In the melee, Wolf was unable to report the details of the battle to his superiors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Florid's received the information, and he couldn't even figure out the situation at all.

He immediately stood in front of the map table at the division headquarters, staring at the updated position of the army.

"The remnants of two regiments of the 715th Division, as well as our Ludwig regiment, they are being transferred! The enemy is in pursuit so fast? The combat strength is very strong, Wolf's intelligence is vague, they are already retreating! The chief of staff replied to the division commander.

"Yes, I know. But yesterday they were separated from those three regiments, and today they are fighting with the enemy's pursuers, which I can understand. They told me that a reinforced regiment of 3,000 people could not stop the enemy's attack! ”

"Perhaps we have long underestimated the enemy's combat effectiveness. Their number was revealed, and the 284th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army received the title of Guards when we stormed Minsk, but this unit did not withdraw to the interior of the Soviet Union, let alone be wiped out! They and the enemy who had escaped the encirclement headed south, and then mysteriously disappeared. The SS did not annihilate them as reported. The chief of staff knelt nervously on the table: "If they stay in the Pripet swamp, then we have been fighting this army for a long time!" This is the elite troops, and the only one that can explain the failure of our operation. ”

"So our Wolf is under siege by the remnants of this division! How many of them are there? ”

"I don't know." The chief of staff said regretfully.

"If you don't know, go investigate, I want to know who we're fighting against! Now we should continue to contact Wolf. ”

However, the 722nd Division could not get in touch with Wolf in the breakthrough at all, and they seemed to have entered radio silence, in fact, the real reason was that the soldiers with the radio on their backs were pierced along with the radio!

Yang Mingzhi knows what kind of enemy is the most valuable, except for the officers and machine gunners, it is these guys who control the radio. He personally sabotaged two radio stations and also sniped the man carrying the radio on his back.

Wolf didn't care so much, and retreated east with the last 1,400 men.

The Soviets' Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov were in the north and south, advancing along the forest, and Roshakov pursued in the west, and the three armies formed an offensive concave and pursued the enemy eastward.

Bullets were fired from the forest, and these blows were not accurate, but completely prevented the possibility of the enemy's advance towards the forest.

Yang Mingzhi himself marched with the army and shot from time to time.

"The battle is going according to my plan, the enemy will not enter the forest, they can only walk along the forest plain until the bank of the big river!" Yang Mingzhi was full of confidence in his own words, and this speech also made star fruit very pleased.

At this time, Wolf only knew that going east seemed to be the only safe direction, and the two armies chased one after the other, and after ten kilometers of wild running, the road ended.

In front of Wolf was a wetland, where the snow and ice had melted a lot, and there were small ponds everywhere. These ponds are connected by small waterways, and there are some yellowish vegetation on the mud floor around the ponds. The wetland is about 200 meters long, and in Xiangdong is the Dnieper River!

"Hell! It's a dead end! It was only then that Wolf understood why the enemy was just in hot pursuit, and that he was trying to drive the entire infantry regiment to a desperate situation.

This is not a normal mode of war at all, and if you look at the soldiers who are tired because of the wild running, the sense of failure arises spontaneously.

Fourteen hundred men crowded along the riverbank, the enemy pursued them fiercely, gunfire rang out one after another, and from time to time unlucky soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

The entire German camp was in disarray, and most of the people were overwhelmed by this dilemma. The vast majority of these soldiers have never participated in regular combat, let alone are psychologically prepared to participate in bloody battles. Half of the 3,000-strong contingent remained, and in such a desperate situation, people could only put all their hopes on Wolf.

The three main battalions under the command of this regiment still exist, that is, the first battalion suffered the greatest blow, and there are only more than 100 people left at the moment!

Without hesitation, the battalion commander asked Wolf: "Regiment commander!" What do we do now? Is it to organize a defense on the spot, or to find a way to continue the breakthrough? ”

"Breakout? Where do we break through, do we want everyone to jump into the river and swim to the other side of the river? Wolf grumbled, and suddenly, he remembered what had happened to the Nicolas armored battalion of the 715th Division before! Immediately, he understood the vicious nature of the enemy's tactics, and said viciously: "The enemy is like Satan, this group of barbarians who are Mongols in their bones, just want us to jump into the river!" The river is 500 meters wide, and the water is close to freezing! Most of the fighters will drown due to loss of strength and body temperature, and even if they swim to the other side alive, they will freeze to death and frostbite from the cold! ”

"What then?" The battalion commander looked embarrassed, "Can we only fight with our backs to the river?" ”

"That's right! We have no way out, and we will definitely die if we swim in this climate! If I had to die, I would decide to die! ”

Wolf made his statement, and he also wanted the fighters to make their own decisions.

Some of them, boasting that they were good at the water, immediately suggested to the regimental commander the possibility of swimming, but Wolf, who had drawn his pistol, held him to the head, and then a gunshot rang out.

This move immediately shocked the army in chaos, and many soldiers who were undressing were stunned on the spot.

Wolff, who was bloodied, turned around and said to all the soldiers: "Gentlemen! This deserter has been shot by me, is there anyone else who wants to escape? If there was a fugitive who was going to wade into the water, I shot him immediately. ”

Those who still wanted to persuade the chief to calm down, and at this moment Wolf continued to shout: "We now have our backs to the river, and it seems that we can cross the river safely." In fact, this is a conspiracy of the enemy, the river is cold and biting, and which of you is confident that you can swim 500 meters in the icy water? As a Teutonic warrior, only death in battle is honorable, just drown in the river, where is the honor? I have decided to die here, and you must obey me! ”

Wolf also knows the truth of life after death, in fact, there is no way back at all.

The majority of soldiers did not dare to disobey the orders of their commanders, and the act of shooting deserters directly stabilized the morale of the army, and history repeated itself on this riverside. Last time, Nicklaus only led ninety people to organize the direction, and was naturally crushed by the Soviet army with superior forces in one go. Now with 1,400 men, Wolf quickly organized a new direction, believing that if he delayed as long as he could, it would be possible for his troops to escape and ascend to heaven when night fell.

Yang Mingzhi, who was in pursuit, didn't think that the enemy would obediently jump into the water like a lemming at the beginning, and the enemy had a high chance of fighting on his back. After his observations, the enemy began to build fortifications, and the soldiers armed with rifles did not have time to dig foxholes, so they simply lay on the ground and built the defensive line.

The machine gunners quickly began firing in all directions, and some of the overly charged Soviet fighters paid with their lives.

If you rely only on the onslaught of soldiers in this way, you will inevitably pay huge casualties. Yang Mingzhi immediately sent a report to Yevlov and Roshakov: "The enemy has begun to fight against the water, and they have not dived!" The tide of the battle has changed, we gather our troops and launch a fierce attack when the artillery arrives! (To be continued.) )
