The scouts were not exposed at all, but the wide formation quickly shrunk after the enemy left.
They know the geography of Belarus very well. As long as the captured map is correct, there is a plain beyond this forest, and the target is there!
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Tokov took the lead. One of his companies took on the key reconnaissance mission, and more than a hundred people moved towards the edge of the forest.
Everything was as expected. The village of Igretoskaya marked on the map was to the northeast of their location. After observing it with a telescope, they estimated that the distance between the reconnaissance point and the target was about one kilometer.
Tokov immediately arranged for someone to pass the reconnaissance information to Balzen in the rear.
Balzen couldn't help but be surprised by this result: "Oops! We have to run for a kilometer to reach the target. If we still have darkness cover at night, now we can only charge on the plain exposed."
Of course, in many battlefields, the Soviet army was forced to charge with their flesh and blood due to the lack of weapons such as tanks, resulting in a large number of casualties. Balzen did not want his people to suffer unnecessary losses. This latest information immediately
The notification was given to Yang Mingzhi, who was still marching.
Regarding this situation, since it is already a fact, we have no choice but to fight against the scalp.
Yang Mingzhi decisively ordered: "Continue your reconnaissance and find the enemy's firepower points and map them out for me. After that, the mortars of the paratrooper brothers will take care of everything."
Originally, it only took five minutes for the soldiers to run one kilometer with light equipment. As long as the enemy's machine guns were not fierce, there would be no resistance to the attack.
In this way, the reconnaissance battalion began their own work. Since the German patrol first appeared, they have not found any enemies entering the forest. Perhaps the German defenders here are not many in the first place.
At 9:15 in the morning, Yang Mingzhi and the large army finally arrived at Balzen's position.
Igretoskaya is originally a small village, and it does not require many troops to capture it. The reconnaissance battalion and two paratrooper battalions will participate in the operation, while others will continue to rest in the forest.
Yang Mingzhi is not worried about those who have been rescued for the time being. The more than 2,000 people are currently a mob. The political commissars, party members, and even the officers who were platoon leaders were all killed by the German army immediately. The rest are just grassroots soldiers.
At this moment, Peronisky acted as their officer, and he decided with both hands and feet on this arrangement.
After all, that man had reason to expand his so-called independent battalion into an independent regiment!
Without any worries, Yang Mingzhi went for it boldly! Wearing a military uniform and personally carrying a submachine gun on his back, Yang Mingzhi came to Balzen's secret camp headquarters.
"Sir! You are here! When will we start the war?"
"Don't worry yet!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and called on the man not to be too excited. He sat down and asked: "Have the Germans made any movements in the two hours since you arrived?"
"There was no big movement. We saw some guys with helmets wandering around, and we saw five trucks driving into the village. As for whether anyone was there or who got out of the car, we don't know because the wooden house is blocking it!"
"It's probably a child." Yang Mingzhi sighed, "Anyway, we will know soon."
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi, as the commander, seemed to have a premonition of something. There seemed to be something attracting him in this small concentration camp.
There are not many German defenders here, but more of them are guards. It is really a waste of time to attack this place with heavy troops.
…
The three battalions participating in the operation have been deployed, and the two paratrooper battalions are responsible for the left and right wings. They will be the first to attack, while the Chinese army attached to Yang Mingzhi lags behind slightly.
Of course, he had nothing to worry about with this arrangement. In this battle, not a single Nazi could escape, they must be surrounded and annihilated!
Yang Mingzhi ordered: "Reconnaissance camp, all snipers, be ready! When you are about four to five hundred meters away from the target, immediately lie down on the ground to find the target and snipe!"
This order was also issued to Carambola and Natasha. The two girls were temporarily members of the reconnaissance battalion, and there were more than thirty snipers like them.
Each sharpshooter has killed at least ten enemies and participated in many arduous battles. Facing a new round of life-harvesting battles, everyone is eager to try.
After Rechev and Bondanov arrived at the scheduled location one after another, they immediately contacted the headquarters.
"Very good! Telegraph operator, tell them that when they see the green signal flare, they should be the first to attack! Surround the village from both sides and quickly circle back to block the enemy's possible retreat!"
The attack time was agreed at nine forty. The order had been delivered and only the signal flare was left.
Yang Mingzhi stared at the second hand very carefully. When the time arrived, a flash of light quickly flew high into the sky.
At this moment, inside Igretoskaya, the German army was ordering a group of "little prisoners" to be released. As the cremator's intelligence said, these were indeed children, and they were girls.
A green light suddenly appeared in the sky, and the guards no longer paid attention to these frightened girls. They watched the green ball of light slowly descending, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, the charge of the paratrooper battalion had begun. In order to avoid all enemies being instantly ready for battle, no one shouted slogans. Instead, there were just fully armed soldiers striding on the grass to cause the shock——
Thousands of people ran wildly, and the earth shook!
The sentry, the only tower in the village, became vigilant after seeing the signal flare. When he saw the dark crowd magically running out of the forest, he fired a warning shot with his only rifle.
Once one person opened fire, many others quickly opened fire. The attacking Soviet troops instinctively understood that the German blocking force had begun, and some of their comrades had even been hit by bullets.
The machine gunners quickly fell down after running for three to four hundred meters. Their black muzzles were aimed at the tops of the towers and all buildings without exception.
Regardless of whether there are enemies or not, test the firepower first.
The MG34 captured from the Germans was fired with matching bullets, and the green laser bullets simply created green lasers. The merciless bullets crackled the building and flew sawdust, and the only tower also collapsed during this attack.
.
The battle had begun. Yang Mingzhi decisively put out his cigarette and stretched out his right fist: "Comrades, it's our turn!"
The two paratrooper battalions implemented the mission plan and successfully outflanked the enemy with roundabouts.
The German troops guarding here no longer cared about the prisoners. They and the guards chose to retreat without hesitation. After all, how could dozens of troops face the enemy who were pressing down like dark clouds? These people quickly climbed onto the trucks, and the vehicles were started in a hurry.
, some cars even ignore those running slowly.
It's a pity that these people were in a panic and chose to escape through the dirt road. They never thought that individual fast-running Soviet soldiers had already arrived, and what was waiting for the Germans was deadly weapons.
Due to the large-scale equipment of RPG, the combat effectiveness of the paratrooper battalion has been greatly improved. Two warheads flew over and easily blew up the first truck, followed by the second and third trucks.
It can be said that the German army did not organize a decent resistance at all, and a team of dozens of people was easily destroyed by this strong attack. On the way to escape, only car wrecks and burning corpses were left on the ground...
