Yang Mingzhi did report the losses of the Third Regiment in full. He estimated that Yevlov would be very sad about such losses, while Salinchkin would not care much. After all, the grassroots troops of the Soviet Army often performed some seemingly
Heroic, but actually very demanding, a rather dull charge on a tactical level.
Many troops have an overly classical understanding of grassroots team attacks. After preparing for artillery fire, the infantry forms a skirmish line, chants ULA, and attacks with submachine guns and rifles. Through the advance of soldiers, the enemy's infantry defense line is conquered, and then such an attack
Serious losses are bound to occur.
Yang Mingzhi always felt that Salinchkin valued the result of victory the most, but did not attach much importance to the human and material costs.
He never expected that these young girls' spirit of daring to fight with the enemy with bayonets shocked Salinchkin. In addition, after spending time in the deep swamp, his concept of war was also quietly changing. That is to say, truly
Win with the minimum cost, rather than rush with enthusiasm.
Report on the casualties of the 3rd regiment, this was one of the many telegrams he wanted to send, and there were a large number of telegrams queued up at Diana's place waiting to be sent!
For many soldiers, today's battle came to an end. After the victory, everyone could finally have a good sleep.
When there are no damn enemy soldiers pressing down on the border, there is no need to worry about sudden death in battle. Those soldiers who were ordered to clean up the battlefield dragged their tired bodies and threw all kinds of captured trophies into the designated places, in the nearby forest.
They dug their own foxholes, or leaned against a big tree. They lit bonfires and began to eat the black bread captured from the Roman Army, roast the captured potatoes, and drink some water.
After they were full and drunk, they all fell asleep carelessly.
Yang Mingzhi deliberately made sure that no enemy would threaten the safety of him and the soldiers, so he did not interfere too much with the sleeping behavior of the soldiers.
Tonight, there is no war!
The battle against the Luo army should have ended here, but the entire military operation is not over yet!
He was holding a box of canned beef and inspecting the situation of the army while eating. Many knowledgeable soldiers immediately woke up their snoring comrades and stood at attention in front of the commander.
Yang Mingzhi was not angry and signaled: "Comrades! You are all exhausted! We have won a great victory in this battle, you should be happy! Now have a good sleep, our battle is not completely over yet!"
The battle was indeed not over. After some reminders from Yang Mingzhi, the soldiers suddenly thought that they had a special battle plan for the city of Chernihiv!
Rocket launcher! The new Feiyu rocket launcher has been put into actual combat for the first time. As for whether it can hit that city, the majority of soldiers have full confidence. They are only very curious about what kind of results they can achieve.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the forest camp, and some energetic soldiers also had various opinions on the actual combat of rocket launchers. Some people even imagined that if the rocket launcher fell into the garrison of senior German officers or into the enemy's military camp, the damage it would cause would be
Very amazing.
Naturally, some soldiers are worried that the use of rocket launchers will definitely injure civilians.
Regarding the rocket launcher that kills the enemy and may also injure a large number of innocent people, this type of discussion has already been argued by Yevlov and Fomin at the headquarters. The discussion among the grassroots officers and soldiers is also quite lively.
The three views of most soldiers are still very simple, that is, if you have good weapons, why not use them? The citizens in the city are either sluggish slaves of subjugation, or traitors who support the so-called "Ukrainian National Council". They are either cowards or traitors. As for everything,
The underground resistance organizations operating in the city of Ernigov are just like the characteristics of their existence - they really work underground. If this rocket launcher hits these special fighters living underground, they will not be hurt.
Yang Mingzhi did not consider the discussions among the soldiers. His attitude was very clear. Although the battle with the Roman army lasted for several days, the rocket attack on Chernigov could no longer be delayed!
He hurriedly finished the box of beef and ran to the telegraph operator again.
Night had fallen, and Diana participated in this bloody battle with the army. She really felt the cruelty of the battlefield, and she was glad that her luck was really good!
The battle was over, but she still had some lingering fears. Fortunately, she was faced with a large number of messages to be sent. These busy tasks made her temporarily forget the fear of being on the verge of death a few hours ago!
She had a simple dinner and continued her intense work under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, so that the commander himself was not even aware that he was standing behind her.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know much about these beeping Morse codes. He boasted that if he could take a good look at the code book, he might be able to translate it quickly. Everyone has their own talent, and Periya's talent is super strong.
Memorability, being a telegraph operator is so correct.
Yang Mingzhi aimed at the opportunity. After Diana finished transmitting a telegram, he suddenly coughed, attracting the female soldier's attention.
"Hey! Comrade Commander, you are here!"
"Yes, I'm here! Is everything normal with the telegram?"
"Everything is normal, the Army Command has accepted it intact!"
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Very good, now send an urgent message to the headquarters. I will dictate it and you will publish it!"
"Okay! Just tell me."
…
More than 30 kilometers away, Alexeyev and one of his subordinates were waiting in the telegraph room of the headquarters with all their strength, including Periya, that is, Liu Hongxiu. Here, these communication warriors, together with the frontline officers and soldiers, have been tense
While fighting, even if the front line sends an urgent call in the early morning, it can be properly received here.
He received an urgent telegram from the frontline headquarters and from the commander. It happened that the deputy commander and Salinchkin were also there, so he personally delivered this significant telegram.
He hurried to the main office of the headquarters and interrupted the conversation between the two commanders.
"Report to the deputy commander, comrade commander sent an urgent message. Finally, comrade commander finally decided to do that!"
Alexeyev shouldn't have said the next words, but he couldn't control his emotions!
What was "that thing"?! Yevlov knew it very well. He stood up suddenly, took the telegram file, and after just a brief glance, he knew everything.
He said meaningfully to Salinchkin: "Finally, our Belekov is ready to use that weapon!"
"Sure enough! The Feiyu rocket launcher is finally going to be used!"
Yevlov looked at the middle-aged man's beaming expression and affirmed again: "Yes! Berekov has great ambitions. This time, we will set up a rocket launcher on the ruins of Slavdich. The target is
Chernigov! Eventually, we will definitely create a big explosion in that city! A big explosion that will shock the world!"
Yevlov's words were obviously too optimistic! Shocked the world? Salinchkin didn't think so much. The only thing he could foresee was that once this special operation was successful, he would report it to the leader, Beleko.
The husband will at least receive another Gold Star Medal and an honorary title from the Soviet National Academy of Sciences, which may also lead to a major leap in the Soviet army's combat effectiveness.
Stalin needed something real. What he needed was actual combat, a loud noise in the city of Chernihiv.
Therefore, compared to Yevlov's elation, Salinchkin regained his calmness and reason after being excited for a while.
"Okay! Comrade Yevlov, now we know that Comrade Berekov will launch a long-range rocket launcher tomorrow, May 22. How do you plan to reply to him?"
"Of course I completely agree! We are all waiting for the good news!"
Salinchkin nodded: "Okay! Anyway, the time he gave is too sudden. I'm afraid that when the sun rises tomorrow, the launcher of the rocket launcher will be set up! Before noon, we will know what happened over there.
explode!"
"Yes! It must be a loud noise!" Yevlov stamped his feet and roared excitedly. Then he paused for more than ten seconds, and he realized an extremely embarrassing question.
"No! Comrade Salinchkin! Wait! Let's wait! The rocket launcher will be launched tomorrow. Who can tell us that the rockets really hit the city? We don't have spies in the city!"
"There are no spies?" Salinchkin said nothing nonsense: "You don't have to worry about this! Now we will order the communications department to contact the resistance organizations active in Chernihiv. They will collect intelligence for us, and finally
, we will even know which street the rocket exploded on, and so on!"
"So that's it, then give him your full support!" Yevlov turned and looked to the east. The situation was really great! "It's great! Our arsenal is still producing rockets these days. With these flying fish, we
It is unimaginable that we can bombard the enemy for a long time, we are making history!"
"Of course! Comrade Yevlov, this not only belongs to Comrade Berekov, but also to you, to the 63rd Army, and even more to the Organic Republic. For this, we can all get honors. We are not scientists, let alone
No bloody battle with the enemy on the front line! What we can do is to provide a very stable rear area for the eight thousand soldiers on the front line. This is our most important job at the moment! I think we should also continue to supervise the placement of those prisoners of war.
There is also the treatment of the injured who were torn off, and the care of the various trophies that arrived at the blacksmith village!"
"Then let's take action!" Yevlov didn't want to stay at the headquarters anymore and smoked a stale cigarette. "Let's go and see that prisoner of war, that senior enemy officer named Brimayu. I really want to know now.
What information did your comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs learn from him?"
