Homnich is a ruined city, but there is still a lot of things to use here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What the Soviet army needed most was iron, which was used to make weapons, and the officers and soldiers began a large-scale search as soon as they entered the city.

The city was silent, the surrounding area was covered with snow, and it was a battlefield before, and the soldiers involved in the search were all loaded with guns, and they were full of vigilance when they entered every house that was close to collapse, for fear that a Nazi would suddenly pop up.

In the same way, the fighters also hope for some adventure, such as encountering some civilian.

As a result, they found nothing alive, except for themselves. Instead, in the bricks and rubble, the warriors found a large number of household items. For example, there are a large number of iron fists, wooden bowls, and baskets made of tree and rattan. There was a lot of broken wooden furniture, and there was also a lot of cutlery.

Many of the household items found were metal, and it was a pity to rebuild weapons, and the soldiers dragged them into their pockets.

The mess of useful things found in the city was piled up in the small square in the city. The place had been quickly cleared by a group of soldiers, who had mainly removed the scattered bricks and rubble, and then it was the camp.

Balzen ordered two platoons of soldiers, fully armed, to inspect the position of the enemy's artillery in the distance, and went to the battlefield in the north of the city.

"The battle must have been fierce, these armored vehicles are full of bullet holes!" Balzen caressed the remnants of the war, and some parts of the armored vehicle were clearly taken, which must have been done by Roshakov. They were also ordered to take everything they could, but when they withdrew, there were still German troops facing each other in the north!

"Company commander! Shall we search this battlefield right now? A platoon commander asked.

"Nope! Comrade Rosal, you let your platoon stay in the city. Even though it looks like it's safe, I'm asking your people to be in combat readiness. Work hard tonight, your people stand guard. ”

"Yes!" Of course, the platoon commander was reluctant in his heart, and the military order was like this, so he had to relay the order again. The night was cold, and the drudgery of being a sentinel had to be done head-on.

Balzen shook his head, the battlefield was miserable. Happily, it's clear that it's mostly Germans who are lying here.

In this war, the Soviets have already captured more than four million people, which is often said by the division's political commissar Yelentina. In order to serve as a wake-up call, the soldiers of the 284th Division were asked to be ashamed of those people.

At the same time, this shocking figure also illustrates the seriousness of the Soviet army's series of crushing defeats in the face of the German army, and the battle loss ratio is amazingly high. Only here in the 284th Division the situation was reversed.

As a company commander, Balzen lived in a basement.

The place had apparently been searched, and the soldier lit a kerosene lamp and placed a fragment of a map on the table that had just been upside down.

Seeing the commander coming, several soldiers hurriedly reported: "Report to the company commander, we found this house." It seems very special here! Like what kind of command it looks like. ”

"Oh? Is that so? Balzen looked around curiously, and his instinct told him that there was something special about it. In particular, this map fragment, with the text on it is in Russian. Suddenly, a consciousness came to mind, "This may be the former Roshakov headquarters." ”

After further searching, it was revealed that there was even a place to sleep. Balzen was delighted, and immediately ordered: "In this operation, this basement is my company. Now that the sky is getting darker, comrades go and prepare their own internal affairs. ”

Balzen still decided to tidy up the housekeeping and make the bed himself. He ordered the team in charge of the radio station to immediately set up an antenna and place the radio in the headquarters to save the battery from freezing at low temperatures.

Of course, the basement was a little cold, until a soldier entered with an iron basin full of firewood, and when the campfire was lit, it gradually warmed up.

Fighters outside, including militiamen, quickly set up tents. The ruins of the city were littered with things to burn, and the broken furniture, now piled on top of each other, had become campfires.

Many of them were exhausted after a long journey, and they were already exhausted after entering the city and quickly starting to move.

Balzen would not be stupid enough to use his men as slaves, and they had worked very hard today, and immediately ordered: "Everyone, if you have no extra tasks, start resting now!" ”

The one with the extra task is the platoon who was ordered to keep watch.

A normal Soviet platoon had only ten people, because there were only five people in a squad. After the establishment of the 284th Division almost collapsed, it was magically changed by Yang Mingzhi according to the establishment of the Chinese army decades later. The strength of a platoon is as high as thirty-five people.

Sentinels spread out, setting up open and dark sentinels.

There was a squad of sentries deployed directly north of the city, and they received orders not only to stand guard, but also to wait for the return of their comrades who had gone to investigate the enemy's artillery further north.

Balzen was relieved of his people, but the sun had set, and there was still no news from the guys.

This made him worried, so he asked the others in the command: "You all tell me, I sent two platoons to investigate, they haven't come back for several hours, is there any danger?" ”

"It shouldn't be! Our comrades are all experienced in a hundred battles, and the comrades of our reconnaissance company and guard company are the most elite troops in the whole division! Maybe they've discovered something more impressive! ”

"They're like explorers who have discovered treasure?" Balzen's doubts were dispelled by the warrior's words. Yes, his own people have always been valued by the superiors. They won't come at this time, maybe they found an abandoned artillery position by the enemy, and a lot of treasures?

"Alright! Let's keep waiting! ”

So, why didn't the two platoons that went forward come back? It's been four hours since they set off! The weather was getting colder, and the other comrades were already asleep in the camp, and there was a lot of snoring in the city. And what are these people doing?

The answer, as the soldier had guessed, was that he had found something considerable.

The two platoons had long since arrived at the enemy's artillery position, which was already in ruins. The soldiers were shocked to find that several of the cannons had been shattered, which looked like a martyrdom, because the barrels had exploded like blooming moon flowers.

In the ruins, several soldiers found intact shells, which immediately made people nervous.

The two platoon commanders bravely walked forward to find out, and found that this was indeed a heavy artillery shell in an unfired state, and the two of them immediately blossomed into joy. After all, the few heavy artillery shells found were not large in their warheads, but their barrels were huge. This means that a lot of brass can be harvested, as well as a lot of high-quality explosives!

And that's not all, as the soldiers continued north, a lot of ammunition and firearms were scattered on the snow.

This is a clear proof of the hasty withdrawal of the Germans, of course, as they continued to walk north, and many guns and ammunition were found. After all, in Hoffman and Freud's two regiments, many soldiers discarded a lot of debris in order to run faster.

Behind the artillery positions was the former camp of the German army, and the remains of the camp were obvious. Quite a few broken tents were discarded, and there were some ammunition boxes! Soon, ten wooden boxes were placed in front of the two platoon commanders, and when they were opened in public, they contained a large number of 7.92 mm rifle rounds.

Something big! The two platoons decided that part of the men would be stationed here. They immediately unloaded the tent from the horse-drawn sleigh that accompanied them and quickly set it up, and ordered another squad to return to the news. (To be continued.) )
