"Boss, I just stopped them from shelling, I don't have enough ammunition on my side!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, the second echelon of the 1st Huaxia Division led by Li Ling finally arrived at the outskirts of Baranovichi, and the 1st Huaxia Division was considered to have completed the rendezvous, and after the rendezvous, the first thing Li Ling did was to question Kirsch, because when he came here, the self-propelled artillery detachment was not carrying out a fire strike, and the two tank brigades did not launch a full-scale attack on Baranovichi.
As the commander of the 1st Huaxia Division, Li Ling couldn't see anything like this, but fortunately, Kirsch still had a relatively good reason to be there, they themselves were a force without supplies, and after they broke through two lines of defense in a row, they killed here, and the ammunition itself was already stretched.
"Tell me about the situation, comprehensively, including the support we can get and the deployment of the enemy's forces. In addition, the troops quickly organized supplies, we were attacked halfway, and the supplies that followed were not very sufficient, and the troops had to be spared, and we did not know how long we would stay in Baranovic. ”
The problem of supply is definitely not a simple problem for the Huaxia First Division, Li Ling said to see if he can get any support, in fact, it is just some symbolic comfort, and sure enough, just like the report he got next.
At present, the 1st Huaxia Division not only does not receive any air support, but it is also impossible on the ground, and they have now completely lost contact with the rear, that is, there are no friendly troops within the range that any support can reach.
This was a very difficult situation, and although the conclusion based on the available reconnaissance methods was that no trace of the enemy's activity was found within a radius of 10 kilometers, Li Ling did not believe that the Soviet troops had not been mobilized to target the 1st Huaxia Division.
Although it has only been half a day since the Huaxia 1st Division began to pass through the Soviet defense line, such a large force of troops has penetrated directly into the rear of the defense line, and as long as the commander of the other side is not a fool, then it will definitely go all out to encircle and suppress it.
Now, every minute and every second is crucial to Li Ling, so much so that after he only made a simple deployment, and even before the troops were completely recharged, he began to order a part of the troops to go into the attack.
The 6th Heavy Tank Brigade led by Wang Zhandong and the 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade led by Bender were the first to attack, but the shelling was not carried out in advance according to normal procedures, which was specially arranged by Li Ling.
In fact, as everyone thought, the Soviet command, after learning that the German tank unit that had crossed the line of defense had stopped outside Baranovichi, guessed that they would definitely launch an attack on Baranovichi and thus cut off the connection between Minsk and the front line.
However, due to the information that one tank division and two infantry divisions immediately behind this tank unit had been defeated, the Soviet command department believed that under such circumstances, it was impossible for the German troops that passed through the defense line to be effectively reinforced, as long as they ordered Baranovichi's defenders to hold the town to the death, and then wait until the situation on the front line improved, it was the day to go back and encircle and suppress this German tank force!
It's just that the command of the Soviet army didn't know that the so-called battle report they got about the defeat of three German divisions was completely fictional, and even the unit that defeated the 'three German divisions' had been completely wiped out by Li Ling at this time!
Therefore, at this time, the so-called stubborn defense of the Soviet army and the deployment of other troops to continue to fight back against the main force of the German army seemed to be the most wrong decision!
As for the troops defending Baranovic, well, they were all cowering inside the town, and since it was already night when the second echelon of the 1st Huaxia Division came, they didn't even know that outside their city at this time, the Germans were so strong that they could easily tear the town apart.
In addition, the German artillery did not continue to fire after nightfall, so the commander of the defending army thought that the German army was resting, and this German army must have been weak because of the lone deep penetration!
The commander of the Soviet garrison quickly came to the conclusion that it was highly likely that the German unit would be harassed at night by small forces, and that such small forces must be kept as close as possible.
The real aim of the Germans was to exhaust the defenders through constant harassment by small forces, and then launch a surprise attack after 2 a.m. to take Baranović in one fell swoop.
The Soviet commander's idea was more reasonable, he thought he had seen through everything, and immediately issued an order for this tactic, requiring the troops to leave a small number of men to defend the key positions, and not close enough to be inseparable from the fire, to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy, a large number of troops immediately rested, and after two o'clock in the morning, that is, when the Germans thought that the Soviet army was most tired, when the Germans were preparing for a full-scale attack, he led all the troops to kill, Crush this German armored force in one fell swoop!
His idea was perfect, but he didn't know that Li Ling did not deploy troops according to his idea at all, but gave the order for an all-out attack at the first time, but did not immediately ask the artillery to enter the battle.
Because the existing artillery shells of the Huaxia 1st Division are not particularly large, and they cannot get follow-up supplies, and their purpose is not only to capture Baranovichi, but also to hold here, so Li Ling is somewhat picky, he asked the troops to attack again when they are close to the head of Baranovichi City, and then the troops rush to the Soviet position at full speed.
The sound of the Tiger tanks could be heard far away in the middle of the night, but the Soviet defenders did not care, because they had already received orders, which was just a drain on the Germans.
Coupled with the fact that the tanks could not turn on their headlights and had to coordinate with the infantry tanks, the speed of movement was so slow that the Soviet defenders did not even feel that the tanks were slowly approaching Baranovich.
Until, at half past nine o'clock in the evening of this day, at this time when almost all the defenders were sleeping when they were supposed to be asleep, on the west side of Baranovic, all the Lion self-propelled guns suddenly opened fire at the same time, and almost instantly turned Baranovichi into a sea of fire.
Immediately after, in front of Baranović, countless car lights suddenly lit up, and flares rose into the sky one after another, which were countless German tanks and soldiers, who were already in the city! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
