A reconnaissance plane flew over the city of Chenobi, and its appearance was so unexpected that the German defenders of the city did not hesitate to open fire on it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Paul, a German pilot who experienced air battles, could no longer withstand such a blow, and for a time thought that the city was also controlled by the Soviets.

The Germans on the ground fired at it, and the slow-moving reconnaissance plane was hit, and black smoke rose from its wings.

Paul had no choice, he chose to parachute to survive.

An umbrella cover appeared in the sky, and at this point the ground fire also stopped, and the defenders of the Cherobie German army wanted to catch it alive. At this moment, Paul thought that there were Soviets on the ground, and the Germans thought that he was the Soviets, and this misunderstood attack did not end until Paul was discovered.

Several German search teams were immediately ordered to search the forest under the umbrella cover and capture the "Soviet pilot". They were so sure that this guy was the enemy, and it wasn't because of the previous series of explosions in the Chenobi, the collapse of the railway bridge, and the burning of the train station that had made people nervous all the time. A few months passed, and the bridge continued to collapse, and only the train station was rebuilt and still in use.

The swamps in the north were the presence of Soviet troops, and the defenders of Cherobi did not dare to be sloppy at all.

It didn't take much time for the search team to find its target. I saw this unfortunate bastard, with his umbrella hanging on a tall pine branch, and himself like a salted fish hanging on it, and when he saw someone coming, his mouth was immediately full of words begging for mercy.

These words are all in German, and the heavily armed German soldiers are really shocked, and then look at this person's outfit, it is simply his own people.

"This one is German. My God, we made a stupid mistake and almost hit our own people! Fast! Untie him! The German soldiers immediately took the dazed Paul and quickly brought him back to the city.

It was only a few hours after he was rescued that Paul's consciousness came back to his senses. At this moment, he was lying in the hospital in the city, and some officers were standing in front of the bed.

Paul was relieved, he almost lost his life, and now he has picked up a life.

Compared with him, the Germans of Cherobi especially wanted to know what mission the plane that suddenly flew out of the partisan activity area was performing.

Bergman, the commander of the Cherobi occupation forces, asked impatiently: "Soldier, what exactly are you doing?" Why did you fly over the swamp? Where did you fly from? ”

In this way, Paul also informed himself of his mission without reservation, and asked nervously, "Where is my map book?" I have to have that! The enemy's location has been marked, and I'm going back to my life. ”

The officers learned that friendly forces north of the swamp were in the air to spy out the guerrillas. Three of the four reconnaissance planes were shot down, and even worse were shot down by the Soviet Air Force.

Commander Bergman, he was transferred here two months ago. He had an infantry regiment under his command, which was a second-line unit, and its main task was to hold on to it and assist in the deployment of supplies.

The Soviets attacked the city last year, and those who survived still have lingering fears. After the city's fires were extinguished, many facilities were rebuilt, new warehouses were erected, and the latest locomotives were brought from Central Europe. The Cherobie strategy is still strong, even though the railroad bridge has collapsed. He will still be able to serve as a distribution center for supplies, relieving Kyiv of the pressure on transportation.

In order to avoid a repeat of the disaster, some German volunteers went from home to the front in Eastern Europe, and they became logisticians. Such men dragged their families with more than 3,000 strong laborers, all of whom had undergone simple military training and filled Bergman's command. The total population of these Germans and their families was almost 10,000, and with some Ukrainian collaborators who emigrated from Kiev, the population of Cherobi recovered to 20,000.

For several months, the Soviets in the northern marshes did not go south again. A long peace would be paralyzing, and this time friendly reconnaissance planes provided important information that really made the situation tense again.

On the Ukrainian side, this is the responsibility of the German Army Group South, which is divided by the Pripet marshes from friendly forces in the north. On the political and military side, the German army in the south was not responsible for the north. Even if such a friendly scout is discovered, he must first interrogate himself immediately, then inform his superiors of the information, and then release the person back after obtaining permission.

Such a new deal arrangement is completely reasonable, but it has undoubtedly delayed some timing.

Paul underwent a systematic examination and was determined to have only soft tissue abrasions.

After obtaining the first-hand interrogation materials, Bergman immediately called a meeting. He was more nervous than the other officers, because the enemies of the northern swamps, the so-called "swamp guerrilla brigades", were so strong in combat that they could not be called a rabble.

The interrogation materials were copied in many copies, one for each of his principal officers and the city's Nazi Party civil affairs officers.

Bergman frowned, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the office. And said: "You've all seen the material, we almost killed our friend. Now, this reconnaissance material shows that the Soviets have built an airfield not far north of us, and that there are also combat aircraft. Pilot Paul's wingman was shot down, and now we must believe that those guerrillas not only did not suffer from the bitter cold of winter, but on the contrary, their combat capabilities were still terrifying. ”

Bergman continued to talk, and the more he talked, the more worried they became about their own safety.

One of his battalion commanders stood up and asked: "Sir, we are the gateway to Kyiv, and if the enemy attacks, we will bear the brunt." Marsh guerrilla brigade, I'm afraid this is not their real name. They must be exactly formed, that's a group of regular troops! ”

"You're right." Bergman waved his hand to sit him down and continued, "That little town of Homnage in the north is as big as the city we are stationing in. The battle around that city has been fought four times, and we have paid a huge price and have not completed the task of destroying the main force of the guerrillas. So, Fredeman, you have a point. If the enemy chooses to go south, we will be attacked here! The tragedy must not be allowed to repeat! ”

At this point, Bergman immediately ordered everyone to stand and give his own orders.

Paul never expected his arrival to look like a warning signal to the friendly forces in the south. Bergman knew about his reconnaissance, so he immediately ordered the city to be strengthened, and the tension of the war quietly set in.

But Paul, he just wanted to get back to the north of the swamp as soon as possible, to Rechitsa or Gomel, and report to his superiors. Unfortunately, this idea was difficult to realize.

First of all, he was a wounded soldier, and although the soft tissue was contusion, it was enough for him to walk on crutches. It is impossible for the front-line hospitals to let it go.

Secondly, after Bergman obtained the reconnaissance information, he immediately became a celebrity and rushed to Kyiv to deliver a letter, and before the letter arrived, he had already corresponded with Kiev.

"It's just an armed bandit, and if the army is going to carry out a larger operation, your mission is to hold on to Cherobie." This was an order from Army Group South, which was actually an order from von Bock.

Reichenau had already died of illness from exhaustion in January, and von Bock took over his duties. Immediately after taking office, he took measures to find ways to organize a winter counteroffensive launched by the Soviet troops on the Southern Front.

At this moment, the remnants of the Soviets in the Pripet swamp are a cancer that will have to be eliminated sooner or later. But the treacherous swamp was enough to make the clearing troops suffer. The combat effectiveness of the rear troops is not strong, and the front-line troops cannot shout.

As the commander of an army group, the information he got was also reported layer by layer. Arrogant and not deceived, he refused to send a single soldier to the defense line north of Kiev.

By the time the order came back to Chenobi, it was already two days later. For the past two days, Bergman only managed to inform Paul's superiors, the army group stationed on the front line in Moziri, and quietly waited for orders.

Now that the order has come and Paul is to be sent back, Bergman can only silently strengthen his own defenses.

Two days, the Germans were undoubtedly delayed. Yang Mingzhi, who is extremely vigilant, tried his best to mobilize everyone's vigilance.

On the Lechtsa side, the 715th Division thought that this reconnaissance operation had failed again, but unexpectedly, the last pilot flew to the south of the swamp. With the bulletin from the commander of the group army, Scholz basically learned the ins and outs of the reconnaissance plane after it took off, and also knew the Soviet airfield in the swamp and the order of the command to give permission for air raids.

In the division headquarters, Scholz breathed a long sigh of relief: "Now, we can finally carry out precision strikes on the enemy. ”

Swagger had always been reluctant to take air raids, but the land offensive had all failed, unless a large corps was encircled. Using air strikes as the main means of attack is also helpless. "Let's hope so, hopefully future air strikes will cripple them."

"But it will take a few days for the air strikes to be carried out." Schultz shook his head, "What I'm most afraid of is a missed opportunity, after all, those Soviets are not stupid." ”

Scholz and Swag, both of whom carried out the order given to them by the army group, that is, to strengthen the defense.

On the other hand, the exact reconnaissance information could not be transmitted to the group army headquarters on the Mozyli side until a little later, and the air raid had to be postponed, giving Yang Mingzhi more time to prepare. (To be continued.) )
