Four hundred and fortieth chapters siege three towers and one tactics
At four o'clock in the morning, the coldest moment of the day, the temperature was minus two degrees.??
The weather has gradually warmed up, and the time has quietly entered March. The soldiers of the 284th Division were busy with the war, and even forgot that February had passed. After waking up, Yevlov recalled the events of more than ten days, which was really thrilling. "
I just ordered the reconnaissance company to retaliate against the German planes, but it turned into a regional decisive battle?" How exactly the battle situation developed like this can only be thought about after the war.
I saw a large number of soldiers preparing their bedding, blankets bundled with hemp rope, and carrying their ammunition and rations on their backs.
The frost on the rifle was wiped off, and many people were checking the bolt. The machine gunner opened the bolt to make sure that no dust entered the chamber...
Suddenly, several roars broke all the tranquility, and three BT light tanks started. Searchlights were installed on their fronts, and the sudden light made many soldiers uncomfortable. The lights illuminated the road in the direction of advancement, and the soldiers also took action.
Each battalion lined up and prepared to go out.
The soldiers acted quickly and without any sloppiness. With this performance, Yevlov also believed that they were well prepared for a decisive battle.
"That's it, the whole army moves forward!" Yevlov gave the order, and three tanks came out first, followed closely by jeeps with spare fuel and used to transport heavy weapons, followed by infantry lined up in four columns.
All tanks and vehicles emerged from the hidden forest, and the entire army marched on the forest plains at a speed of five kilometers per hour. Before leaving, Yevlov also ordered to contact Yang Mingzhi, and the two armies once again determined their direction.
At this time, Yang Mingzhi had to be awakened from his dream. In theory, the division commander's reinforcements could arrive when the sun rose. Maybe today would be the day of the decisive battle!
Then there was no reaction from the Germans?
Of course, Wolfe sent some scouts to deploy outside the position, but unfortunately all the scouts were killed by Balzen's men with cold weapons. It was night, and the scouts did not come back, so Wolfe didn't think much about it.
This forest is very vast. They may have lost their way and they will naturally find their way back after daybreak.
The order given to this man was to hold the position for two days. Two days would be enough time for the retreating people to return to the road defense line. After the friendly forces were safe, the Wolf regiment immediately retreated. However, these two days were not necessarily peaceful, and their superiors also knew that the Soviet army
We are in action, but we no longer have any extra troops!
In the German positions, ordinary soldiers slept in the trenches wrapped in blankets. Most of them set up tents on the top of the trenches, relying on the "semi-crypt" houses to resist the wind and cold. Many people were exhausted after working all day.
The quality of sleep was also very good.
The only ones who suffer are the machine gunners who are still holding on. They are equipped with several machine guns and night vision goggles. High-tech equipment helps them no longer worry about the enemy suddenly attacking at night.
Every move of the German army was observed by Balzen's people. Even at night, soldiers returned to the camp every hour to report the situation. Of course, the report must be that everything was safe. Even if there was an emergency, the majority of soldiers could respond instantly
Entering combat mode, after all, guns are right next to them.
Yang Mingzhi and Roshakov did not rest anymore. They had already begun to study the strategies and tactics of how to arrange this annihilation war when the division commander arrived.
As the deputy division commander and chief of staff, Yang Mingzhi has absolute say, and he already knows how the subsequent battle will be fought.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sky turns blue and the sun is about to rise. The temperature rises a little and the forest is filled with morning fog.
The soldiers sent out in advance to meet Yevlov had already completed their reception. When these soldiers saw the tank at the head, they were so excited that they believed that the next battle would be victorious.
"Commander, please follow us. The tank troops will march for a while and then hide in the forest. The infantry will follow us into the forest camp. Comrade Deputy Division Commander has been waiting for a long time."
Yevlov nodded and immediately followed the soldiers' instructions.
In this way, the four new fully-equipped infantry battalions entered the forest, and almost all the combat forces of the 284th Division gathered together.
Yang Mingzhi finally met his old comrades again. The two chatted for a while, but Yevlov asked anxiously: "Have you figured out the battle plan? I brought four battalions plus a tank platoon, and the whole army was two thousand
Five hundred people.”
"The plan is already in place! Since Comrade Division Commander is so anxious, we will hold a combat meeting now! If you are willing, the war will begin today!"
Yevlov called his four battalion commanders by name, so that there were twelve battalion commanders participating in the military meeting, and the total number of troops under his command was as high as 6,500!
Everyone sat in a circle, and Yang Mingzhi stood in the center of the circle, making a simple sand table out of wooden blocks and clay balls, so that everyone could order their tasks.
There is no red tape here, and Yang Mingzhi explains the tasks straight to the point.
"In this operation, we want to annihilate the enemy in front of us. They must have never appeared before and participated in the encirclement and suppression of our fourth infantry regiment. The enemy has built fortifications on the forest plains. This operation looks very much like our army.
Previously we blocked the battle between the two regiments of the 715th Division, but now we are on the offensive.
I decided to divide the army into three parts, which is equivalent to dividing the army into three infantry regiments.
Comrade division commander, you lead the new comrades to attack from the front, that is, from the south of the enemy's position, with tanks leading the attack.
Roshakov, you lead your men to attack from the enemy's west side.
And I attack from the enemy's north.
If our army attacks from three directions at the same time, the enemy will definitely be unable to withstand it! A rout will occur!"
"Then to the east of the enemy's position, since it is a battle of annihilation, why is there no attack planned there?" Yevlov asked curiously.
"Because of the surrounding three towers." Yang Mingzhi said this word purely in Chinese. "The formation I arranged this way is based on ancient tactics. The east side of the enemy's position was deliberately left. This will prevent the enemy from fighting to the end. Just imagine, what if the dilemma
When the enemy found that there was no resistance to the east, they must have rushed there. They thought they could escape this way, but actually, think about it, what is there to the east?!"
"It's the Dnieper River!" Battalion Commander Lavrenti said immediately.
As soon as the words fell, smiles suddenly appeared on people's faces. Everyone had clearly realized the viciousness of the deputy division commander's tactics. However, Yevlov was still a little confused, "You'd better tell me your final plan! I don't think so.
Too complex tactics."
Yang Mingzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "Comrade division commander still needs to learn war in war. To the east of us is the Dnieper River. Before we defeated the enemy's armored battalion, the enemies trapped by the river jumped into the river and swam. As a result, a large number of enemies drowned. Now
The temperature of the river water is still bitingly cold, and it is very close to the river. We can once again use water instead of troops, so that our military casualties will be minimized."
Only then did Yevlov suddenly realize that when the captured battalion commander Niklaus was interrogated, it was revealed that hundreds of his soldiers jumped into the river and most of them drowned!
Yevlov said with satisfaction: "I already understand, but the enemy's position seems to be very stable. So this time I also brought the weapons you need most."
"Really?" This was beyond Yang Mingzhi's expectation. Yevlov brought the recoilless artillery shells that the army needed most, as well as the latest RPG warhead off the production line. (To be continued.) 8
