Chapter 929: Moziri's Guards and Reinforcements

Yang Mingzhi's offensive and the paratrooper battalion were launched at the same time, and he was not facing the barracks, but some special buildings!

It was heavy concrete structures, and the blast wave tickled them. Because these buildings are none other than the Killing Factory.

The fire lit up the whole of Leopovka red, better than flares.

Yang Mingzhi waved his right fist and ordered the whole army to charge at the building with the chimney, and himself, even Natasha and star fruit, joined the charge.

The girls roared in their high-pitched voices, clutching their rifles and following behind the frantic man.

The Germans did not have a decent means of defense at all on this offensive road, but they just fired some guns at random, and it is unknown whether they injured people.

Anyway, as long as there is an abnormal fire in the direction of the attack, it will be covered by fire.

The RPGs in the team are the first to bombard enemy machine-gun fortresses, whether there are enemies there or not. Under the firelight, the sandbag fortress was clearly visible, the violent explosion from the missiles destroyed such a position, the machine guns were scrapped, and the fortress lost its meaning.

All potential firing points were blown up, and the attacking soldiers were left unstoppable, and the entire reconnaissance battalion began to enter the death camp.

……

At this moment, Leopovka at night, a thick column of smoke rose above it, and it spread high into the sky to form a huge black river, which covered the moon and the starlight, and drifted very slowly towards Mozyri.

The sound of the explosion of the guns was already very low fifteen kilometers away, but the dull shaking of the earth was felt by all.

The people who lived in the city rose one after another, and they saw that the western sky was shining red, as if a forest was on fire!

The headquarters of the German 734th Division was not in the city, but was guarded by one of its logistics units and a large number of puppet military police. The Mozyri garrison, which was the first to observe the explosion and the fire, quickly judged that the place of the accident was in Leopovka. This was definitely not an accident, the soldiers clearly judged the sound of gunfire, it was a military attack!

It was only two o'clock when Borisman, the commander of the 734th Division, was awakened by the guards who broke into his bedroom.

He also had a hint of getting up and scolded the panicked soldiers.

"What's going on? Knock on the door before you enter! Don't tell me those damn partisans bombed our railroad in the middle of the night! ”

Still frightened, the soldier replied: "It's an attack!" They attacked Leopovka! Just a short location west of Moziri! It may have fallen there! ”

As if he had been poked in the ass by a needle, Borisman in his pajamas jumped out of bed in an instant. He didn't bother to take off his pajamas, so he casually put on his coat and ran to the command room of the division headquarters.

Now, the regiments were on alert, including several "Eastern Volunteer Battalions" and security police battalions serving the German army. Borisman learned that the attack had taken place just half an hour earlier, and it was now half past two, and although some people were in a deep sleep, it was too unrealistic to pull up all the fighters under his command!

But he has an obligation to send troops to the place where he was attacked!

More than a dozen staff officers, including the chief of staff, quickly gathered at the division headquarters. At first, everyone only thought that the guerrillas had attacked the railroad or the train, and they did not realize the gravity of the situation until the division commander himself explained the situation.

"Gentlemen, those damned bandits who came out of nowhere with a large number of troops, they suddenly attacked Leopovka, which was our prisoner of war transfer station, which has now been reduced to a sea of fire!

They attacked in the middle of the night, and I am even worried now that the spearhead of their attack was actually Moziri! After all, it's just a dozen kilometers from the city! ”

"Impossible! Partisans dare to attack the city? What do they rely on? We have thousands of people stationed in Moziri! The chief of staff interjected without hesitation.

"Yes! I don't think so either, but they're probably already on the move! Thinking about what happened to us yesterday, I now have reason to believe that the enemy has sent several forces to attack us! So, who else can achieve such an effect? ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on the huge map of the area spread out on the huge table in the division headquarters, but this detailed map appeared blank in the huge area at the confluence of the Pripet and Dnieper rivers. It was written only in German with the words "Russian 284th Infantry Division".

Many staff officers took a look at it, and everyone made an astonishing judgment that coincided.

Borysman propped up the table and said bitterly: "Gentlemen, it seems that we are facing a great crisis. Those Russians sent a lot of troops, and they are no longer thinking about attacking in the direction of Gomel, but about us! An area centered on Moziri! I still don't know what exactly their purpose is? It could be a raid on our territory to sabotage the lines of communication, or a direct attack on Moziri!

These Russians are very cunning and very tenacious, and I think it is really difficult to fight them with our strength alone!

So, I made up my mind that today we will not face them alone! ”

Borisman didn't have a very good solution, the Russian 284th Division, after a year of research on many major local battles in the south of Belarus, found that the unit has a soft spot for night raids, and their speed of action is also very fast! They were also very good at guerrilla warfare in the forest, which was very disadvantageous to the German army.

Borisman immediately ordered the main regiment under his command to get up immediately, reorganize their equipment, and organize defense in the defense zone. And one of the infantry regiments and the only artillery battalion, with their heavy equipment, rushed to Mozili as fast as they could.

As for the defenders of Moziri, the logistics force of this German division of 3,000 men, they were very poorly equipped, and even if they were only equipped with rifles, they were all mobilized. Originally, the city had a certain amount of city defense, and now machine guns and mortars have been erected at various intersections into the city. Some logistical units also set up temporary defensive positions on the periphery of the city, especially in the west of the city.

But Borisman also knew that with such a defense alone, if he faced a huge number of superior enemies, the defense would still be very difficult, and he would have to divide his forces and go straight to the burning Leopovka!

A police battalion to fight the guerrillas and ensure law and order in the occupied territories played the role of cannon fodder, and their battalion commander was a Pole, and most of his men were Poles. In fact, this unit was the former Polish Wehrmacht, and they hated Germany and the Soviet Union, and they were even more dismissive of the Jews. They did not want to suffer in the prisoner of war camps, so they listened to the German propaganda against the Bolsheviks and cooperated with them to fight the Soviet Union, so that they had a reason to continue fighting.

At three o'clock in the morning, the commander of this police battalion, Rakovsky, gathered his own troops, and he ignored the Germans, who had already begun to defend the city, but pointed to the burning place in the west and shouted: "Gentlemen, the Russians attacked there!" That's our prisoner of war camp! The Russians attacked there, and they wanted to rescue more Russians! Gentlemen! As soon as those damned Russians take up arms again, they will attack us! Now that I've been authorized, our whole battalion will go there and kill all the Russians, even the prisoners of war! Now, follow me. ”

His words were impassioned, and he didn't know how many of his subordinates he could impress. But one thing Rakovsky knew very well was that the Germans used himself and his more than 500 brothers as cannon fodder.

The Russians are menacing, since they can hit Leopovka, the defenders there are not enough for this group of Russians to eat, and they will die if they go by themselves! Because there must be a thousand prisoners of war there! These prisoners of war picked up the weapons they were killing, and where could they deal with the hundreds of them?

At the same time, the quick-witted Rakovsky also understood that the Germans sent him to war, and they basically made a show. The division commander never expected to defeat the enemy who was setting fire, but probably just to make a show in order to give an account to his superiors.

So, what reason do you have to march along the railroad in a hurry?

The Poles deliberately slowed down, and they ran out of the city into the night, and at this point Rakovsky immediately ordered to walk slowly! They walked at the speed of a walk, and it was dawn to reach their destination so quickly! It is precisely in this way that they act unhurriedly in order to preserve their strength.
