There was a commotion as soon as the Soviet gliders landed. The Soviet soldiers did not have many other skills, but there was no shortage of soldiers who were not afraid of death. About half of their gliders failed to land normally, which meant that many gliders collided with each other. They climbed onto buildings or ruins, but even so, the injured Soviet soldiers still crawled out and started beating and killing randomly, even if they were Soviet civilians standing in front of them.

The most feared thing in a night battle is the enemy's infiltration. Even if there are not many troops, such a fight will mess up the position, just like the Soviet troops who invaded the east bank of Holm before and the German army used tunnels to infiltrate into the rear.

However, it should be said that infiltration warfare has a lot to do with quality. Troops with poor quality often fall into chaos as soon as they are infiltrated, while troops with good quality can maintain their form.

The German army is obviously the latter. To be precise, the German army still has a strict internal and external division of labor in Holm. The internal defense line is managed by the police force, and the external defense line is defended by the Wehrmacht. There is even some discord between the police force and the defense force. The two look down on each other, so the lines are very clear.

If this were placed elsewhere, it would obviously not be a good thing and would not be united enough.

But everything has its two sides, and this situation allowed the German army to cope with the Soviet infiltration war very well... The vast majority of gliders landed inside, that is, in the defense zone of the police force, so chaos was also chaos in the police force. , the National Defense Forces are still fighting as they should. What needs to be paid attention to is to arrange a team of people in the rear to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks.

Therefore, the Soviet infiltration war was always limited to a controllable range. Although some Soviet infiltration personnel were not cleared until dawn, the impact was not significant.

Of course, this was also expected by Pukayev, and he did not place his hopes on these infiltrators.

Just as the gliders caused a commotion in Holm, several more gliders swooped down from the night sky and landed near the school.

It was better to say it was a crash than a "landing". The reason was that the school did not have a suitable landing place at all... Schools in this era did not have large playgrounds like modern schools. They only had an open space in front of the school. Moreover, there are swings and slides built in this open space as an activity place for students. When the gliders landed, they hit these things one by one and turned into a pile of scrap metal immediately. Two of them hit the school wall hard and made two big holes in it.

But these are exactly what the Soviet army hoped for, or it can be said that they have known that such a situation and result would happen... The Soviet reconnaissance planes had clearly reconnoitred the terrain here during the day.

However, these gliders still have to land here.

The reason was for no other reason than that these gliders were not carrying people, but equipment, weapons and equipment brought for Soviet prisoners... The gliders might be crashed, but rifles, bullets and grenades were not so easy. If they were damaged, they would even spill out from the broken body due to the impact, making 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.

Objectively speaking, Pukayev did this as a last resort... It is 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 supplies. Even if It was difficult to airdrop supplies to German-controlled areas during the day, let alone airdrops near the school at night.

So they had only one option, and that was to use a glider.

Only gliders could accurately bring a large number of weapons and equipment to the school, and there were even two gliders that could break through the walls for the prisoners.

The Soviet prisoners who had been prepared for a long time couldn't help but cheered when they saw this, and poured out from the collapsed wall like a flood that burst a dike.

Matevitch followed the team and shouted: "Pick up your weapons, comrades, and prove to Comrade Stalin that your time has come. Defeat the fascists and fight for freedom. Let us return to the embrace of the motherland!"

Matevich's words were very useful to the Soviet army. All the Soviet soldiers rushed towards the wreckage of the glider and grabbed the weapons and equipment scattered on the ground. After grabbing them, they immediately walked towards the darkness with their weapons in hand. The German police troops stationed outside the barbed wire fence launched a charge.

but……

What they didn't know was that the line of defense was no longer manned by police forces.

With a "Teng" sound, several searchlights lit up outside the school, illuminating the school in white. The Soviet soldiers who were snatching weapons and equipment couldn't help but stop their movements and look around in horror, but under the dazzling light, they Nothing can be seen.

Matevich felt that the situation was not good at the first moment, because this seemed to mean that the German army was prepared.

Sure enough, a jerky Russian call came from the loudspeaker: "Hello, Soviet soldiers! Using gliders to airdrop equipment is indeed a very good idea. To be precise, it is perfect, but unfortunately, we have been prepared for this. Now, Put down your weapons and come out with your hands up, otherwise... you know what will happen!"

Several Soviet soldiers raised their hands in fear. They didn't even have time to grab their weapons.

But after a few gunshots, these Soviet soldiers were knocked to the ground.

It was Matevich who fired the shot. He believed that there should be no mercy at this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't believe them!" Matevich said: "You know, the Germans are out of strength. Listen to the gunshots coming. Our troops are attacking Holm with all their strength. They have no ability to stop us! Pick up your guns Weapons, fight for Stalin, fight for the motherland, defeat these fascists!”

"For Stalin, for the Soviets!"

The Soviet soldiers shouted and rushed towards the German defense lines. Those who picked up weapons raised their guns and shot randomly at the perimeter.

But these are of no avail, because Qinchuan has transferred all the more than ten tanks captured from the Soviet army here, and is now surrounding these Soviet prisoners in a circle.

Of course, the Soviet prisoners did not discover these tanks, otherwise they might choose to lay down their weapons.

"Fire!"

Following Qin Chuan's order, the German army pulled the trigger on the Soviet prisoners who were rushing towards them.

The bullets poured out by rifles and machine guns were nothing, because the flames ejected by the tank guns immediately covered their light... The tanks were aimed at the location of the glider, where a large group of Soviet troops were snatching weapons.

As soon as the cannon fired, dozens of Soviet soldiers crowded there flew into the sky together with the ammunition that had not had time to disperse.
