Three German regiments suffered a heavy blow and were forced to retreat north in order to join up with one of the intact German 722nd Divisions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Their superiors' estimates of the battle situation were very confusing, and the three regiments on the front had already realized that the enemy was extremely strong and stubborn. Worse still, it seems that the task of four regiments to encircle and suppress the Gomel city party committee and a guerrilla brigade in the Soviet Union is simply a trap.

At the headquarters of the 715th Division, reports of defeat from the front were completely unexpected by Schultz.

This time he didn't get angry, because the report of defeat also came from the ruins of Homnitch!

He immediately held a military meeting and called all the staff officers of the division headquarters. The middle-aged man's head was covered with beads of sweat as soon as he thought of another failure.

"Gentlemen! The offensive of our two regiments failed again, and the offensive was not only stopped by the enemy, but also forced to begin to retreat! This is our enemy, the 284th Infantry Division of the USSR, if intelligence is not wrong. Schultz digressed the topic, and now because the Germans found soldier ID on the corpses of Soviet soldiers, Schultz no longer simply refers to the enemy in the southern swamps as the "swamp guerrilla brigade".

They must have a formation, all combat effectiveness is good, and the military quality of the soldiers is jaw-dropping.

Scholz was unable to adapt to the changes in the situation during this time, and he had to regret that "we really underestimated our enemy. This 284th Division, if it is really them, according to the information previously obtained, the combat effectiveness of this unit is the most elite of the Soviets. We're fighting the enemy's strongest forces, and if we fail, we have some excuses. ”

The vast number of staff officers knew what kind of defeat was coming from the front, and in both theaters, both German units suffered serious setbacks! The enemy moves very quickly, and their aims seem to be very arrogant, and their arrogance has the capital in terms of results, and its combat purpose is actually to fight a war of annihilation.

Seeing that the old man's spirit was very depressed and his own psychology was not comfortable, Swagge comforted: "Division commander, you should not slack off, we really thought that the enemy only had a few hundred people in this battle because of intelligence problems. Now that they had dispatched thousands of men, the 284th Division must have committed all the forces of their remnants. So that we don't have to cut down all the forests and go to destroy them, the enemy has appeared, and we can fight a war of annihilation! ”

Hearing this, Schultz's mood was even worse.

"To annihilate them? It's a miracle that the enemy didn't annihilate us! There are 11,000 people in our division, and how many combat troops are there? The area we had to defend was huge, and now the two regiments were battered, their morale was on the verge of collapse, and the soldiers were exhausted. The regiments that remained behind could not move, and as for the combat battalions that the logistics troops had stepped up their training, we also lost two! That was defeated by a small force of the enemy! Schultz spoke loudly, venting his frustration.

His clenched fists pounded on the table, his mind already in a mess.

He said tremblingly: "We have taken the enemy very seriously, and as a result, we still greatly underestimate their strength. Our armoured forces were completely wiped out, and more than 2,000 people were killed in this battle, and with the number of missing people, our strength was severely damaged! Even so, the enemy's is simply carrying out a counteroffensive, and the military pressure on us is already too serious! Even if necessary, everyone present will take up arms and go to the front in person! ”

This is not alarmist, the Soviet troops in the swamps moved very quickly, and perhaps the attack on the division headquarters was also in their plans.

The expressions of the many staff officers became nervous, as if the danger was already on the horizon!

Swagger waved his hand to liven up the cold field a little more. "The Soviets are still pursuing our troops, and we are probably no match for them in the forest," he said. What the division commander just said is very reasonable, we should also mobilize, and if some of the enemy's troops run for a long distance, we must be prepared to meet them. ”

Schultz didn't have any good plans, so he had to pin his hopes on Swagger. So what good plan does this chief of staff have? He was also poor in donkey skills, because those troops were joined by the Soviet Union's 284th Division, and perhaps they were the remnants of this army.

And what about the German army, which was the enemy of it? The source of soldiers is also inferior, they are not front-line troops, their military literacy is average, and their will to fight and their technical and tactical level are very poor. Such a force would be more than enough to clean up the ordinary partisans, or to take action against the villagers who supported the Soviet Union. Against the enemy's elite troops, huge casualties are simply inevitable.

In the absence of a good strategy, Swagger and Schultz combined, and the two ordered the retreating Hoffman and Freud's troops to continue north! Even if you encounter friendly troops of the 722nd Division, you should no longer fight the Soviets, and in the event of a collapse of morale, ensuring that enough living forces can return to the station is the biggest task.

The order was transmitted by radio waves to the two evacuated regiments.

Hoffman and Floyd had joined forces, and the two remnants were struggling to advance through the forest. The survivors don't want to fight anymore, they have reached a state where all the grass and trees are soldiers. The two regiments counted the troops and were surprised to find that the total strength was just over 3,000! That is, in the previous battle, 1,800 people did not return to the team.

Most of them must have been killed in battle, and even if they were wounded, they would be killed by the enemy, which could be considered a death. In addition, I am afraid that I will get lost in the forest, or I will be physically and mentally exhausted and fall on the way to evacuate, and freeze to death due to the cold weather.

Even those who follow the team have to carry out the sudden attack on the enemy at all times. The Germans were very wise, because Yang Mingzhi decided not to wait for Yevlov and Roshakov, and his troops, after reducing the wounded soldiers, five battalions continued to pursue north.

The Soviet army also suffered many casualties, and each of the five battalions was severely reduced, and the troops led by Yang Mingzhi were only a little more than 2,000. The physical and mental condition of the Soviet soldiers was also not good, and the long-term combat life made people more and more numb. So much so that people did not bother to cover their ears when they heard the dense gunfire.

Yang Mingzhi also keenly noticed that his beloved sniper, Natasha, must have been tired from her shoulders after so many days of desperate fighting, maybe she could see bruises when she pulled her clothes apart.

The day after the end of the war, the Germans were heading north, as were the Soviets. During this night's rest, star fruit and Natasha slept well. In fact, they should sleep for a few days and take care of their bodies. However, after a few hours, the whole army still had to move, and after this night's sleep, many people's spirits improved a lot.

But Natasha walked a little shaky, which was caused by her sore arms and not being able to shake them well. And his wife, star fruit, was still holding her sisters, they seemed to be saying something, and Natasha's cheeks had a wry smile.

"You two stop!" Yang Mingzhi stopped the two of them.

"Alas! Brother, you are not at the head of the team and command the whole army. Is there a new task for both of us? Star fruit tilted her head and deliberately showed off a hint of cuteness.

Both girls were smiling, and the cute appearance could not hide their tiredness.

Yang Mingzhi shook his head, "It's really hard for you!" Especially you, Natasha! I think you've got a shoulder injury. ”

The girl immediately denied it, and of course Yang Mingzhi did not give up.

"Natasha! You're lying! ”

"Nope! Sir, I can keep fighting! ”

This is simply proof that she is really hurt. In order to prove his judgment, Yang Mingzhi ordered: "Honey, now stretch out your right arm and flatten, hold on for me for a minute, and prove that there is no problem with your shoulder!" ”

Natasha's heart tightened, but she did as she was told. (To be continued.) )
