The battle plan has been finalized. When the war is approaching, Yang Mingzhi will not think too much.{[( ([Since the Internet war is coming, he will deal with it calmly. He will still participate in this battle personally. Unlike Yelentina and Yevlov
, they want to guard the base camp.
But there are variables in every war. In this battle, Yang Mingzhi believed that he had an 80% victory rate. As for the remaining 20%, it was because the Germans gave in and did not reinforce Homnich. In this way, the troops ambushed on the road are likely to be attacked by heavy enemy troops.
, this will turn into a fierce battle.
In order to survive the worst-case scenario, the troops must have a plan B. That is, once the ambush force is attacked, the Soviet troops who captured Homnich will immediately abandon the town and carry out reinforcements.
In this case, it is best for the two people as division commander and political commissar to stay at the base camp, monitor the progress of the troops from the radio, and then update the positions of each troops on the map in real time.
In this battle, the underground municipal committee of Gomel was not notified of the actions of the 284th Division, but it still received electrical signals from there, and the reply information was irrelevant.
The day after the meeting, a group of scouts went out early with radios on their backs. They were the eyes and ears of the offensive force. They had to penetrate the front line of the highway to ambush. In addition to monitoring the transportation situation on the highway, they also monitored whether there were enemies.
Yang Mingzhi was very reassured about their work, because Balzen was leading the team. His people were more like special forces. They had repeatedly made military exploits as scouts, and the outcome of the battle depended largely on their surveillance.
On this day, Yang Mingzhi stayed in Catfish Village. This was the last bit of free time before the battle began.
The two girls, Star Tao and Natasha, were with him. At noon, everyone gathered together to have another meal of noodles with meat and vegetables. This was considered a practice feast before setting off for the expedition.
Natasha, her brother, and sister were going to war, and the younger brother had to marry the aunt in the village to take care of him.
Yang Mingzhi paid attention to the girl's eyes. She was watching her brother eat, and there was even a hint of motherly love in her eyes.
Yang Mingzhi coughed and said, "Natasha!"
"Alas!" The girl came back to her senses.
"In this battle, you will fight side by side with Besica again. You are the shooter and she is the observer. You will also be directly commanded by me. When an ambush occurs, I will order you to attack wherever you go. Do you understand?
"
"Understood!" Natasha assured firmly. But Carambola just hummed.
"Very good. You are comrades-in-arms and sisters. I hope you will perform well in the battle."
While several people were eating, a young man came running over. It was cold and he was still panting. The cotton hat was held in his hands, and the young man's brown hair was blowing in the wind.
"Ah? Kharkov, you don't eat in the cafeteria, why are you here with me?"
Yang Mingzhi looked at this young man in surprise. Kharkov, he came to him personally. Needless to say, it must be related to sending troops to fight. Yang Mingzhi winked at Yang Tao, and Yang Tao quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.
Kharkiv slowly raised his body and asked bluntly: "Deputy division commander, why can't our youth battalion carry out this mission? We are neither a front-line force nor a reserve force. You said that this battle has been fought since entering the swamp.
This is the largest battle the army will undertake. Why should I and my men be excluded? Is the deputy division commander still worried that we will not obey the command?"
Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead, "Oh! I forgot about you!"
"We train seriously every day. We receive the same training methods as adults, including dangerous cross-country with live ammunition. Everyone is gearing up for this operation when they learn about it. Why are there no arrangements for us? Is it really as the deputy division commander said?
, just forgot?"
Yang Mingzhi looked at this young man. His anxious state of mind was written on his face, his brows were furrowed and he spoke very hastily.
"Commander of the Youth Battalion, Kharkiv. Stand at attention!" Yang Mingzhi ordered suddenly, and the boy stood up like a pine tree.
"Kharkov, this is indeed the case. I made the battle plan, and I did forget about your troops. In fact, in my heart, I see your daily training. In theory, you can fight with the adults.
,only……"
"Just what?" Kharkiv asked urgently.
"Some of you are too young, only fourteen years old, or even thirteen years old. Don't think I don't know. Such age cannot withstand the postgraduate entrance examination in harsh war environment, because war is not a daily training
.”
"But Natasha, she is only fifteen years old, and she has already become a hero of the army."
Kharkov did not want Yang Mingzhi to let age matter. Since Natasha can become a fighting hero, so can other people of the same age.
At this moment, Natasha was a little confused. She could only pretend to be a bit arrogant and experienced many battles. "Kharkov, I think I am a special case. Not all sisters can be like me. I kill people."
I was very cold-blooded when I saw him, and I am no longer afraid when I see bloody corpses. No matter how fierce the artillery fire is, and bullets are flying everywhere, I am not afraid. So on this issue, I support the deputy division commander’s intention.”
"Don't be shy, I'm not a coward either. Just talk about the Battle of Kuta Town, I also crossed the line of fire, and I personally participated in the attack on the German headquarters."
"You are a man!" Natasha raised her voice, "You don't understand us women at all. Even if they become female soldiers, many girls will have instinctive fear when they see corpses and blood. Some people will never be able to
Adapt. And the younger the child, the stronger the reaction."
"But……"
"That's enough!" Yang Mingzhi slapped the table. "You two, don't argue about this matter. Kharkov, I thought about it and your troops can participate in this operation!"
"That's right! It's really great." Kharkiv's complexion suddenly improved, and he was so happy that he almost sang and danced.
Yang Mingzhi was amused by the man's instantaneous change of mood. "Kharkov, stand at attention!" Yang Mingzhi ordered: "The total strength of the youth battalion is only more than a hundred people. It is said that a battalion is actually only a company.
, and some of the soldiers are too young. I now agree with the youth battalion to go to the battlefield, but a line must be drawn, and no one under the age of fifteen is allowed to participate."
"Is this arrangement really good?" Kharkiv's face looked a little ugly again. "All of us hope to participate in the war."
"What an order! It's better for young children to wait another year. Now don't have any more questions and go back and prepare immediately. I will check it in the afternoon, and then you and your people will be under my direct command
.”
Kharkiv was quite satisfied with this result. He was given permission to go to war. He immediately saluted the military salute and turned back to report the good news to his comrades.
Looking at his steady back, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but feel happy.
"Brother, what do you enjoy?" Yang Tao asked.
"Am I happy? I am happy with you young people. You children are at an age where passion is burning. This is a war to protect your country and defend justice. If you want to be a witness to history, it is best to make contributions. So,
The danger has been forgotten, and the fighting enthusiasm is actually stronger than that of the veterans, but the physical fitness and technical tactics are lacking a lot." Speaking of this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think of many things.
This war caused heavy losses to the Soviet Union's population, so much so that the four-year war caused brutal structural damage to the Soviet Union's population, which took at least a hundred years to repair.
There were 190 million people in the Soviet Union, of which 20 million men died from youth to childhood. In this era, being a Soviet soldier was probably the most cruel, because basically not many people could survive from the beginning of the war to the end of the war. In this regard, Yang Mingzhi said
With his current status, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the afternoon, Yang Mingzhi went to the youth camp. Those children were indeed eager to fight. They were in adolescence and eager to prove themselves. Even if the times are different, adolescent children are all the same, eager to be heroes and eager to defend their hearts.
The justice recognized in the war, and the fear of death will only be aroused if the comrades are blown into a pile of minced meat.
"Yes, you all have some adult temperament, so I believe you can withstand the test of extreme environments."
Yang Mingzhi inspected these people and found that they were at least fifteen years old and could participate in this battle. Immediately, he issued a direct order: "All of you immediately start rectifying the housework. Remember to prepare warm clothes and food. We will set out tomorrow."
