Chapter 1027 There is a Mixi Village in the distance
When it comes to fighting, these soldiers will not have any objections. Even if the enemy sends out tanks and armored vehicles, the troops now have the ability to quickly turn them into scrap metal.
But as far as crossing the river is concerned, this has really become a big problem facing the majority of soldiers.
Yang Mingzhi asked himself, he really thought this problem was simple at first, until Fuming asked: "How do you get two regiments, up to 5,000 officers and soldiers, and their equipment to be transported to the other side of the river! This is the first time.
The Nieper River, its shortest width will not be less than 200 meters! What’s more, it is the spring flood now!”
Because Fomin had been responsible for all matters in the Blacksmith Village for a long time, he naturally had to do some research on the local hydrology. The hydrology archives of Gomel Oblast were no longer available as the city was occupied by the German army, so he had to simply collect some information.
Fortunately, the fishermen in Novgomel also know a lot about the Dnieper River, such as Misi Ferry.
Yang Mingzhi also knew about this Mixi Ferry, and it was marked on the map.
When the war broke out a year ago, the 284th Division withdrew into this swamp. According to official Soviet statistics, there were more than ten villages in the core area of the swamp, but there were only three remaining villages, which are now collectively called Novgo.
Melly.
A river named Sozhi River merges into the upper reaches of the Dnieper River. At the intersection of the rivers is a small city named Loev. The German army occupied it and the army successfully passed the bridge here. The German army belonged to the Central Army Group
, whose combat mission is to prevent the Soviet troops from moving northward in the direction of Chernihiv.
Therefore, the German army quickly advanced along the Dnieper River, destroying all the villages they encountered. They were combat troops, and it was not their responsibility to maintain the occupied areas. In order to avoid being burdensome, they did not take prisoners. Because the residents of the occupied villages had
As a patriotic act, the German army did not hesitate to eliminate these potential threats.
Misi Village, a fishing village with more than 400 villagers, was completely wiped out by the German army. This village was of no use value. When the German army fully occupied Chernihiv, the German army no longer had time to take care of the previously destroyed villages. They had no time to take care of the swamp.
He is even more uninterested.
So when the 284th Division took root in this swamp, the militiamen established a large number of outposts around the controlled area, and even patrolled the area for long-distance exploration.
The straight-line distance from Misi Ferry to Blacksmith Village is 18 kilometers, and the shortest distance from Blacksmith Village to the Dnieper River is only 12 kilometers.
The Mixi village has been completely reduced to ruins. To allow five thousand people to enter there, they must cross a water area of more than 200 meters long.
Even upstream, the Dnieper River is not a small river, and it is currently the flood season, so the situation will be even more troublesome.
The only way Yang Mingzhi and others can think of is to build rafts. However, problems have arisen. Currently, the troops are indeed rushing to build rafts. They are basically on the Pripet River side and have to transport the finished rafts for 30 kilometers.
To the Dnieper River, this is nonsense!
A reliable and safe method of transporting troops must be thought of.
The sun has risen and Yang Mingzhi is racking his brains. Perhaps he is too tired or too anxious. Has his IQ plummeted?
In the end, he still couldn't think of the safest way. Now that it's dawn, it's time for Kavitsky to get up. Maybe that serious guy can provide some helpful suggestions?
Yang Mingzhi finally ordered the meeting to be suspended, and all the participating officers went to eat. He himself sent his trusted civilian soldier Abram to personally invite Kavitsky, the head of the blacksmith village.
…
The meeting had been going on for nearly three hours and it was considered a break. Yang Mingzhi simply lay on the desk and rested while laughing.
The communications class changed shifts at four in the morning. Due to an emergency, squad leader Alexeyev rushed to the headquarters. Their communications class did not pay attention to the meetings of the superiors. What needed to be paid attention to was the telegraph machine!
Undoubtedly, Liu Hongxiu's skillful translation of the double-encrypted code frightened the squad leader. He had been giving the commander a fatal order to train Periya within a month, but he did not expect that this girl turned out to be a genius! Even though he was shocked, he also knew that he had picked up a
baby.
The girl looked neither shy nor impatient, and her praise for the squad leader and her comrades was neither condescending nor overbearing. Her thoughts were actually focused on her adoptive father, who was talking loudly in the office.
She could have withdrawn at four in the morning, but now she is more concerned about her adoptive father. She is not very interested in the praises of the squad leader and team leader. Only the adoptive father's recognition of the results of her few days of supplementary work has practical significance.
The girl finally waited until the meeting was suspended. She already had dark circles under her eyes, but she still jumped up to Yang Mingzhi, who was already resting at the table.
Yang Mingzhi was gently awakened. He looked left and right and saw Liu Hongxiu's smiling round face clearly.
He was really shocked: "Oh my god! Have you just come here? Have you already started working?"
"No! I've been on duty till now! I'm so sleepy!" She said this with a playful smile on her face, showing no signs of fatigue, except for her black smoke rings that didn't deceive anyone.
Looking at her face, Yang Mingzhi suddenly slapped his forehead angrily: "Oh! I really forgot that you, a girl, are here on duty! That Diana even said that you did better than others, and you quickly deciphered the telegram!"
"Yes! This is all true!" Liu Hongxiu hugged Yang Mingzhi's right arm and rubbed it coquettishly: "Father! I didn't embarrass you! I think I don't need a month to be qualified.
The telegraph operator!"
"Is that so?! Then you have to work hard! But you'd better call me Comrade Commander in Russian!"
Yang Mingzhi did not praise Liu Hongxiu too much. He just knew that the girl could already listen to the ticking code sounds and translate them. This was an exciting progress.
His mind was still focused on formulating a battle plan, especially since he was currently encountering obstacles, so he had no time to ask more about this child's extraordinary performance.
Looking at this coquettish girl, she really looks like a young version of Star Tao between her brows, but this girl's eyes are obviously very big. She also looks like a star fruit in her clingy manner. It only takes a few days for this goddaughter to recognize her.
She's so clingy! Could it be that she's familiar with it?
Yang Mingzhi wanted to rest for a while to clear his mind, so he slowly pulled away from Liu Hongxiu and stood up straight. "Signal Corps, Periya, stand at attention!"
Liu Hongxiu was startled, and she stood like a pine tree as a reflex.
"Little pepper! You did a great job today. You will be an excellent telegraph operator soon! You are very tired now. Go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep. There is nothing to do with you here."
"Yes! Comrade Chief!" Liu Hongxiu quickly straightened her legs and stood at attention in salute, the smile on her face not dissipating at all.
The girl jumped up and left with the telegraph operator in her group. She had just been personally summoned by the commander and was also seen by others.
Diana asked curiously: "Periya, what did the commander say to you? I can't understand those languages?"
"Comrade Commander just praised me a few words." Liu Hongxiu said with great pride: "Besides, he and I have an agreement. I can call Comrade Commander father, and he won't mind at all."
"What? He is your father, this... how is this possible?!" Diana stopped in surprise.
"What's impossible about this? He rescued me from the Nazis, and he saved my life! I think you can completely understand." The girl smiled and followed the comrades in front of her...
