"So what do we do now?" Lavrenti asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What else can I do? To recapture the position, of course, otherwise how can we deal with our superiors!? ”

Now Balzen could conclude that the enemy was only a thousand men, and with his pride, the enemy would be quickly defeated.

But look at your current subordinates, which one is not physically and mentally exhausted? From early morning to almost twelve o'clock at noon, it has been a high-intensity battle for several hours. He did not doubt his own combat effectiveness and willpower, but he went to battle with the German army with a tired soldier, and the battle was probably extremely hard.

Even if it's hard, you can't be cowardly!

Regarding the situation of the position, Balzen immediately informed all the fighters.

He asked Ravlendy and Evgeny to say a few words impassionedly in his camp, and sure enough, these two lived up to expectations, and the sound of Ulla was heard in the forest, and the Slavs' temper was ignited again.

"After all, we still have to fight! I really want to take a nap right now! Natasha let out a long sigh, but star fruit really felt that her sister was pretending to be forced by this.

"Natasha, you still have to cheer up, you only have one life anyway. If you don't be vigilant when you join a fighter, you may not be able to sleep. ”

Facing her sister's serious face, the girl nodded. "Bessica, you're right, you have to be vigilant wherever you are."

……

The counteroffensive is not an officer's side to move his mouth and issue an order, and the soldiers can rush over with their spear-stabbed rifles in a swarm, which can happen in World War I, but it would be a bit stupid to do so in a new world war.

Balzen was not in a hurry to immediately counterattack, since the offensive and defensive forces were different, attacking the positions he had built, where they were weak and where they were strong, no one knew better than the Soviet army itself.

He originally didn't want the youth battalion to attack frantically, if these teenagers who boasted of being invincible in the world were all killed, he would really be shameless to the deputy division commander. But at the moment they are also some combat power, and Kharkov must immediately participate in this military meeting before the counteroffensive.

The four officers did not have much disagreement about how to counterattack, nothing more than how to fight the most cost-effective.

"Now we have nine hundred men to fight, and that's counting the lightly wounded, and even then we have fewer troops than the Germans. So we can't completely annihilate this German army in any way. Balzen's statement sounded meaningless.

Evgeny replied regretfully: "In our current situation, we can only do to drive it away." It may not be difficult to do this, but the soldiers we withdrew all thought that the enemy's combat effectiveness was not strong, and the marksmanship of the grassroots soldiers was not very good, otherwise it would be impossible to get back after being besieged by a thousand people, and there were forty of them. ”

This reminded Balzen that these fighters, even if they were wounded, were soldiers of the 284th Division, and they were not the kind of guys who easily abandoned their positions. The only explanation is to avoid retreating at unnecessary sacrifices, and the enemy cannot completely annihilate them, which only shows that the enemy is not a strong army.

Even if they are not strong, it is impossible to fight a war of annihilation, and if they are just defeated, they will still fight back.

Balzen analyzed the current intelligence a little, and he said: "It is better for us to annihilate the enemy in large numbers, and my favorite is to fight a war of annihilation." Joining the deputy division commander to command us, maybe we may be able to completely annihilate the enemy, but at the moment I am the commander, and I can't do anything. So we can only destroy as many enemies as we can. ”

Ravlianj nodded: "We all know the truth, but how to do it is the most important." So how do you think we should set it up? ”

"Of course, you and Evgeny are the main force, and my reconnaissance company has an important mission." As he spoke, Balzen crouched down and drew up his troops with branches.

As Yang Mingzhi's most loyal subordinate, Balzen boasted that he could also gain a lot of oriental wisdom from this "military expert" from a foreign country. At the moment, a counterattack with a tired army is already a huge disadvantage, even if the morale is aroused because of resentment, after all, the body will not lie, and the person will quickly become tired again, and it will be bad if the enemy has not been defeated by then.

He knew very well that the enemy had just taken up his position, that they were not on a firm foothold, and that joining the attack now was the best opportunity. If you wait a little longer, your own people will be sleepy and dozing off, and the enemy will recuperate, and there will not be many chances of success.

Because, the direction of the main attack was locked on the right part of the position. The fortifications there had not yet been repaired, and the original machine-gun fortress had only just dug small pits, so if the enemy were to garrison there, its garrison would definitely not be high.

At least Balzen thought he had a very good plan, and he ordered:

"Ravlendi, you lead your battalion to attack the southwestern side of the position from our offensive frontal.

Yevgeny, you lead your battalion back to the rear of the southwest side of the position and set up an ambush, attacking the northeast side of the position when the battle has begun. And on the way to the attack, you have to divide your men into three-man battle teams, scattered in the middle and southwest of the position to cooperate with Ravlendi.

And I will lead the reconnaissance company and the junior battalion, ambushed in the northeast direction of the position. ”

The military order is like this, what is Balzen going to do, the smart man has already heard it.

Speaking of which, this tactic is indeed quite complicated, and Ravlendi has to look at the "sand table deduction" drawn with wooden sticks on the ground and secretly admire. But there was one detail that puzzled him.

"Balzen, since you led Evgeny to attack the northeast of the position, and a small number of troops were assigned to the southwest, what is the role of these people, and there are only a handful of troops supporting us. It seems that you let these small forces spread out, and what makes sense of that? ”

Hearing him say this, Balzen couldn't help but laugh. "Since you're confused about my arrangement, I'm relieved! The Germans must have been completely confused as to why I had divided Evgeny's battalion, which was divided into two or three small units, but scattered by nearly twenty. Because they're ghost troops! ”

"Ghost troops?" Evgeny exclaimed, "Didn't I storm the Northeast?" ”

"Of course, but we still have too few troops. So I can only act as our warriors with the help of these vegetation of the forest. ”

This was a very funny statement, and Balzen also took the opportunity to sell his knowledge, using the Chinese he learned from Yang Mingzhi, and said that this tactic was called "all the grass and trees are soldiers".

In fact, he didn't understand the original meaning of this idiom, but only understood the superficial meaning, so that the uncle in the forest also became a soldier.

Balzen explained, "Trees aren't warriors, but we can keep warriors hidden in the forest. There is only one task of the 20 combat groups, that is, to cooperate when the two main battalions are attacking, and the so-called coordination is to fire guns into the sky, but in fact, it is enough to create gunshots. In this way, when the enemy blocks the frontal attack of Yevgeny, he will definitely believe that behind them is the attack of the main force of the Soviet army, do you say that the enemy will want to retreat at this time? You believe they really know how many of us there are. As he spoke, Balzen pointed to the south, "Won't the enemy believe that our main force has really arrived?" ”

"So when the enemy retreats, you suddenly come out of the ambush, because a sudden attack by the German army in panic will not only deepen their fear and flee more desperately, but also kill and injure a large number of enemies." ”

"That's right, the enemy will think that they are surrounded in the forest, and that behind the trees are our warriors, and even more so, that the trees are soldiers."

Having said that, Ravlendi and Evgeny were completely convinced, as well as Ruslan, the acting commander of the junior battalion, who was still confused.

Patting his comrade-in-arms on the shoulder, Raph couldn't help but praise: "You also said that only when the deputy division commander is here, we can completely annihilate the enemy, I think this tactic of yours is enough to beat the enemy to nothing!" Let's do it now! ”
