Chapter 563: Balzen Emergency
As agreed, Lothaheim reported to the division headquarters the cause of the afternoon shooting, and the division commander Herzman was deeply skeptical of the report. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Is there anything else he can do? He could only order the troops who were continuing to strengthen the defensive line in various positions overnight, and all of them entered a state of imminent battle, believing in their hearts that the Soviets could attack at any time.
It is ironic to say that throughout the war, it was clear that the German army maintained the overall offensive posture, and some setbacks could not reverse it. But in the swamps, the army had to go into defense in order to defend the lines of communication.
Herzman was well aware of his responsibility, and the confusion was exacerbated by the fact that Lotahim reported a prisoner of war escape, in which soldiers were killed and the shooting of Oolong added to the chaos. The German army should be in order, how can they see the crowd and fight as the enemy? Besides, the fact that someone died before they even engaged their old opponents is really not a good sign.
He held a military meeting at the division headquarters overnight, and similarly, the Lothaheim regiment, which was located at the front, immediately carried out the new orders of the division headquarters.
The clever Haldeman went to his dorm room, where he couldn't sleep because of the heap of information. The other officers had fallen asleep, still meditating. It was not enough for one person to use his brains, he did not want to startle the snake, and the overnight interrogation of prisoners of war was simply a formality.
Because he was not worried that the traitors mixed in with the prisoners of war would tell everything, and whether there were partisans involved in the whole incident would be known tomorrow.
If you think about it again, your already topless head will really be a dime! Haldeman thought no more and fell into a deep sleep.
……
On the other hand, Balzen also reported the reconnaissance report to the headquarters of the 284th Division overnight, which was simply a bombshell compared to the previous report.
That afternoon, Yang Mingzhi participated in a meeting on the airdrop operation, and how the military and civilians should respond to the upcoming friendly airdrop was determined at the meeting, including how the army would retaliate if the enemy armed interfered with the airdrop operation.
Life is always too fulfilling, Yang Mingzhi only feels that he is more tired than before, and he has been consumed by all kinds of trivial things after a busy whole day of saluting, even if he hugs his wife, he can't arouse his interest at all.
He just wanted to rest quietly and prevent brain cells from resembling, but as soon as he lay down, the herald rushed to the door.
An emergency meeting at the division headquarters? Yang Mingzhi really wanted to push all this away, and he was indeed perfunctory heralds, and he came up with a wave of procrastination tricks in order to lie down on the bed for a while longer.
But the herald said directly: "Sir! This is important information for the reconnaissance company! There was a firefight at the front, and now the situation is complicated! ”
"Hell! Balzen, you actually found trouble for Lao Tzu! Yang Mingzhi sat up violently and jumped out of bed like a needle in his buttocks, making star fruit break out in a cold sweat.
The girl watched her husband quickly wrap up his clothes, scolded and rushed out of the door and went straight to the division headquarters.
Yang Mingzhi was indeed angry, he ostensibly hoped that Balzen could exchange fire with the enemy, but it was better not to happen. The herald did not explain the incident clearly, Yang Mingzhi took it for granted that the stunned young man thoroughly implemented the national character of Lao Maozi who did not accept it, and as a long-term person, he took it for granted that this firefight incident would be unfavorable to the swamp army.
He was also guessing that the people in the division were probably also deep in thought. As a result, as speculated, Yevlov, Yelentina and Lyudbalev, several important personnel were already tired, and they had to continue to sit at the division headquarters for meetings.
Yang Mingzhi pushed the door in and asked straight to the point: "What good did Balzen do?" Does he think there are enough RPGs and want to play a lancet strike against the enemy's fire point? ”
"What an inexplicable statement!" Yelenkina said flatly, but when she saw Yang Mingzhi's current image, she was immediately angry. "Berekov, you don't tell me that you will come to the division headquarters in your underwear and overcoat! Where's your military uniform? What about your medals? You're violating the rules of etiquette for military personnel. ”
"Are you still in the mood to say that?" Yang Mingzhi didn't talk nonsense, moved a stool and sat down, and hurriedly asked: "We just studied how to deal with the airdrop from our superiors in the afternoon, and now Balzen actually stabbed us with Lou Zi!" At this time, it is really undeserved to provoke like the Germans! They should exercise restraint! ”
"Hey! Berekov thinks too much, it's better to take a good look at this telegram document. Yevlov pushed the paper over, and Yang Mingzhi grabbed it.
Regarding what happened on the front line, Yang Mingzhi looked at these words calmly, and finally understood everything. The plan for the escape of prisoners of war, the composition of the Vostok battalion, the heavy armament of the German army, the composition of the German army......
Compared to the previous scouting report, a new one has been added here. What Yang Mingzhi wanted to know most was the strength and weapon configuration of the German army, and the reconnaissance company did not thoroughly understand these after all, so it is no wonder that only part of it can be understood by reconnaissance on the periphery.
The telegram document explained the reason and course of the firefight, as well as Balzen's concerns, and the situation was really complicated.
Yang Mingzhi's state of mind had calmed down, his anxious face became cold, and he even began to frown.
"Berekov, now that you've read all the documents, tell me what you think!" Yevlov asked sharply.
"Thoughts? Or you talk about your thoughts, I have to be quiet for a while. ”
This is not like the performance of the chief of staff, Yevlov was very surprised by Yang Mingzhi anyway, maybe this sudden incident is very complicated. "The Germans are forcing prisoners of war to dig positions for them, and there are also some so-called Vostok battalions made up of foreigners and traitors, who are also our enemies, and the German 707th Division, regardless of its combat effectiveness, is really very strong," he said. That's what we can say.
Secondly, there were Soviet prisoners of war there, and they intended to flee. The three of us had discussed before that if 500 prisoners of war joined us, our combat effectiveness would increase again. What the army lacks most now is soldiers! So we want to support the POWs. ”
"That's your decision?" Yang Mingzhi raised his head and asked.
"That's right! That's it! Yerentina, as the political commissar, immediately scolded the so-called Eastern Battalion and expressed sympathy for the plight of the prisoners of war.
"Oh my God, Yerentina, you have compassion for the prisoners of war! I really didn't expect it. Yang Mingzhi was very surprised.
"After all, they plan to escape, and the destination is none other than us! They are eager to join us! ”
"So we should really help them get out." Lyudbalev is now expressing this attitude in his capacity as the Gomel city party committee.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the three of them, "Since you have all decided, I will also agree." To be honest, I really hope that all the POWs will come back safely, but it will not necessarily work out. Of course, how do you know you won't succeed without giving it a try? Tomorrow two battalions will come to the aid of Balzen, which has not yet been informed to him. Now we have to revise our decision for the afternoon. ”
Many times wars are about making fewer mistakes, and Yang Mingzhi has realized that his butterfly has changed a lot of history. The historic Pripett Marsh was even more closed, a haven for refugees, and the Germans were not willing to go into the mud at all, and the large-scale encirclement of the partisans did not begin until 1943.
However, in early 1942, large-scale battles broke out here, and the Germans began to build defensive lines, which also indicated that the war would be more fierce in the future. As soon as the Germans saw the "dandelions" flying all over the sky, their nerves would be diseased, and if they didn't know it, it would be another big attack.
In this way, it doesn't matter if Balzen makes a big move, anyway, these days, can the Germans still have enough to eat, don't want to position, and charge all the way to the south? Obviously this is not possible.
