The Soviet companies guarding the heights, they simply could not complete the task of holding back the Germans. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's over! It's all over! There are too many enemies for me to handle! ”

Evgeny already knew very well that the soldiers guarding the heights were dying one by one.

The total strength of the enemy was completely unexpected, as if they were in the thousands, and stormed one place!

He didn't know that if the high ground was lost, the Soviet troops who continued to hold it would be at a strategic disadvantage. The enemy could have set up a few mortars to bombard indiscriminately, or rely on their powerful manpower to encircle the rear of the Soviet army.

Evgeny thought so pessimistically, and the Germans did exactly that.

Safir shouted excitedly as he ran, as his men had rushed to the high ground.

He yelled at Speer, who was also running, "When we all reach the forest, your men will shoot at the enemy on the high ground, and I will lead my men to continue deeper, and finally cut off the enemy's rear path." ”

Speer felt that this was a reliable one, and the Soviets probably numbered in the hundreds. The Vostok battalion may not have been able to inflict much damage on the Soviets, at least it consumed a lot of their ammunition. Even if he is a sharpshooter, he is only a mortal when he runs out of bullets. In this way, the superiority of the German army in terms of strength was thoroughly manifested.

Thus, the ongoing strategic encirclement posture of the German army has become clear. The Soviet defenders on the heights were completely annihilated, and although the Germans paid some casualties, the end result was that the Soviets lost control of the commanding heights. Speer's men immediately ordered the dozen or so small-caliber mortar teams to set up positions on the high ground, targeting the forest near the high ground.

Of the current Soviet troops, only Evgeny's troops were trying to engage the Germans, trying to hold off Speer and Drach, so that their troops could not continue to advance.

He also noticed the movement of the German army, and saw a group of guys with cold helmets shining, moving quickly to the south.

"Not good! This bunch of bastards is going to surround us!? Evgeny slapped his thigh, quickly pulled the slightly wounded telegraph operator to his side, and shouted at him: "Inform the command at once, the enemy is outflanking us!" We are in danger of being surrounded! ”

On the other hand, Balzen personally carried an MP38 and fired at the group of traitors who continued to attack head-on, with German-made weapons and ammunition.

He's gone mad, and his eyes are red!

The bullets ran out, the smoking magazine was pulled out, and Balzen replaced one with one and was about to shoot with impunity.

At this time, the telegraph operator Misha hurriedly threw himself on the ground, directly holding up the headset and walkie-talkie: "Sir! Information from our right-wing troops! ”

"It's Evgeny!" Balzen threw the gun viciously and sat cross-legged on the ground, his right hand clenching the headset.

"What? You threw the high ground away?! The enemy is outflanking us? We're going to get our ass pounded again? Balzen, who was already nervous, almost fainted in a hurry.

Evgeny had already reported the situation in good condition, and could not hear Barzen's echo in his ears, and he asked again: "What shall we do?" Will you continue to hold out, or will you retreat?! ”

Balzen was already trembling as he held the headset and walkie-talkie, and he looked around, and the already very tired soldier still forced himself to be excited, and stubbornly fired at the enemy in the hail of bullets.

Moreover, continuous gunfire was heard from the flanks of the troops, and it was clear that the Germans were doing a strategic encirclement move.

The officers and men of the 284th Division believed that they were invincible in the forest, but now Balzen was really shaken. Looking back at the battle two days ago, it is now the third day. It was precisely because of his own initiative to attack that he really won a big victory at the beginning, and as the battle continued, he was simply beaten like a son.

As far as the eye can see, it seems that there are enemies everywhere. With only more than 500 people, he had to take care of dozens of seriously injured people. No, no! The available forces have fallen to only four hundred, and the loss of the high ground has killed more than a hundred by the Germans!

Evgeny knew that Balzen must be listening, and he asked several times in a row.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Balzenzi finally replied to his thoughtful last order: "The whole army continues to fight, we are already surrounded." ”

With that, he threw down the headset. Bullets flew around him, and the sound of gunfire was incessant, and Balzen slowly stood up, holding on to the tree, and the whole person fell into numbness.

"It's all over, it's all over! This amount of strength can only be wiped out by the enemy! I'm going to die in this place......"

After a moment of silence, the depressed Balzen erupted like a nervous eruption, first yelling, and then shouting to the warriors around him: "Comrades! The enemy is outflanking our backs. With our current strength of only 400 men, if we retreat to the left flank, we will still be caught up by the enemy, rather than dying, it is better to fight the enemy with all the bullets, and then we will fight the enemy with bayonets! ”

Balzen had hoped that his words would create an atmosphere of great sorrow, so that the warriors would unite to fight the enemy to the end. In this way, even if many people died, the price paid by the German army would be even greater. With his own sacrifices, the Germans suffered heavy casualties and reduced military pressure, and did not it protect Novgomel considerably?

He is ready to die generously, but it's a pity that the majority of soldiers will buy it?!

The fighters, hearing such a decision from the commander, did not say that it was good to continue the retreat to Homnich, reinforcements were already on the way, carrying bread, butter and comfortable quilts in a few hours.

Balzen did not hear the boiling "Ula". Holding up his submachine gun, he shouted in a different tone: "Comrades! The only thing we can do now is fight the enemy, as long as we hold on here and wait until our reinforcements arrive, we will be safe in the end! However, we may not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive. So, it's up to you to survive or not, we have to kill as many enemies as we can, and it's best to knock them back......"

In this damn battlefield, Balzen relied on the big tree to say this, which was a disaster for the majority of soldiers.

Barzen's decision to hold on was also telephoned by radio to Lavrenti, who was defending on the left flank.

The commander's spirit of fighting to the death is very much in line with the infantry regulations, since the outbreak of the war, the three million Soviet troops have been able to run out of ammunition and pick up sticks, and the war will not be lost so quickly and so miserably. But it's simply not appropriate to stay the course now!

Ravrenj did not hesitate to yell into the walkie-talkie: "Are you an idiot? We could clearly break through the encirclement, and the whole army retreated from the left flank for which I was responsible. We went into the forest, and the enemy did not help us? ”

Balzen also showed no weakness: "Fool! The enemy literally a thousand people have entered the forest, and they are outflanking us! We still have dozens of wounded, and we are under onslaught from three directions. Can we really get out? We only have 400 men to fight! ”

Ravlendi was taken aback, he himself could not care about the battle on the right flank, but could only take care of the onslaught of a large group of Soviet traitors who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Balzen's decision may also be very reasonable. Can the current troops really retreat? Although Maozi and Germany do not have a similar meaning of encirclement and Sanque, the tactics of this kind of encirclement war are real. In Lavrenti's opinion, it was as if a miniature "battle for the defense of Kyiv" was being staged.

It is not safe to retreat from your own direction at all, and the enemy has already arranged an ambush, just waiting for you to collide with it!

It's just that the situation is so critical, it's better to continue fighting!

Ravlendi finally figured it out and yelled into the walkie-talkie: "Balzen, I know what you want to do!" Let's do it! Even if I die, I have to die like a real man! ”
