Chapter 519: Captive
As soon as the Soviet glider landed, it caused a riot, and the Soviet soldiers did not have many other skills, and there was no shortage of soldiers who were not afraid of death and did not want to die, and about half of their gliders failed to land normally, that is to say, many gliders crashed into buildings or ruins, but even so, the wounded Soviet soldiers still crawled out of it and killed indiscriminately, even if it was the Soviet civilians who stood in front of them.
The most feared thing in the night battle is the infiltration of the enemy, even if the troops are not many, but this kind of fight is a bit chaotic, just like the troops of the Soviet army that attacked the east bank of Holm before were infiltrated into the rear by the Germans using tunnels.
However, it should be said that infiltration warfare still has a great deal to do with quality, and troops with poor quality often become a mess as soon as they are infiltrated, and troops with good quality will be able to stabilize their form.
The Germans were clearly the latter, and to be precise, the Germans still had a strict internal and external division of labor in Holm, with the internal being managed by the police force and the external defence being defended by the Wehrmacht. There is even some discord between the police force and the F-FDTL, with the two looking down on each other, so the line is clear.
If this is put elsewhere, it is obviously not a good thing, it is not united enough.
But there are two sides to everything, and this situation enabled the German army to deal well with the infiltration of the Soviet army...... The vast majority of gliders land in the defense area of the police force, so chaos is also chaos in the police force, and the Wehrmacht should fight how to fight, but what needs to be paid attention to is to arrange a team of people in the rear to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.
As a result, the Soviet infiltration warfare was always limited to a controllable range, and although some Soviet infiltrators were not cleared until dawn, the impact was not great.
Of course, this was also expected by Pukaev, and he did not pin his hopes on these infiltrators.
Just as the gliders caused a riot in Holm, several more gliders swooped down from the night sky and landed near the school.
It was more of a crash than a "landing", because there was simply no suitable landing site at the school...... Schools in this era did not have large playgrounds like modern schools, only a vacant lot was left in front of the school, and this open space was also built with swings and slides as a place for students to move, and when the glider landed, they hit these things one by one and then became a pile of scrap metal in the first place. Two of them also crashed into the school wall and knocked them out of two large holes.
But these are exactly what the Soviets wanted, or it can be said that they knew that there would be such a situation and a result...... Soviet reconnaissance planes had already made a clear reconnaissance of the terrain during the day.
However, these gliders still have to land here.
The reason is nothing else, because these gliders are not carrying people, but equipment, weapons and equipment for Soviet prisoners...... Gliders may be damaged, but rifles, bullets, and grenades are not so easily damaged, and they can even spill out of the broken body by impact, making it easier for Soviet prisoners to pick up.
As for the life and death of the pilot, then there is no need to think too much.
Objectively speaking, Pukaev did this as a last resort...... It was almost impossible to airdrop enough weapons and ammunition to the school in the dark, just as it was difficult for the Germans to airdrop supplies, even during the day, let alone near the school.
So they have only one option, and that is with a glider.
Only gliders were able to accurately bring a large amount of weaponry to the school, and there were even two gliders that could break through the walls for the captives.
The Soviet prisoners, who had been preparing for a long time, could not help but cheer when they saw this, and poured out of the collapsed wall like a flood that burst the embankment.
Matevich followed the ranks and shouted: "Pick up your weapons, comrades, the time has come to prove to Comrade Stalin that you are here, defeat the fascists for freedom, and let us return to the bosom of the Motherland!" ”
Matevich's words were very useful to the Soviet troops, and the Soviet soldiers rushed to the wreckage of the glider like chickens, scrambling for the weapons and equipment scattered on the ground, and immediately led them into the darkness and charged at the barbed wire fence where the German police forces were stationed on the periphery.
But......
What they didn't know was that the line was no longer manned by the police force.
With a sound of "Teng", several searchlights lit up outside the school, illuminating the school in a snow-white light, and the Soviet troops who were struggling with weapons and equipment couldn't help but stop their movements and look at the periphery in horror, but they couldn't see anything in the dazzling light.
Matevich immediately sensed that the situation was not good, because it seemed to indicate that the Germans were prepared.
Sure enough, a jerky Russian shout came from the loudspeaker: "Hello, Soviet soldiers! Parachuting equipment into a glider is a great idea, perfect to be exact, but unfortunately we were prepared for it. Now, lay down your weapons and walk out with your hands up, or ...... You know what's going to happen! ”
Several Soviet soldiers raised their hands in horror, and they didn't even have time to grab their weapons.
But after a few gunshots, the Soviet soldiers were knocked to the ground.
It was Matevic who fired the shot, and he believed that there could be no mercy at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't trust them!" "You know, the Germans are short on troops, listen to the gunfire, our troops are attacking Holm with all their might, and they are not capable of stopping us!" Take up your weapons, fight for Stalin, fight for the Motherland, defeat these fascists! ”
"For Stalin, for the Soviets!"
……
The Soviet soldiers shouted and rushed to the German lines, and those who picked up weapons fired indiscriminately at the perimeter with their guns raised.
But none of this helped, because Qin Chuan had already transferred all the more than ten tanks captured from the Soviet army here, and now he was surrounding these Soviet prisoners in a circle.
Of course, the Soviet prisoners did not find these tanks, otherwise they might have chosen to lay down their arms.
"Fire!"
As Qin Chuan gave an order, the Germans pulled the trigger on the Soviet prisoners who rushed towards them.
Bullets from rifles and machine guns were nothing, because the flames from tank guns obscured their light in the first place...... The tank was aimed at the location of the glider, where a large group of Soviet troops was snatching weapons.
As soon as the cannon sounded, dozens of Soviet soldiers crowded there flew into the sky along with the ammunition that had not yet had time to disperse.
