On the right bank of the Dnieper River, a company of soldiers left by Rechev was always ambushing near the railway. They established fortifications as usual five hundred meters away from the railway track. This was also where they spent the night.
They observed until nightfall and determined how often German trains passed by.
That is, in the afternoon, a train passes by in almost half an hour, and then the interval gradually becomes two hours. No one knows whether these trains will travel at night. Soon, the actual actions of the trains proved that even if
Even at night, they have to drive past.
"What are these Germans doing? What happened to make them crazy to transport supplies to Gomel?" Reichev was very curious. He wished he could derail a train directly to investigate what kind of goods the Germans were transporting.
Anxious.
After night fell, the world became quiet. The wide surface of the Dnieper River was blown by the breeze, and the weak waves kept hitting the river bank. These small sounds were also noticed by the sentry. The sentry also heard a trace of insects.
Even moths and bats flap their wings.
Occasionally, a train passed by, which was accompanied by a roar stronger than during the day and a slight tremor of the earth, which shocked the sentries and awakened all the Soviet soldiers who were ambushing in the forests around the city of Loev.
After all, it was a small city, and observations during the day showed that there were not many enemy troops stationed there, maybe only about five hundred people.
Therefore, Reichev was not too worried about the new day's battle. Before going to sleep, he gave orders to the entire battalion of rocket artillerymen.
That is, the attack at the appointed time tomorrow will be launched first by rocket launchers. The ultimate goal of the troops is to dispatch elites to plant explosives on the bridge and then blow up the bridge. Even if the enemy has a concrete bunker, using catfish rockets to bombard it is obviously vital.
Superfluous. Besides, they have an excellent launch system, and the rockets are sure to hit with one shot!
When the train left, the world became peaceful. The soldiers who woke up fell asleep one after another, as if nothing had happened.
Just as the soldiers were unaware, time passed by minute by minute.
The sky gradually turned into deep blue, then sky blue, and dawn arrived just at three o'clock in the morning.
Today is the summer solstice. The sun broke through the horizon at just 3:20, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth. Thick fog gradually appeared in the forest, and the whole world fell into mystery.
The world is still quiet, and in this mystery, more than twenty sneaky figures are active.
Because of the cover of thick fog, they were sure that they would never be discovered by anyone.
They rushed to the railway track, took out their wooden shovels and began to dig out the soil between the two sleepers. Finally, a black lump was buried. They then led a line from the black lump and extended a foot west along the direction of the railway.
There is a distance of twenty meters, and an iron sign is set up here to tie the rope.
After doing these things, they disappeared under the cover of fog.
The matter was not over. After about half an hour, the ground began to shake again. Soon, the roar of the train woke up the soldiers again. It was already four o'clock, and the sentry clearly remembered that the enemy's last train passed here and it was better.
zero point.
But this time, the train did not pass by with a roar.
The majority of soldiers finally woke up. There were still three hours left before the appointed time, and they had decided to get up one after another.
Many people had just crawled out of the accommodation pits when a frightening and violent explosion caused strong vibrations and forced them to lie down one by one.
"What's going on? Where did the explosion happen?!" Reichev was puzzled. Through his sharp eyes, he determined that the explosion must be in the north, and it felt that the incident was not far away.
Suddenly, he thought of something terrible: "Damn it! Shikaf, you actually took action in advance! I'm going to kill you!"
The furious Reichev immediately ordered all the soldiers to get up. He raised his submachine gun and shouted: "Second Company, Third Company, stay on guard for me! Fourth Company, follow me to the north. Don't bring too many things, just bring your own guns."
And ammunition!”
Reichev led more than a hundred people to rush north. They were still on the way, and soon they heard the sound of fierce firefights again.
Reichev's heart tightened: Damn it, did they get into a fight with the enemy's patrol?
The first company, which had been ambushing near the railway, did exchange fire with the "enemy".
Because company commander Shikaf's men were only 500 meters away from the railway, the violent explosion shocked them almost to a cardiac arrest! The company commander, who had regained consciousness, immediately called to his shocked soldiers, packed his weapons and ran towards the railway.
.
The explosion caused the train to derail, the steam locomotive was completely destroyed, and some of the carriages behind it also overturned, but some were still intact.
Almost all of the German soldiers escorting the supplies were injured or killed when the incident occurred. However, some people suddenly rushed out of the fog and killed all the wounded German soldiers.
These unknown persons then began to pry open the carriage and were busy carrying the sacks inside. They also did not forget to pick up the weapons left behind by the Germans. However, the sudden arrival of Shikaf's troops completely disrupted their work.
The fog dissipated a little, and even so, people fifty meters apart could only see each other's vague shadows.
After all, they were elite paratroopers. After seeing the derailed and burning train, they immediately identified the shaking black shadow as the enemy.
"Brothers, don't let the Germans go, hit me!"
Following Shikaf's order, the soldiers with outstanding marksmanship knocked down many exposed black figures with a crackle. Then the submachine gunners swarmed forward, and a team of more than a hundred people quickly controlled the situation.
Those black figures had no time to escape before they were surrounded by Soviet troops.
Now Shikaf is convinced that he has made a contribution. First of all, they did not blow up the train. It must have been caused by some guerrillas laying mines or other explosives. This is irresistible.
And he captured some German soldiers in one breath, which was a great achievement!
"Haha! Look how many Nazis we caught?!" He walked vigorously with a smile, holding a submachine gun in his right hand majestically.
However, when he saw the dozen or so people sitting on the ground threatened by the bayonets of armed soldiers, he immediately became suspicious.
They were wearing civilian clothes and they didn't look like Germans at all.
Suddenly, a feeling of misunderstanding came to mind.
Shikafu asked weakly: "You...could you be? Guerrillas?!"
At this time, the same inexplicable person sitting on the ground spoke: "We...we are indeed guerrillas. Who are you? Are you a friendly army? Or are you traitors to the great motherland?"
Hearing this, Reichev took off his helmet. His eyes were as wide as bells, with a look of shock on his face.
He sighed with some trembling: "Of course we are friendly forces! Damn it! We hit one of our own! Damn it, we got into trouble this time!"
