After giving the order, Herzman took the plunge and ordered to call the friendly 722nd Division. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for the battle on 30 March, although the 722nd Division did not intervene militarily, it has been observing it to this day, after all, the huge group of Soviet planes passed through their defense area early in the morning. In particular, a bomber that was hit tossed and fell into the defense area of the 722nd Division, and the division commander Florid, at that time, quickly sent people to investigate, but unfortunately in addition to finding a large number of charred wreckage, there was nothing valuable at all.

As for the battle between the Soviet and German armies, the rumbling of gunfire has already exposed everything. The Army Group was aware of this and immediately ordered all German troops in the line to rearm for battle.

However, the Soviet army did not besiege Florid's direction, so the division commander burned high incense. Even so, he ordered the troops to keep a close eye on the situation. Therefore, he did not find it strange that the 707th Division had called.

When the two division commanders were on the phone, Herzman unabashedly explained what happened to him today.

He said it so unreservedly, Flored knew that fighting those Soviet troops would have to suffer, but the war situation was too exaggerated!

Flored asked aloud: "Could it be that one of your divisions has lost the combat capability of one main regiment after only one day of fighting?" How many enemies do you say?! Just a thousand people! How true is this? ”

"All this is true, my troops worked hard and hard to finally crush the remaining Soviets in the forest. They still have hundreds, and now they are surrounded by me. ”

Hearing this, Florid's thought and asked, "Then why are you telling me all this now?" Just tell me about this? If you can surround them, you can encircle them! ”

"I can't gnaw at all!" Hertzman's tone was full of grievances, so that Flored instantly understood the meaning.

He hesitated for a moment, and the past two months ago came to mind like a slideshow.

The hostile Soviets were the ones who had always held the title of Guards, albeit a group of remnants who had survived the death, and had apparently regained their strength in the mud of the swamps. Truth be told, Florid's felt that such a combat-ready unit should not have been here, and that their Soviet authorities should have long ago figured out a way to withdraw it to the rear so that they could fight on the frontal battlefield.

The Soviets remained in the swamps, and the meaning of their existence became more and more subtle.

Florid, with a long sigh, stated, "Say, my friend, what are you calling now?" I see that you have a request, should it be for me to send troops to help you? ”

"That's right, it's to send troops to wish me! Now I can't tell enough fighting troops! You are the nearest unit, and now is the right time to strike. Herzman said bluntly.

"But ......"

"What are you waiting for? Are you cowardly? ”

Florid's little ninety-nine is indeed like this, although he doesn't want to say the word cowardice, in fact, he still has to consider his own gains and losses. Therefore, this man decisively fought with the friendly army: "Herzman, you must consider the current situation of our troops, our army suffered very heavy losses in the last battle!" The main force of the 715th Division has been exhausted, and my division has lost half of its main force. As for the new troops, they are all groups of new recruits, and it will take time for them to become familiar with the battlefield. You just want me to send such troops into battle? ”

"What? Don't you have faith in your men? ”

Florid, who would never admit this, said, "Your Excellency, think about me and my officers and soldiers. Do you know what they went through? A reinforced regiment of 3,000 men had been wiped out in just one morning, and my men were now very afraid of the Soviet troops. ”

Herzmann didn't know much about that annihilation, in short, the German losses in the war two months earlier were too great. This scandal was covered up on all sides, and only some of the officers knew about it, while the German garrisons in the area only knew in general terms that they had suffered huge losses.

Herzman was utterly dismissive of these explanations, and once again pleaded: "Your Excellency, I estimate the enemy's strength to be only seven hundred to eight hundred, and they are now trapped in their positions, and according to the front reports that their heavy weapons are minimal. Although these people's combat effectiveness is very strong, after all, they have been fighting since the early hours of the morning, and their bodies are only afraid that they have been overdrawn. Besides, the face of our Third Reich servicemen, I want to redeem it, don't you want to? ”

"You're still beating around the bush and calling me a coward!" Florid's anger and roared angrily, "I'll send troops!" This is the army! Are you satisfied? ”

Florid's nervous heart eased, and he knew that this fellow would not break his word, so he continued: "Since you are willing to send troops, it is better not to send only symbolic troops. ”

"Two battalions are always fine! It looks like I can't do anything, and if I send too many troops, I won't be able to maintain my position. After all, the task given to us by the superiors is to hold the position, and if you send people out to fight like this, you are indeed suspected of disobeying the order. ”

"The war has begun, and the war is not at all something you can stop if I want. So when you and I report, we say that the Soviet army is attacking our army and our army is counterattacking. Besides, if we completely annihilate the 284th Guards Division, we should be greatly rewarded for the suspicion of disobedience. ”

Hearing him say this, Florid was indeed moved. In this operation, simply put, the 707th Division paid a huge sacrifice, which caused the elite troops of the Soviet Army to suffer heavy losses, and if they took the opportunity to attack it in groups, it was not impossible to completely annihilate it, after all, the bullets fired were all the same lethality!

Herzman even said: "In this battle, you'd better send troops now, and continue to maintain an encirclement posture after making peace with our army." In this battle, we must give full play to the superiority of our army, and the field artillery has already been pushed out of the position, and the artillery will bombard the Soviet positions intensively in the early morning of tomorrow, and when the artillery is ready, we will attack them in groups. ”

Sounds like a great way to annihilate your enemies with ease!

"Then do it! I'm going to send troops out now, and I beg you to tell me the exact coordinates of your troops at once!" ”

……

In this way, Balzen took the initiative, and within twelve hours of the incident, the situation of the battle changed again and again, and now the 722nd Division was also mobilized.

Although the 722nd Division has not yet come out of the shadow of the previous huge losses, the officers and staff officers are arguing endlessly about whether the 707th Division is a pig teammate. But it seems that the opportunity to annihilate the enemy and thus take revenge is in front of them, the 707th and 722nd divisions have a great vendetta against the 284th Guards Division of the Soviet Army, and after learning of the promises of the friendly forces, the people who were originally wavering in their will have now become the main battle faction.

The 722nd Division was greeted with cheers of "siegheil" as if victory had already been achieved, and two infantry battalions were to go to the battlefield with an Eastern battalion of Estonian volunteers.
