Rosakov's troops are getting closer and closer to Yang Mingzhi, and they are destined to meet... on the night of this day.??
After the battle, the battlefield was roughly cleaned, and most of the captured materials could not be used immediately. They were collected and thrown in place. After resting for a while, Yang Mingzhi ordered the entire army to continue moving forward, even walking some distance after nightfall.
Many warriors behave like hunters. They have found many clues left by the enemy and determined the direction in which the enemy is fleeing to ensure that they will not lose them.
Balzen's reconnaissance company did a good job in this regard. When the troops decided to stop and rest for the night, he still led his men to explore ahead.
Yang Mingzhi knew that most of the soldiers were very tired because they were doing cross-country training with heavy loads every day. The soldiers' physical fitness and endurance were very strong. After many fierce battles, even the strongest people would get tired. No, just now
When we stopped, the soldiers who had eaten had already wrapped themselves in blankets and went to sleep. There were waves of snoring in the camp.
All the tasks of managing the soldiers were given to each battalion commander, and no new orders were issued. Yang Mingzhi also enjoyed a period of leisure.
He pulled out his dagger and thrust it into a meat can, and opened the money completely. There was no need to worry about anything anymore, the dagger was used as a spoon, and Yang Mingzhi just ate the beef at the tip of the knife.
"Brother! It's really dangerous for you to eat like this, you will cut your mouth!" Yang Tao came over, also holding a can in his hand.
Yang Mingzhi chuckled, and the girl was followed by Natasha. The two of them had nothing else to do, so they sat down next to him with their weapons.
Yang Tao continued what he had just said, pouting and saying, "You still have to use a knife even though you have a can opener. You men are always so wild."
"Of course! If we are in bed, I will let you understand what a real man is." Yang Mingzhi winked, stretched out his arms naturally, and held his wife in his arms.
The two girls planned to sleep next to the chief this night, firstly to feel safe, and secondly to be at his disposal at any time. They brought the blankets and placed them on the ground, and this time they opened the can of beef with a can opener and started to feast.
The appearance of the two of them eating was not elegant at all. It was obvious that they had exhausted their physical energy by marching and fighting for a long time. This canned meat full of grease must be able to provide a steady stream of physical strength. In addition, Yang Mingzhi was surprised to find that his wife took out
A small iron box, when opened, it turned out to be biscuits!
"Brother! Stop eating with a knife. I'll give you the spoon and the seized biscuits. Let's eat them among the three of us."
Yang Mingzhi nodded and rubbed his wife's neck.
"You are very thoughtful, and you both performed very well in today's battle. It's just you, my dear, your marksmanship is indeed not as good as your sister's. Otherwise, that officer would have been eliminated. I guess a senior official at that time,
Maybe even the enemy commander."
He just said that, and Yang Tao listened deliberately. That shot did not hit the target. If it was really the enemy's leader, after destroying his core command, the enemy might not be able to successfully break through. Maybe the annihilation battle would be completed.
Yang Mingzhi saw that her little face was a little depressed, and quickly comforted her: "Okay! You are a rare military doctor. In the profession of military doctor, your marksmanship is the best, and among snipers, your medical skills are the best."
This dialectical remark made both girls so amused that their sore arms seemed to no longer hurt.
The three of them talked and laughed, adding a touch of humanity to this cruel war. Yang Mingzhi was very happy to see Natasha's smiling face. After all, she did not turn into a cold killer.
I thought that tonight would be spent so peacefully, but I never expected that Balzen personally led some people back urgently. After returning to the camp to see his commander, he immediately reported the explosive intelligence: "Reporting to the commander, we have met with friendly forces.
!They are Roshakov’s reconnaissance troops, and our comrades are very close to us!”
The meeting was basically inevitable. Yang Mingzhi did not expect it to happen so soon. How could he still sleep after learning about this? He quickly asked: "Where is Rosakov now? How long do you estimate it will be before we can meet?"
"If they continue to move, they will reach our camp soon!" Balzen's words were extremely firm, and Yang Mingzhi knew that this was the truth. He patted Balzen on the shoulder and ordered excitedly: "You have done a great job.
Okay, let’s continue to do one thing now. Be a guide and guide the friendly troops to us so that the two armies can join forces!”
"Yes! Sir!"
Balzen turned around and led his entourage out immediately.
There are no returning soldiers from the reconnaissance company. They are not wandering in the forest, but have already joined forces with Roshakov.
Roshakov has been chasing Ludwig since he received the order. He did not expect that the Germans retreated very quickly, as if the enemies had practiced long-distance running. He and Klavsky did not have the resourcefulness of Yang Mingzhi.
, and because they had just fought a fierce battle, the soldiers' energy was consumed a lot.
Therefore, he did not make high-speed roundabouts to outflank, but stuck behind the enemy's buttocks to chase. This Soviet army believed that sooner or later the enemy would be tired and fall down, and then it would be the time to annihilate them.
Unexpectedly, we encountered the deputy division commander's troops before we had a decisive battle with the enemy.
After the soldiers of Balzen's reconnaissance company met with friendly forces, Roshakov basically determined the position of the deputy division commander. He immediately ordered: "Everyone postpones the rest time. We will change the direction of action. We will meet up with the deputy division commander tonight!"
This was hugely good news, and the soldiers moved forward.
There was a rustle in the forest, and Yang Mingzhi waited quietly until Balzen walked into the camp, stood in front of him, pointed to the back, and said with a smile: "Deputy commander, look, Roshakov and Kravsky,
They've arrived."
The two armies soon fully joined forces, and the sleeping soldiers woke up one after another!
After Yang Mingzhi shook hands with the two men, there was no welcome ceremony. He asked straight to the point: "You have fought with the enemy. How many troops have you brought now?"
"There are three battalions, with a total strength of 1,400 people." Rosakov said.
"So what about the enemies you are chasing? How many troops do you estimate they have?"
"I'm afraid there are two thousand people! They were an infantry regiment, and we killed at least four hundred of them!"
Yang Mingzhi had a wicked smile on his lips and asked: "You only have so many people, and you are chasing a huge number of enemies. Don't you think it's dangerous?"
Roshakov shook his head: "The most dangerous thing is for the enemy to stop and resist desperately. It's a pity that they are running away!" He changed the subject and asked his commander directly: "The deputy division commander is not doing the same thing as us. The enemy you are chasing
More than us!”
Yang Mingzhi smiled, patted this man on the shoulder and didn't ask any more questions. He called the two of them to his side, and also ordered all the battalion commanders to come for a meeting after the rendezvous.
Now seven battalion commanders gathered together. Some of them were veterans of the 284th, some were from other units, and even guerrilla captains. Now they were all fighting under the flag of the 284th Guards Division. Yang Mingzhi was very pleased to see them.
A new combat meeting had to be held. Everyone sat in a circle. Yang Mingzhi pointed to the direction of the enemy's retreat and said: "Now that we have joined forces, the enemy has probably joined forces as well! In today's annihilation battle, we will not be able to completely annihilate the troops dispatched by the German 715th Division.
After they reunited with the 722nd Division, the problem became difficult! But we should not back down. Both enemies are very tired. Once they are corrected and recharged, it will be troublesome! We must eliminate them as much as possible, even if we injure more
An enemy."
"I completely agree with the deputy division commander's decision." Rosakov raised his hand.
When it comes to the will to fight, the Soviet army has nothing to say. What’s more, in this battle, all the armed forces in the swamp were mobilized. Division Commander Yevlov was also on the way north, and even tanks were mobilized.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "I know that the soldiers are very tired now, and I hope everyone can persist a little longer for victory. Now we and the enemy are completely fighting for consumption. Thanks to our daily hard training, our army has improved physically."
Far better than the enemy, we must seize this opportunity. As long as we complete this victory, the German army will be forced to further strengthen its defense along the road from Mozyr to Gomel in the future, and will not rush south again.
When spring arrives, the ice and snow in the mud ponds will melt and the swamps will turn into natural chasms. We will also be self-reliant on this strategic island and reserve the strength to act again."
Everyone understood that winning this battle was not easy. The enemy would be forced to strategically shrink in this area, which would give the swamp precious precious time for safe development. People listened to Yang Mingzhi’s eloquent remarks and thought about this.
I am convinced, and I understand more and more the necessity of future wars.
