Chapter 1315: The Germans Are Not Reconciled
In fact, there were a small number of kayaks among the supplies airdropped in April. Because at the beginning, Yang Mingzhi did not realize that the Deni Praze Land could also be used as a huge strategic ambush site, and the paratrooper brigade did not carry their high-level equipment.
Fortunately, the carpentry of this group of people was very good, and after receiving the exact order, they let the rafts in the water. The movement of the paratrooper brigade to the northeast undoubtedly provided great help to the little Ivansky partisans.
No one knows better about the waterways of this swamp than these people who have lived in this swamp for most of the year, where the water network is so dense that the vast number of paratrooper soldiers simply board the rafts and move in the right direction by means of makeshift oars, and even a few soldiers on the shore are pulled in the right direction by hemp ropes.
Already well aware of the results of the friendly forces, his scouts discovered the German camp on the riverside.
The individual soldiers on the raft actually floated quietly under the noses of the Germans, and the vast number of paratroopers were well-trained and forbidden, and no one misfired, which did not arouse any vigilance from the Germans.
Everyone knows that the operation they are about to carry out is to cut off the retreat of this group of enemies and fight a great war of annihilation in one go!
The officers and men of the three battalions arrived at the right crossing at the right time, and at the command of Tepunov, the whole army began to cross the river.
Everything went very well, and with the help of the moonlight and the stars, three battalions of paratroopers landed one after another.
The paratroopers knew where they were, and that it wasn't just their 1,800 men who were deployed here.
Just a few kilometers away, there were eight hundred people from the cavalry battalion. With great mobility, the cavalry will completely cut off any enemy who wants to flee from this direction.
Although the soldiers were somewhat tired, Tepinov gave the order to immediately dig up the field offensive.
"I know you're tired, you have to pick yourself up. Here we have set up three lines of defense, which are to be three kilometers wide. We must assault this mission and not let any enemy go! ”
The fighters once again clarified their combat missions, and one by one they became energetic again. They are about to launch a powerful strangulation against the enemy, and there must be many fighters who will make great achievements in combat effectiveness, who can not be excited when they think of this!
At this point, the encirclement of the Soviet army has actually been completed, and after dawn, Balzen issued the order for rocket artillery bombardment, and the Soviet army will shrink the encirclement, and at that time, the German army will not be able to escape.
Unless, they are not afraid to die and jump into the wide Dnieper!
Like the rank-and-file soldiers, Tapunov personally handled the sapper shovel. Their current location is close to the river, so the soil is very warm. It was a real toss for the troops to spend the night in such a wet environment. To make matters worse, mosquitoes in the area have become a new nuisance, and everyone endures a lot of discomfort and tries to dig holes until the sky becomes blue.
This night, the Soviet army is still bombarding Loyev, and as for whether he can kill or injure the enemy in it, Balzen does not care.
The bombardment of the city had two purposes, one was to announce the strong presence of the Soviet army, and the other was to show all the enemies that the city they were going to reinforce was still ravaged.
The roar of artillery fire was always sudden, and it was impossible for Quetzal and his officers and men to rest. They got up in fear, listened vigilantly to the strange noises around them, and also looked nervously in the direction of Loyev.
The flames of the explosion were like thunder in the earth, and when they saw the flash, they couldn't help but sweat for their situation.
The Germans and the puppet army were ordered to stick to this, and it was said that the higher authorities had sent new reinforcements, which gave some comfort to the hearts of the officers and soldiers who were about to collapse. A lot of people are actually more than happy to retreat from this damn battlefield, however, if you retreat without permission, you are deserters and will be shot directly.
The Germans did not have a good rest at all, they were physically and mentally exhausted, especially after the day gradually dawned, they were even more worried.
Who knows if today is a simple confrontation, or if his commander has ordered his troops to attack again?
Quetzal was very unwilling, and his honor as a soldier was insulted by the enemy. This time, he took the initiative to ask for help, and the unit also added a lot of equipment, and as a logistics baggage regiment, it once reached the equipment level of the armored division. The second offensive was defeated and lost, and the combat effectiveness of the troops plummeted.
"No! I have to get revenge! ”
The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, and at six o'clock in the morning, when the morning fog was at its thickest, he began to worry about the Belarusian fever of the whole army, including the police regiment.
He invited all the company commanders to the division headquarters, ignoring the sluggish mental state of the crowd, and shouted loudly with his own spirit: "Gentlemen, I have decided to attack for the third time. You start preparing at once, I'll give you half an hour, and at half past six in the morning, we'll start moving at once. ”
The puppet regiment commander was not happy at that time, he slandered the stupidity of the German, and openly supported it: "Your Excellency, shouldn't we insist on the orders of the division commander?" We're going to stay here and wait for reinforcements. ”
"Reinforcements? Forget it, it will take at least two days for reinforcements to arrive. We're here in a passive confrontation with the enemy? I'd rather die in battle than accept it. We suffered only a small setback in yesterday's battle, and don't our army still have nearly 4,000 soldiers to fight? For the sake of honor, we should rush again. ”
"But!"
"Do you want to be cowards? I have already figured out that the German warriors should go forward, the enemy's firepower is indeed strong, but we attack with the cover of our weapons. Even if the enemy spotted us, by that time our troops were already closing in on the enemy's lines. We will pay a certain number of casualties, their sacrifice will be worth it, and we will win in the end. So! ”
Quetzal stared at the face of the pseudo-legionnaire: "You are the vanguard of the battle, I don't think you want to be a coward!" It was so decided, and my orders were carried out. ”
"You!" The puppet regiment commander was speechless for a while, this bastard officer really used the two thousand people under his command as cannon fodder.
But what else can be done? If he retreats, he will inform the Gestapo in the field that he and his family are afraid that their lives will be in danger.
"Alright! Okay......" The pseudo-legion leader glared at Quetzal viciously, and went down to prepare.
Quetzal did not feel despicable, and the local army should have proved its loyalty to the Third Reich in this way. The man faded into the mist, and Quetzal began to organize his troops and begin the final charge he could.
Five kilometers away, the Soviets kept the Germans at bay. They initially feared that the Germans would attack one last time before the sun went down yesterday, and they were slightly worried that they would see and withdraw in the night.
Who would have thought that this group of Germans, they must be physically and mentally exhausted, and even then they would have to launch a new offensive after dawn!
Fortunately, Barzen, immersed in the morning mist, was very vigilant, as were the commanders of the other units.
The reason why these Soviet troops were elite was also due to the fact that the commanders were better at thinking.
Everyone has an extra mind, and if they are an attacking force, they will definitely try to break through with the cover of dense fog, how can this natural smoke bomb not be used?
Therefore, the sentries deployed by the Soviet army were not withdrawn, and after dawn, most of the officers and men of the Soviet defense line finished resting. They wipe the dew off their guns, check all the bullets and shells, and be safe until the morning fog clears!
When the morning fog completely clears at 8 o'clock in the morning, the rocket artillery will start sharp artillery preparations to kick off the decisive battle.
