PS. Here’s today’s update. By the way, I’m going to vote for the “Qidian” 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and you’ll get Qidian coins for voting. I beg you all for your support and appreciation!
When the Soviet Union was first established, the guerrillas played a key role in the war between the Red Army and the White Army. In the subsequent multi-national armed intervention wars of the new red regime, the Red Army guerrillas were extremely active.
However, during the period of purges, many talented guerrilla captains who were very talented in the civil war were purged, so that at the beginning of the war, the Soviet military was not interested in guerrilla warfare until widespread defeats occurred.
Yang Mingzhi had the foresight that Belarus and Ukraine would be the main battlefields behind enemy lines in the next two years or so, and guerrilla warfare would have a certain impact on the entire war.
In the current Catfish Village, this group of soldiers do not know how to conduct guerrilla warfare.
Yang Mingzhi pointed out: "Our tactics for ambushing the Führer Regiment are very similar to guerrilla warfare. In the forests of Belarus, we have an advantage over the Germans."
Many people still remember that war. The Germans fought fiercely in the forest, and they suffered huge losses. Perhaps because those guys were die-hard SS soldiers, the Wehrmacht would not be so desperate to brave machine gun fire and charge with human flesh.
.
Yang Mingzhi simply pointed out the sixteen-character mantra. He asked for paper and pen. On the white paper, he wrote in Chinese characters: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
.
These are Chinese characters, and of course they don’t understand them.
Yang Mingzhi said mysteriously: "This is the guerrilla warfare method that we Chinese have summarized. Currently, on the other side of the world, my compatriots are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese. The Chinese people's weapons and equipment are very poor, and we cannot defeat the Japanese on the frontal battlefield."
, we had no choice but to launch extensive guerrilla warfare."
Yevlov nodded and pointed at the runes on the paper. "I don't understand the Chinese characters. Please explain them in Russian."
Yang Mingzhi smiled and immediately changed to Russian words. Now Yevlov understood it and felt it was exquisite.
"We retreat when the Germans come, attack when they are stationed, attack when they are tired, and pursue when they retreat." Yevlov said to himself, "The Germans are in the light, and the guerrillas can be in the dark. They
If they sleep at night, we will attack them at night. We can send snipers to hunt in the forest, and the prey will be the invaders."
This guy understood very quickly, and Yang Mingzhi not only clapped his hands. "Comrade division commander, this is what guerrilla warfare is. But in this mode of war, we may have to live a very difficult life and may lack sufficient supplies. Moreover, the enemy may take extreme measures
In retaliation, they will massacre peaceful residents."
"No! The massacre has already begun." Bobosky stood up. As the mayor of Catfish Village, he knew a lot of tragic things from the voices of the refugees after the war began. "Comrade Berekov, we are not afraid of death.
, one soldier fell, and more soldiers took up arms. If we were afraid of death, we would have left the village long ago."
Belarusians are very enthusiastic and very tolerant, and they are also extremely strong in their forbearance.
In this war, a quarter of the people in Belarus would die directly at the hands of the invaders. The Nazis' bloody reign of terror had the opposite effect, as they forced more people to the side of the guerrillas.
This group of old men made it clear that surrendering to the invaders would be a coward and would be a disservice to the compatriots who died.
Yang Mingzhi was very pleased. Since there was no one here who knew guerrilla warfare better than him, Yang Mingzhi was elected as the general staff officer.
At this meeting, the troops must be reorganized. Yevlov had already written a document. Everyone present circulated it. When they arrived at Yang Mingzhi's place, they saw Yevlov dividing the troops into parts.
Special Anti-Tank Battalion. This is the most elite unit in the team. The number has been reduced to only 300 troops, which will be replenished later.
Minsk Militia Battalion. This is the militia unit that was collected when the large army retreated, as well as the mobilization troops during the initial position war. Many of them have experienced the war and made a lot of sacrifices. These guys can fight, but their technical and tactical skills are quite poor.
.
Catfish Village Barracks. This is the armed force of Catfish Village. Including some young women, there are a hundred soldiers. They have almost no military training and are all temporarily armed villagers. They are full of enthusiasm, but it is easy to win in the first battle.
Killed in battle.
The 1st Infantry Regiment. This is a team composed of the remaining officers and soldiers of the 284th Division in addition to the anti-tank battalion. Its combat effectiveness is the second in the army. Mortar soldiers are also in this team.
Youth camp. This is a unit composed of all underage children who will be admitted. They can already afford weapons, and almost everyone has a blood feud with the invaders.
Yang Mingzhi had no big objections to this organization. The focus was on the last unit - the youth camp. He looked at Yevlov and couldn't help but ask: "I said we should all be soldiers, have you really organized these children?
As a front-line force, I’m still a little worried.”
"There's nothing wrong with that. This is what you want. Besides, the children themselves are very satisfied. Besides, your wife, Bessika, is only seventeen years old this year. Even though the war forced the children to become juvenile soldiers, in the
At this very moment we have no choice."
Yang Mingzhi still remembered several children. Natasha, who was pulled out of the cellar, must join the army. Her younger brother was still very young and was probably not a soldier.
As he thought this, Yevlov finally mentioned Natasha. "Do you know that girl in the cellar?"
"I know, I remember she took up arms."
Yevlov said meaningfully: "I found that the child has her own strengths. Her eyesight is very good. During yesterday's practice, I found that she has the qualifications to become a sniper."
Sniper? Yang Mingzhi admired this unit very much. He could shoot silently for hundreds of meters. In this war, especially in the future Battle of Stalingrad, snipers caused a lot of damage to the Germans. They caused
Terror made it difficult for the Germans to move forward.
"Now, does your arrangement for me mean anything?" Yevlov looked at Yang Mingzhi.
"No, let's make this arrangement for the time being. Besides, I think we still have to talk about things in life."
In guerrilla warfare, first of all, soldiers have to survive. Now that the discussion on army organization is over, all that remains is how to survive in the forests and swamps.
How to survive in the forest was a huge test for Belarusian guerrillas of all sizes, especially from the beginning of the war to the autumn of 1942, when many guerrilla units faced food shortages and ammunition shortages.
In order to survive, many guerrillas either go to farmers to get food or attack Germans. Many guerrillas behave like bandits. If local farmers do not provide food, they are regarded as "accomplices of the Nazis" and they will not
He shot without hesitation. This once caused the people in the occupied areas to feel helpless towards the guerrillas and fear the invaders. Many farmers died tragically.
So here in Catfish Village, as well as other villages in this swamp that choose to resist, everyone must be able to rely on their own efforts.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know how much food he had in reserve. He might be able to last for two months or more. He certainly couldn't sit back and rob the Germans. He shouldn't pay a unnecessary price.
Therefore, since Yang Mingzhi has been elected as a staff officer, his words are very important.
"We must be able to feed ourselves. At present, we have no hope of assistance from the rear. Now we must do it ourselves to store enough food for the winter. Houses are also being built quickly, and this place will become a large village."
This remark was echoed by the villagers. Žiński was very angry at the refugees who came from afar. They ate some livestock, almost turned the fields upside down, and dug up all the unripe potatoes.
"We still have more than 20 sheep, 10 cows, and more than 50 chickens. This is all our livestock. As for food, unless we replant potatoes now."
"Then hurry up!" Yang Mingzhi said excitedly. He was indeed too excited and became the focus of everyone.
Yevlov shook his head regretfully: "I am a soldier. Most of our soldiers have forgotten to farm. Do we have time now?"
"There is still time, we can plant some potato tubers, some cabbage or even carrots. Before winter comes, even if they are not completely mature, we can still have enough to eat," Boboski said.
"Yes, Comrade Yevlov, we must hurry up. Perhaps the authorities will know in the future that there are guerrillas like us in the wetlands here on the Pripet River. We cannot predict when they will assist us.
The military establishment has been reorganized, and what is left is for us to reclaim the land and cultivate it ourselves."
The meeting finally ended, and it lasted for more than three hours. Yang Tao had been waiting for her husband to come back, and she saw the soldiers building a house for their officers.
Wooden wood is a traditional Russian house with tree trunks stacked one on top of another, with moss and soil between the trunks. The advantage of this is that it keeps you warm in winter and very cool in summer. This will be your home in the future.
She was very grateful to these soldiers, and the soldiers were also grateful to her for saving lives and helping the wounded. The boiling water had already cooled down, so she had to entertain these "workers" first.
Yang Mingzhi talked a lot at the meeting and went back with a thirsty mouth. He saw that his wife had sharpened a lot of kitchen utensils and even had a rice shovel.
Yang Tao quickly handed over the kettle and watched her husband drink gurglingly. She couldn't help but ask: "Husband, what did you talk about in the meeting?"
"There are matters of war and life." Yang Mingzhi burped angrily, and the boiled lake water still had a muddy smell. "From now on, this will be our base, Xiaotao, we will carry out guerrilla warfare here. You yourself
He is also a Red Army soldier."
"Hmm, I think our dead comrades, the old squad leader and the others will be very happy. We two became the Soviet Red Army in the Soviet Union. If they are still alive, I will definitely show off."
It was the rainy season when she was seventeen years old, and girls at this age seemed to be very sentimental. Yang Mingzhi knelt down and stroked her back, but the girl simply threw herself into his arms and started crying.
"Okay, don't cry. We will definitely be able to return to the country. Then we will go back with a large force and cross Heilongjiang to drive away the Japanese."
Yang Tao cried for a while and felt relieved. Yang Mingzhi stood up and looked at her with red eyes. "Since we are going to fight back to the country, Xiao Tao, you also need to learn some real military knowledge. You can't mess around with gun sand in the future.
Shoot. I think I need to train you seriously."
"Me?" Yang Tao didn't quite understand what her husband was trying to do.
"Xiao Tao, the team has been reorganized. You are a health worker and are in a non-combat position, but you must train with your peers in the youth camp. This way you can protect yourself in a critical moment."
