Chapter 212: The Ambush Battle
As Yang Mingzhi predicted, the German convoy of wounded troops really existed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the battle of Moscow, the Germans were already at the end of their strength, their offensive advantage no longer existed, and the whole battle looked like the Germans were about to lose. Coupled with strategic mistakes, at least 100,000 German soldiers froze to death and suffered frostbite due to the extreme cold, and in addition to those wounded in battle, more than 300,000 people lost their combat capability, and a large number of wounded soldiers had to be transported to the rear.
The field hospitals on the front line also began to evacuate, and perhaps the soldiers on the front line still had the confidence to continue fighting, but the German doctors and nurses in the rear had already sensed the crisis. Because they were facing the largest group of wounded in the history of the German army, as if the troops at the front were suffering the most violent rout.
A large number of wounded were transferred, some of which had to be crossed by the road from Mozir to Gomel.
The scouts had set up a makeshift observation post further east of the ambush, and they did not wait long before they saw a convoy from a distance with their binoculars.
Yang Mingzhi received the information from them and immediately ordered his subordinates, "Everyone prepare for battle and destroy all armed men." ”
The troops are actually equipped with a lot of rockets, and if it is a normal ambush, the enemy combat infantry will suffer heavy losses if it is a normal ambush and uses a large number of rockets to cause fire coverage. But the situation is exceptional, and Yang Mingzhi cannot do this. It's like saving Soviet prisoners, try to avoid accidental injuries. The same is true of the attack on the German convoy transporting wounded soldiers, if it is blown up, there will be no precious medicine and sanitary products.
Because the order Yang Mingzhi gave to the fighters was only to eliminate the armed men. Non-combatants, such as doctors and nurses, may also be useful.
The dozen or so soldiers closest to the ambush on the road, clutching hemp ropes tightly in their hands, waited for the enemy to throw themselves into the net.
Yang Mingzhi remained vigilant, and he glanced sideways at his two girls. Natasha and his wife, both of them are also ready for battle, they set up the SVT40 bipod, the gun and the lying body show a certain angle, the legs of the two are even more apart, everything is like the standard sniper posture set by later generations.
The wait did not last long, and the noise of the vehicles reached the ears of the fighters.
"They're here right away, and as soon as the explosion happens, you shoot the enemy tires right away." Yang Mingzhi emphasized again.
The German convoy of wounded men consisted of thirty trucks, and they were fast on four wheels, with a layer of iron ropes draped over the wheels as snow chains. When the battle to free the prisoners of war broke out, the subsequent convoy did not know about it, because they were still far away in the city of Gomel!
The destination of the convoy was Lechitsa, where the wounded were to rest.
The entire convoy transported more than 500 wounded, escorted by two companies of soldiers, and non-combatants by more than 60 doctors and nurses.
Such convoys came and went very frequently during this time, and the drivers knew that the road was not very smooth, and they had heard of several big battles caused by the guerrillas, which was actually the 284th Division, but they got rumors that the attack on the "swamp guerrilla brigade" from the swamp was attacked.
At first, the drivers were very worried, and then they were paralyzed as they did not encounter danger after a long journey, but this time the danger really came.
At the head of the team was a truck transporting soldiers, with a general-purpose machine gun on the roof, Yang Mingzhi saw this truck from a distance, they were walking west along the road, soon to reach the ambush site, and then saw a messy battlefield.
In the case of the truck driver, he had seen some black smoke coming out of the front of the road, but he didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until he continued on, entering the path between two woods, that something was billowing black smoke right in front of him.
At this time, the Soviet soldiers in ambush pulled the hemp rope one after another, and the cluster grenade was detonated.
The violent explosion shook several trucks, killing and wounding many German soldiers, and many others were stunned.
"The battle has finally begun! Girls! Call me! ”
Without Yang Mingzhi's direct order, star fruit and Natasha began to act. They aim at the wheels of all the trucks they can see, and shooting at a stopped truck is like shooting a target. The two men kept their composure, and one by one they named the wheels and subfuel tanks of the truck.
Star fruit shot frequently, those pneumatic tires were broken, and all the trucks that were hit were tilted. The tires were scrapped, and she focused on the fuel tank, where pink paint gushed out of the snow, but they didn't deflagrate.
At the same time as this, the fighters who had pulled the grenades suddenly stepped forward and fired wildly at the unlucky enemy with their submachine guns. At such a close distance, the German soldiers in the first two trucks were hit one after another, and they barely fought back before they fell victim to the Soviet soldiers.
The first vehicles of the convoy that the fighters attacked, so the scrapped trucks and the large number of corpses became natural roadblocks, and the remaining twenty or so vehicles were already in their wings.
The enemy's armed men, who were still alive, immediately counterattacked with the help of trucks, and they reacted fairly quickly and organized a counterattack as soon as they were sure that they had been ambushed. However, they were in a state of being attacked from the back, and in the face of Soviet fire, the German soldiers of these two companies had no advantage at all.
Since this is a battle, it is inevitable that bullets do not grow eyes. Countless bullets flew through the canvas skin of the truck, and the wounded and nurses inside the truck were also attacked, and many people were directly hit by the bullets.
All nurses and doctors can do is lie down as much as possible to avoid sudden death.
But the death that should have come is still coming, and during the battle, the sparks from the bullets, as well as the traces of magnesium oxide burning with the light bullets, hit the gasoline on the snow, and immediately burst into flames. Canvas was easy to burn, and soon several trucks gradually became "torches".
"It's not bad, after I hit the gas tank, the gasoline burns, and the Nazis are going to be scorched." Natasha said.
Yang Mingzhi put down the binoculars and looked at her sideways. But the girl at this moment, her eyes are wide, and there is a hideous smile on her face, and the girl at this moment seems to be a witch. Suddenly, a sense of concern came to mind.
Yang Mingzhi shook his head and continued to observe, only to see that some people jumped down from the burning vehicles, and everyone's bodies were burning. Looking closely, I saw that there was actually a woman there, wearing a white coat covered in fire, rolling on the ground with her teeth and claws.
There was another man who appeared to have a bandage on his left arm, and from the perspective of a Tasaka, he was still an officer. He was also covered in fire, and after struggling on the ground for a while, he suddenly fell to his knees, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and shot himself in the head.
Yang Mingzhi's eyes widened, it was really painful to be burned alive, it was better to give himself a shot than to die like this. Yang Mingzhi could understand the person's feelings, and he looked at the two girls again, who seemed to be shocked by the tragedy despite having experienced many cruel wars.
There were more burning people jumping out of the car, and Yang Mingzhi ordered loudly: "Natasha! Bessica! Shoot those who are on fire, give them mercy, and let them die a happy death! ”
"Good...... Good! "Star fruit's cheek is again pressed against the butt of the gun, targeting the burning man.
A series of crisp gunshots rang out, and a pile of burning human corpses arose above the snow.
At this moment, the gunfire is still ringing, and there are fewer and fewer people who are still stubbornly resisting the enemy. Those guys blindly shot around, and they didn't get any results, but became the target of the Soviet army's accurate marksmen.
The troops did not lose much ammunition against the weakly armed German convoy, and most of the dead died from Mosin Nagant's precision fire.
The gunfire from the truth gradually stopped, and for this reason, the Soviet soldiers stopped shooting,
Yang Mingzhi pressed his wife's rifle, "You and Natasha stop shooting now, put on a new magazine, and hold your breath to observe." After that, the radioman was called, and Yang Mingzhi held the walkie-talkie and ordered the two battalion commanders. Now you immediately cease fire for ten minutes, and the troops should not act rashly for the time being, and see how the enemy reacts. (To be continued.) )
