Homnitch had been captured, and Florid, the commander of the 722nd Division, was complacent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The people of the 715th Division are a bunch of fools, I took this small city with only one battalion, but they sent two regiments and did not capture it." These very conceited words were heard by the staff officers, and many people did not say anything. It's a win, after all!

Even though this siege was not the same, Flored ignored his casualties. If he had known that Holstauffen was facing only a reinforced company, a group of militiamen, and even then a tactical retreat at the cost of one hundred and fifty casualties, he would probably not have rushed to air aid.

Because it was a panther attack, Holstauffen did not know how many defenders there were in the city. He suffered great losses, which led to the wrong judgment of the enemy as the absolute main force.

Now that the battle is over, after the air raid, the majority of German soldiers finally let down their vigilance a little, coupled with the cold wind, and this miserable battlefield environment. Unable to maintain excellent morale, they dug trenches and pits and fortifications in the cold weather. They were very tired from a long day's work, and to make matters worse, they had no idea that their actions had already been targeted by the Soviets, and that danger was approaching little by little!

As the clock ticked by, night fell, and most of the Soviet troops crouching in the woods had eaten and tidied up their shacks, and then fell asleep. This also includes the grooms, whose jobs come to an end after giving them a lot of forage.

These horses are hardy breeds, and their long manes make them perfectly capable of coping with the Russian cold. Perhaps the horses also knew that humanity was going to war again, but it usually did not affect them. The horses were still eating the forage first, and some of them were also very tired, and fell asleep on their knees.

Natasha still wished she could take out a few more enemies as a sniper, but when it came to night fighting, long-range sniping would be impossible. If you still want to kill the enemy, you must advance with the large army as a combat infantryman.

So she simply removed the rifle's scope and bipod, which Balzen noticed and asked, "What's going on?" Have you decided to snipe your enemies with naked-eye and mechanical aiming? ”

"Nope! Tonight's night attack, I have to act with everyone, I can only be a normal soldier. ”

Balzen shook his finger. "Honey, you'd better get a good rest. You must now obey my orders, you don't have to move with the big force tonight, I will temporarily assign you to the artillery company. ”

"Why?! Am I going to be an artillery again? How can it be! Natasha just felt inexplicable.

Finally, Balzen revealed the maze. The reason is very simple, Natasha is an excellent sniper, and with a good knife on the blade, she must not rush to the front line of the most dangerous battle.

In fact, the vast number of Soviet soldiers are self-aware, and the most dangerous part of the war is, of course, the front-line troops. In this war, a unit is the first to engage the enemy, and the losses are always enormous. The firepower of the German army was not weak, and the Soviet soldiers were often on the front line with flesh and blood.

The helplessness of the soldiers is nothing more than knowing that the charge is going to die, but they still want to continue to rush. In case of cowardice, the commissar's pistol has the right to enforce battlefield discipline on the spot.

Natasha is told that her profession as a sniper is to avoid being at the forefront of the battle.

"Even if you are not satisfied now, you must follow my orders. This was specially ordered by the deputy division commander Berekov, and I must try to ensure your safety in this battle! Balzen commanded in a louder voice, and this order would not change.

Natasha let out a long sigh and obeyed the order.

Looking at her departing back, Balzen shook his head and muttered, "This girl is really eager to fight, and she has completely forgotten her great value. ”

Fortunately, Natasha quickly adjusted her mentality. The deputy division commander really paid special attention to his own safety, and since he had said it first, he must obey his orders.

She came to the camp of the artillery company and met with the company commander Doronin. The two of them usually didn't say much, mainly because they didn't have much friendship because of their different classes.

Balzen quickly informed Doronin of his orders, and the heroic sniper was ready to report for duty.

Most of the soldiers have already rested, and the fighters of the artillery company are still preparing ammunition. When Natasha arrived, some were still fitting the shells with impact fuses.

"You're here, now hurry up and get your bedding ready. The tent you slept in tonight is on my right. Doronin said calmly.

Natasha snorted, and without paying more attention to the work of these artillery fighters, she got into the tent that had been prepared for her. After a few hours, the artillery will also follow the large force, assuming positions of fire support on the outskirts of the city.

……

As the minutes ticked by, the snoring of the Soviet soldiers drowned out the wind. This forest seems to be no different from the others, the snow has stopped, and the jade disk-like moon spreads the soft moonlight on the earth, and the visibility of the whole land is not bad under the white snow.

Not far from the ruins of Homnich, the Germans pulled up and set up tents, and the soldiers who had been busy all day carried their tired bodies into the tents, and almost all fell asleep.

At the height of the enemy's exhaustion, with energetic troops, the victory in the battle was almost predictable.

Balzen never expected that he would carry out a night attack in the same way, and it was precisely the weakest moment of the enemy that he encountered!

At half past eleven in the morning, Balzen was awakened by the sentries of the night watch. The attack was at midnight, and the battle was about to begin in half an hour.

"Great, let's start the final preparations now. You night watchmen, go to the camps at once and wake everyone up. ”

Balzen couldn't finish his order and immediately got up.

The vast number of fighters did not hesitate at all, they simply put their internal affairs in order and were ready for battle in two minutes. They each entered their own offensive positions and waited for orders from their commanders.

Natasha did the same, crouching beside Doronin. His own task was to follow this artillery company, and by the way, act as an artillery escort.

"Natasha, it's a pity that you can't kill the enemy as a sniper, and as compensation, you just look at the power of our artillery. I think you're going to love the violence. Doronin teased.

"Maybe. If the chief needs anything, I'll help. ”

Doronin smiled, "With your help, you can be a porter of cannonballs." ”

Natasha nodded, looked back at the armament of the artillery battery, and in addition to the two large-caliber mortars, there were three recoilless guns. It is exciting to see how well these five guns can perform.

Finally, the tense wait finally ended, and Balzen, seeing that the time had come, found his left arm, and gave the order to attack the whole army.

At this point, the all-out offensive began. Balzen led the most elite reconnaissance company in the middle. Anatoly's battalion went to the left flank, and all the militia went to the right. With such an offensive camp, it seems that the forces in the middle are too weak. Balzen is well prepared for this, as his attacking core is extremely combative. There are not many soldiers, two hundred elites are enough. Moreover, behind them is an artillery battery equipped with new weapons, and the firepower is extremely strong.

The whole force was dispatched, and the three-way attack was not divided into priority and priority, and there was only one task - to enter the city as quickly as possible and kill all the Germans.

The artillery company was a little slower because of the heavy weapons they had to carry. Mortars and recoilless guns were mounted on sleds, and the reins of the horses were removed (the noise and light of the artillery fire would have frightened them if pulled by horses) and replaced by the pushes and pulls of the fighters. The ground was very smooth because of the snow and ice, and the warriors were not tired.

"You see, it'll be a brilliant flame in a while." Doronin then went out to tell the girl about his superiority as an artilleryman, and Natasha was looking forward to the brilliant fireworks. This violent artillery fire is power, Natasha is upright in her second year, she has always longed for power, longing for her own strength, isn't this explosion a proof of strength?!

The girl couldn't help but grin at the thought of this person. In Doronin's opinion, this girl's performance is a good omen. The fighters of the artillery company were in high spirits, they slightly raised the angle of fire of the recoilless gun, which was a sharp weapon for striking the enemy's fire points in the test, and this actual battle was bound to achieve a great victory!

A kilometer from Khomnich, at the command of Doronin, the artillery set up positions there. The artillerymen immediately began to dig pits, setting up various gun emplacements in the snow.

Natasha did not hesitate to act as an artillery assistant, carrying the heavy shell box in both hands and placing it in front of the mortar.

"You've done a good job, we'll take care of the rest." Said one of the artillerymen.

She helped several positions, the shells were transported, and there was a little more sweat on her forehead.

In fact, the artillery could see the enemy's camp at this distance, and for no other reason, those German tents still had a dim light. Outside, some listless German soldiers lit bonfires to keep warm. The enemy's coordinates were completely exposed, and Doronin determined the enemy's direction with experience, and he ordered all positions to adjust the angle and direction of fire at once.

"All of them, get your direction ready, three rapid fires!"

With Doronin's order, the five gun emplacements moved at once.

In front of the muzzle of the mortar, the shells in the hands of the soldiers will fall at any time. Recoilless guns were already stuffed with shells and kits, and the soldier pulled the trigger at any moment. At the same time, the advancing infantry in front was still a few hundred meters away from entering the city. When the shells explode, it will be the moment when the whole army will charge at Ulla.

"Natasha, now cover your ears!" Doronin yelled.

Immediately after that, he turned around, raised his right hand high, and fell down violently. "Cannon !!" (To be continued.) )
