Chapter 162: Pyre Tactics Associated with the Soviet-Finnish War
Henschel, he is just an ordinary German military officer. ?? {
The unit he belongs to, the 715th Division, is deployed in the Minsk area. Judging from the number, this unit is the latest army to be formed. Because the soldiers are not very good, they have to stay in the occupied areas to maintain law and order.
Because the 707 Division suffered a severe attack from the guerrillas and the troops had to retreat to rest and recuperate, the 715 Division took over its work and stationed on the road line from Mozyr to Lechica.
Now, Henschel has a more important task. He leads a company of soldiers and a battalion of Soviet traitors serving the German army, with a total strength of more than 500. Their task is to advance in the heavy snow,
Search for that mysterious guerrilla group.
"The division commander regarded us as a group of detectives. They guessed that the mysterious guerrilla organization with powerful combat capabilities was in the swamp area, so they ordered us to search for it. This would undoubtedly be a risk to our own lives, not to mention the bad weather." Henschel
He complained to his subordinates again and again, causing all the soldiers to complain.
In addition, there were still light snowflakes floating in the sky, and the ground was even more snowy. Under such conditions, even advancing was difficult, and each soldier carried heavy supplies. It seemed that this unit was not conducting tactical reconnaissance, but an Antarctic expedition.
They groped forward in the heavy snow and set up camp in the snow at night.
Henschel built a short wall with snow to protect him from the wind and cold, and then set up a simple tent.
"We are like Eskimos, hiding in houses made of ice and snow to avoid the severe cold." Henschel could only enjoy the misery in such an environment, and others could only endure it silently.
Those traitors gave the Germans some experience in surviving in the icy and snowy environment, so that they would not freeze to death. After all, the lowest temperature at night could reach the terrifying minus 20 degrees, and the severe cold in Russia gave the Germans a powerful influence.
Henschel Cat was in the tent, thinking wildly. "The attacking friendly forces have not stopped attacking. They are still wearing single clothes. Winter military uniforms are now being transported eastward. As a result, when the heavy snow arrives, train transportation is greatly affected, and mules and horses are transported.
Almost interrupted." Just like the mission he is performing now, it seems that his superiors are too optimistic about this war.
The cold environment has to be endured by lower-level soldiers. A group of well-fed officers and bureaucrats sit in front of the fireplace drinking black tea, and then plan military operations on the map. In the end, it is ordinary soldiers who have to fight.
However, this is the duty of a soldier.
Henschel was not a staunch Nazi. He really didn’t understand the group of young children, some of whom were eager to join the SS as soon as they reached adulthood. Could it be because of their youthful vigor? It is true that their fighting style is really like that of Teutonic warriors.
feeling, and the treatment of prisoners of war was equally cruel.
It has been several days since he led more than 500 people. Due to road conditions, the distance traveled every day was not far, and he had to eat a lot of food to replenish the calories consumed.
Henschel didn't know yet that their goal was to go south from the northern highway and go deep into the swamps. Their movement had been discovered by the ambushed Soviet scouts, and the information had been passed back.
On the other hand, Yang Mingzhi named two battalions of the Second Regiment to participate in the battle. In his opinion, these two battalions were sharp knife battalions, and the battalion commanders and many veterans were old subordinates who were loyal to him.
Fighting in heavy snow, the war scene must be extremely cruel, so elite soldiers must be dispatched.
In this battle, the enemy's route of action has been learned by the scouts. Facts have proved that it is very wise to set up outposts outside the base area, and the radio signals can be returned immediately.
The morning meeting has ended, and Yang Mingzhi returned to his residence. At this time, the security company was already checking combat readiness, and they also wanted to participate in this operation.
"The reconnaissance company, the guard company, Lavlenji's battalion, and Yevgeny's battalion, more than a thousand people were dispatched, and they defeated one of the enemy's battalions. The battle victory is guaranteed." Yang Mingzhi looked at them with satisfaction, and saw a girl also sorting things out.
Luggage.
That was Natasha. If the order was given to the security company, it was reasonable for a female sniper like her to participate. Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction and did not disturb her work. But in this operation, Yang Mingzhi also planned to
It is necessary to bring your wife with you, whether you are a sniper or a medic.
Now that Yang Tao is still in the hospital, Yang Mingzhi knows that he must finalize the battle plan, and he is not given much time.
Yang Mingzhi closed the door to his house and sat in front of the desk thinking about countermeasures.
He didn't work behind closed doors, nor did he have to use his brains desperately. Because of the weather conditions and geographical environment, there was a natural case for a war that happened not long ago.
It was the Soviet-Finnish War. The Soviet Union invaded Finland. As a result, Finland launched a forest guerrilla war adapted to local conditions. There were very few Finns, and the total number of troops that could participate in the war was only 200,000. The attacking Soviet army had millions of troops. They attacked in large groups.
As a result, they were confused by the Finnish army's guerrilla warfare.
They truly practiced guerrilla warfare tactics such as when the enemy retreats and we advance when the enemy is tired and we attack. These tactics have been used very well by some people in China. Even the Japanese invaders knew that Tubal Road was cunning and cunning.
"Belarus is as densely forested as Finland, and that war also started in heavy snow. Since the Finnish army can defeat the Soviet army with guerrilla warfare, the Soviet army can also follow suit. We must learn war in war!" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh, he was very happy
I admire my ability to associate.
The Finnish army was small and powerful, but the Russian army suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties and failed to completely defeat Finland militarily. In the end, they started a war of attrition of national power, which forced Finland to cede territory and surrender. As a result, Mustache launched a war against the Soviet Union.
, the Finns immediately joined the Axis powers to take revenge on the Soviet Union.
During the war, the Finns adopted "woodpile tactics." The so-called woodpile refers to the Finns' habit of logging. They first cut down the trees and piled them into piles, and then disposed of them later. It was like the ginseng diggers in the Northeast who showed up and tied up their bodies.
Red cloth, finally harvested together.
The Finns also dealt with the Soviet army in the same way. They divided large enemy columns, used guerrilla firepower to detect the combat effectiveness of each part, and then pinched the soft persimmons. This tactic is very similar to the Japanese army, dividing the enemy, and then
Concentrate superior forces and eat them one by one.
Of course, Yang Mingzhi not only knows this, he also has his own magic weapon.
The tactics were determined, namely "pyre tactics" and "circuit and insertion". If the enemy is coming aggressively, use this tactic, even if they are elite soldiers. However, if the enemy has an obvious flaw, then target the flaw.
The wave rushes over.
That's the plan, look at the clock it's only two o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's really early to finish the work!" Yang Mingzhi stretched himself and stood at the door. He saw the soldiers of the guard company still working hard to organize the housework.
"Soldiers! You should be careful. We have to sleep in the wild in this cold weather. You should keep warm and don't freeze to death!" Yang Mingzhi shouted loudly, earning a cry from the soldiers. They should have listened.
After all, everyone knows how terrible the cold is. Just like the group of catfish caught were frozen into hard "wood", there is no need to worry about death at all.
When Natasha heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Her brother was helping his sister pack up and couldn't help asking: "Sister, you also have to camp in the wild with those uncles. It's really cold outside."
Natasha's serious face suddenly became gentle, like a mother. She stroked her brother's little face: "Brother, don't worry, I will protect myself. You have to live with other children these days, what?
Don’t worry. Just wait quietly for me to come back.”
Kostya nodded silently.
Natasha sighed. Of course she didn't want to camp in the wild in the ice and snow, because it was too hard. In order to win a battle, she had to work so hard every time. Natasha couldn't help but look out the window, the man wearing a red tie
The tall man in the five-star cotton hat, the commander from China, has to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers again, which is really heart-breaking. (To be continued.) 8
