While it was still daylight, Schneider received reports of attacks on his troops in the afternoon. It is very interesting to say that it was another convoy that sent the report, which set out from the town of Kuta and found a bad battlefield on the way.

Schneider was shocked to see that all five military vehicles had been destroyed, and there were still a lot of shell casings around the battlefield.

"The enemy must have been very fierce, they killed everyone, including the Soviet prisoners. All the dead, their ammunition, boots and backpacks were taken along with them. ”

Schneider immediately noticed the details in the report, and he was furious at the division headquarters.

"Is the enemy a pack of hungry wolves? How much do they lack things, even the clothes of the dead? These Slavic barbarians, what a poor madness! ”

"Perhaps, the people who attacked us were a group of stragglers of the Soviet army? After their defeat, many soldiers hid in the forest. A staff officer said.

"That's why we took a tough stance against the local villagers. Those who dared to take in Soviet soldiers and partisans, we sentenced them to be hanged or shot. Another staff officer guessed.

Based on these circumstances, the staff officers expressed their opinions, some believed that the attack was accidental, while others believed that it was the so-called so-called Soviet army's formed units. Both seem to have paths, and everything has to be decided by Schneider, which annoys the man.

"Enough! It's all quiet! ”

Everyone in the division headquarters was stunned and did not speak again. Schneider suddenly remembered that Lawrence, who had escaped the enemy's attack with a small number of people, and perhaps he could give some advice. He remembered that the enemy attack was very similar to the latest incident, and had a lot in common, such as the fact that the frenzied group of enemies were gathering all sorts of items, so that many of the dead bodies were left with only their underwear.

Lawrence was soon invited to the division headquarters, and Schneider explained the situation straight to the point, only to see that Lawrence immediately slapped his thigh, "It's not a straggler at all, it must be them." Only this group of people had the ability to attack suddenly, the rest of the Soviet partisans were a bunch of bandits, and only this Soviet army, as if they were trained to fight in the forest. ”

Schneider heard it intact, but the Lawrence battalion was almost completely wiped out, and the battle had a great impact on him, which may be an exaggeration.

Lawrence said a lot, and he emphasized: "I don't know the exact name of this enemy, but they definitely exist." Maybe they're closing in on us, or even this town. “

"Impossible!" Schneider took the case, "Are these enemies crazy?" How many troops do we have stationed here, and they came to look for death? ”

"Who knows?" Lawrence's eyes widened, "Division Commander, it must have been this gang that blew up the oil depot in Luvanka Town, and we suffered heavy losses. We must defend ourselves against such an enemy force, whose nest may be somewhere in the south. ”

Schneider didn't say much, and the celebrity took this away. But his words also gave him a wake-up call, and the staff gathered on the map, a teapot pressed against the swamp in the lower reaches of the Pripet.

"My gentlemen, the enemy may be here, they are very far from us. Are they going to travel a hundred kilometers to attack us? ”

The staff officers objected, and geographically, it took several days to get to Mozili after a long forest, and even the Germans themselves could hardly march in the forest. In Belarus, the occupation of a large number of cities by the army, while the occupation of the countryside, is clearly much backward and not the result of a bad environment. After all, in the USSR, its road system was criticized.

Even so, Schneider ordered the soldiers to fortify, for fear that Lawrence would be a prophecy. The nearby infantry regiment was immediately ordered to keep its eyes open, and the unguarded barracks immediately moved into action, and in the same way, Schneider also sent some soldiers to patrol the vicinity of the garrison.

On the other hand, the troops led by Yang Mingzhi are in hibernation. The north wind was blowing all the time, and many warriors wrapped themselves very tightly.

Brutal war, many people know that such a life is one day and every day, and no one knows who will die in the next war. When the war came to this element, it didn't matter if they were afraid of death, because death and survival were often just luck. So it's a bleak night, and everyone might as well rest and enjoy the last peaceful time.

At 0:00 in the morning, Yang Mingzhi was awakened, only to see that Yelenkina had woken up early.

"It's only 0 o'clock, I said let's do it at 3 o'clock." Yang Mingzhi yawned and prepared to curl up again.

Yerenkina frowned, "You better hurry up, how confident are you, do you have to get three points and then make a detailed plan?" She pushed hard a few times, and almost smacked a few mouths.

Yang Mingzhi was awakened, and his brain was still a little messy.

"Alright, alright, now that I've woken up, let's get ready to do it."

At this time, star fruit and Natasha were still asleep. The two are like sisters, comrades-in-arms, and they sleep together. Yang Mingzhi didn't bother them, and waited until the battle was ready to go before waking them up.

After getting dressed and eating something, Yang Mingzhi took the binoculars and went to the reconnaissance company. He set up his binoculars and looked into the distance, where the hazy outline of Kuta Town could be seen in the faint moonlight.

"Well, there are a few more searchlights, and those lights will be knocked out first when the battle begins." Speaking of which, he remembered those mortars. It's the artillerymen who do this kind of thing!

In this way, the sleepy-eyed artillery soldiers were also awakened, and as soon as they heard the latest order from the deputy division commander, they went to the reconnaissance company one by one to report.

After the red tape military salute, Yang Mingzhi ordered everyone to squat down. "Comrades, what is the maximum range of your mortars?"

Artillery captain Igor thought for a moment, "Our mortars are not of a large caliber and have a maximum range of only eight hundred meters. In the case of a 120 mm caliber, the maximum firing range can exceed two kilometers. ”

"Eight hundred meters? Enough is enough! As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi pointed to the searchlights, "Your target is that for a while, and you must immediately blind the enemy's eyes when you start a war." ”

"Yes! Our artillery is guaranteed to complete the task. ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled, "I just like the serious attitude of you people, go down and prepare now." I ask you to be the first to carry out the shelling, and we will advance in the face of artillery fire. ”

If you want to fight, you will come once, the artillery task is explained, the first round of artillery will cause some damage to the enemy, but after the artillery fire, the infantry will immediately follow, giving the enemy little time to counterattack. The fighters made a charge of Ula and mounted their bayonets en masse, just as they did in the capture of Moziri.

At two o'clock in the morning, the fighters were all awakened, and in the last hour, everyone straightened up their equipment and ate something.

The big war was approaching, and Yang Mingzhi was relieved to see that the soldiers did not show fear, or that they were all indifferent. We mechanically inspect the equipment, look at the barrel, and then check the ammunition reserves.

The battalion commanders were called to their side by Yang Mingzhi, and they all saw the simple arming of Kuta Town from a distance.

"The two battalions of the first regiment, you follow our guard company to attack, the second regiment and one battalion, you are responsible for the left flank, and the second battalion of the second regiment, you are in charge of the right flank. In this battle, we must destroy the living forces of the enemy. And as far as I know, there are prisoners of our army captured by the enemy in the town of Kuta, and if the conditions allow, we will save them. Remember that once you receive the retreating red flares, the whole army must not fight, and the whole army will retreat. ”

The battalion commanders understood what this meant, so they went down and prepared separately.

Yang Mingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "The next thing is my time." ”

He returned to his guard company, a hundred fighters who were very well armed. Submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles are extremely powerful and highly mobile. DP machine guns and captured MG34 machine guns were also equipped, even fighting in the wilderness, and firepower was guaranteed.

I don't say anything superfluous, even with my wife. Finally, Yang Mingzhi stroked his wife's pigtails: "Be careful when fighting for a while, don't get too close to Bingfeng." ”

"Yes, husband. You too, be careful. “

The two snuggled up for a few minutes, and the battle soon began.
