The German army has begun to thoroughly implement the order of the regiment commander, and due to the strong support of the division commander, for a time the infantry regiments at the forefront of the 707th Division have begun the "great logging project". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For the understanding of the division commander's orders, the people below are extremely simple and rude.

Belarus has a particularly large forest, especially at the edge of the marshland, where the soil and water are so abundant that the trees grow taller and taller. Due to the sparse population, a large number of Korean pines are often more than 100 years old, so the trunks are particularly thick. The other birch trees, most of which are not thick, are surprisingly tall. In addition, there are oak trees and elm trees, which are basically mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests.

How do you make these big trees fall down quickly one by one? With only soldiers carrying axes, tandem saws, and manpower to bring them down, it is foreseeable that most of them will lose their strength after cutting some of them.

How to get it down efficiently? The best thing to do is explosives!

A large number of military explosives were strapped to the target tree, each of which was plugged into a detonator and connected in series with wire. The Germans were rigorous and pragmatic, and the amount of explosives used was different for trees of different perimeters. They planned to detonate all targets in a single detonation, and use the means of directional blasting of buildings for violent logging.

The Germans were able to lay explosives to the maximum extent and detonate them at one time, and at the construction site, often 20 explosives were connected in series, and the sappers also pulled nearly 100 meters of metal wires and tied them to the positive and negative poles of the detonator.

For a while, there were continuous explosions in the forest, as if it were a war exchange.

In addition to this, there are also a large number of people who rely on traditional methods of logging to save explosives.

The tall and straight trees collapsed one by one, and this scene was naturally detected by the Soviet army.

The scouts remained calm and hidden, except for the discovery that the enemy was blowing up the tree and a large number of personnel cutting the trunk on the spot, and seeing a large number of military trucks pulling the trunk towards their position. It is not surprising that the enemy is simply logging, but the scale of their logging is also terrifying.

Balzen also did not know what the enemy was going to do, their actions were simply inexplicable, and this matter could only be decided by the division headquarters.

……

It was already March 28, and the 284th Division had communicated with the Far Front Headquarters through powerful electromagnetic waves, and relying on the latest codebook, they had obtained accurate information that had been encrypted twice. The so-called airdrop operation was finally scheduled for the early hours of March 30.

Generally speaking, the German Air Force is not good at night fighting, while the Soviet Army is fully aware of the location of the airdrop target area, and the escort role of fighters along the way may be difficult to reflect. The swarm will reach its target at 10 a.m. and return to the sun, which is the only time the swarm is at its most dangerous. For this reason, fighters must carry multiple auxiliary fuel tanks, and bombers and transport planes that undertake transportation tasks must also be adjusted and equipped with more fuel.

In the past few days, the airdrop plan has been adjusted again, and the promise of 720 tons of supplies must be fulfilled, and in addition to this, there is also an airborne regiment! The weight of the aircraft put into operation also continued to soar, and the original 125 was no longer enough, and on March 30, 200 bombers, transport planes and heavy gliders will be put into operation.

Timoshenko also emphasized: "The increase in the amount of aircraft input is an order of the leader. ”

Since it was Stalin's order, then there would be no more changes in this matter! Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov and others were really excited, the three collective farms and barracks were urgently mobilized, and everyone rushed to the area under their responsibility in full gear, waiting to receive the gifts that fell from the sky.

Shortly after the order was issued, the division headquarters was informed of a new situation from the front.

Yang Mingzhi likes to go to the arsenal as always, and there have been some results in the manufacture of large equipment for the fertilizer plant, and huge metal pipes are being intensely heat-welded.

It was already afternoon, and he was sweating profusely and supervising the work of the workers in the hot workshop. A herald rushed to the front, claiming that new information had arrived at the front.

What else can happen at the front? It was nothing more than that Balzen was fighting with the Germans again. Yang Mingzhi didn't think so much about it until he came to the division headquarters, and Yevlov, who had been waiting here, talked about the front line -- the enemy was actually blowing up trees inexplicably.

The translated telegram manuscript was handed over to Yang Mingzhi, and because the content of these words was too peculiar, he had to ask the telegraph operator again.

"That's what they came in, although for some reason, the Germans were logging on a large scale, and even using explosives extensively!" Since the telegraph operator was so sure, Yang Mingzhi was now completely convinced.

He turned his head to look at Yevlov, "What do you think now, what the hell are the Germans doing?" ”

"Maybe they feel that their position is too short of wood?" Yevlov pinched this waist. When it was his turn to be resourceful, he sighed that he was not as good as the person in front of him, so the problem was in front of him, and Berekov couldn't figure it out, what else could he do?

Yang Mingzhi took the telegram draft like this, returned to the office of the division headquarters and sat down.

What exactly is the enemy doing? Just simply logging, thereby fortifying their positions? But Balzen said that throughout the region, the enemy is actively logging. With so much timber demand, they have to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction to build huge military camps?

But there are more trees in this area, why did the enemy have to choose the forest in front of the position, and there are big trees in other places, why not cut them down?

With that in mind, look at some of the words on the telegram draft. He saw the words "all" and "indiscriminate", so the Germans were cutting down trees indiscriminately, regardless of the type of tree, the thickness of the trunk or not, as long as it was a tree, they used all kinds of means to make it fall.

It seems that this simply cannot be explained by the lack of timber so large-scale logging.

"How many of them are there? But three thousand people, do you need that much wood? Could it be that each of them is building a coffin for himself?! Yang Mingzhi said to himself.

This is actually a bit funny, Yevlov looked at Yang Mingzhi for a long time, amused by these words. "Haha, if the enemy is willing to commit suicide, then shoot himself, and we will collect the corpse for them."

"Forget it! Comrade division commander! The enemy is definitely engaged in a conspiracy. They were clearing the forest on the southern side of the position, which meant that there was no grass there, so why did they do that? ”

"You ask me?" Yevlov scratched his head, "Maybe you're afraid of us?" I'm afraid that we will suddenly rush out and break through their position after running a few hundred meters! ”

This sentence completely woke up Yang Mingzhi! "Oops! Why didn't I think about it right away! They have cleared a long depth in which our infantry would be exposed at a great distance if they were to attack! The suddenness of the attack is gone. This is simply the most plausible explanation! ”
