In order to survive, the prisoners believed the Soviets' promises and told them everything about their troops.?
However, when they lost their use value, the Soviets would not take these five burdens with them. Yang Mingzhi was cruel and ordered the prisoners to be disposed of.
The enemy was stabbed to death by a dagger. When cleaning the battlefield, many wounded enemy soldiers were also wounded in the same way. The dirty work was done by Balzen's people. After solving this matter, Yang Mingzhi had to think again.
Think of countermeasures.
He ordered the soldiers to take away the enemy's corpses, and called the main officers to his side.
Everyone in the camp knew that Balzen had caught the tongue, and even if they didn't know what the prisoner said, they could guess that a battle was about to break out.
Seeing the eagerness of these people to try, Yang Mingzhi could easily guess what they were thinking, and immediately asked: "Are you crazy about wanting to fight?"
"Of course! I think we are going to create a major military miracle! How can I not be excited?" Yevgeny said excitedly.
Lavrenti immediately agreed: "I guess the prisoners have told us that the enemy is nearby. We may really annihilate the enemy's two infantry regiments this time! For this kind of credit, the deputy division commander should have another Gold Star medal on his chest.
."
"Hahaha, you two are too optimistic!" Yang Mingzhi paused, adjusted his mentality and continued: "The prisoners did confess the location of the enemy. They are only about seven kilometers away from us! The enemy is very tired.
Even if we give them enough time to escape, they are still not as fast as our elite troops. If we continue to advance, the annihilation battle will begin today!"
Upon hearing the word "war of annihilation", all the officers were bursting with adrenaline, and all physical fatigue was wiped away!
Yevgeny immediately raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist and hammered it on his chest, and swore: "I am willing to follow the deputy division commander! Life only lasts a few decades. With you, we can make a big difference with our small hands. If we, the remnants of the various armies and even the militia, form an army
, annihilating one enemy division and two regiments is worth the sacrifice!"
If someone takes the lead, everyone will express their opinions.
They all hope to continue fighting, even if they have already shown signs of fatigue. Yang Mingzhi is very worried about this fatigue, but now the troops have simply won the jackpot. The more tired enemies are resting in front. If this opportunity is lost, the chance of annihilation battle will be unknown.
It’s the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and stood up immediately: "I'm still worried about everyone's physical condition. After so many days of fighting, we are exhausted to the point of being unbearable. It seems that I underestimated everyone's physical fitness and fighting will! That's fine!
, we are ready to fight and will not give the enemy a chance to breathe."
The battle situation developed too quickly, and the soldiers were immediately notified to stop resting immediately, finish their meals as quickly as possible, and then organize their equipment and prepare for battle.
There are still more than 2,000 troops in the five battalions. These soldiers are in very good physical condition. The sound of metal collisions can be heard everywhere in the woods. Soldiers are checking the chambers of guns and magazines, and some are polishing their daggers.
Since the enemy was not far away and the coordinates were determined, Yang Mingzhi decided not to wait for anyone, so he led two thousand people to give the exhausted enemy another "massacre".
He immediately made a battle plan. Lavrenti and Yevgeny, the two battalions with the strongest combat effectiveness, were deployed on both wings.
Vasilyev and Tchaikov's men were weak and stayed in the middle. In order to make up for this lack of combat effectiveness, Doronin's artillery battalion also stayed in the middle.
The entire formation is like a fishing net. After a frontal exchange of fire, the troops on both wings can quickly circle back to the enemy's rear, and the two lines of attack can complete the annihilation. This is the most roundabout tactic used by later generations of squadrons, but it is always said to the subordinates.
It feels a bit inconsistent.
So Yang Mingzhi changed his rhetoric and said concisely: "This is Hannibal's formation at the Battle of Cannae. If they can win, we can too. Don't think that the enemy has more troops, which means they are stronger. Now they are just a group of sheep, and we are all
It’s a brown bear in the forest!”
These words resonated with the collective resonance of the soldiers. The enemy was indeed very tired, and this kind of battle was easier for everyone. Because the enemy was as weak as a sheep!
Under Yang Mingzhi's order, the radio operator first communicated with Roshakov who was pursuing the first unit of the 722nd Division. In addition to ordering them to continue the pursuit, he also announced to him the annihilation plan here.
Roshakov and Kravsky were shocked!
"After all, the deputy division commander is the bravest! He has already made a complete plan when he ordered the annihilation operation. We can't slow down or embarrass the troops!" Rosakov immediately informed the battalion commanders of the information, and the news was level one.
It took one level after another to reach the ordinary soldiers. The soldiers were envious of those who wanted to create military miracles, so they simply obeyed the regimental commander's order and the entire army accelerated the pursuit.
This was a blow to the Ludwig Regiment of the 722nd Division! Instead of slowing down, the enemy accelerated their pursuit! This made the soldiers even more tired. Many people complained about leg pain but did not dare to slow down. People could only throw away some
Carrying a heavy load and moving forward, this act of abandoning armor actually created an escape route, along which Roshakov could keep chasing.
Furthermore, the enemy's actions also prove that their combat awareness is rapidly declining, while the morale of the Soviet soldiers continues to rise!
Just in front of Yang Mingzhi's marching route, Hoffman and Floyd were forced to stop and rest. Each company counted its own numbers, and the compiled results were reported to their respective regiment headquarters.
These two men, like the majority of the soldiers, were physically and mentally exhausted. They were actually very relieved to learn that there were only 3,000 soldiers left behind.
Hoffman comforted Floyd, who had recovered somewhat: "I thought our army was about to collapse, but it seems the situation is not at its worst. The soldiers are in good physical condition. If we keep walking, we will definitely find Wolf of the 722nd Division.
group."
Floyd, who was lying on the stretcher, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The enemy is still chasing us! Instead of thinking about whether we can join forces with friendly forces, we should think about whether we can escape the enemy's pursuit! Do you think we can almost survive with these?
How can soldiers who are exhausted from work withstand the enemy's offensive?"
"Definitely!" Hoffman said immediately, but he hesitated as soon as he finished speaking.
Look at the soldiers. The machine gunners have at least organized some machine gun positions, but the others are not exhausted physically and mentally. In order to evacuate quickly, many soldiers were forced to abandon their equipment. Many people only had a cotton coat at night. After one night, many soldiers
Started to cough. What’s worse than the disease is that many people’s rations along with other equipment have been lost, and some soldiers are starving! They are currently receiving relief from their comrades, but there are only a few combat rations left. Once they are eaten, everyone will suffer together.
hungry!
Hoffman looked at Freud again and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Friends, we are really brothers in need! Why do we always lose the battle? I'm afraid this is our last failure."
Floyd could hear something in these words. It was the last defeat, which meant that this was the last battle! He wanted to cheer up. The most glorious thing was to take up arms and die in the final battle. But with a strong effort, the ribs
This chest is very painful.
The two rested for a long time. Suddenly, the security machine gun on the perimeter opened fire! (To be continued.) 8
