Chapter 2 The bait among bait
On a cold winter night when you can't see your fingers, the wind roared in the mountains, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers swept everything. Bischaufshofen, an Austrian town located on the northern foot of the Alps, was as quiet as usual. After the Soviet Union and its allies signed an armistice agreement, a battalion of Soviet soldiers would be stationed here until the spring of the following year. Later, the Soviet army only retained five large military bases in Austria, and internal political security management would be gradually returned to a local government with sufficient ability to maintain order.
Midnight has passed and the temperature has dropped to the lowest point of the day. Except for the guard posts around the town, most of the Soviet troops have entered a deep dream. There is no sign that this night is different from the previous safe nights. However, at one o'clock in the morning, a large number of armed personnel seemed to emerge from the darkness, stepping on the same time point in an accurate and fierce manner. The attacker killed Bischoffshofen quietly with guns or sharp blades equipped with mufflers.
The Soviet sentinels, so in several camps on the periphery, most of the Soviet officers and soldiers were killed in the barracks before they could pick up their weapons; when the Soviet army stationed in the town heard the gunshots and alarms, their opponents had already occupied favorable terrain around them. mg42 was fired from the high point, and the bullets poured into the Soviet barracks were like heavy rain. Small caliber mortars and grenades also played an excellent close-range combat effect in the street fighting environment. The Soviet army, who had rushed to fight, stood in the right time and place since the beginning of the battle.
The leewards of the people, even though they had rich snow combat qualities and full courage, could not escape the disaster in such a battle that was almost against death. Guns and explosions woke up the sleeping Bischoffshofeners, and the noise continued until 3 a.m. They were afraid that the Austrian residents who were affected by the war would wait until dawn in a hurry. The winners began to inform them to bring their clothes and cucumbers to the air-raid shelter built during the war, although the longest itinerary was not
Two or three kilometers, but the harsh wind and snow weather still caused the residents a lot of hardships. When they arrived at the air defense shelter, they were surprised that the dilapidated space gave people an inexplicable sense of security after a simple cleaning. Not only that, these German-speaking winners also prepared some kerosene stoves and common medicines for them, and told them that it would be best to stay here in the past half month. If they had to go home due to special circumstances, it would be best to go when there was no abnormal movement in the outside world at night.
At dawn, Lynn, wearing heavy cold clothes, stood on a hillside more than 20 kilometers north of Bischoffshofen. Bischoffen, located in the valley, has two main roads connected to the outside world. One extends south to the hinterland of the Alps. The terrain along the way is extremely steep, and the other leads to Salzburg, a city at the foot of the Alps. A large number of Soviet troops stationed in Lynn's position, took a high-power telescope and looked northward. The open area at the end of the sight is Salzburg. Before Bischoffen was attacked, the telephone line to the outside world had been completed.
With full cut-off, the radio communication signals in the mountains are often affected by the terrain and climate, but the hundreds of garrisons suddenly lost their information. As the largest garrison site within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, the Soviet command department in Salzburg would soon respond. As expected, just after noon that day, a Soviet aircraft flew over the pass in the wind and snow. It struggled to find Bischoffshofen under harsh climate conditions. When trying to lower the altitude to view the situation, the sound of banging cannons sounded and echoed in the valley. Linn looked at the plane with a calm expression and took the challenge letter he issued to the Soviet army.
Another long and cold winter night passed, and the snow and snow that ravaged the northern foothills of the Alps showed no signs of abating, but the outposts deployed in the direction of Salzburg came early: the Soviet army dispatched a reinforcement force composed of 16 tanks, 17 armored vehicles and 59 trucks to Bischoffshofen, with preliminary estimates of 1,200 combat personnel.
Although the fish that took the bait was not fat enough, Lin En said that he should not be too greedy in life, and the gifts given by the Soviet army with kindness must be accepted with great amusement.
A few kilometers south of Salzburg is the narrow pass in the valley, which is also the most common transportation channel in the entire Alps. In the past, Napoleon led his army to cross the Pyrenees between France and Spain (the part of the Alps extending southwest) was classic because he overcame the many difficulties brought about by the steep mountains. If the Austrians had not been willing to fight, the Soviet army would not have had any effort to occupy many Austrian towns in the mountains. Italy and Switzerland now use the steep mountains as a barrier to the northern border, avoiding the danger of direct contact with the powerful steel torrent of the Soviet army.
The entire journey from Salzburg to Bischoffshofen was only sixty or seventy kilometers. The road that was renovated and expanded with quasi-modern technology could be opened to traffic in front of the mountains when the mountains were covered with heavy snow. The Soviets accumulated some effective methods. Instead of focusing the tanks and armored vehicles in front of the road, they inserted most of the tanks and trucks at intervals. The first few tanks were trucks loaded with cinders. When they arrived at the turning or undulating sections, the Soviet soldiers shoveled the cinders and spilled them onto the road. With the auxiliary traction of the tanks, the wheeled vehicles were able to move forward more smoothly. The speed of the entire convoy seemed slow, but in fact it could reach a speed of 15-20 kilometers per hour. As usual, they could arrive at Bischoffshofen before dusk in the morning.
The weather could not delay the advancement of the Soviet troops, but Lin En had enough trouble for the Soviets. He asked his soldiers to sprinkle water into ice on the turning sections in advance, prying large pieces of solid ice from the hillside, or using artificial blasting to create a small avalanche. Although the Soviet tanks were powerful, they were helpless to have large pieces of ice frozen closely with the ground and a large amount of snow falling from landslides. In this case, the Soviet engineers stepped forward and used human work or small blasts to clear obstacles. In order to minimize the delay caused by these obstacles to the convoy's journey, the Soviet vanguard tanks and engineering vehicles accelerated to leave the large army. Whenever the engineers cleared the obstacles, the tankers would use their artillery and machine guns to be alert to every possible position of ambushers, and the accompanying infantry would leave the road and conduct small-scale reconnaissance and alert near the hillside.
They didn't know that at the far end of the sight, Lynn had been looking at them coldly on the hillside where the combat command was set up. This time, the resistance was no longer a bandit-like attack tactic, and the combat power of ambushing the two sides of the valley far exceeded the expectations of the Soviets. More than 3,800 Emperors and German Freedom Group soldiers had been waiting here for two days, and they had a perseverance.
The strong morale and sharp enough weapons, including the wheeled mountain assault vehicle built by the Empire with 75mm long-barrel anti-tank guns, the vehicle-mounted recoil-free cannons "seized" from the US military using 80mm armor-piercing bombs, the improved "tank killer", "Bazouka" and a considerable number of remote-controlled bombs, line-controlled bombs, and anti-tank mines. Such a large formation and sufficient preparation are enough to deserve the big fish sent by the Soviets!
Thanks to obstacles along the way and the harsh snowy weather, when the Soviet vanguard tanks and construction vehicles passed through the center of the ambush area, their vision gradually blurred. There were tanks in front of them to explore the way, and so far there was no confirmable enemy situation. The Soviet van behind turned on the headlights for driving safety. From a distance, it looked like a golden dragon wrapped in the mountains, or a big snake with golden scales.
In order to avoid exposing the target, Lynn and his subordinates did not use open flames for two days, which was a torment outside at minus ten or twenty degrees below zero. Now this unbearable torture is finally coming to an end. Every frozen red face has more or less excited colors. When was the last time he fought with the Soviets and won? Some people have to go back to 1945, some people have been in 1944, and some are even unlucky to pursue good memories before 1942.
The Soviet tanks at the forefront continued to advance, and the sound of Soviet diesel engines and steel tracks rubbing can be clearly heard in the bunkers of Linen and their command centers. The distance was less than 1,000 meters, so everyone stayed in their hidden position. The carefully arranged bunkers were enough to avoid the discovery of the Soviet officers and soldiers who did not dare to leave the road too far in the current light - from defenders to occupiers, their fearless spirit seemed to be frozen by bad weather, or wasted in anti-guerrilla operations that seemed to be invisible to the end.
Before dark, the light-looking Soviet fighter jet conducted its last reconnaissance flight of the day. In order to avoid the steep mountains, its flight altitude was completely unfavorable to observe the ground targets. Over Bischofshofen, it was normally driven out by anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Soviet garrison. The gunners from far away once again attracted the attention of the Soviet troops in the valley. They were full of speed. At this moment, many people might think that they would definitely be ambushed. But the bad weather completely restricted the performance of the air force and paratroopers. For the slim vitality of the brothers after battalion, the authority that the occupiers cannot violate, for politics, strategy, or the face and future of the superior commander, they had to continue to advance towards the dangerous area, even if it was about to be shrouded in the darkness of ten hours...
Judging from the situation of both sides, this imminent battle will be one-sided. However, on the battlefield, the role of swords and fish is not completely fixed. When the attack finally came, Lynn also waited for the expected report: the outpost found that the second unit had just left Salzburg. Due to the dim sky, it was impossible to distinguish the specific size of the troops, but it was possible to observe that the lights of various vehicles gathered into a spectacular river. At the same time, many Soviet troops stationed in southeast Germany and western Austria were mobilized in the snow. Looking down from the map, they were weaving a large net, a large net that was enough to surround the enemy of Bischoffshofen.
