Natasha still shook her head: "Maybe my technical and tactical skills are very good, and luck is indeed the key to my survival to this day." Many veterans of the reconnaissance company died, and our group of more than 100 people was once surrounded by 2,000 people.
I was blocked and pursued. The makeup reconnaissance was almost discovered by the Germans. In the hail of bullets, my cotton coat was torn by bullets. If the bullet had been closer, I would have become a gray corpse."
"How is it possible? As a sniper hero, you won't encounter such danger, right? Snipers always shoot from long distances."
Natasha didn't want to listen to this, and she said in a serious tone: "This is just your feeling! Think about it from the enemy's perspective, what would you do if you discovered the enemy's sniper?"
"Probably just shoot randomly in that direction, maybe a certain bullet will hit!" Just after saying this, Kharkov suddenly realized.
"That's right! It was just a random sweep. The enemy went even crazier, and their machine gun firepower was very fierce. I changed into a cotton coat, and the damaged one was discarded. But the reason for the attack was not that I became the focus of the enemy's machine gunners.
The target is that I killed the enemy's assault gun and stopped the enemy's offensive. I was also almost hit by the enemy during the transfer."
Looking back on the scene at that time, Natasha still has fresh memories. It was really too dangerous at that time. The bullet was enough to knock out her own internal organs, and even the most beautiful girl would turn into a gray corpse!
"I'm really lucky!" Natasha changed her relaxed attitude at first, and Yang Mingzhi turned his head. This girl was serious all over. "It was the veteran Sasha who used his life to protect me and blocked me from the enemy.
The flying shrapnel was the sacrifice of Sasha and Satoshi, so I had the opportunity to pick up the RPG and destroy the enemy's assault gun. It was their fearless sacrifice that saved my life and the lives of all the soldiers in the reconnaissance company! Sasha was the original soldier of the 284th Division
Veteran, I didn’t even die in the battle in Minsk. I didn’t expect that you would sacrifice your life to protect me in this battle!” As she spoke, the girl’s big eyes were already soaked in tears, and she simply hugged her good sister and started crying.
Kharkov was speechless. The girl's cry easily aroused the man's protective desire, but she spoke so emotionally, and her cold words directly outlined the cruel picture of this battle.
In fact, she didn’t need to go into details, the large number of wounded and the piles of enemy corpses explained everything!
"One general will succeed and all the bones will wither!" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but said this in Chinese.
"Sir, what does this mean?" Natasha asked.
"I mean, a good general's victory in the war is based on the sacrifice of a large number of soldiers. Natasha, you are very lucky. Both you and Besica were shelled in Kuta Town and were only injured and bruised.
Qing, your lungs were only injured in the aerial bomb attack and you will recover first. The bullets in this battle just missed you! But many soldiers are not so lucky. They may have been farmers one day and became conscripts today. In the first charge,
He was killed by enemy bullets."
"Yes, sir! I understand what you mean." Natasha said, "No matter how many enemies I kill, I only have one life. Maybe I am very lucky. This superstitious thing is not worth boasting about at all."
"That's right. Kharkov!"
"Here we come!" The boy immediately stood at attention.
Yang Mingzhi became more energetic. Since there were no messengers to report any commotion, he decided to teach the young people in the youth camp a lesson.
Kharkiv ordered everyone to stand in line, and Yang Mingzhi also acted as an instructor with his hands behind his back.
"Comrades, I personally trained you a few months ago, and I was fascinated by your youthful enthusiasm. However, in the first battle, you did not obey the command and attacked without permission. I thought your skills and tactics were too poor and you were easily defeated by the enemy. The initiator was
Being executed by firing squad, I think you all gained a new understanding of war on that day.
But I see your eyes eager to fight. Soldiers are eager to fight, which is a good thing, but before that you still need to train. Many veterans died in this battle, can we say that their skills and tactics are poor? Facing the enemy outside Minsk
The torrent of steel, the roaring bombers, they were all safe and sound, but they closed their eyes during this battle.
Listen! No matter how experienced the veteran is, he can be easily killed by a bullet. The enemy is not a fool!"
Yang Mingzhi pointed to the place where the corpses of his enemies were. Those Wehrmacht soldiers who were energetic yesterday were now stiff and gray corpses. "What you see are hundreds of dead corpses, and there are still many scattered in the forest! They will not obey."
Let us be shot, but instead they are looking for opportunities to annihilate us! Now the enemy is dead, it is because we are smarter than them!
Natasha just mentioned luck. I think that only sufficient pre-war decision-making and firm execution are the key to victory. You must understand this! Strategies and tactics are formulated by the division headquarters, especially I, Berekov.
.And you soldiers must obey orders!"
These words reached Kharkiv's heart. He understood that this was what the deputy division commander meant from the bottom of his heart. It was really special to be reprimanded by him like this!
Biharkov also heard about the losses in this battle. It is said that 6,000 dog tags were collected and 1,700 casualties were suffered by his own troops. This made this young man who cared about the country couldn't help but think about it.
, if all Soviet troops can achieve such a record, what else does the enemy have to fear?! Maybe the red flag will be planted in Berlin in a few months.
Unfortunately, that is still a delusion. The 284th Guards Division is a unique unit. Kharkiv knows what his unit is creating, and he is proud of it.
From the sharp eyes of the children, Yang Mingzhi understood that they had completely listened to his words.
"Very good, I hope everyone will take this as a warning. You boys, don't see that Besica and Natasha have more than one medal on their chests. This is what they got by gambling with their lives. We will definitely fight in this war.
We will achieve final victory, but even I cannot guarantee that we will live safely until the day of victory. No one knows when death will come, so I hope everyone will be more careful. If there is military action in the future, please be mentally prepared.
The total casualties of this combat force accounted for one-fifth of our army's maximum strength. Your peaceful days are now over!"
Kharkiv's eyes suddenly shone: "Could it be that the commander has already intended to send us a military mission so that once there is a new battle, we can also attack the enemy?!"
"That's right! Including the girls in the youth camp, they will definitely be sent to the front lines to fight with guns in the future! Because our troops are still stretched thin!"
Looking at it from a higher level, in this battle that Yevlov calls the "Second Battle of Pripet", the 284th Guards Division is fighting with its maximum strength. A total of more than 8,000 troops have been invested.
Among them, more than 2,000 female soldiers have been invested. Women should not participate in wars. Unfortunately, the lack of soldiers has forced women to be armed.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi ordered the youth camp to be disbanded and everyone continued to perform their duties.
His eyes glanced not far away, where Yevlov was coordinating the troops. He saw the wounded being carried onto trucks first, and the captured ammunition was still piled on the grass.
"Talent is the foundation of everything, Yevlov, you are right!" Yang Mingzhi shrugged, and the troops would rest for a while before setting off as a whole. (To be continued.) 8
