Chapter five hundred and nineteen captives
As soon as the Soviet glider landed, it caused a riot. Soviet soldiers had few other abilities and were not afraid of death. There were no shortage of soldiers who were desperate for life. About half of them did not land normally. In other words, many gliders hit buildings or ruins. But even so, the wounded Soviet soldiers crawled out of it and killed them in a mess, even if the Soviet people were standing in front of them.
What I fear most in the night battle is the infiltration of the enemy. Even if the troops are not large, this kind of battle will be a little distracted, just like the Soviet troops attacking the east coast of Holm were infiltrated to the rear by the German army using tunnels.
However, infiltration wars are still closely related to quality. Units with poor quality often become messy as soon as they are infiltrated, and troops with good quality can stabilize the form.
The German army was obviously the latter. To be precise, the German army had strict internal and external division of labor in Holm. The internal management was managed by the police force, and the external defense line was defended by the National Defense Force. There was even a disagreement between the police force and the National Defense Force, and the two looked down on each other, so the boundary was very obvious.
If this is placed elsewhere, it is obviously not a good thing, not united enough.
But everything has its own two sides, but this situation allows the German army to deal with the Soviet infiltration war well... Most gliders land in the internal area, that is, the police force's defense zone, so chaos is also chaos in the police force. The National Defense Forces will fight as they should, and what they need to pay attention to is to arrange a team of people in the rear to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.
Therefore, the Soviet infiltration war was always limited to a controllable range. Although some Soviet infiltration personnel were not removed until dawn, the impact was not great.
Of course, this was also expected by Pukayev, and he did not pin his hopes on these infiltration personnel.
Just as the glider caused the Holm riot, several more gliders dived from the night sky and landed near the school.
It is better to say it is a crash than a "landing", because the school has no suitable landing location... Schools in this era did not have a large playground like modern schools. There was only a clearing in front of the school, and there were swings and slides as students' activity venues. When the gliders landed, one rack hit these things and then immediately became a pile of scrap iron. Two of them hit the wall of the school and knocked them out two big holes.
But these are exactly what the Soviet army hoped, or it can be said that they had known that such a situation and result would be... The Soviet reconnaissance plane had already clearly reconnaissed the terrain here during the day.
However, these gliders will still land here.
The reason is not for other reasons, but for these gliders, which are not people, but equipment, and weapons and equipment brought to Soviet prisoners... The gliders may be damaged, but rifles, bullets and grenades are not so easy to be damaged. They may even spill out of the broken body due to the impact and make it easier for Soviet prisoners to pick them up.
As for the life and death of the pilot, there is no need to think too much about it.
Objectively speaking, Pukayev had to do this... It was almost impossible to airdrop enough weapons and ammunition to the school in the dark. Just like the difficulties encountered by the German army in airdropping, it was difficult to airdrop the supply to the German-controlled area during the day, let alone airdropping it to the nearness of the school at night.
So they only have one option, that is, use a glider.
Only gliders can accurately bring a large number of weapons and equipment to the school, and there are even two gliders that can break the walls for prisoners.
The Soviet prisoners who had been prepared long ago couldn't help but cheer when they saw this, and rushed out of the collapsed wall like a flood that broke through the dam.
Mattevich followed the team and shouted: "Pick up your weapons, comrades, prove to Comrade Stalin that it is time to defeat the fascism and fight for freedom, so that we can return to the embrace of our motherland!"
Matvich's words were very useful to the Soviet army. All the Soviet soldiers rushed towards the wreckage of the glider like chicken blood, fighting for the weapons and equipment scattered on the ground. After grabbing it, they immediately walked towards the darkness and charged towards the barbed wire fence stationed by the German police forces outside.
but……
What they didn't know was that the line of defense was no longer stationed by the police force.
With a "ten" sound, several searchlights lit up outside the school, illuminating the school white. The Soviet army, who were snatching weapons and equipment, stopped their movements and looked at the periphery in horror, but under the dazzling light, they could not see anything.
Mattevich felt that the situation was not good at the first time, because it seemed that the German army was prepared.
Sure enough, a stingy Russian shout came from the trumpet: "Hello, Soviet soldiers! It is indeed a good idea to be airborne with a glider. To be precise, it is simply perfect, but unfortunately, we are prepared for it. Now, put down your weapons, then raise your hands and walk out, otherwise... you know what will happen!"
Several Soviet soldiers raised their hands in horror, and they didn't even get their weapons.
But after a few gunshots, these Soviet soldiers were knocked to the ground.
It was Mattevich who shot. He believed that he could not be ruthless at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't believe them!" said Mattevich. "You know, the Germans are inadequate enough troops. Listen to the gunshots. Our troops are attacking Holm with all their might. They are not able to stop us! Take up your weapons, fight for Stalin, fight for the motherland, and defeat these fascists!"
"For Stalin, for the Soviets!"
...
The Soviet soldiers shouted and rushed towards the German defense line. Those who picked up weapons held their guns and fired randomly at the periphery.
But none of this helps, because Qin Chuan had transferred all the more than ten tanks seized from the Soviet army here, and is now surrounding these Soviet prisoners in a circle.
Of course, the Soviet prisoners did not find these tanks, otherwise they might have chosen to put down their weapons.
"Open fire!"
With Qin Chuan's order, the German army pulled the trigger towards the Soviet prisoners who rushed towards them.
The bullets poured out of the rifle and machine gun are nothing, because the flames ejected from the tank guns immediately covered their light... The tanks aimed at the location of the glider, where a large group of Soviet troops were snatching weapons.
