The fighting on the distant positions started with just the sound of machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns firing, but soon came the explosion of grenades, and the faint screams of dying soldiers could be heard.
Not only Ruhle and others were shocked, but even the commanders and soldiers lying in the snow performing lurking missions were also confused. They couldn't understand why the German and Romanian troops were fighting inexplicably.
"Comrade Brigade Commander," seeing the enemy's internal strife, the battalion commanders also asked Ruhle to fight: "The enemy is now in chaos. I think we should attack immediately."
"Okay, understand that the troops will attack." When Ruchlie issued this order, he also specifically added: "Your attack targets are mainly the Romanian army. As for the Germans, it is important that they do not take the initiative to attack us, and you also Don’t fight with them easily.”
Although the commanders of each battalion were puzzled by the order not to engage in firefights with the Germans. However, Soviet commanders and fighters have always been good at obeying orders from their superiors. Since it was an order issued by Ruhle, everyone would naturally carry it out unconditionally.
There was no artillery preparation before the attack, and there were no common signal flares. The commanders and soldiers climbed up from the snow, held their weapons and strode towards the enemy's position.
The Romanian officers and soldiers, who had already fallen into chaos, had no idea why the German armored vehicles that had just arrived at the camp during the day would shoot at their own people after dark. But since the other side had opened fire, they naturally would not sit still and wait for death. They took up arms and fought the Germans regardless of anything.
In the darkness, the commanders and fighters of the tank brigade used the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance as cover to successfully approach the enemy's first defensive position. The beaten Romanian-Taiwanese troops were stunned. At this time, all their attention was attracted by the Germans hiding in the armored vehicles. No one bothered to take a closer look at the Soviet troops approaching the position.
As soon as the Soviet commanders and soldiers jumped into the trench, they started fighting with the Romanian officers and soldiers hiding inside. Seeing the Soviet commanders and fighters like magic soldiers descending from the sky, the Romanian officers and soldiers resisted for a moment, and then began to flee in all directions under the cover of night. The German machine guns that were shooting wildly here saw the Soviet troops jumping into the trenches and starting a melee with the Romanians. They immediately turned their guns and shot at the location where other Romanian troops were gathering.
The Soviet commanders and fighters who saw the performance of these German armored vehicles had puzzled expressions on their faces: "Why didn't the Germans shoot at us? What on earth is going on?"
Fortunately, Ruhle had the foresight to order his commanders and soldiers to stay on equal footing with the German armored vehicles before the troops attacked. During the battle, many soldiers approached the German armored vehicles. Not only did the machine guns inside not shoot at them, but they also turned their guns and shot elsewhere.
"Hey!" Kogor rushed in front of an armored vehicle and yelled at the machine gun that was shooting in other directions: "Which unit are you from?"
Soon, the armored vehicle stopped shooting, and a voice came from inside and asked, "Which part are you from?"
"We are from the 19th Independent Tank Brigade. Which part are you in?"
"We are from the 67th Guards Division and were ordered to perform missions here."
After hearing the other party's answer, Kogor immediately understood what was going on. The Germans in these armored vehicles were all disguised as friendly comrades. No wonder they would shoot at the Romanian army. Kogor turned around and took a flag from a flagman's hand, walked to the armored vehicle, and pounded the steel plate of the armored vehicle with his fist.
A soldier wearing a steel helmet opened the car door and asked Kegor standing outside: "Comrade Captain, what's the matter?"
Ke Geer handed over the red flag in his hand and said: "Put this red flag on the roof of your car to avoid misunderstandings with your own people."
The soldiers of the Guards Division felt the same way, and quickly took the red flag from Kogor's hand and placed it next to the armored vehicle. Seeing the red flag raised next to the armored vehicle, the soldiers who were rushing over immediately realized that the emotional armored vehicles were all disguised by their own people. Could it be that they would open fire on the Germans.
The burning trees in the distance illuminated the entire position like daylight. This allowed Ruhelie, who was observing the battle from far behind, to see clearly everything that happened.
