Chapter 577: A Scuffle in the Night
The German positions were filled with gunfire, rifles, machine guns, and all kinds of sounds. www.biquge.info Many soldiers simply pointed their guns at the sky and fired at random, as if the prisoners of war had really begun to flee and the defenders were forced to block them.
Balzen looked in the direction of the north, he lay on the temporary bunker and couldn't help complaining to the soldiers on the left and right: "Listen, this kind of firepower is a massacre for the fleeing prisoners of war, which of you will believe that the prisoners of war really choose to escape, and there will be people who will survive at gunpoint?" ”
No one in the old birds of the reconnaissance company believed that the prisoners of war would escape safely. If you see a group of people coming into view for a while, don't talk nonsense, just pull the trigger and kill as many as you want!
In order to be able to resolve the battle quickly, some soldiers at the forefront are simply equipped with RPGs, which are best used to deal with emergencies with the most violent weapons.
On the other hand, Lothaheim had already ordered the "bait" to set off, and nearly two hundred German soldiers dressed in Soviet cotton clothes crossed their positions and ran quickly along the established route.
"It's up to you, boys, to take as many prisoners as possible!" Lotharheim watched as the figures faded into the night, unaware of the poor plan he had made with the wounded Haldeman.
These fake POWs marched in loose formation, at first they were still running, and then they slowly turned into walking.
This group of people also gradually became cautious, far enough away from the position, and in order to act realistically, the two companies only had a hundred guns. There are fighters from the Eastern Battalion in the ranks, and they will meet with the Soviet troops who have come out, and take this opportunity to launch signal flares, and the battle will begin in full swing.
Getting closer and closer to the agreed place, their actions were closely watched by the Soviet troops in ambush. Or because of the night vision devices, this operation was reinforced by two sets of Balzen, one of which was mounted on top of the machine gun, and the machine gunner had already seen a group of people approaching from a distance.
"Company commander! Is it the enemy? Or an ally? I see a crowd of people moving! ”
"Surely the enemy!" Balzen ordered the machine gunners to be combat-ready.
In fact, as far as the machine gunner is concerned, those shaking figures are also enemies, who suddenly slackened after breaking through the enemy's layers of blockade? If he himself was an escaped prisoner of war, he would definitely want to run a marathon, and only after a distance of 40 kilometers could he feel safe.
The guns of the Soviet soldiers were pointed here, and soon, in the moonlight, a group of people came at the agreed assembly point.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted the words "Red Army", and Balzen immediately ordered to stand still.
"What is Balzen doing, say okay to beat it first!" Ravlendi closed the rifle safety in a hate and pulled in the telegraph operator to ask Barzen what was going on.
Because, at the critical moment, this group of people shouted the vocabulary, which was the previous joint code. The previous anomalies seem to have faded, maybe these people are really escaped prisoners of war?
Rav didn't talk nonsense, and said directly into the walkie-talkie: "Balzen, you are overly cautious now!" You forgot the order of the deputy division commander? Now fire! Even if it's a real prisoner of war, you'll have to fire! This was an order from the division headquarters. ”
Balzen thought about it too, and the closed insurance came to open again. He pulled the trigger at random, which became the signal for an attack, and in an instant, hundreds of guns opened fire at the same time.
The machine gunners next to him, with the help of night vision devices, fired at the crowd wantonly, and many people fell to the ground under the green screen.
RPGs also opened fire on the spot, and these ordinary charge warheads filled with bullet fragments had unparalleled mass destruction, and the debris of the explosion swept through the crowd.
At the first exchange of fire, those fake prisoners of war fell to the ground, and the rest of them hurriedly lay on the ground. They opened fire in the direction of the fire, which completely revealed their nature - they were not prisoners of war at all.
Just from the density of firepower, Balzen understood that this group of people must have dozens of rifles, and it is impossible to think that so many unarmed prisoners of war were captured in an instant. He was a little afraid of the over-cautiousness he had just made, because the guys who caught his eye were the enemy.
The gunfire quickly subsided, as vague figures disappeared in the dim light. Actually, the living creatures were lying on the ground, and suddenly, a green flare flew into the air.
It was so beautiful that it flew to a height of tens of meters and exploded.
"Hell! We're exposed! Balzen stood up suddenly, and immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a message to the friendly troops: "Anyway, let's withdraw quickly!" It's a decoy! ”
Who doesn't see that this isn't a decoy?
Lavrendi currently has the most troops at hand, and he is in charge of the right flank, carrying a large number of unknown people who have entered the forest. He had just received an order to retreat from Balzen, and as a result, the sensitive soldier put his ear to the trunk of the tree and heard a strange sound in the earth.
"Battalion commander, there may be a crowd moving towards us, what should we do?!" The soldier simply roared in a hurry.
"What else can I do? Get ready for battle! It doesn't matter if the guys who come here are humans or monsters, shoot me and kill them! We have a lot of troops, cover the retreat of the others! ”
The fighters were united, and because of Ravlenti's plea, Balzen had no worries at all. A group of undead people are still lying on the ground, they are the enemy, and the Soviets can no longer take care of them.
Balzen and Evgeny retreated south, and if this was a complete set, the enemy might retaliate by shelling.
On the contrary of these two, it was the resolute defensive position taken by Lavrenti's men, and many of the soldiers pressed their ears to the ground in a hurry, only to hear the sound of shaking getting closer and closer, and in a moment they heard footsteps.
"Comrades, to the darkness, hit me!"
The order was issued, and the fighters, who had been holding back for a long time, shot en masse.
Like the law of the dark forest, although the Soviets did not know what was approaching, was it the Germans or some other monster? In short, the guys in the dark are extremely dangerous, and the only way to kill them is to use bullets to harvest their lives first.
Lawrence, who was advancing through the group, was momentarily stunned, and there was a bright light and a loud sound everywhere in the distance, followed by the strange sound of something cutting through the darkness.
From time to time, soldiers fell to the ground in the noise, and even a submachine gunner in front of Lawrence fell like a lost soul, frightening Lawrence to lie down directly.
"Damn! It's a blockade! Brothers, give me a counterattack! ”
The Germans did not know what to do, and they were shooting at the fire.
At present, because the light of the Soviet and German armies is too dark, no one can do a good job of aiming, and the two groups of people are shooting at each other in the dark, and bullets are flying sideways in the air.
When it was the turn of firepower, it was clear that the Germans were superior, but the blood was only a few tens of seconds. The rate of fire of the MP40 is not fast, but the ammunition carried this time cannot withstand the crazy waste.
Lawrence realized that if he continued to fight aimlessly, he would run out of bullets. He shouted hard: "Everyone save bullets and aim at the light!" As a result, not many people listened to him at all, and the submachine gunners still fired unscrupulously, and some even lay on their stomachs, just outstretched their arms and held the submachine guns blindly.
On the other hand, Ravlen was not doing well, and one of his platoon commanders yelled at him: "Battalion commander! Who the hell are we fighting!? It's so dark I can't aim at all. ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Wherever there is fire, you will fight! We'll just open fire, hold on for another ten minutes and we'll withdraw! ”
