Chapter 352: RPGs on both sides
Three other soldiers survived due to serious injuries, and these three warriors became the last of the warriors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the artillery and the second platoon were withdrawn, the three continued to fight until they kept the last bullets for themselves. It was also because of their sacrifice that the Germans who entered the forest were given a full ten minutes of containment, which was enough for Balzen's troops to retreat.
More than 400 German troops entered the forest, and behind them were tanks and assault guns.
These heavy armored vehicles are large enough to crush trees, but this will greatly slow down their propulsion. Therefore, as soon as these commanders are combined, it is impossible to pursue them head-on, and it is more appropriate to attack in a roundabout way.
The Germans had just been subjected to heavy bombardment, and their counterattack was just as fierce. Now the Germans had three infantry battalions participating in the siege, and in order to prevent the Soviets from slipping away in troubled waters, they organized a long line of troops, like a big net, to eat the enemy in the encirclement.
Balzen ordered the troops to advance in a northeasterly direction, unbeknownst to them, and on its front there would also be encounters with German troops.
Due to the consumption of some ammunition, the load of the troops was somewhat lighter. Half of the sleds were abandoned, quite a few tents were abandoned, and the warriors carried their precious blankets behind their backs.
Because it is a battle, everyone must forget about the exhaustion of the body. Originally, it was planned to rest this afternoon, but when the war came, everyone could only continue to sneak in the forest, knowing that night was falling.
However, the pursuing Germans still had two hounds!
They found the dead Soviet soldiers, whose striking feature was that the legs of all the corpses were tied with sackcloth. These Germans were very surprised, they had seen such Soviet soldiers, they were "swamp partisans"!
In the distance, the headquarters of the 715th Division, Schultz and Swagger, as well as a large number of staff officers, waited for news from the front. Now, when the information came back, Scholz was taken aback.
"They're the enemies of the swamp! It's terrible that we actually destroyed five tanks! Their combat effectiveness is so strong, three battalions are pursuing them, is it too weak in combat effectiveness? ”
Swagger shook his head and replied to the division commander: "This information shows that the enemy does not have many troops. Even if they have powerful weapons, we are not bad. It is said that they used rocket-boosted grenades, which we also have. They blew up our tanks with this, and that's understandable. Ours can blow them up just as well. Swagger said, leaning his hands on the table, "Gentlemen, now we have to see whose rocket is more powerful." ”
Yes, these three German infantry battalions, they and Balzen's troops were relatively similar in this point. Each infantry company has an RPG, and this latest weapon is used in the war, and the intensity of the war is even stronger!
Directly in front of Balzen, more than six hundred troops formed a wide skirmish line of one kilometer long. Their purpose in doing this is like a "trawler's net", in order to increase the probability of contact, as long as there is a little firefight, the large army can go closer.
The commander of this German battalion, Svering, was originally the logistics unit of the 715th Division. Originally, his combat strength was low, but after the defeat in December, his people urgently underwent rigorous training and became a new capable soldier. In addition to the placement of veterans among the soldiers, the weaponry has also been improved. This unit was armed with submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns that were doubled to the level of the main force. Even better, the most advanced RPGs are also equipped.
A company has three RPG groups, each carrying ten projectiles and a spare launcher. When necessary, they can instantly turn into six groups, and the power of the salvo can be imagined.
But this point, Balzen, Yang Mingzhi and others are ignorant and unprepared.
The further Balzen's troops went, the greater the danger. He thinks it's a safe direction, but he's hitting a wall.
Suddenly, there was a lot of gunfire in the woods! Balzen's spearhead men met the Germans, and the two groups were very close to each other, and a fierce gun battle broke out at a distance of only fifty meters.
Balzen immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he personally picked up his submachine gun and advanced.
Although there were only more than 100 troops, everyone still advanced according to the traditional three-three system. Three people in a battle group, one squad in three groups, the troops immediately set up a regular triangle battle formation and moved forward.
And the Germans, they heard the gunfire and immediately rallied to this side.
Balzen yelled, "RPG hand! Give me a wave straight ahead! ”
However, the Germans took the lead. Their rocket-propelled grenades smashed first, one hitting a tree and instantly blowing it off, and the other fell to the ground, blowing up a combat group on the fly.
Frightened, Balzen didn't think much about it, and a few seconds later, his RPG was launched. The Germans on the front suffered a heavy blow, after all, this guy of seventy mm caliber had an overdose of built-in explosives. The explosion created an absolute damage zone with a radius of twenty meters, shrunnel flew sideways, and three grenades swept a frontal area of fifty meters, and the Germans in it were either killed or wounded, and their combat capability was gone.
There were also white trails of rockets floating in the air, and these Soviet troops also revealed their positions. Twenty seconds later, the German RPG was launched towards the place where the smoke was rising. Thanks to the quick hiding, the RPG men of the Soviet army were fine, and the poor two soldiers were injured in this bombardment.
At the same time, recoilless guns and mortars quickly set up positions, and after a minute of reinforcements between the two armies, they were engaged in battle.
In the midst of the battle, Natasha remained calm and steady. She was like the White Grim Reaper, every bullet could hit an enemy.
The girl was very smart, she could feel that the troops were under very strong fire at this time, and in this case, it was better to wound the enemy. The bullet hit the German shooter's arm with precision, and a single bullet was enough to break the bone.
Therefore, on the other side of the German army, in the fierce battle, they became more and more aware that they were being overwhelmed by mysterious forces. There is a very terrible enemy, he does not kill, he goes specifically to hit people's arms. Many of their comrades had fallen on the battlefield, and more than a dozen of them were wailing, and the arteries of their broken arms were spurting blood, and the blood stained the snow red.
These poor men were their comrades-in-arms, the rules of the Wehrmacht, but they asked the soldiers to help the wounded. As a result, many soldiers risked their lives to try to pull the wounded away, only to be shot in a hail of bullets.
This was not necessarily Natasha herself, some of them were shot in the legs, some in the buttocks, and the Germans were wounded more and more.
A smile appeared on Balzen's lips, and he patted the back of the girl next to him excitedly. "You girl is so witty, the more wounded they have, the more people they have to treat! The firepower in front of us will slowly thin out. Keep up the good work, my dear. ”
However, as soon as these words of encouragement passed, the German RPG was once again powerful.
They seized these weapons from the Soviet Union and immediately began to copy them, because of the use of more advanced propellants, which made the rocket only blue, translucent black smoke when launched and flown off. And because of the use of black powder in the Soviet army, the white smoke is too obvious.
The German battalion commander Svering immediately ordered all his men to concentrate in the direction of the battalion headquarters and drive the Soviets they encountered in the direction of the road. As a result, Balzen found his right flank increasingly fired.
"They're armed with the same weapons as us! The entire force was transferred. Natasha, try to find their RPG shooters and take them out! ”
The Chief's order was a bit of a hassle to complete, and Natasha and the others had begun to continue the battle to the north. Mortars cover the retreat, and the recoilless guns have all been dismantled and transferred.
From time to time, Natasha stopped and turned to shoot back, her eyesight was good, looking for this particular foe in the crevices of the tree trunk.
Because when the German RPG shoots, the same launcher is carried on the shoulder, and its target is large.
The Germans were still bombarding, and the battalion commander Sverin ordered that all the rocket-propelled grenades equipped with the battalion be exhausted, as long as the Soviet army was driven to the road, because there friendly tanks and assault guns could quickly catch up!
Finally, the agile girl found a damn RPG, and she immediately leaned against a large tree and held her gun steadily on her knees. With a slight pull of the trigger, the enemy who was about to fire was hit. Its RPG was still launched, but it just flew into the blue sky.
In terms of the speed of running in the forest, the Germans could not catch up with Balzen, and even if they carried a lot of baggage, they still could not catch up.
In order to quickly get out of the battle, Balzen ordered to abandon all sleds, and without these burdens, the warriors marched faster.
But it's not clear to Balzen that this is a trap! The battle was fierce, he could no longer care so much, and the whole army had only one goal - to cross the road. (To be continued.) )
