Chapter three hundred and thirty seventh encirclement
One by one, one news came one by one. In the small town of Mokran, the brigade commander Felipovitz was in great sadness as he listened to the news from the front line.
The cavalry regiment was surrounded and annihilated, the armored trains were destroyed, and the armored battalions were all killed.
He also had two reserve teams of cavalry regiments, but now the situation was clear. Even if he sent these cavalry regiments, he could only die.
what to do?
The middle lane has been conquered by the Germans. Now, the Germans have passed through the woods and come straight to the Mokra, so the defensive power arranged on the north and south lines is useless.
"Retrieve the 19th Cavalry Regiment, the 4th Battalion and the 7th Machine Gun Battalion of the 84th Infantry Regiment to Mokra!" Felipovitz said: "Now, we are going to live and die with this city in Mokra."
The middle lane was broken, and the defense of the north and south lane lost its value. Now, the only thing he could do was to fight street battles in Mokra City, try to delay the German attacks, and wait for reinforcements.
If not, then die here in battle.
Street fighting has always been a battlefield like a meat grinder. The defenders can rely on the terrain to continuously eliminate the enemy and kill the enemy's living forces, and finally make the opponent have to give up because of excessive casualties.
During World War II, there were too many such scenes, and Leningrad and Stalingrad were the most common examples.
However, Felipowitz didn't know that his order would cause his subordinates to suffer even more heavy losses.
Withdrew from the Mokra defense, this order was soon passed to the defense zone of the 19th Cavalry Regiment. After receiving the order, the commander of the Cavalry Regiment immediately stepped onto his own war horse without hesitation.
"Go back to defense, go back to Mokra." The regiment commander shouted loudly.
Hundreds of young men stepped onto war horses, and in the woods, they were very angry. They listened to the gunfire and the cannons on the central defense line, but they could not help. They had their own task, which was to protect the place.
Now, after waiting for a long time, they did not fire a single shot, but received an order to retreat.
The soldiers took obeying orders as their duty. So the riders of the cavalry regiment stepped on their horses and prepared to return to the city.
Many people have misunderstandings about cavalry. Seeing the cavalry riding war horses and showing off their heroic postures, in fact, that was just the time for war.
In normal times, the cavalry are reluctant to ride their own war horses. Every horse is their treasure. In normal times, when the cavalry transfers, they always lead the horses to walk, so that the horses can always maintain enough strength to deal with various situations.
But now, the situation is urgent, they must return to Mokra immediately, so everyone rode on their horses, and in the woods, they began to walk eastward.
The horse's hooves trampled on dead branches, and every Polish soldier was very nervous and could not say why.
Over the years, Polish soldiers have not suffered any losses. Just last year, they took a bite of meat from the Czech Republic, so they are all very proud, but now they are abused.
The Poles were very injured, even the bears and the others could defeat them, but they could not find dignity in a defeated country in one battle!
Damn it, it's so hateful!
Riding on horses, the Polish soldiers were in a heavy mood. The woods were becoming more and more sparse, and the front suddenly became clear.
The woods have already left, and the small town is right in front of you. The cavalry and fast horses arrive in just over ten minutes.
What will you do when you are in a bad mood? Some people can drink, some people can sing, some people can vent their mistakes, and some people can rush to run wildly.
If there is no horse, you will run wildly on the playground. If there is a horse, you will ride wildly on horseback.
This is how the Polish cavalry nowadays, jogging on the horse's backs in the fierce wind, which is their way of venting. They even waved two whips without hesitation to make the horse run faster.
But, at this moment, suddenly, a rumbling sound came from afar.
What's going on? The galloping cavalry slowly turned their heads, looked behind, and around.
When did tanks appear here?
There are tanks all around. Although there are not many, with a tank that is apart of dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters, these tanks are a perfect encirclement!
Oops, surrounded!
Sitting in his own tank, Weitman was very happy.
When he broke through the Poles' armored battalion and was about to take advantage of the victory to attack Mokra, the armored company he was in received an order from the regiment commander and ran north to the side to set up an ambush circle.
At that time, he had some resistance. He wanted to be the first tanker to attack Mokra, but now, when he found the Polish cavalry jumping out of the woods, he was excited.
The woods are the natural enemy of tanks. In the woods, tanks are easily approached by cavalrymen. Even if they throw a moor bottle over, they will make the tankers look dirty. Now, the cavalry emerging from the woods are in the field, and there is no second way except death!
The leader of the regiment, or the commander of the division, is really visionary.
Weitman knew that as a tanker, he was competent, but as a commander, he still had a long way to go. He had to judge the enemy situation, analyze the battle situation, and arrange his pockets in advance. There was a lot of knowledge in it, and he still needed to learn and summarize.
Of course, for now, the armored company he was in surrounded a regiment of Polish cavalry, and below it was a one-sided massacre.
"Fire!" The company commander's order came from the radio. Company commander Heinz Klin was also very excited at this time. They had just set up the encirclement and the Polish cavalry came out. Now, surrounding the Polish cavalry is a good opportunity to gather and annihilate.
On one tank after another, machine guns were firing wildly.
The Black Panther 3 tank has two machine guns. There is a machine gun at the right end of the front body, which is prepared for the radio. This is a 7.92mm machine gun. On the turret, where it rotates coaxially with the tank gun, there is also a 7.92mm machine gun, both of which are mg34 machine guns.
At the same time, there are three mp38 submachine guns in the car body, so when needed, all five tank crew members fired continuously, and the machine guns on the car body are easily disassembled.
Now, if you drill inside your tank, you don’t need to fire a tank gun. Two machine guns will throw bullets at the opposite Polish cavalry and throw away the rain of bullets!
Along the way, the consumption was too much, and even half of the shells had been knocked out, so tank shells had to be saved. For cavalry without any armor protection, as long as the machine gun was used, they could be dealt with!
On the entire field, only tanks and machine guns were yelling.
