Chapter 428: Ruins Encounter
Hoffman led the Floyd regiment in the evacuation, he became the commander of both armies, and successfully counterattacked to break through the Soviet blockade. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if this blockade was the road that Yang Mingzhi deliberately let go, the Soviet army did not continue to pursue after that.
The battle gradually came to an end, leaving the enemy with nothing but a mess left behind.
Yang Mingzhi did not hold a gun or even throw a hat and cheer like many fighters. He ordered: "Everyone immediately check their equipment and inspect the entire battlefield." Kill the enemy's wounded mercilessly, and collect what can be used on the corpses! "The order was passed on to ten, ten, and hundred, and everyone took action.
The soldiers were well aware of the good things on the Germans, leather shoes, belts, marching bags and military supplies inside, and some even pried open the mouths of the corpses to see if there were big gold teeth.
Yang Mingzhi had no opinion at all, because the living materials were too scarce, and it was not surprising that this group of soldiers had been reduced to "beggars" and looted everything of value.
He sat down on the ground to rest, and ordered the radioman to send a telegram to the battlefield, and the same order to gather supplies was conveyed.
This time the battle was considered a success, and Vasilyev was overjoyed, although the battle did not completely annihilate the two regiments, and forcing them to reduce their strength by half was a great victory.
The joy of victory was written on everyone's face, and they forgot for a moment that the battle was not over.
Yang Mingzhi, who was resting, wiped his submachine gun, and the two girls sat directly beside him with rifles on their backs.
The expressions of these two are reserved, but their handsome faces are a little more soot.
Natasha tilted her head: "Sir, this time the two of us have eliminated more than a dozen enemies, and the results have been recorded by Igor." What do you think? We still need to improve our record! ”
"Of course, we have to record the results." The stone in Yang Mingzhi's heart was finally put down, he looked at the two of them with affection, and couldn't help sighing: "You guys, it's best to be safe and sound." In the future, we should be cautious and cautious. ”
Carambola naturally nodded obediently, but Natasha pursed her mouth and played a petty role. She said: "Sir, don't worry very much, we are very good soldiers, and as soldiers, we still have to take it as our responsibility to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”
"That's just as well. Now you also have something to eat and check your weapons and equipment, because the battle is not over. ”
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but turn his head to the west, and said to himself: "Roshakov's troops should occupy strategic points. Two regiments of the enemy's 722nd Division, where are you? ”
So where exactly are they?
They're fighting!
This day was destined to be a day of battle, and battle had turned into a battle. The two regiments of the German 722nd Division, carrying logistical baggage wagons and horse-drawn field guns, these heavy weapons and equipment slowed down the march, they advanced according to normal standards, and each soldier was in good spirits.
The Ludwig regiment, one of the three main regiments of the 722nd Division, was advancing towards Homnich, after all, it was a typical landmark. The regiment was only on the way, they had no idea that the Soviets' Roshakov division was also thinking about the Khomnich advance, and even less that just east of them, two regiments of the friendly 715th Division were engaged with the Soviets.
Early in the morning, the Ludwig regiment proceeded in a step-by-step manner, until their vanguard reconnaissance unit encountered a strange group of men, and a shootout broke out.
The so-called strange person was none other than the reconnaissance company sent by Roshakov. Such a reconnaissance company is nothing more than an ordinary infantry company, whose duty is to be a pioneer and early warning, and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Balzen's troops, which have evolved into "elite death squads".
The reconnaissance forces of the two sides were not inferior in strength, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the Germans were slightly superior.
There were many casualties in the moment of the conflict, after all, the two armies were fighting in the field here in the ruins. Former craters and the few ruins that still exist have been used as bunkers, with bullets flying over the heads of both sides, and occasionally those who have been shot have died.
The information of the battle was immediately reported by radio to the large forces in the distance, and both sides did so, and as their respective regimental commanders, Roshakov and Ludwig were greatly surprised by the appearance of the other!
"I really let the division guess correctly, and I really met the enemy!" Roshakov immediately ordered his troops to fight.
The Soviets had four battalions, two of which were experienced in combat, and the rest were a little worse. Especially in the Sashanova women's barracks, these women are really involved in the battle for the first time, and nervousness is inevitable.
The battalions advanced in battle formation, and Roshakov, hoping for the superior mobility of his troops, took the enemy by surprise when they were not on a firm foothold. The Soviet fighters were also carrying out the action, shouting for the Ula Group charge.
And the Germans were immediately ready for battle, and they advanced in a skirmish. Its field artillery was also deployed at maximum speed, and when the front-line troops were already engaged in the ruins of Homnich, the shells flew over!
This is different from ordinary mortar shells, and its fierce and sharp hissing worries the fighting soldiers - the shells fly over their heads!
On another battlefield, Yang Mingzhi's troops attacked the marching Floyd regiment with captured Krupp field guns. On this side, it is true that the Germans attacked the Soviet troops! The shelling bothered Roshakov so much that he was horrified to find that his rear was no longer safe.
"What the hell! Why do they carry field guns!? If I continue to fight like this, I will lose a lot! "Roshakov is very contradictory now, because the fighting has already begun, and it is impossible to want a unilateral pause!
The Soviets also have powerful weapons, and those recoilless guns and RPGs give the enemy a lot of damage. In close combat, the Germans were frequently blown up by sudden shells!
And that's not all, a large number of grenades were thrown into battle, and once the engagement distance was only fifty meters, the firepower of the shot was no longer enough! Each fighter carries four grenades, which are used in clusters in special cases. When a large number of grenades explode around the enemy, the flying fragmentation barrage creates a terrifying killing space.
The German field artillery opened fire one after another, and there were constant casualties in the charging crowd, and even female soldiers were killed and wounded!
The war had forced women to fight as well, and the men were furious at the sight of the tragedy of their women's casualties.
Anger has been ignited, and a temporary retreat for fear of casualties will cause morale to collapse. Roshakov gritted his teeth and gave everyone a death order: "There is only one direction in which the Soviet Red Army runs!" That's the enemy position! The battle was either killed or won, and the deserters were to be executed immediately. ”
It is impossible to say that there are no deserters, the enemy's machine guns are breathing fire, and the attacking soldiers are being shot one after another. Especially in the face of artillery fire, many people simply ran to the nearby forest!
At this time, the grassroots political commissars did not do it, they took on the duties of the field gendarmes and the supervision team, and immediately enforced battlefield discipline against deserters!
Seeing this, the cowardly people did not dare to flee anymore, and they cut off the back road and strengthened their faith, shouting Ulla, holding rifles with four-edged military thorns, and fiercely attacking the enemy. (To be continued.) )
