This battle required a large number of troops to contain the German 715th Division and attract their main force to move closer to Homnich. Regarding the troop configuration of this division, the captive Henschel explained it.
After all, this is a security division. Due to the needs of the war, a lot of its heavy weapons were coordinated by the front-line troops. The artillery left for the division is only 20% of the standard state, the soldiers are also light infantry, and the tanks are more
It is one that does not have one. The entire division has fewer trucks and half-track armored vehicles, so its combat effectiveness is destined to be low.
After the harassment battle against Homnich, Yang Mingzhi concluded that the combat effectiveness of this unit was indeed insufficient, so they were not sent to the front line in Moscow, but came from China to take over the tasks of the original 707 Division.
Yang Mingzhi was thinking about the strategy of entering the country at home. Yang Tao knew that there would be another large-scale military operation. When she thought of this, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.
At night, Yang Mingzhi was still burning the midnight oil to fight, with the map spread out on the table and deducing the march route.
Star fruit was poured with hot water and served. "Brother! Drink some, it's cold at night."
"Okay." Yang Mingzhi took a nice sip. This is really a universal drink of hot water, and said casually: "Xiao Tao, there will be a new battle soon, and you have to participate. This time you will be a warrior."
"Ah! You are willing to let me fight. I have always been prepared. Can I fight side by side with Natasha this time?" Star Tao's emotions were immediately aroused.
"Look at how excited you are. Let me tell you first, this operation is very large. Don't think that we can defeat the enemy easily. This battle may be very difficult. You and I will have to be outdoors in the snow.
Sleeping in the open. The battle is likely to be fierce, just like what you and I have experienced, and you have to be mentally prepared."
"Of course!" Yang Tao immediately stood at attention. "Now that I am a member of the Communist Youth League, I have to work harder and act like a young man."
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but want to laugh. He looked at his wife again. This girl's entire life has changed, and she has entered a new era.
"It's good that you have this awareness. Then hurry up and prepare. Think about what materials to prepare for the future battle. You have been very careful and organized your share, as well as mine."
"As you command!"
The girl had a decent experience and immediately started preparations.
Yang Mingzhi was very confident about her. This girl was very thoughtful and there would be no mistakes in packing her luggage. After the operation started, she and Natasha stayed with him, so that the sniper sisters could cooperate in the operation.
Yang Mingzhi did not want the Gomel Underground Municipal Committee to know about this battle. As long as they did not know about it, potential spies would not know about it, and the German army would have no idea that an undercurrent was approaching them. Only in this way could the suddenness of the battle be guaranteed.
News that a new combat operation was about to be launched immediately spread in the military camp. After Yelentina dismissed the lower-level political commissars for a meeting, she confirmed the authenticity of the operation. She ordered: "All of you will immediately inform the soldiers at your headquarters.
Immediately enter the first level of combat readiness and organize the internal affairs in accordance with soldier regulations. Within a few days, we will conduct the largest military operation since entering the swamp."
The tension of the war is spreading, but the soldiers are not afraid at all, and everyone is eager to fight. Some people hope to fight and kill the enemy and make achievements, while others simply hope to get revenge.
The militiamen also have a very high sense of combat. After a series of training, their quality is not much different from that of regular soldiers. The only difference is that many of them have not participated in war.
There are nearly a thousand female soldiers in the army. The so-called women are not inferior to men. After hard training, these women's combat qualities are theoretically as good as those of male soldiers. In daily assault training, cross-country marches, and live ammunition training, they do very well.
Okay. Maybe it's just women's natural physical disadvantages that can cause some people to be mentally weak, but they can still be good soldiers despite these.
Yang Mingzhi spent two days formulating the details of the battle plan, so the battle meeting was held again.
This meeting was held in the Blacksmith Village, in the new division headquarters - a newly built wooden house and a large conference room.
A huge map was hung up, and Yang Mingzhi used a pencil to outline the march route. Participants in the meeting were not only the "four-man group" as the leader of the division, but also the battalion commanders at the battalion level.
and political commissars, as well as three collective farm village chiefs and village committee representatives.
After reading Yang Mingzhi's combat plan, Yevlov and others agreed, so this meeting was mainly about giving direct orders to each unit.
Seeing that the personnel had expired, Yang Mingzhi stood up and looked at the various sitting officers.
"Comrades, everyone is here, so I will explain it directly. In two days, we will start a new round of combat operations. In this battle, we will dispatch eight battalions of combat troops. As you know, our current total strength
There are ten battalions, six regular army battalions and four militia battalions. In this battle, two battalions will stay and the other eight battalions will be dispatched. We are going to have the largest battle!"
Everyone gritted their teeth and waited for the deputy division commander's next order. The battalion commanders of the four militia battalions were very nervous, and 50% of them could not participate in this operation. They were praying silently, hoping that bad luck would not happen to them.
"Now that the mayor and political commissar comrades have approved my battle plan, I, Berekov, in the name of deputy division commander and staff officer, give you orders. One regiment and one battalion commander! One regiment and two battalion commanders!"
"Here!" Rosakov and Krabsky stood up.
"Rosakov, we have not had a regimental commander for a long time. Now you are leading a regiment and a battalion and you have established a regimental commander. You and Krabsky attack the town of Homnich. The commander of the first battalion of the militia, Ninelli!"
"arrive!"
"Your troops are temporarily organized into a regiment! Artillery battery commander Doronin! Tank platoon leader Chekov!"
"Here!" The two people stood up.
When people heard the word tank, they saw the small man standing up. Before anyone could react, Yang Mingzhi spoke.
"In this battle, we must capture Homnich quickly. Doronin, you bring all the large-caliber mortars of our army, including the anti-tank gun. Chekov, you lead all three BTs
Tanks and infantry attack. You all belong to one regiment!"
With such a firepower configuration, the first regiment directly became the unit with the strongest firepower. For a long time, Yevlov has served as the commander of the first regiment, because for several months, combat operations have been carried out in battalion units.
Everyone was talking and the venue was buzzing.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Yevlov ordered in a loud voice, "Now continue to listen to the deputy division commander read out the order."
Yang Mingzhi paused for a moment. He gave the group all the heavy weapons in order to prepare for the extremely intense battle in the future.
"There is no need to explain. Now the commander of the first regiment, Roshakov, you and Krabsky are the main force attacking Homnich. The task I give you is to capture Homnich and eliminate the enemy's effective forces, but this cannot be done
Kill them all, and allow some enemies to flee to report the news. What awaits you will be the enemy's counterattack, and the war will be very brutal, so this is why you have mastered all large-caliber artillery. By the way, I will also equip you with a large number of single-armed artillery pieces.
Soldiers and rockets to increase your firepower. Remember! Homnich will hold out until we receive our orders."
"Yes!" the four officers stood up and shouted in unison.
"Very good, you all should sit down." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and ordered his old subordinates to stand up.
"Lavrenti, Yevgeny, your battalion is following me. We will go straight to the road between Lechica and Gomel, ambush the German convoy, and rescue prisoners of war. Joshua, the commander of the second battalion of the militia, stands up!"
Joshua is a woman, and her battalion is also full of female soldiers. Yang Mingzhi thinks there is nothing wrong with sending a female battalion to participate in the operation. He knows that many male soldiers are very prejudiced against the combat effectiveness of female soldiers. Natasha is a girl, and her record is basically
This is just an example. Do female soldiers also have high combat effectiveness?
As for Joshua herself, she was very surprised and suddenly felt extremely excited.
Yang Mingzhi said slowly: "Joshua, I have heard many people say that as long as a woman can give birth to children, she can clean up her home, plant some potatoes and raise some poultry. I think these remarks are wrong."
"Yes, our battalion is made up of women, and we should do more. We can do most of the things that men can do, and some of the things that men cannot do, only we can do." The implication is nothing more than life.
Baby milk, everyone laughed.
"Don't laugh! We female soldiers have been impatient for a long time. The enemy has killed our husbands and our relatives. Now it is our turn to defend our homeland."
This woman's attitude was very resolute, and Yang Mingzhi believed that what she said was from the bottom of her heart. "Very good, according to the training of your female battalion, your battalion is fully capable of hard battles, so you will follow me in the ambush battle. I hope that by then
I can also think of what you are saying now. The fighting determination and quality of girls are not inferior to those of male soldiers."
In this way, Yang Mingzhi will lead his old subordinates and bring out a female military battalion. He also removed a hundred people from the guard company and merged it with the independent reconnaissance company. The commander is still Balzen.
"Finally, Chernenko and Alexander, please stand."
These two people, Chernenko was an independent guerrilla who was discovered a few months ago. Now his people have expanded to a battalion. The army respected their choice and did not erase their designations from the regular army era. Today, their names are Chernenko.
Zernenko guerrilla brigade.
Alexander, he led the active troops and thousands of Jews to enter the base. In order to show his determination to fight, his troops were replenished. The supplements were basically the original Jews in the army, as well as Jews selected from the refugees who had served in the military.
, this camp was simply called the Jewish camp privately.
"The Chernenko Guerrilla Brigade and the Jewish Battalion serve as reserves. Once the war requires it, you will be ordered to fight immediately!"
Here, there are two battalion commanders who have not received orders. These are the Second Militia Battalion and the Fourth Militia Battalion (female battalion). Yang Mingzhi thought for a moment and changed the subject: "Forget it, there are four battalions of troops left behind. You
We might as well just use them all as war reserves. The scale of my operation this time is huge, so just in case, we all take action."
The details of the war were settled, and all units in the army were assigned missions.
On the other hand, the Blacksmith Village has also begun to reorganize its warehouses. The war requires a large amount of munitions, and Liguschkov urges workers every day to ensure quality and speed up production. Today, each soldier can carry an average of two grenades, and an average of one per shift.
A rocket ejection tube is provided, and the average number of rocket launchers is one per person.
For light infantry, RPGs and grenades should be their standard equipment. In this swamp, Yang Mingzhi imitated the American bazooka and traditional rocket fuses to create a rocket launcher, which Liguschkov passed through
After being improved over and over again, it can now be used as an anti-infantry weapon integrating offense and defense. At least its power has reached the level of a fragmentation grenade.
But these were not enough. After the meeting, Yang Mingzhi suddenly remembered that Podovich also had to prepare for war. This war was of a large scale, and he could try to use Liguschkov's heavy weapon-large-yield rockets.
Therefore, Podovich was also ordered to be ready to take off at any time. He would carry two powerful rockets into the attack on Homnich. Two rockets filled with picric acid exploded as part of the artillery preparations, and the town
The tough battle must be fought! (To be continued.) 8
