Chapter 35: The Enemy Surrenders
The enemy surrendered, and Li Jing, who had been observing the battlefield, saw something faintly erected in the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, he picked up the binoculars, adjusted the focus, and saw a rifle held upright in the air, with the muzzle facing up, hanging a bayonet, and a bayonet on it...... Carrying a white shirt, he was blown by the breeze and danced in the smoke of gunpowder.
Major Ruya came to the south side of the wasteland, looked in the direction he came, four smoky gray German tanks lined up and slowly advanced towards the blocking position, the soldiers around him gritted their teeth and tried to shoot the bullets in the rifles, but they were helpless against the tanks, and the bullets hit the tanks except for a spark, which could not do any damage to the tanks.
This was a painful memory that had just been experienced just a few hours earlier, the occasional bullets fired from the tank, and the fighters who were blocking the attack could not lift their heads at all. Looking at the soldiers who were constantly dying, the elegant major was like a knife, and he reluctantly gave an order, laid down his arms, did not resist, and ordered the soldiers to raise the white flag.
As a group of soldiers entered the battlefield to receive prisoners, Li Jing put down the binoculars in his hand and took a deep breath, the enemy's charge just now frightened his forehead into a cold sweat, and a large area of the enemy rushed up regardless of the black pressure, not to mention two or three hundred people, who were swept by the machine gun and fell without stopping, almost in close contact with their own soldiers.
Fortunately, the soldiers in charge of blocking the attack were well-trained, and when the enemy was approaching, they threw a dense number of grenades, and forced the enemy back again, and the enemy retracted after dropping about half of the corpses, and then some of them turned to the west and fled.
Li Jing had no interest in the captive, so he radioed Randall in the rear and asked him to lead the No. 1 tank destroyer team to rendezvous, and then curled up in the tank trying to calm himself down, the sequelae of the adrenaline burst made him feel weak, and he just wanted to rest for a while.
The monkey got out of the tank early and ran to the battlefield to see the excitement, before the enemy charged, he still wanted to take out the 98K to have a good time, and was strongly suppressed by Li Jing, who knows what accidents will happen on the battlefield. The monkey who was forced to sit in the tank chattered for a long time, looking at the soldiers under the ridge with envy, but when the black enemy charged, he was also frightened into a cold sweat, and muttered that it was good not to go out. Now that the enemy has surrendered, where can this monkey still endure it, and there will be no shadow as soon as it slips away.
Soon after, Volcker came over and reported the situation on the battlefield, there were no big casualties in our army, zero deaths, one serious injury, twenty-three people with varying degrees of minor injuries, the seriously injured unlucky guy was shot through the abdomen by a stray bullet, but fortunately his life was saved.
It's just that the ammunition consumption is a bit large, and I will have to find Ensign Bao Shi to replenish it, and the two of them laughed happily when they said this.
Speaking of the enemy's side, it made people happy, this time they actually captured a colonel and brigade commander, a lieutenant colonel chief of staff, 8 officers of the rank of lieutenant, 11 officers below the rank of lieutenant, and more than 300 soldiers.
About two hundred soldiers escaped from the battle, supposedly led by a major regimental commander, who fled after the charge, and more than a hundred corpses of the enemy were left on the battlefield, which are now being disposed of.
Li Jing was not interested in any of this, so he left it to Volcker to deal with, and he shrank in the tank and waited for Randall and them to come and meet.
After a brief rest and resupply, everyone agreed to continue on their journey, this was not a safe place after all. The monkey didn't know where to get out, and mysteriously took out a handful of banknotes and showed it to Li Jing: "Pounds, I heard that it's very valuable, hey, I have the opportunity to take you to the bar here!" ”
"You're almost there, when are you still thinking about good things, hurry up and prepare, we're going back!" Li Jing kicked the monkey's backrest again angrily.
"If you have the ability, don't go with me, I don't believe you still want to eat those pig food in the army!"
"Damn, half of the meeting will be divided, quick, take it out" Li Jing thought of the food provided by the army and felt nauseous, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the monkey, why didn't he think that he had to get some money on his body before.
The marching plan was reassigned, and it was still Li Jing's No. 1 Type C front reconnaissance, with two Type II C vehicles in the large army starting with the lead, followed by the No. 1 tank destroyer squad, Randall's command tank, 11 supply vehicles, the prisoners strung together with ropes, the motorized convoy of L Company, and the two Type II C halls, the road stretched for a long time, and Li Jing's eyes jumped straight at the corners of his eyes, and he had the urge to let the prisoners go on the spot.
Raising his hand to look at his watch, the time was 2:10 p.m., and Li Jing ordered to set off.
The journey of more than 20 kilometers took more than an hour when it came, and this is not counting the time to pull out two enemy ambush points. When I went back, it took nearly two hours, and this was the result of forcing the prisoners to trot, and the prisoners who were tired and unable to run were thrown directly onto a truck that was deliberately vacated, and after 10 minutes of rest, they were put down and continued to run, and when they came to the road full of German troops, the already pale faces of the prisoners became even paler, and most of them stumbled and almost collapsed to the ground.
Along the way, the officers who were captured were treated much better, they were not tied to the hands and ran with the truck, they were separated from the vehicles transporting the soldiers, but when they got off the car, they all looked like dirt, and they thought they had received some unfair treatment, but they did not have to run more than 20 kilometers like other captured soldiers.
On the road, they found a group of gendarmes with dog tags, and after successfully handing over the prisoners to the gendarmes, everyone quickly turned around and left, not bothering to greet them. It's so painful, I can't stand it anymore when I stop and go all the way.
Li Jing led the team to chase the large army along the road at full speed, and was already behind for nearly five hours.
Ignoring the tank vehicles that broke down along the way and the soldiers on foot, and ignoring the positions that were still smoking gunpowder and the prisoners being escorted, the tank squad rushed forward with maximum speed, not wanting to keep up with the battle, but seeing that the sky was about to get dark, who knew what accidents would happen when the black lights were blind, the troops in front advanced too fast, leaving a lot of gaps along the way, and the enemy's routs were beaten everywhere, or they were safe and secure behind the large army.
There were no accidents along the way, as there were more and more armored vehicles on the road, the team led by Li Jing finally caught up with the tail of the large army, and arrived at the destination at more than eight o'clock in the evening, a camp in the northern Yugoslav city of Zagreb, a camp on the eastern outskirts of the northern city of Agram in the German population, and the camp of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 14th Armored Division was lucky to be here.
