Chapter 649: The Oriental Camp That Collapsed at the Touch of a Button
Balzen calmly withdrew with a large force, they carried out the order in full, took all the wounded who were still alive, and also emptied their own "arms warehouse", leaving only a part of the ammunition for Tokov. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, Tokov's more than 100 men were not short of ammunition, and they had already recovered hundreds of corpses left behind by the Germans.
It is very strange to say that the fighters are already very familiar with the MG34 machine guns of the German army, and everyone already knows how to operate the so-called most elite troops. However, there were nine machine guns captured, but none of them were this.
In fact, these machine guns are no stranger to everyone, the Czech-made ZB26 light machine gun, including the attached spare barrel. The old MG13 machine gun of the German army. The former is almost an automatic rifle, and the latter is an old gun. The Soviets did not pick and choose, at least these weapons were not damaged in battle, and the enemy could beat them violently when they came.
"Everyone is actively preparing for the battle, and we must hold this position and delay as much time as possible." Tokov's orders were carried out without fear.
Everyone believes in their own strength, and they will definitely be able to beat the enemy violently. However, the disparity in strength is placed here, and the Soviet army is not afraid of a frontal attack by the enemy, but is worried that they will outflank them from the left and right.
If you die in battle, you will die without regrets, not to mention that the flames on this battlefield are still burning, and the corpses lying on the ground have no time to clean up. Hundreds of Soviet soldiers were already lying here, and many more German soldiers were buried with them.
Everyone was fighting in the sea of corpses and blood, this was the most feared and bleak scene, and under the pressure of the battle, these more than 100 warriors were not afraid.
After gathering ammunition, the fighters who felt that everything was ready sat in the trenches, smoked and rested, or hurried to eat some canned German food.
What if you don't have sandbags? The corpses of the dead Germans are the best. With the machine gunners on bipods, flanked by the corpses of the enemy lying on their sides, their gray and hideous faces and hollow eyes facing the north, if the Germans attacked, they would directly see the terrible fate of their fallen compatriots, and perhaps they would be so shocked that they would be in chaos.
In fact, the Soviet soldiers were also very unlucky to look at the dead Germans, saying that everyone was heartless and calmly waiting for the enemy's attack, which was impossible, in fact, everyone suppressed the tension in their hearts, they all knew that the German reinforcements were on the way, and I was afraid that the battle would break out in a few minutes.
And what about the German army as the attacker?
Two battalions of regular infantry, two battalions of the East, these troops completed the rendezvous in the forest, and encountered the withdrawn Cleburn on the way to the march.
When they saw a large crowd of people rushing down, they set up their machine guns and fired at them almost immediately.
The German troops who withdrew were also like frightened birds, as if these people were still Soviet troops.
The inevitable outbreak of the Battle of Oolong is not the first time that this kind of internal friction among the Germans has occurred. Unlike in the past, when the two armies fought more and more happily, resulting in a large number of senseless tragedies, this time Clayburn's troops were too tired to exchange fire for long. However, the attacking enemy was quickly withdrawn.
Clayburn fears more massive casualties among his own people, not to mention that he has to take care of leading Schumacher and his subordinates who have already died.
As reinforcements, the two German infantry battalions, the battalion commanders, Speer and Drach, each ordered their own Eastern Battalion to take the lead.
Therefore, this group of former Soviet soldiers who had not had time to change into German uniforms regained their senses and joined the attack again after a surprise attack, and Cliburn was even more convinced that this was a group of Soviets.
But the clumsy combat effectiveness of these guys really made the soldiers of Cleburn, who were terrified in their hearts, suspicious, that this group of people was really Soviet soldiers with their virtue of collapsing at the touch of a button? It has to be said that at least in the war, this kind of collective flight behavior can indeed avoid large casualties.
In fact, the two Eastern battalions, one of which was Polish and the other Belarusian, were both commanded by Germans. Even so, these officers could not stop the retreat of the troops, and thousands of them withdrew, and a breath of defeat spread.
"No more! My group of Poles is not ready for a big war at all! These enemies are powerful. The commander of the Polish battalion, Fleiler, gasped and complained to his colleague Speer.
Unfortunately, Speer didn't buy it. "Forget it, your people are simply about to collapse at the touch of a button, in fact, I understand the reason for this. We are all Germans and do not need to be responsible for the defeat of the Poles. If they had been heroic, we would not have been able to occupy Warsaw in a month. ā
"That's just as well, so what do you do next?"
Speer waved his hand and said: "Although these oriental volunteers of ours say that they volunteer to serve us, in fact, in my opinion, this is just a means for prisoners of war to survive. They are not loyal to us at all, but to their own stomachs. As long as we continue to give them food, they will fight for us. There is no shame in this group of people, since they are traitors to the Soviet army, they can also be traitors to us. It's a bunch of botched mercenaries! ā
Fleiler didn't like to hear this, "Anyway, I'm now the battalion commander of this group of clumsy mercenaries, and you say this group of people so badly, how can I feel embarrassed?" ā
"I'm sorry, but I'm going too far. But there are some things that you and I all understand, and it is really a chore for your superiors to let you be an officer of this group of people. I'll take care of the rest! ā
Speer quickly made contact with his colleague Drach, and the two sides flanked the enemy. The two Eastern Battalions, which had poor combat effectiveness, were still in the center. A team of more than 2,000 men spread out a wide net and rushed towards Cliben, but the battle ended in a very short time.
Speer never expected that his people would report that it was a misunderstanding. Because Cliburn's machine gunners were shouting German slogans to embolden themselves while firing. The peculiar sense of hoarseness in German made the attacking troops listen to it directly, and the soldiers on both sides roared a few times, and everyone actually spoke to each other like this.
Since you found out that they are all your own people, why do you want to fire again?
Speer and Drach rushed over at once, and they really saw their colleagues.
"My God, how did your camp become such a virtuous deed, you are covered in dust, it is terrible." Speer was greatly surprised, he knew that Clayburn, a comrade-in-arms of the same regiment, had gone to outflank the Soviets, but he did not expect them to be so badly defeated.
Seeing this man in front of him, Drach immediately asked, "What about Schumacher?" Where is that person? And where are his troops? ā
Clayburn, who was panting because of excitement, still raised his finger nervously and pointed casually: "These people are Schumacher's troops!" That friend of mine was so unlucky! The Soviets were very vicious, their snipers were very strong, and Schumacher himself died on the spot, half of his head was cut off. ā
Clayburn was not stingy with words, he described the battlefield, and the two officers, involuntarily touched their heads.
