That night, the arsenal in the Blacksmith Village was opened.
This night is destined to be very lively. There are almost no sleepy people in the entire blacksmith village. Nearly ten thousand villagers will be assaulted and armed, especially the women. They will line up in multiple lines for a mile, waiting for the distribution in an orderly manner.
arms.
Some people were issued rifles and half a base of bullets, while others only received four grenades. Most of the bullets issued were reloaded bullets, and the grenades were modified from cans.
Only a smaller number of people received machine guns and a larger amount of ammunition.
After getting the weapons, they returned to their respective residences. Starting from June 30, the new unit will begin emergency special training.
At most, these people are used as logistics troops to transport supplies to the front line. It is crazy to expect them to fight.
At least the Soviet army mobilized all standing militia battalions, two female corps regiments and two new independent regiments for assault expansion, which ultimately increased the Soviet regular army's second-line strength by about 10,000 people.
In fact, if the main force can be operated well, it is not impossible to win a battle with less and more.
Fuming has personally coordinated many logistics matters, and Deputy Commander Yevlov has personally supervised them. Now Yang Mingzhi only needs to command the troops well.
He sent people to build beds in the headquarters. For a period of time in the future, this place would not only be a place for strategizing, but also a place for eating and sleeping.
Everything also gave Yang Mingzhi a faint illusion. In this small wooden house, he was playing a huge strategic game, a death game in which failure would lead to death. The game would officially start at dawn tomorrow.
.
Yang Mingzhi only has one worry at the moment. Although he knows the size of the German army and the general march route, he does not know when the different enemy units will attack. This battle is supported by the so-called Red October Guerrilla Brigade in the north. They
How will we launch an attack?
The superiors attached great importance to this battle and regarded it as a regional battle.
"That's right! The German army calls this battle Operation RUHE, and our Soviet army calls it the Battle of Homnich-Loev."
With this thought in his mind, Yang Mingzhi immediately determined the name of the battle. He asked the secretary to come over, record it, and send the changed name to Moscow.
In the future Soviet Union, even the Republic of Belarus, and the historical study of the Patriotic War in the Russian Federation, this small battle must not be described with a name and a brief summary. Yang Mingzhi made up his mind that this battle must be a great victory.
On June 30, the sun rose very early as usual, and as usual, the land was still engulfed in thick fog.
As the saying goes, food and supplies go first before troops and horses are moved. The Soviet army mobilized all trucks and carriages, and even manpower, and began to transport ammunition and supplies, especially food, to Homnich and Loev!
The army rations mainly consisted of potatoes, followed by the newly baked bread or boiled flour cakes from the dozen or so carts of flour seized. All the various cans in stock were also used in this battle.
It can be said that in this battle, the food for the frontline soldiers was much better than before. Yang Mingzhi knew very well that excellent military rations were the key to maintaining the soldiers' confidence, and the intelligence correction to the enemy having 20,000 people should also reassure the soldiers.
When the fog filled the air, more than fifty carriages loaded with ammunition and potatoes began to advance towards Homnich. The troop escorting the supplies was none other than Joshua's First Regiment of Female Soldiers.
Another fifty carriages loaded with supplies were escorted by Sashanova's Second Regiment of Female Soldiers and advanced towards Loev.
Yang Mingzhi worked late that night. After he fell asleep, the busy communication room received many more telegrams. At eight o'clock in the morning, the carriage and truck team had been moving forward for a long time. After Yang Mingzhi woke up due to urgency of urination, he also realized that
I slept for too long.
Instead of going to the toilet, he hurried to the communications room.
"Comrades! Did you receive any new telegrams during the night?!"
The girls who were the correspondents were stunned. It was time for the shift change of the communication platoon, but only the platoon leader Alexeev stood firm. He stood in front of Yang Mingzhi with a few messages and saluted.
"Report! We have not received a telegram from the guerrilla movement headquarters."
Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi sighed slightly. "Okay, tell me what kind of telegram you received."
"It's a telegram from the frontline troops. They started executing the command's orders before the sun set yesterday."
Yang Mingzhi nodded, read the message carefully after receiving it, and murmured: "Very good! Very good! The Parachute Brigade sent troops north for reconnaissance, and the first regiment also went north. The cavalry battalion actually marched at night. They and their horses are very strong.
Well!"
He continued to watch, and saw the message from Lavlendi of the First Regiment. In addition to reporting that the troops had resumed their formation, and that Loyev had been cleaned up that night, the troops completed the forest ambush, which also explained something very special.
Yang Mingzhi's eyes widened and he asked: "Alexeyev, there is indeed nothing wrong with the code you translated?!"
"No problem at all, I swear on my honor and my life."
"I believe you! It seems that the commander of my reconnaissance battalion still made the decision without authorization!"
It turned out that Lavrenti reported Balzen's surprise attack on the puppet troops. Some of the puppet troops captured by the troops are currently in custody in Homnich. Originally, this group of traitors were to be sent back for interrogation. At present, it seems that these
People are almost a burden.
Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi suddenly remembered that he had ordered Balzen not to take prisoners of war after capturing Loyev yesterday.
He raided and found the telegram sent by Balzen, and sure enough, all the captured German and puppet prisoners of war were shot.
So looking at Lavrenti's cable, here is a very strange report.
The puppet troops who were surprise-organized into the troops by Balzen did participate in Loev's offensive operations, and the executioners who shot the prisoners of war were these puppet troops who jumped over to the rebels. Yang Mingzhi had fully understood everything that happened on the front line, and it must have been
Balzen felt that the strength of his troops was seriously declining, so he used this method to expand his troops. Killing prisoners was also a form of surrender.
Yang Mingzhi frowned. Balzen's behavior was a serious violation of military discipline! However, these are extraordinary times. If those traitors are sincerely willing to return to the Red Army and fight against the invaders, their past sins can be forgiven.
"Alexeyev!"
"arrive!"
"Send a report to the direct reconnaissance battalion immediately! Just send this: Owl, I have nothing against the puppet army. Anyway, if this happens again in the future, you must report it honestly. I will give you a demerit this time. If you don't win the battle in the future, you will
Commit suicide to apologize!"
Alexeyev was stunned: "Commander, this is what we're going to issue?"
"Yes! Don't pronounce a word wrong. That's it. I have something to go out now."
Alexeyev asked garrulously: "Ah? Commander, are you in a hurry?"
"Do you have to ask when I need to go to the toilet?" Yang Mingzhi said casually as he was walking away quickly, making the correspondent girl laugh.
Only Alexeyev kept a straight face and ordered: "Stop laughing, we will send a report to the reconnaissance camp immediately!"
