The commendation meeting ended, and the long-lost joy spread across all the collective farms. The people were not as wary of danger as the soldiers were. Everyone just hoped that their lives would be peaceful, and they believed that the soldiers could protect this rare peace.
Now, the people realize that the Soviet Union is not alone in this war. In the future, the Soviet Union will no longer fight against the Nazis and their slave countries as a single country. Life is a little more difficult now. How difficult can it be as difficult as the Tsarist Russia? At least
There were still enough potatoes to satisfy our hunger. Life was very difficult, but in the end there was no famine, which was enough.
Different from the festive atmosphere in the residential areas, in the military camp, Yelentina asked them through various lower-level political commissars to restrain the troops and remain vigilant at all times.
Here, Yang Mingzhi is also very worried that the enemy will counterattack. After all, they have suffered a lot this time. Putting aside the losses of personnel and materials, the most terrifying thing for the German army is that their Nazi party representative in Lechica was killed! This
It is a political event of the Vietnam military operation.
Therefore, the troops must take precautions. On the second day of the commendation meeting, new orders came.
After discussing with Yevlov, Yang Mingzhi decided to strengthen defense.
"All soldiers will build defensive positions in various defense areas according to the plan. Soldiers will enter the forest to cut trees and build new defensive positions. Some people will carry out new road construction plans..."
This is only a preliminary plan. Yang Mingzhi hopes that the three collective farms can quickly establish a basic defense system before the German army has an obvious retaliation plan.
During the Moscow Defense War, 800,000 citizens, mainly women, carried shovels into the suburbs. They dug anti-tank trenches, dug trenches, and laid barbed wire. This is why Moscow was able to quickly establish a defense line. During the war, the citizens' achievements were outstanding.
.
In the swamp, there is no need to dispatch so many people yet, it is enough for the soldiers to establish an offensive.
The most important thing at present is to establish a good road system so that the troops can fight quickly.
Because it was time to defend, two people were very important to Yang Mingzhi, namely Roshakov and Kravsky. These two men led the remaining troops to break out from the battlefield in Ukraine and fled into the swamp.
They were not deserters. At first, they still felt guilty for not fighting to the end. Now the two of them have used a series of practical actions to prove that breaking out was the most correct decision.
"Rosakov, this guy is really good at positional warfare." Yang Mingzhi teased Yevlov at the division headquarters.
"Of course. Compared with the guerrilla war you advocate, our troops can survive, but they are basically veterans who are proficient in positional warfare. Our 284th Division is already the elite of the elite who are proficient in both methods of combat."
The division commander's summary is very correct. Yang Mingzhi himself would like to hear Roshakov personally report to him the details of the defense battle at Homnich. After all, details often determine success or failure, so let's just leave this private meeting.
At his own home, Yang Mingzhi invited him to a dinner.
Since he wanted to entertain his subordinates, Yang Mingzhi decided to cook it himself.
Lao Maozi's meals were always too simple. This time he and his wife simply rolled out the noodles and made some beef sauce (actually, they mashed German canned beef into a paste). This meal was fried noodles with soybean paste.
This was not the first time that Roshakov had tasted the deputy commander's cooking. The couple were both very good cooks. It was a great honor to be entertained by the commander in person, so Roshakov did his part.
Discussing things while eating is a favorite thing for Chinese people. Rosakov felt a little inappropriate, because the officer asked very military questions, so they started chatting like this, which seemed too casual.
Yang Mingzhi put on a smile: "Comrade, what I want to know is the specific defense of Homnich that you arranged. You served as the temporary regiment commander and resisted the attack of two enemy infantry regiments. You also withstood the enemy's attack."
Heavy artillery bombardment. These valuable experiences are very important for the future defense of our swamps."
"Really? Our blocking battle was actually very difficult."
Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and said to his wife: "Xiao Tao, go to Natasha's house now. Her training should be over. You two sisters can have a chat."
Yang Tao nodded and left wisely. Then it was the men's time. They were discussing military issues, perhaps in secret, and others were avoiding it.
Rosakov suddenly felt a little strange. It seemed that the deputy division commander did not just call him to discuss it casually. He also saw the notebook he brought.
"You talk about it now, and I will record the important things. Please pay attention, I am more concerned with the details you encounter in commanding operations."
In this way, he relied on his memory to talk about it, including how he blocked the attack and how the German army broke through the defense line and entered the city.
"In other words, the German offensive was finally suppressed because tank troops were finally dispatched." Yang Mingzhi asked.
"Yes! Those enemies received a death order, and their purpose was to break through a corner of the defense line. For this reason, they also sent people to feign attack from the flanks. Our army's front line of defense was breached, and many people died in the battle." At this point, he had to complain.
Said: "The enemy's armored vehicles are very troublesome, and their final fierce attack relies on these as the core. The machine gun barrage makes it difficult for our army to effectively defend."
"So, what about the anti-tank guns? And what about our rockets? None of them have any effect?" Yang Mingzhi asked, and the answer he got was yes.
"The combat effectiveness of our rockets is average, and the ignition method is no different from that of two hundred years ago. It is mainly used to kill enemy infantry. We need more power for armored vehicles. Unless the deputy division commander can continue to improve our rockets!"
These words reminded Yang Mingzhi. Previously, the 284th Division was able to block the onslaught of the tank regiment of the German 7th Armored Division by using rocket-propelled grenades. Now the 284th Division has lost all rocket-propelled grenades and replaced them with pure rocket-propelled grenades.
, smaller in size and less powerful.
Roshakov took the opportunity to talk about many things in the past. "I heard from veterans in our army that when the war started half a year ago, Ming, who was the deputy division commander, made great contributions to our army, and that's why he got the name of Guards.
.At that time we used a very powerful individual weapon, very similar to what we have now."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "That's an individual rocket-propelled grenade."
"If it works so well, why don't we continue to produce it?"
Roshakov's question is simply nonsense. This is all because the production conditions in Black Earth Village do not meet the requirements. But the army does need powerful weapons to make up for the fact that the current army is almost entirely equipped with light weapons, resulting in poor firepower.
Can RPGs still be made? If improvements are made, at least there are rockets now. If the warhead is improved and turned into a caliber, it will still be a rocket booster rather than a pure rocket.
This should be considered. Yang Mingzhi said: "What you said is worth thinking about. I also think that the current rockets are very inferior. Making large rockets is possible. The Podovich fighter has proved that this is feasible, but it consumes too much gunpowder and
Explosives. I think I should find a way to recreate the rocket-propelled grenade! Even if it has a shorter range, it can also be our firepower guarantee!"
…
Roshakov talked about a lot of battle details, which will become the things that need to be paid attention to when building fortifications in the future. As for him bringing up the RPG again, Yang Mingzhi thought about it, and he might as well start a new round of design immediately.
. That Liguschkov, he can create large airborne rockets, which have been proven to be very effective in actual combat. He should have a way to solve the RPG problem. (To be continued.) 8
