More than a hundred people walked out of the forest. They were dressed in various costumes, and some of them were armed.
Yang Mingzhi became more energetic. He stepped forward and looked at the group of people up and down. But he forgot that his oriental face looked very awkward among a group of Eastern European old men.
But before he could speak, the leader had already spoken. "You are the 284th Guards Infantry Division? We don't know this unit. Aren't your regular troops at war with the Germans? Why do the Germans still enter the forest?"
This Balabala talked a lot, and he seemed to have great grievances. After talking for a long time, he finally asked: "Did we win or lose this war?"
Yang Mingzhi answered truthfully: "We have failed in this battle. If the large army does not retreat into the forest, hundreds of thousands of people will be wiped out."
These people were very excited after hearing this. "Are you pigs? Did the Germans defeat you so easily?"
"Hey! What are you talking about?" A soldier couldn't listen.
Yang Mingzhi pulled him: "Soldier, we have indeed failed in the battle. Our division has lost tens of thousands of people. It is also right for the people to complain." After that, Yang Mingzhi stood at attention and saluted: "Hello. I am Peter Ivanovi.
Chi. Belekov. My appearance may surprise you, but I am indeed a Red Army soldier."
The man nodded: "Okay, I believe it. We escaped from the village of Rosaskaya because the Germans invaded. We lost many people, and in the forest we met people who fled into the forest from Minsk.
people."
Rosaskaya, which originally means small forest village, is a relatively large collective farm. There are more than 400 residents. Many young people were recruited to defend Minsk, and the rest were old and weak. According to this person
On the accusation, the Germans massacred many people, and in the end only about fifty people managed to escape.
The person who was talking to Yang Mingzhi was the village chief. He had a beard and had fled with only his two young sons. All his family members were killed, so he was filled with hatred for the Germans.
There are quite a lot of women among these people. The shelf life of Lao Maozi's women is relatively short. A group of aunts ran around in the forest for a while, which was really difficult for them.
These people all walked out of the forest under the escort of soldiers. After some counting, there were more than 150 people.
Yevlov once asked about their origins, and it turned out that in addition to the fleeing villagers, there were also some doctors and nurses who had escaped from some hospitals in Minsk.
There was actually a doctor, and Yevlov immediately asked if there was any medicine.
"Yes! We have more medicines. Originally we were..."
"Stop first. Do you have any anti-inflammatory drugs or penicillin? My wounded soldiers are in urgent need of treatment."
"have!"
Doctors and nurses were immediately led to the "field hospital", and they immediately began treatment. Carambola was overjoyed that the most worrying drug problem was solved. "Thank God, without your help, the situation of the wounded soldiers would have been even worse.
"
The doctor had no more words, and immediately took a glass syringe and injected penicillin into the wounded soldier. They also brought a large amount of gauze and disinfectant, and clean and hygienic dressings replaced simple linen.
These people arrived to replenish some troops, and they brought a large amount of medicines, which solved the worries of many soldiers.
The village chief Raslyutin decided to join the Soviet army, and his people fully agreed with this correct decision. And those doctors and nurses from the Minsk Third Hospital can serve as military doctors. Many of the nurses here are still little girls, and they are no longer
There is no choice. Although there is a saying that "war makes women go away", this war is no small matter. Women are the most vulnerable children in the war, and they must take up arms.
The division headquarters was located in a farmhouse, and Yevlov immediately appointed the village chief Raslyutin as the militia captain. "We have some citizens from Minsk who came to help us fight in our team, but unfortunately most of them have died in the battle. Now the militiamen
The troops and you are already close to a company. You will be the commander of the militia company and serve as an auxiliary to our regular army."
Lars Lyugin took the order, and as for the political commissar, it would be more appropriate for Yelentina to be the one. But this girl thinks very highly of herself, and she is a Cheka after all. Since the division political commissar has died gloriously, she doesn't mind being a temporary one, so what can I do?
It would be better to hire someone else to be the political commissar of the militia.
During the war, political commissars at all levels of the 284th Guards Division suffered heavy losses, including Yang Mingzhi's political commissar named Korchagin. Because that man had the same surname as the protagonist of "How the Steel Was Tempered", he worked harder at the critical moment of the battle.
The result was a glorious death.
After Yevlov and Yang Mingzhi calculated it, it was better for the Cheka girl to stay in the rear. "You are responsible for maintaining the morale of the troops. If you establish enough prestige, the soldiers will naturally elect you to be the temporary division political commissar."
"
Yelentina walked away a little angry.
"This girl is quite lusty for power." Yang Mingzhi joked.
"That's natural. Their Cheka has always been a bit domineering. However, regarding war matters, the Supreme Leader has clearly stipulated that political commissars are not allowed to interfere with combat command."
Yang Mingzhi nodded. In the past, the Soviet political commissars often interfered in the war. As a result, the lay leaders did many things that experts did. Without further ado, Yevlov called the village chief over and asked about the affairs of Rosaskaya Village.
The village chief said worriedly: "Actually, the enemy arrived yesterday morning. There were about 200 people. They also drove trucks and set up machine guns. Many people were killed before they had time to escape. We made some resistance and escaped.
Into the forest."
Yang Mingzhi held his chin, more than two hundred people constituted half a camp.
Since there was no map, the village chief used stones on the table to roughly indicate the current location and the location of the village.
"The distance between the two is fifteen miles. We can get there along the dirt road in the forest."
Fifteen versts is about sixteen kilometers. The village chief mentioned the distance along a small road. As for the straight-line distance, it should be closer.
Yang Mingzhi guessed: "The Germans were clearly searching all the villages along the forest roads. They must have received orders to massacre all the villages they found indiscriminately. They massacred this place on July 5, and the next day
Massacred Rosaskaya."
"So they will still go for massacres along the road?" Yevlov asked.
"Definitely!"
But the village chief immediately raised objections. "Our Rosaskaya is inside the mountain col. They have already reached the end. If they want to continue to cause damage along the road, they must retreat. The specific road bifurcation point is not here."
Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov were shocked. The enemy would definitely withdraw from the mountain col. After all, they had trucks and they would have to take the forest road.
"Berekov! The enemy is right in front of us, and we have the superior strength. Why not destroy them all at once?"
"Okay, the executioner in front of us must die. But the enemy must still have troops in the forest, and our military operations may expose ourselves." Yang Mingzhi hoped to have a foolproof strategy, but he couldn't think of any.
"It's better to listen to me. Let's move along the hills on both sides of the dirt road. We will try to arrive at night. If possible, we will collectively bayonet and kill all the enemies." Yevlov said.
Yang Mingzhi nodded, "Okay, I'll kill them first, and then we'll talk about the rest."
A new combat mission was issued and all soldiers gathered urgently.
Many soldiers found it very easy for 3,000 people to wipe out a team of 200 people. The troops gathered the remaining mortars and organized an artillery company. The company commander swore that all the enemies would be finished with one shelling.
Yevlov put an end to the soldiers' speculation. "Comrades, our military operation is led by villagers. The enemy may have penetrated into the forest. We must try to avoid shooting. We will set off immediately after lunch. We are going to
Use bayonets, daggers or even engineer shovels to kill the enemy, and try to avoid making noise to reveal your position."
In this way, the soldiers began to prepare separately. On the other hand, Yang Tao was still taking care of the wounded with the new doctors and nurses.
They came from the city of Minsk. Doctor Spielowski chose to retreat with the Soviet Western Front. However, he got lost during the retreat and was eventually forced to retreat into the forest, intending to find a way out with the nurses.
Yelentina regretfully pointed out that not only Minsk failed, but Babruisk failed earlier. It would be difficult for three thousand people to break out of the forest unless the main force of the Soviet army in the encirclement also withdrew into the forest.
"Just follow my husband. Our deputy division commander Berekov guided us to retreat into the forest, otherwise the last three thousand people will all die in the battle." Yang Tao proudly talked about Yang Mingzhi, which Yelianjing
Na couldn't deny that the Chinese and the troops he belonged to indeed demonstrated extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Now Yang Mingzhi simply walked in front of many doctors and nurses in person.
"Oh, husband, you are here."
Yang Mingzhi looked at his wife's smiling face. She must be in a good mood. This girl has been looking sad for a few days because of the lack of medical treatment.
He said immediately without any more pleasantries: "A new battle is about to begin. A group of Germans has fallen into a mountain valley after massacring the village. Our current position blocks their retreat. Now the large force is going to destroy them."
After Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov exchanged views, they revised the battle plan. The military operation will be led by Yang Mingzhi, and the most elite 1,000 people will be selected from the 3,000-strong army. Among them, the special anti-tank battalion will be the core, and several more will be selected.
One hundred of the strongest soldiers.
This trip will also bring a mortar company. If someone fires a gun during a silent assassination, then the mistake will be made. The troops will use full firepower and strive to quickly eliminate the enemy.
So the wounded and the bulk of the troops stayed here.
"Besika (Star Fruit), you, the doctor and the troops retreat to the hills, using the woods as cover. If the enemy flees along the road, an ambush circle will be established here. Or our actions may disturb other German troops.
, you can still ambush and attack German reinforcements here.”
Carambola understood that non-combatants must retreat. "Okay, husband. You go and fight. I know you will win."
