277 Baranovic
Baranovich's battle went much more smoothly than expected, and before the battle began, Li Ling was even prepared to make major sacrifices, but in reality, the 1st Huaxia Division barely encountered any decent resistance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The battle for Baranovichi began at half past nine in the evening and lasted for two and a half hours until twelve o'clock at midnight, when the 1st Huaxia Division fully occupied Baranovichi, and the battle lasted for a total of two and a half hours, except for some resistance at the very beginning, when the 1st Huaxia Division suffered almost no resistance, and the situation of the battle was almost one-sided.
Although there were a large number of Soviet troops stationed in Baranovichi, due to the misjudgment of the commanders, they did not play their due combat strength at all, and too many people did not even know that they were dead, and the battle did not follow normal procedures at all.
The tanks of the 1st Huaxia Division penetrated the entire town as soon as the offensive officially began, and then turned around and killed, and the repeated impact of the back and forth made these Soviet soldiers not know where the Germans came from, and they even thought that they were completely surrounded.
They were hiding in their barracks, that was the only place they could hide, they were waiting for orders, waiting for orders from their superiors.
These Soviet soldiers did not collapse because of the imminence of death, they were still waiting, somewhat rigidly waiting for the orders of their superiors.
It's a pity that they are destined to be unable to wait for their commander's orders!
Perhaps it was fateful that at the moment when the battle began, the first shell that came out of the chamber of the Lion self-propelled gun coincidentally hit the headquarters of the Baranovichi defenders, killing the supreme commander of the defenders who was about to leave the headquarters to sleep.
When the Soviet soldiers finally couldn't wait any longer, when the minutes passed, when more and more places were razed to the ground, and some of them finally collapsed, the first white flag made of gauze was raised, and then they lined up and came out of the barracks, wanting to choose to surrender.
However, they did not get a chance to surrender!
Flares are not guaranteed to illuminate all corners of the town, nor are they guaranteed to be lit up consistently.
When the Soviet soldier raised the white flag and tried to come out of the almost collapsed barracks, it happened that the flare was ineffective, and the galloping tank did not see the soldier at all, and ran straight over.
With the first, followed by the second, then the third......
When the gunfire finally dissipated, Li Ling stood in the ruins of the town square, constantly issuing new orders to the troops and making necessary deployments with the help of flashing flares.
Soon, the 1st Huaxia Division moved again after a short period of calm, and according to Li Ling's deployment, the entire division would fully launch the defense of Baranovic.
As the commander of the Huaxia First Division, Li Ling may have experienced a lot before, including being attacked by the enemy and suffering serious losses, but he has never worried too much, but at this time, he actually had some worries.
In the attack, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he meets on a narrow road, the brave wins, and his excellent military quality and powerful weapons and equipment can ensure that the 1st Huaxia Division will come out on top in any offensive battle. But for defense, the situation is completely different, and all the advantages of the Huaxia First Division will be lost.
Baranovich is standing here, he can never change places, and now he is behind the two Soviet lines, and he doesn't know what the situation is on the front line, and the Luftwaffe does not seem to have the possibility of providing reinforcements here.
At the same time that the 1st Huaxia Division defeated Baranovic, the entire European land did not calm down, and on the frontal battlefield of thousands of kilometers, beacon fires were burning in almost every place, and the afternoon and evening of this day, and even the early hours of the morning, were fighting all the time.
After resisting the initial German offensive, the Soviets organized the first counteroffensive, and the Germans continued to advance with the previous victory, and the two torrents collided together.
In the German High Command, Heydrich, who had just returned from the front, stayed up all night, and the battle situation was constantly summing up, and he waited anxiously, in fact, what he was waiting for here was not the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield, because he always believed that the German army was invincible, what he was waiting for here and worrying about here was another very important thing, the situation of the 1st Chinese Division!
The offensive operation of the Huaxia 1st Division was very important, but at the same time it was very risky, however, because the Huaxia 1st Division was attacking too forward, and even went deep into the rear of the Soviet army, no one could know what the situation of the Huaxia 1st Division was at this time, and they could not grasp the situation there at all, and Heydrich was destined to be unable to wait for the situation of the Huaxia 1st Division.
In Moscow, Stalin also stayed up all night, he kept asking about the situation at the front, the war has been breaking out for a while, but he has never appeared in front of the public, he does not want to show up, but he really does not know what to say to the broad masses of the Soviet Union, he did not know much about the war situation before, and now the war situation is becoming more and more obvious, Stalin is even more afraid to face it.
He needed some victories to show the Soviet people that their mighty empire could withstand this crisis!
He stayed up all night, waiting for news of the victory, he needed tonight's news so badly.
......
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, a person who can also make the whole world tremble has not rested, and he is US President Roosevelt!
Roosevelt did not rest, not because he was overly concerned with the situation of the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, but on this day two pieces of intelligence were delivered to him in succession, one from the Soviet Union and the other from China.
Both of these cases came from the socialist parties and were clearly a case of disagreement with the United States. Know. Shape. political parties that are seriously opposed, and the content of the two pieces of information is almost identical.
Intelligence shows that the Japanese cabinet is planning to launch a military strike against the United States, and the US Government's recent series of policies have made Japan nearly unable to maintain its huge invading forces, and if the Japanese cabinet wants to change this situation, it must take action against the United States!
"It's finally time for this moment!"
Roosevelt said to himself, although he did not know the specific time and did not know where Japan would target the attack, but Roosevelt knew that he had finally waited for such an opportunity, he would be remembered by Americans forever, and he would become the greatest American president after George Washington!
He will lead the United States to the top of the world!
