Chapter 360: A large wave of Soviet troops is approaching

"You mean, the purpose of this elite Soviet unit is to attack our airfield?" Scholz, who was lying on his stomach, slowly stood up and asked the chief of staff after carefully studying the map. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's right. The identities of these enemies have been determined, and their corpses are also leggings, a feature that only proves that they are enemies from the swamp. Moreover, in terms of the casualties we have suffered, only this unit can inflict such a great deal of trauma on us. ”

"Are you embarrassed to talk about this? My honor has once again been trampled on by the same enemy. ”

The bruises on Scholz's forehead were bursting, three battalions couldn't eat one battalion, and the previous two regiments couldn't defeat one of them. After losing again and again, my self-confidence is about to collapse!

Swagger paused: "No matter what, there is no way for our soldiers to fight poorly. Even with heavy weapons, there are state-of-the-art rocket-propelled grenade systems. Our firepower is actually not able to catch up with the enemy, and in terms of the quality of our soldiers, we also have the upper hand. So we're facing a very tricky problem right now. ”

"That is, we did not destroy them, so this enemy will attack the airfield."

"That's for sure." Swagger immediately listed the battles that had taken place on the road, and Schultz's ears were almost calloused.

The division commander pondered a little.

He knew exactly what the composition of the three battalions he had sent was, a group of logistics troops, and it was difficult for them to become so-called elite troops through training in a short period of time. In addition, in order to cope with forest warfare, the search team was equipped with a large number of submachine guns, so that these logistics battalions were equipped with a large number of submachine guns.

Before 1940, a German infantry squad of 10 people, except for the machine gun shooter, the other eight were all equipped with Mauser rifles. Later, submachine gunners were added, so much so that in small battles, such as street battles in cities, forest stations, the continuity of German fire was simply worrying. Once the Heavy is killed, or the machine gun is destroyed, the infantry firepower is at its peak.

It was this decision to choose between one and the other, yes, such as Svering's battalion, where machine gunners were killed with precision, tanks could not advance into the deep forest, and submachine guns were massively withdrawn. After the loss of RPGs and mortars, the last three sturges were destroyed, and the superiority of German firepower was lost.

At this moment, Schultz thought of a bunch of excuses and reported them to his superiors.

He himself knew very well that with the current manpower and material resources of the 715th Division, it was impossible to deal with the "swamp guerrilla brigade" on its own, and in terms of its combat effectiveness, if they were not the main force of the elite of the Soviet army, then the Soviet army would have no main force.

He double-checked and asked Swagger, "You mean very clearly. This Soviet army, the purpose of which is to attack the airfield?! ”

"That's right! That's certainly what they're doing, but I'm still a little skeptical. If they are going to attack the airfield, why do they have to fight to the death with our army? Are they so confident? Tanks, assault guns are not afraid, and even our RPGs. Please see in the newspaper that they are equipped with the same RPG as us! ”

"The enemy's new weapons must have been brought in from their rear. Even the previous airdrops of the Soviets were brought in! Schultz slapped the table angrily, his emotions stirring. As everyone knows, if he knew that this Soviet army was only 135 people, and finally sacrificed 36 people to create such a big result, he might have fainted on the spot.

The enemy is strong, and their target is the airfield. But Schultz believed that after such a fierce battle, intelligence showed that the battle lasted for five hours. Losses aside, all the fighters alive were out of breath. The enemy, these Soviets are not gods either, they are just as tired as they are.

Scholz immediately made a decision - to warn the airport.

On the other hand, Paul had just returned to where he had taken off.

Air Force Captain Koch only asked for the precise information he had brought back, and while Balzen was fighting with the enemy, Paul explained everything he knew.

Therefore, the bombing campaign was about to begin, in the early morning of the next day.

In the afternoon, all the pilots gathered, and Koch personally explained to them the plan for tomorrow's battle.

In particular, he emphasized: "The enemy we are facing is very tenacious. You must not think of it as an ordinary guerrilla, never think of it as such. They must be regular troops, and even have their own numbers. Now, I don't care what their numbers are, I will destroy their airfield according to the route planned on the map. Cut off the route of its air supply! ”

In the future battle, pilot Adler is determined to win. The results of the last bombing of Homnich were unknown, and he had no sense of honor in such a fruitless operation.

He and his pilots had already begun to prepare for the air raid, which would involve ten dive bombers, and four more BF109s to escort them, considering that the Soviets might release fighter jets to counterattack.

Just as they were preparing, Captain Koch received an early warning from friendly forces.

"It's crazy! This group of people is simply stupid, they can't hold a single highway, what should we do now? Koch yelled, taking the people in the air command by surprise. When asked for details, people's faces were full of shock.

Why? Because the garrison near the airfield is very weak.

Schultz said in communications that he had sent four battalions to reinforce it, and that Nicklaus's tank forces had begun to move to reinforce the airfield.

At present, there is only one battalion of troops stationed in the airport area, in addition to this, there are field hospitals, and some supporting facilities. After all, pilots require a high standard of living, and some volunteers from Germany also live in the cantonment area next to the airport.

Koch didn't receive this information until eight o'clock in the evening, and he stood up like a fried cat, every pore of sweat standing up. That very night, he simply sounded the air defense alarm.

A large crowd rushed out of the dormitory door, creating a real mess.

Koch's defense of this airfield was almost abandoned. "Do you think that if there are a few divisions stationed, the airport will be absolutely safe?!" He really wanted to scold and beat people, but at the most critical juncture, his own people actually dragged their feet.

The pilot can still be dispatched quickly, and the technician is much slower. And those troops stationed there are simply a mess.

Everyone gathered at the airport, and Koch decisively ordered the alarm to be turned off, and he took someone to the airport himself.

He didn't show that anger, because it was useless to be angry. He immediately announced the latest situation, that is, an elite unit of the Soviets, breaking through the friendly lines and fighting all the way to the airfield.

Suddenly, there was a loud whining in the crowd. "These stupid people, all scared silly?!" At this moment, Koch has no choice, even if it is a rabble, the airport defense has to be carried out!

It may have been a sleepless night, and at this dangerous juncture, Koch ordered the pilots of the Sunrise mission to continue to rest, and as for the rest, all the servicemen living near the airport, all those who could afford to take up arms, including the Germans and Ukrainian workers loyal to Germany, all took up arms and built a defensive offensive at this airfield in case of a sudden war.

So the German movement was actually very fast, and Koch mobilized more than 800 people, even the families of the soldiers, as well as clerks, to devote themselves to the construction of fortifications.

And what about Balzen? The reconnaissance company marched for another two hours, and everyone finally stopped.

Natasha's little head was groggy because she was too tired. Most of the fighters lost their tents, but the blankets were not thrown away. These military wool blankets look thin, but they are actually like thermal insulation, and soldiers can enjoy endless warmth when wrapped like meat dumplings.

So most people are lazy, so they simply take off their backpacks and fall asleep immediately wrapped in blankets.

Balzen was no exception, but a sentry had to be arranged before going to sleep. He ordered his soldiers to be loaded and ready to go into battle quickly. After all, as the proverb says - the enemy will not rest.

He went out of his way to see Natasha's situation, and saw the girl snuggled under a big tree that blocked the wind and cold, and a snow wall was improvised with snow on both sides. Natasha was already asleep, she also did as ordered, and the magazine of the sniper rifle was full of bullets.

Balzen patted the girl's body and sighed, "Today's battle is really hard for you. Sleep in peace tonight. (To be continued.) )
