Yang Mingzhi slammed the table: "Comrades! The enemy's army is coming. It's unprecedented!"
"There are actually 30,000 people. There won't be any problem with the intelligence from the superiors. How could there be so many enemies in previous battles?"
"Yevlov, we should trust the intelligence from our superiors. We have just annihilated 4,000 enemy soldiers. The enemy's losses were very serious. It is reasonable for them to launch a large-scale attack in anger. Besides!" Yang Mingzhi emphasized in particular that in the telegram, the Soviet spies had uncovered
The code name of the German army's operation. "The code name of the German army's attack is ruhe, which means tranquility. How can we achieve tranquility? Only by annihilating us all can the enemy find tranquility."
"Okay!" Yevlov pursed his lips and made up his mind, "They came with 30,000 people, so let these 30,000 people go to hell! My only attitude is to kill them!"
Not only Yevlov has such a resolute attitude, but everyone in the command has the same attitude. The young staff officers hope to stand out in the new war, while the older people are facing great pressure. At least everyone
Our attitude is very consistent, that is, we must unite as one to win the new anti-encirclement and suppression battle.
Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered: "All staff officers! Assemble! Order soldiers, immediately worry about all battalion-level and above commanders of the remaining troops! Signal soldiers, after emergency gathering, immediately send a war warning to all collective farm Soviets! All village chiefs immediately
Meet at the Blacksmith Village."
This day was June 29, the order was sent in the morning, and the news of the enemy's situation quickly spread throughout the guerrilla republic.
It can be said that the enemy situation this time is the most serious since the 284th Division entered the swamp last year. There are actually 30,000 troops coming to kill?! The Guerrilla Republic was suddenly panicked.
Because the situation was urgent, Yang Mingzhi had no time to go to the canteen, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch. All the staff members gathered first, and he led the group of subordinates and began to look at the map and strategize.
In the group army headquarters, the staff officers were using the current intelligence, placing some wooden blocks on the map, and starting to mark the enemy's approximate advance route.
Yang Mingzhi is almost the only think tank of the 63rd Army. Everyone else relies on his wisdom. If he shows nervousness at this time, it will undoubtedly be a blow to morale.
He bit his fingers and frowned, and said plausibly: "Can't our intelligence personnel provide more detailed information? They just told me that one enemy group is coming from the north and one is coming from the direction of Chernihiv.
"The enemy is advancing in two directions. Is his goal aimed at Loyev? Or is he going to go deep into the swamp and attack our base area?"
Yevlov also has his own opinions on this.
"Berekov, I think the enemy still wants to take action against our guerrilla republic. Intelligence shows that they have even dispatched the armed SS. If it is just to take Loyev back, it would be a bit of a fuss."
Yang Mingzhi was silent for a moment, "In previous battles, our enemies were all second- and third-rate troops. When Loyev encircled the point for reinforcements, we were attacked by new German tanks and destroyed them after paying a great price."
.I think the enemy's elite should be stronger. If the purpose of Operation Ruhe is to destroy our core area, then what should we do?"
"Of course, all the people are soldiers, and the whole people are mobilized for the guerrilla republic!" Fuming interjected at the right time.
"We can only use all the people as soldiers." Yang Mingzhi raised his head and sighed slightly, "Well, the so-called all people as soldiers means that women and children can also take up arms. I don't want them, who are born weak, to go to the battlefield.
!”
By a very coincidence, Salinchkin rushed to the army headquarters at this time and happened to hear Yang Mingzhi's sigh.
"Oh? Belekov, don't you discriminate against women?"
"Are you here?" Yang Mingzhi suddenly turned his head. "Comrade Salinchkin, you came just in time. We must hold a military meeting. This time, we must mobilize the whole people!"
In fact, Salinchkin was a little scared in his heart. He was never afraid of death, but he was very worried that the largest armed force behind enemy lines in the Great Patriotic War would be in ruins after this enemy attack. Even here
Berekov is a genius. Thirty thousand enemies come to kill him. Even a genius would be exhausted.
How to command the troops in combat depends on the commander's strategy and tactics. As chairman of the Soviet of Partisan Republics, Salinchkin's task is to protect this tiny union republic.
"Comrade Berekov, I heard what you just said. I can feel the anger in your heart. Indeed, we have no other way to go now. We have been surrounded by enemies and there is no possibility of retreat.
We must be able to fight hard. We must mobilize the whole people, and all women and children must take up arms."
"I know this truth!" Yang Mingzhi responded immediately, "Women and children take up arms not only to fight the enemy, but to protect themselves. The worst possibility in the battle is that the enemy comes in. Since they sent the armed SS, it proves
They have an attitude of not leaving anyone alive. Alas, the women have never received any military training."
"At least they have learned how to shoot! Besides, we still have a large inventory of the weapons we captured. I made a rough calculation and found that once all women are mobilized, the guerrilla republic's strength will be as high as 40,000."
"Forty thousand?! That's crazy." Yevlov expressed shock on the spot. However, Salinchkin came prepared this time. He snapped his fingers, and soon several members of the Communist Youth League entered the room with briefcases under their arms.
.
Sarinchkin introduced carefully: "In the briefcase is a rough statistics. In our archives, we can find the roster of all citizens of the Guerrilla Republic. Their age, original place of origin, educational background, etc. have been compiled."
.If we mobilize all people between the ages of 13 and 60, the number of troops will skyrocket to 45,000. Now the guerrilla republic is facing a huge survival problem. To put it cold-blooded, at this time, the life and death of some people has become difficult.
No worries, we must do our best to preserve the guerrilla republic! After all, this is a legal republic!"
Sarinchkin deliberately raised his voice too high and emphasized the political significance of the guerrilla republic.
Yang Mingzhi was not here to listen to his ideological lessons. This time he encountered a disaster. It was almost impossible to survive without bleeding. He stamped his feet: "Then let's mobilize the whole people according to your idea.
!This is a decisive battle. If you don’t succeed, you will fail.”
At two o'clock in the afternoon on June 29, the village chief Womansky of the most remote Black Earth Village came riding at full speed on horseback.
An emergency meeting of the guerrilla republic was quickly convened.
There was no argument at all in this meeting. The meeting started with a political lesson from Sarinchkin. As Chairman of the Soviet of Partisan Republics, as well as a senior leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Commissioner Stalin, he issued a general mobilization order to the three collective farms.
The command.
That is to say, all men aged 13 to 60 and all women aged 13 to 50 will be mobilized. The army will begin to expand on June 29. All agricultural production will be suspended, and all farmers will become militia, and according to the previous labor groups,
Organized into militia battalions.
The total number of armed forces of the Guerrilla Republic has reached an astonishing number of 46,000!
It’s just that this number seems very huge, but the content is seriously filled with water.
