Chapter 392: Pursuit of the Tchaikov Partisan Brigade
The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a hero, if the era is still in the era of line battles and queues to be shot, the strong soldiers of the Russians are its strong guarantee. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But in the twentieth century, fighting bayonets was very rare, because before a possible hand-to-hand fight, the automatic fire of the defending side could harvest countless heads.
The hand-to-hand fighting between the Soviets and the Germans finally came to an end, and the Germans fought to the end and all were killed. None of them surrendered, and because of the special nature of white-knuckle warfare, it was impossible for the Soviet army to accept its surrender.
The battle must be won and lost, and the losing side must be wiped out and all killed!
Balzen's face was covered in blood, and he gasped for breath, forming a white mist in the air. Who is alive and who is dead, the fog says it all.
Some of the warriors stood leaning against their rifles, their spears bent, their eyes bewildered, their eyes red with the killing. Covered in enemy blood, the uniforms were also torn, and some cotton lint popped out of the cracks.
There were also many people who sat on the ground, dressed in breath and did not say a word.
There are even some people who are still fighting the enemy. No! They were fighting with corpses, the German soldiers had been killed, and the Soviet soldiers were still stabbing them with daggers. What should have been a disgusting sight seemed normal to the red-eyed warrior.
When the fighting finally stopped, Lyudbalev breathed a sigh of relief: "The battle is really fierce, we have finally won!" ”
The mayor of Gomel had seen too much bloodshed, he had seen the massacres carried out by the Germans in the city of Gomel, he learned about the tragedy of the mistreatment of Soviet prisoners of war on the way to the war, and after meeting with the Tchaikov brigade, he learned about the German massacre of the village from the peasants who had fled in.
The smell of death spread throughout the occupied zone, and the German occupation forces could kill people without trial if they believed that someone was Jewish, Tsgang, or supportive of the Soviet Union. In this respect, the Wehrmacht had no shame, while the SS had no shame.
It was because he had seen too many deaths, and in the open area of the two forests that were not too large, and too many warriors had fallen, Lyudbalev remained calm.
He beckoned: "Everyone stand up, don't be afraid, our warriors have already dealt with the enemy." ”
This is addressed to the general public, including more than 200 women, children and wounded, who are non-combatants and are to be protected. They were not affected by the battle at all, but they were frightened by the tragic battlefield and the rustle of bullets.
Natasha also stood up, and she and Igor picked up all the bullet casings on the ground, some of which could be reloaded.
"Let's go, Natasha. It's time for us to play with the big forces. Igor twisted his neck and led the girl out of the forest. The two remained armed, and Igor was armed with a submachine gun, and he had to watch out for the cold guns of the dying enemy when he was loaded.
On the other hand, as soon as Balzen regained consciousness, he ordered the living: "Comrades, immediately clean up the battlefield and take away the living comrades!" Collect the enemy's weapons and ammunition, and immediately refill the dying enemy with a shot. ”
In hand-to-hand combat, the Germans were still dying, they were suffering the most from serious blood loss, and the Soviet army's mending knives and guns gave them a painful pleasure.
The surviving fighters dragged the wounded brothers away, and many even begged their comrades to give them a shot to end their suffering.
The wounded were taken away one after another, and some of the seriously wounded were obviously dying, and they had their last breath left, and simply said to Tchaikov, who came to inspect: "Captain, kill me." I can't live anymore, let me get rid of it quickly! ”
For Balzen, it was hard for him to endure this pain in his heart. Gunshots were heard frequently in the area where the wounded gathered, and the onlookers were silent as they saw the seriously wounded committing suicide.
With each shot, Balzen's heart tensed. These wounded were committing suicide with pistols, and no one wanted their men to die like this. However, they did not die, and it was a huge drag on the troops in the battle, and the wounded also knew this, and they generously chose to sacrifice.
When the last gunshot subsided, Barzen turned back regretfully and asked the grief-stricken Tchaikov: "Now that they are all dead, what will you do after that?" ”
"Bury them, I don't want my people to be in the wilderness."
"However, the enemy will surely come back soon, and we don't have much time!" Balzen reminded.
At this critical moment, Tchaikov could distinguish which was more important, the enemy would definitely come soon, the soldiers had suffered huge losses and could no longer fight, and the whole army had to evacuate from Mashan. At this time, the two saw Lyudbaryov passing through the open field with women, children and wounded.
"That's right! You're absolutely right, we have to get out of here! Tchaikov became anxious, "We can no longer afford big losses." Once all the soldiers are killed, so will our women and children! ”
The collection of ammunition came to an abrupt halt, and the lightly wounded were supported by soldiers to retreat. The battle lasted less than half an hour from the beginning to the end, the Soviets abandoned the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers, and the living finally broke through the road after this encounter and paid a huge price.
After this battle, the joy of battle did not exist at all, for no other reason, the price paid in this battle was too great.
Balzen ordered the whole army: "Everyone hurry up, if the enemy catches up, we will be annihilated!" ”
These words caused quite a commotion, the fighters did not want to fight anymore, and the non-combatants wanted to quickly escape from the land of right and wrong. People quickened their pace, moving farther and farther away from the battlefield.
Forty minutes after the Soviet retreat, the Germans arrived belatedly. For no other reason, the poor roads gave the armored vehicles great resistance, and as for the infantry, their speed was even slower. When the two teams arrived, all they saw were corpses on the ground and a bombed-out tank and armored vehicle, whose shattered body was still burning with flames.
This information was immediately reported to the 715th Division, and Schultz was aware of the situation at the first time. He and Swagger immediately found the approximate location of the battle on the map.
During the debriefing, Swagge identified a major problem, namely the dead Soviet soldiers, who were dressed in a complicated manner. Some were uniforms, some were ordinary peasant overcoats, and there were sporadic white cloaks and leggings.
Swagger suddenly thought of the previous report, "A partisan brigade of the enemy is approaching us, what is it called the Tchaikov brigade." This rabble is also very powerful, maybe they started this battle. ”
Schultz was so surprised that he immediately ordered his staff officers to bring in the previous information. He looked through it carefully and found some of the previous actions of this unit.
"You're right, it's a rabble." Schultz put down the material, "The most this group of bandits did was to attack our checkpoints, patrols, and blow up the railroad. In real battles, they rarely participated. ”
"This time they are so desperate, they must have made peace with the swamp guerrillas in the south!" Swagger asserted: "Maybe this group of Soviets is doing a big operation. Our army bombed them, and they came against us. The airfield was destroyed, and not only did their actions not stop. Perhaps meeting with another partisan detachment and bringing back to the swamp was their aim. Or maybe one of the purposes! ”
This inference was very reasonable, and Schultz stood up at once and said: "You mean to say that this group of enemies is going to continue south?!" ”
"That's right! Our airfield was attacked, and the army group must have been furious. Man, don't you want to make any more meritorious deeds and wash away our shame? ”
Schultz slowly smiled: "I think!" Hoffman and Freud wanted to be ashamed. It just so happens that we also need to let the newly arrived infantry go through the baptism of war, maybe that group of young men can become the mainstay of our 715th Division. ”
So, Scholz immediately ordered the pursuit, the tanks could not enter the forest, and the infantry immediately went south. Considering that they did not carry enough field equipment, the pursuit to the south must not have been very far. They were given the order to continue the pursuit for two hours, and to fire at the sight of the enemy.
He also reported the situation to his superiors, and orders were passed down almost immediately: the 715th Division sent two regiments, the 722nd Division sent two regiments to the south, and the newly formed 847th Division moved all the way to make up for the lack of troops, and established a defensive line on the Dnieper River from Khomnich to due east to intercept the enemy.
Neither Balzen nor Yang Mingzhi knew that the enemy had actually dispatched more than 10,000 people in retaliation! It's too rare, isn't it afraid of an attack on the line of communication?
But they did not know that because the road was temporarily closed, the German army group dared to carry out such a powerful operation.
There have always been three divisions on the front line of the road, the 715th Division, the 722nd Division and the 805th Division, and there is currently a new 847th Division. The total strength of these troops, which are mainly responsible for public security, is about 10,000, and the reason is that they are not field divisions, and the logistics force has been weakened a lot, and the number of soldiers fighting on the front line has not changed much.
The best soldiers are on the front line, Belarus belongs to the rear, and the second-class soldiers are prioritized in the war of law and order. The number of these troops is huge, and the actual combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
But in terms of squad firepower, the overall strength is also greatly reduced, and for this reason, the garrison in the south of Belarus does not hesitate to use heavy troops to encircle and suppress this exposed guerrilla force! After all, the Tchaikov partisan brigade has more than 1,000 troops, and it is also a very powerful force in the south of Belarus.
It was difficult for the Germans to destroy the enemy in the swamps, and it was still difficult to destroy this Tchaikov? The four infantry regiments went out en masse, and when they found the enemy, they swarmed to attack it, which was of course suspected of killing chickens with knives, but in the face of worse and worse law and order warfare, the Germans needed a big victory too much!
But they did not know that the Soviet troops in the swamps were also on a big move, and a new big war was about to break out! (To be continued.) )
