Chapter 926: Night Attack (1)
In this way, these Soviet soldiers who were in ambush hated the Germans even more. They watched in amazement as the "white objects" were taken away by the armed men, and they entered a room. Half an hour later, the flatbed trucks were pushed in one after another and came out loaded with "goods".
Even if the flatbed trucks are covered with cloth, it is self-evident what the so-called cargo is.
Peroniski choked uncontrollably as he looked at the chimney that had begun to smoke black, and he could only watch, so far he could do nothing.
Balzen gave his men a reconnaissance mission, and the battalion quickly split into platoon units, and soon his line was two kilometers long. Each platoon has two or three observation posts, and nearly 40 observation posts have already begun to observe and record in full swing.
An observer has an observer and a recorder, and they carry telescopes that are not high-precision, and are even temporarily replaced by PU scopes for sniper rifles. As a result, there are even sniper teams that have become professional scouts.
Soldiers need to collect the enemy's fire deployment, determine all the machine gun fire points, sketch the enemy's building plans, and watch out for enemy patrols.
The most important thing in front-line reconnaissance is to avoid startling the enemy, but the enemy seems to be very lax, they have patrols, but those with rifles on their backs are just lining up and wandering around the barbed wire fence on the outer wall of the prisoner of war camp.
Obviously, the machine guns they erected on the towers, the bunkers surrounded by sandbags on the flat, were not aimed at the invading enemy from the outside, but at the prisoners of war from within.
Each platoon sent a steady stream of men to the improvised battalion headquarters in Balzen, and the intelligence of each reconnaissance group was quickly gathered.
Balzen did not dare to relax at all, the sun was about to sink into the horizon, and the light of the sky was only the last afterglow, which, according to the principle of the atmosphere reflecting sunlight, could last for the last half hour.
Peronsky drew up a topographic map of Leopovka before he set out, and after receiving new information, this map was quickly expanded, and within a few months the Germans built new barracks, and the camps on both sides of the railway were greatly expanded!
Now, the map has a special symbol, with Balzen marking the machine-gun fortress in a circle, the tower with the letter А, and the Russian word directly on the ground of the barracks. And the building, which looked like the enemy's command center, was simply marked with the Nazi mark.
What used to be a rough sketch paper is now colorful!
At night, Leopovka is still lively. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the reconnaissance battalion had already recorded ten trains that had stopped there.
Barzen, who was still lying on his stomach in the grass and secretly observing, couldn't help asking: "Is this little Leopovka more important than Mozyri?" ”
Peroniski: "The city of Moziri is very small, and the train station is very small. The city is now a barracks, and its original inhabitants have either been killed or fled. Mozyr was renovated after you left, and the new occupants, either German immigrants, waiters, German Ukrainians, Belarusians, Latvians, etc.!
Before the outbreak of the war, there were not many trains passing through our Mozyri station, and there were not many stops. I don't think the situation will change much after the German occupation, and it is likely that it was the command center of the German army in this area! ”
Peroniski's statement Barzen was fully convinced, after all, this man was a worker at the Mozyri Railway a year ago.
And his rhetoric had to make Balzen think a little more, that is, in the early hours of the morning, the enemy could come to the rescue of the army along the railway. Naturally, Mozili was inhabited by German troops, and if they couldn't get out of it, they would definitely have a fierce battle with a menacing enemy!
Balzen asked worriedly, "Have you told the commander about these things?" ”
Of course he does! That's why he asked for a quick solution in this operation! But how quickly do we need to save prisoners of war? ”
Balzen shook his head and replied, "Believe it! That man is a god of war! ”
……
People who have really been in battle for a long time can only maintain absolute calmness before the outbreak of battle, and even sleep peacefully without heart and lungs.
For some people, this is not the case at all! In Joshua's women's barracks, some of the girls were indeed on the battlefield for the first time, and even though they were in reserve, many of them were still tossing and turning due to excitement and nervousness.
Even individual paratrooper fighters had difficulty sleeping, they could only lie quietly and remain quiet.
Minutes and seconds passed, and at nine o'clock in the evening, the time for departure finally arrived. Whether the fighters slept comfortably or not, they would quickly fall into euphoria.
Sharp-eyed soldiers wake up their sleepy-eyed comrades.
In the soft moonlight, the fighters had already begun to straighten out their equipment. The blankets were re-rolled and left in place, and the paratrooper fighters also took out the excess rations in their bags. They carried only two packs of biscuit powder, and the rest of the weight space was reserved for ammunition.
Suddenly, the weight of the donkey was reduced a lot, but the weight of individual fighters was greatly increased - strong men with 82-mm mortars and accompanying shells with their bare hands!
The night was quiet, no one said anything, only the crackling of metal checking the bolt.
The Germans stationed in Leopovka were completely unaware that twenty kilometers away a group of well-armed Soviet troops began their deadly rush.
Before leaving, Yang Mingzhi did not do any pre-war training.
At night, the two paratrooper battalions were fully armed and lined up, and he immediately ordered to be pulled out, and resolutely rushed to the battlefield, leaving only the military rations all over the ground and the expectant eyes of the female soldiers and non-combatants who stayed behind.
"Comrades watch your step, we must maintain a high speed in order to guarantee a reach of positions before midnight! Beware of stumbling feet, everybody! ”
Yang Mingzhi ordered so, and he himself was extra careful.
They followed the path that Balzen had already explored, followed the guidance of the compass, looked for the marks left by the reconnaissance battalion along the way, and ran wildly under the moon at a speed of nearly ten kilometers in an hour.
It would be impossible without a man with a broken foot, and in fact such a person had a reason to return to the camp, but the paratroopers and their sense of honor demanded that they not do so. Even if you are limping, you have to run to your destination, even if you have to follow the ass of the large army.
For the next three hours, Yang Mingzhi and his men did not pause, and the continuous high-intensity march made his calves a little sore, and he had to endure in order to win.
He paid special attention to the two girls who were following him, and couldn't help but be concerned: "Natasha, Bethika! Tired or not? ”
"Not tired! I'm not tired at all! ”
Carambola spoke a little panting, it's strange that she's not tired!
"Since you're not tired, you two should check it out! Igor, if they're tired, you can help them with their backs! ”
Such a rapid march was not a problem for a strong man who trained physically every day, and Igor always claimed that when the war was over, he and his men would be qualified to be marathon champions. At this moment, this tall and strong man really didn't feel tired, and the day's battle completely made him understand the commander's intention to train the soldier's physical fitness desperately.
However, not everyone is so physically fit! The only non-combatant Bersky, he was tired and out of breath. The camera in his hand is the best weapon, in order to be able to capture the bloody truth under the iron hooves of the Nazis, this young man also fights!
