Chapter Seventy-Three: The Feat of a Boy and a Girl
It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the German convoy was moving slowly. The poor road conditions made it difficult for them to move fast, and many German soldiers simply walked on foot, accompanying the trucks and horse-drawn carriages to act as a guard.
Yang Mingzhi is basically clear about the situation of this convoy, and they are certainly pulling a large amount of goods. What is it? It is estimated that it is food and ammunition, and the enemy on these two fronts consumes a lot.
The convoy was moving towards the Soviet ambush circle, and they did not perceive the dangerous approach at all.
Yang Mingzhi didn't order his subordinates to cut down trees as roadblocks or anything, he needed to take the enemy by surprise and attack them suddenly while they were marching.
In this way, the convoy has stepped out of the bend of the road, Yang Mingzhi held his breath, he had already seen the first truck.
"The fighters around me, all steady." Yang Mingzhi turned his head and gestured to the mortar artillerymen, who were ready for battle, and the gunners had already taken out the shells.
The battle would begin immediately, and he patted his wife on the back. "Peach, Natasha, listen to my order to fire in a moment."
There seemed to be a murderous aura in the air, Lawrence, the commander of the German convoy, who saw that the area was a little open, and there was a patch of grass leading into the woods, and there should be any danger here? It can't be, if the enemy's stragglers had been attacked, they would have attacked a long time ago.
Lawrence shook his head and told the driver next to him to hurry through the area.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a gunshot, which was Yang Mingzhi's order to attack.
Suddenly, the Soviet soldier who was ambushed in the grass jerked on the hemp rope, and twenty cluster grenades exploded. Yang Mingzhi ordered them to tie up ten grenades together, explode one of them, and the rest exploded one after another.
Suddenly, around the German convoy, a huge series of explosions occurred. Some grenades were blown into the sky, and their volleys exploded.
Many of these grenades were made in the Blacksmith Village, and the black powder was loaded, which was naturally not as powerful as TNT's, but the dense explosion was enough to injure a bunch of people and make them incapacitated.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and the thirty brave men who are in ambush, each of them is going to throw out all the grenades. These were captured from the Germans, and one hundred and twenty were thrown out in a minute, another serial explosion.
It was a catastrophe for the German soldiers, most of whom still had their rifles on their shoulders, and suddenly there was a series of explosions, killing and wounding many people. When the horses in the carriage were injured, some fainted on the spot, while others were so frightened that the horses began to rampage.
The scene was chaotic, followed by grenades.
There was a lot of smoke after the use of the weapon of the black powder charge, and there was chaos on the road, so Yang Mingzhi continued to order the mortar gunners to act.
Ten light mortars were fired one after another, and at the same time, Yang Mingzhi also noticed that rockets were being fired from the forest across the road.
"Yay! It seems that secret weapons can be involved in real combat! Yang Mingzhi was very happy, and the monkey version of the bazooka he asked to develop also participated in the war.
This weapon requires a daring fighter to ignite the fuse behind the butt of the rocket, and its warhead is simply a mortar modification, which is a small flat-fire grenade with little power and little accuracy. It was a good attack on a large target, but if Yang Mingzhi had known that the convoy was carrying a pile of heavy artillery shells, he might not have ordered the onslaught so much. After all, if the shell is detonated, I am afraid that I and my soldiers will go to the sky.
After the mortar bombardment, Yang Mingzhi noticed that a lot of powder was flying. It must have been flour, and a trace of regret suddenly came to mind.
"Damn, you guys blew it up too accurately." Yang Mingzhi turned his head to look at the artillerymen angrily and funny, "Pull back the flour and we can eat bread until next spring, and now it's all over." ”
"Come on!" Yerentina said regretfully, "It is impossible for the Germans to deliver food and ammunition to us for free. To take their supplies, you must take their lives. “
Yang Mingzhi saw that the time was ripe, and he ordered all the fighters to open fire.
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire from the forests on both sides, and the German soldiers, who had not yet been killed and blown up, finally reacted, and they used trucks as cover to shoot on both sides.
Lawrence finally came to his senses, and his face was bloody. At this moment, he saw that Hans, the driver next to him, was already unconscious. The windows were blown up, maybe the man was dead.
Lawrence heard a crackling sound as bullets hit the vehicle. "Hell, what a bunch of madmen these guerrillas are! If this car of heavy artillery shells is blown up, there will be no grass within a kilometer. ”
At this point, he suddenly felt that he would soon die if he was held back in the car any longer, so he pulled out his Luger pistol, pushed open the somewhat deformed car door and jumped down. As soon as the man got out of the car, a string of bullets exploded under his feet, kicking up a huge amount of dust, and he got under the car with a cleverness.
DP machine guns, captured MG34 machine guns fired one after another, and the luxurious firepower hit the Germans without raising their heads. A large number of German soldiers were hit by barrage strikes and were shot one after another.
The German radioman was carrying a large box on his back, and he was shouting. Yang Mingzhi saw that person very keenly, and immediately gave an order to the sniper. "Little Peach, Natasha, the man with the box on his back, kill him, quick!"
The order was given, and only Natasha was shooting calmly. Yang Mingzhi saw that his wife's little hands were trembling a little. He didn't say anything, but put his big hand on her back, calming the girl down.
Natasha lived up to expectations, she was very clever and shot the box on the man's back, as long as the radio was broken, it was useless to shout. Then, the man was also shot and killed.
"Well done Natasha. This group is blind now, and we need to end the fight quickly. Yang Mingzhi turned his head and gestured, and then a red flag was raised.
The two companies on the opposite side saw this order, and the two company commanders shouted: "All soldiers, get on the bayonets and prepare to charge!" ”
Yang Mingzhi Here, the soldiers are preparing for the traditional Ula charge. This was a great shock to the militia, and the soldiers of the junior battalion were very envious of the regular soldiers. Many young soldiers couldn't hold back their excitement and were ready to move one by one.
"Battalion commander, are we going to charge with the big force too?" A soldier asked.
Kharkov shook his head: "No, our order is to wait, unless there is an order given to us directly by the deputy division commander." Now, all of you close the safety of your weapons. ”
"Cut! Coward. ”
"Hey! Loznikov, what are you talking about ?! Kharkov heard the scolding behind this and immediately became angry.
"I mean, are you afraid? If you want me to say, let's take the initiative and take this group of Germans by surprise! ”
"Shut up! Loznikov, carry out the order. ”
However, Yang Mingzhi obviously overestimated the execution of this young man Kharkiv, many of whom had a blood feud with the German army. Now that the enemy is being attacked by adults, how can he stand idly by?
In this way, Yang Mingzhi didn't have time to care about those children at all, and Kharkov really couldn't control it, and more than 30 people led by Loznikov attacked without authorization. They quietly moved eastward, preparing to block the way for the Germans to retreat eastward.
In the meantime? The Germans also began to break through, Lawrence climbed out from under the car, and more than a hundred people were still alive in the regular convoy, and others were killed or wounded.
"Those who are still alive, all retreat! The wounded soldiers, the dead, and all the ammunition and food are gone! All retreat eastward! ”
There was a lot of smoke and dust on the battlefield, and Yang Mingzhi didn't see it really, but he saw that in the east of the ambush, a group of people were suddenly killed.
"It's the teenagers of the youth camp!" Yerenkina shouted in surprise.
"What? They? What the hell is that Kharkov doing? Yang Mingzhi was shouting, and he immediately ordered the bayonet charge to stop. Then, Kharkov actually ran in front of him.
Yang Mingzhi knew that the fighter plane was fleeting, and he angrily pinched the child's collar. "Why are you giving orders, you are sending your people to death again."
"Nope! I didn't give the order, it was Loznikov who attacked without permission, and many people followed him. ”
"You! If so, you can pull out your pistol and kill that person! Now, all the tactics have been disrupted! Yang Mingzhi shoved him to the ground, "Listen, if that person lives to the end of the battle, he will be disciplined on the battlefield." And you have to be responsible. ”
Yang Mingzhi quickly thought about what to do, and saw that part of the enemy had broken out of the fog of war, and at this moment, the soldiers of the two companies on the opposite side of the road had already begun to charge.
Originally, everyone should have rushed up and annihilated this enemy, but because of Yang Mingzhi's negligence, the enemy had an opportunity.
Lawrence led more than a hundred German soldiers to retreat eastward, and in front of them were actually more than thirty teenagers.
Loznikov and his guys, who were half-kneeling and opened fire on the retreating Germans, unfortunately there were too few of them.
This group of Germans is eager to flee for their lives, and even if it is a second-rate unit, the quality of the German army is still good, how can this group of underage teenagers and girls resist this group of professional soldiers with their enthusiasm?
German submachine guns fired at the young soldiers, and some of the men at the front were shot.
Death burst in, only a few were still shooting, and many simply hid in the grass. Therefore, the performance of the young soldiers in the first battle can be called a rabble, and Yang Mingzhi watched all this, and this scene was heartbreaking.
"Damn! You died in battle so simply, is that what you mean? You're still going to have to go through the training, and this battle was meant for you to watch! In anger, Yang Mingzhi flicked his hat: "Order, everyone, including all the militia, all charge!" We've got to save those kids! ”
He ordered the Heavy to stop firing, just because it was too easy to hurt his own people. Yang Mingzhi is not a cold-blooded person, what bullet can kill and injure his own people, and even more so can kill and injure the enemy.
It was also because of this order that the firepower behind the German army weakened, and the German soldiers quickly launched a counterattack. Shoot backwards and retreat.
Lawrence ran at the front, holding a pistol and shooting at the Soviet partisans who dared to block.
One shot later, a figure fell in their retreat, and Lawrence saw that the man he had shot was a woman, or rather a child.
Her blue eyes stared blankly at the sky, and there was blood at the corners of her mouth. "Could it be that these kids attacked me?" Lawrence hesitated, standing nervously on the battlefield.
"Battalion commander, go! We can escape! A soldier pulled Lawrence and ran.
Run away? Gotta run away! There were no obstacles ahead, and it was clear that the Soviet partisans were not running fast. He ordered the living to come in and throw away the superfluous, and the most important thing was to be able to survive.
Seeing that they were running farther and farther, Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to order the troops to stop the pursuit. He ordered several soldiers around him: "You take people to see the children who dare to stand in the way of the Germans, alive and dead, bring me back." ”
