Chapter 350: An Abrupt Flare from the Germans

As long as the equipment belt has enough physical strength to keep up, even in a bad environment, it can run long distances. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Mingzhi believes that Natasha can handle this kind of expedition, but his wife, then it can't. Because of the different division of labor, it is almost impossible for the sisters to fight side by side anymore. One went on an expedition with a gun, and the other was still taking care of the transfer of the sick and wounded.

Natasha, on the other hand, started her trek again on a new day. All fighters were leggings with strips of cloth, which made it easy to walk for long periods of time without sore legs.

Balzen did not dare to joke with the body of the warriors, he needed the soldiers to have enough physical strength to immediately enter the battle in case of an emergency. So he made an estimate and commanded: "Today we will march thirty kilometers to the ruins of Homnich." ”

In the snow, maintaining a speed of four kilometers per hour is already very good, not to mention that everyone has a lot of provisions. A thirty-kilometer walk was not difficult for these fighters, even Natasha was able to accomplish it.

In terms of plan, the troops would have to march to the road for two days at the earliest, and when they set out from Heitu Village on the evening of the third day, the troops could reach the road, which must be an area of frequent enemy activity, and all soldiers must be able to quickly enter the battle!

Another day passed, and the troops passed through the terrible ruins of Homnich, and the battle of a dozen days ago seemed vivid. Many people died here in that battle, and this time was the opportunity for the troops to take revenge.

In the ruined land, the careful Balzen also found a lot of scattered iron filings. "These steel bars that should have been transported back to the arsenal are completely finished!" Faced with the devastated land, Balzen only hoped that his troops would be able to reach the road as soon as possible.

So he ordered the advance to be accelerated, and on this day, the troops were still marching when the moon rose. When they stopped, Balzen was shocked to find that the whole army had already marched forty kilometers!

This was much more than planned, and Balzen saw that his fighters were in good spirits.

He gathered everyone around and ordered: "Today, we have exceeded our plans, and this is gratifying. Tomorrow we will continue to maintain this spirit and strive to reach our goal early the day after tomorrow. All of us are resting now! ”

The army was disbanded, and Natasha was really relieved. After all, she is a girl, and her physical fitness is difficult to compare with her strong comrades. Tired, she just wanted to rest early, and several kind soldiers immediately rushed over to help.

The person who set up the tent for her was familiar.

"Uncle Sasha, you are also very tired, and you have to help me build a shed to sleep in, thank you so much." Natasha said with relief, and she also helped.

Veteran Sasha, his face weather-beaten and as deep as a girl's father. He is indeed a figure at the level of Natasha's father, and he naturally takes care of this lovely girl.

The camp at night was quiet, and the weary people rested immediately after eating dry food. Natasha is no exception, hiding in this comfort zone is like forgetting everything, even if a fight can happen at any moment.

During the break, Balzen again sent a telegram in the direction of the division headquarters, which was also his last telegram, because no matter how far the distance was, the power of the radio had to be increased. This terrible battery is facing low temperature erosion, and there is really little electricity.

Balzen's regretful report: "Unfortunately, this is the last time we send a report. After that, please wait for the news of our victory. ”

This is a very helpless thing, Yang Mingzhi was ruthless, and he didn't say anything concerned. Everyone in the division headquarters only said one thing to them: everything went according to plan.

Now, Yang Mingzhi has no time to care about Natasha and this elite expeditionary force. They are all Ji people, and on the side of the collective farm, the evacuation of the residents has indeed met resistance. Yerenkina naturally did not hesitate to play hard, and there were some public grievances. Yang Mingzhi immediately became a white-faced person to appease everyone's emotions.

But Yang Mingzhi would never have imagined that there would be an accident before Balzen could find the exact location of the German airfield.

After two days of marching, everyone's body still caused a lot of consumption. Even if the mental strength is strong, physical decay is inevitable. On the afternoon of the third day, as the troops approached the road, Balzen ordered the troops to be stationed in the forest early.

He said to everyone: "Comrades, we would have crossed the highway if we held on a little longer, and the goal was close at hand. However, your body is very depleted, and when we engage the German airfield defenders, everyone is out of breath, and we will be extremely dangerous. The sun has not yet set, and I command you to rest at once, and we will not act until the sun rises tomorrow! ”

This was not what everyone wanted, physical exhaustion was true, but the fighters preferred to finish the task earlier, after all, German bombers would take off at any moment. Only by destroying them earlier can the evacuation of the base areas be ended and normal order can be restored.

An order is an order, and the warriors sat down one after another to eat dry food.

Natasha was no exception, squatting with her rifle and eating canned meat. Because it is only ten kilometers from the road, the area is already dangerous, and the lighting of bonfires is completely forbidden!

Balzen ordered the troops to spread out in a circle in the forest, with several sentinels on the perimeter.

Just as everyone was eating, two soldiers hunched their backs and rushed to Balzen and said: "Four hundred meters ahead, on the outskirts of the forest, find the Germans!" Their patrol is heading to our position! ”

Balzen was startled, and immediately threw down the can and stood up suddenly. "Everyone! Get ready for battle! ”

Everyone had long been ready for battle, and Natasha immediately picked up her rifle and loaded it, the muzzle of which was pointed in a suspicious direction.

In this pine forest, where snow still covered the branches, one hundred and thirty-five Soviet soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Balzen was very annoyed, there were ten people in this German patrol, why did they go to their positions? Could it be exposed?

There was no longer so much to manage, so he ordered the troops to lie dormant and take the enemy by surprise!

Therefore, the fighters relied on their uncles to form their temporary defensive lines, just waiting for the Germans to send them to the door.

On the other hand, this group of German patrols was the eyeliner of the 715th Division, and some of them were responsible for patrolling within ten kilometers of the northern part of the road. To deal with the guerrillas, they had to go into the forest to search. In response to a possible forest engagement, half of these patrol soldiers were armed with submachine guns, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

The ten men walked aimlessly until they found a large number of deliberate footprints!

The patrol infantry squad also carried a flare firing gun, and the squad leader pressed the soldiers as they prepared to shoot into the sky. He asked everyone to show the skirmishers, keep their eyes open, and get a glimpse of the forest into which the footprints stretched.

Ten minutes later, Natasha was lying next to Balzen, and she suddenly saw a strange situation in her sniper scope. Could that be the enemy? She adjusted the focus of the sniper scope and saw the iconic helmet of the German army.

"Company commander! Those things enemies! At least two hundred meters away, what to do?! ”

"You have to hold back, everything is based on my gunfire!" As he spoke, Balzen loaded his Bobosa. He needs to deal with the enemy cleanly, so he orders his subordinates to strictly follow his plan.

So the ten Germans, with great vigilance, crept forward, for they had determined that the partisans were most likely present in the woods.

The soldier with the flare launcher, his biggest task was to fire immediately into the air when he encountered a firefight. In this way, the sound of the firefighting will immediately alert the nearby search team, and the green flares will be enough to indicate the location of the firefight.

All this was researched by Scholz and Swagge of the 715th Division, who believed that such a means was enough to achieve tactical early warning. After too many humiliating defeats, Scholz has decided to fight mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns, and tanks and armor can be dispatched to defend the lines of communication at any time!

The German patrol was still advancing, and Natasha's crosshair was looking for a gap in the trunk of the tree, and she had already aimed at an enemy, even seeing the man's frowning brow and tight lips.

Suddenly, Balzen fired a shot into the sky, and it took Natasha less than fifty milliseconds to respond, a mist of blood quickly appeared in her scope, and the enemy was shot in the head and fell to the ground.

Shooting broke out suddenly, and the accurate shooters in the troops, who did not waste bullets, completed the shot in an instant.

Too little time was given to the Germans, and their audacity led directly to their immediate annihilation. If they had fired flares into the air earlier, they would not have all been wiped out.

However, it is not too late.

The soldier was hit by a bullet, and with the last of his strength, he fired a flare into the air.

"Damn it!" Balzen was startled by the green flash that flew into the sky, and in a matter of seconds, he recovered again.

The enemy had all fallen to the ground, and the gunfire had subsided. Balzen stood up abruptly and ordered: "The whole army moves at once, we run in the direction of the road!" ”

Following orders, the warriors did not have the time to clean up the battlefield, and even Natasha did not have time to pick up the enemy's dog tags. Only the mission is absolute, and the signal flare in the sky, its sudden appearance obviously shows that the enemy has been prepared for a long time. Balzen knew that once he became entangled with the enemy, the mission would be over. What's the use of killing more enemies? Only completing the task is the only one.

Therefore, the whole army of 135 people took action, abandoned some supplies, and ran all the way north with a sled. (To be continued.) )
