Yevlov asked: "Shocked! Do you still have time to worry?!"
"Of course, as we all know, I cherish my soldiers very much. This time, we won tragically, and the German army suffered a tragic defeat. The battle on the left bank was on the front line, and it was also a very intense war. In the end, we won, and our army
The troops on the left bank were also reduced sharply to 9,000."
It was rare for Yevlov to sigh among his close comrades. He patted Yang Mingzhi generously on the shoulder and said: "Ordering a full-scale attack by the troops is the intention of everyone in the headquarters. Besides, battlefield battles are simply unavoidable. Besides,
, before giving the order, can you be sure that the troops will defeat the German army just after nightfall? Wasn't our order just for Miroshniko to occupy that damn dirt road? Anyway, we agreed to fight on the left bank in a few hours. Beliko
Husband, stop your boring ammunition, the Soviet Red Army is not afraid of casualties, as long as it can defeat the fascists, any casualties are acceptable."
"It's really... it's really..." Yang Mingzhi was speechless for a moment.
As the commander, he had great power. He suddenly realized that when he issued military orders, other officers must execute them. The army is the least democratic place, and his words, Yang Mingzhi's, were the only orders.
He paused for a while and said slowly: "I have thought about it. As for whether to launch a full-scale attack on the enemies of Homnich tomorrow, my attitude is to hold off."
"What? Hold on?"
"Yes, Comrade Deputy Commander."
"Why? The enemy will not sleep. We must seize the victory and annihilate it."
"Let's let our soldiers get some sleep first! The troops need at least a full day to rest and recuperate." Yang Mingzhi said loudly, "Our soldiers are not supermen. Suddenly there were 5,000 casualties. The soldiers' panic needs a rest and recuperation.
Besides, our army has consumed a lot of ammunition, which needs to be replenished by assault. As for the battle against the enemy in Homnich, I thought about it. The failed charge of the Jewish regiment has proved the solidity of the German field offensive. We
Conventional charges cannot be used and superior weapons must be used.
So, what is our superior weapon?"
"It's a rocket," Yevlov said immediately.
"During these days, the arsenal has not stopped production. Thirty more Catfish rockets have come off the production line, and we also have some long-range Exocet rockets. As of now, these weapons can be used to bombard the enemy. According to what Joshua sent
According to the telegram, the female regiment occupied the position of the German artillery regiment, and only captured 500 75mm artillery shells. Doronin's artillery included five 75mm howitzers, and these German artillery shells were transported to Homnich.
, it will definitely deal a major blow to the German army."
When we got here, Yevlov, Fomin and Salinchkin were all excited about Yang Mingzhi's decision.
The troops did have a reason to rest for a day, not only to recharge their batteries, but also because they needed time to transport heavy weapons to Homnich's army.
In response to this situation, the headquarters held another discussion, and no one questioned Yang Mingzhi's decision.
"Very good, our army will organize a transport team to transport the catfish rockets from the arsenal, and then order the troops on the left bank to transport the shells to the other side as soon as possible. As for how to transport them, our gunboats will serve as transport ships, and then our
Trucks move into action."
The 63rd Group Army has never been weak. The German trucks captured in January were only dispatched at critical moments. What is a critical moment? It is now.
Salinchkin fully supports this: "You don't have to worry about the trucks, I will organize the transportation team now."
"Here comes Comrade Commissioner Labor. If possible, you can also mobilize all the jeeps. We need a fast motorized arms transportation."
"OK."
"One more thing. The captured commander of the 634th Division, that Hendryson, should be this name. That person must be brought back tomorrow, and that person must be alive. The interrogation work is also yours to do, Comrade Commissioner."
"Of course I will take care of this."
"Next is the time for me to draw up a formal order. All clerks, please be prepared to record it."
…
A war that will affect the entire Gomel Oblast of Belarus, as well as parts of Mogilev and Chernihiv, is spreading rapidly.
The guerrilla movement headquarters headquartered in Moscow is using various means to contact various large-scale guerrilla groups in Belarus. Ponomarenko himself was extremely surprised by the existence of Belekov, that is, Yang Mingzhi.
.He always imagined that the heroes of Belarus would stand up bravely and attack the enemy's rear.
The high-level Soviet officials in Moscow were not satisfied with the guerrilla movement led by Ponomarenko. Even though he always touted the great achievements of the guerrilla republic, that was an exception. Even the commander was a foreigner who suddenly became a Soviet citizen. They
Is the victory due to the guerrilla movement headquarters?
Stalin believed that this was not the case at all. Their actions were basically carried out independently under the leadership of Berekov, with at most a small amount of material support from the Southwest Front Army.
When Ponomarenko launched his campaign to liberate the Ukrainian city of Gorodniya in May, the entire 17th Guerrilla Brigade retreated in just two days. If it were not for the surprise support of the Guerrilla Republic, this force of nearly ten thousand people would have been doomed!
That battle eventually turned into a battle against the 6th Division of the Romanian Army. Because the battle situation was so dramatic and even unbelievable, Stalin, Voroshilov and others were very aware of it.
Ponomarenko urgently needs to show his abilities at a high level. Besides, he is also the first secretary of the Partisan Republic. He needs to exercise the power in his hands both in public and private matters. Now that the German army has launched a military operation codenamed ruhe,
The Soviet army should retaliate in kind.
But after all, he was still too optimistic about the situation, and he was full of confidence in the two huge guerrillas under his command, which had a total strength of more than 20,000 people. The combat force of 20,000 people was now only two infantry divisions. There was actually such a situation in the rear
Huge troops, but other comrades don't care about it.
It's time to use a big battle to prove the powerful influence of the guerrillas in the rear.
Soviet espionage personnel used various means, even honey traps, to basically figure out where the command center of the German Army Group in southern Belarus was located, and where the headquarters of each division sat.
The German Army Group headquarters is currently located in Bobruisk (a year ago, the remnants of the Soviet 284th Division fled from the east of the city to the southern swamps), and Commander Wagner's residence is also there. The city is a large city in Belarus
There are still nearly 100,000 peaceful residents in the city living under the iron heel of the Nazis. It is reported that the reorganized 715th Division was transferred here as a surprise attack to enhance the German anti-guerrilla strength.
The persimmons were about to be softened, so Ponomarenko focused his attack on Svetlogorsk, a city 70 kilometers away from Bobruisk in a straight line and 40 kilometers away from Lechica.
Two large-scale guerrilla brigade quietly crossed the Dnieper River in the early morning of July 9. While marching, they did not forget to raid all the villages occupied by the German army. They raided troops and executed those who served the German army.
Villagers, even if they were forced, encountered small groups of German troops, and the Germans learned that a large number of Soviet troops had suddenly appeared east of Zhlobin.
However, Wagner knew this situation well at the time and could not deal with it well for the time being. Because his thoughts were all on the ruhe operation at the time, he had no choice but to order the Zhilobin defenders to tighten the city defense, and also ordered the 707th Division and the 722nd Division to
The division protects against attacks from the rear.
The 63rd Army of the Soviet Army, Wagner only believed that this "guerrilla" had real combat effectiveness. The other guerrillas were just poor and hungry stragglers, and their combat effectiveness was really bad. Therefore, he believed that the 707th Division and the 722nd Division could defeat these rear forces.
The enemy came to Fan.
Wagner never dreamed of the sudden appearance of the guerrillas. Their goal was not to attack the 707th Division and the 722nd Division to support the 63rd Army in the south. Their final attack target was Svetlogorsk, where
It is the headquarters of the 805th Division.
Right, what kind of commander would order his troops to attack there?
This is Ponomarenko. In order to create a huge impact, the two huge guerrilla brigade "Red October" and "Gypsy" first participated in the war. On their side were the German 734th Division, 707th Division, and 722nd Division's Long Snake Formation.
, itself will have a fierce battle with the 805th Division, and to the south is the German 715th Division. With a guerrilla force of about two divisions, fighting against five German divisions, this is the goal of Pono Marian.
It was even called the "Svetlogorsk Offensive" by him.
