Two German soldiers who were peeing were captured by the ambushed reconnaissance company soldiers. They were knocked unconscious and taken away, and were delivered directly to Balzen.?
At this moment, his second row retreated several hundred meters further. After all, according to the order, they were not allowed to alert the enemy.
The interrogation of the prisoners quickly began, and the Germans were shocked after they woke up. These two heard the questions in German, and the questions they asked were all about military intelligence. No matter how stupid they are, they know what these Soviets might be up to.
"Semyonovich, examine them carefully and let them tell everything they know." Balzen ordered.
But this Semyonovich had not been trained by Yelentina and did not know much about interrogation skills. He naively believed that as long as he asked, the Germans would explain everything. As a result, these two guys were very harsh.
"Company commander, they said they have no comment, what should I do? I know the deputy division commander is still waiting for information!"
"Then I'll let them say it!" Then, Balzen made a shocking move. He took out a dagger and stabbed one person's throat without hesitation. One prisoner fell in a pool of blood and convulsed.
This behavior frightened the other one, who was shivering. Semenovich understood the company commander's intention, and he said to the remaining prisoners: "If you are unwilling to cooperate, this is your fate. In fact, we already know that you are
The troops belonging to the 715th Division, your regiment commander and the infantry regiment are all defeated by us." Semyonovich did not say much, but this made the prisoner worried. The Soviets may already know too much.
He chose to cooperate and decisively betrayed his teammates in order to survive.
It's a pity that Balzen is not a kind person. In this bloodiest war, he is just a murderous demon. After asking for information, the last prisoner was also eliminated.
The situation has been found out. Hoffman's regiment not far away, this German army is not equipped with heavy weapons, including none of the battalion field guns. Such a unit is actually very abnormal. According to the prisoners' confession, this is their division commander.
Schulz's experience in many forest battles is that heavy weapons are not as good as fast-shooting light weapons. Because Hoffman's troops are equipped with more machine guns and mortars, the number of submachine guns in each squad is also more than
There is one more regular German infantry squad.
In addition, the German army is also equipped with their own version of RPG. As the technology becomes more popular, the German army will inevitably master it. Balzen is already used to it. Especially the warhead collision fuse of the German missile, which also has a safety pin, this unique design
Maybe they positioned this weapon as a high-end rifle grenade?
Balzen was satisfied, and he immediately reported to the headquarters and reported the results of his investigation.
The secret battle that took place in the forest at night was completely unknown to the sleeping Hoffmann and his men. He sent out many patrols and scouts. It was late at night, and most of the troops were camping in the forest. These people
Knowing that the enemy was only a few kilometers away, they all fell asleep because they were too exhausted. Only a few machine gunners continued to stand guard to guard against enemy sneak attacks.
If Yang Mingzhi decisively ordered the entire army to attack at this time, Hoffman's entire regiment would probably be wiped out. He was right to order the troops to continue to stand still. The enemy who did not take the initiative to attack either did not dare to act easily or was waiting for someone.
Balzen's report in the early morning confirmed this. More than 2,000 men of the German Freud Regiment were stepping up their advance, and they even marched at night for the first time.
Yang Mingzhi realized that the intelligence was particularly important. He had just seen the seizures sent back. Now that the intelligence was updated, he had to correct his judgment.
Each battalion commander was awakened, and Yang Mingzhi decided to hold an emergency combat meeting at two o'clock in the morning.
As soon as they heard that the enemy had increased their troops, everyone's expressions changed. To be precise, they began to worry, because once the enemy joined forces, there would be five thousand people in front of them!
Yang Mingzhi said seriously: "Everyone, please pat your cheeks and wake up. Don't make a bad face. We will fight even if the enemy increases their troops. Killing five thousand of them is too difficult for other troops, but it is too difficult for our 284th Division."
It’s not difficult. There will definitely be a big war in the next few days!” After that, he slapped his chest angrily like a gorilla. “This is the Gold Star Medal. Now it’s up to me, the hero of the Soviet Union, to continue to create new tactical victories!”
After everyone's emotions stabilized, Yang Mingzhi also began to deploy revised tactics.
The overall plan has not changed. The roundabout troops have added some recoilless guns as mobile heavy weapons to facilitate smooth flanking engagements with the enemy.
He also ordered Doronin to immediately adjust the firing angle and direction of the field artillery, and asked: "I don't know about these artillery pieces. What is their maximum range? I hope that in battle, they can provide long-distance fire support."
"
"It's thirteen kilometers, sir!" Doronin explained swornly, because these captured field guns have inscriptions on their barrels. "As artillerymen, we also learn the parameter configuration of German artillery. The inscriptions are engraved with Fk16na, German Army
It’s really widely used.”
When this person said this, Yang Mingzhi was extremely moved. Technical weapons must be mastered by technicians. This Doronin was obviously such a person.
Doronin even claimed that when he saw these field artillery during the day, he directly found the feeling of the past, so that he studied it for several hours. Now he can calculate the relationship between distance and elevation through mathematical calculations, and friendly forces
Call for support within the fire range, and the artillery shells can really hit it accurately.
Yang Mingzhi was really surprised to hear what he said: "Haha, once we encounter the enemy's reinforcements, let Balzen's people report the position to me, and your artillery can hit the shells?"
"This is inevitable." Doronin's confident face explained everything.
Yang Mingzhi patted him on the shoulder: "Very good. When these artillery pieces are brought back, your artillery battalion will also have a powerful weapon to suppress the camp!"
The combat meeting dispersed and everyone went back to rest. At this point, Yang Mingzhi had no more tasks. Before dawn, everyone's task was to recharge their batteries.
But! The German reinforcements are marching under the starry night!
That was Floyd's regiment. According to the order, he must advance at an accelerated pace. The whole army marched quickly and ran wildly on two legs. This was simply an abusive order. The majority of soldiers were unhappy. They could not object and had to grit their teeth and persist.
In fact, the soldiers of this regiment are very eager to fight. They suffered a lot of losses two months ago, and everyone hopes to take revenge and regain glory. Now the opportunity is in front of them, and they will attack once they join forces with Hoffman.
The pursuit of glory and pride even defeated the fear of death. Besides, Floyd's troops were supplemented by a large number of young people in their early twenties. Tell them about the bloody battlefield full of the smell of barbecue and gunpowder smoke.
It was a fool's errand. Even an armored battalion was wiped out, which did not cause these people to panic.
Not being afraid of death but still being able to endure the death order of running wildly in the starry night, Freud gained a little more confidence.
It was getting daylight. After Yang Mingzhi woke up, he immediately ordered the entire army to organize, because there might be a bloody fight during the day.
The soldiers arranged their equipment one after another, and Doronin also ordered the artillerymen to clean the captured artillery.
At this time, information from the reconnaissance company came again. Balzen remained calm, but his voice was trembling.
"The enemy has appeared! This is the report from the first platoon. They are lining up in the forest, and their marching direction must be to meet up with the Hoffmann regiment!"
This latest information made Yang Mingzhi completely stop slacking off. The first platoon kept recording their positions while marching. They detected the enemy and reported the very precise location where the enemy appeared.
Yang Mingzhi made a prompt decision. In addition to ordering all the soldiers to eat dry food immediately and prepare for battle, he took the radio operator and personally took the marked map and ran to Doronin's artillery position.
"Now follow this picture and immediately correct the angle of the artillery. I want to preemptively attack and kick off the battle!" (To be continued.) 8
