Chapter 919 The mission of the reconnaissance battalion
The enemies and traitors were all hanged, and the troops fully implemented the order to leave no enemy alive. The question now is what to do next.
Yang Mingzhi faces a choice!
He knew that he could not lead the people to fight. If he allocated troops to escort the villagers back, the combat effectiveness of the troops would decline.
Since the nearest German troops are not far from here, they should have taken measures.
This is the job of the medical staff accompanying the army. They have instinctively begun to rescue these injured. Even if they are cold-blooded, they can't leave these people behind. Yang Mingzhi knows that it is impossible!
He ordered all the officers, as well as the old man who stepped forward, to hold an emergency meeting.
"Now that the situation has completely changed, we must properly solve three problems. First, we must send back the villagers, including the injured as much as possible. Second, we must remove the enemy camp in front of us and remove the enemy and
After all the traitors are eliminated, it is best to rescue the woman who was kidnapped by them. Third, our large force must continue to move towards the goal."
The old man Andropov was always confused. Taking this opportunity, he quickly asked: "Who are you? Are you a large army? Have our troops already come? You want to take us away, we want to
Return to where?”
Yang Mingzhi scratched his head. He didn't talk nonsense to the old man and appointed him as the new village chief.
"Joshua, you arrange a platoon to escort all the villagers back, and have your people arm these villagers as much as possible. You make arrangements now!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Joshua then pulled up the puzzling old man, and all his questions would be answered by a group of female soldiers.
There are still more than 90 people in this village who were not injured, and only ten injured people are still alive.
Any troops or wounded soldiers will seriously hinder their march and combat. Yang Mingzhi now has to face the same problem. These villagers will quickly pack up their belongings and leave this miserable village. For them, the man who has been staring at them
The German army will be wiped out, and no one will kill the fleeing villagers.
The matter of the villagers can be solved so easily. As for whether they can reach Novgomel safely, it is irrelevant.
Yang Mingzhi continued to order: "Barzen, you lead your battalion to kill the enemy's camp. I and others will continue to move towards the goal."
Balzen agreed immediately, but two seconds later, he asked a very embarrassing question: "Sir, are we going to fight the Germans openly? We don't know anything about the enemy's situation!"
"Then find a guide!"
The Soviet army had no shortage of guides. Yang Mingzhi said casually, and three women came forward and promised to lead the way. The women all had one thing in common, that is, they had all been raped by the German soldiers, so they knew their camps very well. They had all given birth.
The woman who has a child, her husband joined the army a year ago and there has been no news yet.
Therefore, their psychological quality is good enough. Even if they are raped, they secretly hold back revenge. Some even plan to die with a German during their next "service". Now the opportunity for revenge is right in front of them, and even death is worth it.
.
So fully in line with Balzen's wishes, he chose a plump enough woman to serve as his guide.
It was almost twelve o'clock at noon. To sum up the battle in the morning, no one in the army was killed, and only two suffered gunshot wounds. Fortunately, they were only minor injuries. There were many soldiers with sprained feet, and they recovered after resting for a while.
Yang Mingzhi did not think it was a miracle to achieve such a great victory with such low losses. The victory was based on the proper organization of the troops, advanced weapons, and the lax defense of the German army.
But the nearest enemies, there may be three hundred of them! They must be ready for battle, and I am afraid they are already rushing towards the direction where the gunshots came from.
Joshua's men had already begun escorting the villagers to run away, while Balzen's men dropped skirmishers along both sides of the dirt road heading east, and attacked under the leadership of the female guide.
Looking at the dexterous figures of the soldiers disappearing into the forest, and then looking at the village that was already in a mess, Yang Mingzhi sighed.
"Alas! It's time for us to take action! All of us, follow the dirt road to the north and move forward in column! Rychev, arrange a company as a reconnaissance company!"
The soldiers' stomachs were growling and time was running out. They were forced to eat and drink during the march.
Yang Mingzhi had no time to worry about Balzen for the time being. He knew that his loyal comrade would easily defeat the enemy, and then quickly meet up with the large army at the predetermined location. The battle was really about to begin!
…
On the other hand, Balzen is heading in the right direction. He gives a guide peasant woman named Maria a pistol and briefly teaches how to operate it.
This woman cherished this opportunity for revenge. He pointed forward and said extremely calmly: "There are about two kilometers left, and we will be there! That's the Red Flag Farm."
After all, Belarus' land of 200,000 square kilometers barely had a population of 8 million at the end of the peace era. The huge area and small population made the distribution of villages very scattered, and the population of each village was also very limited. The authorities classified many small villages as
A collective farm, at this location is the "Red Flag Farm".
Unfortunately, the large village at the core of this farm has become a German garrison. All the local villagers have been driven away or have been killed, and the houses left behind have become the residence of the German troops.
All symbols related to the sickle, hammer and red star were smoothed away and replaced by Nazi symbols and a raised German flag.
The German troops stationed here received an emergency order, that is, a killing order! More than a hundred people in the five villages under the Red Star Farm had already gone out to perform tasks. There were also three platoons of German troops and two companies of puppet troops stationed. When they heard the gunfire
They gathered urgently.
Extremely fierce gunfire came from the village of Andropovka. Perhaps the troops were attacked by guerrillas.
At present, any German soldier who eliminates a real guerrilla will receive a generous reward. Considering the possibility that his subordinates will be outnumbered and the idea of claiming credit for annihilating the guerrillas, the German company commander immediately ordered a platoon of German soldiers and a company of puppets to
The army, totaling one hundred and fifty men, advanced towards the village.
The German army was well aware of the fact that the guerrillas were good at cold-blooded harassment. Therefore, the soldiers on motorcycles at the head of the group did not dare to rush as fast as possible. They had to cooperate with the large troops marching in a hurry.
Out of contempt for the poor equipment of the guerrillas and the urgency of reinforcements, they decisively ran in two columns without even deploying advance soldiers.
They can reach their target by running along a dirt road of three kilometers. They travel lightly and can arrive in as little as fifteen minutes! It should have been time to eat, but the battle broke out unexpectedly. Even if the Germans and puppet troops complained, they could not do anything. They would not be angry with their superiors.
Spread it all on the guerrillas.
This group of people running wildly was first noticed by several of the top soldiers sent by Balzen. These soldiers immediately chose to hide, and after confirming that more than a hundred German troops (the puppet troops also wore Type 36 military uniforms) were advancing at full speed along the road, they quickly returned to report.
Upon hearing this information, Balzen realized that the enemy was close at hand.
If it were him in the past, he would not hesitate to order the troops to ambush on the spot and fight a beautiful battle of annihilation. But after the battle at the end of March, he checked and wrote a lot, and he also learned some combat experience in the process of summarizing his mistakes.
.
He urgently issued an order to the company commanders: "Our goal is to destroy the enemy's hometown, not to kill this small group of enemies! One company, two companies, and three companies, we form a large force and let this enemy go to attack the enemy's barracks. The fourth company
, you return to Andropovka the way you came, I guess the enemy is there for reinforcements. Get there quickly and ambush, but don't fight right away. When our general attack starts and the enemy returns to the rescue, beat their butts!"
