Warmansky Jr. could be described as overjoyed when he received the latest order from the headquarters.
His cavalry troops already carried a large amount of supplies, so they were placed in the northernmost part of the Soviet formation. The cavalry could still maintain strong survivability.
The cavalry battalion has been damaged and its combat effectiveness has been weakened, but its essence is still there. Friendly troops shed their lives and blood to fight the fascists, and the already brave cavalry certainly refused to do so.
Little Womansky immediately stood up and shouted to the gathered soldiers: "Comrades! Unfortunately, we did not find a German army. The commander was very angry about this. Our friendly forces have already exchanged fire with this German army.
, the commander ordered us to participate in the attack! We will attack the enemy's flanks and help the main force completely defeat the German army. Now draw your sabers and follow me forward!"
In Yang Mingzhi's order, he did criticize the cavalry battalion for dereliction of duty, but he did not use any vulgar language.
The cavalry battalion has been working very hard to search for the enemy, but the battlefield is also very large, and there are a lot of woods scattered in groups. Furthermore, since the 707th Division has dispatched elites and several previous attacks on its logistics troops, it will definitely
This group of German soldiers were alerted, so it was understandable that the cavalry battalion did not find the enemy.
Warmansky Jr. took Yang Mingzhi's criticism very seriously, and he even imagined that the commander would be furious at his dereliction of duty in the headquarters.
Most of the cavalrymen who were galloping were upright. Womansky did not defend himself. He drew his saber and led his troops to quickly advance towards the enemy's position.
On the other hand, armored trucks finally arrived at Lavrenti's camp.
Lavrenti was initially dissatisfied with the truck driver's delay, but when he saw the huge amount of mud attached to the wheels and the temporarily welded steel plates on the sides that were also filled with dry mud, his anger disappeared.
He asked a driver: "You guys are taking too long. If you had arrived soon, we would have broken through the enemy and captured thousands of Germans."
The driver shook his head in annoyance: "Sir, you think too highly of us, and you are too optimistic about the road conditions in this country!"
"Okay... okay... Comrade, the commander has just issued an order. As soon as your trucks arrive, you will soon be responsible for the main attack."
"There's no problem with that. It's an honor to serve the motherland."
The driver patted his chest and assured, which made Lavrenti very happy. Many arriving truck drivers got out of their cars and spontaneously gathered towards Lavrenti.
Armored trucks are by no means invulnerable. Three of them were lost in the battle a few hours ago, and the driver also died gloriously!
In a new battle and facing a new powerful enemy, who can guarantee that the armored trucks will not suffer heavy losses?
Lavrenti said something to these warriors. He touched his pocket and took out his cigarette case.
"Brothers, as a front-line commander, I need to express something to you. It's a pity that there is no alcohol here, so just smoke a cigarette. This was seized from the Germans. It is more comfortable than you rolling cigarettes with Pravda."
.”
Of course, the drivers did not hesitate to accept that the so-called cigarettes have a soothing effect. Whether this is true or not, on the front line, having some psychological comfort can offset the worries of soldiers to a large extent.
After the truck and the only tank arrived, in order to ensure the best combat condition, the soldiers immediately began to clean up the soil on them, especially the outstanding BT tank. It had already made great achievements, Chekov knew,
In the next battle, I still have to take the lead, and the one who makes the first contribution must be my own crew!
After the attack was frustrated, the Soviet troops retreated. Before the attack at 2:30, the troops got a crucial opportunity to rest and regroup.
The soldiers who were attacking were having a good rest. Everyone drank water and ate dry food, rubbed their legs through the forest, and took the time to check their firearms and ammunition. Some veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles even rested carelessly against the big trees. The so-called
Even if the sky wants to take you down, you can't stop it. If you are destined to sacrifice in the next battle, then cherish the time you are alive. If you survive, it will not affect your rest now.
The Soviet army rested in an orderly manner, and the scattered soldiers also found their own camps. Soon, the Soviet army deployed nearly 20,000 troops on a five-kilometer-wide front, and the elite troops of the Guerrilla Republic were here.
Especially when it was almost two o'clock, the middle-aged and elderly troops transporting ammunition and supplies successfully arrived at the current frontline camp of the Soviet army. They carried thousands of recoilless rifle shells and RPG warheads, and the Soviet army obtained
A vital supplement that further improved the morale of the soldiers.
The German army was in a very bad state. Although they had repelled an attack by the Soviet army, uneasiness still spread among all the officers and soldiers. When will the Soviet army attack, will they use terrifying rockets? Especially those who collapsed
After their spirits recovered, they immediately told the friendly troops of the 707th Division about their tragic experiences.
"Those damn fools, are they trying to destroy my morale?"
An angry Lawrence ordered the defeated soldiers to shut up. But who is not curious about what happened to these poor people? Lawrence's ban was very weak. The order did not achieve any good results, but further made the soldiers suspicious. In the end, Lawrence could only
Being able to lament that a person's words are scary, gradually, his confidence also continues to decrease.
"The Russians, are they really using those kind of rockets?"
Lawrence reported his experience, and the successful blocking battle greatly surprised the division commander Hertzman. Hertzman even made the report to the group army even more jealous. In order to show the strength of his own troops, he actually reported that he had annihilated a thousand enemies.
At this point in the battle, the German top brass no longer cared about whether the intelligence on the front line was true. They needed a victory so much to improve the morale of the troops fighting back against the guerrillas everywhere. Of course, Hertzman did not know the real situation, and he could not.
Determine whether Lawrence exaggerated the results of the war. It is undeniable that the officer he tried to protect really made his unlucky 707th Division look bad.
The situation on the front line was very delicate. In his uneasiness, Lawrence waited until half past two in the afternoon. He didn't think there was anything special about this time. He even thought that the Soviet army might not attack.
However, when the sentry held up a high-powered telescope and noticed unidentified "moving cubes" emerging from several groups of woods in the south, all the German soldiers, following the whistle alarm trend, entered the low foxholes they dug one after another.
Lawrence was afraid of being hit by a stray bullet, so he hid half of his body under the roots of a pine tree, holding a telescope and staring at a "moving cube", trembling all over.
Aren't those the special armored vehicles used to report broken troops? There were a large number of figures beside them. Because they were far away, completely outside the maximum range of the mortar, he couldn't see clearly.
The Soviet army attacked again. At 2:30 in the afternoon, they dispatched a large number of troops!
Lawrence gritted his teeth. There would be a fierce battle next! He called all the communications soldiers to his side and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You must notify the order to each company and order the company commander to stick to the current position. Without my order, even if
Even if we fight to the last soldier, we are not allowed to retreat!"
Could issuing such an order urge his men to fight to the death? Lawrence had some ominous premonitions. It was not impossible that the troops would be unable to withstand the enemy's attack and suffer a complete rout.
As the first echelon of the Soviet troops in the second round of the attack, they were led by the second regiment of the 284th Division under Lavrenty. The remnants of Roshakov from the first regiment also joined the attack. The strength of the first echelon was nearly
There are three thousand people, and each soldier has relatively rich combat experience.
The first echelon was further divided into the "General Combat Group" and the "Special Combat Group". This was Lavrenti's temporary decision. The "Special Combat Group" had only one integrated battalion, and they followed seventeen armored trucks and tanks.
As in the morning battle, the vehicle was followed by a platoon of infantry. Once the "special operations group" approached the enemy's position, the general group launched an all-out attack, followed by the rhythm of an entire army assault.
