The decisive battle against the Third Reich

In fact, the safety hazard of prisoners should have been discovered long ago, because the school used to hold prisoners has been bombarded several times and the walls are seriously damaged. Some places are only sealed with wooden boards. There have been several collective escapes of prisoners before. event.

The reason why it has not been brought up for discussion until now is partly because the battle on the front line is so intense that the German soldiers have no time to care about the rear, and more importantly because Major General Hartmann has been refusing to report to Colonel Slaine.

Major General Hartmann's mentality is understandable.

First of all, it was difficult for him to accept the command of Colonel Slain psychologically... The rank of major general was higher than that of colonel, and the police force itself was superior, which made Major General Hartmann unwilling to accept it. But reality forced him to bow his head. Major General Hartmann also knew that if it was a regular battle, Colonel Sline would be more suitable to command. If he seizes the command by force, not only will he not get support, but even if he succeeds, he may not succeed. Killing everyone including himself.

Secondly, Major General Hartmann has an inferiority complex.

As Colonel Slain said before, the Wehrmacht fought face-to-face with the ferocious Soviet troops on the front line, while the police force only did other tasks such as maintaining security in the rear, but they still made mistakes time and time again, and even Let dozens of Soviet soldiers hide among the people and assassinate German officers.

Thinking of this Major General Hartmann couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat... You must know that the target of the Soviet assassination was the "legendary staff sergeant".

As the commander of the security division, Major General Hartmann certainly knows what kind of influence the "Legendary Sergeant" has on the rear. If the Soviets succeed in their assassination and are held accountable... then he, the Major General, will probably be unable to bear the consequences. gone.

Major General Hartmann, who was leisurely tasting wine by the fire, was thankful that none of this happened. The "legendary staff sergeant" saved his own life and also saved Major General Hartmann's life.

Thinking of this, Major General Hartmann couldn't help but sigh secretly. He found out from the Soviet people that the assassination team sent by the Soviets were specially trained elites. Hartmann was a little confused as to why this "legendary sergeant" was there. Under such circumstances, he single-handedly defeated the assassination team and survived.

It can be seen from this that this "legendary sergeant" does have two skills, not only in terms of strategy, but also in terms of individual soldier quality and reaction speed.

"General!" This is the adjutant who opened the door and came in to report: "Captain Frick wants to see you!"

Hartman said "Huh" absentmindedly, and then suddenly remembered that "Captain Frick" was the "Legendary Sergeant", so he quickly turned around and asked, "You mean Captain Frick?"

"Yes!" The adjutant nodded: "That's him!"

"Let him in quickly!" Major General Hartmann said, and the next second he stopped the adjutant: "No, no, I think it would be more appropriate for me to greet him in person!"

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Uncharacteristically, the Soviet army did not launch an attack on Holm. However, the front line was not easy at all, because the German soldiers found that many Soviet soldiers were lurking on the front line... Lurking on the front line was a Soviet tactic. One, this is mainly to shorten the forward route when charging and increase the suddenness of the battle.

At 11 o'clock in the night, as several red signal bombs rose into the air, gunfire suddenly broke out on the defense line. The Soviet army launched a fierce attack on Holm from all sides. There was at least one tank battalion on the east and west sides of the main attack direction. The infantry also came one after another like an overwhelming mountain.

Different from usual, this time the Soviet army did not prepare for artillery fire.

This is of course meaningful. Pukaev was worried that the smoke and dust raised after the artillery fire preparation would reduce the visibility of Holm and make it difficult for the glider to find a suitable landing place.

"Where is the glider?" Pukayev asked the staff officer beside him.

"Twenty kilometers away!" the staff officer replied: "We are getting ready to disengage!"

"Fire the bombs!" Pukayev ordered.

"yes!"

Flares were fired at Holm one after another.

From the perspective of the German army, these flares may have been for the Soviet offensive, but in fact the real purpose was for the Soviet army to indicate the direction of gliders and transport aircraft. Even at this time, the Soviet army's attack was to attract the attention of the German army.

"They have determined the location!" the staff officer reported: "The target is clear!"

Pukayev nodded, then raised his telescope and cast his sights on Holm.

Pukaev had mixed feelings about Holm. Before that, he never thought that such a small town would become a serious problem for his entire army or even an army group.

So war is a very strange thing, and only after the war breaks out does some places really show its value.

"The glider is decoupled!" the staff officer continued to report: "The distance is twelve kilometers!"

"Keep firing flares!" Pukayev ordered: "Air defense troops move!"

"yes!"

Soon the blaring air defense sirens, searchlight beams and the sound of anti-aircraft guns rang out from the perimeter.

Of course, this is just what the Soviet air defense forces are doing... German gliders often make such movements before reinforcing Holm. Pukaev is telling the Germans in another way: German gliders are approaching them. .

To be honest, Pukayev's plan has been quite detailed, which is very rare for the Soviet generals who always use simple and crude tactics to launch attacks, but what Pukayev did not realize is... he faced The right one is a master, so everything he does is destined to fail.

"Five kilometers!"

"Two kilometers!"

…

Following the shouts of the staff, gliders appeared in the sky above Holm. In order to deceive the Germans, the undersides of the wings of these gliders were spray-painted with the "ten thousand" symbol like German gliders.

Then, one after another, the gliders swooped down toward Holm.

"Cover artillery!" Pukayev ordered.

The purpose of firing at this time was to suppress the German army. At the same time, the smoke blasted out could also provide cover for the Soviet airborne troops who had sneaked into Holm. Then the flares fell silent at this time, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, with only The streaks of light that lit up during the artillery bombardment were like lightning.

Pukayev put down the telescope, a look of relief on his face... At least so far, everything was going smoothly.

Pukayev was right. Even Qinchuan did not expect that the Soviet army would use gliders to infiltrate Holm, so this time it really caught the German army by surprise.

However, Qin Chuan always believed that the Soviet army's goal was the prisoner camp, and the rest were just deceptions.
