The officers and men of the 722nd Division quickly found the real camp of the Soviet troops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because it was a hasty retreat, a lot of miscellaneous items were still left here, such as the still warm campfires and scattered canned beef boxes. Each canned food box was marked with German, and the German soldiers who picked it up were so familiar with it, they had the same goods in their backpacks at this time!

Obviously, the Soviets looted the German army's munitions, which further illustrates the exact identity of this group of Soviet troops.

In addition to this, Safir was surprised to find a number of dead people, who, judging by the nondescript clothes they were wearing, were Soviet soldiers.

The bodies were lifted by German soldiers and placed in a row side by side. Safir pinched his waist and said with a puzzled face: "What's the matter with these people, wearing our shirts, their cotton clothes on the outside, and the shoes are also ours. ”

"Don't you know, Safir, that these poor guerrillas have a habit of stripping off the clothes of the dead?" Buffalo, the battalion commander, reminded, "Since the time of Tsarist Russia, Russian soldiers have always behaved like a group of bandits, and robbery is their habit. But seeing these corpses, I think they have to take the necessities from our fallen soldiers, otherwise nature will kill them. ”

"Maybe! The enemy has fled in large numbers, and we should continue the pursuit! ”

"But the enemy is in the forest, and we are indeed inferior to them in terms of fighting in the forest. Are we going to wait for the people of the 707 Division? ”

"Waiting for them? Those cowards?! Safir's anger was at first hearing this, and he pointed to the north, "Do you think that I spoke to them politely before and looked up to them?" Of course I would have changed my attitude if they had behaved like predatory tigers in this assault, but unfortunately this is a bunch of fools who just want us to fight and die in front of us, and they will sit back and enjoy the results. ”

Of course, Buffalo will not say anything good about the 707th Division, but from a realistic point of view, it is indeed a matter of attacking the other side with the German soldiers head-on with the Soviet army, which is good at forest warfare. He decisively suggested: "In any case, the enemy's whereabouts cannot escape the noses of a dozen hunting dogs of our troops. But it really shouldn't be for us to be in the vanguard, we have Estonians, and this group of people hates the USSR as much as we do. If you don't know how their fighting enthusiasm will bring incredible results! ”

"That's a solution!" Safir ordered on the spot, and Hendrik's Estonian Eastern Volunteers opened the way ahead, with the Germans following closely behind.

The 722nd Division remained in the Soviet camp for only ten minutes, and a new pursuit began

……

Meanwhile, Balzen was running wild in the forest, like everyone else.

He has been calling for everyone to speed up the retreat, but these days the fighting is too frequent, the huge physical exertion requires a lot of food to replenish, and enough sleep to relax the muscles, which is a pity that these are not available.

All the soldiers are overloaded with their body organs, and even if the soldiers have undergone rigorous armed cross-country training on weekdays, the human body has a limit after all.

There were more than 600 people under Balzen's command, and more than 100 others disappeared into the forest and were still missing. Tokov's men did succeed in breaking through, but they did not make peace with the main forces. Balzen was still convinced that the hundred brothers must be rushing towards the ruins of Homnitsch, but in a slightly different direction.

The warriors advanced as fast as they could, and they soon reached the edge of the forest.

At this moment, the morning fog cleared somewhat, the sun rose, and the whole land was shrouded in golden light.

Balzen breathed a sigh of relief, the sun was so sunny, there were no clouds in the sky, and it must be a warm and sunny day today. When the weather was good, Balzen raised his submachine gun and gave an order: "Comrades, follow me through this small plain, we will enter another forest, and when we get there, we will continue to advance!" ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to move forward, many people muttered. Some of the girls in the camp simply sat on the ground and complained, "When are we going to go, our legs will be broken if we go on like this." ”

Of course, the physical strength of female soldiers is not as good as that of male soldiers, not to mention that these are all children. The current situation of male soldiers is not very good, everyone is barely holding on with their sturdy bodies, although they are very dissatisfied in their hearts, what can they do?

Seeing that the troops paused slightly, Carambola leaned against a tree without hesitation, carried her rifle on her waist, and untied the kettle and poured it in a big gulp.

This water is received from the stream, and even if it is boiled, it still smells of mud, and it has to be drunk if it is unpleasant.

The only thing that the girl is thankful for is that as a Chinese, they popularized the habit of boiling water to this group of old hairy people, and they always felt that this was too much, until they found out that after doing so, they did not have to worry about drinking wild water to have diarrhea.

The warriors were tired, and Ravlendi approached Balzen and said: "Although we are very good at fighting, our physical strength is really limited, and if we continue to run, we will be swaying like lost dogs, and it is better to fight than to do that." ”

In fact, why didn't Balzen want to fight? Fighting will also be divided into occasions, and I am afraid that the troops will not be able to continue fighting in the current situation.

Whether to fight or continue to withdraw, perhaps we should listen to what the fighters mean.

Balzen turned around and asked the exhausted fighters: "Comrades, are you very tired?" ”

He paused, but only a small voice said that he was not tired.

"That's it! I get it all! I get it all! Then let me ask you again, if we defend on the spot, are you willing to fight the enemy? Even if we may have to face many enemies in this battle? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the men shouted the word "battle" at the top of his voice, and then the sound of Ulla resounded through the forest, and the birds flew in shock.

This roar was also heard by the pursuing Germans, and Safir was greatly surprised, and the Germans began to speed up the pursuit.

……

"Now that you see it, I know you want as many of our troops as possible to withdraw, and the war really can't be exactly what we want. The comrades' idea was simple: it was better to stop and fight the enemy than to flee like a lost dog. Lavrenti continued.

At this time, Balzen finally strengthened his conviction and ordered: "Comrades! The enemy is in pursuit, and we can no longer retreat. He pointed to the south: "There is Novgomel, and our large forces urgently need time to assemble." It is clear that the enemy is on the offensive for a new round! We are the first line of action against them, and if we escape, who will defend Novgomel? Who will defend our people?

Now obey my orders, pass through the plain in front of us, and we will enter the forest opposite, where we will form a defensive line, set up all the machine guns, and block all the incoming enemies! ”
