After a thrilling battle in the morning, Balzen led more than 400 people who were still alive and hurried in the direction of the ruins of Homnich. In fact, they could walk more than 20 kilometers to get there.
The vast number of soldiers did not have the joy of escaping, and all of them had bad faces.
This battle was not expected at all, and as a result, more than 1,000 people were stunned to attack the position of an infantry division, so it was natural that they would be counterattacked by the Germans in an all-round way. Even if the troops are elite, they have been fighting hard for several days, the logistics are non-existent, and it is a blessing in misfortune to survive hundreds of people.
Carambola and Natasha, both of them are tired from their delicate bodies. They are girls and are under more pressure than adult men.
During the march, star fruit chops off a section of a branch with a dagger and uses it as a crutch. In order to keep up with the hurried pace of the large army, the girl had to grit her teeth and persevere, even if she walked a little out of shape.
"Bessica! Did you get your foot down? Natasha was worried when she saw her sister limping.
"Alas! I'm afraid that the calluses on the soles of my feet are worn out! It's terrible, every time I walk now, it's like I've been pricked with a needle. ā
"Then take off your shoes and take a look!" Natasha was suddenly nervous, even if the star fruit was not happy, she still started it herself, and was stunned to pull up the foot that her sister had been crying out of pain, and pulled out her shoes, only to see that the cloth socks that had been worn out of the big toe were already dark red in one place.
"Damn! You're still strong! Your feet are hurt! Looking at the blood, it is indeed just injured! ā
In the nervousness, Natasha couldn't do anything. Her feet are worn out, and the soles of her lost feet are full of calluses, and she can't hurt them for the time being. Natasha shook her head: "That's it! Besika, now you don't want to go on your own. Your tender feet can't stand up to a long march, and you've been working hard these days. ā
Soon, at Natasha's behest, Igor half-knelt beside the two girls and carried the star fruit directly on his back.
"That's it! We have Igor, who is our reliable logist. After that, star fruit consciously slapped her ass twice, and I saw Natasha still with a smiling face. Bessica, you're so happy, it's nice to have someone carrying you on your back. ā
"Really? But the smell of sweat on Igor's body is really pungent! ā
Star fruit is not cheap and good, she knows that Maozi has a fox smell, and the smell is stronger than sweat sour! But now I don't have to be a crow to be black, and I don't have to take a bath for a few days, and my smell is just as bad. Even if the smell is pungent, you have to endure it, and if you make Igor angry, you will be thrown down.
Of course, the tall soldier was deep, and in addition to being held by himself, he carried two rifles on his back, as well as some rations and ammunition.
The whole army was moving through the forest at a speed of five kilometers per hour, and everyone still imagined themselves being chased by the Germans, who had been marching since they had escaped from the enemy's encirclement, and since then they have not encountered a single large wild animal, let alone a man.
It seems that the road ahead is peaceful, and everyone's hanging hearts are gradually relaxing.
Balzen was in a much better mood, looking at his watch it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and if it had not been for the battle with the Germans today, the troops might have arrived in Homnitsch.
"As agreed, you should have arrived at your destination." Muttering to himself, Balzen ordered the telegraph operator Misha, "Honey, now try to contact Homnich for me at once, we don't want to be away from them, don't care about the battery level, give me a contact in plain language." ā
Now that the communication was kept secret, the telegraph operator openly tried to make contact in the direction of Homnich.
ā¦ā¦
On the other hand, the paratrooper battalion led by Yang Mingzhi personally ran all the way in a truck. Although the road was tortuous, the battalion arrived at the ruins of Homnich earlier than expected.
This is a battlefield, there was originally a city here, but unfortunately it has been bombed to the surface of the moon!
Seeing such a battlefield relic for the first time, the second battalion commander Rychev could only compare this with the moon, he had seen the astronomical telescope, the crater on the moon was smashed by a meteorite, and here it was clearly blown up by an aerial bomb. Because only such a bomb can blow up a huge crater!
Yang Mingzhi drove the jeep, and the co-pilot sat Rychev.
He has adapted to the fact that this Chinese Berekov can drive, and now facing the ruins of the city that has been blown into powder, he really has a thousand words.
"Comrade! Don't look at it! In the fight for control of this small city, we fought with the Germans last year and again at the beginning of this year! The Germans are not popular, they can't take it away, so they simply don't let us take it, and directly send the air force to bomb this place like this! ā
Rychev was stunned when he heard this, he and his soldiers were all on the same expression, still looking directly at the ruins. The city was destroyed like this, and the intensity of the war at that time must have been the same as at the front.
Yang Mingzhi didn't want to talk about the past, but now his task is to save Balzen and the soldiers, and he has to hold his wife in his arms in person.
There were only two dozen Soviet troops left behind in the forest near the ruins of Khomnitch, and their mission was to serve a huge antenna.
A tall red pine tree has been converted into a signal tower, which is the base station for radio transmission.
The stationmaster had already been informed, so several communications soldiers had already waited on the outskirts of the forest until they saw a group of trucks walking on the soft dirt towards the communication station.
Yang Mingzhi had already noticed that there were two people waving red flags, so he woke up the second battalion commander who was still looking at the ruins of the city in the distance. "That's it! Comrade, the task ahead for us is daunting. If there are no accidents, our people have already returned here, and then we will be taken care of. ā
This was the first military mission carried out by the 2nd Battalion of the 233 Brigade of the Paratroopers, and after seeing the ruins, Rychev suddenly entered a state of imminent battle, the ruins are considered the border of the area controlled by the Soviet and German armies, and it is possible to meet the German army further on!
Yang Mingzhi looked sideways, but he didn't expect this guy of the same age as himself to actually touch the pistol. "Haha! Do you think we are going to war with the Germans? Now there is no hostility, you don't have to be nervous! ā
Despite what Yang Mingzhi said, Rychev ordered his men to be ready for battle, because they were paratroopers, and all of them were educated that they must always be prepared for an enemy attack that could occur at any time once they infiltrated enemy-occupied territory.
It's good that they're vigilant, it's just that they look nervous. When the truck arrived at its destination, the vast number of paratrooper soldiers got out of the car in an orderly manner, and one by one they were nervously holding their guns and aiming in all directions, they were simply afraid that the enemy would come out of the forest!
Yang Mingzhi didn't talk nonsense, and first said a few words to the signal soldier, "I really didn't expect that Balzen hasn't come back yet?!" ā
"Yes, and they've been blocked by the enemy again, and we still haven't received any new feedback. We tried to contact them, but we received nothing. ā
"When was the last time you received a communication from them?!" Yang Mingzhi asked.
"It was eight o'clock, and they reported that they had been attacked by the enemy and were locked in battle."
As soon as he heard that the fight had started, Yang Mingzhi continued to ask: "Did they explain the enemy's strength they encountered, and did they lose their own losses?" Do you hear the gunshots? ā
The signal soldier said in a fifteen-10 voice, and the information was not satisfactory. Yang Mingzhi was originally full of hope, and even thought that his wife had hidden in the forest, resting with Balzen's people, waiting for reinforcements! As a result, all of them were actually out of touch, and Yang Mingzhi's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Okay, I see, you quickly lead us to the communication station, I want to talk to your stationmaster." After speaking, Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and shouted at the nervous paratroopers: "Comrades, there is no enemy here, follow me into the forest!" ā
