Chapter Sixty-Nine: Striking the South and Attacking the North
The specific plan of the 117th Division was to send a company to encircle and suppress the bandits in the Jealous Mountains, and quietly send a brigade to quietly penetrate the southern suburbs of Berlin, touch the back of the 321st Division of the Northwest Army, implement the blocking plan, resolutely block the 321st Division from retreating to Berlin, besiege them in the southern suburbs, and then gather and annihilate them.
There is no way to retreat, the 321st Division can only wait to die, although the East Gate and the West Gate also have two divisions of the Northwest Army, the 322nd and 323rd Divisions, but they dare not rush to the aid of the 321st Division,
Because outside these two gates, there are also two divisions of the Southern Army, staring at them with fierce eyes, if you move, I will beat you, if you don't understand, let's play with each other, the Soviet soldiers can see it accurately, and they don't dare to rescue the South Gate, seize this opportunity to kill the 321st Division, it is still certain,
As long as this division is killed, Goering will be dumbfounded, and the Soviet soldiers will fight for the initiative and completely control the southern suburbs,
The 322 and 323 divisions can only watch the 321 division being annihilated and dare not move, as long as they move, the 118 and 119 divisions will immediately attack, you move, I don't move, and if you move, you can still have benefits? , those who move will suffer serious losses, and the Soviet soldiers estimate that they will not dare to move,
The Berlin garrison, the Soviet soldiers did not dare to move, they did not understand the situation, they must mainly garrison Berlin, there are no troops to attack the city, they will not risk going out of the city,
Su Junsheng concluded that the annihilation of the 321st Division was an inevitable trend, and he was assured to boldly attack the 321st Division, because Goering would never have imagined that he would attack the 321st Division tonight.
The German General Headquarters was also anxiously waiting to see the change of time, nervously discussing countermeasures, the General Headquarters Rigoling and the Berlin garrison commander, as well as the chief of staff, were nervously talking about the actions of the Southern Army Corps, which made them restless, although Hitler told them that it was he who mobilized the troops, Goering was still not at ease,
The Central Army, led by Garrison Commander Ferdo von Bauk, was the essence of the national army and was responsible for the security of Berlin. Under normal circumstances, they will not go out of the city to fight
Goering just said: "Von Bauk, general, no matter what happens outside Berlin, the troops in Berlin can't move, but we must raise the alert level, we can't have sloppy thoughts, the strength of the Southern Army is not bad, our troops outside the city, we must take it seriously, muttering what doesn't work, who can't have paralyzing thoughts, they must be taken seriously,"
Feng Baoke said: "Commander-in-chief, please rest assured, we will not have any paralyzing thoughts, after figuring it out, we must carry it out, if there is no opponent attacking the city, we don't have to go out of the city, you fight yours, we don't need to go out of the city,"
"Yes, the safety of the Führer is the most important thing, and you don't need to take care of things outside the city," Goering said, and what else he wanted to say,
Suddenly, "Boom-" An explosion came, and the people in the general headquarters, who were already highly nervous, were even more nervous now, and Goering stood up nervously and shouted: "The end is a fight,"
Von Bauk said: "Commander-in-chief, don't be nervous, this cannon is still far away, it should be Monte Cristo,"
"The sound is in Monte Cristo, garrison commander, don't underestimate the 117th Division, they are very good at making noise, I'm afraid of being fooled, someone is coming-"
A staff officer ran in: "Commander-in-chief, what do you command?" ”
"Immediately find out where the cannon is fired, where is it?"
"Yes, I'll be the one who arranged for the scouts to rush over right away, and the commander-in-chief will have news soon." ,”
"Go quickly—" Goering urged impatiently.
At the headquarters of the 117th Division, the commander of the Hamestein Division laughed loudly, "Everyone else says that the east is attacking the west, I will come to the south and the north tonight, the command of His Excellency the Führer is correct, the action of suppressing the bandits will make me more moved, and a company will bring me four mortars up, and each gun will bring me five shells, and they will up,"
The commander of the first company in charge of suppressing the bandits asked: "The bandits' nest has exploded, do you still need to shoot artillery?" ”
"Fight, until twenty shells are finished, the first ten rounds should be concentrated, and the last ten rounds should be played leisurely, from the beginning to the end, at least an hour and a half, understand? I tell you that the bandit den should not be attacked by soldiers, all bandit dens are built in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if they are attacked by manpower, they will die, so they will blow him up, so they don't care about it, it is a bandit den of hundreds of people, and there are 20 shells, and they can be blown to pieces."
The first company commander nodded: "Understood, division commander,"
The division commander looked at his watch: ordered: "It's seven o'clock, you must fire the first shot at eight o'clock,"
"Yes—"
"Let's go—" Hamestan gave an order, and the commander of the company stood up and saluted, turned around, and ran out of the division headquarters,
Khamestein shouted again: "Third Brigade Commander—"
"By the ——, the commander of the 3rd Brigade reported to the division commander,"
Khamestein ordered: "Your brigade is in charge of interspersed missions, you detour back behind the 321st Division, immediately set up a position due north of the 321st Division, and not let a single soldier enter the city,"
3rd Brigade Commander: "Understood——, resolutely carry out the orders of the division commander." ”
Hamestein continued to order: "First Brigade Commander, you attack the 321st Division from the southwest, and the Second Brigade Commander, you attack the 321st Division from the southeast, so that your three brigades will surround the 321st Division from three sides.
"The time of our attack is 8:45, your troops can move in place, pay attention to our sneak attack, the actions before the start of the battle must be kept secret, the better the secrecy work, the greater the certainty of victory, do you understand?"
"Understood——,"
The division commander arranged the combat preparations, turned around and asked Blomburg: "Second lieutenant, do you think that this arrangement, if you can, you can return to report to the Führer,"
"No, I don't need to go back and report, the Führer does not interfere with your specific command, and besides, after the combat university, the Führer will participate in the battle, so, I must move with the three trips, don't make jokes again?"
As soon as he heard that the Führer personally participated in the battle, he couldn't help but get nervous, and the third brigade commander: "The Führer's participation in the battle is not to disperse our forces, but at least to allocate a part of the troops to protect the Führer,"
Blomburg smiled: "Brigade commander, you are wrong, the Führer does not need protection, just have our guards to follow, you don't know, the last time I was giving a speech, we encountered assassins, we were not around, our Führer was alone with two assassins,"
"Ah, the Führer knows martial arts?"
"The martial arts are excellent, and with him participating in the battle alone, at least, he can withstand a company,"
"Ah, the Führer is so powerful,"
"Tonight, let's know the truth, the three brigade commanders will go."
