Several pointed helmets were waiting quietly in the trenches in the German position east of Biavestock, and the artillery units were also adjusting nervously. There were only a few boxes of shells behind the cannon.
Chen Tian and Olger watched the Russian positions opposite in the front-line headquarters, where it was quiet. According to the time, Agreni had just returned to Kimon at most.
Shelling Chen Tiankou asked soon.
"General, did our soldiers have a good rest last night?"
"Report to the Prince’s Palace that they have a very good rest and are very energetic now!" Francois straightened his chest and replied
The words in the headquarters suddenly sounded, and it was a long-awaited sound when I grabbed them in the morning.
"The information of the Prince’s Palace has been verified by the Russian staff. Based on our reconnaissance yesterday, there is one thing. At first, the three Belarusian cavalry divisions have never appeared. We are continuing to interrogate them, but they all say that they don’t know the trend of that unit!"
"I know that we are still acting as planned!" Chen Tian said that although the mud made him take off by reconnaissance plane after the heavy rain, he still guessed the position of the Belarusian cavalry
"attack!"
Despite certain risks, I still hope to seize this opportunity to defeat these Russian divisions east of Bialystok.
Clouds of smoke rose from the rear artillery positions, and the German artillery reluctantly stuffed shells into the gun bore. The muddy Russian positions soon became potholes, and fighting without armored forces would be different from the western front battlefield
Waiting for the charge order in the trench, two German soldiers are having a small discussion.
The younger one asked proudly, "Barusz, how many Russians did you kill yesterday? I picked two bayonets yesterday and captured one! "
"Good ah Polk! You shot the bayonet so badly in your usual training that you killed two Russians! Not bad! But be careful today. Our chief said that the Russian Guards are facing each other. They are all selected from various Russian troops! " This soldier in uniform was retired before the Bowles War and transferred to the reserve force. On the first day of the war, he returned to the army to report that these grateful infantry did not have much chance to make meritorious deeds in the battle of former East Prussia, but yesterday’s battle at least made everyone feel good. He also chose a Russian soldier and a junior officer in a limited time yesterday.
"Those Russians seem very vulnerable. Yesterday, I felt that they had no strength at all!" Poole’s careless answer
"That’s because they’ve been digging trenches there. Dig trenches all afternoon and then try to fight bayonets!" Bowers still felt bad about these trenches, because he tripped over a Russian corpse when he charged yesterday, fell straight into a deep trench and knocked off a front tooth. When he got up again, the Russian in front was either killed by his partner or surrendered.
Polk didn’t speak any more, because the guns were getting thinner and thinner. They were ordered to charge as soon as the shelling stopped. He checked his rifle bayonet again and again for fear that there would be a situation where no spear head could stab the undead.
"Don’t rush around alone after me for a while. If you fall into the encirclement of several Russian troops, you will be very rebellious!" Bowers is not as worried as he is that his equipment should be inspected once, and the quality of German-made rifles and bayonets can be assured.
Finally, the guns stopped, and several wide passages were built in the few barbed wire in front of the Russian military position
All the soldiers’ hearts beat and they were nervous and excited waiting for the charge order.
The charge time came soon, and three flares went straight into the air.
Oh, oh …
A thunderous roar burst out in the German trench, and the soldiers jumped out of the trench positions one after another, and the machine guns also tried their best to suppress the firepower of the other Russian positions.
The commander of the Russian army across the street had already received the news that Kimon had been attacked at night, but he had not received the order to redeploy, and the main infantry was still arranged in the front position.
Russian artillery also rang at this moment, but most of the guards’ artillery was taken to Jimon by Agreni. There were a few artillery pieces here, which didn’t stop the German army from charging the queue, but their heavy machine guns were much higher than other Russian troops. This time, the Germans also tasted the power of machine guns.
The muddy ground slowed down the soldiers’ charge. Fortunately, it also reduced the threat of shells to the crowd. As they got closer to each other’s positions, more and more German soldiers were hit by howls of flying bullets. Pulk almost tripped over the German soldiers in front several times, but he still followed Bowles closely.
When the German queue approached the Russian position, the Russian infantry also climbed out of the trench and the bayonet collided head-on again …
Soon Polk and Bowles found their opponents. Polk faced a Russian who was half a head younger than him. He saw from the corner of his eye that Bowles’ opponent was as strong as a wall. He wanted to solve this guy as soon as possible, and then went over to help him take the lead in stabbing the other side and quickly blocked the bayonet. As soon as he touched Polk’s heart, he secretly complained that only one block moved his bayonet, and then the Russian heard that several anti-stabbing bayonets went straight to Polk’s chest. He was so shocked that his gun was blocked and double-put. Step by step, the bayonet confronted each other. At this time, Pulk didn’t dare to keep his eyes on each other’s bayonets. The bayonet kept shaking in a small range, but it stopped motionless. Suddenly, the Russian bayonet stabbed Pulk forward and tried to dial the opponent’s bayonet. However, the opponent was an empty bayonet, and it was actually shrinking back. Pulk’s bayonet grid! Although the block didn’t move much, a small block blocked the Russian bayonet on his front, and when the chicken appeared in this small area, Polk returned the gun and blocked it again, the bayonet blocked the opponent’s rifle, but it failed to shake his opponent’s body. Naturally, he shrank back, but his opponent’s bayonet was still stuck in his body.
**** *w*w*w**** ***o*m
"ah!" Pulk had a sharp pain in his right thigh, but the last box lowered the height of his opponent’s bayonet by a lot. Two centimeters more was his lower abdomen. Pulk suddenly scratched his bayonet at his opponent, and then the Russian flashed past his bayonet. Pulk’s body was out of balance and fell back. He watched the other side stab again …
The Russian body suddenly froze. He looked at his chest, and a short bayonet tip appeared in Huo Ran, and then he fell straight to the ground.
Pulk sat down on the ground, while Bowles rubbed his nose and pulled out the bayonet with one foot on the Russian. Pulk now that Bowles had killed the seemingly strong Russian, he was lying there with wide eyes.
German and Russian soldiers around them are still fighting fiercely, and the mental strength and morale of both sides are equal. There are almost twice as many German soldiers, but the excellent bayonet technology of the Russian army has not made their queue retreat
Seeing the stalemate between the two sides and watching the battle not far away, I couldn’t help but frown. Shooting physical fitness and team training are the key points of the East Prussian Army training. Bayonet fighting has not been paid special attention to, and this situation of repelling opponents with twice the force in front of me also reflects from another angle that the Russian troops on the other side are indeed an elite division, and he quickly reached new orders.
"reserve team attack!"
At this time, the vicious fourth army of the reserve has entered the position. As Chen Tianyi made them shout and rush, the German soldiers were suddenly demoralized in the fierce battle. The gray queue slowly moved forward, and the black wave showed signs of instability. As the progress of the fourth army soldiers accelerated before joining the German front, the Russian army finally failed to support it and retreated.
"Russian cavalry!"
It made all German commanders and soldiers feel chilling and shouted. Just as the Russian army was retreating, a black wave suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Belarusian cavalry division"
The three Belarusian cavalry divisions have finally come out. In this case, Agreni is so at ease to place the three infantry divisions so close to the German main force. It must be a precaution. These cavalry should have been hiding in some Woods and actually escaped the reconnaissance plane for days. However, according to the deployment of the other troops, the Russian strategy of overtaking people was inferred.
"Order all soldiers to retreat to their positions!"
German soldiers quickly broke away from Russian contact and retreated to their positions. Polk also retreated with the help of Bowles.
The Belarusian cavalry didn’t stop there. They crossed their own infantry and rushed to the other side’s position, intending to break through the other side’s position while the other infantry retreated.
Chapter iii pushing
Thousands of Russian soldiers dressed in gray-black army are quietly waving sappers’ shovels and carrying loads of soil from other places to the ground in a rectangular area on the west of Biastoke. Dozens of oil drums filled with stones are waiting for people to push them back and forth. Thousands of German soldiers are sitting on motorcycles and trucks and staring at these Russians’ dark machine guns with indifferent expressions, so that every Russian prisoner can’t imagine anything.
The sloppy Russians made the German officers in charge of supervision very dissatisfied. They kept whipping and boots to drive these people to speed up. Even so, the progress was still slow.
"The Germans should want to turn this place into an airport. Let’s slow down as much as possible. Our peripheral troops will soon come to solve our eastern battle. It sounds fierce. I believe the Germans will not last long!" Some of the Russian prisoners, who looked like officers, spoke to the soldiers around them and encouraged them to take these words to others around them. Gradually, there was a little commotion in the crowd.
German soldiers also showed the situation here. They shouted "Don’t talk" and dispersed the gathered Russians. At this moment, two Russians actually quarreled, and then the kung fu film was played. All Russians stopped and watched the excitement.
On a hill in the distance, Major Robert, the head of the temporary airport project, looked at the farce coldly. It was obvious that it was Russian, and it was deliberately delayed until several German soldiers rushed to divide the two Russians. Other Russian prisoners waved shovels angrily again.
Because of the heavy rain, the former airport was muddy, and the headquarters of the Army Corps made it easy for these Russian prisoners to build a new temporary airport. Both German and Russian armies had a lot of workmen shoveling Robert’s tools, but the Germans were not stupid, and they would not work hard.
After talking to the legion headquarters, Robert smiled strangely. He called the soldiers next to him and ordered a few words.
Ten minutes later, two Russian cooking trucks arrived at the flat ground. Robert went to the car and picked up a simple loudspeaker. He shouted in Russian, "Russian officers, now I will take responsibility for you. In a short while, my soldiers will take charge of the construction of one piece of land in batches. After the project is completed and passed my acceptance, these people can eat bread and potato soup at lunch today!"
Soon, the rectangular ground was divided into dozens of squares, and each square contained an oil drum and converted it into a simple barrel. The Russian prisoners were divided into hundreds of people, each of whom was responsible for their own squares. When they heard and ate, the Russian crowd moved slowly, but in some Russian military officials, it was not much more difficult to persuade and intimidate them to move or slow down.
In a short time, several trucks brought in a group of "Russian prisoners". Although their faces were dirty, their eyes were not as tired and depressed as those of other prisoners. They quickly walked to the corner under the leadership of German soldiers and quickly waved shovels.
Soon after, the smell of potato soup wafted from the cooking car, and baking bread not only made the Russian prisoners’ eyes glow green, but also many German soldiers kept swallowing their saliva. After the fall of Kimon, the daily ration of ordinary German soldiers decreased, and many of them were growling.
Later, the group of "Russian prisoners" led many Russian soldiers to speed up the pace unconsciously. Some Russian officers were still muttering, and Major Robert asked his soldiers to pull those chattering guys out of the crowd and beat them up.
In less than half an hour, the two small squares were leveled and compacted by the "Russian prisoners" later. Robert made a pretentious walk for two rounds of acceptance. After that, he waved them to the cooking car to get food. After these people took bread and potato soup and sat aside to enjoy it, the whole construction site suddenly became hot. All the Russian prisoners worked hard. They had hardly eaten anything since they were captured yesterday. Everyone was hungry for food and revived.
"We are good, we are good!" Soon, a group of real Russian prisoners also leveled and compacted their square, and they excitedly shouted that they would let other Russians fall into more crazy labor.
Robert walked to the flat land. Although the quality of the square was better than that of the former "Russian prisoners", he still shook his head. The eyes of the Russians were full of disappointment.
"The ground here needs to be leveled again, and the land needs to be pressed several times, but I believe you can eat food as soon as possible!" As soon as Robert said this, the Russians were eager to move again.
"We are ready!"
"We are ready!"
The Russians shouted one after another. Robert went to the inspection again and again and shook his head again and again, but in the end, several Russian prisoners of war made them fair and square. Robert waved and they ran to the cooking car with joy.
However, when Russian prisoners can get a little bread and potato soup now, their eyes are full of doubts and incomprehension. They saw the first batch of Russian prisoners get large pieces of bread and big bowls of soup before, and it was not until they saw those Russian prisoners hiding behind the cooking car and talking to other German soldiers with smiles on their faces that it was too late to realize.
