"We must seize the most favorable position before the Soviet generals gathered up these defeated soldiers." Guderian stared at the map in front of him and spoke to the staff: "Which troops here are there? Can we continue to attack?"

On the huge map, after later sorting and summarizing, the German army renamed all towns with code names, which also facilitated the confidentiality of radio communications of grassroots troops. The town that was paid attention to by Rennes is also being paid attention to by Guderian at this moment, and the code name of this town is y107.

He wouldn't ask this normally, but now his troops are being pulled apart too much. Many front-line troops really have no offensive forces. Most of the assaults occur at battalion level or company level, which is simply unimaginable for a group of troops.

So he opened his mouth to confirm the actual situation of his troops there, and he had to make sure that these troops were able to protect themselves before they could order them to launch an attack, right? If he ordered an attack casually, if there was only one company there, wouldn't this be a joke?

"Report, there is a tank company of the 502 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, and a special team composed of grenadier battalion." A staff officer pointed to the map and replied to Guderian: "But they are scattered in several kilometers long areas, and it seems unlikely to draw troops to attack."

"The troops of the 3rd SS Division?" Guderian nodded and continued to look at the map. The town in his eyes was so tempting. If the German army could control it, all the next battle would be extremely simple.

He turned around, walked to the desk of the command center, grabbed the telephone, and said, "Please pick me up the headquarters of the 1st Armored Army. Yes, I am Guderian... Is there any difficulty in drawing up a unit to capture the town code-named y107 for me?"

If your boss asks you what difficulties you have, it is not about making you cry about your own difficulties at this time, but about making you hold back your tears and say the answer without difficulties. The 1st Armored Army is Guderian's old army, so it is naturally impossible to make your old commander embarrassed, so the task of capturing the town of y107 was immediately agreed.

Things were so simple that they arrived at the headquarters of the 1st Armored Army. There was now a mess. The positions of various troops were repeatedly confirmed. The Soviet Red Army counterattacks in some areas were also being summarized and processed. Of course, there were also connections for supply and air support, and the list of fallen soldiers was also final.

As for the issue of capturing a small town, it is obviously safest to hand it over to a division to deal with. So the military headquarters directly called the division headquarters of the 3rd Armored Division of the SS.

As a general who is not very good at fighting, General Frick, the commander of the 3rd Armored Division of the SS, is famous for the 1st Armored Army. He is famous for his advantage for several geniuses. His troops are almost the highest supply completion rate in the entire G Army.

His men ate the best food in the entire army, used the most ammunition, and even had a lot more tents than other troops. Of course, in return, the 3rd Armored Division of the SS was almost the best in the G Army, and a large group of trump cards such as Rennes Marcus were born.

This army has captured various towns, so when Frick received a call from the commander, ordering him to capture the town of y107, he agreed to the commander's request without hesitation, and then made a promise to the commander: "Don't worry, general, I promise there will be occupied by the 3rd Armored Division, there will be no problem!"

When he hung up the phone and looked at his troops on the map again, he realized what the attack order meant to the entire 3rd Armored Division. He looked at his staff officer with amusement and cry, hoping that the young major who had just been transferred could become a little Moltke in the next second.

"Pulle some troops to reinforce." The young staff member held it for a long time before he could put it on. If he had the talent of the world, he would have been to the head of state to recommend himself? Didn't the later Mr. August have been the second-person in Germany?

Frick sighed helplessly. If he had extra troops, he would have to ask the combat staff? Just support the front line troops directly to fight. Any fool knows this method, let alone a general: "There are almost no support troops that can be used now."

"Call the commander of the 3rd Regiment and let him find a solution." The staff officer thought about it and finally came up with a more feasible solution. After all, attacking towns is not a field battle, so there is no need to draw troops from the 1st and 2nd Regiments. Then the only remaining is the armored grenade regiment of the 3rd Regiment. Who are you looking for if you don't look for them?

Frick nodded, picked up the phone and asked the 3rd Regiment Headquarters: "Is there any difficulty in taking down town y107?"

"Teacher, aren't you kidding? At this moment, attacking in this situation? It's not that I'm pessimistic, division commander... The Soviet Red Army didn't fight back. Once they start to fight back, our defense line will collapse." In the division, everyone is considered a front-line combat force, so there is no need to play the bureaucratic style. They are all people who tie their heads to their belts to live. Of course, if there are any difficulties, let's tell the truth: "I'll just draw troops, there's really no more!"

"Can't you draw it out at all? Just one company!" Frick went crazy. His division winded for many kilometers, but tens of thousands of soldiers could not draw out 100 people.

"..." After a while of silence, the 3rd regiment commander finally spoke: "I can try a company, but I should not be satisfied."

"It doesn't matter if you are not satisfied with the staff! Just have combat effectiveness!" Frick nodded quickly. He was afraid that he would hesitate a little, and there would be no dissatisfied person in front of him.

After putting down the phone, the 3rd regiment commander called the battalion commander of the 1st battalion and explained the combat mission to support him. The poor battalion commander found the company commander of the 3rd Company with a sad face and asked him to take his men to find the special mixed team on the German front line. The company commander collected all the ammunition he could find and took his 73 men to the road.

So the command of the G Group Army made the highest decision and the combat order to capture the town of y107 was pushed all the way. After passing the commander, the commander, the commander, the battalion commander, he was handed over to a small company commander to execute it. This story tells everyone that even if you are the boss of a company, the person who goes to execute your decisions is probably not even a team leader, so don't be too superstitious about your orders.

At this time, Rennes was discussing the combat plan for attacking the town of y107 with the company commander responsible for covering him. They did not know that their superiors had issued an offensive order, which shows how strong the grassroots German commanders' grasp and experience of the situation on the battlefield are.

Many times, the German army often spontaneously organizes local tactics without waiting for high-level combat orders. This reduces the German army's reaction time in another aspect and greatly reduces the casualties of the troops.

"Not including the soldiers escorting prisoners, I can draw up to 60 people to support your attack. Including your three tanks, to be honest, our troops are seriously insufficient." The company commander frowned and said, "My people can organize fire support on the periphery, but if the Soviets deployed forces to fight for each room, we would be driven out of the town."

Renn nodded, things were similar to what he imagined: "Our offense was based on the fact that the Soviets did not deploy large-scale forces in the town. If they had completed the defensive deployment, we would retreat immediately."

Soon, as the sunlight tilted in the afternoon, Marcus's No. 112 and No. 115 rushed back to the battlefield. Following the two tanks, there were 50 dusty German soldiers. After entering the village, the soldiers began to cook together. It was obvious that they were exhausted after a battle.

Marcus agreed with the idea of ​​attacking the town of y107. He was a typical militant and was of the kind of personality who was afraid that things would not be big. The captain of the No. 115 tank also agreed with Rennes. After all, the impression that Rennes left on him along the way was too deep.

After a while, the German army rushed to reinforce their infantry and arrived here, and the order for the attack was really confirmed. Renn and the two company commanders confirmed the tactics and decided to use a night raid to fight a sneak attack.

"I still didn't expect that since we were ordered to attack, why were only 70 soldiers sent to reinforce?" Rennes was obviously very dissatisfied with the decision above. It was one thing for him to attack on him on his own initiative, but it was another thing for him to be ordered to attack - since you let us attack, you have to give us troops at least? As a result, 70 people were sent? What's enough?

"We don't want to come either, but the order above is like this." The company commander who had just arrived also felt innocent: "If the Soviets really set up defensive positions, what's the difference between us and sending us to death?"

Ren sighed helplessly: "Then let's be smarter. We will act at night. If there is any problem, we will return immediately."

The two infantry company commanders nodded quickly, and the three tanks and several armored vehicles parked on the periphery as fire cover. They used machine guns and cannons to drive the Soviet Red Army out of the garrison room. Then the grenadiers suddenly attacked and caught the Soviets off guard.

So everyone rested for a few hours. In the evening, the rested troops set out to operate and drove towards their target town y107. Before they set off, they got good news that the Air Force deliberately joined the town y107 in the last batch of bombing targets that day, which has almost become a ruin.
