Chapter 70: blitz

Chapter 70 Blitz

General Kleist immediately asked his adjutant to send reinforcements after receiving Major Muller's report.

But at this time the adjutant was in a dilemma.

"General, where should the reinforcements be sent?" the adjutant asked, "We don't know where they are!"

"South!" General Kleist said: "Where there is gunfire!"

The adjutant was taken aback for a moment, then reluctantly answered "Yes" and then issued the order.

This is easier said than done.

The adjutant knew this clearly, because it was night and the German army could not send out a reconnaissance plane to reconnaissance, and even the German army on the defense line probably didn't know that a Soviet army bypassed behind them.

As for the "where there are gunshots", you must know that it is the Soviet-German front. Although it has entered a short rest period at night, there are still gunshots everywhere after hundreds of kilometers of delay.

The order conveyed by the adjutant can only be: "The enemy moves south from the tenth defense zone, walk for about ten minutes! Stop them!"

But this is only a rough estimate. Finding a team of several hundred people without a definite location in the unfamiliar darkness full of dangers is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

It was Captain Louis who accepted this task. His unit is a reconnaissance unit, and it can also be regarded as a quick reaction unit.

As soon as Captain Louis received the mission, he set off immediately with his troops. A dozen sidecars with machine guns, plus several cars full of soldiers, gathered in a burst of whistles of emergency assembly and gathered together. Jumpstart and go straight to your goal in minutes.

Captain Louis took a jeep, and he spread out the map as soon as he got in the car, then pointed to the map and said to the adjutant: "The enemy is here, defense area No. 9!"

"Yes, Zone 9!"

When the convoy arrived at the No. 9 defense area, there were gunshots and explosions, and occasionally there were a few shouts in Russian.

Captain Louis didn't think much, and sent the troops up with a wave of his hand.

The battle was very intense, and the two sides fought back and forth happily, and even Louis' team had a tendency to be surrounded by the enemy.

This surprised Louis, and hurriedly called for reinforcements on the radio. It wasn't until a few rounds of flares lifted off that illuminated the M1935 helmet on the opposite side that Captain Louis discovered the problem...

"Cease fire, cease fire!" Captain Louis shouted angrily: "It's our own! Fuck the Russians, we were deceived by them!"

Captain Louis was right, the people who fought with them on the opposite side were indeed their own people.

Major Gavrilov has already taken this into consideration when formulating the battle plan.

"The enemy will send troops to intercept!" Major Gavrilov pointed to the map and said, "We know that the quick response force may arrive in only ten minutes!"

"Once we let them entangle us!" Commissar Fumin said, "We won't be able to escape, and the surrounding Germans will soon surround us!"

Of course what they said is correct. To the south is the German offensive line. The German army is as numerous as ants, and once it stops, it means that it will never go out.

“So we need something to grab their attention!” Shulka said.

"Attract attention?"

After thinking about it for a while, Shulka pointed to the map and said: "Use the fastest speed to break through the encirclement for one kilometer to the south, and the main force will continue to go south, leaving a platoon..."

Speaking of this, Major Gavrilov couldn't help saying "Oh", nodded, and said, "Let them pretend to break through!"

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "Let them break through to the east to attract the attention of the German army in the east. When the enemy reinforcements arrive, they will attract the attention of the reinforcements, and then let them pay attention to each other!"

"Good idea!" Commissar Fuming nodded, "That's the decision."

The method is of course a good method, but the problem is that the remaining platoon cannot escape. But this was obviously not a problem for the Soviet army, so arrangements were made quickly.

The development of the matter was exactly as Shulka thought. Under the deliberate provocation of the Soviet army, the two German troops fought together, and their gunfire attracted German troops from other directions to continue to surround and move closer to the battlefield. The main force took advantage of this time and flew all the way south.

During the period, they even encountered a group of German troops who had withdrawn from the battlefield to rest. This German army might have been tired from fighting on the battlefield. Except for a few sentries, the rest leaned against the bunker or curled up in the bomb crater to sleep. .

They slept so soundly that few people responded to the "rumble" of the Soviet tanks.

But it doesn't seem to blame them.

First of all, the sound of guns and guns around is not low. People who fall asleep in this environment will automatically block the sound of the outside world.

The second is that they take it for granted that the tanks that will appear here are their own tanks, so even if someone is woken up, they don't take it seriously.

Even the Sentinels think so...the Sentinels have even more reason to think so, because the two tanks themselves are German tanks, and although they are in the dark, they can be recognized from a distance.

Therefore, the sentry just waved the flashlight in this direction from a distance away, and then continued smoking and chatting on their own. They thought it was just a team of friendly troops passing through their own defense zone.

It wasn't until the tank boosted its horsepower and rushed into the group of German soldiers lying on the ground, crushing him to the ground and screaming everywhere, that they didn't realize that something was wrong.

But it was too late... The machine guns on the tanks spewed out flames "tat-tat-tat", and groups of Soviet soldiers rushed out of the darkness, killing indiscriminately. Many German soldiers did not understand in their sleep What happened when he came over, he died.

Major Gavrilov saw that the time was almost up, and then ordered: "Change direction, follow me!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and led the soldiers to kill eastward.

When the plan was made, everyone was worried about this breakout plan.

"Can we succeed?" Lieutenant Venyakov said: "As long as any of the links goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

The officers involuntarily turned their attention to Shulka.

"I don't know if it will succeed!" Shulka replied: "I can only say...it may succeed, and the probability of success is higher than directly breaking out from the east!"

Major Gavrilov nodded in agreement: "Just fight like this! The focus of this battle is speed. The Germans have always been good at using 'blitzkrieg' in combat. Today, we also use 'blitzkrieg'. Can we Success depends on whether they can deal with the 'blitzkrieg'!"
