Speer said nervously: "It seems that I have to protect myself. These Soviets are a special case. Since their marksmanship is so good, I must wear a helmet. 23US. The fastest update."
"Of course! The Soviets are still in their positions. We discovered their arsenal and even learned their inside story!"
"What's the secret?!" Speer asked nervously, "Since you knew it, why didn't you report it?"
"There was no time at all. We fought a battle with the Soviet defenders, and just after we settled down, we had a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy!" At this point, Claiborne slapped his thigh: "We might as well report to our superiors now!"
"Okay! Telegraph operator, come here quickly!" Speer waved his hand, and soon the radio station was placed in front of several people, the band was adjusted, and the telegraph operator was ready to send the message.
Swallowing his saliva, Claiborne said: "Please send a report. The Soviets have a huge fleet of aircraft and they are carrying out a huge airborne operation. At least one aviation brigade has carried out parachute drops, as well as hundreds of tons of supplies. They are seizing these supplies.
It’s to prepare for a new battle.”
This is simply breaking news. Speer never expected that he would hear this. "The enemy is airborne on a large scale, and we didn't notice it. This is simply a shame! And you, got it from Soviet prisoners of war."
The information should be reported immediately, but you missed the opportunity."
Claiborne couldn't argue. His colleagues were good. He was indeed complacent about taking over the Soviet position. He took a rest and did not send the information immediately. But it was not too late to report now. The division headquarters could still obtain the Soviet air force's actions today.
The reason is that the Army Headquarters today can also figure it out.
The information has been transmitted directly to the division headquarters via radio waves and reached the ears of division commander Hertzman.
Suddenly, the chief and deputy division commanders, who had been looking at the map quietly, and all the staff officers were furious.
"It's incredible! The Soviets actually started to increase their troops, right under our noses, and our fighter planes flying along the way did not stop them at all!" Hertzman was furious, and the pen in his hand was broken alive.
"Now is not the time to be angry!" Chief of Staff Rostad said trying to remain calm. "Among the many possibilities we discussed before, there was the Soviet Air Force supporting their 84th Division. The Soviets airdropped supplies to the guerrillas.
Surprisingly, they do this in many places, causing our neighboring troops a huge headache."
Hertzman sighed: "My chief of staff, we have suffered a lot today! They are already actively attacking our positions! The fortifications our army painstakingly built were easily breached! Now the Soviets have gained a brigade.
We need at least 5,000 people and a lot of weapons and equipment, how can we deal with them!"
Rostad corrected him: "According to the Soviet army's establishment, the strength of one of their paratrooper brigade is only equivalent to that of an infantry regiment."
"So what, there are still two thousand people!" The angry Herzmann pressed his fingers hard on the dead Lotharheim's defense area. "Our troops stationed here were defeated on a large scale, the military camp was burned, and many workers and family members were killed.
Brutal killing! These Soviets are not human beings! They are devils! Now they have more than 2,000 more devils, how should we deal with them? We might as well face them head-on!"
Head Rostad: "That's true. The paratroopers must be the elite troops of a country, and their combat effectiveness must be very strong. Moreover, these people are trained to bomb railways, bridges, and seize bridgeheads. Let's not put aside their combat effectiveness in the field. They are very good at long distances.
Infiltration, with the guidance of these guys, all the guerrillas in southern Belarus will become demolition experts one by one? By then, our communication lines will be really dangerous."
"It's very dangerous now, otherwise we wouldn't be stationed here! The situation is very urgent now, and I must report this information to the group army."
"Yes! Let's do it now. So what about our troops who have entered Senli? What should they do? Should they continue to advance or withdraw?"
Herzmann looked at Rostad's expectant expression and said: "You have already decided what to do, so what's the point of asking me now knowingly? We have suffered such a big loss, what if we don't annihilate the Soviets?"
Maybe? The intelligence encountered only a thousand enemies, and at least hundreds of them have died!"
"So we must complete an annihilation to give our 707th Division some prestige. Although it is understandable that we suffered more casualties this time, if we annihilate part of the Soviet Guards, we will be worthy of the sacrificed soldiers.
"
Therefore, Rostad determined that the troops still need to continue attacking. From a military point of view, these Soviets have been fighting for too long. Although they are very powerful, they are still human beings. Human beings will get tired as long as they stick to their positions and think about death.
Knock, that’s a bunch of turtles in a urn!
The final order from the division headquarters was conveyed to the front line, and the order given to the four battalions was very simple, that is, this Soviet army must be completely annihilated.
Speer couldn't help but touch his beard, took off the officer's hat he was proud of, and put on an M6 steel helmet. Only the shoulder straps and collar of his identity as an officer were still on.
Seeing what he had done, Drach couldn't help but shook his head: "You are really afraid of Soviet snipers! Why don't I believe they are that capable? My soldiers must be exaggerating."
"I would rather believe it or not, not to mention that it belongs to my colleague. I know Claiborne very well and he will not lie."
"But look at him and his men. Can these people continue to fight?"
These two men are already reorganizing their troops and preparing to continue fighting, including the two Eastern Battalions. They must also continue to go north to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army.
The young soldiers are very high-spirited. As second-line troops, they are very unhappy not to be able to fight on the Eastern Front. These soldiers will never admit that their overall quality prevents them from becoming front-line soldiers, but their actual performance also proves that they are simply unable to adapt to the most cruel front line.
Battle. This encounter with part of the 84th Guards Division was an important opportunity for these young and militant soldiers to perform.
Because the decadent look of Claiborne's men due to failure was selectively ignored. Although Speer was worried that history would repeat itself, seeing his men ready to attack one by one and so passionate, could it be that they were just as tired?
Can the battered Soviets win again?
Speer replied: "Cliburn should return to the position and rest immediately. We are under great pressure now, and the logistics troops have been placed in the position to prevent possible enemy attacks. I am afraid there are other Soviet troops ambushed in the forest.
, so our battle must be fought quickly, and we will retreat as soon as we deal with the group of enemies in front of us. After all, that is the order! Now let us forget Claiborne, and the two thousand or so of us will move forward immediately."
At this time, Drach shook his finger: "They should withdraw, but they must leave something behind."
"What is it?"
"Weapons and ammunition, of course, and the rations we carry with us. Who knows what we will encounter in this battle. If the enemy can't hold on, we won't be able to charge lifelessly. The more bullets the better."
Speer actually didn't feel that his ammunition belt was short, but he was criticized by his colleagues. Anyway, during the war, the soldiers always complained that the ammunition was used too fast and the food was not enough, so he could persuade his comrades to leave the supplies.
Already.
But Claiborne was not such a nice person. The so-called weapons were the lives of soldiers. His people only kept the extra bullets and dry food. Hundreds of firearms could not be taken away, and each soldier had to carry more than a dozen bullets.
Self-defense.
After a wave of temporary supplies, the equipment of this mixed German army was better. Just before the action, Claiborne gave some more instructions, but these instructions were the same. Of course, there are dangers, but isn't war just risking one's life?
The advice about letting them use snipers was actually repeated. Speer and Drach led the troops to advance towards the Soviet forest positions with a huge skirmisher line. (To be continued. If you
