The vast array of warriors were all hidden in the woods, each wearing a white battle cloak, holding on, waiting for the order to attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The "grooms" were well versed in horsemanship, and a large number of horses lay dormant like the soldiers, who would remain dormant until the end of the operation. The current situation in the city is still unclear, and it is still unknown whether the battle will take place outside the city, or whether the whole army will directly enter the city.

But when Balzen saw Homnich from afar through his telescope, a simple conclusion came to his mind - the allies had been wiped out.

In order to confirm this speculation, the reconnaissance unit had to advance.

The reconnaissance operation was led by Balzen himself, and a small meeting was held before the operation.

"Comrades, you are all veterans who have followed me, and each of you has eagle-like eyes. This operation will determine our next steps, and you must keep your eyes open to the targets of any activity, whether it is friend or foe, and we must determine what is really going on in Homnic. ”

The fighters were silent. With that, Yevlov looked at Natasha again. "My dear, the chief commands you to obey my orders in everything."

"Yes!"

"Very well, you are the best sniper in the whole division. So I can think that your eyes are also the sharpest of those of us. Today, you are acting with us as a scout, pay attention to the ruins of that city, and notify me immediately if you find anything abnormal! ”

"Yes! Sir! The girl gave the standard military salute.

Here, only Balzen carries a submachine gun, and the others, except Natasha, are all sniper types armed with Mosin Nagant.

Natasha's own weapon, this modified version of the SVT40, is immediately fitted with all the ideas, making it very chic.

"It's a really good gun, and it's definitely better than ours in terms of firepower and accuracy. I envy you! A soldier next to the girl said.

This is certainly a good gun, and it also proves the love that the chief has for himself. Natasha's heart is beautiful, her own talent is the guarantee of her performance, and good weapons are the same.

Balzen heard the exchange and coughed solemnly.

After everyone had advanced some distance, Balzen immediately half-knelt down and raised his right fist. "Everyone is now vigilant, all scattered, hunched forward. Everything depends on my gesture actions. ”

I saw that everyone who was still queuing up just now immediately changed into a skirmishing line, which made Natasha a little helpless.

"Sir! What am I going to do? And your gestures, I don't understand. ”

"Why don't you just follow me!" Balzen Road.

This guy also learned some miscellaneous things from Yang Mingzhi.

In that plane, Yang Mingzhi has watched a lot of police movies and war movies, and he has also been a soldier. Later armies had complex gesture systems, and sometimes even evolved into a kind of "military sign language". Yang Mingzhi taught Balzen a part, and he immediately trained his own people in a similar way, so that some simple command gestures were clear to everyone.

In this way, Natasha followed behind Balzen's ass and didn't have to worry about more.

"Your eyesight is better than mine, and we're all heading towards Homnich now, and soon we'll be on our knees. After that, you have to work hard to observe! Balzen said.

There is also a sense of trustworthiness in this old man, Natasha hopes that this person next to him is the deputy division commander, but unfortunately it is his own hairy compatriot with a stubble face.

After a dozen people had traveled seven or eight hundred meters, Balzen made a gesture, and after all of them lay down, Natasha immediately pulled the bipod of the sniper rifle. She was lying on her stomach, her gun pointed straight at the ruins, and she looked like she was about to pull the trigger at any moment.

"You look so pretty! And very professional, no wonder we are the best snipers. Balzen laughed.

"I appreciate the sir's praise. The snipers are both two-hearted, and this time I did go alone. So if you don't dislike it, sir, act as my observer. ”

Balzen smiled, this little girl is very polite, she is a person who is loved by the chief, it seems that she has been trained very well in the past six months.

"Yes, I, as an officer, will be your observer." With that, Balzen raised his binoculars and stared at the ruins not far away.

At this point, Homnich's clues are fully visible, and if you act in one word, it is "miserable".

"It is worthy of a city that has experienced war, the last time Roshakov and the Germans were in battle, after the enemy shelled, the city became like this? Or is it that the militia has already demolished the city without two floors?! ”

Balzen's self-talk, Natasha listened to it. She only believed what she saw with her eyes, so the guesses of the chiefs around her were pure guesses.

Unlike Balzen's vigilance, the German army in Khomnichny was not only focused on the perimeter.

In this battle, Holstauffen's battalion lost 100 men, and they hastily withdrew from the city, leaving all the corpses behind. After the Stuka dive bombardment, the bodies of the dead soldiers were also shattered by the bombs.

This was a great blow to the morale of the soldiers, the corpses were gone, the dog tags were gone, and the end of those hundred people was really tragic.

The first time it participated in a siege, this battalion suffered such losses. When they re-entered the city, nothing was found in the bodies of their comrades, not even those of the enemy. Others, a huge bunch of craters, and indescribable charred objects.

"All of you immediately step up the fortifications of the city, dig foxholes, and beware of a possible enemy counterattack at any time," Holstauffen ordered. ”

The soldiers complied with the order and dug a pit at the edge of the ruins of the city and numbly set up machine-gun emplacements. Similarly, inside the ruins of the city, military barracks were erected and signal towers were erected. Holstaufen sent a report to his divisional headquarters claiming that with the help of the air force, the troops had completed the capture of Homnitsch, that the enemy had been completely blown to powder, and that all two-story buildings in the city had disappeared.

And he got a new order. "According to what happened to the 715th Division, the Soviets will definitely come back. I changed my plan, you are used as bait to attract the enemy, and we will cooperate with the air force to wipe them out. Division Commander Florid ordered.

This order, Holstauffen was very displeased, but what could be done. He did not tell the warriors that his own situation was actually very dangerous. Because once you tell them that you will be bait, your morale will inevitably plummet again.

Perhaps because of the cold, the Germans' work of digging foxholes became more and more difficult. Because the ground was frozen, their sappers were struggling to dig the ground, and some people brought drills and rubble from the ruins to reinforce the position.

The north wind blew frequently, the light snow gradually stopped, and the visibility became better and better.

Natasha stared at the sniper scope, the focus already on the maximum. The quiet waiting, combined with the bitter cold, made it all drowsy.

Finally, the wait has come to fruition. In the girl's sniper scope, strange figures appeared.

"Hey! Hey! Sir, cheer up. The girl slapped Balzen a few times.

"What's the matter, the enemy was discovered??" Balzen immediately perked up.

"Yes. It was the helmet of the Germans. They look too much like the Germans. ”

Natasha has good eyesight and a sniper scope with a high magnification. Balzen became vigilant, and he did see some swaying figures in the direction Natasha pointed at first, but he was not sure whether they were friend or foe. After observing for a while, he made his own judgment.

"Now it's clear that it's a damn German. Everything is certain, our militia was wiped out, and the city was occupied by the Germans! Balzen let out a long sigh and lowered his head.

"Sir, what now. To be honest, at such a distance, if I pushed forward another 300 meters, I would be able to perform a precise sniper. ”

Balzen shook his head, "Natasha, you can indeed take out a few Nazis, that's what you're here for." But that will frighten them, look at their lazy appearance, and the city defense is also coping with it. Apparently they don't understand yet, we've approached them and waited for an opportunity to snatch the dog tag from their necks. ”

"So we're going to have to go back and wait for an all-out attack?"

"That's right." Balzen smiled, "Natasha, you're smart. You've already thought of it, let's still follow the glorious tradition of the 284th Division, use a sneak attack at night, and kill them in one go! Besides, we had to go back and report to the divisional headquarters. ”

Under Balzen's orders, all the snipers retreated together. Their snow camouflage made it impossible to see the anomalies on the southern outskirts of the city from a distance, and the Germans did not find anything unusual.

Balzen returned to the woods and immediately ordered: "The whole army is mentally ready, now all rest, hurry up and eat, then set up a tent and go to bed immediately." We will attack Homnich at 0:00 a.m. ”

This is the preparation for a night battle, and the vast number of soldiers hurry up and prepare.

The first night attack, Anatoly and his men were surprised, because they had never seen this method of warfare before. Of course, Balzen also thought of it, so he simply stood in front of these soldiers and continued to order: "You must start a new tactic as soon as possible, this is the secret of our 284th Division's constant victory." We attack when the enemy is at their sleepest, so we have to recharge our batteries in advance. ”

The order has been delivered, and it is still unknown how these men will behave in the night battle.

Balzen had more important things to do, and he ordered the radioman to immediately send a telegram to the division headquarters to truthfully report everything about Homnitsch.

The bad information quickly spread to the division headquarters, and now, Yang Mingzhi understood the situation over there.

"The Germans have completed the annihilation of our militia, the city has been captured, and we have paid the price of two hundred!" Yang Mingzhi asked Yevlov's opinion, "How about it, are we going to take revenge on this group of damned enemies?" ”

"Revenge! Revenge must be taken. Yevlov didn't even think about it, and said confidently.

The same is true of Yerenkina, who pays more attention to the morale of the troops. "Our army suffered a lot of losses, and the Germans had to pay the price."

Originally, Yang Mingzhi also wanted to explain to them a series of risks after the attack, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he still forgets it. If this is a conspiracy of the Germans, let their attack come more violently. Yang Mingzhi really knows the history, and the enemy's sweep of the Pripet swamp is inevitable. If the sweep were to take place now, it would only be a year earlier than their actions in history.

Since you can't avoid the danger, take it in stride. Yang Mingzhi is now very confident, after several battles, those German security divisions are really a group of local chickens and dogs. That is, the German 722 Division in front of them, since their combat effectiveness is strong, they cannot be let go.

After the three of them agreed on their intentions, they immediately sent a report to Balzen, completely agreeing with his plan of night attack. (To be continued.) )
