People in war should not be too optimistic and think about things in a worse direction. Only when faced with real difficulties will they have the ability to face them. Yang Mingzhi's philosophy of life led him to conclude that the German reconnaissance plan was for air strikes.
And prepare.
The conference was about to begin. After completing the communication to the Chernobian underground organization, Yevlov immediately issued an order, asking the relevant people to wait until the blacksmith village gathering. Suddenly the dark clouds of war seemed to have drifted over. He fired at the enemy reconnaissance plane in the air.
, has become an early warning.
Yang Mingzhi returned to the Blacksmith Village early and took Natasha directly to the division headquarters.
At this moment, the sun has not yet set. Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered the staff in the division headquarters: "You call the division commander and division political commissar immediately and tell them that I, Belekov, have returned with key information!"
Therefore, about ten minutes later, Yevlov and Yelentina arrived after a long journey. These two were also nervous. When they returned to the division headquarters, when they saw Yang Mingzhi, their first words were to ask
About important information.
Yang Mingzhi tilted his head: "Natasha, spread your notebook on the table. There is nothing for you to do here. You go home first."
Yang Mingzhi sent the girl away and immediately reported the information after the investigation.
A small meeting started immediately, and Yang Mingzhi said straight to the point: "According to my analysis, the enemy stayed at the airport in Catfish Village. After my analysis, the enemy must conduct an air strike, and the invited location for the air strike is Catfish."
Village Airport.”
"Are you so sure?" Yevlov asked in surprise.
"Of course, I am the chief of staff, and I have enough reasons to make such a judgment."
"Okay, just tell me your reasons!" Yevlov and Yelentina listened attentively.
Looking at these two people, Yang Mingzhi knew that he must have precise reasons and logically confirm his judgment. Only in this way can he continue to carry out a series of subsequent actions.
He had only two reasons. First, the Germans had a large number of dive bombers. They had the ability to carry out air strikes, as evidenced by the bombing of Homnage. Their purpose of attacking there was very clear, which was to find hidden forest swamps.
The main force of the 284th Division inside carried out air strikes.
The first point is basically a fact, so the enemy's tactical reconnaissance found the troops' airfield, and the enemy planes hovered for a long time, which is enough to prove that they have marked this place.
"Therefore, I think that it is the enemy's purpose to find our exact position in the vast forest and then carry out bombing. Thinking about it differently, if I were the German army, I must find the exact target to attack. Even if I know that the forest is hiding
We have a large number of armed forces, but we cannot determine where their strongholds are, so we can only attack exposed targets first, and this airport is probably the only one that can be attacked."
Yevlov and Yelentina naturally thought that Yang Mingzhi's words made sense, and they took another look at the notes recorded by Natasha.
"Really, your clerk's notes are all fragmentary, and here are only the key words of Podovich's words." After saying that, Yevlov raised his head and asked: "Who remembers this?"
"It's Natasha." Yang Mingzhi smiled.
"Natasha? Our sniper?"
"That's right. This girl is also a ninth-grade student. If it hadn't been for the war, if she had worked hard this year, she would have gone to college next year." Yevlov smiled bitterly. It's really irritating that people are more popular than others. That girl's cultural literacy
Very good, what about me? In my childhood, during the Tsarist Russia era, all the time that should have been spent studying was wasted.
Jelentina read it with relish: "This girl did a good job. She recorded all the key information. Now I basically understand what happened in the air battle at Podovich."
"That's it." As he said that, Yang Mingzhi took out another letter from his pocket. "This is Fuming's description of air combat. You should also take a look at this."
Both Yelentina and Yevlov carefully watched the anti-air combat in Catfish Village that day. The three of them discussed it at the division headquarters until dark. Some bread was delivered from the canteen, but no one took action until it was dark.
A sudden radio signal interrupted the conversation.
The radio operator received a reply from the Gomel underground organization. The letter was written by the underground mayor Lyudbalyov.
The radio operator carefully recorded the code, and finally translated it letter by letter, and obtained surprising information. After he and his colleagues worked hard to translate the long letter, the matter became serious, and the translated letter was immediately sent
Go to the division meeting room.
So much so that the radio operator broke into the door very rudely, and the guards still held him back. The radio operator shouted: "Sir, Gomel has reported very shocking intelligence to us!"
"What?!" Yevlov stood up in surprise, "Bring it to me immediately."
Yang Mingzhi and Yelenkina did not have time to pay attention to military rituals. Ordinary soldiers may not know much. As the top brass of the army, everyone is aware of the subtlety of the current situation. Yang Mingzhi knew that Yevlov had asked over there around noon.
Looking at the location of the German airport, it seems that Gomel has completed its mission?
Yevlov returned to his seat with the letter and spread the manuscript on the table.
"You two, take a look, the situation is really tense right now."
Yang Mingzhi was a little slow, but Yelenkina had already snatched it. The woman simply read it carefully. Now, even the guard at the door heard the specific content.
Lyudbalyov, the leader of the resistance who stood firm in Gomel and continued to lead the unyielding people to fight. He and his comrades have recently encountered ruthless attacks by the German occupying forces. Many comrades were captured and
They were severely tortured. Some people could not withstand the torture and chose to report. In this way, Gomel's underground organization suffered a huge blow, so much so that several of Lyudbalyov's backup headquarters were eliminated.
Therefore, his reply was to tell the 284th Division that due to the rampant German activities, in order to continue the struggle, his people must move to a new stronghold and continue their activities.
Before that, information about the German frontline airports had already been obtained.
Yelentina stated: "Originally, Lyudbalyov was planning to inform us of the airport information. They hoped that we could send out surprise troops, penetrate into the enemy's hinterland, and blow up all those damn planes. He was very surprised. We
He took the initiative to ask about the location of the German airport, and was very happy to say that we were welcome to bomb the airport."
"Hey! It seems that this old guy wants to go together with us." Yang Mingzhi motioned to Yeletina and told her the location of the German airport.
She continued reading, "The approximate location of the enemy is with Lechicha as the center, 8:40 southwest, about 20 kilometers away from Lechicha."
Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov immediately stood up, stood under the map on the wall, picked up a wooden ruler, measured, and basically determined the area.
"Haha, so these bastards are here!" Yang Mingzhi smiled, drew a circle with a radius of one kilometer on the map with a ruler and compass, and pointed: "The best defense is offense. Comrades, we must do a good job
Be prepared with both hands. First, we must evacuate the crowd and hide in the forest for a period of time to avoid possible air strikes. Second, we must take the initiative to remove the enemy's airport, or simply establish observation posts to prepare for air strikes.
warning."
This was the main content of the small meeting that night. What everyone talked about the most was the issue of defense against air strikes. Now Yang Mingzhi has laid out the attack plan.
Yevlov put his hand on Yang Mingzhi's shoulder: "Comrade, you are right, and Lyudbalyov is also right. We will have a meeting tomorrow, and we are just explaining our evacuation and preparedness plans to everyone. But
The fighter plane is fleeting and the enemy will not sleep. Otherwise, let's discuss the attack plan now."
Yang Mingzhi turned his head and saw Yevlov and Yelentina in high spirits. Haha, in any military operation, their eyes always shine.
"Okay! Let's make plans now, we can't waste our precious time!" (To be continued.) u
