In fact, the safety hazard of prisoners should have been discovered long ago, because the school used to detain prisoners has been bombarded several times and the walls are seriously damaged. Some places are just sealed with wooden nails. There have been incidents of prisoners collectively fleeing several times before.

The reason why it has not been proposed for discussion until now is that the battle on the front is very tense, the German soldiers have no time to take care of the rear, and more importantly, Major General Hartmann has been holding on and not reporting to Colonel Slein.

Major General Hartman's psychology is understandable.

First of all, it was difficult for him to accept Colonel Slain's command psychologically... The rank of major general is higher than that of colonel, and the police force itself is 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 Slain's command was indeed more suitable. If he seized command power, he would not only not receive support, but even if he succeeded, he might kill everyone, including himself.

Secondly, Major General Hartman felt a sense of inferiority.

As Colonel Slein said before, the National Defense Forces fought face to face with the extremely vicious Soviet troops on the front line, while the police forces only maintained public order and other tasks in the rear, but they still made mistakes again and again, and even let dozens of Soviet soldiers hide among the people and carried out assassination of German officers.

When Major General Hartman thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly let out a sweat... You should know that the Soviets' assassination target was a "Legendary Sergeant".

Major General Hartman, as the commander of the security division, certainly knew what influence the "Legendary Sergeant" had in the rear. If the Soviets succeeded in assassination, they would be held accountable... Then he, the major general, would probably not be able to bear it.

Major General Hartman, who was leisurely tasting wine by the stove, was glad that none of this happened. The "Legendary Sergeant" saved his own life and also saved Major General Hartman's life.

Thinking of this, Major General Hartman couldn't help but sigh in secret. He found out from the Soviet people that the assassination team sent by the Soviets were elites with special training. Hartman was a little confused about how this "legend sergeant" defeated the assassination team alone and survived.

From this we can see that this "legend sergeant" does have two tricks, not only in strategy, but also in individual soldiers' quality and reaction speed.

"General!" This was the adjutant who pushed the door and reported, "Captain Flick wants to see you!"

Hartman said absent-mindedly, then suddenly remembered that "Captain Flick" was "Legendary Sergeant", so he hurriedly turned around and asked, "Are you talking about Captain Flick?"

"Yes!" the adjutant nodded: "It's him!"

"Let him in!" Major General Hartman 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. The Soviet army did not launch an attack on Holm, but 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 one of the Soviet tactics, which was mainly to shorten the route of advance during charge and increase the suddenness of the battle.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, as several red signal flares rose into the air, gunfire suddenly broke out on the defense line, and the Soviet army launched a fierce attack on Holm from all sides. There was at least one tank battalion on both sides of the main attack direction, and the infantry also had teams of overwhelming straits.

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

This is of course meaningful. Pukaev was worried that the smoke and dust that exploded after the fire was prepared to reduce the visibility of Holm, which made it difficult for the glider to find a suitable landing location.

"The location of the glider?" Pukaev asked the staff officer beside him.

"The distance is twenty kilometers!" The consultant replied: "I am preparing to take off my hook!"

"Start the bomb!" Pukayev ordered.

"yes!"

The flares were fired at Holm in one round.

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

"They set the position!" said the staff report: "The goal is clear!"

Pukayev nodded, then raised his telescope and turned his eyes to Holm.

Pukayev was mixed with emotion for Holm. Before that, he never thought that such a small town would become a major concern for his entire army or even an army group.

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

"Glider removes hook!" The staff officer continued to report: "The distance is twelve kilometers!"

"Continue to shoot flares!" Pukayev ordered: "Air Defense Forces Operation!"

"yes!"

The harsh air defense alarms and the sound of searchlight columns and air defense guns were heard soon.

Of course, this is just the Soviet air defense forces doing something... German gliders often do this before reinforcement of Holm. Pukayev was telling the Germans in another way: there were German gliders approaching them.

To be honest, Pukayev's plan has been done quite carefully, which is very rare for Soviet generals who always use simple and rough tactics to launch attacks. But what Pukayev did not realize is... he was facing a master, so everything he did was doomed to fail.

"Five kilometers!"

"Two kilometers!"

...

With the shouts of the staff, gliders appeared over Holm. In order to deceive the Germans, the "10,000" symbols were sprayed under the wings of these gliders like German gliders.

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

"Cover the artillery fire!" Pukayev ordered.

At this time, the purpose of firing was to suppress the German army. At the same time, the smoke from the bomb could also provide cover for the Soviet airborne troops who were infiltrated into Holm. Then the flares fell silent at this time, and suddenly fell into darkness around them, with only lightning-like lightning lights lit up during artillery bombing.

Pukayev put down his telescope and showed relief on his face...at least so far, everything was going well.

Pukayev was right, and even Qin Chuan didn't expect that the Soviet army would use gliders to infiltrate into Holm, so this time it really caught the German army off guard.
