The return of the squad to the battalion was not just a matter of lining up the column and going back in a step-by-step manner, but it may have been a coincidence that Balzen was blocked by enemy armored forces as he crossed the road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Mingzhi completely overturned the inference of some people in the division, and he was the only one with the most strategic strategy in the entire division. The other staff officers are just a group of "temporary workers", Yang Mingzhi is not conceited, but they are too optimistic, at present, from both sides of the highway to the place where the Dnieper River and the Pripet River meet, the situation of the enemy and us is staggered!

He concluded that the enemy had a large number of pursuers, and perhaps this was not all of the 2,000 pursuers he had received from the intelligence.

In fact, as Yang Mingzhi speculated, a partisan brigade of more than 1,000 people appeared in view, and the battle commanded by Tchaikov had long been regarded as a petty fight, which was an itch on the skin of the German army. But when the airport was bombed, the Germans did not hesitate to think that the initiator was this guerrilla brigade!

Even though Hoffman rushed to the airfield, they were a step too late, only to be met by the air force that had fled in disarray.

Koch explained to Hoffman: "We were attacked by the enemy during the night. Their numbers are not large, but their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying! ”

These statements are the same as the previous battles, and when you think back to the previous battles you fought with the enemy, the damn Homnic is a pain forever! Hoffman believed the Air Force captain's words, because he and his first and now's bad looks speak for themselves.

After the two reconciled, Hoffman reported to the divisional headquarters, and he continued to lead his troops towards the still burning airfield.

The flames were still burning, especially the gasoline that flowed from the oil depot, and it was completely charred everywhere they went. It wasn't this one that was most frightening, as Koch guided Hoffman through the original airfield deployment. What now? Completely in ruins. Several huge craters lay across the area, which was the place where the ammunition was detonated, and the violent explosion blew out a large crater, causing the soldiers who went to investigate to collapse directly to the ground in shock.

Hoffman also reported the latest information immediately.

Through this, Schultz realized that he had estimated the damage too lightly.

"Is there any value in reusing such an airport? Look at Hoffman's report, the runway is full of plane wreckage, all the buildings have been burned, and the most terrible thing is the explosion of the ammunition depot, the entire runway, and the nearby woods have been wiped out! ”

The division commander's angry appearance was very terrifying, and in the headquarters of the 715th Division, many staff officers did not dare to speak, and only Swagge could do something at this time.

Koch's report contained valuable information that convinced Swagger that the enemy's retreat was in the opposite direction of the Germans. "The losses of the people of the Air Force are too great, and they also carry a large number of ordinary people," he advised. We must do a good job of dealing with the aftermath, and we must also raise our troops to continue to advance eastward, and it is very likely that we will catch up with the enemy when we return to us. ”

But after a series of failures, Schultz had to think twice about whether this decision was the right one. "The reinforcement of the airfield is an order of the army group, we have completed the task, the airfield is still in our hands. Before that, we had lost too much in the battle with the enemy, and if we let Hoffman continue to search, God knows what they would encounter in the forest! In case the whole army is wiped out, I can also take off my hat and go directly to the court-martial! ”

The division commander was very depressed, and Swagge continued to advance eastward, which was a violation of military discipline, unless the troops could really encircle and suppress the enemy. Is this possible? As the division commander guessed, this makes a lot of sense, and who can guarantee that the enemy's actions are not a trap.

What the hell are the Soviets going to do?! Could it be that the ultimate goal is to storm the city?!

Swagger was puzzled and simply didn't care! As soon as he and Schultz combined, he simply ordered Hoffman to camp on the spot, and after a day of correction, he returned to the barracks with the air force men and waited for the next order.

But the development of the war situation was really unexpected, and with the emergence of the Gomel underground city committee and the Tchaikov partisan brigade, the German army group, which was mired in intelligence confusion, was completely convinced that the chain of battles around the road must have some connection with the Soviet government organization.

This force not only exposed its existence, but also went directly south to break through the road. The poorly equipped partisans actually defeated the line of defense consisting of tanks and armored vehicles!

There have been too many battles on this road, and each time the Germans have paid a lot of casualties, including the tragic destruction of cities or strongholds. Where are they partisans, as if the south of Belarus was the front line.

In the face of such a powerful combat force, who can be sure that they are not planning an attack on a certain city? After all, the strength of the Soviet army in the swamp exceeded 10,000 people, and this was what the Germans firmly believed!

In order to boost morale, for revenge, and for the stability of the occupied areas, the German army group decided to carry out an anti-aircraft artillery mosquito-like operation, that is, to send heavy troops to kill this Soviet army that was sabotaging all the way with a thunderous blow!

For this reason, the 715th and 722nd Divisions received the task of urgently dispatching troops because they were closest to the accident site. Considering that the pressure on the defensive roads was still very high, each division could dispatch a maximum of two regiments of mobile troops.

The battle was about honor and even stability in the south of Belarus, and Scholz received an order to send two infantry regiments.

This was the order he and Swagger had always dreamed of, and this belated order made Swagger quite unhappy. "If we had been ordered to continue the pursuit, the enemy would not have breached the road."

He was sorry for the loss of armored vehicles, and the 715th Division was counting on Nicklaus's armored troops to support the table. As a result, they did not show a crushing offensive posture, but suffered heavy losses under the enemy's special weapon attack. Now his people are lost again!

Scholz couldn't wait for revenge, so he and Swagra gathered all the staff officers they could muster and brainstormed them.

Eventually, Swagger concluded: "The enemy has broken through the road and headed south, and depending on the place of battle, the best route for them to enter the swamp is along the Dnieper!" Considering their inevitably poor logistics, we ......"

At this point, a staff officer interrupted Swagger at an inopportune moment. This is indeed disrespectful, but this man claims to have gotten the latest results of the surveillance!

"We haven't deciphered the code of the Russians at all, how do we know what they say? It's nothing more than a piece of code piece by piece. As soon as Swagger's words fell, the staff officer immediately explained that this was the latest information.

"This information is not about what the enemy says, but about the approximate location of its launch source!"

As soon as the staff officer's words fell, the few hairs on Swag's head stood up! He pulled the man in and told him to explain everything.

It turned out that the Germans were able to estimate the approximate location of their emission sources by listening to electromagnetic waves. They listened to the signal from the Gomel city council, because it had always had its own firing style, so that the Germans were sure that they had spotted the big fish.

Now Swagger was completely sure that he drew a line on the map according to the direction of the signal, and the target was on the banks of the Dnieper.

The military plan began to be formulated immediately, in order to be able to strike first, to pursue the target earlier, and secondly, to take all the credit for 722 in one step.

As soon as Swagger and Schultz combined, they simply planned to let Nicklaus take the last of the armored troops, as well as a large number of jeeps, and let at least one battalion of troops form a mobile force and rush towards the south of the approximate position of the target!

"Theoretically, our powerful vehicles can run wild in the wilderness, and it will take a day to reach the predetermined goal!" Swagger drew a line on the map with a pencil and decided to lay it right there.

With such an arrangement, Schultz was convinced of the eventual success. He was still a little worried, it was already close to the area of activity of the partisans in the swamps, and they would not carry out a counterattack?

Forget it, it would be nice if they poured their nests out, and the battle turned into a campaign! As long as it wins the new war, the honor of the 715th Division will all come back! (To be continued.) )
