"This Berekov, on the one hand, you said that we should preserve our strength and not engage in large-scale battles with the enemy, but on the other hand, you want to actively defeat the enemy's infantry division! You are simply inconsistent! How ironic!"
These are Yevlov's heartfelt words. He did not criticize Yang Mingzhi in this way during the phone call. Now that the communication is over, he also has the opportunity to complain.
Many telegraph operators looked at their deputy commander with strange eyes, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Yevlov then ordered: "Okay! Don't look at me anymore! Alexeyevich!"
"arrive!"
"Immediately contact Misi Ferry, notify the entire third regiment, transport ammunition and food to the other side as much as possible, and organize personnel to transport supplies to the frontline troops! Order them to execute it immediately!" After saying that, Yevlov immediately thought of it.
His order was not comprehensive yet, so he decisively added: "Well, inform the cavalry battalion that they and their horses will also have to cross the river. These horses can carry a large amount of supplies, and they will be the main force in transportation!"
The communications personnel immediately complied with the instructions, and Yevlov also knew that the troops would complete the task properly.
It's just that Yang Mingzhi was not fully mentally prepared for his specific arrangements. He especially didn't know that Yevlov actually ordered the cavalry to cross the river!
Yang Mingzhi completed the communication with the Blacksmith Village and revised the military deployment. He knew very well that once the war started, he could not end it with his own thoughts, and after the Romanians suffered such a huge loss, how could they become dejected?
Withdraw? The Roman army can only be forced to flee if it is actually defeated, or the entire army is wiped out after a deadly battle, or it can collectively act like a coward and raise its hands.
Based on Luo Jun's performance and the ideological dynamics of the captive group of prisoners of war, Yang Mingzhi estimated that the enemy would never retreat until the death. Therefore, he did not need a large number of troops to fight a war of annihilation, and could defeat the enemy to the point of abandoning his armor.
A large-scale escape is also a huge victory.
The telegraph machine was temporarily shut down, and Yang Mingzhi led Balzen and his reconnaissance battalion to assemble urgently and report to the headquarters.
Seeing the reconnaissance camp again, these soldiers actually got a lot of trophies. They started cleaning the battlefield early and found a lot of undamaged firearms on the ruins. The weapons were seized and turned over, which will be recorded in the merit book.
One stroke. These soldiers cannot predict whether they will survive until the Victory Day. At least they will achieve great success while alive. This is one of the reasons why they continue to fight!
Seeing Balzen, Yang Mingzhi encouraged him: "You did a good job. The successful interception of the reconnaissance battalion laid the foundation for this successful encirclement and annihilation battle!"
"Commander, you commanded it well! I know this tactic very well, which is to surround three sides and deliberately let go of one side, and the side you let go is a dead end! The enemy went with a dead end, and I successfully drove them back!
I learned a lot from this battle.”
Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can learn from experience! How many people did the reconnaissance battalion lose in the blocking battle?"
"Five people were killed and eighteen were wounded."
"Fortunately! There are not many casualties!"
In fact, so far in the battle, the Soviet casualties have been very few. It is completely different from the situation on other battlefields. The enemy Yang Mingzhi faced was inherently inferior in combat power. In addition, the troops' advanced weapons were also used in
The right time, excellent tactical planning and powerful firepower can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Currently, there is only one finishing step left in this ambush battle.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "Barzen, now that you have gathered your reconnaissance battalion, we still want you to complete important work."
"Still have a mission? I promise to complete it!"
"Very good! Actually, I'm still a little worried about the soldiers' energy. You should take a nap after the battle. But you can't take a lunch break!"
Balzen heard this, as if the commander was still worried about him, and immediately assured: "We are very energetic and can complete any difficult tasks with quality and quantity."
"Okay!" As he said, Yang Mingzhi pointed along the road in the forest: "You continue walking along this road until you reach the Luo Army camp where you scouted at night. The enemy still has a lot of baggage there, and there are still some
There are some wounded soldiers. I order your troops to immediately defeat the supply garrison and get the supplies back! When the battle is won, the reconnaissance battalion will stay at the edge of the forest to establish observation posts. According to reliable intelligence, the main force of the Romanian Infantry Division arrived before dark.
It will arrive soon. The reconnaissance battalion must complete the final battle and establish sentries. If the enemy appears, they must not expose themselves rashly!"
"I promise to complete the mission!"
Balzen responded immediately. His behavior was a little hasty, but Yang Mingzhi still added: "Do you understand the orders?"
"Everything is understood!"
"Repeat it to me."
"Yes! Eliminate the last heavy troops of the Romanian Infantry Regiment and seize its camp. Set up an observation post at the edge of the forest and conduct quietly reconnaissance. No shooting!"
"Very well, remember these orders! And make sure the radio's battery is on!"
"Follow your orders! Comrade Commander! I...will take action now?"
"Wait a minute!" Yang Mingzhi snapped his fingers, and the guard came over carrying a coat and showed it to the soldiers.
Balzen was a little surprised: "This...isn't this the enemy's military uniform?"
"Yes! Specifically speaking, this is an officer's uniform! You put it on top of our army's uniform. Those prisoners of war have also taken off their military uniforms, and the entire reconnaissance battalion must put on Luo Jun's clothes. I think you are smart and know my
What is the intention of this move!"
Balzen thought for a moment with his mouth tightened, and suddenly realized. "Ah! Commander, you want us to pretend to be Luo Jun, so that we can openly enter the enemy's military camp? We can complete the mission without firing a shot?"
Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "When necessary, the gun still has to fire! I only order you to get the supplies back. As for the prisoners of war, our army has no time to take them back. You know what to do, we need some corpses for Luo Jun who will come later.
The main force sees it. If we can anger them so that they send troops into the forest hastily, we can win another battle!"
Balzen knew that his commander originally wanted to avoid opening fire on the surrendered troops. The commander also knew that the war was unpredictable and many necessary evils could not be avoided. He didn't care. Even if these invaders raised their hands, they would still be guilty of an unforgivable crime!
The commander had given accurate orders, and Balzen immediately ordered the soldiers to follow the orders.
In order to dress up more like that, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion took off their leggings and replaced their low-cut military shoes with Luo Jun's military boots. They did not change out of their pants and belts, but only put on Luo Jun's tops.
, and also put on German-made steel helmets. In ten minutes, a Soviet army unit that at first glance looked like the Romanian army completed the change.
At noon, the reconnaissance battalion began to take action. Balzen had already made a plan. Since he was already disguised as the Luo Army, there was no need to shuttle through the forest. They marched in a hurry and arrived at the target in only half an hour.
Balzen gave an order: "The first company lined up, and we deliberately walked a little loosely, so that the enemy would mistakenly think that we had just finished the battle! Other companies, follow me into the forest, and prepare for fire cover in case of any eventuality.
!”
A few paratroopers who could speak Romanian also participated in the operation. They had an important task of deceiving the enemy.
On the other hand, the Luo army who stayed behind in the camp did not know that the frontline battle was a disastrous defeat for the Luo army! They were just a little worried after hearing the violent explosion. However, there were only more than a hundred troops left behind including the wounded. Everyone had to take care of the wounded soldiers and take care of them.
The horses and spare ammunition must also be taken care of, and the national flag must be held high so that the approaching friendly forces can see it early.
Suddenly, a troop of about one company appeared in front of them. Judging from their uniforms, they were their own people. Luo Jun was immediately unsuspecting, especially after several greetings from the queue and "The battle is over, we have won."
If so, Luo Jun let the troops enter the camp openly.
Luo Jun's machine gunners were not in their positions either. They wanted to know how the front line was unfolding. Since the battle was won, didn't it mean that the battle that took more than half a month was over?
These soldiers didn't think about it at all. Could they really defeat the 3,000-strong Soviet guerrilla brigade with just over a thousand people?
Until these Soviet soldiers in makeup saw that the situation was looking good, they quickly took off their guns and tried to shoot the Roman soldiers who came towards them with smiles.
The sudden opening of fire caused more than a dozen of the defenders to lie down, and even more people were at a loss. In the panic, no one thought that they were fake enemies. Instead, they loudly asked Romanians, "Are you crazy?"
The sound of gunfire was the signal, and the reconnaissance battalion launched a general attack and the battle was resolved almost instantly.
Victory was inevitable, but the ending was somewhat unexpected, that is, the Soviet army did not suffer any casualties. In the next thing, Balzen also properly carried out the orders from his superiors, but what he did was more cruel than the orders.
These prisoners of war of the Romanian army were ordered to take off their military uniforms and even their underwear. Anyone who resisted was shot immediately. However, the process of taking off their clothes was just to extend their lives for a while. In the end, the Romanian army camp was ransacked and the defenders were
The whole army was wiped out, and he died in a humiliating way to prove that he was killed by the enemy without any resistance!
Balzen completed the task neatly, and his harvest was not unfruitful! More than a hundred horses, twenty available carriages, and a large amount of ammunition, especially mortar shells.
In comparison, the clothes taken from the dead were of little value. However, valuable things must not be thrown away. The reconnaissance battalion even sorted out all the scrap metal and even bullet casings they found and threw them on the carriage.
Luo Jun's camp was already dead silent. The Soviet army established a military camp two kilometers away from the camp and arranged for troops to set up observers one by one at the edge of the forest.
In their telescopes, the national flag of Luo Jun's camp was still swaying in the south wind, but there were no living people left.
The Roman army will definitely come. How will they feel when they see this? Balzen doesn't know. The only thing he knows is that the Roman army will definitely be defeated and will continue to supply a large amount of ordnance. After this battle,
