The soldiers did not sleep again that night. They fired retaliatory shots in the direction of the city. At the same time, they were worried that the Soviet army would come again. Anger and fear were combined. When everyone's mood was like this, then
This kind of battlefield anxiety directly triggered a small camp roar.
Some soldiers howled like crazy, and some held their heads and laughed strangely. Hoffman faced these people angrily, and they all fell to the ground, almost mentally collapsed.
"Report to the leader, these are the people who shot other people at night. They probably mistook their comrades for Soviets!"
The actions of these guys caused more casualties to the troops. Hoffman turned his back regretfully, and corpses were neatly stacked in front of him. "You know what to do, Richard. If your people make mistakes, they will be punished."
They will be imprisoned and their guilt will be determined by a military court."
The German soldiers collected corpses one by one, collecting as many as fifty in total. To make matters worse, more than fifty people were injured, and the wailing sounds are still there to this day.
When the artillery exploded, Hoffman was so angry that he ordered a counterattack at dawn. At that time, it was an angry word, but now he could not suppress the fury in his heart, and the troops continued to attack.
Just as the German soldiers were preparing to advance, Freud personally went to the camp of his colleagues. His visit was really to investigate what happened during the night.
In Hoffman's camp, he saw the army preparing, casually asked a few soldiers, and got the order to attack.
"This guy actually wants to continue fighting now?" Floyd stepped up his pace and was finally in front of Hoffman.
When they met, Freud didn't say any polite words or even words of comfort. He went straight to the point: "I object to your plan to attack Homnage now! Even if you are attacked by the enemy, you must not act like you are provoked."
The bull raised its horns hard."
"Oh? Are you scared?" Hoffman asked very calmly.
"Afraid? Of course I'm not afraid. If it's a war, I will fight until I die! But you also have to look at your soldiers!"
Hoffman turned his head symbolically, "I saw that my dear soldiers were preparing to attack. They were all checking their firearms and ammunition, planning to kill all the enemies and avenge their dead comrades."
Floyd Zhou frowned and simply put his arms on the shoulders of his colleagues. "Do you really have people who take good care of you? Is their morale really good? How do we attack?! This group of Soviet troops is based on the division headquarters' instructions.
Intelligence, they are regular troops. Without tanks and aircraft, we would have to pay a huge price to capture Homnich!"
"But isn't our mission to capture this city?" Hoffman. "I've had enough now! The division headquarters ordered us to confront each other. It would be better if we could defeat them. But now, we are like a tortoise.
The enemy can attack at any time. In the end, we will all be killed by them in the snow!"
"No! We are not cowardly turtles. And you are completely an enraged bull, facing a group of cowboys. Don't think you can camp by rushing over. Behind the red cloth, they are holding short spears in their hands.
.”
"It's up to you!" Hoffman pushed him away, "I'm going to attack anyway. If we are still friends, you can follow me and attack together!"
Seeing how determined this man was, Hoffman even wanted to go to the front line personally to urge the troops to attack. However, his troops were too small, and the enemy had an advantage if he was on the defensive. If he was allowed to attack alone, the losses would be immeasurable.
Floyd stamped his foot, "You are really damned! You are really damned! Now I have no choice. If you attack, I must attack with you."
"Excellent." A smile appeared at the corner of Hoffman's lips. "The offensive route remains unchanged. This time your and my troops must attack like chisels. We must not divide our troops. Once we attack the city, we will dominate."
I don’t know where Hofmann came from to be so confident that after entering the city, even if there was a street battle, the German army would have the upper hand.
In this way, after a few small preparations, the German army began a new offensive.
…
The cold north wind continues to blow across the land. In the past few days, the highest daytime temperature has been close to zero, and the weather is showing signs of warming up.
After the sneak attack was successful in the early morning, Klavsky led his men to run away. When the enemy's counterattack firepower began to shoot at the retreating troops, only three people were hit in the end, and only one unlucky guy was hit and died.
.
But in terms of results, this sneak attack was a huge success.
Klavsky returned from the journey, and the victorious soldiers each received breakfast and ate it deliciously. But as a commander, he did not dare to neglect at all.
In the face of Roshakov's inquiry, in addition to reporting the approximate results of the battle, Klavsky also expressed his worries: "The ultimate goal of this group of enemies is still to occupy this city, and we must have angered them now.
, I am very worried that they will get angry and attack us again."
"If that's the case, we can only continue to be next to each other." Roshakov said. "Our mission is to hold back the enemy in front of us. If they come to attack us, it is actually the best. The more intense the fighting here, the deputy
The division commander’s actions will provide additional protection.”
This worry is very reasonable. The soldiers who have just returned from the battle must re-enter the position and take the opportunity to rest and wait for the unknown all day long.
The two officers also entered the trenches with the ordinary soldiers, both holding telescopes to observe the distance.
"If the enemy attacks, your battalion will still guard the left wing, and my battalion will guard the right wing. Ninelli's militia and tanks serve as reserves and will be added to the front line at any time." Rosakov explained the defense plan this way.
With the previous blocking battles, we all know a lot about some of the tactics of the German army in front of us. Their attacks are very fierce, but it is this fierceness that may become their weakness.
To this end, the Soviet army established a concave position on the wide front. When the enemy attacked, soldiers on both wings laid an ambush and opened fire quickly after they entered a semi-encircled circle.
This measure has been completed. It was originally to guard against the enemy's subsequent offensive. Unexpectedly, the enemy's attack also came suddenly.
Roshakov held up his binoculars. In the due north, a group of dark things were approaching the city. "Commander! Order all troops! Prepare to fight immediately! This group of enemies who do not know whether to live or die, we will deal with them according to the established plan!"
In the front-line positions, the sound of pulling bolts can be heard everywhere. These soldiers no longer care about raw silk, even if the death rate on the front line remains high. They are already planning to shed their last drop of blood for the Patriotic War.
On the other hand, the morale of the German soldiers was low, and they were ordered to move forward. Before leaving, Hoffman and Freud finally unified their opinions and reported to the division headquarters.
This sudden attack was not at all what division commander Schultz meant. "You should obey my order and continue to hold on to prevent Homnich's Soviet regular army from attacking Lechica or Gomel."
But Hoffman still decided to disobey the order. He said: "That is simply a trap! The Soviet army is not a large force at all. Their purpose must be to delay us so that the main force can fight on the other line. Now the enemy has taken the initiative to attack us
At the position, our artillery has been completely wiped out, the battle has begun, and I must defend myself and counterattack."
In other words, Hoffman's intelligence claimed that he was already in a state of war. If he continued to carry out the previous orders, it would be equivalent to sitting there and being beaten by the enemy. At this moment, Schultz was also in a state of distress. He didn't think much and simply agreed with them.
Behavior. "In that case, you guys fight me! For the sake of glory, fight me Homnich!"
The new order was like this. Floyd was in a dilemma before. Unexpectedly, the division commander was moved by the words of his colleagues. Now, including his regiment, the German army must attack Homnich.
The troops have already taken action, and the remaining half-track armored vehicles are clearing the way and advancing together with the German troops presenting a skirmish line. (To be continued.) 8
