One hundred and ninetieth chapters go hand in hand
Yevlov didn't know much about military affairs. He asked slowly: "The enemy will counterattack, which is what you hope. If it were you, I would consider it carefully. After all, the German army will move in full force."
"Who said the German army would mobilize in full force? If they do so, it only shows that their commander, Schultz, is a fool. Their core purpose is to guard the safety of the highway, and this responsibility determines that they cannot all rebel."
Yang Mingzhi explained, "My division commander, our military operation this time is not as simple as identifying the attack target, setting off the army to fight, taking away the spoils and returning in triumph."
"So? What are you going to do? Look, everyone is waiting!"
Yang Mingzhi took a quick look and saw that Yelentina and Fuming were all listening and waiting for their speech. The special correspondent was also looking forward to it.
"Well, I think Comrade Commissioner should recuse himself for a moment. In order to ensure confidentiality, my decision-making is currently only known to a few people who should know."
Having said that, there is really no need for Fedorov to stay in someone else's division. "In this case, if there is nothing else, I will avoid it for the time being."
"Okay, you can leave first and go to the dormitory to have a rest. We don't have much alcohol here, but we do have plenty of hot milk."
The special correspondent turned around and left. Yelentina looked at his back, turned her head, and lay on the table listlessly, asking: "Berekov, do you not quite believe him?"
"No, no, no, even though he is an outsider, since you have recognized his identity after interrogation, how can I not believe it. But..." Yang Mingzhi changed the subject, "My tactical decision-making is a bit complicated. The plan is a big one."
Action, comrade the special commissioner is naturally loyal to the Soviet cause and the leader. I am just worried that he will immediately report the good news to Gomel after getting the information. I do not doubt that most of our comrades are good, but the situation of the struggle between us and the enemy over there is more complicated.
It's complicated, there are spies and traitors, we have to be careful."
"That's it." Yelentina immediately sat up straight, "Really, what you said made me even more curious. What is your plan? It's really complicated."
"Yes, it's very complicated, so much so that we have to divide our troops." Yang Mingzhi talked eloquently. He ordered the guards to close the door, and all duties in the house were avoided. Even the radio operators were sent away, and the radio station was shut down.
Yang Mingzhi led everyone to stand under the map.
"Look, here we have three large villages headed by Catfish Village and our military camp. To the northeast is the small town of Homnich, and continuing to the northeast are Lechica and Gomel. In this battle, our core
The purpose is to set up an ambush on the only road between Lechica and Gomel. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle, we must find a way to contain the German 715th Division, otherwise their more than 10,000 people will be a fatal threat to us."
"You are right to think so. We carried out an ambush operation, and our identity was exposed after we succeeded. The total force we can mobilize will be expanded to 6,000 people, and 30% of them will be militiamen who have never been on the battlefield. Besides, it is impossible for us to mobilize all the troops.
Soldiers are sent to the front line," Yevlov analyzed.
"Yes, so we must also ensure that the German army cannot send out the entire strength of a division to deal with us. On the one hand, Schulz's division must protect the road, on the other hand, it must fight us at Homnich, and finally send out the remaining troops.
The troops counterattacked our ambush troops. This is why we must capture Homnich. My idea is not to liberate her as some of you have guessed. Homnich is a bait. I hope to capture her.
All the attention of the German army was attracted."
Yang Mingzhi's words at least made Yelentina understand. "I almost understand. We are going to fight after all. You and I definitely don't want the enemy to counterattack after an ambush. In this way, if we save thousands of prisoners, we can retreat.
The road must be slow, it's too easy to stop."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "My political commissar is right. In fact, this tactic has been used in ancient China. The term distance is called sounding to the east and attacking to the west." He said that this term was in Chinese, and immediately explained: "The meaning of this term is
On the surface, we threatened to attack the east, but in reality we were attacking the west. We sent troops to capture Homnage, creating the illusion that this was the main force of our army. In fact, this was a feint attack force, and our main force had already moved to the northeast side of the road.
.
Once the war breaks out, the German army will counterattack Homnich. Schulz has always dreamed of clearing out the guerrillas, so she won't let go of this perfect opportunity. This will reduce our pressure a lot, and we won't have to worry about ambush on the road.
After all, the latter is the core purpose of our battle - to save prisoners of war and become a new force."
"What a good tactic!" Yevlov applauded subconsciously, and Fumin also clapped his hands in agreement.
But Yelentina still maintained a trace of calmness. She looked up at the map and was conducting a sand table deduction in her mind. She suddenly asked a very critical topic. "According to Belekov's decision, we succeeded in the ambush.
There are many German convoys there. Even if we can't rescue the prisoners of war, we can still grab a lot of supplies and then make a tactical retreat and go straight to our station. So what about our defenders in Homnich? What should they do? Since this is reality
A feint attack must have few troops! How can they retreat in the face of an enemy that may be several times their size?"
This is another strategy of Yang Mingzhi - to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. The vocabulary is still in Chinese, Yang Mingzhi said: "Let's give an example. Suppose in ancient times, the Grand Duke of Smolensk attacked the Grand Duke of Ryazan, and the Grand Duke of Ryazan was defeated.
The Grand Duke of Moscow asked for assistance. The general concept is that the Grand Duke of Moscow wanted to send a large army to form a coalition with Ryazan. As a result, the Grand Duke of Moscow directly sent troops into Smolensk and surrounded the city. In this way, the army attacking Ryazan had to retreat." Change the place name.
It became a place name in Russia, and the other three people immediately understood it.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "I thought that Homnich would definitely be attacked by that time, so I thought we could bring the tanks. Firstly, it would increase the firepower, and secondly, it would give the illusion of a main force. When the battle gets fierce,
We are in full swing, and our ambush is successful again. If they don't withdraw their troops to defend the road, then we will take another action and seize another German transport convoy, or directly rush into the enemy's empty barracks and destroy it all the way, so that we don't have to worry about the enemy not withdrawing their troops.
.”
"That's it! I understand everything." Yelentina no longer questioned, she was in awe of this man again. "Berekov, I think you are a born conductor. At present, commanding a division is too incompetent.
Now, you have to make great achievements in the future."
"I hope so." Yang Mingzhi didn't know what the future holds for him. In the depths of World War II, the chance of dying as a commander of the Soviet Union was very high. As long as he didn't die, even foreigners could continue to be promoted, and he might be able to command a front army in the future.
.
Yevlov coughed twice, and everyone's laughter immediately stopped. He asked: "Everyone supports this decision, and we have to start preparations quickly. So how many troops have you decided to send out this time?"
"There must be at least four thousand people, or more." Since it is a large-scale operation, the number of troops cannot be small. "In this battle, we have to advance in two directions. Attack Homnich along the way, and garrison the road along the way. We also have
A strategic reserve team must be organized to respond to unexpected troubles at any time.”
"Okay, you are also responsible for the distribution of troops. We will hold a meeting to discuss it in the end." Yevlov emphasized again, "Berekov, our soldiers are eager to try and fight and make meritorious deeds. I hope you can satisfy everyone's wishes.
The meeting is now dismissed! (To be continued.) u
