"How's it going?"

"Everything works! Commander! The enemy is completely unaware of our existence! ”

Yang Mingzhi glanced at Balzen with a slight suspicion, the troops had already turned, and the battle was coming. He decisively picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the enemy's searchlights.

"It's funny, it seems that the enemy also built a power station here? They have five towers, each with two lights at the top! ”

"Yes! Look at the wooden buildings, some of them are still shiny! That's the enemy's electric light! If you calm down, you can even hear the low roar of the generator! ”

As he spoke, Balzen stretched out his right hand and pointed at the moonlit building.

Yang Mingzhi took a closer look, and the light was much stronger than that of a kerosene lamp, especially a small two-story building that looked like a brick and wood structure, where the light was the most dazzling. There, most likely, it was the German command center stationed here!

There were still ten minutes to zero o'clock, and the fighters, who had been running wild for more than two hours, finally got a respite. There were still two hours left before the planned time for the attack, everyone hurried to eat something, drink another saliva, and all that was left was to rest.

The German searchlights flickered aimlessly, sometimes into the distant forests, and more often in the camp, especially at the outermost barbed wire walls.

After Yang Mingzhi took a breather, he didn't have time to continue to observe for the time being, and he summoned the three battalion commanders under his command to one place.

In this way, four large men lay on the grass under the forest in a very funny way to besiege the city, and a military coat was draped over the head of the person who said that there were people.

Because a little abnormal flash of light may attract the attention of the enemy, and then startle the snake! It is like a night reconnaissance plane patrolling an enemy position, and the faint light of someone smoking on the ground can be detected and then shelled.

The coat is very thick and warm, it locks in the warmth and the light. The commander of the paratrooper battalion, Rechev, fiddled with a small flashlight to illuminate Balzen's reconnaissance map.

This drawing has been significantly revised compared to when it was set off. With two hours to go before the attack, Balzen systematically began to explain the situation of his reconnaissance for several hours.

In this way, he explained how many points of fire the enemy exposed, the possible strength of the enemy, and the functions of each building.

Yang Mingzhi was a little surprised, judging from the reconnaissance situation alone, there were obviously not many prisoners of war here, and it seemed that there were only two or three thousand people, especially a train that came after nightfall, and many people were taken away.

"Sure enough! This is a personnel transfer station! We don't think we'll be able to save many prisoners of war. ”

Yang Mingzhi was a little regretful, and Balzen comforted: "It's enough to save a few hundred people, isn't the most important thing for us to cut off this railway line?" Moreover, we may be able to save some civilians, especially Jews. ”

"This one too! I think you've got a belly full of gas! Recalling the incident a few hours ago, Yang Mingzhi had palpitations.

"I'm furious!" Balzen's brow furrowed, his teeth bared as if he were about to eat someone. "Those people have already been killed by the Germans! It's going to be time for us to retaliate, and I can't wait to kill those guys now! ”

"Excellent! All I want is your hatred! "Let's go, Yang Mingzhi will take a look at the other two paratrooper battalion commanders." Rychev, Bondanov, you all get it! This is the first time that the paratrooper comrades have fought the enemy at close range, and I have only two requests for you. First, it is not merciful to kill all the enemies. Second, find all the survivors.

We fought a quick battle and brought the survivors back to the forest immediately. After that, we will completely destroy this Leopovka! ”

……

There was just over an hour left before the battle, and as the battle approached, all the fighters were in extreme euphoria.

Yang Mingzhi explained the specific direction of attack at this time:

"Rychev, your battalion storms the prisoner of war camp, kills all the resistance, and takes all the Red Army prisoners away!

Bondaev, your battalion attacked the railway and surrounding buildings, killed all who resisted and set fire. If a train passes by during an attack, destroy it immediately.

Balzen, your battalion and I will personally attack the murderous factory on the other side of the railroad, and then do as I order. ”

In this way, the three battalions began very different deployments.

The two paratrooper battalions continued in about the same direction, so they were together for a while, and when the battle began, the direction of the main attack changed.

Yang Mingzhi led the reconnaissance battalion on a detour after arranging the order, and in order to avoid being exposed, the 700 men ran west for nearly two kilometers, and after a little reconnaissance, there was no enemy in the face, and they began to infiltrate through the railway.

Yang Mingzhi was not at all surprised by the behavior of the Germans pulling barbed wire on both sides of the railway. The vices cut all the wires, creating several gaps in one go, and the reconnaissance battalion passed through the railroad from here without even a single canning box ringing.

In this situation, Balzen could not help but ridicule: "What the enemy is doing is really inexplicable, the peasants can scare the birds by putting scarecrows in the fields, but we are not idiots!" Can barbed wire and bells scare us? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, order your men to pass cautiously!" Yang Mingzhi urged: "We are not birds! We're all six-whiskered catfish! Tomorrow morning, when the smoke of Leopovka obscures the sky, the Germans will finally find that someone has torn up their fishing nets and launched an attack from two directions. ”

Balzen smiled, the metaphor of the commander is really apt, otherwise he would not have codenamed the operational command with a catfish.

Seven hundred men penetrated into the other side of the plain in a roundabout way, a distance of six kilometers, and because of the desire for revenge, all of them were extremely excited, and they did not care about fatigue and fatigue.

After settling down, and the whole battalion was ambushed in the forest again, communication began again.

In this way, Yang Mingzhi and the paratroopers always maintained a radio communication link, always remained vigilant, and waited for the arrival of two o'clock in the morning.

After nightfall, the two-way train track, which was supposed to be very busy, became deserted, and at about eleven o'clock the last train arrived, which stopped for more than ten minutes and then whistled by with smoke and whistling. The train was supposed to pass once in forty or fifty minutes, and it had been two hours, and there was nothing new, only moonlight shining on the tracks, two gorgeous shining silver lines.

What Yang Mingzhi didn't know was that because the Germans were also very worried that the guerrillas would carry out attacks in the middle of the night, most of the railway lines were suspended in the early hours of the morning.

Such a move by the Germans also did provide favorable conditions for the Soviet army to attack Leopovka, and two trains were parked in Mozyri, which was full of military rations that were being transported to the front line in Ukraine. Interrupted by a severe attack on the Moziri-Cherobi railway section, they had to take a detour! Moreover, this attack was also a slap in the face to the local German army, and no one dared to risk it too late!

From the junior soldiers, to the senior commander of the German 734th Division, the pseudo-mayor of Moziri, they have experienced a very bad day, and now they are all falling asleep.

Perhaps they are having a sweet dream, a dream of purging the guerrillas in the defense area, and the real nightmare will strike immediately, a slap in the face that is even more ferocious than the events of the day!
