Chapter 1030 Slavditch on the other side of the river
The biggest reason why Yang Mingzhi asked Kavitsky to come to the meeting was that due to practical reasons, the army's logistics would be mainly provided by the Blacksmith Village, and they would "hemorrhage heavily." This must be negotiated clearly with him.
I just didn't expect that Kavitsky knew too much. Most soldiers knew very little about the situation on the other side of the river until this guy came down from the sky.
Kavitsky was excited inside, but he still tried to appear calm.
He continued: "Not only do I know Slavdich, but I also know that walking north along the river, there is a small city called Loev. This city has a road bridge across the river. If we liberate this place, in the future
If we march to the other side of the river, we no longer have to worry about the ferry issue!"
The table where everyone was sitting around was also covered with a regional map. Yang Mingzhi searched carefully and quickly found this small city - Loyev.
The geographical location of this city is rather subtle, it is northeast of Homnage!
Yang Mingzhi's thoughts quickly returned to January this year. At that time, it was the so-called "Second Battle of Pripet". The 284th Division defeated two German infantry divisions with a "rabble"! The German army also dispatched a
The armored battalion, the result of the battle was very crazy. This armored battalion was completely wiped out, and some of their remaining soldiers jumped into the partially thawed, icy Dnieper River. The location of these people jumping into the river was relatively subtle, just south of Loyev.
But when he used a ruler and compass to measure the city's location, trouble ensued.
This city is too far away from the Blacksmith Village, and the branch line distance is more than 50 kilometers! The iron bridge there does have great strategic value, and the troops can easily liberate it, but the troops also have to walk more than 100 kilometers!
The rain has just ended, and the swamp has completely returned to its quagmire nature. The straight-line distance is fifty kilometers, and it actually takes twice as long to walk!
Yang Mingzhi sighed: "We need to liberate this Loev City and set up a stronghold here. The time is definitely not now! We still follow the previous plan, Kavitsky, you still have to be honest
Make extremely long nylon ropes! You have to start preparations in the afternoon, and the task must be completed before the sun sets tomorrow. The task is very urgent, we don’t have time to wait!”
"Follow your orders! Comrade Commander! I will guarantee with my life that I will complete the mission!"
"Very good! Your momentum moved me, and it must have moved everyone here! Now we move on to the next topic, to liberate Slavdzic Kavitsky!"
"Here! Comrade Commander!"
"Since you have been to Slavdich, now tell me what you know about it!" Yang Mingzhi looked at the young village chief with piercing eyes, and then it really became Kavitsky's one-man show!
…
Regarding the small city of Slavdich, the old villagers of the Blacksmith Village, especially the elderly, are relatively clear about it. After Kavitsky’s introduction, this city that must be liberated in the mission is no longer
strangeness.
The city was simply a miniature city. There were only two relatively wide roads in the city, which intersected to form a crossroads. All residences and markets were built along this crossroads. These two roads were even more
It has very famous names - Lenin Street and Stalin Street. Of course, roads with these two names exist in almost any city in the Soviet Union.
In the history of the original plane, the nuclear accident in 1986 made this small city only fifty kilometers away from Chernobyl a disaster area. Gomel Oblast in Belarus was even more severely affected. The residents of this area were more or less
Suffering from radiation injuries, many people died together with the Soviet Union in the years after the accident. The living people fled one after another, and only the elderly were willing to stay here alone.
Now, this area has become a safe haven to escape death, not only the huge Pripet Swamp, but also the small city of Slavdich in the forest on the left bank of the Dnieper River.
The Germans did occupy the place, and many citizens fled into the forest. The dense forest around Slavdzic became an excellent hiding place.
Their home was occupied by the German army and their valuables were robbed. Those who had not had time to escape were controlled by the German army and forced to continue their daily work of logging.
This city has no greater use value. The German army does not need much wood. Facing a group of poor Slavs, the German army only leaves a small number of troops to stay.
The German army only stationed one battalion here at the beginning. After Chernigov was captured, Slavdzic's German troops withdrew! These German front-line troops continued to move south and participated in the largest encirclement and annihilation battle in history!
After the German army occupied Chernihiv, this city of 200,000 people became a logistics base for the German army. The heroic German army had to fight on the front line, and the German army tried its best to prevent the combat troops from falling into the quagmire of security wars.
, reality still forced the German army to start cleaning up the intensifying guerrilla activities.
It was difficult for the Germans to control millions of square kilometers of occupied areas with their limited human resources alone. Therefore, the so-called police force established by the Servant Corps and Eastern Volunteers assumed important responsibilities.
Speaking of Slavtich, the German troops withdrew and were replaced by an Eastern Battalion composed of Ukrainian nationalists with only more than 500 troops.
After they occupied the city, they annihilated the Bolsheviks in the city. Those who remained, whether voluntarily or forced, were loyal to the "Commissariat of People's Commissars of Ukraine" under the control of the German army, a pseudo-regime deemed illegal by the Anti-Fascist Alliance.
.
Citizens who are willing to be loyal to the Soviet Union continue to operate in the forest. But their strength is too weak. How can a team of more than 100 people and more than 20 guns deal with the enemy?
In the year of the war, there were nearly 2,000 citizens in Slavdich, and only about 500 people still live in the city. A large number of houses became vacant, and they became the Ukrainian nationalist "Poshtarsky Camp"
"The barracks.
In short, the remaining citizens were also Ukrainians and spoke Ukrainian. Since they had sworn to oppose the Soviet Union, Poshtarsky, the commander of the Poshtarsky Battalion, would naturally not be hostile to them and even provided military protection.
For these Ukrainian citizens, it can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes to be ruled by Ukrainian soldiers instead of Germans.
In troubled times, living in humiliation is still a skill. As for the guerrillas in the forest, they never compromise. Facing the Dnieper River hundreds of meters wide, some people take desperate risks.
Some guerrillas made rafts and tried to cross the Dnieper River. The rafts they made were so crude that they turned into logs. The cold and biting river water made these already weak people lose their grip on the logs once they let go of the logs.
The man sank into the river.
Many people lost their lives in this process, and those who survived had to work hard to find the guerrillas on the other side of the river! They knew that the guerrillas there were extremely powerful!
Kavitsky tried his best to describe a real Slavdzic based on the facts he knew. The limitations of his description were too great. The Soviet army clearly knew about the geography and the layout of the city.
How many people there were, he didn't know.
"Alas! Just knowing this is not enough!" Yang Mingzhi said with a little regret: "There is really no way, the time given to us by our superiors is too short! We actually have to leave the day after tomorrow!"
Kavitsky had an optimistic face. He said: "That city is laid out like this, it is just a small city! It is impossible for the German army to gather heavy troops there. Even if there were, our rocket launchers could easily completely destroy it!"
Yelentina, who was listening carefully, suddenly raised her hand.
"Comrade Yelentina! What suggestions do you have? Tell me quickly!" Yang Mingzhi said quickly.
