Since they wanted to discuss countermeasures, the three of them had to consider the series of things that the reconnaissance company encountered.
Balzen spread his hands on the table and said: "They encountered enemy patrols while marching, and had fierce battles with the enemy on the road line. We know that the German 715th Division's combat effectiveness is very poor, but they actually have tank troops
, which was unimaginable in the past.”
"The enemy has indeed strengthened the defense on the front line of the highway. We can see this at a glance." Yang Mingzhi knocked on the table, his expression looking quite happy. "Comrades, Balzen claimed that he was attacked by at least two battalions.
The German army pursued them, and they fought in the forest, but they finally broke through. Our soldiers are really powerful."
"Yes, and your Natasha." Yelentina said, "Look at Balzen's report, this girl hit at least a hundred enemies. This is simply incredible!"
Of course, Yelentina is very pragmatic when it comes to statistics of battle results. Unless Natasha brings genuine dog tags, or there is a witness to prove that she indeed killed a hundred enemies, the results can be recorded in the book. Maybe she did.
As Balzen said, by completing a huge number of kills, it is impossible to verify whether it was really a sniper kill, not a wound.
Yang Mingzhi nodded. This girl was still giving him a face as always. But then he thought about it. Natasha hit a hundred enemies, and the actual number of bullets fired must have been hundreds. The high-intensity battle must have been destroying her body crazily.
, even if she is safe now, she must still be very tired physically and mentally.
"We don't need to say more about Natasha." Yang Mingzhi said seriously: "Balzen is going to lead the comrades of the Gomel Municipal Committee through the enemy's blockade. They have to cross the highway, and maybe this will lead to a new battle. We must
Being prepared means going to meet them."
After hearing this, Yelentina immediately raised her right hand: "If it's to fight, I completely agree!"
"Yes, of course it's a fight! We have to fight. They blew up our airport, don't think it will end simply. Our counterattack has just begun."
After saying that, Yang Mingzhi stood up and walked to the map wall.
Yevlov is self-aware and personally directs large-scale operations, which can easily lead the troops into trouble. Yelentina is preoccupied with logistics and ideological work, and she has no time to overstep her authority and command the army, nor can she.
Therefore, Yang Mingzhi's role was particularly important, and he himself came up with some countermeasures in a very short period of time.
All three people gathered under the map wall. Yang Mingzhi held the baton and expressed his opinions.
"Comrades, I believe that Balzen will lead those people through the highway, but I have to deny that they will probably pay a high price. Because those women and children are really a burden, as well as the Tchaikov Guerrilla Brigade, the strength of this unit
It’s unknown what their combat effectiveness is. My subjective assumption is that their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of their enemies.
People with poor quality will definitely pay the price with their lives in the encounter with the enemy, and only the remaining elite troops can escape. But they will still be pursued by the enemy, and we must help them."
These words sounded very disrespectful to the Soviet Union's guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Yelentina didn't like these words, but she believed Berekov had his reasons.
Yang Mingzhi also explained that Balzen and his new comrades, this huge team has been moving to fight. Even if they are elite soldiers, after being tortured by the enemy for a long time, their logistics support is on the verge of collapse. Their physical and net victory
The situation must be very bad. That’s why there was an own incident!
Friendly injuries are unavoidable on the battlefield, especially among the Yankees in World War II. Their artillerymen often did not recognize their relatives, and it was not uncommon for friendly troops to be killed.
As a result, the reconnaissance company was unscathed by two Soviet armies, but the Tchaikov guerrilla brigade was actually hit by more than thirty people! The battle damage ratio was frightening. It was based on this report that Yang Mingzhi determined that this new
My friends, their situation is already dire.
Yang Mingzhi spoke for a moment, then paused and elaborated: "Before, Lyudbarev claimed wishfully that they could go south safely and join us. Now looking at it, with their poor combat effectiveness, the German 715th Division assembled
If you don't have a corps, you can kill them all in one go!"
This explanation is reasonable and well-founded. This is undoubtedly a basin of cold water poured over by Yevlov.
"When they met the reconnaissance company, they got lucky."
"That's right." Yang Mingzhi affirmed. He raised his baton and said: "The enemy has about a regiment of troops to reinforce the airport that was attacked by us. They have a high chance of discovering our people. Knowing that the airport has been completely
Blow it up. The German 715th Division, 722nd Division, and the SS troops in Rechica will definitely respond. They may send Serious Disease to attack the Gomel Municipal Committee and his party. By then the enemy will be outnumbered, and we can help
They only have us."
Yang Mingzhi's eyes were full of determination. Yevlov probably understood the meaning and couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
"Berekov, are you going to follow the action we took two months ago? We took action on a large scale?"
"No!" Yang Mingzhi immediately denied, "At our current juncture, it is not wise to organize a large-scale battle. The new sowing season is now, and large-scale planting of potatoes and various vegetables must begin. This requires a lot of
The labor force, our villagers, mobilized the peasant women. After all, they are not as strong as men. And there are only more than 200 prisoners of war. These guys must be holding their thoughts and thinking about escaping. I don’t think we can completely believe them. In the end
, the planting of food and the reclamation of new land still require soldiers to go into battle in person."
Yang Mingzhi knew that in China 10,000 kilometers away, with external supplies almost cut off, the Eighth Route Army began a self-rescue mass production movement. Just after the spring of 1942, soldiers and civilians went into battle, including military officers and civilian personnel.
, all picked up hoes.
The results were very significant! During the harvest season, the troops were well fed and wore new clothes. These were jointly produced by the military and civilians, which greatly enhanced the strength of the anti-Japanese war troops.
The situation in northern Shaanxi is very similar to Pripet in this regard. There are a large number of sheep in Heitu Village, and the shearing season is coming, and then it will be time for villagers to weave wool on a large scale.
Women also had to become a labor force to participate in production, but some men had to stay for farming. This created a conflict with military operations, so Yang Mingzhi decided to divide the army into two - one part to continue production and the other to go on an expedition.
"I decided that we must send some soldiers to actively look for our friends. Once we find that they are fighting with the enemy, our powerful troops will go into battle and defeat the enemy." Yang Mingzhi said.
Yevlov and Yelentina continued to look at the map. The reconnaissance company's retaliatory action was finally going to turn into a war.
"Well, I still have a lot of worries. God knows how many tanks they have in the enemy's 715th Division. Please report that the German army is also equipped with a small amount of RPG weapons similar to our army. At this time, the 715th Division is no longer what it used to be.
.”
Regarding these issues, Yang Mingzhi no longer wanted to say more. He turned around and reiterated: "Comrades! War is always driven by people. It is difficult for an advanced weapon to achieve decisive victory, and it can only be made up of people with a high degree of revolutionary consciousness.
Only an army with scientific and advanced weapons can achieve final victory. The enemy has tanks, aircraft, and rocket-propelled grenades. We have everything they have! The result? Vyazma, our army is counterattacking.
The blitzkrieg that the German army was proud of was completely weakened by us, and our army has already launched a local counterattack!"
These words were inspiring, especially the discussion about weapons and soldiers, and Yelentina especially liked to hear it. She asked excitedly: "So? Which teams have you decided to send to participate?"
Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds. "Let my old men go, the two battalions of Lavrenti and Yevgeny. In addition, let the Jewish battalion also go into battle, and Joshua's female battalion."
Above. Finally, there are the remaining members of Doronin's artillery company. Now I think Doronin can be promoted to battalion commander. Bring all the reserve artillery. Since the enemy has tanks and RPGs, our recoilless guns and our
RPGs should also join the battle."
This decision brought the number of troops in this operation to nearly 3,000!
Yevlov said: "This time the entire second regiment should be dispatched!"
That's right, Yang Mingzhi has made a new decision: "I don't like to stay in the military camp. I will personally lead the team in this operation! This is my style!" (To be continued.).
