There is a certain danger in driving at night, as anyone who has driven has known. But what if we drove at night to fight a fight? Is it even more dangerous? Tank 115 took the lead, followed by Rennes ’tank 113, and then behind Marcus’ tank 112, the three tanks covered 4 armored personnel carriers and 7 trucks towards their goal slowly ahead. Row.
Soon they moved a few kilometers along the rugged road to the outskirts of the small town that had become a ruin. The German infantry began to set up mortars next to the tank, which was the supporting weapon in their hands.
After a short assignment, the German infantry began to form their own battle formation. Two platoons of a company were responsible for entering the town from one side, and then swept nearby buildings to establish an attack support point. After the establishment of this support point, almost 100 German soldiers on the front began to attack.
When ready, German soldiers began to approach houses near the town. These soldiers crossed the fence, rushed through the potted lawn, and ran towards their target by the slight moonlight. They bent over and carried their guns, from time to time. There are also two steps to move horizontally.
Soon these soldiers approached the building, their backs leaning against the icy wall, breathing quickly because of the violent running. However, it can be seen that the eyes of each of these soldiers are full of joy, because the process of approaching these goals is extremely simple for them.
The prepared combat and the offensive were not used. The Soviet defenders here did not seem to be strengthened. These opponents who lacked combat experience seemed to be sleeping at this moment. They did not find that the German soldiers were approaching so close. On a distance.
A German soldier circumnavigated the house behind him with his rifle. The building was obviously not destroyed by bombing, and it was kept quite well. He approached the gate carefully, and under the cover of his comrades-in-arms, rushed into the house that seemed to be empty.
An old man sat in the master position of the living room, looking at the German soldiers coming in. The two sides were stunned there. After a stalemate for about a few seconds, the old man spoke first: "The Russians have escaped, now here All Ukrainians. "
"Those Russians withdrew?" The German soldier who rushed into the room was stunned, and then dropped his weapon: "When did they withdraw?"
The old man answered very simply, without any concealment: "After the bombing of your plane, the original company here was withdrawn. They walked in a hurry, and they did not destroy the bridges in the town with explosives."
The bridges have been kept, and it seems that today's luck is indeed good, and everyone is obviously relieved. The first German soldier who entered the house carried his rifle and looked at the poor and ill-fated house, and continued to ask questions.
The Ukrainians here were oppressed by the Russians. No wonder they did not even hate the Germans who had just bombed here, because in their eyes, the Germans seemed to come to liberate them.
"The platoon leader! The old man said that the Soviet Red Army had retreated." Behind him, another German soldier turned to the German officer who followed in.
"You still have you! You bring a few soldiers and check every area here." The platoon leader immediately arranged the soldiers to search the entire town. Then he found another soldier and asked him to go out to find the radio station he was carrying and told the outsiders who were waiting for the results that there were no more enemies here.
Soon a dozen German soldiers entered the town from the front. After deploying some cover along the road, several German soldiers approached the center of the town. After confirming that there were no Soviet troops, the German trucks and armored vehicles entered the small town. The square in the middle of the town stopped around the middle fountain.
It didn't take long for the Germans to thoroughly investigate the town and find that there was indeed no Soviet troops here. Then in the middle of the night, the Germans set up their defensive positions and arranged ring-shaped fortifications around them. They spent a little time in the middle of the night dug a few trenches, and then ushered in the rising sun the next day.
No one expected that a well-prepared attack would turn into a marching march. The Germans started preparing breakfast for themselves the next morning, and we could see that whether it was a tank unit or an infantry, everyone was happy that there was no fighting last night.
"Good morning!" Alice drilled out of the tent and rubbed her eyes to greet Ren who was gargling.
After spitting out the mouthwash, Ren yawned back and said, "Early!"
It ’s not that they did n’t want to sleep in the building last night, but it ’s helpless that there are too many grenadiers without tents, and the relatively good tank soldiers have to give priority to the empty rooms that a few locals have moved out. Tired of the grenadiers in the middle of the night.
Now they have only slept for more than two hours, so most of them are still asleep. In the early morning of April, it was still a little cold. Alice felt the cold and shuddered involuntarily.
Ryan saw Alice clenching her arms and shuddered, trying to walk over, but found that she really didn't have any coat or the like to pass to Alice. She could not help but smile bitterly and had to give up. Then he saw a motorcycle running from a distance, as if it was a reconnaissance unit directly under the battalion.
Soon the motorcycle in the distance gradually approached, and a German soldier came to Rennes with the roar of the engine: "Sir! Five kilometers away, Soviet troops were found, about 300 people, should be a battalion, There may be other Soviet troops behind, and we dare not get too close. "
"Did you report to the battalion?" Ryan frowned, and asked the comrade who had come to report his funeral early in the morning. You said what did you find bad? For example, if a group of pigs is found, a mountain is found, and a truck of gold coins is found, is it necessary to find hundreds of enemy troops?
"It has been reported to the battalion, but I am worried that the nearby troops have not turned on the radio station, so I am responsible for relaying this important news!" The soldier on the motorcycle answered.
Ren sighed and asked the soldier to mark the other party's route on the map, and then estimated the contact time, and then let the soldier continue to remind other troops to stay on alert. Wu Alice found two company commanders near the town and told them the amazing news.
"Isn't it the Soviet Union's defeated soldiers? This kind of thing is not necessarily that the other party came to retake the town." A company commander said with luck. He just didn't want his troops to face a fierce battle, of course, it was not really naive to think that the other party was just surrendering.
Ryan shook his head, pointing to the location on the map and saying, "This unit found by the reconnaissance force here is neat and shows no signs of collapse. And it is said that every soldier is equipped with weapons, which is obviously not ordinary Army. "
"Are there any tanks?" Another German company commander stared at the area pointed to by Ren on the map and asked: "They rushed straight from the west, where there is woodland and a small open space. If they have tanks, we would Trouble. "
"The problem of the tank is left to us." Renn said after thinking for a while: "I will snipe the tank troops that the other party may have in the forest. But we also need to cover and arrange a squad of troops for us. This is the minimum requirement. "
The two company commanders nodded together and promised: "We will pick you some good soldiers and send them to you, two machine guns and an anti-tank team."
Rennes was also unambiguous, and immediately returned to his tank with Alice, woke up Bruce and Bowman who were still asleep, found Andre who was walking by the river, and began to prepare for the tank battle.
It did n’t take long for the entire town to get busy. More than 50 German troops began to enter their defensive positions in the west. They deepened some trenches and buried the few mines they carried in the open space in front. Two shells adjusted the angle and coordinates of the mortar.
These soldiers are no longer familiar with the preparations before the war. The complicated and trivial things are clear and simple in their eyes. They wipe the guns and apply lubricant to some places to keep the killing weapons in these hands in better condition. They check the bayonet and put it in the most convenient position so that it can be used immediately in a crisis.
The ammunition box was distributed to various troops, and after being opened, it was ransacked by the soldiers. The grenades were neatly stacked on the side of the ground, not far away. Several smokers gathered together to cherish the good time of the last cigarette before the war.
Renn brought his three tanks and a squad of infantry to the edge of the woodland, where they chose a better location and set up their sniper positions. The three tanks were arranged in a triangle, aligning the three 88 mm caliber cannons to the possible location of the Soviet tank.
They also found some camouflage and put some mud and branches in front of the tank as cover. These German tanks themselves were painted with a simple camouflage, so now they are more integrated into the surrounding environment.
The infantry squad was arranged on the high behind the three tanks, and was responsible for dealing with the bypassed Soviet infantry and tanks. Of course, they are only responsible for covering and reminding, it is not possible to really block the Soviet tank around.
Soon Renn discovered the advancing Soviet troops with a telescope. The densely packed soldiers had begun to slowly unfold. The reconnaissance troops apparently said that the number of the enemy troops was reduced. Roughly, they had at least 500 men.
