The waiting time was very long, especially when there was a fierce gunfire not far away, and I was here from the other side to watch the fire.

Xiao Mubai patted the shoulder of the soldier next to him, this soldier was very young and young, he looked like a student, only about twenty years old, and the rank on the collar badge was private.

The soldier was visibly nervous, his body stiffened, the tip of his nose constantly sweating, and he was staring closely at the intersection.

"Young man, don't worry, the German devils still have a long time, and when they shoot later, they will be regarded as killing pigs, which is very simple, so relax." Xiao Mubai smiled, took out a cigarette and smoked slowly.

The young soldier nodded, Xiao Mubai didn't know if he heard it, so he didn't pay attention to him anymore, but his eyes were empty, thinking about the task.

This task is obviously not simple, the resistance is twenty-four hours, combat and non-combat attrition cannot exceed two-thirds, surrender cannot exceed one-third, casualties cannot exceed one-third. These are all requirements for soldiers, not directly to Xiao Mubai. If it was Xiao Mubai alone, it would be simple.

When the gunfire outside the town ended, it meant that the resistance of the second platoon was over, and everyone was on alert and staring closely at the intersection.

Time passed little by little, and the intersection finally drove the Germans over. An armored car opened the way in front, and next to it were German soldiers with rifles, and one by one they walked in.

The armored car drove over with a sense of oppression, and Xiao Mubai was very worried about Joseph and whether they could resist the pressure.

The German soldiers were vigilant and looked around carefully. At this time, the ambushed Josef Ban suddenly opened fire, and the 7.92 mm bullet was fired at the German soldiers. There were also prepared grenades, all thrown in one go.

Caught off guard, the soldiers in front of the German army were shot one after another and fell to the ground. At this time, the armored car shifted direction, and the on-board machine gun pressed towards Joseph Ban.

In just a few tens of seconds, the Germans redeployed and reversed direction and rushed towards Josef Ban. Joseph Ban was still holding on, and by this time he had already lost two soldiers, both of whom were hit by vehicle-mounted machine guns.

The second squad suddenly opened fire from the windows on both sides of the roadway, throwing out several grenades, and the German soldiers were defenseless and damaged in an instant. The second squad suddenly opened fire to save the first squad, and the first squad calmly retreated, leaving two corpses behind and evacuating with the wounded on their backs.

The armored car's on-board machine gun could not turn around, and the German squad platoon general-purpose machine gun acted as heavy firepower, and the bullets hit the windows, and glass shards and earth chips fell.

The Polish soldiers used light machine guns and rifles, and they were unable to lift their heads in front of the German general-purpose machine guns. At this time, the German commander deployed in time and ordered the soldiers to enter the civilian houses, and the Polish soldiers were in danger.

The third squad opened fire just in time, attracting part of the German troops.

The retreat was in batches, and the soldiers were hungry, but had to keep up with the pace of evacuation under the pursuit of the Germans. Disengagement, maneuver quickly, and fight and retreat, this is the tactic used by Xiao Mubai.

In the field battle, the troops should be concentrated, and in the street battle, the troops should be dispersed, but Xiao Mubai was very worried about whether the Polish army would have the courage to resist in the face of the strong firepower of the German army, and did not choose to surrender.

You know, before the First World War, this land was called West Prussia, which was the territory of Germany, and the inhabitants here were all Germanic, and the older residents were German nationals before the First World War, and these young soldiers were all from this region, and only God knows how much they identified with Poland as a country.

Rog Ravitch was a Germanic, a former West Prussian. His mother was German and his father was German, both of whom were the sons of Kaiser Wilhelm II. And Xiao Mubai noticed the hesitation in Rogge's heart as a Polish officer, how to do it if one side was his own nation and the other side was his own country. This reminded Xiao Mubai of Outer Mongolia, and the relationship between Mongolia and the Mongolian people in Inner Mongolia, China, in later generations, was so complicated.

Xiao Mubai retreated with his hungry soldiers, and when he retreated to the middle of the town, he encountered a row of dusty teammates. The first platoon suffered heavy losses, the platoon commander was shot and killed, and the defense line collapsed. The whole platoon of soldiers was scattered, some surrendered, and the other retreated to the town.

Xiao Mubai listened to the platoon of soldiers and knew that the platoon was over, and there was no morale, and the number could be revoked directly in this situation.

Xiao Mubai was silent, when the enemy is too strong, not everyone has the courage to resist, the strength of the enemy makes people feel hopeless, there is nothing wrong with surrendering, because that kind of resistance is purely an egg hitting a stone, purely self-defeating.

Isn't there a saying that "those who know the times are handsome", "wise and self-protecting" or something, isn't that what you say? Wang Jingwei could save the country, Petain could form Vichy France, why couldn't they surrender?

Despite this, Xiao Mubai was still disappointed.

Xiao Mubai gathered the rout, planning to report to Mokwei and then reorganize.

Xiao Mubai noticed that the soldiers were hungry and had no strength, and knew that they had to replenish food as soon as possible, otherwise a large-scale escape would be inevitable.

Xiao Mubai has lost contact with Mokwi, so now these people are fighting alone. Unable to contact Mo Kewei, Xiao Mubai had no choice but to order to withdraw to the barracks.

The barracks were covered by German artillery fire and were badly damaged. When Xiao Mubai arrived, he had already become unshaped, the wooden planks were burning, only jet-black charcoal remained, the walls collapsed, and the earth fell to the ground. Barracks, weapons and ammunition depots, and munitions reserves were not spared.

The soldiers were looking for scattered food to satisfy their hunger, if it was in peacetime, such food would definitely not be eaten, but now the Germans are eyeing the tiger, life is in danger, no one can maintain an elegant posture to chew slowly, some are gobbling up.

But how can this little food be enough?

The sporadic sound of firefighting in the distance reminded the Polish soldiers that their situation was not good. When Xiao Mubai replenished his food, he noticed that the spare basement warehouse was intact, but it was crushed by dirt and stones.

"Come here, this is the underground warehouse, open this."

The soldiers gathered one after another, and with great difficulty, moved away, and then the underground warehouse was opened, revealing the contents stored inside, and the morning sun shone on it, and the Polish soldiers could see it clearly, and their eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

Xiao Mubai quickly ordered: "Now I order, everyone should bring enough food and ammunition and retreat to the woods next to it." ”

Everyone brought their things with them, and then Xiao Mubai ordered to retreat to the woods. The small town of Astrovi is inhabited along the highway and is divided into southeast and northeast. To the southeast there is a narrow strip of woods, about fifteen kilometres long and three kilometres wide, which is an excellent concealment position.

Xiao Mubai's plan is to go to the woods, which is not suitable for German armored vehicles, only for infantry, and is most suitable for the Polish army at this stage. Taizu's guerrilla tactics are not the best, the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and we disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue, these 16-character tips can be fully used.

A lot of time had already been consumed during the meal in the barracks, and during this time the Germans were likely to occupy most of the alley areas, so it was dangerous to stay in the town.

Xiao Mubai took the whole platoon and began to march towards the woods southeast of the town of Astrovi. The Germans broke through from the west, Yastrovy was the first to face in the east, and the southeast could avoid the German front, and the German tanks and armored vehicles in the woods no longer had an advantage.

The battle began at 5:50, and although it seemed that the battle had been going on for a long time, it was actually only a few hours, and it was just after ten o'clock.

In order to break through the German defense line, Xiao Mubai had to break through the encirclement in a scattered manner, so as not to encounter a large German army. As the retreat proceeded, the inhabitants of the small town along the road could be seen, who seemed to have no reaction to the war, as if they had seen their homes again.

However, the Germans were faster than expected.

Xiao Mubai and Joseph were together, and when they turned the block, they saw German soldiers searching for them. This road is the only way to get to the woods, and if you don't take a detour here, it will be more complicated, and no one knows if there are German troops elsewhere.

Xiao Mubai looked at it, the number of German troops was not large, it was an infantry squad, only ten people, an MG34 general-purpose machine gun, an MP38 submachine gun, and a few K98 Mauser rifles.

Joseph was eager to try and looked at Xiao Mubai. Xiao Mubai read his eyes and could try to attack. His side replenished a platoon of defeated troops, and now there are more than 20 people, and it is not without the strength of a battle. But in this case, once the gun is fired, it will attract the attention of the German army, and then the German army will come to the rescue and round up the Polish army. This did not match Xiao Mubai's plan, but Xiao Mubai had no choice but to fight.

At the sound of an order, the battle began in an instant.
