The battle was over, and not a single result was gained, and after Natasha entered the city, she was very conflicted when she saw this devastated battlefield. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Not a single enemy was destroyed, not a single dog tag was caught, not even a single bullet was fired! It's terrible. Natasha felt that she was participating in this action, which was simply a process, or soy sauce.

Where are the duties as a sniper? Because of the light problem, she has no place to use it in the night battle, which is understandable. The main thing is that the comrades-in-arms have wiped out all the enemies, and the results have been shared by others.

Balzen saw the artillerymen, first saluted, and then gave Doronin a very high approval.

"Thank you so much. When I led a large force to rush closer, I found a lot of sleeping enemies, who were simply killed on the spot by your shells. And the atmosphere of horror created undoubtedly played a big role. ”

Doronin nodded. "This is the role of our artillery, and this shows the value of our artillery preparation. But ......"

Doronin pulled Natasha to his side and put his arm around her shoulder. "It's this battle, and our sniper heroes didn't get anything.

Balzen looked at the girl's face, pouting, frowning, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What? Natasha, aren't you reconciled? Just say it from the heart. ”

"Yes!" was asked like this, and the girl didn't hide it. "I promised the deputy division commander that this battle must give him a result, I originally planned to destroy a lot of enemies and take away their dog cards."

"I see, if you talk about dog tags, I have a lot of them here. It's all warriors who take it from the enemy's neck, or do you take it? ”

This was Balzen's casual remark, and he didn't know that it really hurt people's feelings.

Natasha's mouth pursed higher, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Sir, what you said is very wrong. I am an honest person, only the enemy I personally destroyed, and I will report the results of the battle to the deputy division commander. ”

Balzen was stunned, this girl was very stubborn and honest. The gentleman does not eat the food that comes to him, and Balzen felt something similar. "Well, Natasha, I apologize to you. But you are still safe and sound in this battle, and you can be regarded as lucky. You know, in this battle, nearly 200 of our soldiers were killed, and more than 100 were injured to varying degrees. ”

In total, there were more than 300 casualties, that is, a quarter of all those involved in the operation. Natasha could feel the severity of the battle after a little scrutiny. Even in the night raids, the army still paid a great price in the face of a tired enemy, and this group of enemies was not weak.

"Alright, Natasha, I'll give you a gift."

Without hesitation, Balzen handed her the freshly captured Luger pistol.

"There are two magazines for bullets, so use this pistol as your self-defense weapon."

But Natasha shook her head. "No, the captured loot should be handed over, and then the division headquarters will decide how to distribute it. Besides, I already had one of these pistols, but I kept it in the warehouse and I didn't need it at all. ”

In the conversations of the soldiers of the army, especially the reconnaissance company and the guard company, the deputy division commander paid special attention to this girl. Many soldiers simply ridiculed that the deputy division commander had almost become the adoptive father of this orphan girl. So this girl places a special emphasis on discipline, and it is no surprise.

"Okay, I'll keep this pistol first. Natasha, you're also taking a break, wait a minute, we'll all get out of the city. ”

Hearing this, Doronin looked unhappy.

"You arranged it like this earlier, why did I order my men to bring in the artillery? Our artillery positions were waiting outside, and we followed the carts when the army retreated. These sleds also have heavy gear, and it's not like you can move with a single push! ”

Balzen felt that there was negligence in his order, and it was indeed a bit of a superfluous move to let the artillery into the city.

"Forget it, there's no way around it. You're still in town. Well, there's still plenty of room for your sleds, so put some loot now. Let's get started right away. ”

He was the commander of the operation, and it was the first time that he commanded thousands of troops. Of course, the experience is insufficient, Doronin has no nonsense, after all, he is an old comrade-in-arms who has been fighting to the death together for half a year. "Okay! I obey, and I think you'll need to contact the people we're dormant in the woods. The horse-drawn sleigh should be dispatched. ”

"I just ordered them to go out! Before dawn, we have to pull away what is still usable! ”

Doronin immediately ordered his men to act, and even other warriors, such as the Anatoly men. It was an extra gun for each of the soldiers, and the battle was over, and they followed Doronin towards the woods.

After that, Balzen was finally able to calm down and ordered the radioman: "Get in touch with the division headquarters immediately, I will report the situation to them!" ”

It's three o'clock in the morning, which is the time when people are most asleep. Yang Mingzhi was no exception, he stayed in the blacksmith village and ordered the narrow Russian-style bed to be moved into the new division headquarters. Seeing that he had done so, Yevlov and Yerentina quickly followed suit. The three of them did this completely waiting for the latest results.

Seeing that her husband had already decided to keep vigil, and star fruit did not return to her residence, she decided to be with her husband because she didn't like to be alone. At the division headquarters, this girl did a little favor, such as boiling some hot milk and preparing some supper.

Although the beds and blankets were moved into the division headquarters, who had such a big heart to sleep peacefully?

At midnight, the three of them sat completely and in good spirits. Yang Mingzhi is even more like sitting on the clay kang, sitting cross-legged. Look at the table, it's time.

"The battle theoretically begins now, and we have a thousand men to fight a battalion of the enemy, and we can theoretically be a great success in this night attack."

"Of course." "But there will be a price." Especially Anatoly's improvised battalion, how well this unit performs, I am not optimistic. ”

At this point, Yang Mingzhi does not deny that Anatoly is completely chasing ducks to the shelves. His men had not yet fully recovered their spirits, and their physical strength was difficult to cope with the combat habits of the 284th Division, and even worse, they had not yet learned the new infantry offensive tactics. If you still stupidly advance in a skirmisher line, run for a short time, and defeat the enemy's machine-gun fire, the price will still be very high.

The three of them chatted until three o'clock in the morning, and everyone still didn't feel sleepy.

Just then, a radio officer announced that important information had finally been received. As if they had been pricked in the buttocks, the three of them jumped out of bed in an instant and quickly ran to the radio room.

"How's it going! Victory? Yevlov asked anxiously.

I saw another radio player, holding a headset in his left hand and recording numbers in his notebook with his right hand. The code was sent back from the direction of Homnitsch, and the specific information needed to be translated against the codebook.

"Wait a moment, sir, Alyosha and I still need to decipher it."

After a short wait, time seems to pass very slowly. Finally, they handed over a piece of paper, and this was the success of the decipherment, and now everyone knew what had happened to Homnich.

"Alexander's men were almost completely wiped out, only this guy and eleven people, because they hid in a deep basement, they avoided being killed by the German Stuka dive bombers! Even so, they were lucky enough to dig through the bricks and rubble of the ruins with one hand, and drill out like moles. Yerentina sighed, her heart was full of affection for this Alexander, and when he returned, she must pay attention to this lucky man for herself.

"It's terrible, they were hit by an air raid! Things get complicated. Yevlov looked up at the other two. Comrades, apparently, the enemy arranged front-line airfields in this area. It is likely that our future battles will also be met with air strikes. ”

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Yang Mingzhi's mind spun quickly, "It is very reasonable for the enemy to increase the air force in order to defend that road. Our army is very combat-ready and has frequent actions. I think that all this change is the result of the previous incident when I led my troops into the city of Lechicha, beheaded the enemy's garrison headquarters, and killed the head of the Nazi Party. ”

"Alright, alright, now is not the time for us to look back on the great achievements of the past. It's what do we do after that? Yevlov asked anxiously.

"What else can I do? I reckon that this German battalion advance Khomnich was a tentative offensive. You see, this report also states that the enemy belonged to the 722nd Division, and Balzen found conclusive documents from the bodies of its officers. I conclude that this is a test by the enemy, and the purpose is probably very similar to what the 715th Division did last month. This time they increased their air force and blew up Homnich, and if we foolishly fought the enemy, the enemy air force would slaughter us light infantry. ”

These words, others suddenly enlightened. According to Yang Mingzhi's deduction, Balzen led his troops to recapture Homnich and completely annihilate the German army. After that, there will definitely be another air raid in retaliation, perhaps at the beginning of the sun.

"So we're going to order them to retreat now, right?" Yevlov continued to ask.

"Not bad! We can't be fooled, Homnich is in ruins, and there are a lot of huge craters in the city. I don't know how much more strategic value the city has, but I think it's just an iron ore mine for us at the moment. To avoid greater casualties, they had to retreat. The whole army withdrew to the woods to rest and recuperate, and then returned to the barracks. Saying that, Yang Mingzhi sighed, "Comrades, we must now be prepared to guard against air raids." ”

Yevlov nodded: "Okay, we will order them now, withdraw from the city before dawn." (To be continued.) )
