"What? Can't beat it? You have two thousand, and you can't win even a few hundred of them? Herzman asked loudly over the walkie-talkie. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes, division commander! Those Eastern volunteers are a bunch of idiots who run away when they hear the gunshots, and it is only us Germans who actually fight! We can only fight more than a thousand people! ”

"Even so, your forces are superior to theirs! That group of people has suffered very serious losses from the morning to the present, so they still can't win? ”

"Yes, they are still extremely combative, extremely strong in terms of firepower, they are not showing fatigue at all, but we have stopped at the front. If you attack rashly, it will be a huge loss! ”

Loss! Loss! Herzman held the walkie-talkie tightly, leaned back in his chair, stared blankly at the ceiling, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Hell, history is repeating itself again, does the number 707 mean disaster?" ”

Seeing that the division commander had made a decision immediately, Speer continued to ask anxiously: "Division commander! What are we going to do? The sun is about to set, and if we can't take their positions, we won't be able to fight anymore as long as night falls! ”

Speaking of nightfall, Herzman was even more worried. The 707th Division suffered waves of night attacks before resting, so the losses were quite huge. This group of enemies is best at night fighting, even if the Germans add some suitable machine gun night vision devices, the overall night defense is very good.

Looking at the watch, the time is not yet four o'clock, and in two hours the sun will set, and the sunset will continue until half past six in the afternoon at most.

Thinking of this, Herzman was absolutely unwilling. In his opinion, the Soviet troops in defensive positions will face three choices, the first is to continue to hold their positions, the second is to take the initiative to counterattack, and the last is to retreat.

After all, they have fought for a long time, and it is impossible not to get tired. Thinking about it, I joined them to escape, and by one o'clock they had already withdrawn. If they counterattack, it means that their physical strength can no longer be called human. So, it looks like they will continue to hold their ground.

Considering the intelligence reported by their own people, the Soviets were dropping a large number of troops into the swamps, so it is possible that the group of Soviet troops in front of them was defending their landing ground and preventing a possible German attack. In the same way, this group of people is also engaged in a strategic confrontation with their own overhaul of defensive positions here.

In short, the troops of the Soviet Army, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy a unit of the 284th Guards Division in a formed form is at hand.

But considering that his strength may not be enough, the quick-witted Herzman used his brains.

Although he didn't want his allies to get a piece of the pie, the current battle situation really should be rescued by the soldiers.

So, Speer, who was anxiously waiting for a reply, received this reply: "Order, the front-line troops immediately maintain tactical suppression, as far as possible to prevent the encircled enemy from escaping." I will send five field guns to the front to help you bombard the enemy's positions. At the same time, I will ask the 722nd Division to send troops to reinforce us! ”

"Yes! We will do our part! Speer ended the correspondence, and after an order from the division headquarters, the commander-in-chief of the troops besieging the Soviet army was Speer himself. Although he is a battalion commander, he now has a regiment of troops.

It's just a pity that there is a regiment of troops in the air, but the combat effectiveness of the troops is very bad.

The shootout was still going on, and the German soldiers no longer dared to make a bird, and the fighters of the Eastern Battalion were even more obedient to the suppression of firepower.

Directly in front of Tokov's position, the enemy left another corpse, plus the previous battle was killed, everyone really fought in the sea of corpses.

More than 100 Soviet troops also suffered some casualties in the battle, and when the situation stabilized a little, Tokov immediately ordered the casualties to be counted.

Each platoon reported on its current situation, how many could still fight, how many died, and how much ammunition they kept.

The casualties were quickly counted, and with his back to the trenches, Tokov was dressed in rough clothes, and he was quite happy in his heart.

"Thirty casualties, we were besieged by two thousand people, and it was a blessing that we had such casualties, but I don't know how many the enemy was wounded."

As for the enemy's situation, it is impossible to count, but the vast number of fighters believed in their marksmanship, and the numerous shooters were sure that they had hit several enemies, and if they were blown up by that wave of dense grenades, the enemy's casualties would have been two or three hundred, to say the least.

In any case, the enemy did not dare to attack for the time being, although Tokov was very tired, after two hours of thrilling and high-intensity fighting, he was adrenaline-induced, and his excitement was already bloodshot and sleepy.

In this state of high load, it is difficult for a soldier to hold out for too long, and once it is quiet, the person will still be tired. At this time, the biggest enemy was no longer those German troops, but their own bodies!

Tokov ordered: "The brothers who are still alive immediately eat dry food, as long as they nibble on some bread crumbs to fill their stomachs, they will not get tired." Wait until it gets dark and we retreat. ”

As soon as they heard the words of retreat, the majority of soldiers complained one after another.

It is a good thing that everyone is willing to continue to hold their positions, but it is a pity that Tokov does not want to continue to stay and fight the enemy, and besides, the order is that his company will hold on until eight o'clock in the evening.

He ordered again: "Until a new order is received, all must act according to the original orders, the enemy has not surrounded us at all, and at eight o'clock we will retreat to the south, and this position will be resolutely abandoned." ”

Therefore, there are still more than three hours for the whole company to run softly, what to do with the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers? Can only stay here. Of course, everyone hopes that if they die in battle, the body can be collected by their comrades-in-arms and pulled back to be buried in the cemetery. In fact, it is a wilderness of violent corpses, and everyone tries not to think about this kind of sorrow that only soldiers have.

Scattered walls remained, of people who had exposed their limbs from their bunkers, or simply held up their helmets for probing, and even with such precision bullets had been fired. The Germans had some more wounded, or the helmets were sent flying.

This temptation was meaningless for the offensive, and even more frightening to the German soldiers.

Fortunately, these fighters knew about the movements of their superiors, that is, the artillery had begun to move.

They were five 75-mm field guns that had been deployed in positions, which were lighter in weight, easier to tow, and faster to set up positions than heavy guns.

But the Germans also faced a lot of trouble, that is, large-caliber field guns could not move. These small-caliber ones had to be pulled out of the fixed gun emplacements, and then six horses were used as towing tools, and the soldiers escorted the special artillery corps into the forest to set up new positions.

New artillery positions were placed there, which required technicians to complete the mapping at the division headquarters so that the artillery could cover the enemy's position.

As it was getting dark, and this series of actions must be hurried, Herzman ordered to his Lemberg regiment: "You must assume the artillery positions before dark, and let the infantry protect the new positions, and wait until tomorrow at dawn to start the artillery bombardment!" ”
