Chapter 70: Blitzkrieg

General Kleist, upon receipt of Major MΓΌller's report, immediately had his adjutant send reinforcements.

But at this time, the adjutant was in a dilemma.

"General, where should reinforcements go?" The adjutant asked: "We don't know where they are!" ”

"South!" General Kleist said: "Where there are gunshots! ”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly answered "yes" and then issued the order.

This is easier said than done.

The adjutant knew this very well, because it was night, and the Germans could not send reconnaissance planes to reconnoitre, and even the Germans on the defensive line probably did not know that a Soviet army had bypassed behind them.

As for the "place where there is gunfire", you must know that it was the Soviet-German front, although it had entered a short period of recuperation at night, but the delay of hundreds of kilometers was still full of gunfire.

The order conveyed by the adjutant could only be: "The enemy moves south from the 10th defense area, on foot, about ten minutes!" Stop them! ”

But this is only a big estimate, and finding a team of a few hundred people in the unfamiliar and dangerous darkness without a definite location is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The task was taken on by Captain Louis, whose unit was a reconnaissance unit and at the same time a rapid reaction force.

As soon as he received the task, Captain Louis immediately set off with his troops, and a dozen side tricycles with machine guns, plus several cars full of soldiers, assembled in a burst of whistles of emergency assembly, and in a minute quickly started and went straight to the target.

Captain Louis was in a jeep, and as soon as he got into the car, he spread out the map, then pointed to the map and said to the adjutant: "The enemy is in this position, Ninth Defense!" ”

"Yes, Sector Nine!"

When the convoy arrived at the No. 9 Defense Zone, there was a burst of gunfire and explosions, and the occasional shout in Russian.

Captain Louis didn't think much of it, and with a wave of his hand, he sent his troops up.

The battle was fierce, the two sides fought back and forth, and even Louis's team tended to be surrounded by the enemy.

This surprised Louis and rushed to call for reinforcements on the radio. It wasn't until a few flares lifted off to illuminate the M1935-style helmet on the opposite side that Captain Louis discovered the problem......

"Ceasefire, ceasefire!" Captain Louis shouted angrily: "It's my own people!" Fuck the Russians, we've been tricked by them! ”

Captain Louis was right, it was indeed his own people who were fighting with them on the other side.

This, Major Gavrilov, had already taken into account when drawing up the battle plan.

"The enemy will send troops to intercept!" Major Gavrilov pointed to the map and said: "As we know, the rapid reaction force may only take ten minutes to arrive!" ”

"Once they get entangled!" Commissar Fuming said: "We will not be able to get out, and the Germans around us will soon come around here!" ”

They were right, of course, that to the south was the German offensive line, and the Germans were like ants that they could not be counted, and that if they stopped, they would never be able to get out.

"So we need something to grab their attention!" Shulka said.

"Attention?"

After thinking about it for a while, Shulka pointed to the map and said: "Break through one kilometer to the south as fast as possible, and the main force will continue to the south, leaving a platoon ......"

Speaking of this, Major Gavrilov couldn't help but let out an "oh", nodded, and said, "Let them pretend to break through!" ”

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "Let them break through to the east and get the attention of the Germans in the east, and when the enemy reinforcements arrive, then attract the attention of the reinforcements, and then let them pay attention to each other!" ”

"Good way!" Political Commissar Fuming nodded: "It's decided." ”

Of course, the solution is a good way, but the problem is that the platoon left behind can't get out. But this was obviously not a problem for the Soviet army, so it was quickly arranged.

The development of things was just as Shulka thought, under the deliberate provocation of the Soviet army, the two groups of German troops fought together, and their gunfire at the same time attracted the German troops from other directions to continue to encircle and move closer to the battlefield, and the main force of the Soviet army took advantage of this time to rush all the way south.

They even came across a group of Germans who had been withdrawn from the battlefield to rest, perhaps tired from the battle, and all but a few sentries were leaning on pillboxes or curled up in craters to sleep.

They slept so soundly that few people reacted to the "rumbling" of Soviet tanks.

But they can't seem to blame it.

The first is that the sound of gunfire around is not small, and people who fall asleep in this environment will automatically block out the sound of the outside world.

The second is that they take it for granted that the tank that will appear here is their own tank, so even if someone is woken up, it doesn't take it seriously.

Even the Sentinels thought so...... The Sentinels had even more reason to think so, because the two tanks themselves were German tanks, and although they were in the dark, they could be recognized from a distance by looking at the outline.

Therefore, the sentry just shook his flashlight in this direction from a distance, and then continued to smoke and chat on his own. They thought it was nothing more than a group of friendly troops passing through their own zone.

It wasn't until the tank had increased its power and rushed into the crowd of German soldiers lying on the ground, rolling him into a bloody and wailing outfit that they realized something was wrong.

But by then it was too late...... The machine guns on the tanks "clicked" outwards and spewed tongues of fire, and the Soviet soldiers rushed out of the darkness in droves, and many German soldiers died in their sleep before they could understand what was going on.

Major Gavrilov saw that the time was almost up, and then he ordered: "Change direction, follow me!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he led the soldiers to the east to kill.

When the plan was made, everyone was worried about the breakout plan.

"Can we make it?" Captain Venyakov said: "If any one of these links goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable......

The officers involuntarily turned their gaze to Shulka.

"I don't know if it's going to work!" Shulka replied: "All I can say is ...... It has the potential to succeed, and the probability of success is higher than breaking through directly from the east! ”

Major Gavrilov nodded in agreement: "Just fight like that!" The focus of this battle was on speed, and the Germans had always been good at fighting with 'blitzkrieg'. Today, we also use the same 'blitzkrieg'. Whether we succeed depends on whether they can cope with the 'blitzkrieg'! ”
