Chapter 696: The Discovery of the Guerrillas (Part I)
Mines, mines, and sniper rifles are once again the protagonists of the battlefield, and the Axis forces have once again embarked on a journey to hell, but this time they have become somewhat accustomed to it, so these special operations methods have not delayed the other side for long, fortunately, Gao Deyu did not expect to delay for long, as long as the enemy's living forces are destroyed, he feels that it is enough.
There was a loud bang, a railway bridge over the Tisza River was completely blown up, and an arms train that had just driven on the bridge did not have time to brake, and in the frightened eyes of the train driver, the train drove directly under the bridge from the breach, and the whole train completely derailed, and four carriages overturned and plunged into the river. The train driver had already been crushed into meatloaf by the sudden impulse, and he was buried with an entire battalion of Axis escort troops.
"Great, we're done, now let's go see the loot, there must be a lot of good stuff on this train." Huber, the young sergeant, shouted excitedly, raising his leg to run to the train car that had fallen on the roadbed.
Ensign Gruber grabbed Huber's arm and said: "You are crazy, such a big movement will definitely attract the Nantes escort, and when they arrive, none of us will be able to escape, now listen to my immediate retreat." ”
Under the sharp reprimand of Second Lieutenant Gruber, Huber unhappily packed up his explosives and left the scene with a dozen comrades. Leaving the area they had to cross the railroad line, and while bypassing it, Ensign Gruber spotted a colonel-ranking officer whose body had been twisted and twisted.
The officer's face was covered in blood, and his left leg and right hand were twisted in reverse and were apparently broken. He stared at the sky with wide eyes, long gone, but his other intact hand still clutched a leather bag as if it were something very important.
Puzzled, Ensign Gruber lowered his head and picked up the purse. After opening it and examining it briefly, Ensign Gruber found that there were several documents sealed with fire paint inside. Having worked in the regular army, he immediately understood that these documents must be classified at a level of secrecy, which means that these documents are very important.
Lieutenant Gruber did not turn on the fire paint, but quietly slung his bag on his back, ready to move on. However, while he had stopped to examine his purse, the feisty Huber snuck to the nearest carriage to check on the situation, and by the time Ensign Gruber picked up the purse, he had already galloped back.
"Sir, look, what have I found?" Huber shouted from afar, and Ensign Gruber looked closely and saw that he was carrying two small oak barrels in his hands.
"What's that?" Second Lieutenant Gruber shouted.
Huber lifted the iron bucket as if offering a treasure and said: "This is wine, it is for the army, there are many over there, some oak barrels have been broken, and the wine is flowing all over the ground, what a waste." ”
Second Lieutenant Grubber smiled: "Okay, we can open meat today, I haven't drunk wine before, and I'm really a little greedy." ”
Huber said: "There are many over there, should we move some more?" ”
Second Lieutenant Grubber shook his head and said, "Time is pressing, let's retreat quickly." Two barrels of wine are enough for a trophy. After saying that, he walked towards the mountains and forests first, and Huber did not dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, so he had to follow the second lieutenant into the mountains and forests with the rest of the team.
As soon as the small unit left for more than 10 minutes, a rolling car driving on the railway drove over, and five or six heavily armed soldiers jumped off the rolling car with their guns in their hands and searched for the train.
Tentatively moving forward, carefully searching the surroundings, these road guards were afraid of encountering the cold guns of the guerrillas. After carefully observing for a long time, they found that there was no movement, and then they were relieved. After taking a few steps forward, several road guards soon saw the locomotive lying at the bottom of the bridge panting, which had been scattered in the nearby carriages, and one of the road guards scolded and said: "Damn, this is the third time in five days, and this time the bridge was also blown up, which is too much." ”
Another member of the team also said: "Yes, those people always make trouble for us, and now those railroad soldiers have something to do." ”
"Let's go, let's go to the front and set up a barricade, and then inform the superiors that these things are not something we can clean." The leader greeted them, and the others continued to walk forward.
This sabotage was not carried out by the special forces of the Chinese Empire, because his area of operation was far away in the territory of the Cossack Empire, such as the Tisza River, which belonged to the former Habfsburg Kingdom, and they would not come, and it was the guerrillas of the Habsburg Kingdom Restoration Army who destroyed the railway just now.
After the war between the Axis group and the NATO allies, the two countries except the Yaman Restoration Army were sent out, unlike the Yaman Restoration Army, which was trained as a regular army, the two Restoration Army, which was specially trained as guerrillas, was more adept at sabotage and sneak attacks, and they were specially trained for the mountainous terrain of the two countries.
After returning to the territory of their homeland, the guerrillas returned to their homeland according to their territory, not only disrupting the peace in the rear of the Axis powers, but also encouraging the people of the lost country to rise up in revolt. There are many advantages to organizing a rebellion in their own hometown, and they know the people here well, and they can easily discern who still cherishes their homeland and who have thrown themselves into the arms of the invaders.
In their homeland, these guerrillas began to recruit resistance fighters, assassinate undetermined defectors, disrupt the Axis later supplies, and eliminate small Axis patrols. With their leading role, resistance organizations flourished in the original territories of the two countries.
Dozens of guerrillas of the Habfsburg Restoration Army were scattered near the Carpathian Mountains, where the Tisza River flows, and received urgent orders from their superiors after another large-scale Axis offensive. These orders from the government-in-exile required them to launch a large-scale attack on the rear of the Axis powers, trying to destroy some of the Axis rear supply bases and delay the pace of the attack.
The rebel group in the vicinity of the Carpathians was Colonel Herzendorf Jr., the son of the Chief of the General Staff of the Habsburg Kingdom Army, Colonel Hezendorf Jr. After his father, as a veteran of the country, entered the upper echelons of the government-in-exile as Minister of Defense, Colonel Hezendorf chose to return to his homeland to continue the resistance and prepare for the restoration of the country, for which the elder Hezendorf was quite supportive of his son.
At the same time, Colonel Herzendorf was also a top student who graduated from the Tongjiang Army Military Academy of the Chinese Empire, and he naturally became the leader of the resistance in this area, responsible for managing more than 12 resistance guerrillas and a large number of underground intelligence organizations, and the most powerful guerrilla force in this area was the one he personally controlled, with more than 1,000 guerrillas on the staff, and it was a guerrilla group under his command that blew up the railway bridge.
"Ensign Gruber is back, he has something to report." The escort came over and whispered to Colonel Hezendorf, who was in a military meeting.
"Oh? Ask him to wait for me, and I'll see him after the meeting. After saying that, Colonel Hetzendorf continued his military meeting: "This time the government has given us an order to cooperate with NATO forces on the frontal battlefield to strike at the Axis powers, focusing on destroying the other side's logistics bases, what do you think should be done?" ”
A major named Ramadi stood up and said, "Those Chinese must be unable to stand it again, and want us to die." We can't do it, how many people will be killed and injured in such a dangerous job, and if we die, we will die in vain, there is no point at all. ”
"Yes, we can't die for the Chinese." Several lowly officers chimed in.
Colonel Hezendorf shook his head and said: "As a soldier, we must proceed from the interests of the country and not be angry. Now that the Axis powers are so powerful, we cannot recover on our own, and only by uniting with NATO can we have any hope of victory. So I want you to forget about those dangerous thoughts, and to have the highest goal of restoring the country, and for the rest, we have to make sacrifices. ”
Major Webb said: "But we only have such a small number of men, and in the Carpathian region, the Axis garrison exceeds 100,000, how can we deal with it." ”
Colonel Hetzendorf said: "It is true that the armies of the Axis powers are numerous, but they have to defend various points, and their forces must be scattered. But we can concentrate and attack their weakest link, and there is still hope for victory. Herzendorf's words caused everyone to nod their heads again and again, and the officers below thought about the direction of the battle.
"Maybe we can attack more and cut off the other side's railway lines in large numbers, which can also delay the other side's logistical supplies." Major Webb suggested that he was still very resistant to the overly dangerous task of destroying the opposing logistics base.
Colonel Hezendorf shook his head and said: "This will not work, the Axis troops have a lot of engineering units stationed here, and they can restore the traffic of the railway line in a short time, not to mention that there are many rolling cars patrolling the railway, which is very dangerous for our operation." There are also many nearby road lines, and they can also use trucks for road transportation, although the cost is higher, but it can completely make up for the lack of railways. ”
"In that case, we have no choice but to attack the other side's logistics base." Major Webb said with a serious face.
