The Romanian army retreated from the west of the encirclement. To the north was the enemy force that was launching a massive counterattack, and to the south was the fallen artillery position. To the east was the swamp, and the only way to break out was to the west. The Soviet army did not continue to pursue it, and the Kurdish army
Znetsov knew that he did not have more time to deal with this group of people.
Yang Mingzhi ordered the team to close in, and the special anti-tank battalion stopped the pursuit earlier than the friendly forces.
The men killed and wounded many enemies, many of them were shot in the back and died, and many of them laid down their weapons and surrendered.
He didn't understand Romanian at all. Yang Mingzhi held the gun sand and watched his subordinates gather the prisoners one by one.
"Report to the battalion commander, I arrested more than fifty people in a row. What should we do?"
Yang Mingzhi looked at First Company Commander Laf Lianji, "How did we deal with prisoners in the past?"
"To be shot, sir."
This is the answer given by the Soviets to Yang Mingzhi. It seems that these old idiots have not cherished life since they were born. It is common for these people to massacre on the battlefield, but shooting unarmed prisoners is something Yang Mingzhi himself cannot do. In the past, he turned a blind eye.
He closed one eye and pretended to allow his subordinates to do this, but this time he decided to change.
Lavrenti had already decided to order his men to destroy the group of invaders. Yang Mingzhi fiercely pressed the muzzle of his gun. "It's better to save it. We have seen too many deaths."
Yang Mingzhi was very prestigious in the camp, and these prisoners were not executed immediately in the end. Of course, their situation would not be any better.
The Romanians paid a very heavy price and finally broke through the encirclement. They rushed all the way to the west. They abandoned many heavy weapons and armor along the way, and their morale had completely collapsed.
The Soviet artillery continued to create an atmosphere of terror, with the 88-gun bombardment unbridled. After all, these heavy weapons would not be used again after this battle. After the troops withdrew, all these things were blown up.
The Soviet army began to quickly clean up the battlefield. The Soviet army paid a very small price in this battle, with only more than a hundred people killed. As a result, it caused huge losses to the Romanians. The tank troops were completely wiped out, and the infantry suffered serious losses.
In the end, only more than 6,000 people escaped from the battlefield. They were frightened, and the defeated troops fled like crazy. Even their commander, even though he shot several deserters, could not control his subordinates. They even almost turned traitor.
, with a sense of defeat, they just wanted to quickly reunite with friendly forces and immediately sent a report. The troops encountered a tenacious blockade by the Soviet army in Mozyr City and suffered heavy losses.
This was a great victory. Yang Mingzhi ordered his subordinates to take the prisoners back first to obey Kuznetsov's decision. Now he also joined the ranks of cleaning the battlefield, "ordering the soldiers to look for usable weapons and daily necessities."
The soldiers always felt that their commanders from China liked to pick up rags on the battlefield, and many people did not like to turn over the enemy's corpses. But orders are orders, and Yang Mingzhi asked the soldiers to focus more on ammunition.
He and his wife sat cross-legged on the grass, and he even lit a cigarette.
The entire battlefield was in a mess, and there was no joy or sadness after the battle. Those who survived were more indifferent, and then carried out the orders of the commander.
Yang Mingzhi's waiting paid off handsomely. The soldiers put the collected ammunition into linen bags and returned carrying several machine guns.
Three machine guns were placed in front of Yang Mingzhi. Compared with his excitement, his wife seemed more excited. In her desperation, she simply said in Chinese: "Isn't this made in the Czech Republic? The magazine of twenty bullets is amazing."
Yang Mingzhi smiled, stood up and held a machine gun in his arms. In the past, he had only seen this kind of weapon in movies, but now he could actually hold it in his arms.
Except for the third one, the four soldiers worked together to carry a heavier one.
This is clearly a heavy machine gun. In fact, this is the ZB57 heavy machine gun widely used by the Romanians. This machine gun uses the same 7.92 mm rifle ammunition as the ZB26, and is completely compatible with the Mauser rifle ammunition.
The ammunition used by the Germans and Romanians is almost of the same standard, and the ammunition collected by the soldiers is all 7.92X57 mm. These are extraordinary times, and when Soviet-made bullets are severely consumed, they have to use captured ammunition to solve urgent needs.
The soldiers returned with loads of supplies. In addition to ammunition, many soldiers also found supplies such as daggers, shovels, and kettles. These trophies were privately owned by the soldiers, so many people also found cigarettes and hurriedly puffed away after the battle.
Fan.
Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov were called to the headquarters, and the faces of the officers were filled with the joy of victory.
Kuznetsov watched everyone cough twice, and everyone immediately stood at attention.
"In this battle, we have defeated part of the enemy, and our strategic significance has been successfully achieved. In the next step, we will retreat calmly. We will be forced to leave Mozyr and give this city to the Germans."
In fact, many officers are still determined to defend every inch of territory. After this victory, some officers even believed that Mozyr should not be abandoned after it was liberated, and that the troops could stay and continue to resist. Kuznetsov immediately interrupted this trend of thought,
After all, the rapid victory of this battle was largely due to the enemy's ignorance and the perfect deployment of our own troops.
He looked at Berekov, "In this battle, our Chinese friends' armored vehicle surprise tactics completely crushed the Romanians. Occupying their artillery positions also saved us from losing troops and generals."
Yang Mingzhi nodded humbly and attributed the victory to the commander's leadership.
The officers are all aware of the correct tactics of this Chinese guy. Of course, what the commander said is very reasonable. Mozyr is about to become the target of public criticism. If the traffic line is interrupted, the German army will inevitably come to inspect. After this battle, the Romanian army will inevitably report shocking battle losses.
, maybe at this moment of the meeting, the enemy is already running towards Mozyri.
Retreat was inevitable. The troops simply cleaned the battlefield. Facing the wilderness full of Luo Jun corpses, the Soviet army really had no time to collect the corpses one by one.
Similarly, after the battle, more than a thousand prisoners of war were escorted back to the city. Facing these people, the Soviet army immediately divided into two groups.
One group says that these guys are not Germans, and all simple and crude executions should not be carried out. The other group believes that these people are no different from the Germans, they are all invaders, and naturally they cannot be treated differently.
Yang Mingzhi estimated that these guys must be in trouble. The Romanians were originally opposed to the Soviet Union, and they served the Axis powers in order to gain the Romanian liebensraum.
Forget it, no matter how many there are, they will retreat soon anyway.
In the battle on the battlefield, the 284th Guards Division miraculously lost five people, and the dead were all new recruits. This battle loss ratio shocked Yang Mingzhi, but looking back and thinking about it, it seems that the Romanians were not cheap at all in a normal battle.
Zhan. If so, it was the fact that the artillery position in the salient was besieged and destroyed.
The temporary headquarters of the 284th Division was in an inconspicuous civilian house. The battle was over. The soldiers immediately began to replenish ammunition and eat. Kuznetsov's order was very sudden. They could not stay here for a long time. Everyone slept in the afternoon after the battle.
, and waited until eight o'clock in the evening for the entire army to withdraw from the city.
Compared to soldiers, Yang Mingzhi has a bed to sleep on, especially with his wife in his arms. In the battle just now, this girl rushed very hard, and her physical strength must be far superior to that of a second-year high school girl in her original plane. Hey, all this is not due to the war.
Forced out.
The two of them didn't say much, and quickly fell asleep due to exhaustion.
On the other hand, after discussion, Kuznetsov did not sentence the captured Romanians to death. They had put down their weapons, thrown away their helmets, and thrown away their armed belts. Some were even forced to throw away their coats and wore only
Wearing underwear and barefoot. They were forced out of Mozyr by Soviet soldiers, and then they went wherever they liked.
Some officers were dissatisfied with the matter of the prisoners, thinking that Kuznetsov was suspected of condoning adultery. But the commander was not a guy who only knew how to massacre: "There are still some differences between Romanians and Nazis. Many of their soldiers were forced to fight with the Germans.
Cooperate, we let them live, stripping them down to just their underwear is already a huge humiliation. Now let them go back with shame, and make their guys angry at the same time."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the scouts in the forest on the other side of the river reported in horror that a large number of German troops were moving towards Mozyr.
Kuznetsov, who was preparing his luggage, immediately became alert. What he was most worried about happened.
The Romanians called on neighboring troops to attack Mozyr. The fastest runner was naturally the Imperial Division. Their vanguard troops ran along the road along the Pripet River. They could reach there quickly as long as they stepped on the accelerator. During this period, they encountered
Despite the obstruction of sporadic Soviet soldiers scattered in the dense forest, they still moved towards the goal after wasting a little time.
Those guys have a lot of tanks, and Kuznetsov urgently ordered the resting troops to get ready immediately and retreat earlier.
The soldier opened the door and said, "Report to the battalion commander, the latest order, we will evacuate now!"
Yang Mingzhi sat up suddenly, surprising the person next to him.
Yang Tao's hair was disheveled and her eyes were drowsy. Yang Mingzhi didn't give the girl a moment to cry and shook her awake violently. "Xiao Tao! We have to retreat now!"
The two quickly got dressed and went out, only to see that their subordinates were all ready.
A vanguard force of the German army was rushing towards Mozyri. Yang Mingzhi estimated that it must be the Imperial Division's group.
Yevlov hurried over and held Yang Mingzhi's shoulders: "You woke up in time. The Germans are coming, we will withdraw immediately."
"We're leaving like this? Where's the baggage? There's also the matter of the bridge."
"We don't need heavy weapons. Throw the supplies we can take away on the last truck. The bridge will be blown up in a moment."
The evacuation of the Soviet army was in an orderly manner. Yang Mingzhi let his wife sit on the carriage, and she packed a bunch of bullets. The soldiers retreated calmly, and the "sentinels" scattered around the city also evacuated toward the swamp. Suddenly the earth suddenly
It shook, and a violent explosion occurred.
Mozyri gradually went away, and a huge mushroom cloud rose there. Yang Mingzhi looked at it with many soldiers, and couldn't help but said to himself: "The bridge has been blown up, and now the Germans will have nothing to lose."
This was indeed the case. The commander of the Imperial Division was very angry because the bridge was blown up and the tank troops could not cross the river without taking a long detour. However, the goal of this Soviet army was obviously the swamp, where the mud was difficult for the tanks.
and armored vehicles are huge disasters.
As for the Romanian allies, the huge defeat was the most serious loss suffered by this army since the beginning of the war. A so-called motorized division lost half of it. The results of the Mozyr blockade cannot be measured solely by the number of enemies annihilated. The battle gave the Romanian army
With huge psychological trauma, they were forced to stay in place. This way, Kuznetsov had less to worry about retreating, and they would soon join forces with the troops who had evacuated first.
The army knew it was safe to enter the swamp, which was still under actual Soviet control.
