In this way, the hatred of the Germans among the ambushing Soviet soldiers deepened. They watched helplessly as those "white objects" were taken away by armed men, and those people entered a room. After half an hour, flatbed trucks came one after another.
It was pushed in and came out full of "goods".
Even if the flatbed truck is covered with cloth, it is self-evident what the so-called cargo is.
Peronisky choked uncontrollably as he looked at the chimney that had begun to emit black smoke. He could only watch, and so far he could do nothing.
Balzen assigned his men a reconnaissance mission, and the entire battalion quickly separated into ranked units. Soon, his front line suddenly reached two kilometers long. Each of the dozen platoons had two or three observation posts, nearly forty
An observation post has begun intensive observation and recording.
An observer has an observer and a recorder. The telescopes they carry are not high-precision, and they even use PU scopes from sniper rifles as temporary substitutes. Therefore, some sniper teams have even become professional investigators.
Soldiers need to collect the enemy's firepower deployment, determine all machine gun firepower points, and sketch the enemy's building plan. At the same time, they must also be careful of enemy patrols.
The most important thing in frontline reconnaissance is to avoid alerting the enemy, but the enemy seems to be very lax. They have patrols, but those carrying rifles are just lining up and wandering around the barbed wire fence on the outer wall of the prisoner of war camp.
Obviously, the machine guns they set up on the towers and the bunkers surrounded by sandbags on the ground were not aimed at the enemies invading from the outside, but the prisoners of war inside.
Each platoon sent a steady stream of people to the temporarily established battalion headquarters in Balzen, and the intelligence of each reconnaissance team was quickly compiled.
Balzen didn't dare to relax at all. The sun was about to sink into the horizon. The light in the sky was just the last afterglow. According to the principle of the atmosphere reflecting sunlight, this afterglow could last for the last half hour.
Peronisky drew a topographic map of Leopovka before setting off. After receiving new information, the map was quickly expanded. Within a few months, the German army built new barracks, and the barracks on both sides of the railway were
Expanded a lot!
Now, this map has some special symbols. Balzen marks the machine gun fortress with a circle, and the letter А marks the tower. The corresponding Russian words are directly marked on the ground of the barracks. And the buildings like the enemy's command center are simply marked.
Got into a Nazi Peugeot.
What was originally a rough sketch paper has now become colorful!
At night, Leopovka is still lively. It is already eight o'clock in the evening, and the reconnaissance camp has recorded ten trains stopping here.
Balzen, who was still lying in the grass and observing secretly, couldn't help but ask: "This little Leopovka, is it more important than Mozyr?"
Peronisky said: "The city of Mozyr is very small, and the train station is also very small. This city is now a barracks, and the original residents were either killed or fled. Mozyr was renovated after you left, and the new
The people who check in are either German immigrants, Ukrainians, Belarusians, German waiters, or Latvians, etc.!
Before the war broke out, there were not many trains passing through our Mozyr station, and the trains did not stop too many. I think the situation would not change much after the Germans occupied it. It was probably the German army in this area.
Command center!”
Balzen completely believed Peronisky's statement, after all, this man was a worker at the Mozyr Railway Bureau a year ago.
And his words had to make Balzen think more. Even in the early morning general offensive, the enemy might come to the rescue along the railway. Then Mozyr was naturally filled with German troops. If our side could not escape in time, it would be inevitable.
A fierce battle with the menacing enemy!
Balzen asked worriedly: "Have you told the commander about these things?"
"Of course he knows! That's why he asked for a quick victory in this operation! But if we want to rescue prisoners of war, how can we do it quickly?"
Balzen shook his head and replied: "Believe it! That man is a god of war!"
…
Only those who have experienced battles for a long time can remain absolutely calm before the battle breaks out, and can even fall asleep carelessly and peacefully.
For some people, this is not the case at all! In Joshua's female military camp, some girls were indeed on the battlefield for the first time. Even though they were in the reserve team, many of them were still tossing and turning due to excitement and nervousness.
Even individual paratroopers had difficulty falling asleep, and they could only lie still and keep quiet.
Time passed by, and at nine o'clock in the evening, it was finally time to set off. No matter whether the soldiers slept comfortably or not, they would quickly fall into excitement.
Soldiers with sharp eyes pushed their sleepy comrades awake.
Under the soft moonlight, the soldiers had begun to organize their equipment. The blankets were re-rolled and left in place, and the paratroopers also took out the excess military rations in their bags. They only carried two bags of biscuit powder, leaving all the remaining weight space.
ammunition.
Suddenly, the donkey's load was greatly reduced, but the load of individual soldiers was greatly increased - strong men carrying 82mm mortars and attached artillery shells with their bare hands!
The night was quiet, no one said much, the only sound was the clatter of metal as the gun bolt was checked.
The German troops stationed in Leopovka had no idea that twenty kilometers away, a group of well-equipped Soviet troops began their deadly attack.
Before setting off, Yang Mingzhi did not give any pre-war training.
Under the cover of night, the two paratrooper battalions were fully armed and lined up. He immediately ordered to leave and rushed to the battlefield with a resolute attitude. What was left behind were only the rations on the ground, the female soldiers who stayed behind, and the expectant eyes of the non-combatants.
"Comrades, watch your steps. We must maintain high speed to ensure we reach the position before zero o'clock! Everyone, beware of sprained feet!"
Yang Mingzhi gave such an order, and he himself was extremely careful.
They followed the road that Balzen had explored, followed the compass guidance, looked for the marks left by the reconnaissance camp along the way, and ran under the moon at a speed of nearly ten kilometers an hour.
This is impossible for people without sprained feet. In fact, such people have reason to retreat to the camp, but the paratroopers and their sense of honor require them not to do so. Even if they are limping, they must run to their destination.
Even if you have to follow behind the large army.
In the next three hours, Yang Mingzhi and his men did not pause. The continuous high-intensity march made his calves a little sore, and he had to endure it in order to win.
He paid special attention to the two girls following him, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Natasha, Besica! Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired! I'm not tired at all!"
Yang Tao was a little out of breath when she spoke, it would be strange if she wasn't tired!
"Since they are not tired, you two should check them carefully! Igor, if they are tired, you can help them carry their weapons!"
Such a rapid march is not a problem for a strong man who trains every day. Igor has always claimed that after the war is over, he and his guys will be qualified to be marathon champions. At this moment, this tall and strong man really doesn’t feel
Tired, a day of fighting had completely made him understand the intention of his superiors in training the soldiers' physical fitness.
However, not everyone’s physical fitness is so good! The only non-combatant, Bielski, was panting from exhaustion. The camera in his hand was the best weapon. In order to capture the bloody truth under the iron heel of the Nazis, this young man
