Chapter 1061 A chance encounter with the group behind enemy lines
The battle on the distant position began with the sound of machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns firing, but soon came the explosion of grenades, and the faint screams of dying soldiers could be heard.
Not only Ruhle and others were shocked, but even the commanders and soldiers lying in the snow performing lurking missions were also confused. They couldn't understand why the German and Romanian troops were inexplicably fighting.
"Comrade Brigade Commander," seeing the enemy's internal strife, the battalion commanders also asked Ruhle to fight: "The enemy is now in chaos, I think we should attack immediately."
"Okay, understand that the troops will attack." When Ruchlie gave this order, he also specifically added: "Your attack targets are mainly the Romanian army. As for the Germans, it is important that they do not take the initiative to attack us, and you also
Don't fight with them easily."
Although the commanders of each battalion were puzzled by the order not to engage in firefights with the Germans, Soviet commanders and fighters have always been good at obeying orders from their superiors. Since it was an order issued by Ruhle, everyone would naturally carry it out unconditionally.
There was no artillery preparation before the attack, and there were no common signal flares. The commanders and soldiers climbed up from the snow, held their weapons, and strode towards the enemy's position.
The Romanian officers and soldiers, who had already fallen into chaos, never thought about why the German armored vehicles that had just arrived at the camp during the day would shoot at their own people after dark. But since the other party had already opened fire, they naturally would not sit still and wait for death.
Regardless, he took up arms and fought the Germans.
In the night, the commanders and fighters of the tank brigade used the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance as cover, and successfully approached the enemy's first defensive position. The Romanian and Taiwanese troops, who were beaten dizzy, were all focused at this time.
Attracted by the Germans hiding in armored vehicles, no one bothered to take a closer look at the Soviet troops approaching the position.
As soon as the Soviet commanders and soldiers jumped into the trench, they started fighting with the Romanian officers and soldiers hiding inside. Seeing the Soviet commanders and soldiers who were like magic soldiers descending from the sky, the Romanian officers and soldiers resisted for a moment, and then began to flee in all directions under the cover of night.
The German machine guns that were shooting wildly here saw the Soviet troops jumping into the trenches and starting a melee with the Romanians. They immediately turned their guns and shot at the location where other Romanian troops were gathering.
The Soviet commanders and fighters who saw the performance of these German armored vehicles had puzzled expressions on their faces: "Why didn't the Germans shoot at us? What on earth is going on?"
Fortunately, Ruhle had the foresight to order his commanders and soldiers to stay on equal terms with the German armored vehicles before the troops attacked. During the battle, many soldiers approached the German armored vehicles, but the machine guns inside not only did not shoot at them.
He fired, but unexpectedly he turned the gun and shot somewhere else.
"Hey!" Kogor rushed in front of an armored vehicle and shouted loudly at the machine gun that was shooting in other directions: "Which unit are you from?"
Soon, the armored vehicle stopped shooting, and a voice came from inside and asked: "Which unit are you from?"
"We are from the 19th Independent Tank Brigade. Which part are you in?"
"We are from the 67th Guards Division and were ordered to perform missions here."
After listening to the other party's answer, Kogor immediately understood what was going on. The Germans in these armored vehicles were all disguised as friendly comrades. No wonder they would shoot at the Romanian army. Kogel turned around and turned from a flag bearer.
He took a flag in his hand, walked to the armored vehicle, and struck the steel plate of the armored vehicle hard with his fist.
A soldier wearing a steel helmet opened the car door and asked Kogor standing outside: "Comrade Captain, what's the matter?"
Kogor handed over the red flag in his hand and said: "Put this red flag on the roof of your car to avoid misunderstandings with your own people."
The soldiers of the Guards Division also felt the same way, and quickly took the red flag from Kogor's hand and placed it next to the armored vehicle. Seeing the red flag raised next to the armored vehicle, the soldiers who were rushing over immediately realized that the emotion in the armored vehicle was
They were all disguised by their own people, how could they open fire on the Germans?
The trees burning everywhere in the distance illuminated the entire position like daylight. Ruhleh, who was observing the battle from far behind, could clearly see everything that happened. Especially when he saw the red flag raised next to the armored vehicle, he
The question in his mind was finally answered. He turned to the Chief of Staff and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, I heard that Colonel Sokov, the commander of the 41st Guards Division stationed in Luhansk, likes to let his small detachment behind enemy lines
Disguised as Germans. Maybe this small team fighting with the Romanian army is his subordinates."
"I have also heard about this Colonel Sokov." The chief of staff nodded and said: "It is said that he is very good at fighting. The Germans paid a huge price for the Mamayev Hill where his troops were holding, but they failed.
Still failed to capture it. Now that I see this small team that has sneaked into the enemy's position, I finally understand why his troops always win the battle. Colonel Sokov is indeed very good at commanding troops and using tactics."
The sound of gunfire and explosions on the distant position gradually became sparse. Ruhelie felt that it was almost done, so he took the members of the brigade and rushed over to join his troops.
The battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with blood, which could not be dissipated for a long time. Ruhelie arrived at the battlefield where the battle had just ended in time under such circumstances.
Seeing the brigade commander appear, Kogor came over with a man wearing the uniform of a German second lieutenant and introduced to Ruhle: "Comrade brigade commander, this is second lieutenant Sasha."
"Hello, Comrade Second Lieutenant." Before Kogor could finish his introduction, Ruhlie stepped forward, held Sasha's hand, and said enthusiastically: "If I guessed correctly, you must be from the 41st Guards Division.
Colonel Sokov's men."
"Comrade Colonel," Sasha politely replied after seeing Ruhle's rank clearly: "I am indeed a subordinate of Colonel Sokov, but I belong to the 67th Guards Division, not the 41st Guards Division."
After hearing Sasha's answer, Ruhle was a little confused: "What's going on? Since you are a subordinate of Colonel Sokov, why are you not from the 41st Guards Division? Could it be that Sokov was transferred to
Have other divisions assumed the position of division commander?"
Seeing that Ruhle did not seem to know much about the situation in the direction of Luhansk, Sasha explained to him: "Now the garrison in Luhansk is a combat group, and Colonel Sokov serves as the group commander, so I am
His subordinates are right. There are several infantry divisions in the cluster, and I am only from one of them."
"Oh, so that's what happened." After listening to Sasha's explanation, Ruhelie finally understood what was going on: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, I also want to ask, why do you appear among the enemies?"
"A few days ago, the cluster headquarters gave us an order to put on German uniforms and pretend to be German troops to cause sabotage behind enemy lines." Sasha explained again: "Especially the armies of these slave countries, they have a natural instinct for the Germans.
We were so frightened that when the Germans appeared, they didn't even dare to check our identities, so they placed us in the safest place in the middle of the position. But little did we know that the entire enemy position was under our fire coverage.
I originally wanted to use firepower to destroy part of the Romanian army, and then immediately command the armored vehicles to escape from here. In this way, the conflict would be transferred to the Germans, making the Romanians think that the Germans had attacked them. Then they would definitely
