Chapter 165: Shelling Operations
Henschel and his men were unaware of the danger, and as night wore on, the men could no longer muster themselves. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cold was so lazy that they even forgot about the area where they were operating, far from the German-controlled core, where every step forward was dangerous.
The snow had stopped, the moon had broken through the clouds, and the moonlight was shining on the white earth. Although it wasn't daytime, the visibility at night was ok.
The Germans and their servants, most of the 500 men and women, went into shacks in the snow to rest, and only a few collected some branches and sprinkled them with gasoline to light a fire to keep warm.
Therefore, the fire of the Germans simply informed their location in the dark.
The time had entered the early hours of the morning, and the Germans were sleeping soundly. Ravlendi led their men to the target little by little, and reached the right position at eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Everyone spread out and formed a triangular phalanx. The artillery company immediately set up positions, and everyone waited for orders! ”
As soon as the order was given, the warriors immediately went into action. The sound of the wind muffled the movements of the warriors, and some of them were wrapped in white linen cloaks to disguise themselves.
Ravrenj held up his binoculars, because of the moonlight, it was fine to dim the light, and he could still see the enemy camp in the distance.
"This group of people is so paralyzed. The deputy division commander really attaches great importance to them, and if he himself sees the enemy like this, it is estimated that a charge can solve them! ”
"Or the battalion commander, why don't we just attack directly?"
"No! We must obey orders. Ravliandi put away his binoculars and said to the eager tactics.
In his heart, he wished he could do it alone. It's just that it would be a violation of military discipline, and the result will be shot, and it must not be.
He called the three company commanders under him to his side and assigned tasks for a while.
"It's half past mid in the morning, and the battle will start at three in the morning. We've all been on the table, when the artillery starts the shelling first, all of you fire. In the first company, you are in charge of the left flank, in the second company, you are in charge of the right flank, and in the third company, you are in charge of the center. I led the battalion headquarters to guard the artillery company. ”
The three company commanders all understood, and immediately began to set about the task.
Lavrenty was well aware of the situation in the area of Д023, which was where the enemy retreated. He explained the details of the task clearly, and the three companies made their specific tasks clear. That is, the soldier fires along with the artillery, striking the enemy only with long-range attacks. Just throw the enemy into a mess and they will likely return the way they came from (after all, this is the way the enemy knows best) and catch them off guard.
The accompanying radio officer immediately sent a report to Yang Mingzhi, and at this moment he was wearing cotton clothes and curled up in a woolen blanket to sleep.
The same is true of the Soviet soldiers, the blankets dropped by air are unusually warm, and the environment outside is minus 18 degrees, and the blanket is like spring.
The radio operator gently woke Yang Mingzhi up. "Deputy Division Commander! Deputy division commander! The first battalion had already taken up positions and was ready for battle. ”
"Oh. What time is it? ”
"It's almost one o'clock in the morning."
Yang Mingzhi immediately sobered up, rubbed his eyes and sat up. He had been sleeping for a few hours, as did most of the soldiers, and in this way the field would be in good spirits.
He grabbed a few soldiers: "Go, inform everyone!" All came to their senses, quickly ate dry food and water, checked the weapons and ammunition again, and waited for the battle to break out. ”
The soldier in charge of the herald immediately began to run in the snow, and soon the soldiers woke up somewhat lazily. Some people are yawning, some are drinking water. As soon as a cold north wind passed, everyone was cold, and they immediately became energetic and quickly put their internal affairs in order.
Yang Mingzhi gently woke up the two girls. Star fruit and Natasha, they are like sisters, and they are a good sniper combination when fighting.
"Hurry up now, don't covet warmth. There will be a war in a moment, and we will rush to the past, and there will even be white-knuckle battles. ”
As soon as they heard the word white-knuckle battle, the two of them immediately became nervous, and the cold, tiredness was swept away.
The fighters are getting ready for battle, and time is ticking by, and the battle is about to break out.
On the other side, Ravlianj looked anxiously at his watch, the second hand blinked, the time was getting closer and closer, and people were getting more and more nervous. He saw that the artillerymen were checking the fuses of the mortar shells, and all the warheads were actually painted yellow and neatly stacked one by one.
"In this battle, are all the picric cannonballs we are preparing for?" Ravrenj asked the company commander, Doronin.
"That's right, this cannonball is more powerful, and even has some tear-jerking effects."
"So these are all arranged by the deputy division commander?"
"That's right, that's why it's tactically arranged. If we go down this time, the enemy will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and then we will go together to harvest the fruits. Doronin smiled, "In this battle, the deputy division commander hopes that we have no losses. ”
If it's picric acid, it's a more powerful explosive than ***. Ravlenty could predict the tragedy of the enemy after the artillery fire was covered, and if the enemy was all killed by artillery fire, what would our army lose? And the time has finally come.
"Get ready!" In the midst of the wind, Doronin gave all the mortar orders.
"One is complete"
"Second Finished"
……
Seeing that all the elements were ready, Doronin looked at the time, and the second hand was about to reach three o'clock in the morning.
Lavrenti had already given the initiation of the battle to Doronin, and his shells were the signal for the battle.
"Attention guns, one salvo of shells!"
The shooters picked up a shell one after another, and the tail fin was attached to the muzzle of the gun waiting for the company commander's order.
“oгohь!”
With a wave of his hand, ten mortars fired a salvo. There was a crisp sound, and the shells smashed into the enemy camp with a sharp sound.
The German Henschel was awakened by the noise, and before he could figure out what was going on, the explosion had already occurred.
Because the enemy is gathered together to camp in order to keep warm. And in the wilderness on this snowy night, there is an inexplicable fear, and people subconsciously want to get together. It's a pity that the danger really came, it was not a beast, but a swarm of shells.
These small-caliber mortars were filled with picric acid and exploded at a perverted speed, and the waves of air set off knocked over many sleeping people. Some of the unlucky ones were hit directly and torn apart by this wave of air, and some were lucky enough to have their limbs torn apart. Others were hit by fragments, fell to the ground in pain and vomited blood, completely incapacitated.
"Get ready for the second shot!"
“oгohь!”
The second blow came, accompanied by a dense burst of gunfire not far away.
Ravlenty's battalion was armed with some MG34 general-purpose machine guns, which were the weapons of the Germans, so they also received some drag bullets. Turquoise projectiles pierced the night, and in the dim light, the machine guns fired lasers. The rate of fire of the general-purpose machine gun was exaggerated, and the bullets were densely projectile into the enemy's camp.
Many of the relieved guys were surprised to find that they were in a very disadvantageous position, and there were inexplicable guys attacking in the dark. Especially the German soldiers led by Henschel, those green lights are too incomprehensible.
Henschel didn't know what to do. "Do the friendly forces think of me as a Soviet partisan?! Order the soldiers, give me a counterattack at once! ”
However, he wanted to fight back, and his men had already suffered heavy casualties. These recruited Soviet renegades were not good in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight, because they had no faith at all, and they were just trying to survive or eat a bite to eat, not for any noble goal at all.
Doronin's artillery battery fired forty shells, which, together with the fire of Lavrenty's men, caused huge losses to the enemy. Because of the chaos, the enemy did not make a similar counterattack, they were putting guns everywhere, could it be that they were going to hit natural planes?
The planned shells had already been fired, and Ravrenty immediately ordered the fighters to stop and ordered the telegrapher: "Now send a telegram to the deputy division commander, the task is completed, and the troops are transferred to the Д023 district." ”
A green signal flare flew into the air, and the large army led by Yang Mingzhi became completely vigilant after hearing the sound of artillery fire.
Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered all the fighters to gather. "Now! All of you check your guns one last time, all of you get guns on board, get your sappers ready for those who don't, and we're going on the offensive now! For the sake of victory, move forward! (To be continued.) )
