Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 37: Crossing the Don River, the troops are converging, and the Eastern Battalion is gathered and defeated.
After the large force escaped from the pursuit circle, Mason and more than [-] people also escaped from the pursuit circle.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Everyone followed Mason and asked with hesitation.

"map!"

Mason also had a look of worry on his face, because the Soviet pursuit caused them to lose contact with the main force.

The soldier immediately opened a cylinder and a map appeared inside.

A faint light shone on the map.

"Karachi District, this is our only way. We need to cross the Don River from here. This is the manor we once captured. I believe that the captain will definitely come here if he wants to rest! Because we are familiar with this area."

Mason looked at the map and said.

At the same time, he took out a compass that was larger than a fingernail and about the size of a one-yuan coin and placed it on the map.

Then began to discern the direction.

"Speed ​​up and move forward. We will try to reach the Don River as soon as possible, otherwise we will miss the rendezvous with the captain and the others."

Mason, who put away the map, immediately called to his brothers.

Everyone packed up their equipment and started to set off, not caring about so much despite the heavy snow.

When they were tired, they camped directly on the spot, and the group arrived at the Don River on the morning of the third day.

As soon as they entered the vicinity of the Don River, they heard intensive gunfire.

I saw a German army unit fighting fiercely with the Soviet army on the river.

It looked like it was besieged by the Soviet army.

"Sir, could it be the captain and the others?"

the soldier asked worriedly.

"It's very possible. Everyone, get ready, let's go take a look."

Mason and the soldiers began to touch him from behind.

A wheeled modified anti-aircraft gun truck was continuously outputting firepower to strangle German soldiers.

A single-barreled M1940 25mm anti-aircraft gun.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
After the gun barrel was flattened, it was strangling the German troops on the bare and unsheltered river.

Da da da!Da da da!
Mason led the soldiers to fight out from behind and directly dispersed the dozen or so Soviet soldiers guarding the area.

"Load the shells and help the captain fight a way out!"

Mason shouted after climbing onto the anti-aircraft gun truck.

The soldier immediately climbed up and at the same time received the ammunition handed up from below and pressed ten rounds in a row into the magazine compartment.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
The Soviet troops who were besieging the German army began to be strangled.

"Captain, look, that looks like Mason!"

Bill looked at the movement on the other side of the river with a telescope and said.

Edward and others had already crossed the river, and what was trapped was a fleeing German unit.

When Mason arrived, he thought it was Edward and his party who were trapped.

Edward originally didn't want to care about the trapped Germans, but Mason and others appeared behind him.

Abandoning Mason and others at this time would really chill everyone's hearts.

After all, Mason is the old man who follows Edward.

You can abandon him at will if you keep him, but you can't abandon him at will if he follows you.

"Bobby led people to pick up Mason, Bill led people to stop the supporting Soviet troops, and Malte led people to see if they could get some vehicles."

Edward immediately issued battle orders.

I originally wanted to leave this hellish place without any bloodshed.

There is no such good opportunity now.

There seemed to be more than 100 trapped German troops.

If you look carefully, these guys are from the Eastern Camp.

"This is not the captain and the others! These guys are the Azerbaijani Eastern Battalion. Damn it, where did the captain and the others go!"

Mason looked at the gang in front of him, which turned out to belong to the Eastern Battalion, and were all German puppet troops.

"Corporal, thank you so much. If it hadn't been for your timely action, we would have been doomed."

One of the captains of the Eastern Battalion was extremely surprised when he saw the German soldiers appearing behind him and stepped forward to express his gratitude. "Sir, look quickly, are those the captain and the others?"

One of the German soldiers pointed at the German soldiers on the opposite bank in the distance and yelled after fighting out.

"Yes, that's right, rush over and join the captain and the others."

Mason was not polite and directly grabbed the Eastern Battalion captain's telescope and observed it carefully.

Mason took away the other party's telescope and had no intention of returning it to him.

What's the point of using such a good thing like you, a loser?

He put the telescope directly on his neck.

He greeted the soldiers and rushed over.

In the eyes of the Eastern European puppet troops in Dongfangying, all they see in front of them is their prince.

Quickly, a burst of small artillery followed Mason's men and rushed towards the other side.

The Soviet army on the other side was attacked from two sides and more than 200 people were directly overwhelmed.

In addition to the 10,000+ veterans drawn from the Far East, the Soviet army also received a large number of new recruits.

Facing these German soldiers who survived Stalingrad, they said that they were all a bunch of noobs.

After a lot of chopping melons and vegetables, the Soviet troops were finally reunited after being dispersed.

Originally, Edward didn't want to care about these puppet troops.

Although there are many people wearing German military uniforms and wearing the same hat, there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness.

At first glance, these guys are the guys who are running away.

But for Edward and others, it was considered an escape, so they didn't criticize the other party.

"Mason!"

Edward waved and shouted.

I still attach great importance to Mason Edward, after all, his ability is obvious to all.

I have to make good use of such talents in the future.

"Boss! I finally found you!"

"You guys can't see clearly, so you just rush in blindly. Fortunately, these Soviet troops are not very effective in fighting. Otherwise, we will have to fight hard again. Clean up and we evacuate quickly."

Edward immediately called everyone to come without stopping.

More than 100 soldiers from the Eastern Battalion also followed Edward and his party.

"Sir, I am Commander Quitur of the 147th Battalion."

The captain of Dongfang Battalion saluted and said hello.

"Is it okay to not hold you accountable for the time being, but to take your people with us and obey our orders at all times?"

Edward pointed at the other person and asked.

"Yes, sir, obey the order firmly"

The other party also saw that Edward and his party in front of him were all veterans and had a large number of elites.

To put it bluntly, his men were not as effective as the Soviet army.

Edward could kill them just by covering their faces.

Moreover, he was still a superior and subordinate, so the other party did not dare to move at all and could only choose to hug his thigh.

After all, they were puppet soldiers. To put it bluntly, he, the battalion commander, was not as good as Edward's platoon commander.

After all, have you ever seen a little Japanese lieutenant who was afraid of a major in the puppet army?

So their relationships are pretty much the same.

The Eastern Battalion was formed after the defeat in the Battle of Moscow last year.

These were soldiers from Eastern European countries, not Asians.

It is the East in the eyes of Germany, that is, Eastern Europe.

With more than 100 Eastern Battalion soldiers joining, Edward also knew how to use them.

If the Soviet army pursues them too hard, then they will be cannon fodder used to stop the Soviet army.

If the Soviet army hadn't pursued them so fiercely, Edward wouldn't have minded taking them alive and retreating to the Fourth Armored Army's defense area.
