Chapter five hundred and sixty third Barzen emergency
As agreed, Lotharheim reported the cause of the afternoon shooting to the division headquarters. Division Commander Herzmann was deeply skeptical of the report. Fastest update. Is there any other good way he can do? He can only order to continue in various positions overnight.
The troops who reinforced the defense line all entered a battle-ready state, believing in their hearts that the Soviets might attack at any time.
It is really ironic. During the entire war, the German army obviously maintained the overall offensive posture, and partial setbacks could not reverse it. But in the swamp, the army had to go on defense in order to protect the communication lines.
Herzmann knew that he had a heavy responsibility. Moreover, during the escape of prisoners of war reported by Lotharheim, some soldiers were killed, and the self-inflicted gunshots only exacerbated the chaos. The German army should be in order, how could they act like a mob when they see the crowd?
Are you treating them like an enemy? Besides, it’s really not a good sign that someone is killed before even fighting an old enemy.
He held a military meeting at the division headquarters overnight, and the Losaheim regiment on the front line immediately implemented the new orders from the division headquarters.
The smart Haldeman went to his dormitory. The pile of information made it difficult for him to fall asleep. The other officers had gone to sleep, and he was still thinking hard. It was not enough for one person to use his brain. He didn't want to alert the snake.
The overnight interrogation of prisoners of war was simply a formality.
Because he is not worried that the traitors among the prisoners of war will explain everything. Whether there are guerrillas involved in the whole incident will be revealed tomorrow.
If he continues to think about it, his already bald head will really lose its hair! Haldeman stopped thinking about it and fell into a deep sleep.
…
On the other hand, Balzen also reported an investigation report to the 284th Division headquarters overnight. Compared with the previous report, this was a blockbuster.
That afternoon, Yang Mingzhi participated in a meeting on the airdrop operation. In response to the soon-to-arrive friendly airdrop, how the military and civilians would respond was determined at the meeting, including how the military would retaliate in the event of armed enemy interference in the airdrop operation.
Life is always too full, and Yang Mingzhi only feels that he is more tired now than before. He has been busy with saluting all day long and has been consumed by all kinds of trivial matters. Even hugging his beloved wife, he has no interest at all.
He just wanted to rest quietly to prevent brain cells from regenerating, but as soon as he lay down, the messenger rushed to the door of his house.
An emergency meeting at the division headquarters? Yang Mingzhi really wanted to throw it all away, and he was indeed perfunctory with the messenger, doing a lot of dragging moves so that he could stay on the bed for a longer time.
But the messenger said directly: "Sir! This is important information from the reconnaissance company! There is a firefight on the front line, and the situation is very complicated now!"
"Damn it! Balzen, you are actually looking for trouble for me!" Yang Ming suddenly sat up and jumped out of bed as if he had a needle stuck in his butt, making Yang Tao break into a cold sweat.
The girl watched her husband quickly wrap up his clothes, rush out of the door cursing, and go straight to the division headquarters.
Yang Mingzhi was indeed very angry. On the surface, he hoped that Balzen could exchange fire with the enemy, but it was best not to happen. The messenger did not explain the incident clearly. Yang Mingzhi took it for granted that the stupid young man had thoroughly implemented Lao Maozi's plan.
The national character is determined to do whatever it takes. As a person with a long-term vision, he took it for granted that this firefight incident would be detrimental to the swamp army.
He was also guessing that the people in the division were also deep in thought. As expected, several important personnel such as Yevlov, Yelentina and Lyudbarev had already looked tired, and even
I have to continue sitting in the division headquarters for meetings.
Yang Mingzhi pushed the door open and asked straight to the point: "What good thing did Balzen do? Does he think there are enough RPGs and just want to play a lancet strike on the enemy's firepower point?"
"What incomprehensible words!" Yelentina said calmly, but when she saw Yang Mingzhi's current image, she immediately became angry. "Berekov, don't tell me that you just came to the division headquarters in underwear and a coat.
Yes! Where is your uniform? Where is your medal? You are violating military etiquette."
"Are you still in the mood to talk about this now?" Yang Mingzhi didn't waste any words. He brought a stool and sat down, and quickly asked: "We just studied how to deal with the airdrop from our superiors in the afternoon, and now Balzen is giving us trouble! This
It's really inappropriate to provoke the German army at this time! They should exercise restraint!"
"Hey! Belekov, you are thinking too much. You should take a good look at this telegram document." Yevlov pushed the paper over and Yang Mingzhi grabbed it.
Regarding what exactly happened on the front line, Yang Mingzhi kept calm and read these words, finally understanding everything. The escape plan of the prisoners of war, the composition of the Eastern Battalion, the heavy weapons and equipment of the German army, the composition of the German army's manpower...
Compared with the previous reconnaissance reports, there are new ones added here. What Yang Mingzhi wanted to know most was the strength and weapon configuration of the German army. After all, the reconnaissance company did not fully understand these. It is no wonder that they could only understand part of it through peripheral reconnaissance.
The telegram document explained the cause and process of the exchange of fire, as well as Balzen's concerns. Now the war situation was really complicated.
Yang Mingzhi's mentality has calmed down, his anxious face has become cold, and he even started to frown.
"Berekov, now that you have read the documents, tell me what you think!" Yevlov asked fiercely.
"What do you think? You should tell me what you think. I have to be quiet first."
This was not like the behavior a chief of staff should have. Yevlov was surprised by Yang Mingzhi anyway. Maybe this emergency was very complicated. He said: "The German army is forcing prisoners of war to dig positions for them. There are still some reasons there.
The so-called Eastern Battalion composed of foreigners and traitors are also our enemies. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, the German 707th Division has really many troops. This is what we can conclude.
Secondly, there are Soviet prisoners of war there, and they intend to escape. The three of us have discussed before that if five hundred prisoners of war join us, our combat effectiveness will be improved. What the army lacks most now is soldiers! So we hope to support the prisoners of war.
They."
"Is this your decision?" Yang Mingzhi raised his head and asked.
"Yes! That's it!" As the political commissar, Yelentina immediately scolded the so-called Eastern Camp and expressed sympathy for the plight of the prisoners of war.
"My God, Yelenkina, you actually sympathized with the prisoners of war! I didn't expect that." Yang Mingzhi was very surprised.
"After all, they plan to escape, and their destination is none other than us! They are eager to join us!"
"So we really should help them escape." Lyudbalev now expresses this attitude in his capacity as the Gomel Municipal Committee.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the three of them, "Since you have all decided, I agree. To be honest, I really hope that all the prisoners of war will come back safely, but this may not be successful. Of course, how will you know if you don't give it a try?
Will it not succeed? Two battalions will be supporting Balzen tomorrow, but he has not been informed of this yet. Now we must revise our decision this afternoon."
Many times the war is about who makes fewer mistakes. Yang Mingzhi has realized that his butterfly has changed a lot of history. In the original history, the Pripet Swamp was more closed. It was a paradise for refugees, and the Germans did not care about it at all.
Willing to enter muddy ground, large-scale encirclement and suppression of guerrillas did not begin until 1943.
However, in this plane, a large-scale battle broke out here in early 1942, and the Germans began to build defense lines, which also indicated that future wars would be more intense. Once the Germans saw the "dandelions" flying all over the sky, their nerves
It will get sick, and maybe it will be another massive attack.
In this way, it doesn't matter if Balzen makes a big move. After all, it's just these few days. Is it possible that the Germans can still eat enough to support themselves and no longer need to take positions to charge all the way south? Obviously this is impossible. (To be continued.
