Chapter 1418 The Raid of Five Thousand Female Soldiers (1)
This sentence alone made Miroshniko believe that this woman was anything but simple.
Indeed, the only task at the moment is to capture the dirt road, and continuing to linger here will not help the battle.
"Okay, now I order the female soldiers to collect the money, and all the soldiers will rest here for the time being. Comrade Joshua, I want to convene an emergency military meeting immediately."
Joshua nodded, and with her orders, thousands of female soldiers stood at attention almost at the same time, with their rifle butts hanging on the ground. Their skillful actions surprised Miroshniko again. He had underestimated them before.
.
It was the actions of the female soldiers that suddenly made Miroshniko come up with a plan. Perhaps, in the next battle, the female soldiers will be able to perform a key combat mission?
Thousands of soldiers sat on the ground to calm down, clean their guns, eat some dry food and drink some water, in preparation for a new attack.
A total of five senior officers gathered together, three of them, Miroshniko, Medvedev and Tchaikov. They were all slovenly and smelled of gun smoke, and the three of them were in a somewhat decadent mental state.
Medvedev said pessimistically: "Damn the Germans, their artillery almost killed all my men! I rushed in to conduct a troop count. I originally had nearly 2,500 men, but now only those left can fight.
There were 1,400 people. Many people were blown to pieces, and many others were seriously injured."
"My situation is slightly better." Chaikov said with a sullen face. "Only a few German artillery fires hit my offensive position. Even so, I lost 500 people. Maybe half of those who actually died from the artillery fire
, the rest of the casualties came from German machine gun fire."
Looking at these two men, Miroshniko couldn't help lamenting his fate. He murmured: "In the guerrilla brigade directly under me, there are less than one integrated battalion that can continue to fight. We have lost about two people in the battle so far.
With 1,200 people, it was a brutal battle."
"Let's report this situation, the commander might faint!" Chaikov's words made others tremble. The number of casualties was really too high. Even on the most cruel battlefield, two people were lost in less than two hours of fighting.
Thousands of people, what a huge loss.
Miroshniko clapped his hands to liven up the bleak atmosphere. He emphasized: "The commander's order to us is to occupy the road at all costs. Although we have suffered huge casualties, we have reached the dirt road and must continue to fight.
.I think the German 634th Division is also on the verge of collapse. As long as we try harder, they will be defeated."
"Yes!" The excited Medvedev stood up. At this moment, he was no longer the "cowardly guerrilla captain" who would rather go around in circles with the Germans than take the initiative to fight. He was deeply shocked by the performance of the female soldiers. Even the women
If you are so determined to defend your country and avenge the deaths of your compatriots, why do you still have any reason to be hesitant?
"The source of our huge losses is those damn German artillery. If they are finished, our threat will be gone!"
Miroshniko said decisively: "Then kill them!"
"Huh? Kill the artillery?" Medvedev immediately asked: "Have you found their artillery position?"
"No, but I noticed such a detail. Most of the German artillery shells exploded in the air. Specifically, they hit trees and exploded. Some shells hit the dirt road area, but the soil lifted up was lifted horizontally.
."
"What does this mean?" Medvedev asked.
"It's very simple. There is a problem with the angle of the German artillery shells. The artillery shells hit us at a very small angle, and the German artillery positions are nearby. I am not a professional artilleryman, but as the commander of the 17th Guerrilla Brigade, I have received
Formal military training. I can conclude that the German artillery positions did not enter the forest. They set up positions on the plain on the right side of the forest, right next to the forest."
"They are too arrogant!" Medvedev gritted his teeth and said, "We must kill them first! The commander's order also said that when enemy artillery is discovered, it should be destroyed first."
"Then there's nothing to say." Miroshniko glared at Joshua, making her a little embarrassed. "Comrade Joshua, your army has maintained an excellent organization. The performance of the female corps makes me believe in you.
They are troops with strong combat capabilities. Can we protrude into the forest to the east and take out the enemy's artillery positions?"
"No problem at all!"
Joshua's answer was unusually decisive. As soon as she finished speaking, Sashanova also expressed her positive attitude: "Why should her troops be allowed to win the victory alone? The second regiment of our female corps is also as tough. Let's talk about the battle in January this year.
I led my troops to defeat the artillery battalion of the infantry regiment of the 715th Division."
The past victories also made Joshua couldn't help but recount it again: "Indeed, our female soldiers were Ula Charge in that battle, and the captured howitzers were also used in this battle."
Sashanova looked at Joshua with a smile: "Sister, I think we can recreate the glory. We have five thousand sisters, and we charge as a group of five thousand people. I wonder if our country has so many female soldiers
There is no precedent for simultaneous offensive operations? There is no such thing! We just want to create history and seize the artillery positions of the German 634th Division."
This was the first time Miroshnik heard the memories of the two of them. He never expected that the 75mm field guns he saw when he first entered the guerrilla republic with his remnants were actually captured by these women. He was even more impressed by the bravery of Slavic women.
, and fully believe that they will create history.
He stood up with firm eyes, and the two female officers also stood up at the same time.
"My order! The first and second regiments of the female regiments immediately rush eastward, find the German artillery positions and annihilate them in one fell swoop. When the operation is successful, immediately report victory by radio."
"Yes!" they both said in unison.
…
In the previous battles of the left bank troops, the female barracks had no chance to fight. Of course, the main factor was that they were the organic troops who finally landed on the left bank through Missi Ferry. There were 6,000 friendly troops on the front line, and the battle was indeed a turn.
There are no female soldiers among them.
Finally, the female soldiers got the chance to fight. This was of course based on the huge casualties suffered by the Soviet troops on the front line.
There was no time for the female soldiers to waste time. Joshua and Sashanova returned to their camp and summoned all the female soldiers, including non-combatants in the regiment.
After a brief and impassioned pre-war speech, at 5:50 in the afternoon, the female soldiers, numbering as many as 5,000, began to rush eastward.
No one shouted "Ula", only pairs of legs and feet with firm steps, rifles with thorns on the shafts, and the female soldiers' desire for revenge against the invaders.
Five thousand female soldiers charged at the same time. Not to mention female soldiers, such a crazy charge was rare even for ordinary Soviet troops.
It was as if the combat style had returned to the First World War. The First World War had just broken out, and all countries believed that the intensive charge of infantry was the key to victory. In the end, this combat situation was ruined by machine gun fire.
Of course, the two female corps were not charging stupidly. After all, they were troops specially trained by Yang Mingzhi. They formed two huge triangles, each with a front of 1,800 meters and a depth of one kilometer.
.
It seems that their formation is very loose, and their firepower is not weak. The female soldiers are indeed equipped with recoilless guns and RPGs, and each regiment also has five 80mm mortars. Of course, the main attack power lies in the recoilless guns.
At medium and short range, RPG can work wonders.
Five thousand female soldiers quickly rushed out of the forest. Then, many soldiers saw a lot of abrupt black shadows on the eastern horizon.
The sun was setting in the west, and the dim sunlight from the west shone on the metal. The reflected metallic luster was easily spotted by Joshua holding the telescope.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, waved her right arm, and shouted with all her strength: "Comrades, the enemy is due east, Ula!"
