Chapter 178 After the reconnaissance plane was shot down
Hans knew that he would not be able to escape the interrogation. Before that, Henschel, who was also captured, said many things that only a traitor would say.
Originally, Hans was not a diehard. To be loyal to the Führer was a matter for the SS. As a pilot who was not even allowed to fly a fighter jet, for the sake of the future, he really should consider what Henschel said. At least he could still be alive.
.
After a while, he was carried into the interrogation room by two soldiers.
Because this person should still be German, Yelentina still had to get on the horse herself.
The interrogation went surprisingly smoothly, and Hans explained his purpose of coming without reservation, which was to conduct aerial reconnaissance.
"Very well. I thought I would have to whip you or threaten you with castration with a knife before you would tell me the information."
What this Soviet woman said was so terrifying! If she didn’t confess honestly, and if she didn’t talk about the dignity of a soldier, or even the dignity of a man, this woman would be deprived of her.
Hans was happy for himself, but telling him the information would be considered a traitor.
Seeing the strange expression on his face, Yelentina immediately said: "You are our enemy, but if you cooperate with us, your life can be protected by our Red Army. I advise you to tell everything you know and
Cooperate sincerely, it will be good for you."
Hans thought about it, experienced some ideological struggle, and decided to cooperate.
"Okay. I am an ordinary pilot affiliated with the 715th Division. The division commander ordered me to fly a reconnaissance plane to carry out reconnaissance."
"715th Division? Your division commander Schultz is much smarter than the previous 707th Division. I thought you already knew our location, but I didn't expect that you would still conduct reconnaissance every three days."
"We don't know your exact location at all." Hans said loudly, "We only know that there must be a strong guerrilla force in the swamp."
"Guerrillas. Yes, what we do as guerrillas is actually an organized unit." Yelentina didn't have to hide anything from this person, "We are the 284th Guards Infantry Division, and we have the title of Guards.
So it’s very powerful in combat!”
Hans was stunned. Most of the German soldiers knew about the title of Guards. This was the elite unit of the Soviet army.
It was reasonable for such a unit to defeat the 707th Division, and he immediately learned that the results of this unit were even more exaggerated, and it could be called the Soviet ace.
Jelentina had already received a lot of information from Henschel, and Hans repeated what he said a lot. But this should be corrected, Henschel's words were true.
She immediately felt much more at ease. She had the nearest enemy number, troop allocation, and approximate location of the defense. This information could confirm its authenticity.
"So Hans, are you willing to cooperate with us? I need a definite answer from you." Yelentina finally asked.
At this moment, if you refuse to cooperate, you will definitely die. The intelligence said, how much is your use value?
"Yes, I agree to cooperate. I cooperate sincerely!"
"Well, you and your comrades can dig potatoes together and dig for your rations." Yelentina emphasized again: "You'd better know the current situation. Don't think about escaping. Here the soldiers can follow my orders and not kill.
You, and the villagers outside the military camp have a deep hatred for you Germans."
After Hans leaves, Jelentina can start to organize the information, and then return to the division headquarters for a meeting.
The new intelligence was placed on the table, and Yang Mingzhi took a look at it. "Now that the enemy has changed, they are more proactive. I think the enemy's large-scale military action is completely reasonable."
Several people present completely agreed with the possibility of war mentioned by Yang Mingzhi.
Yevlov dragged his chin, as if he was wise: "This has been twice, and the enemy's reconnaissance direction has not changed. This time we also captured the camera, but all the documents were burned. If the documents were sent back by the enemy, what would happen to us?
We are at a disadvantage."
"That Hans burned the film. Now even if he escapes, the information will not be sent out." As she said that, Yelentina leaned on her chair, looking relieved.
"But the two reconnaissance operations of the German army failed. They still got the information!" Yang Mingzhi said.
Failure is sometimes a kind of proof. It is like a minesweeper game. There is definitely a circle of numbers around the mines. The concept of computer games is still early, and Yang Mingzhi believes that the enemy will mark the location of failure on the map.
"We must strengthen our war preparations now." Yang Mingzhi looked at everyone with alert eyes and received complete approval.
Military training must be strengthened, militiamen must have more time to train, arsenals must step up production, and the production of other military supplies and field rations must also keep up.
These plans were executed by Yelentina and Fomin, and suddenly all the collective farms and military camps were filled with a cloud of war.
Propaganda departments promoted simple yet alarming slogans: The enemy is preparing for war, and we must all take action.
On the other hand, the radio station was actually on before Anthony fell.
He did not report the situation of the air battle. The explosions and the roar of machine gun bullets were all heard by the Germans. With the final explosion, communications were completely interrupted.
The Germans fully understood that this was an attack and someone had shot down the reconnaissance plane.
Division commander Schultz was finally able to confirm, and he immediately summoned all his staff officers.
"This aerial reconnaissance failed again. The enemy has anti-aircraft weapons. The enemy's equipment must be very powerful. We also know the specific location."
Schulz was completely convinced that the attackers in Chenoby City and the attackers along the highway were them.
"So what are their exact identities? Are they guerrillas or regular troops?" the chief of staff asked. "We don't know this at all."
"Then give them a name. Let's call them Swamp Guerrillas. They are powerful and pose a huge threat."
There are a large number of guerrillas active in Belarus, and even in the city of Minsk, there are traces of guerrilla activities. The German army has to fight these invisible enemies. The so-called peaceful occupied areas do not exist at all. The killings of occupying soldiers
It has never stopped. The German army's liquidation operation against the guerrillas will inevitably consume energy. This is exactly the task of the guerrillas, which is to provide huge resistance to the German army.
Therefore, the guerrilla troops from the Pripet Swamp area became a prominent representative, and the German army did not believe that this was an organized unit.
In this way, Schulz discussed with the officers and staff, and the 284th Guards Division got the German name "Swamp Guerrilla Brigade", and reported this name to the German Staff Headquarters, so that Hitler also knew about this damned unit.
"The Cancer of the Occupied Territories".
A stable rear is very important to the German army. The Battle of Moscow is now in a critical period. If the communication line is threatened and attacked, it will be very fatal!
As Yang Mingzhi guessed, a plan to clean up the guerrillas in southern Belarus was already being drawn up. This was due to the serious troop strength problem in the rear of the German army and the frequent attacks by guerrillas in other places.
The German crusade was not yet time. The order given to the 715th Division was to strictly guard the safety of the Mozyr-Lechicha road.
The commander of the Belarusian occupation zone even ordered: "If another town is attacked, or the convoy is attacked, the division commander will be arrested by the Gestapo!" (To be continued.) u
