Chapter 442: Siege Three Que One Tactics
At four o'clock in the morning, the coldest time of the day, the temperature was minus two degrees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The climate has gradually warmed up, and the time is quietly entering March. The fighters of the 284th Division were so busy with the war that they forgot that February had passed. Yevlov, who woke up, looked back on what had happened in the past ten days, and it was really thrilling. "I just ordered the reconnaissance company to retaliate against the Germans' planes, and it turned out to be a decisive battle in the area?" How the war situation developed like this can only be thought about slowly after the war.
I saw that the vast number of soldiers had arranged their blankets one after another, and bundled them with hemp rope, along with their ammunition and rations, carried them on their backs.
The frost on the rifle is wiped off, and a lot of people are checking the bolt. The Heavy opens the bolt and makes sure that the chamber of the gun has not entered the dust......
Suddenly, a few roars broke the silence, and three BT light tanks were launched. They had a searchlight mounted on the front of their car, and the sudden light made many soldiers uncomfortable. The lights illuminated the road in the direction of progress, and the soldiers moved in unison, and the battalions stood in formation and ready to go.
The soldiers moved swiftly and without dragging their feet, which showed that Yevlov was confident that they were ready for a decisive battle.
"That's it, the whole army marches forward!" At Yevlov's order, three tanks were the first to set off, followed by jeeps with spare fuel and heavy weapons, followed by infantry in four columns.
All tanks and vehicles emerged from the hidden forest, and the whole army marched through the plains between the forests at a speed of five kilometers per hour. Before leaving, Yevlov also ordered to get in touch with Yang Mingzhi, and the two armies once again determined the direction.
At this time, Yang Mingzhi's dream had to be woken up, theoretically the division commander's reinforcements could arrive when the sun rose, maybe today would be the day of the decisive battle!
So the Germans didn't react much?
Of course, Wolf sent some scouts to the periphery of the position, but unfortunately all the scouts were killed by Balzen's men with cold weapons. It was nightfall, the scout didn't return, and Wolf didn't think much of it.
The forest is so vast that they may have lost their way, but they will be able to find their way back after dawn.
The man was given the order to hold his position for two days, two days long enough for the retreating men to return to the road line. Once the friendly forces were safe, the Wolf regiment immediately retreated. However, these two days are not necessarily peaceful, and their superiors also know that the Soviet army is moving, but there are no extra troops!
In the German position, ordinary soldiers slept in the trenches wrapped in blankets, and most of them set up tents on the top of the trenches and relied on this "semi-crypt" house to withstand the wind and cold. Many people are exhausted from a busy day's work, and the quality of sleep is good this night.
The only ones who suffered were the machine gunners who were still holding out, and they were equipped with several machine guns with night vision devices, and the high-tech equipment helped them no longer worry about the enemy attacking suddenly at night.
Every move of the Germans was watched by Balzen's men, and even at night, every hour after an hour, soldiers rushed back to the camp to report the situation, and of course the report must have been safe. Even in an emergency, the vast number of soldiers can instantly enter the combat state, after all, the guns are close to them.
Yang Mingzhi and Roshakov did not rest any longer, and the two had already begun to study how to arrange the strategy and tactics of this annihilation battle after the arrival of the division commander.
As the deputy division commander and chief of staff, Yang Mingzhi has the absolute right to speak, and he already knows how to fight the battle in the future.
At dawn the sky was blue, the sun was about to rise, and the temperature had risen a little, filling the forest with morning mist.
The soldiers sent in advance to meet Yevlov had already completed the reception, and when these soldiers saw the tank at the head, they were excited and believed that the next big battle would be won.
"The division commander will come with us, the tank troops will hide in the forest for a while longer. The infantry followed us into the forest camp, and the deputy division commander had been waiting for a long time. ”
Yevlov nodded, and immediately did as the soldiers said.
In this way, the four newly arrived infantry battalions entered the forest, and almost all the combat forces of the 284th Division were gathered.
Yang Mingzhi finally met his old comrades-in-arms again, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Yevlov asked anxiously: "Have you already figured out the battle plan?" I brought with me four battalions plus a platoon of tanks, two and a half thousand men in the whole army. ”
"The plan is already there! Since Comrade Division Commander is in such a hurry, we will now hold an operational meeting! Go to war today if you want! ”
Yevlov called the four battalion commanders under his command by name, so that there were twelve battalion commanders participating in the military meeting, and the total strength under his command was as high as 6,500 people!
Everyone sat in a circle, Yang Mingzhi stood in the center of the circle, and made a simple sand table out of wooden blocks and clay balls, which was convenient for everyone to order their tasks.
There is no red tape here, and Yang Mingzhi also directly explained the task straight to the point.
"In this operation we are going to annihilate the enemy in front of us, they must have never appeared before, and participated in the encirclement and suppression of our fourth infantry regiment. The enemy had built fortifications in the forest plains, and this operation was very similar to the battle in which our army had blocked two regiments of the 715th Division.
I decided that the troops were divided into three parts, which is equivalent to dividing the army into three infantry regiments.
Comrade division commander, you lead the new comrades to attack from the front, that is, to the south of the enemy's position, with tanks in the lead.
Roshakov, you lead your men to attack from the western flank of the enemy.
And I, attacking from the north side of the enemy.
Our army will attack from three directions at the same time, and the enemy will definitely not be able to parry! The rout will happen! ”
"Then to the east of the enemy's position, since it is a battle of annihilation, why is there no attack there?" Yevlov asked curiously.
"Because of the three of them." Yang Mingzhi said that this word was purely Chinese, "I arranged the formation in this way based on the ancient tactics, the east side of the enemy's position is deliberately left, which will prevent the enemy from fighting to the death, just imagine, if the enemy in distress finds that the east side is not blocking them, they must be rushing there." They thought they would be able to escape, but in fact, think about it, what's in the east?! ”
"It's the Dnieper!" Battalion commander Ravlenty immediately said.
As soon as the words fell, a smile suddenly appeared on people's faces, and everyone had clearly realized the viciousness of the deputy division commander's tactics. But Yevlov was still a little puzzled, "You better tell me your final plan!" I can't think of a tactic that is too complicated. ”
Yang Mingzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "Comrade division commander still needs to learn war in war." To the east of us is the Dnieper, and after we defeated the enemy's armored battalions, the enemy who was trapped on the river plunged into the water, and as a result, a large number of the enemy drowned. The temperature of the river is still bitterly cold, and this place is so close to the river that we can once again replace our troops with water, so that our casualties will be minimized. ”
It only then dawned on Yevlov that when the captured battalion commander Niklaus was interrogated, it was revealed that hundreds of his soldiers had jumped into the river, and most of them drowned!
Yevlov said with satisfaction: "I already understand, but the enemy's position also looks solid. So this time I'm also bringing you the weapon you need the most. ”
"Really?" This was not expected by Yang Mingzhi, and Yevlov brought the recoilless shells that the troops needed the most, as well as the RPG warheads that came off the production line recently. (To be continued.) )
