The defending forces were defeated, the besieging forces were defeated again, and the road was met with two ambushes with heavy losses, and to make matters worse, the enemy's troops had penetrated into the periphery of the important city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The successive bad news added up to the chief of staff of the 715th Division.

Swagger was taken to the military hospital where he woke up and immediately remembered what had happened. "I have to hurry back to the division! Nurse, bring me my uniform! "It turns out that this person has already been changed into the clothes of a patient, because this person is the strongest brain of the 715th Division, if he is in poor health, then Schultz does not think that other staff officers have any new ideas, it is better for the chief of staff to recover from his illness.

After all, Swagger stubbornly returned to the division headquarters, facing a group of gossiping staff officers, and what they said was the same.

"Shut up! Animals! I can't die, now let's make a plan to deal with it right away. ”

When everyone saw it, the chief of staff was still wearing the clothes of a sick person and a coat wrapped around him, and he was standing in the division headquarters like this.

"Ahh Swagger, you're here?! Schultz was stunned.

"That's right! We have to pick ourselves up now, and in the hospital I've thought of some countermeasures. ”

Schultz has been in a hurry, and what he is currently experiencing is a little better than the previous 707th Division. Now that the important chief of staff is safe and sound, the hanging heart will be put down.

The strategy Swagger had in mind was to ask for help from friendly forces while also strengthening his own defenses. He called the staff officers to the table, and pointed with the baton in his hand.

"Gentlemen, we are in a very bad situation. On the one hand, we are facing great military pressure and have been forced to fight on two fronts. On the other hand, we have suffered so many failures that it becomes a laughing stock. This is our predicament, to ensure our honor, we have to drive this group of enemies away! ”

"This? Is this group of guerrillas really that difficult to deal with? A staff officer asked.

"Guerrillas?" Swagger was now disgusted by the term, "Are you absolutely just a group of guerrillas?" Or do you think that the partisans are made up of ordinary Soviets?! Give up your foolish notions! The group of enemies was so strong that our two regiments could not capture Homnich, and they attacked almost instantaneously and the city was defeated. ”

"Yes, I heard what the battalion commander Gustav said, and these statements of his are incredible. It was as if it was we who attacked, and it was the Soviets who defended. ”

"In fact, it was the Soviet army that launched a blitzkrieg, and our army fled. When we chose to attack, the tactics were like those of the Soviets, because we were not German soldiers at all, and we couldn't beat a small city! The anger on Swagger's face was not only ruthless to the Soviets, but also a resentment against his own side.

"What can I do? My Chief of Staff, we are more guilty of failing to take prisoners of war than we failed in the attack on Homnich, and we made them escape! The division commander said worriedly.

"So! We must keep our glory. Otherwise all of you, as well as myself, and most of the officers, will be removed from your posts! ”

This is something that no one wants, and the staff officers don't want to look like a private, and all eyes are on Swagger.

Therefore, he no longer sold the guanzi, he pointed to Lechtsa and said: "Since there are Soviet partisans on the outskirts of this city, I can report that there are 100 guerrillas here, or we can say that there are more than 1,000 guerrillas, and we can even say that this is the regular Soviet army hidden in the forest, with more than 5,000 or even 10,000 troops." ”

"So?! Are we deliberately exaggerating the strength of the enemy? Schultz looked at his fellow suspiciously.

"That's right, although the total strength of our 715th Division is 15,000 people, the real combat strength is equivalent to four regiments, and the rest are logistics troops. Moreover, the logistics units have basically become transport units working for friendly forces, and the only troops that we can actually put into operation are three main regiments and one artillery regiment. ”

"Three infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, and the rest are such small units as anti-tank battalions and reconnaissance battalions." Schultz said.

"Now two infantry regiments and an artillery battalion are on the outskirts of the city of Homnich, and they cannot retreat, and the task is to stand there and confront the enemy. Of the remaining troops, one regiment moved closer to our divisional headquarters, and the other went straight to Gomel. Then we had other troops, such as the reconnaissance battalion, form small detachments to strengthen the defenses on both sides of the road. That's what we can do at the moment, and it's very difficult for just one infantry division to accomplish the above tasks. ”

Schultz pinched his chin, and he thought back to what his predecessor had done. The Soviet villages that surrounded the roads were almost completely slaughtered, and most of the villages were burned down, and those that were not burned became barracks for the army.

All the cattle and sheep of the villagers were taken away, and only a few escaped.

This act of killing ordinary people was the revenge of the predecessor for the huge profits of the guerrilla warfare movement, and it is true, because because of Schneider's revenge, the life of the guerrillas in this area has been cut off, and without the villagers, there is no one to send them food and salt.

But he was still killed by the guerrillas, the "swamp guerrilla brigade" who had always come from afar and must have been very good at long-distance raids.

Scholz shuddered at the thought of this, because his division headquarters was also in an occupied village, and the villagers had already been killed, and all of them were lying in a mass grave. Then once the enemy touches his position, he is likely to come straight here, but his own defense force has only one guard battalion. Its task is not only to protect the division headquarters, but also to protect the hospitals and even the ammunition depots of the troops.

Seeing that the division commander was thinking for a while, Swagge pushed him and asked, "How is it?" Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Understood, my friend. According to the maximum strength of the enemy you just mentioned, the enemy is suspected of attacking Gomel with tens of thousands of people, and we will report it as such. ”

"Alas! That's right! Swagger continued: "I don't know how many of the enemy attacked Gomel, but they were able to rescue 3,000 prisoners of war, ambush our convoy, and attack and defend Homnich, and the fact that 5,000 men could not be defeated only proves that they have a large number of troops." Let's just say that a Soviet division hidden in the forest probably suddenly appeared in response to Stalin's call, and their purpose was to wait for the opportunity to suddenly end the ambush. In this way, our defeat becomes a kind of inevitability. ”

Schultz nodded, "That's it!" I'll report to the commander of the army group right away! And the head of Belarus, Kube, reports! ”

And just as the division headquarters of the 715th Division was thinking about countermeasures, the 1,000 people led by Yang Mingzhi began a large-scale sabotage operation.

An attacked road checkpoint, which Soviet troops attacked.

It is a node of a feeder road, which is located in the middle of the forest, and a path leads to Lechitsa. There were only ten people at the checkpoint, and now there are only ten corpses of German soldiers.

The battle was very short, and with this, the Soviets had already attacked two checkpoints, and none of the German soldiers survived.

Before attacking, Yang Mingzhi called the best accurate shooter in the army to his side. "Each of you has a target, and after aiming, you have to fire at the same time, so that we can destroy all the enemies in an instant."

In other words, Yang Mingzhi can think of this tactic, and he also thought of it after watching TV series in later generations. The American army attacked a German patrol, the enemy was seven, and the American detachment immediately received an order, and with a volley, the enemy was instantly annihilated.

Therefore, the Soviet army also did the same, and star fruit and Natasha became Yang Mingzhi's top scorers.

German soldiers stood outside with rifles on their backs, smoking cigarettes, while others stayed in wooden huts with fires to keep warm. The attack came suddenly, almost in a volley of gunfire, and all the Germans in the open fell to the ground. Blood was sprinkled on the snow, and they fell in all directions. A few of them groaned a little and stopped moving.

The Soviet commandos rushed up and did not give anyone in the room time to react at all. The soldier threw a grenade and shouted "Granada", and the explosion occurred, and the enemy was simply blown out and died.

This tactic succeeded twice at once, and the Soviets came and went quickly. Yang Mingzhi ordered: "The battle is over, take all the weapons and ammunition that the enemy can use, and set fire to the checkpoint." ”

But he thought about it again, since it was sabotage, it was not possible to leave some clues, and he had to let the enemy know who did it for the first time! Because, Yang Mingzhi ordered the soldiers, sprinkled the snow with the blood of the enemy, and wrote the word "swamp" on a huge scale.

This one was very bloody, because the Soviet soldiers took daggers and cut open the corpses of the enemy, as if they were dealing with a livestock, but it was even more brutal and excessive.

The soldiers who hated the Germans became extremely vicious, and if they indulged in these behaviors, ordinary soldiers would become monsters with only animal nature and no humanity. If Yang Mingzhi was not careful, they insulted the corpse. "This group of old hairy people, or the people of Western Europe say that you are new **** and barbarians."

Yang Mingzhi kicked away a few fighters who urinated on the corpses of the Germans, and ordered: "Bastards, they are already dead, give the dead a little dignity." ”

"But! They actually ...... "A soldier who was clearly very aggrieved and resentful, struggled to lift his pants.

"Enough! You are Soviet Red Army fighters, not barbarians! The enemy is dead, so stop doing boring things, and you should keep killing the German soldiers instead of continuing to vent on the corpses of the enemy! Now let's move on! Go ahead and destroy the enemy! ”

As soon as Yang Mingzhi beckoned, the troops began to continue to march westward, the target, Lechicha. (To be continued.) )
