USSR 1941

The battle at the connecting gate soon spread to Colonel Lucas's headquarters... The troops stationed at Fort Warren were a battalion under Lucas's 135th Infantry Regiment, and Fort Warren was also the supply of the 135th Infantry Regiment base.

At that time, Lucas was staring at the map of the central fortress in a daze, and there were two Soviet traitors beside him...two Soviet officers with stars on their shoulders. Lucas wanted to find the weakness of the central fortress from them and completely defeat them. This Soviet army.

Obviously, Colonel Lucas has lost patience, not only because of the accountability of his superiors, but also because the casualties have exceeded twice the expected number.

Fighting wars is no longer a matter of strategic goals.

In fact, from the perspective of the strategic goal, the German army has already achieved it. Its main force successfully crossed the fortress and launched an attack on the hinterland of the Soviet Union. An extremely important point on the supply line, but the Soviet army could no longer pose any threat to the German supply line.

The problem is... When other German troops surrounded and annihilated the Soviet regular army, the 45th Division, known as one of the most outstanding regiments, was dragged by a group of mobs in the Brest Fortress, unable to escape or even killed or injured. heavy.

This has become a joke of the German army.

So, for the honor of the 45th Division, for the honor of the 135th Infantry, Colonel Lucas must end this battle as soon as possible.

In fact, Colonel Lucas's wish has been fulfilled... the battle is over, but at this moment he doesn't know it and it's not the "end" he hoped for.

"Colonel!" At this time, the adjutant hurried to Lucas and reported, "We just received a report that the connecting bridge has fallen!"

"Connection bridge?" Colonel Lucas looked up at the adjutant suspiciously: "How is this possible?"

You must know that the Soviet People's Congress has been defeated by the German army, which means that there will be no enemies on the periphery. On the other hand, the remaining Soviets are surrounded in the central fortress. They are separated from the connecting bridge by the entire Warren Fortress. It can't be that they have taken the connection bridge!

"A guerrilla?" Colonel Lucas's first reaction was a guerrilla.

"No, Colonel!" A bead of sweat appeared on the adjutant's forehead: "I think the Russians in the central fortress have probably broken out...because we lost contact with Holm Bridge at the same time..."

Colonel Lucas was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No, it's impossible. Send someone to Holm Bridge to investigate!"

"It's already been done, Colonel!" The adjutant replied, he was not as optimistic as Lucas, because he got more specific information from the front, and there were Soviets who hit the connecting bridge from the inside out... This is enough to show that The Soviets may well have broken out.

"Then let's wait!" Colonel Lucas said, "Maybe it's just a problem with the radio station of Lieutenant Colonel Hans!"

But soon Colonel Lucas's inference was denied.

A communications soldier handed over a piece of information to the adjutant, and the adjutant glanced at it and his face turned white.

"Colonel!" the adjutant said, "Lieutenant Colonel Hans has been killed. His headquarters was attacked by the Russians, and all communication equipment was destroyed!"

Colonel Lucas looked at the adjutant with disbelief. He even took the information from the adjutant and checked it, but things were indeed as the adjutant said.

Another telegram came up.

"We captured a few Russians!" The adjutant sighed after reading the information, and he reported while handing over the telegram: "They admitted that they came from the central fortress, that is, the group of people we besieged! "

Colonel Lucas was stunned for a while before saying, "How did they do it?"

"The attack half an hour ago, Colonel!" replied the adjutant, "now we know it was a feint,

The sound of our guns provided cover for their attack on the Holm Bridge, and they captured the Holm Bridge Command in the first place so that Lieutenant Colonel Hans could not warn us. Then, the connecting bridge was also attacked without any precautions..."

This explanation is very reasonable. The only thing I don't understand is how the Soviets crossed the Holm Bridge and appeared in the German headquarters without anyone noticing.

But whatever it was, the fact is that the Soviets had already done it.

"I'll send Sanlian to intercept immediately!" said the adjutant.

Colonel Lucas shook his head and said: "It's too late, Andre. Their goal is the Pripyat Swamp, which is only five kilometers away from the Warren Fortress. We are still on the way, and they have already entered the swamp! "

Hearing this, the adjutant stopped talking.

The German army is good at mechanized troops, and mechanized troops are obviously unable to maneuver in the swamp, unless they are willing to send people into the swamp to continue tracking... But this is obviously unwise, because it doesn't make any sense, except to give the first The 45th division found out face.

After a long silence, Colonel Lucas raised his head towards the interpreter and said, "Ask them, who is the commander?!"

"It's Major Gavrilov!" replied the interpreter, "and Commissar Fumin!"

Colonel Lucas's face was uncertain. He had investigated these two people before, and he didn't think they would come up with such a method.

One of the Soviet prisoners said a few more words.

The interpreter reported to Colonel Lucas: "Colonel, this Russian, he thinks that what you want to know is probably a man named Shulka!"

"Shurka?"

"Yes!" replied the interpreter. "The Russian prisoner said that he was Major Gavrilov's signalman, and he knew something about combat. He said that most of the plans were based on Shulkati's suggestion." It was formulated, and he was the one who tricked us into transferring our troops to the northern forest!"

"Shulka?" Colonel Lucas nodded. He believed what the Soviet prisoner said, because this time the Soviets broke through the siege very similarly to the previous ones.

After a pause, Colonel Lucas asked again: "His rank? Why didn't we have any information about this Shulka in advance?!"

"Of course we don't have any information about him, Colonel!" replied the interpreter, "because he's just a private... I mean, unless we get every single Russian out!"

"Private?" Colonel Lucas half-opened his mouth for a long time but was speechless.

He couldn't believe that he might have lost to a private.

But the battlefield is like this, it is very realistic, whether Colonel Lucas believes it or not, in short, it only took half an hour for the Soviets to escape from the heavy encirclement of the German army.
