Chapter 416: Decoy Tactics
Yang Mingzhi didn't know that the German army was not far from the battlefield, and he didn't know that the enemy's scouts had followed the smoke of the battlefield and spied the entire wide battlefield, and they also knew that Nicklaus was completely annihilated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The battle is over, and the rest remains daunting.
Those who were supposed to be evacuated left in captured trucks, and many of the remaining lightly wounded, whom they decided to leave behind without hesitation, to meet the enemy, who seemed to be going to attack the swamps.
After the battle, in the area of the initial engagement, Yang Mingzhi planned this place as a future line of defense. Just after the war, the corpses on the battlefield are being collected, and the lost firearms and ammunition are also being collected.
Yang Mingzhi ordered Ninelly and Vasiliev, who suffered very small losses: "I order your troops to immediately begin to expand the original positions of the German army, and to build a ring fortification system here. ”
Ninelli was puzzled by this order, he was the first local militia in the swamp to come into contact with Yang Mingzhi, and he was less afraid of this rather approachable commander. He asked: "If we expand our positions, do we want to stay here and fight a positional battle with the Germans?" ”
"That's right, that's what I decided." Yang Mingzhi replied decisively.
He decided to defend the battlefield for no other reason, and the land was still in shambles a few hours after the battle ended. The fallen Soviet fighters were reined in, and as for the Germans, rot here. It's just that all kinds of equipment on the enemy's body have been followed, such as the important steel helmet belt, which has been handed over to the people returning home.
They left, leaving as many as 4,000 fighting troops. For no other reason, Tchaikov's subordinates joined the troops. Half of them were regular Soviet troops, and when they heard that there was going to be a positional battle, they all stayed, including Tchaikov himself, and only the wounded were withdrawn.
The sky is getting dark, and the flames of the battlefield are still burning!
Those armored vehicles that were blown to pieces, or grenades that were thrown in by lifting the roof cover. The fuel in their tanks is still burning, and the place will be dotted with stars when night falls.
In the evening, the fortifications were still being built. The soldiers were working, and Yang Mingzhi recruited the commanders of each battalion to his side to make plans for the battle below.
As the sun sets, the soft and dusky sun shines on the white clouds, and the sunset is very beautiful even though the weather is cold. The battlefield is still full of corpses, and the dusk battlefield has nowhere to talk about desolation.
Soviet soldiers performed their duties, some of them temporarily fortified and rested in a forest, and the officers and men of two battalions continued to wield sapper shovels. Another company of soldiers was moving captured German ammunition into the trenches being dug, and even the five German field guns were dragged by the combined efforts of the soldiers.
Several officers gathered at the temporary command headquarters to wait for the order of the deputy division commander.
"Well, your warriors really have no problem digging trenches." Yang Mingzhi was a little uneasy about Ninelli, after all, most of his people were militiamen.
But this man looked confident, he patted his chest and said: "Although the commander is on the defensive line, I am acting according to the infantry drill code, and my platoon commanders are also digging trenches according to this standard." ”
"That's good, that's good." After Yang Mingzhi nodded, he sat cross-legged and puffed up his chest again, and said solemnly: "Niklaus, a German, has been escorted back, and he is very arrogant to explain that tens of thousands of German troops are heading south, and the infantry regiment named Hoffmann is the closest to us. During this time, the weather has been very clear, and the Black Rock after the tank was destroyed was simply a broadcasting tower, and the enemy could see the smoke from a radius of more than ten kilometers.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to human existence, arrogance is. We must remain vigilant and not be complacent about this victory, for I'm sure that Hoffman will see the smoke of our battlefield and even hear the sound of continuous explosions, and they will probably be lying in ambush somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to attack us. ”
"Probably not!" Evgeny was a little incredulous, "If they were near us, it would be the best time to attack us." If they go into battle, we will be flanked in front and back, and perhaps we will lose a lot. ”
"Come on, my friend, that guy's name is Hoffman. We almost destroyed his entire regiment in Homnich, the 715th Division has always been our defeated commander, and in the previous encounter, I was pursued by two battalions, and I dealt them a brutal blow! Balzen was very disdainful of the 715th Division and was somewhat dissatisfied with Evgeny's words. He even took Natasha, who was habitually waiting for Yang Mingzhi's side, as an example. "My hero sniper hit at least a hundred of them, and this rabble not only has poor infantry tactics and poor weaponry, but also personal military qualities."
Being praised like this, Natasha smiled shyly. However, the battle was terrible, and many comrades were sacrificed, and the sacrifice of comrades was frustrating compared to the destruction of the enemy.
Seeing these people talking about it, Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and quieted everyone down.
"Comrades, there is some truth in what Evgeny said. Let's assume that the enemy is near us, why don't they dare to take the initiative to attack. I suspect they must have been very jealous of us, because Nicklaus claimed that they had sent tens of thousands of men to encircle Tchaikov and Gomel. If I were a German and saw that the Soviet army was numbering in the thousands, a fool would suddenly attack!
Or maybe the Germans were still far away, and they didn't advance at the time of the battle. ”
Both statements make sense, everyone didn't think about it so much, and everyone had a backbone when Yang Mingzhi said this.
"The military commander has to be the deputy division commander, and with you, we will definitely win the battle." Balzen said flatteringly.
"These praises will be talked about at the commendation meeting when we have won the battle, and it is too early to talk about victory, and we will talk about it when we destroy these 10,000 people."
Yang Mingzhi is very ambitious, and the word "elimination" surprised everyone. Is the deputy division commander so confident? Eat 10,000 of them, and imagine that if this is successful, it will be a major victory in the whole war!
So Yang Mingzhi really has the confidence to destroy all the enemies who come to attack? This is, of course, a metaphorical statement. He said: "It seems that you are all surprised, yes, it may be difficult to take out 10,000 men, but it is still possible to deal with Hoffman's defeated men." After our investigation, we also have a certain understanding of Hoffman and Floyd. The rest of us just have to find a way to lure them into beating us. ”
Because the Germans had been intent on destroying the Soviet forces in the swamps, the previous air raids were simply the best proof of this. Besides, the German airfields were also blown up by retaliatory attacks, and once they found out that the troops of the 284th Division would inevitably choose to attack. Yang Mingzhi was sure of this, it would be strange if they didn't attack.
Yang Mingzhi decided to divide his troops into two routes, with the female soldiers of Nineli, Vasilyev, and Joshua participating in the positional battle, and Doronin's artillery as fire support, setting up an artillery position not far from the position, and they would mainly serve the captured field artillery.
Evgeny and Ravlenty, Tchaikov, these three battalions broke away from their positions and hid in the forest. As soon as the Germans appeared and attacked, the unit made a tactical detour, interspersed with their back and beat them in the ass.
"It's called a combination of detours and central flowering, and it's the only one we can use compared to other troops. Other Soviet units always rushed after the artillery bombarded the tanks, and the tanks rushed after the infantry, and the infantry, that is, the army stabbed on the rifles and the enemy with bayonets. This hard push of plane fire is not suitable for us, and our army must be flexible. Because the most elite troops are under my command. ”
"So we're not elite?" Joshua was not happy, this woman really wanted to lead the female soldiers to fight a real resistance battle, and she needed to give the troops souls.
Yang Mingzhi apologized and said, "There are two very important points in this operation. First, the troops defending the position must defend to the death, and I will give you the strongest firepower, so the task must be completed. Only if you hold the enemy back, can I lead my troops from behind. This is the core of the central flowering tactic.
As for the second point, we must deploy the line of sight to find the position of the German army, which is the necessary information for me to intersperse in a roundabout. That's where Balzen needs to keep moving! ”
Balzen looked up violently, he knew that his best game was coming again! Before Yang Mingzhi could speak, he stood up like a spring and saluted: "I will definitely complete the commander's order!" (To be continued.) )
