"Call the battalion headquarters, we need reinforcements. Russians The size of this guerrilla group will not be too small. Otherwise, they will not wipe out the entire transport team in a short time." Captain officer ordered.
They are affiliated with the German Army 3rd Army Corps 27th Infantry Division Reconnaissance Battalion. This officer Captain is the commander of the 2nd company of the battalion, named Franz. When the Russia guerrillas attacked the transport team, he happened to be leading a patrol not far from here. However, he arrived immediately after receiving the order for reinforcements. But I didn't expect it was still too late.
"Yes, sir!" The communications soldier immediately contacted the battalion headquarters and requested reinforcements.
Soon, the communications soldier reported to Franz Captain.
"Sir, the battalion headquarters has agreed to reinforce us. Other troops from our company are on their way. In addition, the 3rd company will also arrive and is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon. In addition, a team from Army Corps Special Forces will also arrive tomorrow," the communications soldier said.
"Special forces belonging to the group army? They will also come?" Franz Captain found it a bit incredible.
You know, the special forces to which the group army belongs are the most elite units in the entire group army. The number of people was not large, only more than 300 people. But Commander is a Colonel. The members of these special forces are carefully selected from among the scouts of the subordinate ministries. They are equipped with the best weapons and receive the most rigorous training, making them the true kings of soldiers.
However, the areas where special forces operate are often battlefields behind enemy lines. They spy on the enemy's intelligence, attack the enemy's headquarters, important strongholds, or transportation nodes, etc., and effectively support the frontal battlefield.
In the past, the guerrillas who encircled and suppressed Russians were all responsible for the reconnaissance force. Now, special forces are actually involved. It can be seen that German military senior officials are very dissatisfied with these increasingly active guerrillas. I began to make up my mind to use powerful troops to deal with them.
Franz Captain also signed up to join the special forces, but unfortunately he was not selected. Therefore, he is still in the reconnaissance force. But he was quite satisfied with himself for being able to be the company commander of Reconnaissance Company. I think I am no worse than those special forces.
The next day, other reinforcements from German military arrived. At the same time, a team of special forces arrived. There are only about 20 special forces members in this team. But the way they arrived at the battlefield made the other scouts very envious. Because they came by helicopter.
This is the first helicopter officially equipped with the German Army, code-named Cold Wind. Each helicopter can carry five soldiers in addition to the pilot and co-pilot. Moreover, in addition to a 12.7 mm Heavy Machine Gun installed in the front, the helicopter also has Rocket Pod installed on both sides. If the hatch is open, a 7.62mm Heavy Machine Gun mounted there can also be used to pour firepower onto the ground. It can be said that the firepower is very powerful. Steel plates are also installed on the bottom of the helicopter and key parts such as the fuel tank to resist machine gun fire, further improving survivability.
Of course, even so, these helicopters have still been damaged a lot since they were put into service. Except for a few that were destroyed by ground fire on the battlefield, many were destroyed due to mechanical failures.
Because the helicopter flies at such a low altitude, if something happens to it, the crew on it often has absolutely no way to survive. This means that every time the helicopter crew flies, they risk their lives. But even so, helicopters have still become the favorite means of transportation for special forces. They were very satisfied with this fast and covert way of breaking in.
A major officer got off the helicopter, Franz Captain and the 3rd company commander Adam Captain, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Sir, 27th Infantry Division Reconnaissance Battalion 2nd Company Commander Franz (3rd Company Commander Adam) reports to you! "Franz Captain and Adam Captain salute.
The major officer returned the salute. "My name is Schulz. From now on, you will follow my command."
Although the other party's arrogant attitude made Franz Captain and Adam Captain a little dissatisfied, they still obeyed the other party's orders. Because this is an order given to them by their superiors, requiring them to fully cooperate with the special forces to encircle and suppress the Russians guerrillas.
"Yes, sir!" Franz Captain and Adam Captain both replied.
"Have you found anything now?" Major Schulz asked.
"Sir, those guerrillas should be hiding deep in the forest. However, this forest is too big, covering thousands of square kilometers. It will be very difficult to find them. Especially the weather is so bad now." Franz Captain said.
Major Schulz nodded. On Eastern European Plain, the forest was densely covered. Those guerrillas established strongholds in the forest to avoid German military's encirclement and suppression. After attacking German military's supply line, escape into the forest. It is undoubtedly very difficult to hide and seek with the guerrillas in the forest in the cold winter. This also added a lot of trouble to the German military encirclement and suppression guerrillas.
However, no matter how troublesome they are, these guerrillas must be eliminated. Otherwise, they will be like blood-sucking insects, bit by bit wiping out the vitality of Germany. That will be very detrimental to Germany in this war.
"The size of this guerrilla group is at least more than a hundred, or even around two hundred. Their combat effectiveness is not strong. If they confront us head-on, we can easily get rid of them. However, the most troublesome thing now is that it is difficult to find them." Adam Captain also said.
Schulz Major's eyes fell on the map.
"Is this village the only one near the forest?" Major Schulz asked.
"Yes, sir. This is the only village near the forest. The other villages are far away from the forest." Franz Captain said.
"Very good, then let's go to that village. I believe we will be able to get the clues we want there." Major Schulz said.
As the village closest to the forest, there is no doubt that that village must be connected with the guerrillas in the forest. However, because there is no definite evidence, German military has never attacked this village.
However, now German military's top leaders are determined to clean up these guerrillas. Then, there is no need to worry about some of the previous concerns. In order to wipe out those guerrillas, it seems acceptable to cause more casualties.
Franz Captain and Adam Captain both understand what Major Schulz means very well. However, none of them objected.
