Chapter 394 Five battalions participate in the action
The Soviet soldiers have always been on alert, and they have never relaxed their military training on weekdays. Under normal circumstances, there is an armed cross-country trip every two days. This requirement is for all armed personnel, including female soldiers and young soldiers.
Yang Mingzhi did not intend to take risks in this expedition. It would be better for young men like Kharkiv and his men not to participate. It was already good to bring a battalion of female soldiers with him this time.
During World War I, Maozi organized many female military battalions, and this tradition is still followed today. Female soldiers fighting on the front lines are fighting to the death against the invaders. Currently, there are four female military battalions in the area under the control of the 284th Division, among which the most experienced ones have combat experience.
The only ones left were Joshua's sisters. After all, the female soldiers in this battalion had participated in real battles.
The soldiers were easily summoned and they gathered in the blacksmith village!
Because the mission was about to start tomorrow, that night, Yang Mingzhi called the regimental commanders and battalion commanders to the division headquarters to reiterate the mission plan.
The plan was adjusted urgently. A total of five battalions will go north along the Dnieper River until they meet up with the reconnaissance company. Yang Mingzhi said a lot. He finally emphasized: "In this battle, we have a certain chance of defeating the enemy's regular army.
A large force encounters. Once this happens, an encounter will be inevitable. I hope everyone will show a fearless spirit. Those 715th Division and 722nd Division were defeated by you. If they dare to invade, we will destroy them!"
The soldiers had natural confidence in those two divisions. Even in the previous battles, the troops inevitably suffered heavy losses. Relatively speaking, the Germans suffered more serious losses.
Everyone got tasks one after another, including Liguschkov from the arsenal. He also got a long list of weapons and ammunition, and these weapons and ammunition were immediately delivered to the troops.
As a result, RPG shooting tools were actually assigned to the infantry platoons. Each platoon had two primary and secondary shooters, and ten spare warheads! Fifteen more recoilless rifles were produced, with more than 300 shells, and all these weapons were
On the equipment.
I was also worried that the German tank mobile troops would suddenly attack. According to the intelligence, the German army had many Panzer III tanks and assault guns. The anti-tank guns had not been used for a long time, and now they had a place to use them. They were urgently cleaned and the precious original bullets were
Also took it out.
The combination of good weapons and high morale is the key to victory. Yang Mingzhi will not fight an unprepared battle. This time he will even bring military doctors with him, and some nurses from the hospital will accompany the army.
Several battalion commanders went back to reorganize the troops, and Yang Mingzhi left Lavrenti and Yevgeny behind.
"Why, what special mission does the deputy division commander have for the two of us to stay?" Lavrenty asked.
"It's nothing, I just have some emotions." Yang Mingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief. Sitting on the chair, he thought of some past events.
He knocked on the table and said: "I have not personally led troops in combat for nearly three months. You two are my capable generals. In the past few months, you have not directly participated in any major operations. This time we have to do it again."
It’s really exciting to fight side by side.”
"Yes, and the significance of this operation is also very important." Yang Mingzhi's words reminded Lavrenti of his thoughts, "This time we are welcoming back the comrades of the Gomel underground municipal committee, and they will resume their work here."
Ripet Marsh also belongs to the Gomel Municipal District, and they should not call it an underground municipal committee after they arrive!"
"That's right!" Yang Mingzhi chuckled, "Our place is still a Soviet-controlled area, and this is still Gomel City. It will be of great significance after the municipal committee members move here! We can also report to our superiors, Gomel, Belarus
, was not occupied by Germany, which greatly improved the overall morale."
This Rafe started the season, and Yang Mingzhi had to think more about it.
Relating to the normal historical plane, the Guerrilla Republic, a new republic recognized by the Soviet Union, was established in the hinterland of the Pripet Swamp in May 1942.
In the new historical dimension, I am afraid that this republic will not appear, because the arrival of the Gomel Municipal Committee here essentially proves that Belarus has not perished.
No one knows what the future will be like. But Yang Mingzhi is convinced that if he can personally bring back those people from the Gomel Municipal Committee, no matter whether it is a new Belarus or a guerrilla republic in the future, with the achievements he has made,
Enough for my happiness for the rest of my life!
Lavrenti and Yevgeny couldn't help but discuss enthusiastically. Seeing how excited they were, Yang Mingzhi also said cheerfully: "You all know that this operation has more political significance than military significance. What we are doing now
The largest armed force behind enemy lines in Belarus, when they come to us, we will become even stronger. We will work hard to pull the team together, and when we launch a desperate counterattack, maybe we will walk out of the swamp as a group army!"
These words are very tempting to these two people. As far as the current situation is concerned, due to the emergency of the war, the two commanders and deputy commanders are also temporary. In this operation, the two will still act as battalion commanders, and Yang Mingzhi will serve as all five commanders.
The commander-in-chief of the battalion.
Yang Mingzhi left the two behind just to rekindle old friendship. After all, they and their subordinates, more than a thousand people, are considered the most combat-effective conventional troops. They are the mainstay, and they will also take the lead once they encounter the enemy in this operation.
"I've said all that needs to be said. You go back and tell the soldiers about the importance of this operation. We will leave urgently after breakfast tomorrow morning!"
"Yes! Sir!" The two of them stood up in unison and received a military salute. Their eyes were full of determination, and Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but stand up and return the salute. At this moment, he concluded that this operation must be successful!
…
This night, the blacksmith village turned into a large military camp. The team of 3,000 people was equipped with many new weapons and a large amount of military rations were supplied. They will set out tomorrow. In the temporary tents, many soldiers were snoring loudly. As a veteran
, they had absolutely no fear before the battle, and all slept very peacefully.
Yang Mingzhi did not stay in the camp. He talked to the patrol guards and then returned to his home. It seemed that his wife's supplies were well prepared.
Star Tao had already learned about her husband's new decision. She was extremely excited, so she prepared two items: one for her husband and one for herself.
During this operation, we learned that there were many ordinary people in the friendly forces, and their situation was very bad. Yang Tao was ordered to take action at the critical moment, and she will lead a group of nurses to participate in the operation.
The girl's heart was beating fast at the thought of meeting Natasha.
Yang Mingzhi pushed away his wife and saw that his wife was still sorting out the equipment.
"My dear, are everything ready?"
"No. We still need to pack more personal belongings!"
Seeing his wife immersed in preparations, Yang Mingzhi felt a little baffled. He sat on the bed and asked: "How many personal items are there? You women are always procrastinating, as if everything can be used! Everything is available.
Must bring it!”
"Of course!" Yang Tao turned around and retorted: "You must bring more clothes and food. Once we encounter special circumstances, we will not complain. This is what you said before."
"What else have I said?" Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and continued: "My dear, you have been busy all day, so you should take a rest. You are a military doctor, not a logistics quartermaster. Besides, look at you putting cans into your backpack one by one.
Rise, I’m not a big fan, how can I finish everything?”
"It's better to bring more. I'm worried about Natasha. She must be very weak after sleeping in the open for so long. As her sister and your wife, I have to care about you two."
These words gave Yang Mingzhi a wake-up call. Maybe now, Natasha has fallen asleep wrapped in a blanket. She is a very strong girl. Girls who are confident and courageous are the most beautiful. She must have achieved great results in this operation.
"Okay! You quickly pack up your things and go to bed. We will go out tomorrow." No matter how much Yang Mingzhi did, he had a lot of mental work today, so he had to rest his brain cells quickly. From tomorrow on, he will be exhausted physically and mentally. (
