Chapter 349: Preparation of both sides
Star fruit is a somewhat superstitious person, and Natasha's task this time is very difficult, and the danger is self-evident. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info said goodbye at the end, and star fruit learned that her husband had given her a pistol to serve as a talisman.
In this case, star fruit also made some indications.
She took off her watch and handed it to Natasha. "It's amazing, it's not afraid of water at all," he says. My husband asked me to keep it, and I think it must have special powers to keep the user safe and sound. ”
Natasha accepted the favor and swapped watches with star fruit. Now, she carries Yang Mingzhi's waterproof mechanical watch from the next century on her wrist.
The strap is a metal chain, the body is also very well made, and the north side of the watch is engraved with Constantin. Neither girl understands that this is a product that is enough to subvert the watchmaking craft of this era. Star fruit has limited knowledge and only knows that this watch is particularly useful.
And Natasha was even more relieved in her heart, she was rescued by the chief and was completely in abject poverty. Now, he wears the surplus underwear of star fruit, a pistol pinned to his waist, and a wristwatch worn by the chief.
This love, if it is said to be relatives, then the chief and Natasha are no different from relatives.
Accepting these valuable gifts and saying goodbye to her brother and sister, Natasha also embarked on her journey.
At half past eight o'clock, Balzen's troops were assembled, their heavy weapons were all on, and under the orders of Yevlov, one hundred and thirty-five men set out.
The crew soon arrived at the village of Black Earth in a horse-drawn sleigh, where each person was given a bag of provisions—beef jerky, lamb jerky, yogurt cubes, and fatty cured meat.
With this very greasy food, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, at least this long march and battle, and did not have to worry about food.
But after the Black Earth Village, you can only walk!
Soldiers, basically an infantry squad has two sleds pulled by two people. It's small enough to fit most of the baggage. Natasha was no exception, she was placed under the direct management of Balzen and was incorporated into the company. The girl didn't have to worry at all, her heavy belongings were contracted by the warriors.
On the march, Balzen gave her only a simple but difficult task: "You have the absolute advantage of farsightedness, like an eagle." Be vigilant and watch around our marching procession for any suspicious circumstances. ”
Of course, it must be too difficult to get a girl to do the task as a tactical warning!
Balzen ordered three squads to clear the way ahead, and they were responsible for guarding the front and flanks of the ranks.
The team of more than a hundred people, all of them wearing white combat cloaks, was high in the air and difficult for even German reconnaissance aircraft to detect.
Now speaking of the reconnaissance plane, the German pilot Paul, who evaded Podovich's pursuit but was shot down by the German defenders of Cheroby, finally got the order to return after he had reported what had happened.
Paul will take the train north to Moziri. The city was the superior of the 715th Division, the southern occupation forces of Belarus, the headquarters of this army group.
It was arranged that when Paul returned here, he would report what had happened to him again and then return to the place where he had taken off.
The trains of this era were all slow, and the Germans had to take into account the other partisan squads operating around the railway. Almost as expected, several partisan detachments operating around Mozili could hardly fight hard against the German patrols, but it was no problem to blow up the railway.
Paul returns with a freight train, but an attack on the railroad has occurred! Two sections of track were blown up, and the train would be trapped for twelve hours! That is, the Germans repaired the railway and installed new tracks, which was enough to consume half a day.
So Paul, who had many twists and turns, could only lie in the thatched freight iron wagon, chatting with the German soldiers escorting this batch of military rations, until the railroad was repaired.
At the same time, the Germans were completely unaware that the Soviets in the swamp were also on the move.
The actions of the Germans were simply a kind of conspiracy, and they had absolute military superiority in the open. The reconnaissance plane found the target, and the next step was a retaliatory air strike. To this end, at the airfield on the north side of the road, Air Force Captain Koch has recently received an order to go into battle at any time.
The perimeter of the airfield was fortified and the pilots were put into combat readiness. So much so that their lives and routines were strictly regulated, and they were not allowed to drink any more alcohol, and their entertainment almost ceased, let alone go on vacation in the city of Moziri.
The pilots were given the order to prepare for the attack on the "bandits' lair".
That's what the order is, and Koch doesn't care if the ammunition is sufficient. He knew very well that at present, the ammunition depot at the airport contained a small number of aerial bombs, that is, all combat planes carried out two sorties of bombing each. He knew very well that during the last bombing operation of Homnich, the pilots saw large areas of forest in Belarus.
There are guerrillas hiding in the forest, and everyone is not very optimistic about the new attack. After all, if the bomb is dropped, God knows whether it will blow up the mud pond under the tree or the building, and it is impossible to assess the results achieved.
Koch finally ordered everyone: "We have received information from the survivors of the reconnaissance plane, the location of the Soviets' airfield has been revealed, and when the pilot himself returns to Mozili, we will immediately get the exact coordinates of the airfield, and then it will be the moment of our attack." ”
In this way, the confusion of the pilots gradually subsided. With accurate targets, the attack is not meaningless. After the enemy's airfield was abolished, the air supply routes of this group of guerrillas were cut off.
Enemy planes cannot land, and as soon as the Soviet transport planes arrive, our fighters can rise into the air to intercept them. This highly combat-ready partisan detachment hidden in the southern marshes, they are likely to be trapped to death.
Of course, these were just the wishful thinking of ordinary German pilots, as well as the subjective conjectures of some German officers.
Balzen's elite troops are advancing non-stop towards the predetermined target on the map.
Because the warriors carried a lot of high-calorie food, marching in cold climates, the physical consumption was completely coping. Moreover, this army was known for its speed in marching on foot, and by nightfall they had already left the village of Heitu thirty kilometers away.
Balzen ordered a camp in a wooded area, and in order to avoid any trouble, there were only three bonfires in the company.
It's a pleasure to have a hot meal under the snow and ice. Natasha bakes her lunch box, and the salty porridge in it is ready to drink.
The scene made her think about it all back to the battle to harass Homnitch, and that was two months ago.
In just two months, the situation of the war has changed a lot, from the northernmost black soil village to the road, these 80 kilometers have completely become a no-man's land.
Above the wilderness there is only a large forest, and perhaps gray wolves and brown bears?
Natasha had no fear, and she swabbed her weapons around the campfire and returned to the tent that the warriors had set up for her. "Tonight, I'm going to sleep wrapped in a blanket!" The girl smiled, lay down on the flat blanket, wrapped herself in meat dumplings, tired all day, and soon fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
