Chapter 508: Night Attack
At the time of his capture, Lieutenant Gutor-Alekseevich Gurov considered himself a dead man, but the heroic partisans rescued him and other prisoners of war and, by virtue of their special status and rank, became part of the leadership of the Red Banner Guerrilla Corps of the Swamp.

Konstantin Sergeyevich Zaslonov, the former head of the Brest Railway Locomotive Depot, the "Uncle Kostya" who once gave the German occupation forces a great headache and vowed to capture him, after receiving the direct order of the partisan corps, the underground working group led by him withdrew from Brest as a whole, and by the way, the railway system was destroyed for the last time before the evacuation, which paralyzed the Brest railway transfer station for three whole days!
Half a month after recuperating from his wounds, the lieutenant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took direct part in military operations, leading a "targeted elimination team" selected by Major General Melnik to operate in the northern area of the Everglades. In just half a month, this small partisan detachment of 20 people carried out more than 15 successful attacks, not only blowing up three German military trains on the Kobrin-Pinsk railway, but also attacking the German road transport team, with great success!
Melnik had promised to give Gurov a good gun, which would have been a German 98K sniper rifle, but now the lieutenant was not only a good sniper, but also a partisan leader.
This time, Zaslonov joined the "targeted elimination group" led by Gurov as the leader of the partisan group that took on a new task, and Gurov's new title of party representative went into the area around Lake Vigonoschenskoye to fight and get in touch with the Red Army units in the northeast.
The Vigonoschenskoye Lake District is a sparsely populated area with an average width of more than 50 km from east to west and a length of more than 100 km from north to south, bordered to the north by the Brest-Minsk railway, along which the small town of Miravid is located in the north.
The ground was frozen, and Gurov and his team were carrying supplies on mules into the new area of struggle, and they also carried field radios. Five days ago, he arrived in the area around Miraved, which was under the real control of the German army, and found that there was a German airfield here.
The Germans could not control all the areas, such as the Lake District, and the Germans could not effectively occupy them, but could only burn all the nearby villages in an attempt to cut off the logistics supply of the partisans.
After setting up camp in a small village destroyed by the Germans, five scouts, two of whom were former railroad section workers familiar with the local terrain, conducted a long reconnaissance to the northeast. However, two days later, Gurov received the news that the railway line from Balalovichi to Sanel to the northeast was not far from the battlefield blockade zone, and it was impossible to sneak through the blockade zone to contact his own people in the northeast.
Since the second goal could not be achieved for the time being, Gurov and Zaslonov decided to stay in the Lake District and continue to fight, because they were the first "regularized" partisan force in the area, and the first target was the Miravid airfield.
Lieutenant Gurov gained the respect and support of his team members in previous battles, because of the lieutenant's experience, they twice avoided the tracking of the encirclement and suppression forces of the superior German forces, and more importantly, the lieutenant's almost superhuman military qualities - the comrades saw the killing of German sentries at a distance of 800 meters; Witnessed the ambush of the German transport, the single shot with an assault rifle did not allow a 30-man carriage transport team to escape: while cleaning the battlefield, the team members found that 17 German soldiers were shot in the head!
"Against the German soldiers, you have to shoot twice, and then push one more to be safe." Not only did he speak of the tenacity of the German army, but Gurov's implication was that if he could hit the head, he would not need to make up for another shot.
No one else has the ability to do this: shooting is aimed by hand, and you don't even need to think about it!
What the partisans admired the most was Gurov's ability to survive in the wild! Supplies were limited, but capture would have given them enough supplies, but in the cold conditions it was not just enough to have provisions, not to mention the need to keep the Germans encircled and suppressed.
In the wilderness, you need fire to keep warm, and choosing a campsite can be a problem, but Gurov can always find a good place, and more importantly, he can make a fire stove out of rocks and frozen dirt that basically doesn't smoke!
It's a technique, and the average warrior wouldn't! Gurov had learned in his previous wilderness survival training that the guerrillas now used the tricks handed down by veteran bandits for centuries.
Quickly build a shack with tree branches, and add a stove that is basically smokeless, and you won't be noticed if you are a little further away in the woods, even during the day. Having access to hot food and warmth was especially important for guerrillas fighting in the wilderness in the bitter cold, and conspicuous bonfires could not be lit unless absolutely necessary.
However, in the past few days, they seem to have hit a hard nail, and the German guard troops at Miraved airport are well guarded, and even part of the minefield has been laid out on the perimeter. One member of the team was also killed in the last attack.
Gurov and the others found that the guard posts at the airport were very well arranged, and the probability of success in firing cold shots at night was relatively low, and it was not conducive to a safe retreat during the day, and they did not cause substantial damage to the airport for two consecutive days.
Every day, German planes constantly take off and land from the airfield, which is less than 70 kilometers from the line of fire, and it is clear that they are intensively supporting the front-line troops. In the end, Zaslonov had to use the guerrilla group's "ultimate weapon" - a 50-mm mortar, and fired more than half of the few remaining shells, successfully causing a fire at the airport.
Tonight, they trekked more than 10 kilometers into the perimeter of the airport, trying to disrupt the Christmas Eve celebrations of the Germans, only to see a convoy of cars entering the airport, and it seemed that important figures of the German army appeared, but there was no real solution.
Do not take unnecessary risks: to fight the enemy, you must first save yourself effectively, which is one of the guidelines for the survival of the guerrillas. Gurov decided not to risk it, there were many more to fight the fascists.
Listening to Gurov's words, Zaslonov and the 5 people around him decided to retreat, but they had just acted, and a little unexpected situation made them decide to wait for the time being: there was a sudden explosion at the airport!
There was no other sound or warning, and the explosion was like a time bomb in an airport!
The sharp-eyed Gulov saw a dark shadow suddenly appear in the dark night sky - it was a ******** with its engine turned off and gliding!
Tonight it was not only the partisans who did not want the Germans to be unsafe, but even the night raiders of the Soviet Air Force arrived at Milaverd -- the pilot boldly turned off the engine as he approached the airfield, and the Bo-2 flew silently over the airfield, dropped a few small bombs, restarted the engine and broke away from the ultra-low altitude -- the master was bold!
