Chapter 1395 Guessing the facts but not the process
In the headquarters of the Soviet 63rd Army, all officers and staff were waiting for the latest news from the front line.
Yang Mingzhi was still sitting at the map table, looking thoughtfully at the red or black wooden blocks on the map.
Balzen should be able to complete the decoy operation very well, and the enemy will definitely be attracted by the sudden appearance of the village, but when will the enemy enter the village? Until he gets the exact information, he will always maintain this posture, but he
I also know that what is coming will come soon.
Suddenly, a female correspondent hurried to the main office of the headquarters with a telegram sheet held high. Because it was an emergency, she no longer cared about etiquette.
She ran and shouted: "The Nazis have appeared and they are about to enter a trap."
Yang Mingzhi stood up suddenly after sitting for a while. His widened eyes slowly turned into gaps, and his sullen face finally relaxed, and he even laughed out loud.
Yevlov snatched the telegram, glanced at it and laughed loudly before holding it in front of Yang Mingzhi.
"Dear Davarich, your plan has succeeded! The German army is still waiting for the last moment. They will enter the village soon."
"Of course! I won't read this telegram in detail."
Yevlov was stunned: "What? You don't want to take a closer look?"
"No need, this is Lavrenti's telegram. If he can personally see the German troops in the distance, it means that the German troops have entered the attack range of our shark rocket launchers. Correspondent!"
"arrive!"
"Dear, immediately send a report to the Second Regiment of the 284th Division and order them to seize the opportunity to launch rocket bombardment independently. But after the bombardment is completed, all troops will retreat three kilometers to the west to avoid possible suffocating gas!"
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi must add the following sentence. It is raining lightly in Blacksmith Village now, and it has been raining for two days. It is also because of the rain that the originally strong north wind has become weaker. No one in this world understands cloud bursts better than him.
Because of the power of the projectile, he asserted that after a burst of artillery bombardment, the enemy would definitely die. Of course, after all, the shark rocket was a weapon that was forced into actual combat after just one experiment. The arsenal could at least guarantee that it would not explode, and its range was huge.
Faulty, in a sense it's more like a giant mortar.
Yang Mingzhi bent over his desk and stared at the north: "Today is the moment to witness the horror!"
The command telegram from the commander himself was quickly sent to Lavrenti. Having obtained the frontline command authority, he was grateful for the commander's trust. Of course, he was under great pressure.
During the brief period of communication between the Soviet army, the German army launched some more artillery attacks.
Balzen led his troops to escape from the west side of the village, firing shots as he ran. Thanks to the cover of the pile of sheds in the village, Blücher did not know how many enemies were ambushing around the village, or even whether there were any enemies in the village.
It was even more unknown that there was an ambush.
Because this is a relatively open area, Blücher had to be careful. Moreover, his troops had been continuously pursued, and every soldier was a little tired. The troops consumed some ammunition along the way, and the enemy situation was somewhat unclear.
At this moment, it would be unwise to continue shooting rashly.
It's time to send out a reconnaissance force.
The Waffen-SS was an army composed of what Hitler considered to be noble human beings. From soldiers to officers, they naturally had some discrimination against the Wehrmacht, which was mostly composed of Germans of other bloods.
At this moment, Blücher ordered the casual officers and soldiers of the battalion of the 634th Division to act as scouts.
More than five hundred German soldiers formed a wide skirmish line and cautiously launched an assault on the villages ahead.
Their actions were all monitored by Lavrenti. He knew that the German army had a large number of tanks and as many as 3,000 troops this time. The German army's troop strength information was provided by Balzen, so even if there were powerful weapons, Lav
Lian Ji still didn't dare to act rashly. Besides, he didn't know anything about the consequences of concentrated use of powerful cloud bombs!
The Soviet army set up ten launchers behind a small forest. Each launch position would fire five rounds. All shark rockets were aimed at trap villages. Only when the main force of the German army actually entered the village, Lavrenti could
Will give the order to fire.
At this moment, Lavrenti already had a ball of grass on his head and went to the front line to observe in person.
"Germans, hurry into the village and let us end the fighting quickly." He muttered, but the Germans did not cooperate.
A battalion of the German Wehrmacht entered the village without any resistance. They immediately launched an investigation and immediately discovered something fishy about the village. In a so-called settlement, even if the Russians took away daily necessities, there should always be large items that could not be taken away.
Let's go. Look at this village again. It's just a shack. All the houses are empty, at most there's just some hay.
The German battalion commander ordered a platoon of soldiers to go back quickly to report the news, and the remaining people continued to inspect.
They found several Soviet corpses that had been killed by previous artillery fire. The corpses had linen leggings on their legs, and the Germans determined their identities - the Soviet 284th Infantry Division, or the 63rd Army. The Germans did not pursue them.
Wrong object.
The German platoon hurried to Blücher's ambush and reported some strange findings to him.
"Oh? Do you, the battalion commander, think that Russians don't know how to live in shacks? Forget it, your battalion commander is too cautious. There are many Russians fleeing in this swamp. They have nothing, so they have to cut down trees and build shacks to live in.
"Don't think too highly of the Russians. Even if there is a hole in the ground, they can use it as a bed."
Blücher turned a deaf ear to the signalmen's suggestions. He had no time to think about why the village in front of him was actually a pile of wooden sheds. Besides, whether it was a wooden shed or not, he had to go and see for himself.
Blücher had every reason to lead the entire SS59 regiment into the village. After all, everyone was tired, and it was already afternoon. This swamp was very large, and the Russians knew the terrain best, but the Germans could only
Relying on a map of the area that was obviously unreliable, I suddenly found a village with empty buildings. Even a pile of sheds was better than nothing.
The weather is still gray, the day will end earlier, and it may even rain at any time. Why not make use of some sheds to protect soldiers from wind and rain?
Blücher didn't think much about it. With a wave of his hand, two thousand armed SS soldiers began to move towards the village in large strides from the grove where they were hiding.
All the waiting, all the sacrifices, are for this moment.
Balzen, who had already withdrawn, led the remaining troops back to the camp of the second regiment. When Lavrenti saw the German army advancing towards the trap village in large numbers, he immediately ordered the rocket launchers in the rear to be ready to launch at any time.
So, are the Germans really walking around arrogantly, ignoring the dangers that may come from the surroundings? Of course they will not be so careless. When the entire army is moving, all tanks, armored vehicles, and all soldiers are guarding the surroundings. Once the Soviet army
When launching an attack, the troops immediately relied on armored vehicles to form a circular defense line to block the attack, and used powerful firepower to repel any enemy.
Blücher firmly believed that there would be a Soviet ambush around him. The enemies he had just driven away must be observing in secret, and they might even gather their friends to launch a sneak attack at night.
When most of the SS59 regiment entered the bait village, Blücher was still worried about all the assault team leaders, warning them not to be careless after nightfall.
Undoubtedly, all the officers stood at attention and saluted, and kept saying Jawohl. It is a pity that they guessed the facts, but not the course of the battle.
Lavrenti saw from a distance that all the armored vehicles had entered the village, but some German soldiers had not yet entered. He calmly left his observation position. He quickly ran through the small forest and opened fire on the five firing positions.
