Among the officers present, only the officers of the Parachute Brigade and the Reconnaissance Battalion knew that there was a group of Romanians, and they set the target of their attack on Slavtich.
Lavrenti and Yevgeny were very surprised.
"Commander! Are there really Romanians? Is that traitor lying to us?!"
Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "Lavrenti, this is true! We have received intelligence a long time ago that the Romanian Army's 6th Infantry Division participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the 17th Guerrilla Brigade. The battle has been going on for more than ten days now. The guerrilla brigade
We successfully broke through, but that group of Romanians seemed possessed and must destroy our guerrilla brigade. This information was sent by the guerrilla movement headquarters!
But the traitor's intelligence was beyond my expectation. It may be that the Romanians thought it would be difficult to annihilate the guerrilla brigade in the vast forest, so they chose this city as a foothold. They may have hoped to use Slavdzic as a military camp and launch a
A search of the forest.”
"So, those Romanians did not chase the guerrilla brigade, but went straight to Slavtich?" Lavrenti asked in surprise.
"Maybe! The enemy seems to be coming, we can't let them leave alive! Lavrenti! Yevgeny! You two have been following me since the war started last year! We defeated the Roman army outside the city of Mozyr.
We have captured a large amount of ordnance and supplies! In my opinion, this Luo Army Sixth Division also came all the way to give us support!"
As soon as this statement came out, the command staff burst into laughter.
Who would look down upon the Romanians? These servants are just rubbish! A Romanian infantry division is heading towards Slavtich?
Yevgeny will not forget the battle in Mozyr last year. The Romanians were really vulnerable. He sarcastically said: "Commander, you are right, the enemy does not defeat the guerrillas at all! Instead, it provides the guerrillas with
Provisions!”
Yang Mingzhi was in a good mood, so he simply hummed a song.
This was the first time the officers heard this song. The melody was familiar and the lyrics were really catchy.
"Commander! What song are you singing!" Tepunov asked curiously, "The lyrics here are really interesting. We have no food or clothing, the enemy gave it to us. We have no guns or cannons, the enemy made them for us?"
"
Seeing that everyone was full of curiosity, Yang Mingzhi said enthusiastically: "This song is China's "Song of the Guerrillas." As you know, China's anti-Japanese guerrillas are in a more dangerous environment than ours. They can't even airdrop supplies.
If you can't get it, you can only attack the enemy to seize the supplies!
The situation in our guerrilla republic is naturally much better, but if we defeat the Romanians like we did last year, we can get a lot of valuable supplies!"
Although he is a strong man, let alone his bravery, Yang Mingzhi still wants to deliberately talk about the victory in last year's battle. Several remnants of the Soviet army, led by the Sixth Mechanized Army with the largest number of people, defeated the Luo army and captured nearly 8,000 soldiers.
People! However, the Soviet army did not kill the prisoners, but ordered these people to take off only their underpants and let all these shirtless guys run away.
Suddenly, even more intense laughter broke out in the headquarters. The officers squeezed out the mental pressure of several days and used the Romanian who was running for his life as a joke to vent it all at this moment!
Yang Mingzhi deliberately made everyone laugh for a while before bringing the topic back.
"Okay! We don't know where the Romanians are yet. According to Comrade Ponomarenko's urgent message a few days ago, the reason why we must capture this city on the 19th is precisely because the brothers of the guerrilla brigade may be here.
Entering the forest on one day, they might also capture the city themselves on this day. Obviously, we completed the task ahead of schedule!
Now we have to carry out the third part of the combat plan, to find our guerrilla brigade! As for how to find them, we will not bother comrades for now! Comrades are all tired, I give the order!"
All the officers stood up one after another.
"Order! Paratrooper brigade, reconnaissance battalion, you camp in the city. Second Regiment of the Guards Division, half of you camp in the west of the city, half of you camp in the east of the city! The soldiers went to bed immediately after eating, leaving only a few
Sentinel! Tomorrow, the paratrooper brigade will detach a battalion and escort the prisoners of war and captured supplies back to Missi Ferry!"
"Yes! Sir!" Everyone said in unison.
The military meeting came to an end and the officers returned to their respective camps, while Yang Mingzhi stayed at the command post.
Others can rest but he can't! Yang Mingzhi immediately invited the telegraph operator Diana directly to the command post and ordered: "Diana, this will also serve as your telegraph room for the time being! Now you immediately send a report to the Blacksmith Village! Call me the deputy
commander!"
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and oil lamps were hung in the command post. Diana covered the earphones with her left hand, and struck the transmitter with different rhythms with her right hand.
Nearly thirty kilometers away in a straight line, the army headquarters in Blacksmith Village was also brightly lit.
Because the army telegraph operator Diana was never idle, she reported the victory to the blacksmith village when the city was broken, and the joy of victory filled the blacksmith village. Now, Alexeyev, the communications squad leader, personally guards the communications room and also follows the order.
Liu Hongxiu stays here.
As soon as there is a new development in the frontline troops, Blacksmith Village will basically know about it immediately. Yevlov, Fomin, and even Salinchkin are all staying at the group army headquarters in high spirits.
Yang Mingzhi was thirty kilometers away, watching Diana's fussy telegram. He was a little impatient and urged: "Dear! How about this, we communicate with them in plain language!"
The female soldier immediately turned her head and did not stop moving her hands. She asked in a low voice: "Is this...is this okay? According to the confidentiality regulations...but you are the commander, if you insist!"
"Let's communicate in plain language!" As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi came over with a bench: "You ask the other party to let Periya answer the call. We will communicate in Chinese. This confidentiality is no less than that of telegraph code!"
Are there really German radio monitors nearby? How is this possible! Not only did Yang Mingzhi not believe that there were, but neither did the professional telegraph operators. However, confidentiality regulations should be implemented, and only in this way can it be absolutely safe.
Diana immediately sent a set of telegrams, and Alexievich, who was proficient in translation, understood it instantly.
He glanced suddenly at the telegraph operator waiting beside him, and pulled Liu Hongxiu to him: "Periya! It's your turn now! The commander wants to communicate with you in plain language!"
At this moment, the girl was flattered. She was smart enough and knew that she should play a good role as a communication medium.
Liu Hongxiu is indeed a medium. She is a telegraph operator and a translator. Yang Mingzhi explains his thoughts directly in Chinese, and then she translates them into Russian. Considering that this child has never been trained as a formal translator, Yang Mingzhi also
Try to speak as plainly and easily as possible.
Fortunately, this girl was indeed very smart and relayed Yang Mingzhi's words to Yevlov.
Yang Mingzhi issued this order to the blacksmith village:
First: Send three female battalions belonging to the 3rd Regiment of the Guards Division toward Missi Ferry to make them full.
Second: Based on the huge threat of the Romanian Sixth Infantry Division, the entire guerrilla republic immediately mobilized for war.
Third: Do a good job in receiving prisoners of war and civilians, and start interrogations immediately.
Fourth: Immediately report the victory to the guerrilla movement headquarters and ask for the general direction of the 17th Guerrilla Brigade.
These orders were written down one by one by the staff officers. Yevlov, who was already in high spirits, was even more excited now. In his opinion, the Romanians are a group of fools. If they come to fight, it will basically be equivalent to "sending thousands of miles away".
Yevlov was still very rational. After he ordered Liu Hongxiu to reply to the commander that he complied with all orders, he immediately started to implement the task.
The first step in implementation is to send an emergency call to Moscow at eight o'clock in the evening, which is not too late!
