Maximi never even dreamed that he would be betrayed by Vyachek, you must know that he still took good care of this little brother before, who would have thought that this person would turn his face and deny people and take revenge.

Anyway, Maximi couldn't even figure out why this was the case before he died. In fact, the reason is very simple, for a despicable villain like Vyachek, Maximilian is just an object that can be used, once Maximilian loses the value of use, then it is too normal for Vyachek to turn his face and not recognize people.

After betraying Maximilien, Vyachek soon found a new master, and without any discipline to speak of, he immediately became a bad dog raised by the Germans, doing evil to his master. Not only did he reveal the military secrets he knew, but he also continued to persecute those former comrades-in-arms who were unfortunately captured.

It is said that the two devils are even more ruthless and hateful by the devils, which is vividly expressed in Vyachek!

However, as the old saying goes, evil is rewarded with evil, and it is not that there is no retribution, but the time has not yet come, and for the time being, Vyachek will have to do evil for a while. Let's continue back to the armored train, after that fearless attack, the company's losses were relatively heavy, so that Ivan's nose was crooked when he rushed back, fortunately Maximilian was shot by the German devils, otherwise it would be worse than death in Ivan's hands!

"What we have to do now is not to complain, but to get back together! After all, the orders of the higher authorities are still valid, we must conquer the enemy's positions! ”

At Ivan's most irritable moment, the armored train suddenly spoke, which surprised a certain fat man. Looking at the armored train like a ghost.

Ivan was understandably taken aback. After all, the previous armored train was like a piece of ice that was 10,000 years old. You can't shoot a fart with a machine gun. He has never taken the initiative to express any opinions, and has always been passive. And this time, he actually took the initiative to make suggestions, how can Ivan not be shocked?

Why did the armored train have such a transformation, or the afternoon battle touched him too much, before he was a little self-defeating, and he couldn't figure it out, but the tragic consequences of Maximilian's erroneous command woke him up!

Such heavy casualties could have been avoided. The armored train felt that if it had been more aggressive, none of this would have happened. And it was his "inaction" and his hesitation that caused some young lives to be consumed needlessly, which made him very painful.

As the so-called painful experience, the armored train told itself in its heart that it would never let a similar scene happen again! So, when Ivan was at a loss, he took the initiative to make a suggestion for the first time.

Ivan has always admired armored trains, and has always hoped that this very combat-effective cattle man will become his right-hand man, otherwise he would not strongly recommend someone to be the platoon commander. You know, with someone's iceberg state, it's really inappropriate to be a platoon leader, and Ivan did that. Now, someone takes the initiative to come up with a plan. Although Ivan didn't know how well someone was commanding, he was willing to trust someone once.

Ivan asked modestly, "What do you have to do?" ”

"Night Attack!" The armored train spat out two words.

Said before. The armies of Europe do not have the tradition of night warfare, and night warfare requires a very high degree of organization of the army, and only those armies that cooperate with each other very well and have undergone sufficient training in night warfare can complete night raid operations. For Ivan, who is mostly new recruits and has suffered heavy losses only in the afternoon, will his troops be able to do it?

Speaking from the heart, Ivan didn't have the bottom at all, but out of trust in the armored train, he still agreed: "How many comrades do you need?" ”

The armored train spat out two more words: "All!" ”

At this time, Ivan's full fight is only a hundred or so people left, this is already his last capital, once the night attack fails, all these precious men and horses will be put in, the consequences will be unimaginable, but Ivan still did not hesitate, and replied decisively: "Okay!" ”

Next, in the presence of all the officers and men of the company, Ivan solemnly announced: "The night attack tonight will be under the full command of Comrade Victor. All commanders and fighters, including the company commander, must obey the orders of Comrade Victor, understand! ”

The officers and soldiers were shocked, but Ivan's prestige was still very high, and although everyone had doubts, they still chose to obey.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, when a goose-feather snow suddenly fell, the armored train announced the start of the night attack, and he personally took the lead, taking advantage of the wind and snow, to advance to the enemy position.

There was no noise except the wind and the creaking of boots on the snow. All the Red Army soldiers held their breath and quietly approached the German positions. As expected, the victory in the afternoon and the heavy snow in the evening reduced the vigilance of the Germans to a minimum, and they did not expect the Russians to attack at night.

After a short, one-sided battle, the Germans dropped a dozen corpses and retreated in disarray. And Ivan's side except for the snow road slippery two soldiers lost their feet, almost no loss, this bloodless battle greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers, swept away the decadence of the afternoon, and of course, also made the personal prestige of the armored train rise.

This unexpected victory even alarmed Li Xiaofeng, because after a whole day of counterattack, the Red Army reaped very few results, and in most areas, the Red Army's counterattack was ruthlessly repelled by the Germans, which also shows from another level that the Red Army's combat effectiveness at this time is indeed a gap with the German army.

"Do you want to fight back next?" Li Xiaofeng asked Rokossovsky.

The latter sighed and said: "It turns out that a full-scale counterattack means little other than creating casualty figures." I think the next stage is still to focus on holding on, and counterattacking can only be a supporting force...... I discussed with Comrade Lu Jin that since our army has replenished a large number of new recruits, although it has undergone a period of assault intensive training, the combat skills and combat experience of the recruits are still too lacking, especially the 21st Group Army, and the combat effectiveness of its units is very worrisome. We believe that the next stage should be to train new recruits in combination with active defensive operations. Strive to train a group of qualified soldiers who can fight within a month or so. ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded slowly: "I have no opinion on training the troops." But I want you to be mindful of the time. The Politburo gave us the task of driving out the German devils before the arrival of the New Year of 1942, and the task was heavy and the time was short! But this is a political task, and it must be done! ”

It's not that Li Xiaofeng wants to put pressure on Rokossovsky, but it's the fact that he can't complete the task, and he is definitely not the only one who is unlucky, and Tukhachevsky, who wants to counterattack, will definitely be liquidated. If Tukhachevsky is allowed to regain control, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Red Army! So. Even if the Bryansk Front faced many problems and great difficulty, it was necessary to complete this task!

Rokossovsky also knew this, so he spent all his time thinking about countermeasures, and almost every day he discussed with Lukin how to fight next. It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the lack of troops at hand seriously limits the tactics he can use.

"The focus is still on striking at the enemy's supply routes," Rokossovsky said after a long time, "judging from the reconnaissance situation, the enemy's supply problem is still serious, and there is an extreme shortage of winter clothing and food." If we can intensify our strikes in a targeted manner, we will further weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness. Lay a good foundation for the next stage of the counteroffensive. ”

Rokossovsky's opinion is indeed justified, but it can be done if it is reasonable and deputies. Li Xiaofeng also knew that the logistics of the German army were a dead end, and hitting this seven-inch would get twice the result with half the effort. But how to fight is really a big problem.

Previously, the task of striking the German lines of communication was undertaken by the Air Force, which also dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, but with the onset of deep winter, the weather was getting worse day by day, and it was snowing for more than ten days in a row, and the Air Force could not dispatch at all.

At the same time, the ground forces of the Bryansk Front were under-manned, and it was impossible to carry out a deep counterattack to hit the German logistics lines.

However, Rokossovsky thinks that it can be done: "It can't snow all the time, and when the weather improves, then the air force can continue bombing." As for the ground forces, large-scale counterattacks and interspersed operations are, of course, unrealistic, but we can organize small groups of elite units to penetrate through the enemy's lines and fight in the enemy's rear! ”

Soon the elite units of the Red Army were drawn out, including Ivan's company. The task of the connection was to cross the German defense line for special operations, and on a snowy night, under the leadership of an armored train, more than 100 people of the whole company crossed the German defense line without danger.

"How are we going to fight?" Ivan asked, rubbing his hands.

Yes, with the last armored train successfully commanding the night raid operation, his confidence in someone has grown even greater, so much so that in recent times, he, the company commander, has been doing more of the work of the political commissar, and the actual command of the company is carried out by the armored train.

"Do you want to attack the railroad directly, put on explosives, and get it all at once!"

In response to Ivan's suggestion, the armored train shook its head: "The Germans are not stupid, the railway is their lifeline, there must be heavy guards and patrols, and it is difficult to get it with our troops." And even if they barely succeeded, the Germans would quickly fix it. Railways are not a good target! ”

Ivan thought for a moment and said, "Then attack the German warehouses directly!" ”

The corners of the armored train's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "That's even more impossible, I'm afraid that the garrison of the warehouse is only stronger than the railway line, not weaker, and if we go, we will be sent to death!" ”

Ivan was stunned for a moment, the railway can't be hit, and the warehouse can't be hit, so what are they infiltrating here for, playing soy sauce? The instructions from the higher authorities are very clear, that is, they must attack the enemy's logistics facilities and do nothing, so there is no way to explain it.

The armored train calmly replied: "We are not doing nothing, but we are going to be smart about the mission!" ”

How can you be smart and carry out the task? The armored train believes that the most important thing is to obtain first-hand information, and it is necessary to figure out the defensive configuration of the German army and understand the situation of the German army before it can enter the next stage.

Ivan was a little puzzled: "Don't we have aerial reconnaissance?" ”

The armored train replied: "Aerial reconnaissance is not omnipotent, and the enemy also knows that we will reconnoitre, so he will naturally try every means to counter-reconnoitre, so aerial reconnaissance can only obtain general information, and the real details have to be handled by us!" ”

Just do it. Led by an armored train. Their company did not have the same as other fraternal units. After infiltrating behind enemy lines, they immediately carried out sabotage work, but carefully lurked, day and night, and did not take the initiative to provoke the German army, but collected intelligence bit by bit through disguise reconnaissance.

It must be said that the decision of the armored train was correct, because too many Red Army units that had infiltrated behind enemy lines launched an attack with a roar. But the effect was not ideal, the German army was indeed well prepared, and it had long been guarded against this move of the Red Army. Most of the rushed Red Army was quickly wiped out by the Germans.

"Victor, you're still clever, or we'd be a pile of corpses." Ivan sighed.

However, Ivan is very gloomy about the prospect of the mission: "But we can't hide so old, what about the mission?" ”

The armored train looked at the sky and calmly replied: "Soon there will be a way!" ”

At the same time, in the headquarters of the Bryansk Front, Rokossovsky, Lukin and a certain immortal looked at each other without saying a word. Because the infiltration attack can basically be declared a failure, most of the infiltration forces will either be eliminated. Either they were driven back like rabbits by German patrols, and the damage caused by the attack was nothing short of drizzle.

"It seems that the Air Force will have to solve the problem." Lukin sighed.

Rokossovsky shook his head: "I'm afraid the air force is not easy to solve, according to the results of aerial reconnaissance in recent days, on the one hand, the German army has arranged a large number of anti-aircraft guns in important material warehouses and stations, on the other hand, it is also evacuating materials, dispersing and configuring the materials that were originally concentrated together, and also setting up a large number of false targets, how to identify these false targets, this is a problem." ”

"Can't you just serve it in one pot?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

Rokossovsky smiled bitterly: "There are too many false targets, and the air power allocated to us is limited......"

Lukin scolded hatefully: "That damn old fox! ”

The so-called old fox is naturally Guderian, and the tank monster knows very well that his death hole is the lack of supplies and poor supplies, if the Red Army grasps these two points and kicks the crotch hard, then he can only kneel sincerely.

But Guderian is definitely not a person who admits defeat, on the contrary, he is actively thinking of ways to solve the problem. Logistical supply lines are not smooth? Then send more patrols, anyway, now that his troops have lost the ability to attack in an all-out way, the remaining troops can't just sit in a daze, right? Then send out on patrols, on the one hand, to clear the Red Army guerrillas, and on the other hand, you can go to the countryside to grab some supplies, no matter what, it is better than doing nothing, right?

Secondly, Guderian also knew that now the Red Army occupies absolute air superiority, and once the weather improves, the Red Air Force will be powerful, and he will be able to walk around, so he strengthened air vigilance and defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also actively evacuated the valuable materials that were originally gathered together, and set up a large number of fake warehouses, and every few days, the real warehouses and fake warehouses will be exchanged, in short, it is to make the Red Army's aerial reconnaissance blind!

Don't say it, these two tricks really work, for example, Rokossovsky is out of line, it is said that Guderian won this round, but he didn't expect his whole calculation to be disturbed by a nobody, this person is the armored train.

Through make-up reconnaissance, the armored train demarcated the distribution location of German warehouses and the configuration of anti-aircraft fire, as well as the law of mutual conversion between a considerable number of real and fake warehouses. Yes, this is indeed regular, the Germans are also human beings, it is impossible to really make a random conversion, they do it according to a set of inherent rules.

"What are the Germans doing? A little material is tossed and tossed every three or five times, and you are not too tired to panic? Ivan, disguised as a Russian peasant, whispered into the armored train.

"The Germans are preparing for air raids, their supplies are limited, they can't withstand losses, and they can only move frequently!"

Ivan suddenly had a headache: "In this way, wouldn't it be more impossible for us to attack?" And like you said, our strength is too small, even if we succeed once or twice, the damage to the Germans is not great! Is our trip really in vain? ”

The armored train smiled slightly and said: "It's not in vain, our company really can't help the enemy, but our air force can, go, hurry up and send the intelligence back!" ”

This piece of information is really crucial, to put it mildly, will decide the fate of the two armies, once Guderian's supplies are destroyed, then the German army will have to retreat if it does not retreat, on the contrary, if the German army's supplies cannot be destroyed, then the stalemate situation may continue. With the existing strength of the Bryansk Front, it will be difficult to defeat the German army before the New Year, and Li Xiaofeng will have a lot of fun at that time, after all, he has been patting his chest against the Politburo before.

Ivan and the armored train walked away, carefully disguised as Russian peasants hunting or chopping wood in the fields (there were many of them, because the peasants' rations were taken away by the Germans, and they did not want to starve or freeze to death, so they had to try their luck in the fields).

It should be said that their camouflage is still very good, and they have encountered two German patrols in a row without any danger, which makes a certain fat man complain about the vigilance of the German army: "What bullshit, the uncle came over with a swagger, and he was simply blind!" ”

The armored train quietly pulled him and reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful, there are German devils coming again......" (To be continued......
