While eating breakfast, Yelentina worked quickly. She asked her people to find some special confessions in the archives. Now these confessions are placed in her briefcase.
She stood up and said calmly: "I have some detailed reports here about that Slavdich! We accepted some refugees who crossed the Dnieper River, and some of them claimed to be from Slavdich."
As she spoke, she took out several pieces of yellowed paper and read it out loud in front of everyone.
Every refugee who entered the swamp was registered, and his or her previous place of origin, occupation, and nationality were simply recorded. They were all interrogated, and the Soviet army was able to obtain a large amount of intelligence.
Yang Mingzhi never took the initiative to understand the situation on the left bank of the Dnieper River, so the confession read by Elentina was refreshing for him.
"Hey! I really can't believe that there isn't a single German stationed in that small city?" Yang Mingzhi looked at Yelentina with bright eyes suspiciously.
"Yes! This is a report from March. There are about 500 puppet troops in Slavdzic. The Germans do not exist. They are all around Chernihiv!"
"Then there's nothing to worry about, these rabble will be wiped out easily!"
Yevlov showed his sharp fangs and tapped the pen he was holding on the table.
Yang Mingzhi looked at this close comrade, and then at the other officers. Who else would be worried about the battle after crossing the river? Worrying is unnecessary! The enemies of the Dongfang Battalion are always a mob!
However, Yelentina mentioned such a situation.
"Comrades! Some citizens of Slavtich have rebelled. They cooperated with Ukrainian nationalists and declared against the Soviet Union. They support the establishment of a Ukrainian state under German protection, which is the so-called People's Commissar of Ukraine.
For these people, we..."
"Of course we will eliminate them!" Yevlov's words were decisive. He turned his head deliberately and said to Fomin: "Comrade! Our attitude towards traitors will always be unswerving! Our leader Comrade Stalin ordered us that even if the traitors of the great motherland are traitors,
He is hiding in the Siberian tundra forest, and he will be shot if caught!"
"Yes! Yes!" Fuming stared at this excited guy. He was in a very unhappy mood. For Yevlov to target him, it really reminded him of the quarrel a few days ago.
The so-called people who oppose fascism have been fighting. Those under Nazi control are either cowards who live in an ignoble way or are traitors. This is what Yevlov meant! Fomin once argued that the first thing people think about under the iron heel of the Nazis is
How to survive instead of betraying the country for glory!
Jelentina's report was a slap in the face. Slavtich had completely rebelled! There were more than a thousand Ukrainians there, and they cooperated with Germany to wage war against all Bolsheviks.
Seeing his hesitation, Yevlov continued to ask: "So, Comrade Fomin, can you make your attitude clear? You are in charge of the ideological work of the entire 63rd Army."
Fomin felt a chill all over his body, and Yevlov suddenly pressed forward step by step! And those Ukrainians were so disappointing! Not only did they cooperate with the Nazis, they also betrayed all the Jews in Slavdich! He knocked on the table and said:
"Of course we will kill these traitors! Even if the city is blown into ruins, I will not feel sorry at all! After all, the Ukrainians who support the enemy are also our enemies!"
Yang Mingzhi had no good impression of the Ukrainians who rebelled against the Soviet Union. They definitely could not become friendly forces! Although it was a bit cruel, reality forced him to be cruel.
In the previous meeting, Fomin seemed to be incredibly kind-hearted, but now he has become cruel. He and Yevlov no longer quarreled, and their thoughts were unified.
Yang Mingzhi concluded: "It seems that the discussion of our second mission can be ended. At present, the world is black and white. They can either choose the Soviet Union or the Nazis, and the middle ground is very blurry. We have no choice.
,Slavdzic must be treated cruelly!”
The commander made such a cruel statement, and Fuming was really shocked. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, maybe after witnessing the human tragedy in the last battle, his anger also increased a lot.
Since the traitors in Slavdzic are to be swept away, no one needs to bear any guilt for the indiscriminate bombardment of Chernigov. There is indeed an underground organization in that city, and there are more cowards and traitors. The German army and the servant army
, are also stationed here.
Regarding all this, Fuming finally chose to shut up...
The meeting continued, only two issues were resolved, and there were three more that needed to be resolved urgently.
The 17th Guerrilla Brigade, this is the first time that the number of this unit has been known to Yang Mingzhi and others. Where their previous defense areas were, what tasks they have performed, and their current strength are all unknown. The only thing that can be guessed is
, this unit may have suffered heavy losses, otherwise the superiors would not have issued a rescue order at this juncture.
According to the plan, Slavdzic could be bombarded directly with heavy firepower, without considering the casualties of the rebellious citizens. After the city was occupied, the troops seemed to just wait for the guerrilla brigade.
The third issue does not need to be discussed anymore. After it is resolved, subsequent matters such as rescuing friendly forces and bombarding Chernihiv can be carried out according to the plan.
The emergency meeting lasted for nearly six hours and ended in the morning. Everyone who attended the meeting was very optimistic about the progress of the battle. Crossing the river seemed particularly easy, occupying the city and annihilating the mob was even more difficult, and finally used long-range rocket launchers to attack the big city of Chernigo.
My husband "grows mushrooms" and everything is perfect!
In this battle, two regiments were planned to be dispatched - the 233rd Paratrooper Brigade and the 2nd Regiment of the 284th Guards Division. As well as Balzen's reconnaissance battalion, which was never absent.
The size of the combat troops exceeded 5,000. If necessary logistics and auxiliary troops were added, the total number of troops participating in this battle would probably exceed 8,000!
Yang Mingzhi knew that the battle plan needed time to discuss, and the time given by his superiors was tight, so he could not waste any more time!
The Soviet army must rise to the challenge, and even hasty preparations cannot be used as an excuse for procrastination!
The mission has been issued, and these troops received orders quickly. The three collective farms were also notified of the combat operation. They must prepare enough civilians to assist in logistics preparations, and the militia battalions were also mobilized urgently.
After all, after Chernigov was bombed, who knows what the German army will do!
Timoshenko also hurriedly responded to the challenge. Murderous intent was spreading across the land. A strategic decisive battle between the Soviet and German armies was about to take place. Who would win would probably not have much impact on the war situation in Belarus.
Yang Mingzhi had no intention of having lunch, so he just ate some boiled potatoes and went straight to the arsenal. For this operation, if two things cannot be solved well, the plan cannot be implemented. One is a rope, and the other is a flying fish rocket launcher.
That Kavitsky never talked nonsense. As soon as the meeting ended, this man ran out of the meeting madly and went straight to his village committee to issue a death order.
Yang Mingzhi was very confident in the strength of the nylon rope and used this rope as a ferry rope. From the Soviet point of view, this was a great innovation and the first time in history.
Isn't it the first time that the Feiyu rocket launcher has been used in actual combat? The rocket shells are like meteorites hitting from a distance, and the earth-shattering loud noise is all due to the real thing made in the arsenal.
According to Liguschkov, his people can produce two Exocet rocket launchers a day, which is his maximum production capacity.
Yang Mingzhi naturally believed this statement. When he came to the arsenal, the situation was not the same - there were only five available for the time being!
