for the wounded of the Eastern battalion, Safir completely lost patience. The main reason for the failure of the battle was that this group of people fled when they heard the news, not only did not stop the Soviet army, but also turned against the Germans. Therefore, he gave a simple request to the soldiers who collected the corpses, found the wounded of the Eastern Battalion, and killed them immediately.

On the battlefield, which was also shrouded in gunsmoke, the sound of German soldiers replenishing their guns was everywhere.

The sleepy Speer was carried out by this, and he stood up against the tree, holding up the binoculars and seeing that his allies were killing!

"Stupid, what's the use of killing those wounded of the Eastern Battalion now? But your behavior of replenishing guns after the war can be regarded as a pain for these dying people. Speer shook his head, he was more concerned about the safety of his own people, and now the entire infantry battalion was still intact, less than three hundred soldiers. Some have already died, and a whole bunch of wounded! Looking at the high ground where black smoke is still emitting, the friendly forces must have been saving the wounded.

The battlefield gradually returned to calm, and Speer waited for Safir and the others to come and discuss what to do next.

Just as he was napping, the dense gunfire came to mind again. When he opened his eyes, he found that his people were being slaughtered! The battle broke out once!

Worse still, the enemy was clearly the Soviets. I don't know why they didn't come from the southwest, but rushed out of the forest from the north, and they were really caught off guard.
