Chapter Ninety-Three: An Encounter with the German Army in Qingxiang
A hundred fighters of the reconnaissance company were commanded by the company commander Balzen, who were attached to the 2nd regiment, which was precisely the unit of the previous special anti-tank battalion.
Yang Mingzhi gave the reconnaissance company an important mission, that is, to pay attention to the surrounding wind and grass at any time. Now this vanguard has discovered the Germans, and even worse, these Germans are killing people.
Having discovered the enemy, Balzen decided to obey the orders of his commander. "None of you can act rashly, and even if we want to fight, we will have to wait until the big forces catch up."
The hundred men of the reconnaissance company dispersed, and Balzen ordered the second and third platoons to lead the two flanks to make a detour to encircle the village in the forest as much as possible.
Balzen looked at his watch, the large army was marching in a hurry at the moment, and they would be here in about ten minutes. Time was of the essence, and he ordered the fighters to turn on the safety of their weapons and be ready for battle at any time.
The machine guns, rifles, muzzles of the reconnaissance company were already aimed at those Germans, and no one dared to shoot without the orders of the commanders, even if the Germans were killing.
Through the telescope, Balzen saw the Germans gathering the villagers together. The enemy set up a makeshift gallows - big trees. The rope was still in the tree, and a dozen annoying people had just been roped around their necks. They had their feet on the stools, and as soon as the German soldiers on this side kicked them hard, the death penalty began.
It was a very sadistic scene, and the soldiers were watching the enemy slaughter their compatriots.
"Company commander! Let's fight! Otherwise, it will be too late! A warrior roared under his breath.
"Wait for me! Everyone, don't act rashly! We have to obey orders! Balzen said indignantly. At the same time, he was praying in his heart that it was better for these German devils to do nothing, and it was better to move slowly.
He could see through the binoculars a couple of guys dressed as officers, obviously shouting something. The German soldiers gathered more than a hundred villagers together and were talking to them.
Balzen noticed that people had been hanged, and that the dead were hanging listlessly by the neck, like dead fish hanging from their lips, and that the rest of the people waiting to be executed were shivering.
Suddenly, all the fighters noticed, two German soldiers kicked down the stool, and two poor men fell violently, both with hemp ropes around their necks, and they were trembling wildly.
In this situation, the enemy killed people in front of the Soviet soldiers, and the Soviet soldiers had to obey the order to continue to lie in ambush in the forest, and the grief-stricken Balzen could only pound the ground in anger, and in his heart he had cursed the Nazis countless times.
"Company commander! Let's fight! Otherwise, they'll have to keep killing! The warrior continued to plead.
"Hit? We have to obey the commands! ”
"But the enemy will kill all of us!"
Hearing this, Balzen couldn't hold back his emotions. He noticed that the soldiers around him all had sad and angry expressions. Looking at the time again, the large army is coming, and they must be fighting immediately when they arrive.
Not far away, the enemy was still killing, and Balzen made a difficult decision. "Order the troops, open fire on the enemy. Light and heavy firepower is fully deployed! ”
As soon as the order was given, the fighters understood that they opened fire almost simultaneously. Dense fire came from three drops, light machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns, and bullets rained down.
The Germans who entered the village were stunned for a while, and in the moment of the engagement, the Germans paid a lot of casualties. The machine-gun positions they had set up were the first to be attacked, and the bullets rained down, and the German machine gunners could only lie in their bunkers and fire blindly around them with impunity.
The crazy Soviet soldiers did not give the Germans any chance, and the firepower projection ability of the two companies of German infantry was indeed inferior to that of this Soviet reconnaissance company.
To make matters worse, the reconnaissance company also carried secret weapons. The Germans watched in amazement, a mysterious weapon with a white tail flying out of the forest, and everywhere it went, there was an explosion, although its power was only equivalent to a grenade, but its flight speed was so fast that several machine gun positions had no chance to move at all.
A German officer was shot in the head by a sniper at the first moment, and the rest of the German army instinctively lay on the ground. In the confusion, the hanging could not be continued, and the enraged German officer ordered the soldiers to open fire on the villagers.
"Can't give that person a chance! Shoot him right now! Balzen ordered, and the snipers beside him immediately adjusted their aim.
In desperation, a German machine gunner was already firing at the villagers, and although this person was quickly killed, the villagers were also killed and wounded.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the forest, and Yang Mingzhi was taken aback. "Damn! The battle has broken out, and those guys simply did not listen to orders! "Angry and helpless, because the gunfire is very close, it must be entering the battlefield soon.
"Guard company, you follow me! 1st Battalion Commander Rav Lian Ti, your three companies are in an inverted triangle formation, and we are going to surround the battlefield! ”
After the order was issued, Yang Mingzhi personally commanded the guard company and ran wildly, and his own Bobosha was always ready for battle. The large army was about to enter the battle, and at this moment, Yang Mingzhi couldn't care if his wife and Natasha had caught up, and he rushed to the front first. Such a move encouraged the fighters to run even more wildly, and in less than five minutes, the guard company was engaged in battle.
Balzen knew that he had made the mistake of not following his command, he had already seen the deputy division commander Berekov himself, and had received real orders. "Reconnaissance company, you guys are going to charge with the big force now!" So Balzen didn't care so much.
The trumpet of the charge sounded, and the Soviet troops of eight hundred men charged from three directions, and the fighters shouted Ulla, and tongues of fire were gushing from the muzzles of their guns.
During the battle, the secret weapon suddenly appears, and after the secondary shooter lights the fuse, the rocket erupts after a delay of two seconds.
The Germans, already beaten and leaderless, were close to two hundred men in strength, and had suffered a heavy blow in the initial engagement, due to their concentration too closely. Now they choose to flee, only to be blown up by a rocket that catches up.
"Ulla! Davarich! Guard company, follow me and continue to charge, don't let the enemy escape! Yang Mingzhi led the troops to attack on a different path, and the large army also entered the village.
The fighters moved very quickly, and the soldiers did not care about casualties when charging, and the enemy's counterattack firepower was not strong.
About fifty or so of the enemy fled to the north, which was also forested but not stopped by the Soviets. They must not be allowed to escape, and the enemy will be alerted in case of leakage. Therefore, Yang Mingzhi led his troops to carry out a tactical detour, "All soldiers, temporarily abandon your bottles and cans, we must cut off the enemy's retreat in the shortest possible time." ”
Soviet soldiers wrote their units and names on their bags, and some even wrote their blood type. These measures were mainly for the soldiers to distinguish their equipment, so that the temporary discarding would not prevent them from being searched for for a while.
The fighters had only one gun and bullets left, and they could run faster than the German soldiers with their bags on their backs.
Yang Mingzhi led his troops to suddenly appear in front of the fleeing German army, and to make matters worse, these German soldiers suffered a special "feast". Yang Mingzhi ordered the troops to use grenades first, and more than a hundred grenades made in the blacksmith village were thrown. Under intensive use, most of the grenades exploded. The black powder reload was not very powerful, but it inflicted a lot of casualties on the enemy due to its dense throwing.
The Germans were so stunned by the bombing that they forgot for a while how to fight back. Yang Mingzhi will never give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Soldiers, follow me!" Ulla! ”
Yang Mingzhi became more and more courageous the more he fought, his Bobosha spewed tongues of fire, and the dense barrage turned this group of German troops into a hornet's nest.
When a person's eyes are red, life and death seem to matter anymore, and at this moment the warrior has only one thought in his mind - violence. As if soldiers were born to kill, some of the soldiers in the guard company ran out of submachine gun bullets, and they did not hesitate to pull out the daggers pinned to their legs and throw them into hand-to-hand combat.
But the white-knuckle battle soon ended, and the Germans were completely unable to stop the Soviet army descending like a tiger. The dagger pierced the enemy's body, and the soldiers picked up the enemy's guns to continue the fight, and the K98, which had run out of bullets, was used as a club.
Because it was an encounter, Yang Mingzhi did not specify a detailed battle plan at all, and he did not even require "catching alive". Therefore, for the wounded and sick of the German army, the soldiers who killed the red eyes continued to mend their knives, as if they did not want to leave a living mouth at all.
Yang Mingzhi quickly eliminated the fleeing group of enemies, and the powerful firepower was indeed as he estimated, completely pressing the enemy. Now he led a company of guards with no casualties back to the village.
The battle ended in just ten minutes after the arrival of the large forces. Soon, more troops came out of the forest, and more than 2,000 Soviet soldiers with loaded guns poured into this small forest village, which gave a great shock to the surviving villagers.
