>soldiers of group A attack a position held by soldiers of group B, shoot them until they mostly stop moving and take control of whatever was the point of the position
>not all of group B actually got instakilled but group A was in a hurry for the objective because of reasons
what happens in this situation? what priority is checking on downed enemies when you've also got other things to do? what happens when you miss one? have people gotten shot in the back like this?
generally just what happens when you lose a firefight, aren't dead, but don't do an organized surrender?
there has to be some crazy WW2 story about this kind of thing so tell it to me.

Usual military procedure is to put 2 bullets in the chest, and then 1 in the head when the enemy is downed.
In your example, the number 1 priority for the soldiers of group A would be to put 1 or 2 extra bullets in the fallen fighters of group B when they enter the position.

This is one purpose for having a rear guard, mop up stragglers.
I have no combat experience but from what I've seen in footage (Syria) they usually make sure you are dead before they move on regardless.
If it came down to conventional western armies I'm almost positive the rear guard checks bodies for Intel and provides medical aid to the wounded, pile the dead.
