There were many fishers in the city's troubled waters, including of course the members of the resistance organization who stood anonymously in the square and watched their comrades die heroically. When the general public dispersed, these dozen people simply took advantage of the chaos and rushed to the gallows.
They easily cut off the rope with daggers, put down the strangled comrade who was dying, and then helped him blend into the fleeing crowd.
Their action was only seen by a small number of German soldiers. The limited shooting did not stop their action of robbing the law field, but instead increased the chaos.
It was not until this moment that the members of the underground resistance organization in Chernihiv finally realized that the somewhat obscure telegram was referring to this.
"It seems that friendly forces have deployed rocket launchers outside the city, and we, Katyusha, are starting to show off their power. Let's go quickly. It seems that we have to go to the stronghold outside the city to avoid the limelight for the time being." The leader of the resistance organization greeted his subordinates. Everyone
Everyone knows that this time is really "justice from heaven", but this justice has also affected too many defenseless residents.
The resistance organizations in each occupied city got in touch with the higher-level organization, the guerrilla movement headquarters, within the year when the war broke out. Their actions have gradually become regularized. On the one hand, they are carrying out conventional sabotage operations, such as assassinations.
Valuable officers of the German army and the puppet army caused damage such as arson in some warehouses. What they did most was to provide intelligence support, such as the garrison situation of the German army in the city, the personnel changes and military transfers of the German army, etc.
The frequency of assassinations carried out by these resistance groups in cities is increasing, and this is true throughout the occupied areas of the Soviet Union.
However, when they cause destruction, they always avoid civilian casualties as close as possible. They simply hope that the Germans, puppet troops, and traitors will all die. Even the anti-rape operations are targeted at individuals, and their families and children are rarely involved.
Based on these people's outlook, they could only speculate that these were comrades from the Guerrilla Republic firing rockets.
Their guess was absolutely correct, but they failed to guess that the rocket was launched from a distant place.
For the large number of people who fell to the ground in the square, the bloody and tragic scene really shocked the guerrilla fighters of these resistance organizations. Most of the victims were civilians, and they were killed by the guerrilla rockets.
In the chaos, these soldiers did not think much, and they were helpless to deal with the large number of wailing wounded. Only after everything was settled, could they evaluate the friendly attack again, not to mention, they had to sort out the details of the attack and go to
Inform the Partisan Republic and Ponomarenko as far away as Moscow.
…
The first round of bombardment was four "Flying Fish" bombs. After the fourth bomb exploded, the remaining six also began their journey.
From Yang Mingzhi's perspective, he had no idea of the fact that the rockets successfully bombed the target. He could only speculate, and hoped that the rockets would be very lucky, such as hitting the enemy's ammunition depot with one shot, causing an earthquake.
Explode.
These beautiful long-cherished wishes have a very low probability of success!
The second round of bombardment was delayed by ten minutes, and these ten minutes were enough for the riot to ferment. The German army and the pseudo-police were trying hard to maintain order. They became increasingly impatient, and they shot at the fleeing citizens in the street more and more frequently.
Black smoke rose in the city, and a fire broke out early in one area. The fire was likely to spread. There were constant gunshots and shouts in the city. The whole city seemed to be engaged in street fighting!
The rocket did not harm Hendlison at all. The German division commander felt really uncomfortable. After regaining his composure, he hurried to the division headquarters. Faced with the chaos in the city, he desperately called his subordinates.
Order them to take the most severe measures to end this riot, which seems to be out of control.
At least the phone lines were not blown down, and the German military units in the city received the death order from the division headquarters very well. They were indeed unable to control the riots within the city, but their armored vehicles and motorcycles, as well as a large number of soldiers with live ammunition, could
Easily block all roads in and out of the city. The order they received was very cruel and simple, that is, any citizen who wanted to leave the city would be shot to death!
They had just received the order and opened fire very decisively. Some citizens who ran towards the farmland in the suburbs died under the guns of the Germans. The large number of deaths shocked the living citizens. It was at this juncture that the citizens and the Germans...
Puppet military police, they heard the kind of roar that can bring death again.
Everyone looked up at the blue sky and saw something with a white tail hitting the city.
What is this? The Germans can only think of that weapon - the Katyusha rocket launcher.
Nowadays, everyone knows that the power of this Soviet rocket launcher is amazing. When it falls next to a tank, the powerful shock wave can even overturn the best Panzer IV tank in the German army at this stage.
A large number of citizens did not flee out of the city, but turned around and ran towards the nearest building. Who knows how long these rocket launchers will bombard them, maybe they can escape by hiding in reinforced concrete buildings.
This is true for the citizens, and so is the German army. However, the time given to them to escape is gone.
These six rockets hit the city about five minutes apart, and the distance was so far away. Even if Yang Mingzhi estimated that the accuracy of the "Flying Fish" he took the lead in building was far superior to that of its contemporaries. It flew too far, and as expected, this
The landing points of the six bombs were indeed a bit messy. The only thing to be thankful for was that they all hit the city limits.
The explosion of the German ammunition depot that Yang Mingzhi expected was absolutely impossible, because the German army had long been disgusted by the destructive behavior of the group of "rats" in the city. If there were still ammunition depots in the city, they would have tried to detonate it.
The most valuable target in the entire city is the granary.
There was a clever Exocet rocket that hit the city's granary without any bias and exploded next to a large granary. It set the building on fire and quickly ignited the granary next to it.
The granary in Chernihiv was built before the war. When the German army occupied the city, there was still a large amount of semolina in the granary. The source of wheat was the wheat fields around the city. Before the new wheat harvest, the occupying army's
A large part of the military rations comes from these captured grains. After all, the German army's front line is too long, and the troops stationed in various places must be supplied on-site!
When the new bombardment occurred, Hendryson was still on the phone. With a burst of vibration and violent explosions, the call was interrupted. It was a call to the garrison in the west of the city. He suddenly looked through the window and saw
A cloud of black smoke rose to the west.
"Damn it! Damn the Russians! Repairing the phone lines is a troublesome thing now!" He stomped his feet and cursed. His mind was filled with curses on the Soviet Union, and he did not feel the danger at all.
On the contrary, his guards were nervous, and the entire division's staff officers also moved to the basement under the order of Chief of Staff Schmidt.
Schmidt ran to the division commander worriedly: "Sir! I think you should step aside. The enemy's rockets are very powerful, but their accuracy is poor. I'm very worried."
"Forget it! I'm a very lucky person. Their rocket launchers can't kill me, let alone this building!"
Hendrickson was not blown up on the spot because he raised the flag, but his soldiers suffered disaster - some German officers and soldiers were killed directly by shrapnel impact and secondary damage from collapsed buildings.
Hendryson regarded himself as a Junker noble, and he admired his fearless spirit in the face of danger. At this moment, he felt like a real warrior, and those staff officers who hid in the basement to avoid gunfire were all cowards!
The bombardment started suddenly and ended suddenly. The riots in the city continued, but the bombardment was over.
Hendrickson was sitting alone at his desk. When something like this happened, the so-called celebration banquet at noon was canceled. He knew that he had to deal with this mess and report the attack to his superiors.
However, just as he settled down, the phone on the table suddenly rang loudly.
He raised the phone decisively, feeling nervous and expecting: "Who called? What are the casualties?"
"Yes..." The officer over there wanted to announce his name, but the situation was urgent, so the man ignored any etiquette and shouted heartbreakingly: "Commander! Something happened! Our granary! It's on fire.
