After the shelling, Alexander shook off the soil and got up from the cellar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Quick! Everyone, collect the corpses of the enemy at once and take everything you can to use! ”

At the order, the militia immediately began to collect loot, weapons and ammunition to continue firing, which was the most important thing. In this urban ambush battle, the Soviets also consumed a lot of ammunition, and now they will be supplied from the dead bodies of the enemy.

But the enemy's offensive could not be abruptly stopped.

Alexander immediately ordered the radioman to send a message in the direction of the swamp.

The electronic signal was immediately transmitted to the blacksmith village, where Yevlov, Yang Mingzhi and others stayed at the division headquarters, waiting for the latest results ahead. They did not sit still, the order to come to the aid of Homnich had already been given, and the militia here immediately began to prepare the villages of Black Earth and the village of blacksmiths, two collective farms closer to Homnich.

Because it seems that it is too late to mobilize the regular army stationed in Catfish Village. In desperation, Yang Mingzhi proposed a bold solution. "Let the fighters who had been taken prisoner before quickly arm themselves and cooperate with Balzen's troops to quickly reinforce Homnich."

This immediately aroused Yerenkina's doubts. "There really is no problem with those people, and I'm worried about their fighting power. Moreover, their officers and commissars were not in place. ”

"It's too late." Yang Mingzhi slapped the table and became emotional, "If there is a lack of officers, those who help in the arsenal are equivalent to a battalion, and I temporarily appointed their leader, a platoon commander named Anatoly." Now is the time for him and his people to make a meritorious deed! ”

Yerentina also knew that the warplanes were fleeting, and if the troops did not immediately reinforce Homnich, those militias would definitely be wiped out. Once control of Homnich is lost, the Soviet troops in the swamps will inevitably appear passive in terms of future strategy.

Therefore, the order to assemble was passed down, and Balzen's headquarters troops, the guard platoon that had just entered the blacksmith village, and the artillery company, which was waiting for new equipment, who, as veterans of the regular army, would be the main force in this counterattack. Subsequently, some four more militia companies were assisted.

Just as the soldiers were immediately regrouping for battle, the good news came from Homnich.

After the radioman translated the code, he immediately rushed into the division headquarters excitedly and said excitedly: "Victory! Our militia was stunned and crushed the enemy's troops! ”

This was really good news, and everyone in the division headquarters immediately stood up.

"Show me! How they won! Yevlov stood up and took the piece of paper.

This is very brief information, which records the results of the militia, as well as its own losses. The outcome of the battle was amazing, but if the battle continued, Yevlov would have seen their doomed defeat.

"A victory, a pyrrhic victory. Our militia numbered 200 men, and we lost 72 people. They fought valiantly, destroying at least one company of German troops. Now, their elected commander, Alexander, claims that if we can't reinforce them, they will be wiped out in the future. ”

This battle loss ratio is already very staggering for the militia forces. You must know that in this battlefield, the macro Soviet regular army against the German army, the battle loss ratio often reaches three to one, if you meet a stupid commander, a fat pig-like general, will send the entire army to hell.

Yang Mingzhi was very clever to get important information from this short battle report, and immediately asked: "This Alexander is really wise. Who the hell is he? Is it a militia? Or are we veterans of the establishment of posts in Homnych? ”

"Veterans, of course. You're right, he was able to lead a group of militia to almost one-to-one results, proving that this man was very promising. Yevlov gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "This person is talented, he is no longer suitable to be a squad leader." We must get the people of Homnich back, and I want to give Alexander a promotion! ”

At the new division headquarters in the blacksmith village, the war mobilization was in full swing. In the future, a force of more than 1,000 people will storm Homnich and help the defenders defeat the German forces outside the city.

But no one could have predicted that the Germans would use a completely new offensive mode, or a retaliatory offensive.

The commander of the German battalion, Holstaufen, who suffered heavy losses, was convinced that his men had encountered the main forces of the Soviets. He sent a report to the division headquarters claiming that he had suffered a serious blow and that the well-armed guerrillas were hiding in the city.

He took one last look and asked the radio officers to add a new word - the regular army.

This kind of military intelligence is shocking, and at the division headquarters of the 722nd Division, Florid, who was eager to make meritorious contributions and was eager to engage the Soviet army head-on, stated his new plan to a group of staff officers at the division headquarters.

"Gentlemen! The road from Mozyr, which will stretch all the way to Bryansk, has a damned Soviet army, which must have fled to the Pripet swamps after the battle of our army to conquer Minsk. They could not be called guerrillas at all, but a regular army with real combat effectiveness. Now they are entrenched in Homnich, and in the future they are also a rallying point for troops to attack road transport lines, and we must take it.

It is still under the hands of the enemy who is seriously ill, and our troops have suffered heavy casualties. Because, I decided to apply for Air Force Aid! ”

As soon as these remarks came out, many staff officers felt that the division commander's request was too arbitrary.

Several staff officers immediately questioned it, so Homnich had already been devastated by the war and was in ruins. Is there really that much strategic value there? Speaking of the swamps, most of the people who can jump out of those muddy fields are savages. The men simply began to question Hallstaufen.

"That guy, it's better not to be like the people of the 715th Division, lying about the military situation and saying that the Soviet army in Homnich is very powerful, but the result is just that the infantry regiment is eager to take the city, and the 715th Division is instructed to make a mistake in judgment, which objectively led to the failure of the defense of Lechica."

But these reasonable words, Florid simply could not listen.

He questioned the staff officers who spoke, "I'm not the same as Schultz. That guy stretched the battle line too long, and his defeat proved that our enemy is really strong. If we fail to seize this opportunity and greatly damage its vital forces, we will not have many opportunities in the future. Unless our army sends a heavy army group to go deep into the mud to sweep away! ”

The staff officers immediately divided into two factions, and even the deputy division commander and the division chief of staff hesitated.

The quarrel began, and both sides laid out their reasons. In desperation, Florid's chief of staff kept silent, as if he had some good idea.

"Cole, you're the chief of staff, and your opinion is an authority, do you think we're going to ask for air assistance?"

"This?" The chief of staff hesitated. The opponents of the dispute, who argued, may well have misjudged. Because the weather is terrible right now, can't the Soviets afford to station a large number of troops in that damn ruin of Homnich? Their logistics must be relatively weak, and doing so is tantamount to looking for death.

The bigger question is about honor. That is, if we can't take Homnich, isn't it just a virtue with the 715th Division, then how can we talk about honor, and it will also be a huge blow to the morale of the entire army.

But the supporters are firmly on the side of the division commander. That is, if air strikes are not decisively adopted now, this group of Soviets will make corresponding countermeasures. Outside the city, Hallstaufen was still holding out, so the Soviets would definitely choose to confront each other. Because of the lack of heavy weapons, it was impossible for Holstaufen to take the fully prepared Soviet positions, and the only solution was to project fire from the rear, and air strikes were the only good means.

After all, this matter has to be expressed by Florid, who is the division commander, and he patted his thigh, "It's so decided, except for the bad results, I am responsible for it alone." I'm going to apply for an air raid from the Air Force! ”

Because Yang Mingzhi led the troops to go deep alone, like a chisel, he went deep into Lechicha and killed the Nazi Party representatives. This incident was not just a military defeat, but a political event.

The Germans were faced with the growing number of partisans throughout Belarus, and the liquidation of these armed personnel was not limited to the infantry of the security division and the armed German auxiliaries. The Air Force was also used to clear the guerrillas of law and order, and a fleet of Stuka dive bombers were deployed in Moziri.

There was no airfield in Moziri, and the Germans quickly carved out a large open space. Most of the planes of this era did not need too flat land at all, and the grass covered with short grass was a good field airfield.

Along with the 722nd Division, the various German units along the road hoped for an opportunity to attack the partisans on the swamp side. However, with the exception of their ability to hold the roads, secure transportation, and strengthen patrols to eliminate individual guerrilla stragglers, there was no plan to use troops against this vast swamp.

On the contrary, because of the air superiority of the air force, they have a chance to participate in the offensive of the swamp now.

The opportunity had come, the air raid mission was immediately approved by the group army, and the air force also set the combat mission at the first time. Ten Stuka dive bombers were quickly ready to take off, and the pilots, who learned that the target of the attack was a city, were full of information about the battle.

They did not have to worry at all about the planes of the Soviets, which at the beginning of the war lost six thousand aircraft. In what is now Belarus and most of Ukraine, and even in many parts of Soviet Russia, the German army has complete air supremacy.

The technicians installed two aerial bombs on each bomber, each weighing 250 kilograms, and once these twenty aerial bombs were dropped, it was foreseeable that the ruins of Homnage would really be blown into powder!

It's a pity that this situation, the compensation of the guards Homnitch is not known, and the 284th Division does not know.

As the plane's machinery roared, Death slowly approached Homnage. (To be continued.) )
