Such a big problem as the crazy legion was placed in front of the two division commanders at the same time. The joy of surviving a desperate situation has disappeared from the face of the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division. He frowned more tightly, bit his lip, and closed his bloodshot eyes slightly, thinking painfully. Several group leaders, who were also covered in mud and unshaven, with a smell of sweat, blood, and gunpowder smoke that was comparable to poison gas bombs, were sitting around him, as silent as stone Buddhas. Of course they knew that a force must stay behind to cover them, otherwise no one would be able to escape, but after rolling back and forth in the bloody mud several times at the Gate of Hell, they were already exhausted, and of course they would when they had no way out. I will fight to the end without hesitation, using automatic rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers and mortars to fight to the death with the oncoming Chinese troops. Anyway, I will not survive, and I will have to back up a few of you no matter what! But now that they have a chance to live, they certainly hope that the goddess of luck will favor them more. If they can live, no one wants to die. Those who stay to cover are certain to die. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The air force cannot cover them for long. No one can guarantee whether the helicopter group's next attack will be as smooth as it is now. Everyone wants to escape from this bloody place as soon as possible. On the battlefield, go back to the rear and sleep with your head covered for three days and three nights! After a series of bloody killings, the entire division suffered heavy casualties and was already frightened. But they had done well enough, and no one could ask for more. Now, no matter which regiment is allowed to stay and cover, it would be too cruel for that regiment. Even if the regiment leader is willing, his soldiers may not be willing! There was a thunderous sound of artillery in the distance, and the staff reported that the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division had been violently blocked by a Soviet motorized infantry division. Now the two armies were huddled together, and there were at least three battalions of Soviet troops. Quickly penetrate towards the left wing of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division. I believe that as time goes by, more and more Soviet troops will surround them. After fighting for so long, the Soviet army has yet to create an example of annihilating a single Double-Headed Eagle division in the ground battle - not counting the Dahong 1st Division, which was blown up by shock wave bombs. The Soviet generals must have hoped to do so. Break this record? Warlike Slavs! The commander of the 187th Airborne Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division became a little anxious and said: "General, we don't have much time! You must make a decision as soon as possible!" The division commander was silent for a while and said: "The 9th Cavalry Regiment and the Artillery Headquarters are staying with me. Cover the entire division's retreat!" He punched the table hard, "After the wounded and other troops have been evacuated across the river, we will break out from the ground and fight our way through with the support of our brother troops. Nothing will be difficult for Jianguo. The commanders and brigade commanders were stunned for a moment, and the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade shouted: "Commander, you can't stay! The enemy will not give the rear troops any chance to retreat!" The division commander said sternly! : "So what!? I still have nearly a hundred tanks and dozens of self-propelled artillery in my hands. As long as I make up my mind to break through, can they stop me?" It was impossible to break out even when the main force had withdrawn and ammunition was scarce. The commander of the 9th Cavalry Regiment suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Division Commander, you must go! Now the 1st Cavalry Division has suffered the most disastrous defeat since its formation. If you make any mistakes, the entire division will be finished! Besides, we The Ninth Cavalry Regiment doesn¡¯t need the division commander to teach it how to fight!¡± The commander of the third brigade said: ¡°Our brigade headquarters and the Ninth Cavalry Regiment will stay together, and the division headquarters must evacuate immediately!¡± The division commander said sternly! : "Don't you listen to my orders? Get out of here, take your troops to the helicopter, and go as far as possible!" All the regiment commanders and brigade commanders stood up together and yelled: "Division Commander" If we don't leave, we won't leave! No matter how badly they are defeated, the First Cavalry Division has never had the tradition of abandoning its headquarters and running away!" The roar of propellers was heard outside, and the medical helicopter took off into the sky full of wounded people and flew into the distance. The division commander stared at his trusted generals and shouted: "Get out! Get on the plane immediately!" The generals looked at the division commander stubbornly, with no intention of giving in. The division commander's lips trembled, he stood up slowly, patted the shoulders of several brigade commanders one by one, and his voice trembled slightly: "Thank you, thank you, you are all defeated and still willing to share life and death with me, a defeated general. ! Thank you! But I really can¡¯t leave. I am the backbone of the entire division. Once I leave, the entire army will be in chaos! I must stay. You should go quickly and take your young men back. Bring a few more back, our First Cavalry Division has shed too much blood on this battlefield, no more deaths, please!¡± The commander of the third brigade said word by word: ¡°Because you are the backbone of the whole division, You have to leave! We are still waiting for you to lead us out of the shadow of failure, wash away the shame, and make the founding fathers division stronger! Our division has been crippled, but as long as the division commander is here, we can soonIt's working! Master, please, leave quickly! He glanced across the faces of his comrades one by one and said, "You should leave quickly, but remember to keep the ammunition. We will rely on these ammunition to fight the enemy to the end!" Take the teacher with you, please! Seeing that the division commander still had no intention of leaving, he roared: "Guard, send the division commander to the helicopter!" " Several beefy guards came over in response. Ignoring the division commander's kicks and scolds, they picked him up and ran out. The division staff followed, and there were suddenly fewer people in the headquarters. The commanders of the third brigade came one by one. I hugged each brigade commander and cherished each other. Everyone felt as if there was a ball of cow hair in their throats. They felt very uncomfortable, their eyes were sore, and they felt like crying. After this farewell, I am afraid there will be no chance to see each other again. The commander of the first brigade said: "Don't be too desperate. If you really can't hold on any longer, just surrender. We are fighting a famous ace group of the Chinese army. We lost to them when their equipment, technology and quantity were at a disadvantage. What a shame! " The commander of the third brigade smiled bitterly: "Then the enemy must give me a chance to surrender Don't talk so much, let's go. If we are lucky, we will see you after the war is over. "The two hugged again and said goodbye with tears. One went to direct the troops to board the plane and evacuate, while the other commanded the troops to gradually shrink the defense line and prepare to defend. This was their last hug. After a long silence, the commander of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division said He told the commander of the air assault group: "Carry away all the wounded. If there are still helicopters available, please carry away these bodies as well." "The commander said: "But the order we received is to withdraw the active forces and the wounded General, you should be very clear, what we need now are soldiers who can continue to fight, more than ever! "The teacher said: "Of course I know! But I know better that if I retreat by helicopter, I have to leave behind at least one regiment or even one brigade. I can't do this! Help us carry away the wounded and bodies, and we will retreat under the cover of the air force! "The commander said: "General, you are making a joke with the fate of the entire division! "The division commander said: "The retreat by helicopter is really a joke on the fate of the entire division! Don't forget, the enemy has a type of fighter plane that specializes in hunting helicopters. If the air force's bombing fails to destroy them, there will be a massacre waiting for the retreating troops! Stop talking nonsense and put the wounded and bodies on the plane quickly. Next time you come over, remember to help us bring more assault boats, rubber boats, and life buoys! "The commander could not convince the stubborn old man. He sighed and ordered his subordinates to carry the wounded and the bodies in body bags onto the helicopter. The casualties of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division were quite scary, with hundreds of them at the division headquarters alone. Many of the wounded had just been carried off the front line. They were being carried non-stop to the helicopter even before the bleeding had stopped. The wounded screamed in pain at the slightest bump, and the nurse repeatedly comforted them: "Hold on, hold on." It's okay, everything will be fine! "There were even more bodies. After loading the wounded, all the transport helicopters were stuffed with body bags. Even the Black Hawk, which was used as an armed helicopter, also packed a lot of them. In order to pack more bodies, the bodies were layered like straw. After pushing it up and down, the hatch could hardly be closed. Of course, there was no problem for the helicopter to take off normally, but after returning to the base, the soldiers at the base opened the hatch and saw a lot of them in bags. How would they feel when the corpses rolled down with a crash? But no matter what, they loaded most of the remains onto the plane. Under the impatient urging of the armed helicopter pilots, these heavy helicopters took off one after another. , the soldiers who were left behind raised their heads and watched the helicopters spray-painted with red cross patterns slowly go away. Apart from envy, there was only blessing. The rain was getting heavier, and they had been riding on the 1st Division and the 4th Mechanized Division. The fleet of aircraft hovering above the infantry division flew in the direction of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, randomly throwing unfinished bombs on the heads of the Soviet troops who were fighting fiercely with the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, and then the huge helicopter group returned. Returning, for these airmen who risked crashing at any time and attacked in heavy rain, the mission was completed. All they had to do now was to go back and rest and wait for the next attack. However, they laughed a little too early. Seeing the dense swarm of locusts flying towards the other side of the Dnieper River, Liu Weiping clicked his tongue twice, waved his hand at the nasty group of flies, and shouted: "You guys, thank you for your hard work! Go to the 18th level of hell and have a good sleep for ten or twenty years! "In his wails, engines roared from far to near, and more than a hundred turboprop fighters roared heavily, like a strong wind sweeping across the wilderness, rushing towards the helicopter group! The commander of the 9th Cavalry Regiment was commanding the troops to deploy the defense line, and suddenly He was thrown down by a battalion commander and was covered in mud. He was about to get angry when the battalion commander pointed to the sky. He looked up in confusion and felt as if he had been hit.They froze as if they were under a magic spell, staring blankly at the fleet of planes that almost passed by their scalps, and their hands trembled uncontrollably! He was no stranger to this kind of propeller-equipped fighter plane. It was this old-fashioned but weird fighter plane that caused the First Cavalry Division to lose 80% of its helicopters in two days, making the NATO Army Aviation Corps shudder. I don¡¯t even dare to move on the front line anymore! This group of devils did not block the helicopters when they came over. They did not attack when the helicopters circled over the battlefield and tried their best to load people. It was not until now that every helicopter except the armed helicopters was filled with people that they showed up. Could it be that¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The regiment leader shuddered for a while, and howled like a wounded beast at the fighter planes flying overhead: "Which bastard made the tactics?! You are so vicious, aren't you afraid of annihilating your descendants!!!" What responded to him was the roar of the Type 77 self-propelled artillery that almost made people's blood spurt out of their ears.
