Chapter 10 The First Wolves Offensive (4)

The scrapping of an armored vehicle did not satisfy the charge of the Soviet soldiers, and also did not destroy the will of the German soldiers. On the contrary, the fighting between the two sides on narrow roads became even more tragic. Whether it was charging or defending, it seemed that in an instant, it became a combat machine that was ignorant of pain and was not afraid of death: when the distance was a little farther, the machine gun fired, and the rifle was rushing; when the distance was close, it was fought with a bayonet; if it didn't work, it rushed up and hugged the opponent, and his fingers, feet, even forehead, teeth were all weapons that could kill the enemy.

An old Soviet soldier who has won the title of Soviet hero and two Red Flag medals once described his mental state when he was bravely charged in his diary: "In the battlefield where smoke is dense and stray bullets are shuttled, there will never be warriors fighting for a certain belief. When a group of comrades who had been with you day and night fell at your feet with miserable howls, you will know where the courage to abandon life and death came from. At that moment, you will quickly grow into a real warrior. In your blood-red eyes, there will be no fear. You can only see an enemy that you have listed as the target of the sea of ​​people, kill him, kill him, kill him...no matter what method is used..."

At this moment, on this battlefield, it was obvious that the soldiers on both sides had entered this almost crazy state.

The German machine guns never stopped for a moment, and the Soviet charges never stopped for a moment.

With a huge gap in force, the first line of defense set up by the German army on the edge of the jungle was quickly wiped out, and the Soviet soldiers who flocked out began to launch tanks that were spinning in place due to road blockage.

This is a battle of wolves eating elephants. Soviet soldiers, like wolves, rushed to the German tanks without hesitation. The number of anti-tank grenades was not large. In order to effectively destroy the tanks, some soldiers even braved the German machine guns in the canal, climbed up the tank desperately, and used their bodies to fix the grenades on the rear protective armor of the tank. This is the weakness of the German tanks. A powerful anti-tank grenade is enough to penetrate the armor here, thus causing the German soldiers hiding in this behemoth to fall into the sea of ​​fire.

The combat method of exchanging the lives of warriors for German tanks is cruel, but then again, in this case, it is also the most effective. Niyansky didn't spend much time on this battle. He had to resolve the battle within thirty minutes as much as possible, then disperse the troops and transfer them. Otherwise, what followed would be the German air strike.

With the sound of the noise of gunfire, German tanks that were unable to turn around due to the small space rose one after another. Some unfortunate German tank soldiers were forced to open the hatch cover under the fire in the cabin and howled at the top of their lungs, trying to escape from the purgatory of fire, but eventually fell on the hatch weakly. The scene was enough for everyone who saw it with their own eyes to be unforgettable for life.

When the gunshots gradually stopped, Niyansky walked out of the woods. He happened to meet Buynov who came from the east. The two of them looked at the corpses covered with the outside of the woods and the snow stained with blood, and looked at each other speechlessly.

"Sweep the battlefield." After a long time, Niyansky said, "The body of the sacrificed comrade was dragged into the woods and buried with snow. The independent regiment was responsible for sending the wounded to the town of Snorov and asking the people there to take care of. As for the Germans...the ones who are still alive will be executed on the spot. We cannot take them on the road."

Buinov nodded and raised no objection, after all, he no longer had command.

"Stankovic," Niyankov reached out and patted Buynov's shoulder, and said kindly, "you go and count our casualties. I will report everything here to the Front Command in a while. Oh, I hope that comrade will be satisfied."

Shortly after the battle in Snorov town ended, Chu Sinan received a report on the situation from the security division command. There was no doubt that the results of this battle made him very satisfied. But then again, this is also what it should be. If three entire regiments of troops attacked a small-scale German tank unit, if the record of total annihilation was not achieved, there would be a problem.

However, satisfaction with the results of the battle does not mean satisfaction with the entire battle. In the report on the situation of Niyansky's return, in addition to explaining the losses of the German army, the losses of their three regiments were also explained in detail. In such a small-scale battle, the three regiments under the Security Division lost 284 people in the battle and 72 people were injured. Most of the wounded were seriously injured and must withdraw from the battle sequence for a long time in the future.

A battle lost more than 280 people, which made Chu Sinan a little annoyed. What was the 72 wounded people who were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured, so they could continue to fight. Isn’t this nonsense? What weather is now? The cold and cold is hard to withstand even a whole soldier, let alone a wounded person. Not to mention, even if an arm was broken and a piece of flesh was lost, during the migration that followed, these wounds were ulcerated due to the cold and frost, and then continued to have high fever and death. As for those seriously injured, let alone, the town of Snorrov is now a place for the Germans. How can so many wounded people hide there? In the end, they will fall into the hands of the Germans. What is the difference between this and sacrifice?

Chu Sinan wanted to call back and ask Niyansky what he was doing, but he finally resisted this action. Nothing else, just because he remembered the extremely tragic battle he had witnessed on the front line of the Svery River.

Whether it is a soldier or a commander, if you only have not been a deserter on the battlefield, you have enough courage, let alone win a battle. What such a force needs should be encouragement and praise, rather than reprimanding and scolding again.

Of course, Chu Sinan also thought that perhaps until now, the main commanders of the security division were still confused about the purpose of launching this battle. They might even think that they were confused and lost in order to achieve military achievements. If they thought so, Chu Sinan felt that he really wanted.

Yes, as a division or even an army commander, their vision must be focused on their own battlefield. Therefore, under the current circumstances, hidden strength is the most effective and practical approach. However, as a commander of the front army, Chu Sinan must not think so. He must not only consider the issue of his own battlefield and thus take care of others.

Opening the defense line and allowing the main force of the German army to advance to the northeast inside line, thereby dispersing their mechanized forces in the rear. This was Chu Sinan's initial combat guiding ideology. However, this combat idea also has a bottom line. He must not allow the German army to advance to the northeast without any scruples, but should limit their forces to the front line to a limit that the Northern Front Sviri River defense line could bear, otherwise everything would be futile.

It was driven by this idea that Chu Sinan insisted on launching this encirclement and annihilation battle to attract the attention of some German troops and thus reduce certain pressure on the defense line of the Northern Front Army.
