Yang Mingzhi looked at the two girls intently. Needless to say, Yang Tao looked tired, while Natasha was in a better situation. They stood at attention in front of him, looking like they were waiting for orders.
Indeed, what was waiting for them was an order. "Now I will separate you from the youth camp. Bessika, you are the observer, Natasha, you are the shooter. The two of you are a sniper team, and you will be subject to my
Direct command."
Yang Tao nodded. "Husband, I will listen to you."
"No, we are in a war zone. You have to call me sir." Yang Mingzhi didn't talk nonsense to his smiling wife. He looked at Natasha and asked, "What do you think of my decision?"
"Yes, sir!" Natasha knew that soldiers must obey orders, but in this way, she was directly on the front line of the battle. The girl couldn't help but wonder: "Sir, is this my first battle, I have to fight with regular
soldiers to fight together?”
"Yes. Are you scared?"
"No, absolutely not." Natasha waved her hands quickly, "Since I can destroy the enemy, I will do my own thing."
Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied and couldn't help but pat the girl's weak shoulder. "Very good, Bessika, Natasha, after the war starts, you lie down next to me. Wherever I point, you will shoot."
Snipers, these special operations soldiers can often inflict a huge psychological shock on the enemy. Especially the snipers hiding in the woods, the elusive bullets can suppress the entire marching company.
But Yang Mingzhi's plan is another one - to hunt down officers. No matter how high-quality the German soldiers are, without officers, they may become a rabble. Maybe the German troops attacking at the front are of high quality, but in the rear, the German troops are second-rate and third-rate.
The combat effectiveness of the troops must not be high.
While the troops were resting before nightfall, a scout in the distance reported that a German transport convoy was traveling on the road.
Yang Mingzhi immediately became nervous. His troops were completely unprepared for battle. To make matters worse, many soldiers had unloaded their heavy backpacks and were nibbling on the bread they carried with them. It was simply a luxury to hope that they would go into battle immediately.
"Everyone be quiet! Enemies are coming!" Yang Mingzhi greeted the people around him, while the messengers ran throughout the resting place to deliver the commander's orders.
A German transport team is coming. Are they the target of the attack? The commander ordered everyone to stay calm. Anyone who makes abnormal noise will be dealt with according to the military law afterwards.
Yang Mingzhi set an example. Junior officers and soldiers lay down in the forest one by one. The bushes provided good cover. Yang Mingzhi held up his binoculars and carefully looked at the road. The road through the forest was winding.
, he paid close attention to a corner.
"We are five hundred and sixty meters away. I want to see what the enemy is like." He said to himself, holding a piece of thatch in his mouth.
Beside them, Star Tao and Natasha had already picked up weapons. They obeyed their commander's orders and were ready to shoot accurately at any time.
Just in case, machine gunners and mortar operators set up temporary positions, and their reaction speed was still very fast. If they encountered the enemy, they could still produce great results by opening fire immediately.
At this moment, the scouts wearing huge thatched hats were also quiet. They turned off the radio and quietly observed the German transport team. Soon, the enemy emerged from the corner, and Yang Mingzhi saw it. It was a mule and horse transport team.
Team.
"The German army really is still using horse-drawn carriages to pull supplies, as the history books say." Yang Mingzhi thought, this time he would see how many people there were in this German army, so as to estimate future ambush battles.
At this moment, the Germans were completely unaware that there were thousands of enemies ambushing in the forest not far away. They were driving carriages in a swaggering manner, with a large number of ammunition boxes on them. The ammunition consumption on the front line was very large, and the train transportation was even more hampered.
Due to the harassment and destruction by Soviet guerrillas, the German army had to order a large number of horse-drawn carriages to participate in transportation.
Yang Mingzhi estimated that the strength of this escort team was more than a battalion, with more than 500 people escorting 20 carriages, each carrying a large amount of supplies. Look at those wooden boxes, they should be ammunition. There are also bags
sacks, which may be flour. After all, the staple food of German soldiers is baked bread.
The ranks of German soldiers were well-organized. Their main weapons were rifles, but the entire group only had four machine guns.
While he was watching closely, Yelentina crawled over. "You just let them go like this?"
Yang Mingzhi turned his head, with unwillingness written all over his face.
"Just think that I let them go on purpose. If we take action now, we will probably pay a huge price. When we are ready, we will add more traps to this battlefield. It will be a good time to attack the new batch of transport convoys."
It sounds reasonable, and the German army is getting further and further away. Yelentina knelt down half-kneeling in anger, "Berekov, don't let me down."
"Of course, how could I disappoint the comrades of the NKVD?" Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and laughed. The next second, his eyes darkened, "Now we should also make combat deployments."
The Germans had left, and they definitely would not march at night (the roads in the forest were very rough, and there were not many German trucks).
The officers gathered urgently and Yang Mingzhi issued a combat mission.
"First company commander, second company commander, you two companies go to the opposite side of the road and establish a blocking position. The machine gunners occupy the commanding heights."
"Yes!" they both said in unison.
"The mortar troops followed our third company and set up artillery positions behind our company."
"Yes, sir."
"Where is the Grenadier representative?!" Yang Mingzhi asked.
"it's here."
"Okay, you take the grenades and all of them are disguised. You must cover your body with thatch and lie in ambush in the grass. You will be given 60% of the grenades of the entire army. Once the war starts, they must be thrown out within two minutes.
!"
In this way, the order of the regular troops is transmitted.
"Okay, everyone, let's act quickly!" Yang Mingzhi patted Yevgeny on the shoulder, "The secret weapon you have mastered, let's see the actual combat effect this time. Give me a good performance!"
Yevgeny performed the standard military salute and hunched over to his troop station in the next second.
"What about us? Sir! Is this what our militia should do?"
Yang Mingzhi looked at this man. He was Ninelli. It was this man who led the way when he entered the swamp.
"You militiamen are participating in the battle for the first time, so you serve as a strategic reserve. When our main force is under pressure, you participate in the battle. Both male and female soldiers participate in the battle. All young soldiers also serve as a reserve."
Yang Mingzhi knew that if this group of militiamen, who had almost no tactical training and only target shooting training, were treated as regular troops, they would suffer heavy casualties after the battle. Because they were mobilization soldiers, their quality in all aspects was a mess.
It is useless for those female soldiers to do target shooting on weekdays, because only a few people with strong hearts can remain calm in the hail of bullets, like soulless war machines, firing steadily.
The sun began to set, and more than fifty people gathered on both sides of the road with engineering shovels.
According to Yang Mingzhi's plan, a pit will be dug every ten meters on both sides of the cement road. The plan is to dig twenty. Cluster grenades will be buried in the pit, and there will also be some bottles used to use gasoline. This is Yang Mingzhi's plan.
"Man-operated landmine", the hemp rope is connected to the fuse of the grenade, and the rope is more than 30 meters.
Machine gunners also quickly set up positions, especially at both ends of the entire ambush, where there were more machine gunners. Yang Mingzhi's troops were equipped with many semi-automatic rifles, and submachine guns were also widely used.
This battle must be fought quickly. A large amount of firepower must be invested in a very short period of time, and the ammunition consumption will be very huge. But as long as good results are obtained, knocking out a battalion of German baggage troops and looting their goods, this pair
The Germans must be dealt a heavy blow.
Night came quietly, and the troops implemented a blackout. The hooting of owls, the rustle of leaves in the breeze, and the strange dripping sound. The troops carried enough radios on their backs, and the scouts set up a post one kilometer away from the ambush, half a mile away.
Report the situation every hour. At the same time, here at the ambush position, most of the soldiers are sleeping in the position.
On the one hand, the radio soldiers received intelligence from the scouts, and on the other hand, they sent reports to the swamp. In order to facilitate the transmission of information, a signal relay unit and a platoon of soldiers escorted a radio operator to stand guard outside the swamp.
This night seemed to be very safe. Yang Mingzhi slept with his arms on his pillow. He used a pile of leaves as a bed and fell asleep wrapped in a blanket. Before that, his wife and Natasha actually slept in each other's arms.
"Xiao Tao, you and your comrades are like sisters. You are the older sister and you have to have your own responsibilities." Yang Mingzhi thought silently. It would not be a bad idea if his wife also became a sniper. Of course, these two people must be on their own
Under direct control, sniper orders must be issued by yourself.
