Yang Mingzhi knew that the German army was very unclear about the environment of the vast swamp in the Pripet River Basin. (The war was about to start four months later. A series of military operations by the German army achieved fruitful results. As a result, they never regarded this swamp as a
Attack target.
The Soviet Union was very large. The total strength of the German army was at most five million. They were scattered on a huge front of a thousand kilometers. In order to maintain a "powerful fist", they had to focus their attacks. They occupied cities large and small, and for rural areas
, many times I don’t care.
Although a large area of the Soviet Union had fallen, the German army had not fully explored it. Such a large number of Soviet stragglers and peaceful residents who chose to resist had room to move and launch counterattacks deep in the dense forests.
Therefore, the enemy has not attacked the current camp of the 284th Division. In fact, they should not know that such troops exist in the mud of the swamp. So how to explain the previous attacks? Maybe the German army is a mess, or
Or don't even have time to care.
Early in the morning, Yang Mingzhi got up. Because time was limited, he had to finalize a military plan with Yevlov.
Since Carambola was ordered not to participate in the battle, the girl simply slept in. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned.
"Just continue to rest. Don't tire yourself these days and stay in the military camp honestly." Yang Mingzhi stood up and said to his wife.
"Okay. It's useless what I say. Since you said that I have been weak these past few days, then I am weak. I will continue to lie down and satisfy you."
The girl's words were a bit angry. Yang Mingzhi shrugged, took the map and documents and left.
At this time, all combatants in the army are actively preparing for war.
The soldiers' bullets are kept in the arsenal during non-combat moments, and they hold the firearms themselves. The firearms must be maintained regularly, so when a new battle approaches, the soldiers dismantle the firearms into large and small parts. Many people do a very good job.
Carefully, I started wiping the gun very early in the morning.
Among them, the barrel is the most critical. Many people pull out the rifle's purge and poke a small piece of linen in and out of the barrel, trying to clean the dust in the rifling.
Yang Mingzhi did not disturb their work, and everyone's active preparation for the battle proved their determination to fight. With such cautious subordinates who dare to fight, all that is left is for the commander to use his wisdom and lead everyone to victory. Suddenly, a huge sense of mission and responsibility came to my heart, and pressure
Press on the shoulders.
Yang Mingzhi trotted all the way to the division headquarters. At this moment, those few people were still eating in the cafeteria. After a while, Yevlov returned with a piece of bread in his mouth.
"You came late and made me wait for a long time." Yang Mingzhi put on a serious expression.
Yevlov was not so serious. He took off the bread and chewed it for a while before sitting on the chair and asked: "It seems that you attach great importance to this operation, so you didn't eat breakfast."
"I have eaten. There is still a little bread left from yesterday's supper, and I have finished it all this morning. So now you are here, where are the two people?"
"You mean Yelentina and Fomin? You came too early, they will arrive later." Yevlov said.
"Maybe I'm really too anxious?" Yang Mingzhi spread out the document and handed it to Yevlov to take a look.
The action plan was written in pencil on this piece of brown paper. Yevlov glanced at it and saw the shocking keywords in it. His hands trembled. "It's crazy. I remember that the order we received was to destroy Chernobyl City.
railway station. You plan to blow up that bridge first. Is this feasible?"
"Why not?" Yang Mingzhi said with a smile, his smile full of confidence.
"That's crazy. That's a bridge that can pass trains. Don't you understand?"
"I understand!" Yang Mingzhi affirmed, "so blowing it up is of great significance."
Yevlov fell silent. He hoped that Berekov would explain the situation and wait until the two political commissars arrived before listening to him carefully.
As a result, Yelentina and Fuming arrived belatedly. The reason why they came so late was because they were inspecting the equipment of the troops last night. In modern times, all countries have understood the principle of moving forward before troops and horses have food and supplies.
It can determine the outcome of the battle. No matter what the military operation is, every soldier must be ensured to eat, drink, breathe, and sleep while marching and fighting.
They also brought a bunch of statistical data and wanted to inform Yang Mingzhi, but the time now belonged to Yang Mingzhi. The three of them listened attentively and waited for the only staff officer to explain his battle plan.
Seeing that the time was right, Yang Mingzhi unfolded the map in front of everyone. In order to be concise and concise, he also used a pencil to outline the planned goals while explaining.
"I think we don't need to send out a large force to attack this time. We must assemble an elite force and make two attack plans. First, attack the Chernobyl Railway Station and destroy the locomotive as much as possible. Second, blow up everything.
Nobby Railway Bridge.”
Yang Mingzhi planned to dispatch two battalions of troops for this battle, and the other troops would serve as strategic reserves. As for blowing up the bridge, this must be completed by "special forces".
Yevlov was very curious about how to blow up the bridge. "If we attack the Chernobyl train station, we can basically complete it by sending out a large army to attack. After all, our strength is as high as 5,000, which must be a relative advantage. Why do we only need to
Two battalions. And to destroy the bridge, is it to send a small team?" His question was also a question of the two political commissars, and everyone hoped to get a good explanation.
Yang Mingzhi could understand their concerns and explained: "The division commander has two huge doubts. First, why the main attack involves two battalions of troops. Second, how do we blow up the railway bridge.
Because the enemy has no idea whether we have people here, how many people there are, and how many soldiers there are. Do we want to show the Germans that there are two integrated infantry regiments here? No! We cannot expose our strength like this. Chernobyl
We are very close to the swamp. If we move in full force, they will quickly detect us and take bloody revenge, which is very detrimental to us. However, if we show only a few hundred people, then the enemy will definitely think that we are
A group of guys who are very patriotic, so patriotic that they are so patriotic that they even hit stones with eggs, are not that attentive to the encirclement and suppression campaign."
The three of them couldn't help but nodded. What this person said was very reasonable.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "We don't need a large number of troops to storm Chernobyl Railway Station. The terrain there is forest in the west and the Dnieper River in the east. Our troops cannot spread out, and the same goes for the enemy. They cannot have a large number of troops.
The troops were on defense because they were very close to Kiev.
This leads to the fact that when we choose to fight, we must attack quickly and retreat quickly. Don't think that the two battalions have few troops and the enemy's defenders are not many. Our goal is to blow up the rails and destroy the locomotive. If they have fuel in stock
, we will burn it with fire. Now that the enemy is under attack, his troops must come out from Kiev. Our small number of troops can enable us to retreat quickly."
"Then what if the enemy catches up?" Yevlov asked.
"What's the point? Run! Escape into the forest. Who do you think is better at fighting in the forest than us?" Yang Mingzhi asked, and everyone was happy. Yes, the 284th Division is best at fighting in the forest. Soldiers
Each of them is focused on training light infantry raids. Each one can carry heavy baggage for long distances. Many of them look thin, but most of their muscles are endurance-type. Their strong mobility is far away from the German army.
"What about the second question? How do you explain it?" Yelentina asked.
Obviously, the first question has been explained clearly. Yang Mingzhi smiled and started to explain the next one.
Regarding how to blow up the railway bridge, naturally it was a sneak attack by a small team. Select some elite soldiers and use the wooden boats in Catfish Village to sail in the dark. They acted together with the large force, arrived at the bridge pier at night, and detonated the security explosives. After that, the large force began
action.
Yang Mingzhi's tactic is still night attack. This tactic has been tried repeatedly by the troops, and it has succeeded every time, and every time it is the beginning of the war, it has dealt a major blow to the German army. If it is an elite German army, it can calm down quickly and counterattack.
And their logistics troops, these second- and third-rate guys, don't have high combat effectiveness.
This gives the troops huge possibilities, because wars are often about who makes fewer mistakes. The third-rate German army did not do well in many aspects, especially the German army responsible for public security. Their performance throughout the war was poor, and they bullied the people in the occupied areas like tigers.
.
Chernobyl's enemies must have never experienced night raids. The 284th Division has the suddenness of the battle. Therefore, it is impossible for them to set up defenses in the Dnieper River. The soldiers only need to drive boats to go there and plant explosions.
The device can run smoothly.
This sounds very reliable. Yevlov asked: "Our soldiers have planted explosives, but how can you be sure that our explosives can blow up the bridge piers? You must know that it is concrete! Only large doses can be destroyed."
Only those with great power can be blown up! I remember you told me at the construction site in Montenegro that the machine gun fortress was built with reinforced concrete, and the enemy had to use heavy artillery level fire for bombing, or aerial bombs from dive bombers. Do we have powerful explosives here?
"
"Why not?" Yang Mingzhi said, "Liguschkov studied weapons of mass destruction without authorization. He made two large rockets. This can actually be installed on Podovich's aircraft. We can even carry out
Air strikes. Of course, rockets are not the focus of the discussion. I said that the explosives are inside the rockets, but they are all picric acid!"
Yang Mingzhi has great confidence in picric acid. Although this kind of explosive is relatively backward, its lead expansion value is higher than that of *** and is more powerful. How much is produced in Blacksmith Village now? According to Liguschkov,
Each rocket warhead is filled with five kilograms of dry picric acid. If they are taken out and used as explosives, they can blow up a pier of the railway bridge, which is enough.
Yang Mingzhi knew about the bridge in Chernoby. Although he had not been there personally, he only knew that it was a very ordinary railway bridge with more piers. This kind of bridge still requires a lot of explosives. Ten kilograms of picric acid may
Still a little less.
Yevlov fully understood what he meant. Two battalions of troops would be selected for this battle, and soldiers were selected from each battalion. In the afternoon, Yevlov and others began to implement Yang Mingzhi's battle plan and select elite soldiers.
.
Yang Mingzhi also had to contact the Blacksmith Village. In addition to requesting a large number of grenades and rockets, there was also a large demand for explosives. "All the picric acid, I want all the picric acid. Make them all into explosive devices, and I want electricity."
Ignition fuse."
Liguschkov immediately followed the instructions. When he learned that the deputy division commander planned to blow up the bridge, he quickly took action. (To be continued.) 8
