#1124 Bicycle Reconnaissance Company (Plus 1)

When the main force of the Viking Division came up, this was definitely not the last straw that broke the camel, but a boulder that broke the camel. A large number of tanks pressed towards the position where the 20th Tank Division was fleeing!

A large number of tanks were randomly discarded on the ground, and countless Soviet tankers were fleeing desperately, but how could their legs be as fast as the tanks?

There was a scream from behind. It was the scream of the soldier who was directly crushed under the tank's track after being caught up by the German tank. This sound made more people panic.

I can't escape, what should I do?

Surrender!

As a result, a large number of Soviet soldiers raised their hands, and they looked at the moving tanks with panic and fear on their faces.

Not everyone has the courage to persevere in the war of resistance. Before the terrifying 270 military regulations were put into use, the surrender of Soviet soldiers was definitely not an exception, but a large number of them. It was an organized surrender of the entire army.

Like now.

The great purge initiated by Stalin purged a large number of experienced commanders. The grassroots commanders in the army were not skilled in military skills, but the most thorough implementation of Stalin's line, allowing them to fight within themselves. They are a good hand, and now let them fight the German army, that is absolutely scum!

"Don't care about these prisoners, let these prisoners get out of the way!" On the tank, General Felix gave an order loudly on the radio: "We don't have time to capture these people, we have to move on, we have to annihilate the opponent's main force. !"

Just now, he interrogated several prisoners temporarily, and learned that the number of this tank unit was the 20th Tank Division and the 9th Mechanized Army of Law. They came so quickly that their tanks were running out of fuel. , At the same time, their infantry units trotted all the way.

In an instant, General Felix knew that his opportunity had come!

Don't care about these prisoners now, and leave these prisoners to the people behind to take them. Now, with this kind of energy, we have to rush forward and surround the entire 9th Mechanized Army. They are the most exhausted moment. It's time for your own side to harvest them!

Tanks rumbled past, and the infantry fighting vehicles that followed were also running at full power. The entire tank force continued to move forward!

Forward, forward!

At this time, less than fifty kilometers away from them, Major General Rokossovsky, commander of the 9th Mechanized Army, was walking forward with perseverance and perseverance.

He set up his army in the 35th Tank Division, but he knew that the 131st Mechanized Division under his command was the weakest. They lacked long-distance motor vehicles and marched on foot.

To this end, Major General Rokossovsky personally came to the 131st Mechanized Division. He looked at a soldier who fell to the ground, and he was very anxious when he saw them lying asleep like that.

Nearby, there was the sound of gurgling water. They had already marched to the vicinity of the Stry River. They really had no strength. Many soldiers, with dry food in their hands, fell asleep before taking a few bites.

The first day of the rapid march had already exhausted the soldiers, so even if they were on the battlefield, what was the use? They are incompetent!

In the midst of such worries, he received news that made him even more alarmed. The 20th Tank Division in front had already exchanged fire with the enemy!

The German armored units were moving too quickly, and beyond his medical care, Major General Rokossovsky knew that the situation was bad and he had no choice.

"Quick, order the soldiers to stand up immediately and defend the Stry River, this is our only chance!" Major General Rokossovsky quickly gave an order to the division commander.

The Stry River is a tributary of the Dnieper River, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a moat that spans the north-south direction of Ukraine.

During the day, the exhausted army, after receiving a new order, woke up from its sleep, and finally executed the order without hesitation.

Reconnaissance platoon leader Badakhov, with his detachment, rode a bicycle and quickly headed towards a bridge over the Stry River.

Yes, it's a bike.

Motorized troops should have been equipped with cars, but unfortunately the bicycles belonging to the 131 mechanized division have not arrived, causing them to become a foot army.

And some elite squads in the army, such as reconnaissance companies, need to be equipped with some means of transportation, so bicycles are assigned to them.

In this era, it is definitely quite modern to own a bicycle. The bicycle does not need to consume fuel, and does not need to eat forage. It is flexible and very convenient. other infantry.

This is also the reason why they are most suitable for the current task, they need to use the fastest time to get to that bridge.

The Germans are all mechanized troops, if there is no bridge, their attack will be abruptly stopped!

Quick, must be quick!

The wind was blowing under everyone's feet, pedalling constantly, and the bicycles were dimly lit by the lights in the dark night.

Although they are bicycles, they are not as heavy as motorcycles. They can still carry a lot of weapons. For example, the machine gunner Korolev has a DP-27 light weight on the tripod inside the frame of his bicycle. machine gun.

This turntable machine gun has been around for more than ten years. The handle of the gun has been polished to a bright light. In Korolev's hands, it is still regarded as his favorite weapon. He sleeps every night and hugs this machine gun.

Everyone has a bundle of explosives behind their bicycles, and their mission is to blow up the bridge!

The bicycle was bumping on the undulating road, and finally, the bridge had appeared in front of me.

"Quick, set up a position on the opposite side of the bridge, and immediately put our explosives on the bridge legs!" Badakhov shouted loudly, his voice, mixed with the whistling wind, sounded as if he was also there Breathing constantly.

"Crash la la la." Korolev couldn't help cursing when he heard this voice, damn it, he dropped the chain at the critical moment!

He stopped, threw away his bike, picked up the machine gun, and tried to rush to the bridge over there.

The bridge head to the west was in the direction of the arrival of the Germans. They had to set up a cover position there and wait until the explosives were placed before they could retreat to the east of the bridge, and then wait for the order to blow up the bridge at any time.

However, just as Korolev picked up his machine gun, he heard the sound of a motorcycle coming from his own direction.
