The conversation between these two men did not matter at all to the soldiers of the Second Regiment accompanying them. The army was arranged in four columns, most of the baggage was thrown on the captured carriages, and the soldiers marched lightly. In fact, there were only a few soldiers in the entire Second Regiment.
There is only one woman, Natasha. Now, some soldiers learned such amazing news through this conversation - Natasha Spiroskina's total record has exceeded 200.
After these daily trainings, the soldiers who mainly relied on playing poker and maintaining their own firearms to kill the boredom gained new things to talk about.
Natasha, she doesn't care.
Now, the enemy's revenge for killing her parents has been avenged. The reason for fighting, in addition to the very noble "fighting for the Soviet motherland", she also fights for Commander Belekov.
The commander himself is here, riding a big horse with high spirits, behind him are a group of guards, and are escorted by the division's reconnaissance battalion who have experienced many battles.
The girl was full of admiration and gratitude for the commander, and she would never dare to show too much intimacy like Besica did.
Yang Mingzhi always knew that Natasha, whom he loved to see, was in the army behind him, and until this battle, the girl really lived up to expectations and achieved great results.
He had no intention of chatting with this girl, and deliberately relaxed some military discipline controls, allowing the soldiers to talk freely during the march. Therefore, this mighty marching team was very noisy, and everyone talked about random things, making a lot of noise.
It was also heard by the local defenders long before they arrived at the camp in Misi Village.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Yang Mingzhi's "frontline headquarters" finally moved to Mixi Ferry, followed by nearly 3,000 soldiers and 50 carriages.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the third regiment, which moved slower overall, also arrived at Misi Ferry. Even though this unit suffered serious losses, the proportion of female soldiers was still very large. After all, most of these female soldiers were fighting for the first time.
, so many comrades were sacrificed in the first battle, so their spirits were a little depressed. Perhaps this is the difference between recruits and veterans, just like the soldiers of the second regiment, they will no longer be sad after seeing their comrades sacrificed, their spirits
They were somewhat numb, and some almost shook their heads in regret at the dead, and then continued to fight.
Yang Mingzhi arrived at Misi Ferry and looked at the broad Dnieper River with mixed emotions. "We have arrived at this river again. It seems that I have been away from it for too long."
In fact, only six days have passed since the first unit crossed the river. But these six days feel like a month has passed. Which soldier is not mentally refreshed during these days!
Yang Mingzhi is also an ordinary person. As long as he crosses the river, he can quickly return to the Blacksmith Village and reunite with his wife. What a happy thing it is!
However, as the commander, he must not cross the river with a reed. The brothers fought together to the left bank of the river and achieved a huge military victory. Of course, they returned in triumph together. It would be best to have a victory parade in Blacksmith Village, the largest residential area.
It will definitely boost morale like never before!
Speaking of Missi Ferry, Kavitsky, the head of the Blacksmith Village, is now the temporary person in charge here. After the third regiment went to the battlefield, he was in charge of all personnel arrangements.
When he urgently reported his work to the commander, he revealed: "We originally had twenty ferry ropes, which were light but not wear-resistant. During the previous transportation of prisoners of war, a major accident occurred when the ropes broke. Very fortunately, the prisoners of war
Their arms were tied and connected in series, and we easily fished out all those who fell into the water, and no one died."
Even so, Yang Mingzhi was shocked. He didn't want to hear the reason why the cable broke. He just wanted to transport all the troops across the river. After learning that after inspection, there were still fifteen ferry lines that were absolutely safe, he immediately ordered: "We have no
Time is running out any longer, and soon all the soldiers and a huge amount of loot will gather here! The troops must cross the river immediately, and act now."
The soldiers of the second regiment had just rested for a while when they received the order to cross the river. The majority of the soldiers were very much looking forward to this. After all, as long as they crossed the river, they would be like wild horses running wild, and they would all be able to run back to the Blacksmith Village before dark.
Back to the barracks where I have been away for a long time!
The number of casualties in the second regiment during the entire battle was quite small, and the total number of casualties just exceeded one hundred. The victims have been buried on the battlefield, and the injured were rushed to this ferry after the battle yesterday. Those people have already returned early.
Already.
The remaining two thousand people, organized into battalions, officially began to cross the river at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the soldiers began to board the rafts one after another.
As before, each raft still adopts the ferry mode of carrying thirty people. Compared with the situation when setting off, these soldiers standing on the rafts are moving lightly, so no one is worried that they will fall into the river, even if
If you really fall into the water accidentally, you should be able to escape easily.
There are seventeen ferry lines and a total of thirty-four rafts. It is absolutely no problem to pass one camp at a time.
Yang Mingzhi thought so, Kavitsky thought so, and the officers and soldiers present thought that crossing the river was already very easy.
Isn't it easy? One trip back and forth on one route. If the soldiers are diligent, it only takes 20 minutes at most. This is true for all routes. It only takes a regiment more than an hour to cross the river.
What's more, they currently have a secret weapon. The captured Type 1124 gunboat has also been used as a barge with a larger load capacity. According to Kavitsky, the ship is purely for transporting troops and can carry one company at a time.
It is also more efficient.
The Soviet army's means of crossing the river were nothing more than ferries, gunboats, independent rafts, and canoes. In fact, Yang Mingzhi also knew that if there was a bridge here, the entire army would be able to cross the river today.
Unfortunately, these are all good ideas, and building a floating bridge is currently unrealistic.
The current method of crossing the river is quite efficient. Yang Mingzhi is very determined to stand at the left bank pier of Mixi Ferry and watch the troops crossing the river one after another. The crossing of the river is indeed developing as he expected. The first batch of people crossing the river is as high as two battalions. They
Most of them stood on rafts for the steady ferry, and some rode in canoes. As for the gunboat, it seemed to have become a heavy equipment for the troops, especially the transport vehicle for those recoilless rifles that had made great achievements.
If there was anything that dissatisfied him, it was that the soldiers boarded the raft. This process took a lot of time. Fortunately, a thousand people could be transported at one time. If it took more than an hour, the second group
Just crossed the river.
Once the raft was fully loaded, the civilians on the other side began to pull the traction rope, and the soldiers on the raft also began to paddle in cooperation. By 3:30 in the afternoon, one line had completed a round trip, and the second round of transportation had begun.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the third regiment also arrived at Mixi Ferry, and they brought an even larger number of horse-drawn carriages.
There are a large number of female soldiers, and their military uniforms are quite unique. Their appearance at Missi Ferry immediately became a new sight.
A large number of soldiers were blowing whistles at him, even soldiers standing on rafts on the river. This was already considered harassment. Yang Mingzhi frowned and didn't want to pay attention. He led the guards directly to the commander of the third regiment, Ana.
Toli gave a simple order: "Now, all your troops are on standby and lined up here. I saw your people were tired from walking too much and were sitting on the ground to rest. This is not allowed!"
"Yes! Comrade Commander! I will order everyone to stand up."
"Very good! Remember my order, your men follow the second regiment. When they all cross the river, your men board the raft."
"Yes! However, we are responsible for guarding the carriage and some seized weapons and ammunition. What should we do with these supplies? What if..."
"Ignore these for now!" Yang Mingzhi raised his head, glanced at the long queue of horse-drawn carriages, and sighed slightly. "Well, we have captured too many horses and vehicles! However, these things are not as precious as people.
! I announce that you have finished escorting the spoils. Now take your personal equipment and quickly go to the other side! After that, you can reorganize the troops and go to have dinner. After recharging your strength, we will all go home tomorrow morning."
"Yes! Comrade Commander!" Anatole showed a pleased smile on his face.
