Unaware of the imminent arrival of a massive Soviet counteroffensive, the young German fighters were able to capture Soviet fortifications, the first major victory for most of them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle is over, and Cliburn finally rounds up with the friendly forces that have arrived after hearing the news.

"It's terrible! We almost made a big swing, hoping that my bullets didn't hit your fighters. "Clayburn was actually very unhappy, he thought that the military merits for occupying the Soviet camp were all his, but he met friendly troops, and it is not clear how to divide these credits.

Another battalion commander, Schumacher, was in a good mood, his own casualties on the offensive were small, and the positions of the Soviet troops were quickly defeated.

His success until the attack may have been more due to friendly forces, but he didn't want to be humble. "Thankfully, your shots aren't accurate, or maybe my fighters are better at dodging bullets."

"I think you're good at dodging! My guys are very good marksmanship. "Cleburn doesn't say much, after all, he is a comrade-in-arms of the same infantry division.

The three main regiments of the 707th Division were also in competition with each other, and in the current situation, the regiment of Lothaim suffered unbearable casualties, and such an outcome was too sudden. But two infantry battalions found the Soviet camp in the forest and occupied it, which was enough to make a difference.

Cliburn did not talk to his comrades, so he ordered his men to immediately count the casualties and crush the two wounded prisoners. He said arrogantly to his colleague Schumacher: "Look at these two Soviets, they were captured by our battalion, and they can be regarded as my biggest harvest in this battle." With the confessions of these two people, our army also knows what the enemy is doing today. ”

Look at him, and then look at yourself, compared to the capture of the prisoner, the little material captured is really impossible to worry about. Schumacher couldn't help but be envious, but he didn't admire it in his heart, and there was a knife hidden in his smiling face: "It's still your people's luck." These Soviets are not easy to catch, they either run away or die in battle, not to mention that in this battle you let some enemies run away, I really don't know if the troops you are pursuing can annihilate those people. ”

"Of course my hunters will drive their prey to death."

Clayburn was very displeased, after all, there were indeed enemies who fled, and this guy was right. He quickly retorted, "Didn't you get involved? You are also responsible for letting the prey escape, the large army of the Soviets was blown to ashes by our artillery fire, and the rest of the people should have been eliminated by our joint efforts. ”

"Huh? Do you think I'm slow to reinforce? Again, didn't we search separately before? If you contact our battalion before launching an attack and formulate an attack plan to organize an encirclement, will the Soviets be able to escape? Now they blame us for coming. ”

Of course, Cliburn is not here to quarrel, anyway, this Schumacher is also his own colleague, and the future battles will be friendly.

He took out a cigarette on the ground, and the two men stopped bickering. The task of cleaning up the battlefield was ordered, the count of the booty was underway, and the Russian-speaking warriors were interrogating the two captives.

When the results of the statistics came out, the Germans would report the results of the battle to their division headquarters, and before that, the two battalion commanders had to lean on the big trees to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, and by the way check the captured Soviet supplies.

In the eyes of the two, it is not surprising that these Soviet troops were very average in weaponry, and they were also using Mauser rifles, but the bullets used by other Mosinagan were very chic. The warhead is rounded, surrounded by grooves, and the center seems to be infused with soft metal.

Other grenades, with a large number of yellow metal fragments glued to the warhead, are so designed for self-evident.

Strange weapons may be able to gain a certain tactical advantage, after all, some carving insect tricks, Clayburn did not pay too much attention, he ordered people to look at these trophies.

The most important thing for the Germans to do now is to consolidate the positions they have just occupied, but who can believe that the Soviets still have a large force and are actively preparing for a counterattack?

After a while, the results of the casualties were counted.

The soldier in charge of the statistics reported the data to Cliburn, and to his surprise, his battalion had suffered one-tenth of the casualties in the battle, and the Soviet corpses found were also fifty. The corpses of these Soviet troops are all normal soldiers, but unfortunately many of them are injured.

"Hell! We fought against a crippled enemy, and we outnumbered them several times, and as a result I suffered fifty casualties? ”

Excited, Cleburn grabbed the warrior by the collar and nearly lifted him up.

But that's how it turned out. If the battalion commander didn't believe that he could check it out for himself, we lost twenty of us killed, and the remaining thirty were wounded to varying degrees. ”

There was no point in lying, and soon the results of Schumacher's casualties also came out. Schumacher fared much better than his colleagues, losing 10 killed and 20 wounded.

It was still close to the German positions, and the wounded could be quickly sent back to the field hospital for treatment.

As far as the result is concerned, Schumacher still accepted the result, patted his colleague on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be sad, obviously the Soviets have been wiped out more, and we have taken the enemy's camp at the cost of only thirty men." ”

Cliburn still did not show the joy of victory, he waved his hand: "Forget it, our fighters die here, if they die on the front line, forget it, this is Belarus, and we are even more of a bandit army." Even if our enemies are very combat-ready, they are a bunch of bandits. ”

Until now, in fact, the mentality of most of the German army has not changed, and the enemies of these infantry divisions responsible for security in the occupied areas are partisans, and they cannot fight against the real Soviet regular army, which makes the proud gentlemen of the Third Reich feel no sense of honor.

Cliburn sighed and said to his colleagues: "Today's wartime is the most complicated we have experienced in some time. Lothaim's regiment had been fighting with these Soviets for a long time, and it turned into a terrible battle, and I really don't know what the Soviets were doing. There are still a lot of planes passing by today, and the smoke of the air raids has not cleared, and now I can only hope that the two prisoners of war can honestly explain what they are doing. ”

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon. Maybe the Soviets were supplying the guerrillas by air, but I've heard that in other areas, Soviet planes did drop explosives and guns on our territory to support the guerrillas in their sabotage. ”

Cliburn was shocked: "It's very likely, the Soviets have too many planes, and they can't figure out how to support these damn guerrillas with massive airdrops." ”

“Achtung！ These dead Soviets are their 284th Infantry Division, our damned old enemies. Now it's up to the interpreters in your battalion to get what kind of information they can get, and hopefully the enemy isn't supported by air. ”

……

The two hoped that things would turn out in a good direction, that is, the Soviet fleet was simply passing by. Unfortunately, Cliburn finally figured out what the Soviets were doing by noon on March 30 who had infiltrated the edge of the German position.

Cliburn and Schumacher repeatedly questioned the soldier in charge of the interrogation, and the soldier vouched for his personality, "The Soviets are massively airdropping not only a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food on our enemy, but also the most elite paratrooper brigade." Those two guys shouted even more, saying that our army was about to be wiped out! ”

In addition to being amazed, the two battalion commanders were more unthankful. "What a catastrophe, how many people they airdropped in, it just made the swamp a bunch of toads, a bunch of marmots. Can they still turn the sky around? Out of the swamp they are nothing! ”

Clayburn said this, but he couldn't stand scrutiny, you must know that there were many German troops defeated by the Soviets, and the presence of this number of troops anywhere was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

To make matters worse, both Cliburn and Schumacher misinterpreted the meaning of the last sentence of the captive, saying that the so-called destruction was not the 707th Division, but their two infantry regiments, and the furious Soviet army had begun a large-scale roundabout operation.
