Chapter 1041 The degree and preparation of the Misi Ferry
"This is crazy!" Yevlov slapped the table after hearing this. "The superiors didn't consider the situation at all. We actually want to take that city on May 19? We only have two days to prepare."
It’s time!”
The officers sitting here were all very surprised, and they were all muttering in their stomachs about this order they took for granted from their superiors.
Yang Mingzhi grinned and said: "There is no way, who made them the superiors?!" He wanted to say something like why the superiors didn't eat minced meat, but considering that Salinchkin was here, he just said it.
Use big words.
"We are soldiers, and soldiers must obey orders! If our friendly forces are not rescued now, they will be completely annihilated! This is a heavy blow to our army, our Guerrilla Republic
The enemy is not allowed to be so rampant, especially!"
As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi nodded on the table, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a wicked smile: "These stupid Romanians, they think they are very powerful! They definitely don't know
, our 63rd Army Group received the order, now our enemies can send us a large number of replacement parts for Czech rifles!"
What he said was quite cryptic. Only a few officers understood the reason, and Yevlov even laughed happily. After Yevlov explained what happened last year, no one present
Those who don’t smile include Salinchkin himself.
Isn’t it ridiculous that thousands of Romanian soldiers wearing only underwear were deliberately let go and they were running for their lives outside the city of Mozyr?
Because the time given by superiors was too harsh, Slavdzic must be captured during the day on May 19th, and all work had to be accelerated!
The military meeting continued on the afternoon of the 16th and lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.
During this period, both Liguschkov and Kavitsky were ordered to the headquarters for a meeting.
Throughout the 16th, there were constant headquarters meetings. At the end of the day, Yang Mingzhi also formulated a more systematic combat plan. Moreover, this combat plan was the final version.
It's not the superiors who are doing something wrong again.
According to the plan, the crossing of the Dnieper River will be carried out after nightfall on the 17th. Before the sun rises on the 18th, the combat troops must fully pass through the river and pass through the ruins of Misi Village.
.
Throughout the day on the 18th, the offensive troops were to rest and recuperate in the forest, and the scouts approached Slavdich. By then, if the guerrilla brigade had occupied this place, the entire army would stop resting and recuperate and rush directly to Slavtich.
Go to the city. If the enemy still controls this place, the attacking troops will launch a night attack at two o'clock in the morning on the 19th.
As for the time to set up a rocket launcher position in the city, it will be determined by the subsequent battle situation. After all, in the eyes of many officers, a battle between the troops and the Romanians is inevitable.
…
On May 17, the entire Guerrilla Republic was mobilized. Although the troops participating in the operation were only two regiments and one battalion. Considering the possibility of expansion of this operation, all combatable troops were mobilized.
The troops were all given standby orders.
The guerrilla republic has turned into a huge military camp. In addition to soldiers, they are military industry. Even children serve as military personnel and serve for war preparations.
Kavitsky received the death order. After the meeting, he immediately held a mobilization meeting at the factory. The work of preparing the ferry cable was carried out overnight, and the work was greatly improved.
The same is true for Liguschkov. Ten Exocet rocket launchers must be prepared before the sun sets on the 17th. Moreover, even if the 17th has passed, the work of producing Exocet rocket launchers cannot stop.
Because the devil knows what will happen next in this rescue operation.
The military workers were actively preparing supplies, and Blacksmith Village and Black Earth Village mobilized up to 5,000 people in one go.
Due to heavy rain and emergency operations, railway construction was suspended.
Warmansky's more than 300 cavalrymen became a transportation force! Horses can overcome the mud very well. The rider dismounts and pulls the bridle, and the horse carries a heavy load. The cavalry from Black Earth Village is in
On the morning of the 17th, they rushed along the road to the blacksmith village. After the horses loaded a large amount of supplies, they began to move towards Missi Ferry.
The five thousand civilians were divided into more than a hundred groups according to the internal labor team organization of the collective farm. They set out from different stations and all aimed at Mixi Ferry.
At the meeting, Yang Mingzhi and his comrades made a decision to give full play to the subjective initiative of the villagers. When he was supervising, he really saw the huge crowd, leaning on their shoulders and carrying objects.
Zi moved towards Misi Ferry, knowing that this battle was a sure success.
At the Misi ferry, Anatole, who had arrived early, was already working on making a raft. They had brought sharp axes, a two-man saw, and a large number of nails and hemp rope for this trip.
There are tools and materials that make felling wood less difficult.
They started logging on a small scale on the night of the 16th. The trees they felled were all red pine. They were chosen because they are rich in rosin and are straighter than other trees.
The buoyancy is also greater.
Is there anything better than pine trees?
The work of building rafts was not difficult. The soldiers and civilians were divided into groups, and since dawn, the logging work was in full swing.
Place five tree trunks in parallel, lay a new trunk on top, nail it firmly, and reinforce it with hemp rope.
They stepped up their work and did not forget to continue to keep an eye on the river, monitoring possible German patrol boats.
"Maybe the Germans didn't plan to come here at all!" It was almost noon, and Anatoly still didn't say anything. The river was surprisingly quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard were...
The breeze blew over the water, and some weak waves beat on the reeds along the river.
He threw away the cigarette and returned to the scene where the raft was being built.
It was already noon on May 17, and the cavalry from Heitu Village arrived. The cavalry unloaded a large amount of supplies-ropes for ferrying.
The workers in the blacksmith village, whether it is the so-called lofty patriotism, the death order from the village chief Kavitsky, or simply the coveting of large amounts of food. The workers insist on
I worked overtime until the night, so that before the sun rose, all the planned ropes were weaved!
The commander of the cavalry battalion, Jacob Ivanovich Warmansky, is the nephew of Warmansky, the leader of Black Earth Village. The cavalry soldiers all call him Little Warmansky.
After an arduous journey, he finally brought these important supplies to Misi Ferry.
Anatole saw this cavalry team from a distance, and he was excited. He called some soldiers who were sitting on the ground to rest and helped the cavalry team carry supplies.
"Comrade Battalion Commander! I am Jacob Ivanovich Warmansky, commander of the cavalry battalion! I have been ordered to escort the ferry cable!" Little Warmansky saluted straightly, with a sign on his head.
He also wore a Budyonni military cap, as did the other cavalrymen.
This made Anatole feel dazed for a while. He returned the greeting and called his men to do their work.
Each ferry cable is more than 450 meters long. Because of its nylon material, it ensures strength and toughness that exceeds that of steel wire, and the weight is not bad!
Such a long rope is only 80 kilograms, but when coiled in a circle, its volume is very large. In addition to the soldiers weighing more than 60 kilograms, ancient cavalry often also had to equip 30 kilograms of rope.
Horses could easily carry the cables, but its huge size required at least two horses to carry it.
When the rope arrived, Warmansky Jr. also passed on the instructions from his superiors: "The command headquarters ordered us to immediately assist the friendly forces and prepare for the ferry when we arrive at the destination."
Anatoly was very happy: "You came very timely! What I lack most now is manpower! I have received orders from my superiors. This afternoon, the army and thousands of civilians will arrive."
Get here! The ferry work will start tonight, let’s build the rope now!”
Anatole knew very well how to ferry.
The geographical environment of Missi Ferry determines that it is very suitable for ferrying. Not to mention the huge pillars of the currently existing abandoned pier, which can be directly used as rope fulcrums.
There are a lot of trees next to the river, and the ropes are wrapped around a few big trees, making them very secure.
Anatole did what he said, and the soldiers under his command immediately carried out the task with the cable in hand.
For many soldiers, nylon is too new to them! Everyone was amazed by the appearance of nylon and lamented that the rope was only three fingers thick, and even smaller ropes were as thin as a woman's hair whip.
Weaved like a rope. Isn't the rope slender? Can such a rope withstand the tension of the raft?
