In desperation, Nicklaus instinctively fled, he didn't have time to think about it, the direction of his escape was simply a dead end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now Yang Mingzhi has figured out the reality of the enemy, and their forces are so small that the attacking troops can completely annihilate them.

After only an hour of fighting, the German front collapsed. The destroyed armored vehicles were burning, and the Soviets did not stop and continued the pursuit.

The German camp also fell, the defenders were completely annihilated, and Ninelly and Vasiliyev even captured enemy trucks, including gasoline barrels on them.

Their field artillery positions fell one after another, and the results of these two battalions were not insignificant. The Germans, having lost their artillery, simply lost everything!

"We can use their artillery and bombard them!" Ninelli had a flash of inspiration, and this time he was leading some of Doronin's artillery.

Five field guns fell into the hands of the Soviets, and some of Doronin's men knew how to use them, after all, these veterans boasted to the new brothers that they had served the 152 Great Pipe eight months ago.

So on the way of the German retreat, they were suddenly attacked by artillery fire.

Nicklaus heard the whistling of cannonballs, and when he looked back, he saw that his artillery had also been caught in a nest.

"What the hell! Hurry up and get out of here! He ordered the driver to jerk the throttle, and he himself clung to the jeep, and even then he almost fell off from the jolt.

Not all soldiers were so lucky, and some climbed into tanks in order to get out of the battlefield as quickly as possible. Some got into jeeps that had escaped from the camp.

Pity those who climb tanks, even the Germans are counterattacking with RPGs, and in a panic it is difficult to deal a decisive blow to the attacking Soviet troops. On the contrary, the German army's armored targets were very obvious, and its large body made the RPG easier to hit.

Yang Mingzhi even ordered the recoilless artillery group to speed up its advance, establish a new position, and continue to bombard the enemy.

"I command all of you not to be afraid of blowing up your own people. Let the fighters advance against our artillery fire, and let the enemy rush towards the river. Yang Mingzhi ordered the artillery to hurry up, and after the new position was set up, the teams immediately adjusted their angles.

This weapon has a maximum range of two kilometers, and it still retains its combat effectiveness when firing at small angles.

The shells fired one after another, and a large amount of smoke burst out from the position, as if returning to the battlefield of Borodino more than a hundred years ago. In that battle, the Russian army and the French army fought a decisive battle in the wilderness, and the two sides fought a tragic hand-to-hand combat.

In this battle, the Soviet troops were also bayonet, and the wounded Germans were wailing, and they were soon met with the Soviet soldiers who had caught up. In this battle, Yang Mingzhi didn't think about living, after all, killing an army equipped with a large number of armored vehicles is an unprecedented benefit to the 284th Division, which is still in a difficult situation.

Nicklaus estimated that he had lost almost sixty percent of his troops, and that anyone who was shot or wounded would soon die.

He really only had more than 400 people left, and the morale of this army had collapsed, and everyone was running away frantically. But everyone did not dare to flee into the forest, God knows what ambush would be there.

And the data won't let his mother do this, Yang Mingzhi's troops presented a huge concave formation, and the German army was in the center.

These Germans are not good runners, and their desire to survive drives them to do things they simply can't do on their own. Along the way, in order to march lightly, ordinary soldiers abandoned their equipment, and even so, the Soviets still caught up with them little by little.

Bullets came from three directions, and one by one the fleeing half-track armored vehicles broke down for no other reason, and the anti-tank rushed to break its engine. The machine gunners on the roof of their cars had no choice, and their frantic machine gun fire was quickly annihilated by the fearless Soviet soldiers.

The pursuit began at nine o'clock, and the pursuit was still going on for an hour.

By half past ten, the fastest German troops, such as Niklaus and his jeeps, had reached the banks of the Dnieper. Looking at the sparkling river, all the soldiers were in despair.

Nicklaus was asked, "What can I do?" Are we going to swim across the river? ”

"But even if a man can swim through, the tank can't get through!"

……

People were gossiping, and soldiers were coming one after another from behind, and in the distance, everyone could still hear the terrifying sound of Ulla.

Nicklaus sat on the ground in a trance, and he didn't understand why he had been defeated so suddenly. From the early hours of the morning to now, the entire defense line has been easily breached, and even the elite armored troops have been easily crushed by the enemy.

"Battalion commander! What are we going to do?! "A tankman came close to slapping Nicklaus.

With this roar, Niklaus can be regarded as sobering up, looking at the Dnieper River in front of him, he can only think of one way.

He asked the people around him, "Do you all know how to swim?" ”

Most of them answered in the affirmative, but some people understood the chief's thoughts and immediately questioned them.

"Battalion commander, this water is too cold. It's still winter in Russia, and if we rush into the water, if the Russians don't attack us, we will freeze to death first. ”

"Then because the water is too cold, we can't go into the water." Nicklaus stood up, and he made up his mind: "Gentlemen, I can't swim to tell you the truth. I won't force you now, those who are willing to die in battle will stick to me here, and those who are willing to go into the water will quickly take off your clothes. I'm here to cover for you. Don't expect to surrender and be spared by them, we will only die a miserable death if we fall into the hands of the Russians. ”

Suddenly, a tragic mood spread among the soldiers. Some men came forward with rifles, some of them were landlubbers, and some of them didn't want to be cowards who escaped even if they knew how to water.

For others, the situation is different, they have taken off their coats, and even their belts have been thrown away.

In the south of Belarus in February, daytime temperatures of four or five degrees are common, and the water temperature of the Dnieper River is one or two degrees. People with no experience in winter swimming will quickly lose their body temperature in such low temperatures, and eventually their muscles will stiffen and sink to the bottom of the river. However, many people only thought about retreating, and in the end, only one company of people remained.

Nicklaus wanted to curse, but he was very helpless. He looked back at the undressed men and shook his head helplessly. "Run, as long as you're lucky enough to swim across the river, you'll be safe, but I'm going to die here."

He counted the last of his troops, and there were only ninety left, and there were five tanks and assault guns combined. Such a unit was still able to withstand the Soviet army for some time. He no longer cared about those who only wanted to flee for their lives, so he held a rifle high and gave the rest of the warriors an air.

"Gentlemen! This is our last battle! We have to show the courage of a Germanic man, we have the Dnieper behind us, and we have the last battle of our lives with our backs to the river. We must prove our loyalty with practical actions! siegheil！ ”

“heil！ heil！ heil！ The German soldiers let out their last cry, but the slogan was quickly drowned out in the shouts of the Soviets. (To be continued.) )
