Chapter 650: They Must Be Annihilated!
Speer said nervously: "It seems that I have to protect myself, these Soviets are a special case, since their marksmanship is so good, I have to wear a helmet." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Of course! The Soviets were still in their positions. We discovered their arsenal and learned more about them! ”
"What's going on?!" Speer nervously asked, "Why didn't you report it if you know?" ”
"There was no time at all, we fought a battle with the Soviet defenders, and just settled down and engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the enemy!" Speaking of this, Cliburn slapped his thigh: "Let's just report to our superiors now!" ”
"Good! The telegraph operator is here! Speer waved his hand, and soon the radio station was placed in front of several people, the band was adjusted, and the telegraph operator was ready to send the message.
Swallowing his saliva, Cliburn said: "Please send a report, the huge fleet of the Soviets is that they are carrying out a huge airborne operation, at least one aviation brigade has parachuted, and there are hundreds of tons of supplies. They seized these supplies precisely in preparation for a new battle. ”
This is a big piece of news, and Speer never expected him to say this. "It's a shame that the enemy is landing on a large scale and we don't even notice it! And you, the information you got from the Soviet prisoners of war should be reported immediately, you missed the opportunity. ”
Clayburn was speechless, and his colleague was right, he was indeed complacent because he had taken the position of the Soviet army, and he rested for a while and did not immediately send information. But it is not too late to report now, the division headquarters can still get the reasons for the actions of the Soviet Air Force today, and the group army command can also figure out all this today.
The intelligence had been transmitted directly to the division headquarters with radio waves, to the ears of the division commander Herzman.
Suddenly, the division commanders and staff officers who had been quietly looking at the map all exploded.
"It's incredible! The Soviets actually began to increase their troops, right under our noses, and our fighters along their flight did not stop them at all! Herzman was furious, and the pen in his hand was broken alive.
"Now is not the time to be angry!" Chief of Staff Rostad tried to remain calm and said, "Among the many possibilities we discussed before, there is the 284th Division of the Soviet Air Force to support them. It is not surprising that the Soviets airdropped supplies to the partisans, and in many places they did just that, causing a headache for our friendly neighbors. ”
Herzman let out a long sigh: "My chief of staff, our losses today are great!" They are already actively attacking our positions! The fortifications that our army had painstakingly built were easily breached! Now the Soviets have been supplied with a brigade, which is at least five thousand people, and a lot of weapons and equipment, how can we deal with them! ”
"According to the establishment of the Soviet army, the strength of one of their paratrooper brigades is only equivalent to an infantry regiment. ”
"So what, it's still two thousand!" An enraged Herzman pressed his fingers hard against the dead Lothaheim's defense. "Our troops stationed here were massively defeated, the barracks were burned, and many workers and their families were brutally killed! This group of Soviets is not people! They are the devil! Now that they have more than 2,000 more devils, how do we deal with them? It's not about facing it head-on! ”
Rostad nodded: "That's right, the paratroopers must be the elite troops of a country, and their combat effectiveness must be very strong." Moreover, this group of people was trained to specialize in blowing up railways and bridges to seize bridgeheads, not to mention the combat effectiveness of field warfare, they are very good at long-distance infiltration, and with the guidance of this group of guys, the guerrillas of all stripes in the southern part of Belarus have not become explosives experts one by one? At that point, our lines of communication will be really dangerous. ”
"It's very dangerous now, otherwise we wouldn't be stationed here! Now the situation is very urgent, and I must report this information to the army group. ”
"That's right! Do it now. So what about the troops that we have entered the forest? What do they do? Do you move on or pull back? ”
Herzman looked at Rostad's expectant expression and said, "You've decided what to do yourself, what's the point of asking me knowingly now?" We have suffered such a big loss, how can it be possible not to annihilate the Soviets? Intelligence said that there were only more than 1,000 enemies encountered, and they had at least hundreds of dead! ”
"So we have to complete an annihilation and count the power of our 707th Division. Although it is understandable that we have suffered more casualties this time, if we annihilate the Guards of the Soviet Army, we will be worthy of the sacrificed soldiers. ”
Therefore, Rostad decided that the troops still need to continue to attack, from a military point of view, this group of Soviets has been fighting for too long, although the combat effectiveness is very strong, but after all, they are human, and people will be tired, as long as they still hold their positions and want to die, they are a group of turtles in an urn!
The final order from the division headquarters reached the front, and the order given to the four battalions was very simple: the Soviet army must be completely annihilated.
Speer couldn't help but touch his mustache, took off his proud officer hat, and put on an M36 steel helmet, only the epaulette collar of his status as an officer still wore it.
Seeing him doing this, Drach couldn't help but shake his head: "You are really afraid of the snipers of the Soviets!" Why don't I believe they are so capable? It must have been my fighters exaggerating. ”
"It's better to believe it than to believe it, not to mention that this is what my colleague said, I know Clayburn very well, he doesn't lie."
"But if you look at him, look at his men, can this group of people continue to fight?"
These two men are already reorganizing their troops and preparing to continue fighting, including the two Eastern Battalions, and they must also continue to move north to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Soviet army.
The young fighters were in high spirits, and as second-line troops, they were very unhappy that they could not fight on the Eastern Front. These fighters will never admit that it is their comprehensive quality that prevents them from becoming front-line soldiers, but their actual performance also proves that they are simply unable to adapt to the most brutal front-line battles. This encounter with a part of the 284th Guards Division was an important opportunity for these young and warlike fighters to perform.
Because, the decadent appearance of Cliburn's department because of its failure was selectively ignored. Although Speer was worried that history would repeat itself, seeing his men ready to fight one by one, so passionately, could the equally exhausted Soviets win again?
Speer replied: "Cleburn, he should return to his position and rest immediately." We are now under great pressure, and the logistical troops are all placed in positions to prevent a possible attack by the enemy. There are probably other Soviet troops in ambush in this forest, so we must fight this battle quickly, and retreat as soon as we have eliminated the group of enemies in front of us. After all, that's what the command says! Now let's forget about Cliburn, and we're going to have more than 2,000 of us moving at once. ”
At this point, Drach shook his finger: "They should retreat, but they must leave something behind." ”
"What is it?"
"Weapons and ammunition, of course, and rations that you carry with you. The devil knows what will happen to us in this battle, and if the enemy can't hold out, we can't charge for our lives, and the more bullets the better. ”
Speer didn't actually feel that he had less ammunition, but when his colleagues said this, anyway, when the time comes, the soldiers always complain that the ammunition is used up too quickly and the food is not enough, so they can persuade their comrades to leave the supplies.
But Cliburn is not such a good talker, and the so-called weapon is the life of a soldier. His men only kept the extra bullets and dry food, hundreds of guns could not be taken away, and each soldier had to carry a dozen bullets to defend himself.
In the temporary supply wave, this mixed German army was better equipped. Just before he acted, Cliburn gave a few more instructions, but they were simply the same. Of course, there are dangers, but isn't war just a matter of life? The advice to let them be careful of snipers was actually put on again, and Speer and Drach, leading the troops, in a huge skirmish, advanced towards the forest positions of the Soviet troops.
