From the Germans' point of view, they were never too concerned about the survival of their allies. It was Romania that took the initiative to find Germany for an alliance, and the country's attitude of full support for Germany only made Hitler and others admire.

And the attitude of the Wehrmacht generals of the German army, and even the soldiers at the grassroots level, is debatable. Most people think that it is not bad for these client state armies to serve as logistics troops, and it is really difficult for them to let them fight on the front line!

Therefore, the fiasco of the so-called elite of the Romanian army, the 6th Division under the 3rd Army of the Romanian Army, could only cause an uproar among the invading Soviet army, and the German army did not care about the serious casualties of these people.

The attention of the German army is still on the Kharkov front, which is 200 kilometers away from Chernihiv, and they are most concerned about whether the current operation Friedkus will work, and whether the main forces of the Soviet Southwestern Front in the encirclement will be eaten in one bite!

The remnants of the 6th Romanian Division, after resting for a day in the village of Silemanka, west of Chernihiv, continued their journey.

For the future of this unit, the division commander Grisescu is already disheartened!

The infantry division, with just over 4,000 men, fled into the city of Chernihiv. Their arrival almost made an oolong, because the city was already under martial law, and the frightened city defenders who were beaten by artillery fire subconsciously thought that this group of people was attacking Russians.

Fortunately, after greeting each other with firepower, the misunderstanding did not worsen.

The German officers and soldiers already looked down on the Luo army, and they were beaten like sons and returned home, and this discrimination was even deeper. Fortunately, the local German Supreme Commander Hendlisen ordered the warehouse to be opened to relieve these hungry friendly troops, and then set aside a city area for them, and the buildings in this area were temporarily used as barracks for the Luo army.

As for Grisescu, he knew his future, so he was arrested immediately after dealing with Hendryson, and he was unusually cooperative. He even confessed: "I have nothing to say about this defeat, I have killed too many of my subordinates, even if I am shot, I will admit it." However, you Germans must not underestimate the enemy, these so-called guerrillas are the most combat-effective units that our division has encountered! They! It's the regular army! ”

Hendryson had to listen carefully to these advices, and even if he didn't say it, he had to maintain the highest level of military vigilance.

In the end, the 6th Infantry Division of the 3rd Army of the Romanian Army was forced to withdraw to China due to huge losses. Those who returned home were the lucky ones, which was the envy of other Romanian troops. His division commander, Grisescu, was arrested immediately after his handover, and for various reasons, such as for his past exploits, he was not shot, but was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a military tribunal and served in a prison in the capital, Bucharest.

What will be the final fate of this division commander of the Luo army, this is not something that the German army should consider. The details of the tragic experience of this Romanian army for three weeks are necessary for the Germans to know.

Hendryson learned very interesting and shocking details from the mouth of this division commander, especially the Soviet army, which was the enemy of it, actually used a lot of rocket artillery! And their troops, weapons and equipment, and will to fight far exceeded the estimate of the Luo army.

There may have been a lot of exaggeration in this, and given that the enemy must have crossed the river from the swamp, Hendryson believed that most of what he said was true. And it is a very bad fact, because in order to retreat quickly, the Luo army had to abandon a large number of weapons and equipment and horses, which undoubtedly greatly increased the enemy's combat effectiveness!

Hendlison hurriedly combed through this information and handed it over to his superiors, and he even wrote worriedly: "The Russians 284th Guards Division is stronger than it was a month ago, and they have begun to use rocket artillery. How do we deal with such an enemy? Their strength must have outnumbered a full division, and to completely destroy them, I think that at least five divisions would be able to encircle and suppress the swamp. ”

This is naturally his own opinion, and as for whether the German military top brass pays attention, this is not something that he Hendlison should consider.

So, did the Germans really not have any operational idea of annihilation of the increasingly powerful Soviet troops in the swamps?

The answer is a resounding yes, no!

This was a very reluctant decision of the German army, because since several major wars, in order to conquer this damn swamp, the cumulative casualties of the German army have exceeded 20,000, not counting the casualties of the client state and the puppet army. At present, the closest German units to the marshes are three infantry divisions, the 734th, 722nd and 707th Divisions, all of which suffered heavy losses in the first half of the year. They are responsible for rail and road traffic in the south of Belarus, and the task is a mess!

If it was only a loss of troops, the Germans could also transfer troops from the rear to make up for the shortfall. But the bad thing is that in this area, the strategic initiative is no longer in the hands of the Germans, and they have gone to clear out the guerrillas, except for large-scale killings and exploits, but they have not achieved any tangible results.

On the contrary, it was a large-scale counteroffensive by the enemy, and the German army was bound to suffer heavy losses. The tactics of ordinary guerrillas are like gadflies that run away after stinging, but the guys in the swamp are well versed in the way of annihilation. It is a miracle that all the battalions and companies that are caught up by this group of enemies are not completely annihilated.

Therefore, the 722nd and 707th Divisions, in addition to large-scale cutting down of trees and the construction of machine-gun barbed wire positions, also laid mines on a large scale on the periphery of the positions. Perhaps it was this work done well to deter the enemy, and for two months this front has been so peaceful that road traffic has been fully restored!

As partisan activity in the German-occupied territories became more and more rampant, the railways they controlled were the preferred targets. It only takes 200 grams of TNT to blow up the railway, and it takes seven or eight hours to repair the railway at the earliest! Therefore, to paralyze a section of the railway all day, the guerrillas only need to pinch their watches and go to plant explosives on time. In this way, road traffic is even more important!

The Mozili-Gomel road is fully open, and a large amount of supplies are being transported to the Vyazma front.

Yang Mingzhi adjusted the direction of the strategic center, which objectively provided benefits for the German army in the north, and also made the tug-of-war in the north around Vyazma, and the Soviet army faced stronger defensive pressure!

The Germans around the swamps were indeed on the defensive, and every officer was praying that the satanic Russians would not find their own defensive zone.

In their daily patrols, they have to be vigilant against all disturbances, and the grassroots soldiers live in trembling every day, and even the Belarusians and Ukrainians who serve Germany in the control area, they are very vigilant. Manslaughters were frequent, and they even fired at the shaking grass, which happened more frequently at night.

The partisans were not caught, hundreds of innocent civilians were killed, and even worse, two German patrols were "surrounded by friendly forces".

The three major cities of Mozili, Lechitsa and Gomel were all in trembling, both by the local German garrison and by the civilians under their control. The real underground soldiers of the Soviet army in the city frequently engaged in small damage, although they did not kill a single German soldier, and the panic and exhaustion created invisibly continued to dampen the morale of the German army.

If the Germans had continued to live in this atmosphere of terror, perhaps hundreds of people would have been driven insane!

Are the Germans willing to remain so passive? Of course not!

For example, the 707th Division has finally waited for a group of warriors, these newcomers have had a huge holiday with the Soviet army in the swamp, and now, they have decided to take revenge!
