Chapter 376 Reconnaissance Company Infiltrated the Airport
Natasha herself, she is still alive and kicking.┡Ω
She slept very soundly on the eve of the night attack. Ordinary recruits are often so nervous that they cannot close their eyes when they learn that they are about to participate in a bloody battle. As a veteran, Natasha fell into a deep sleep, and her body was fully rested.
It wasn't until midnight that the entire army got up and rushed to the battlefield.
The moon is gradually rising, there are not many clouds in the sky, the bright moonlight shines on the earth, the unmelted snow reflects the light, and the visibility on the entire earth is not bad.
Time passed minute by minute and finally reached midnight.
After Balzen woke up, he immediately called everyone up.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat dry food and organize all the equipment. We will take action immediately in twenty minutes."
After Natasha got the order, she immediately rolled up her stall. She didn't have to carry it herself. Igor did all the physical work. While helping the girl tidy up the house, he said: "Natasha, you do the final inspection.
Check your equipment, wipe the barrel of the gun clean, and check the magazine for dirt. Install the muzzle brake and bipod now."
It was not up to him to do these necessary tasks. Natasha knew what to do. She patted her face, sobered up, ate some dry food, and began to check the firearm. In future battles, this sniper rifle will have a great impact.
Use it to kill enemy searchlights and other key targets.
Therefore, the girl must not be too tired during the march. She is traveling lightly, and this sniper rifle is the most critical.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and Balzen ordered the entire army to assemble, form two columns of units, and begin to advance.
Among them, the second platoon was the leading soldier. Even though the light was very dim, they still found the correct route - the daytime reconnaissance route.
Soon, the entire army entered the forest road. The second platoon leader suddenly stopped and informed everyone: "The troops are getting closer and closer to the enemy's airport. Everyone must remain vigilant to prevent contact with enemy sentries."
In any case, a gunshot at night was enough to alert the enemy. Balzen ordered the soldiers to be cautious and turn off the safety on all firearms to prevent misfires.
However, the second platoon leader was indeed unfounded. These German troops were not their most elite front-line troops. They had poor training and even less vigilance. Even if they used all available manpower and material resources to build their defenses in a short period of time.
The pits were dug and the barbed wire fences were stretched. Where was the most critical person? Because it was too cold at night, those temporary machine gun fortresses were simply ineffective at night. There was no other reason. Some people deserted and went back to the dormitory to sleep, while some people
Wrap yourself like a rice dumpling.
As for the patrol teams in the forest, they had returned a long time ago. As for those who had not returned, it did not cause much alarm, because there were indeed patrol teams simply camping in the forest.
If we talk about the most vigilant sentry, it can only be the wooden tower in the airport, and the team responsible for searchlights. There are two wooden towers in the entire airport, and their main task is to be responsible for flight dispatching. At night, the searchlights are turned on for night warning.
When the second platoon was conducting reconnaissance, the searchlights of the two towers would become the main targets of the night attack. Natasha followed the troops, holding the gun barrel tightly, knocking out the headlights, blinding the Germans, and she was the biggest
The task is completed.
Night marching would be a disaster for ordinary troops. Fortunately, under the command of Yang Mingzhi, the 284th Division's daily training must include marching exercises in the forest, including night marches.
The entire army arrived at the target at 1:40 in the morning and had a panoramic view of the enemy's airport.
Balzen pouted: "There are so many enemy aircraft. Stuka, BF1o9, PO transport aircraft, there is at least one brigade of this size."
Natasha's sketch was already very intuitive. Until now, Balzen had seen the whole German army with his own eyes and couldn't help but feel awe. Speaking of airports, this is the airport. The one in the bombed Catfish Village is the army
A large playground for gatherings.
Balzen personally picked up the telescope and conducted another investigation. Under the moonlight, the enemy's fortifications were vaguely visible.
There were still a few dots in those trenches. He immediately ordered: "Natasha, aim at those yellow lights and see what they are!"
Natasha immediately put down her bipod. She had fully entered sniper mode. She adjusted the focus, and in the dim light, she suddenly realized that they were Germans. "Report to the company commander, they are Germans, they are smoking!"
"What the hell, the enemy isn't sleeping yet?!"
Balzen immediately called the four platoon commanders, re-emphasized the mission, and ordered the entire army to rest in place until 2:30, and then start taking action.
After smoking for only five minutes, Natasha continued to monitor, and the Germans who were smoking actually climbed out of the post-war, supported each other and walked toward the building. Could they have been drinking? If so, their
The vigilance is also very poor.
Balzen was also paying attention. As time went by, the entire airport was almost deserted. This could not be a trap. The enemy was just too careless. The entire airport, and the people who currently control the searchlights, are still busy.
The other enemies should all be asleep.
Looking at the watch, the time finally reached two-thirty in the morning. Balzen first said to Natasha: "Dear, the sniper team is set up here, you and Igor don't wander around. When the battle is over, we will be here too
Convergence.”
The girl nodded, and she and her partner immediately formally established a sniper position.
Balzen looked at the soldiers he was waiting for and ordered the action to begin.
The four platoons will each perform their duties, three infantry platoons will break into the front line, and the artillery platoon will establish a position not far in front of Natasha.
Therefore, mortar and recoilless gun positions were established first, and the range of artillery fire was enough to cover a radius of 1.5 kilometers, almost covering the entire airport.
The soldiers of the other three platoons formed an offensive formation and hunched forward towards their respective targets. However, the Germans were not aware of all this.
The soldiers used a vise to cut the enemy's barbed wire. The second platoon leader had to lament that the barbed wire laid by the Germans was too poor. Otherwise, the enemy was letting workers work. People who had not received systematic training were pulling the barbed wire purely.
It's coping.
The barbed wire fences were cut short one after another, and soldiers filed in.
Several soldiers in the second row, carrying submachine guns on their backs, manual shovels in their left hands, and military spears in their right hands, broke into the trench and immediately began to sweep away.
As the soldiers expected, not all the German defenders had gone to the mission quarters. Some people were hiding in the trenches to rest. They were very tired after working for too long, and they all fell into a deep sleep. At this moment, the Soviet soldiers arrived and died immediately
Coming. The military spurs pierced the throats of these German soldiers, followed by the blow of the military shovel.
A trench was suddenly cleared like this, and the entire army successfully broke through the first line of defense and officially entered the airport.
At this point, the three infantry platoons immediately ran towards their respective targets. Along the way, only the enemy's searchlights were harassing them. Unfortunately, before those guys arrived, the Soviet guerrillas who were guarding day and night were killing them right in front of their eyes.
, its goal is even more crazy - blow up all the planes!
Now, Balzen personally led the third platoon, and he personally went to kill the enemy's command center.
At this moment, the sleeping German pilots do not know that death is coming. (To be continued.) 8
