Chapter 417: The Battle in the Dark Night Forest

Even in the camp where the reconnaissance company was resting, many soldiers still regretted not participating in a series of operations during the day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

We are the most elite troops, even if the losses in the previous battle are large, the elite still exists, and the anti-tank experience is extremely strong, if we were to participate in the war, the losses of the troops will be much smaller. Most people have this mentality, they have long forgotten the fatigue of continuous combat, and the sound of guns is the best stimulant.

The soldiers were very convinced that the Germans were nearby, and they would inevitably attack here with a vengeance, so future battles were a must.

The company commander went to an operational meeting, and many believed that they would be assigned a good task. Therefore, in order to prepare for the next battle, the warriors began to reorganize their armaments.

Soon Balzen returned, and from his cheerful face everyone knew that his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled.

Many people immediately asked, "Are we going to have a military mission soon?" Are we going to dig trenches and organize positions? ”

Balzen immediately replied: "The task is there!" We are now on our mission. I'm sorry you can't rest anymore, but now one last check on your gear and we'll head into the forest right away and do what we have to do! ”

It is likely that the Germans were very close to this area, and the reconnaissance company did its old job, and the whole company formed three search groups according to infantry platoons. Even if there is a lot of attrition, there is no problem, because the three platoons have only one mission - to provide early warning for battle.

This is everyone's dream, and it is a pity to miss the battle during the day, and it is necessary to continue the efforts at night.

After the battle, there were only about 20 soldiers left in each platoon, they were all experienced veterans, and their weapons and equipment were more suitable for forest combat.

At six o'clock in the evening, when the sky was still somewhat bright, Balzen led his troops northward, and they were to search for the night, and they would continue to sleep in the open.

At the same time, Yang Mingzhi is also embarking on his roundabout plan.

He himself was to lead his elite troops to the west and lay in ambush in the forest, and the officers and men of the two battalions of Lavrenj and Evgeny also began to prepare.

In the event of a battle in the future, Vasilyev, who was already an officer, was ordered to be in danger, and all the officers and soldiers who remained in the position listened to him, including Doronin's artillery. Yang Mingzhi himself only planned to bring his own and captured RPGs as heavy weapons in order to maximize mobility.

After the tasks were planned, the soldiers were busy for a long time and finally began to eat dry food.

Yang Mingzhi sat in the trench that had just been dug and munched on canned beef, and the two girls were next to her.

The cold breeze can't help but make people reminisce.

"Xiao Tao, we are in such a trench again, and we were like this a few months ago, guarding against the enemy's attack."

Star fruit also fell into memories, the positional battle at that time was really terrifying!

She couldn't help asking, "Brother, is the enemy really coming back to attack?" If they don't attack, or if they don't exist at all, it's the officer who tricked us, and we've gone to great lengths to dig holes, and it's a waste. ”

"The enemy will definitely come back." Yang Mingzhi scratched his face full of stubble, and under the rising moonlight, star fruit saw her husband's extremely confident appearance. "You and Natasha can rest assured that as long as the Germans do exist, we will fight them. I also have to find a way to attract them, let them take the initiative to attack our army's majestic formation, and kill their living force to the greatest extent! ”

"You're always so crazy that you want to swallow a fat man. We're going to wipe out a whole 2,000 people, and I still think it's crazy! Carambola shook her head, in fact, she still believed it in her heart.

In previous battles, the German army was also beaten with mass casualties, and the battle damage ratio was simply incredible, if these were military miracles, it would be better to say that this man was a natural military strategist.

Yang Mingzhi raised his head and looked at the bright moon. "We'll know the results soon, Balzen is searching for the enemy, and we'll be informed as soon as we find out."

At the moment, only the moonlight sprinkled on the earth, it appeared and disappeared in the clouds. Due to Yang Mingzhi's order, not only did the entire camp not have a bonfire, but there were not even smokers. Because he didn't want the troops to reveal their tracks when they weren't ready, what if the Germans were also spying on them? Don't be arrogant enough to think that your enemy is mentally retarded!

On the other hand, is the German army mentally retarded, how can it be? In fact, Hoffman was in a big trouble of gaining and losing, he had already discovered the Soviets, and he couldn't make up his mind whether to attack or what to do.

"The enemy is not the little person in the intelligence at all, and it is impossible for our army to encircle and suppress it this time! The enemy is the elite of the swamp! They are very combat-ready. Hoffman told his staff and officers from the bottom of his heart about his hesitation, and so did the others, even Nicklaus's armored troops were wiped out, and the infantry regiments that had just come out of the haze of defeat and were still not high in combat effectiveness were all heroic.

In the end, Hoffman made three decisions during the night. First, scouts are still being sent to grope in the forest, not only to prevent possible surprise attacks by the enemy, but also to continue to monitor. Secondly, the whole regiment was kept in combat readiness, all fighters had to sleep in their clothes, their rifles were loaded, and the machine gunners took turns resting. Third, send a report to the division headquarters to report your terrible new discoveries!

In this way, there were as many as ten reconnaissance teams in operation, ten of them each, and reconnaissance operations had to be carried out even if it was now night.

The order was absolute, and although it was nerve-wracking to these soldiers, they were not allowed to carry sleeping blankets on their backs and continue to cruise in columns with rifles?

Unlike the Germans, who were becoming more and more languid, Balzen's subordinates wanted nothing but meritorious service. In particular, the two medals received by the company commander, as well as Lyudbalev's previous explanation of how to receive the medal, all stimulated the hearts of every soldier. "If you can win the battle with the company commander and the deputy division commander, it's worth it if you don't sleep for two days." A soldier's remarks resonated with everyone, and even in the dark of night, the fighting spirit of the whole company was extremely high.

Balzen personally led the second platoon, and there was a kilometer of separation between them, in order to comb the area as much as possible. Some people worry that such a formation is still too wide, but Balzen has already guessed Yang Mingzhi's intentions. "If the enemy wants to attack them, they have to assemble, and Hoffman has an infantry regiment, and the camp will be large when they are stationed. They are also likely to start a fire, and at the slightest hint our army can spy on them all. ”

Three platoons headed straight north, each soldier with the eyes of an owl, slowly moving forward looking for any clues.

As it came to nine o'clock in the evening, Balzen's search continued, and three hours had passed without any anomalies, but in fact they were getting closer and closer to the German camp in the forest.

At ten o'clock in the evening, two warriors who were scouting at the vanguard suddenly spotted human activity in the forest, and they were as excited as if they had picked up gold.

"It's great that the enemy is finally showing his feet, Ilyich, let's hurry back and report." One of them immediately took his companion by the way, and quietly returned to Balzen, informing them of what they had seen.

Balzen, who had always been vigilant, actually breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to the left and right: "Sure enough, everything is in the hands of the deputy division commander, and the helmets of those Germans are very obvious, they are not only here but also exposed." Comrades, let's go kill them! ”

The warriors understood, and they drew their daggers and spears one after another.

Ten enemies were discovered, and no guns were needed to deal with them. The scouts were dressed in white robes, and when they lay on the ground, they instantly melted into the snow and ice, and under the frosty moonlight, they were just snowdrifts!

Balzen set out with fifteen men, more than enough to deal with ten.

So just as the German search team was on its way, the "snowdrifts" that had not received special attention suddenly came to life. They are enemies! The sudden blow left the Germans unprepared, they had heavy bags and rifles on their backs. The guys who suddenly burst out of nowhere used daggers and sapper shovels to settle the battle, and all the dead suffered fatal wounds to the neck and heart.

The silent battle ended in ten seconds, and Balzen ordered his men: "Drag away the corpses of the enemy and cover them with snow as much as possible." Search their pockets and see what's there! (To be continued.) )
