The battle was over, and the biggest result discovered by the troops was these twenty heavy artillery shells. These shells contained a large amount of high explosives. Yang Mingzhi was a little greedy. It would be a good thing for the troops if they took away all the explosives.
He stroked these shells very boldly. They did not explode, but the shells themselves were burned to the touch.
While he was inspecting the situation, a company commander jogged over to report the situation.
"How's it going? What good things did you find in this convoy?"
"There are good things, such as four general-purpose machine guns, more than 200 rifles, and more than 20 functional submachine guns."
"So few? They shouldn't have so few people. I thought they would have at least four hundred rifles."
The first company commander regretfully explained that because the artillery fire was too fierce, many of the enemy's weapons, as well as the enemies themselves and even their helmets, were blown to pieces, and many K98 rifles had become fire sticks. "The weapons and ammunition that can be obtained are also
, we have collected everything we can. We have consumed a lot of ammunition in this battle, and there is no problem in using the German first aid."
Yang Mingzhi immediately asked: "Is this convoy transporting ammunition? Since they have heavy artillery shells, they must also have ordinary ammunition."
The first company commander denied it. It turned out that in addition to food, this convoy transported special ammunition, all of which were artillery shells. There were more shells for combat anti-aircraft guns, but there were no ordinary bullets at all.
It's a pity, it seems that not many benefits have been gained from this battle.
"Deputy Commander, we still got some flour and even canned meat from this battle." The first company commander had just deliberately let it slip, but now he was smiling.
It would also be good to get a lot of food. Yang Mingzhi saw a large number of canned products. These tin pimples were filled with pickled beef and some sauerkraut. The quantity was very large, and dozens of carriages were loaded with these.
There was still some flour that had not been burned, and the soldiers rushed to put it into the sacks they carried with them. Yang Mingzhi issued an order for all the soldiers to replenish supplies on the spot, and take away everything that could be used. Everything that could not be taken away was still there.
Here, it stands to reason that anything that cannot be taken away should be destroyed immediately. But thinking about those heavy artillery shells, the power of them detonating at the same time is too great, so I simply threw them here and ignored them. I also ordered the soldiers to carry away one or two shells and collect the explosives and launchers of the warheads.
gunpowder.
After a while, the second company commander Yevgeny also came to report the good news. His troops found three German soldiers who were pretending to be dead. They were beaten and kicked by Soviet soldiers and escorted to Yang Mingzhi.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi had retreated to the forest to rest, and the soldiers were smiling. They were very satisfied with the spoils of this battle. Most of them had replenished their bullets, food, and even daily necessities.
Yelentina shook the dust from her hair. She had just washed her face and was about to review and approve Kronikov. Now she and Berekov wanted to interrogate the German prisoners first.
These three unlucky guys had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces, and they knelt down in front of the Soviet commander.
"What is the purpose of your trip? Where do you want to send the goods?" Yelentina asked.
The three people looked at each other and each answered.
"Don't you understand? Let me ask you again, where is your destination? If you don't tell me, I will shoot you right now." As she spoke, Yelentina loaded her revolver and threatened.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know what the outcome of the Cheka girl's threat would be, but these three guys were really tough. At this time, one of the guys suddenly started to babble. Yelentina was obviously angry and shot the guy to death.
, Yang Mingzhi was shocked.
"Yelentina, how could you shoot this man randomly?"
"Me? This man is scolding us, and he is even threatening us."
Yelentina explained that it turned out that a German convoy arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon. The so-called German army would definitely retaliate when they discovered the situation, and no one could escape by then.
Yang Mingzhi thought about it. He had planned to do one thing and run away before the war. This retreat to the swamp could be regarded as completing Kilponos's mission.
"We have to give the Germans a bigger blow." Yelentina was still angry, and she pointed the gun at the other two people. People are afraid of death. The two German prisoners were so frightened that they peeed and started talking.
He muttered words of mercy.
Yang Mingzhi felt like he was holding Yelentina's gun: "Listen to them, maybe there is a reason for these people to tell the information."
Jelientina let go and the gun was taken away by Yang Mingzhi. She looked at the two prisoners with wide eyes. Now they were finally willing to cooperate. At the same time, Yang Mingzhi also decided to spare their lives.
Yelenkina relayed Yang Mingzhi's decision: "You two can live, we will tie you up and stay here on the battlefield, and your people will naturally come over in a few hours. The prerequisite is that you must tell us everything you know.
"
In this way, the prisoners revealed that their destination was the town of Luvanka in the east. At this time, it had become a transshipment base for the German frontline goods. A large amount of materials were accumulated there and used as a back warehouse for the front line. After all, a large amount of materials were placed there.
There was some danger in the occupied city of Lechica. Soviet guerrillas and the Soviet air force could blow up the warehouse too easily.
In order to survive, these two people explained everything they knew. They directly stated that all the residents in that small town were wiped out, leaving only those who were willing to cooperate. The entire town became a warehouse, and their security officers were responsible for escorting the goods.
Yang Mingzhi listened to Yelentina's translation, and he realized that there were fighter planes here. "If we blow up the warehouse in this small town, wouldn't we be directly supporting the Soviet front line?" Yang Mingzhi looked at Ye with bright eyes.
Lenina.
The Cheka girl shook her head: "Berekov, you are so crazy. Are you going to attack that town of Luvanka? That is a town. How can we attack them? Our troops are too few!"
The headquarters of the Security Division is in the town of Luwanka. This unit was organized into many escort units in battalion units. According to the prisoners, the German army stationed at least one regiment there.
Yang Mingzhi turned over the map and saw that the use value of those prisoners had been exhausted. Now there was one more choice before him, whether to attack the town of Luwanka.
Suddenly, he thought of a way, would it be possible to lure the snake out of its hole? As long as the enemy's large forces were lured out of the city, and elite troops were sent into the town to destroy the warehouse wantonly, the strategic intention would be completed.
But how to lure the enemy out? A plan came to mind.
Yelentina interrupted Yang Mingzhi's thoughts. "How about it? Do you have a plan to attack that town?"
"It's not impossible!"
Yang Mingzhi stood up and called the telegraph operator. "Send a message to Yevlov and say that the mission plan has changed and we are going east." At this moment, Yang Mingzhi had already made up his mind. He was
The deputy division commander is the commander of this force. The next target is Luvanka Town. As for how to fight, we will discuss this later.
Now there is one more thing to resolve. The trial of Kronikov, who attacked without authorization, has begun.
This man has recovered his thoughts. He is very afraid of death and is very dissatisfied.
The temporary military court was in the forest. For this man, he was basically sentenced to death, and even his grave was dug.
"Kronikov, you disobeyed orders, causing the battle plan to almost fail. I sentenced you to death according to the disciplinary regulations of the Red Army. Do you have anything to say now?" Yelentina asked forcefully.
Kronikov was silent for a while and said slowly: "My family members are all dead. I am cruel to the Germans, so I took the initiative to avenge my family. This is the purpose of joining the Red Army. I didn't expect that I would
The result is this.”
Yang Mingzhi had been holding back a lot of swear words. He walked up to the prisoner who was tied up and said coldly: "Kronikov, as a soldier, what are your responsibilities?"
"Yes... I am obeying orders."
"Yes, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Anyone who disobeys orders, even senior members of the front army, will be executed. So, what is the order I gave you? Stay where you are. If you are asked to charge, I will
Give the order directly. Why didn't you listen to your battalion commander's order? Now even your battalion commander will be punished. But what's the point? Not to mention the impact on the outcome of the battle, you killed fifteen of your comrades.
"
Kronikov was at a loss for words.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "Listen, the Red Army does not need soldiers who disobey orders. You are not a hero at all, you are an shameless bastard. Even if you are a child, since you have joined the army, you must abide by the regulations. Your death penalty
, very fair.”
Yang Mingzhi knew very well that he did not want this child to be shot in time. There were a large number of militiamen in the army, and these people must know the importance of discipline. And what about the large number of veterans? They retreated from the battlefield in Minsk to the swamps,
Being able to persevere until now is a combination of belief and discipline. It is of great significance to cut out the black sheep in the team.
In this way, the court sentenced Kronikov guilty. He was blindfolded and his hands were tied, standing in front of the pit. Ten people from the firing squad fired with guns, and Kronikov lay in the pit.
Yang Mingzhi felt a little depressed. The onlookers were not sad and did not applaud. He noticed that the onlooker's wife was a little sad. Yes, the one who was shot was still her comrade anyway.
Yang Mingzhi stroked his wife's shoulder. She was still carrying a sniper rifle. "Let's go, Xiaotao, there will be a new battle soon. You and Natasha performed very well in today's battle." Seeing that she was still hesitating, Yang
Mingzhi pulled him away.
"Husband, I...I'm fine. I just feel sorry for that person."
"Oh, remember that person. We still have to rush to a new battlefield. You have to take care of the seriously injured. I will leave a few people to accompany them back to the swamp. Otherwise, you can also retreat."
Hearing this, Yang Tao immediately stopped. "Husband! No, I can't leave you. There are new actions, how can I leave you?"
The girl's resolute look was very beautiful. Yang Mingzhi didn't care about his sloppy image covered in gunpowder. He subconsciously kissed the girl's forehead firmly. "Okay, we are husband and wife, and we must be together even if we die."
"You are not allowed to say death. As you said, we will bring our own troops. We will fight back to the country and drive away the Japanese devils! Before that, neither you nor I can die!"
Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly, who knows the future? The Soviet army will definitely win World War II. In fact, it is unknown whether they will survive until the German Reichstag is captured.
"Okay, okay, we will continue on our way soon. The new target is the town of Luvanka. We must find a way to destroy all the enemy's warehouses. With the addition of you and Natasha, our chances of winning will also increase."
