Chapter 360 A large wave of Soviet troops is approaching
"You mean, the purpose of this elite Soviet force is to attack our airport?" Schultz, who was lying on his stomach, slowly stood up and asked the chief of staff after carefully studying the map.
"That's right. The identities of these enemies have been determined, and their corpses were also tied with leggings. This feature can only prove that they are enemies from the swamp. Furthermore, judging from the casualties we suffered, only this unit
It can cause us such great trauma."
"How dare you say this? My honor has been trampled on by the same enemy again."
The veins on Schulz's forehead were bursting with veins. Three battalions could not defeat one of them, and the previous two regiments could not defeat one of their regiments. After being defeated again and again, his self-confidence was about to collapse!
Swag paused for breath: "No matter what, there is no way for our soldiers to be inferior in combat. Even if they are equipped with heavy weapons and the most advanced rocket-propelled grenade system, our firepower cannot actually keep up with the enemy. Moreover,
Judging from the quality of the soldiers, we are also at a disadvantage. So the problem we are facing now is very difficult."
"That is to say, we did not destroy them, so this enemy will attack the airport."
"That's for sure." Swager immediately listed the battles that had taken place on this highway. These battles almost made Schultz's ears ring with pain.
The teacher thought for a moment.
He knew the composition of the three battalions he sent. They were a group of logistics soldiers whose combat effectiveness could not be trained into a so-called elite force in a short period of time. Furthermore, in order to deal with forest warfare, the search team was equipped with a large number of submachine guns, so that these logistics battalions
, its equipped submachine guns have been greatly reduced.
Before 1940, out of a ten-man infantry squad in Germany, except for the machine gunner and auxiliary shooter, the other eight were all equipped with Mauser rifles. Later, submachine gunners were added, so that they could be used in small-scale battles, such as urban street fighting and forest stations.
, the sustainability of the German army's firepower is simply worrying. Once the machine gunner is shot or the machine gun is damaged, the infantry's firepower is at its limit.
It was this decision to lose sight of the other. For example, in Sverin's battalion, the machine gunners were accurately shot one after another, the tanks could not be pushed into the battlefield deep in the dense forest, and the submachine guns were withdrawn in large numbers. After losing RPG guns and mortars,
, the last three protrusions were destroyed, and the German army's firepower advantage was gone.
At this moment, Schulz thought of a bunch of excuses and used them to report to his superiors.
He knew very well that with the current manpower and material resources of the 715th Division, it was simply impossible to deal with the "Swamp Guerrilla Brigade" on its own. In terms of its combat effectiveness, if they were not the elite main force of the Soviet army, then the Soviet army would have no main force.
He confirmed again and asked Swager: "Your meaning is very clear. The purpose of this Soviet army is to attack the airport?!"
"That's right! Their action must be this, but I still have some doubts. Since they are going to attack the airport, why must they fight to the death with our army? Do you think they are so confident? They are not afraid of tanks and assault guns, and they even
There is our RPG. Please report it to us, they are also equipped with the same RPG as ours!"
"The enemy's new weapons must have been brought in from their rear. Even the Soviets' previous airdrops brought them in!" Schultz slammed the table angrily, and he was very excited. Little did he know that if he knew about this Soviet troop
There were only one hundred and thirty-five people, and thirty-six people were sacrificed in the end to achieve such a huge victory. Maybe they would faint on the spot.
The enemy was very strong, and their target was the airport. But Schultz believed that after such a fierce battle, intelligence showed that the battle lasted for five hours. Regardless of the losses of our own troops, all the surviving soldiers were panting. The enemy
, these Soviet people are not gods, they are also very tired.
Schultz immediately made the decision to alert the airport.
Paul, on the other hand, has just returned to where he took off.
Air Force Captain Koch only asked for the accurate information he brought back. While Balzen was fighting fiercely with the enemy, Paul explained everything he knew.
Therefore, the bombing operation was about to begin, early the next morning.
That afternoon, all the pilots gathered, and Koch personally explained tomorrow's battle plan to them.
He particularly emphasized: "The enemies we face are very tenacious in combat. You cannot regard them as ordinary guerrillas. Never have such thoughts. They must be regular troops and even have their own numbers. Now, I don't care
What is their serial number? Now follow the route planned on the map to destroy their airport and cut off their air supply route!"
In the future battle, pilot Adler is determined to win. The last time he bombed Homnich, the result was unknown. Such an action without results left him with no sense of honor.
He and the majority of pilots have begun preparations. Ten dive bombers will be dispatched for this air strike. Considering that the Soviets may release fighter jets to counterattack, four more BF109s will be escorted.
Just as they were preparing, Captain Koch received an early warning from friendly forces.
"It's really crazy! These people are idiots. They can't even defend a road. What should we do now?" Koch yelled, which greatly surprised the people in the air command. When asked for details, people's faces said:
Full of shock.
Why? Because the defense force near the airport is very weak.
Schultz said in the communication that he had sent four battalions for reinforcements, and Nicklaus's tank troops also began to set off to reinforce the airport and strengthen its defenses.
Under the current situation, there is only one battalion of troops stationed in the airport area. In addition, there is a field hospital and some supporting facilities. After all, pilots require a higher standard of living. Some volunteers from Germany also live at the airport.
Next to the garrison area.
Koch only received this information at eight o'clock in the evening. He was like a cat with hair on end, and every pore stood on end. That night, he simply sounded the air raid siren.
A large number of people rushed out of the dormitory door, creating a real chaos.
Koch almost gave up on defending the airport. "Does everyone think that with a few divisions stationed, the airport will be absolutely safe?!" He wanted to curse and hit others, but at the most critical moment, his own people were dragging their feet.
Pulled.
The pilots could still dispatch quickly, but the technicians were much slower. And the troops stationed there were in complete chaos.
Everyone gathered at the airport. Koch decisively ordered to turn off the alarm and took the people to the airport in person.
He did not show that anger, because it was useless to be angry. He immediately announced to everyone the latest situation, that is, an elite Soviet force broke through the friendly lines and fought all the way to the airport.
Suddenly, there was a lot of whining in the crowd. "These idiots are all scared to death?!" At this moment, Koch has no choice. Even if it is a mob, the airport defense must be carried out!
This night may be a sleepless night. At this dangerous juncture, Koch ordered the pilots who will go on mission tomorrow to continue to rest. As for the remaining people, all the soldiers living near the airport, all those who can afford weapons, including the Germans
Ukrainian workers and Ukrainian workers loyal to Germany all took up arms and built a defensive offensive at this airport to prepare for a sudden war.
Therefore, the German army actually moved very quickly. Koch mobilized more than 800 people, including military family members and clerks, to build fortifications.
And what about Balzen? The reconnaissance company marched for another two hours, and everyone finally stopped.
Natasha's little head was dizzy because she was too exhausted. Most of the soldiers lost their tents, but the blankets were not thrown away. These military wool blankets looked very thin, but they were actually like insulation materials, and the soldiers were like flesh.
Wrapped like a rice dumpling, you can enjoy endless warmth.
So most people were too lazy to take off their backpacks, wrapped themselves in blankets and fell asleep immediately.
Balzen was no exception, but he had to arrange a sentry before going to sleep. He ordered the soldiers to load their bullets and ensure that they could quickly enter the battle at any time. After all, as the proverb goes - the enemy will not rest.
He went to check on Natasha and saw the girl nestled under a big tree that protected her from the cold wind, with temporary snow walls built on both sides of the snow. Natasha had fallen asleep, and she had
As ordered, the magazine of the sniper rifle was filled with bullets.
Balzen patted the girl's body and sighed: "You have worked really hard for today's battle. Just sleep peacefully tonight." (To be continued.) u
