Chapter 950: Joining forces with the reconnaissance battalion
In fact, Balzen's reconnaissance battalion set out at four in the morning. Since Yang Mingzhi sent the signal, they have traveled more than 20 kilometers.
In daily training, the training of scouts is the most rigorous. They not only have to undergo rigorous endurance training and resistance training, but also learn military boxing and cold weapon fighting. Therefore, the overall quality of these people can be said to be the best in the army.
of!
Their physical fitness is extremely high, their skills and tactics are excellent, and they claim to be several times stronger than the paratroopers. To be worthy of their arrogance, the scouts must make real achievements.
During the march, the reconnaissance battalion received the order "Catfish".
"Damn it! We have gone too far!" Balzen decisively ordered the troops to stop temporarily. "Leobersov, come here!"
A soldier named Leobosov was a member of the Komsomol who had infiltrated a few months ago and was very good at mathematics. He had gone through a series of training and was qualified to become a scout.
However, his greatest value is not to fight bravely to kill the enemy, but to look at the map and marked location. It can be said that the existence of this man makes up for the biggest shortcoming of the semi-literate Balzen.
Along the way, the troops estimated their marching course. These rough data were handed over to Leobosov. He quickly drew pictures on the map with a ruler and compass, and finally determined the next marching direction and the expected journey.
.
"Good job! Young man, when I get back, I will apply to the commander to give you a bottle of wine!" Balzen smiled and patted the young man's shoulder, then turned to all the soldiers who were squatting and resting: "Brother
Guys, the army commander ordered us to join them immediately. It seems that this battle to attack Bainiu Village will not be easy. Brothers, are you afraid?"
"Come with me! Smash the heads of the Nazis!" A young and vigorous soldier stood up with his fist raised high.
Then, everyone stood up one after another and cheered collectively.
"Okay! Brothers! We are Comrade Berekov's sharp knives. Now, the sharp knives should return to his master's hands and kill the white cow! Everyone, follow me!"
Yang Mingzhi received Balzen's reply ten minutes after the message was sent out.
Unexpectedly, they had already walked about thirty kilometers south, and they arrived at the outer edge of the target before 11 a.m. at the earliest. This kind of mobility is gratifying, and they will not be very tired, given the current situation.
, they may be able to win with one battalion against the enemy's two battalions, but the cost will be very high.
They corrected their direction and were heading towards the current camp of the large army.
Yang Mingzhi quickly issued an order: "The entire army will rest in place and wait for the reconnaissance battalion to join forces."
…
In order to make peace as soon as possible, the two armies sent out many scouts, and two huge search nets appeared in the forest.
The mathematical calculations were all correct, the scouts discovered each other, and the two armies met at 12:30 noon.
Balzen was full of desire for battle. He dragged his excited body and quickly reported to the headquarters. Then, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
"Commander! Here! There are many civilians here!"
Yang Mingzhi patted the trembling face: "This is a guerrilla group, called the Black Bear Brigade. Come! Let me introduce to you, this is their captain Medvedev..."
Now that Balzen has arrived, the combat meeting for Bainiu Village begins immediately.
All the battalion commanders were anxious, Paul, who was in charge of the rescued Peronsky, and Medvedev.
A group of people gathered together and squatted on the ground, pointing at the open map.
"Comrades, please pay attention. Our new friend Medvedev explained the strength of the enemy in Bainiu Village! It has to be said that this will be the most powerful enemy we have encountered in this operation. They are an infantry battalion and
A puppet military camp has a total strength of about a thousand people. I think their individual equipment is very average, and they don't have many machine guns. However, they have heavy weapons! They have at least two tanks and multiple half-tracks.
Armored vehicles, we have encountered a tough nut. Now everyone can express their opinions!"
Upon hearing this, Balzen looked disdainful. He said doubtfully: "Commander, we only became famous by annihilating a German tank regiment. At this time, the commander is afraid of their tanks?"
"Afraid? How is that possible!" Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and smiled: "We are not what we used to be. More than half of the large number of RPGs we brought on this trip have not been used. What's more, our army also has anti-tank weapons. The Nazi armored vehicles are meaningless.
"
"That's it, why should we be afraid?!" Balzen said seriously: "Since the commander has asked us to express our opinions, I will speak out without shame. In yesterday's battle, I fired up all the rocket launchers. That Orichino
Wo was blown up, but I was unscathed. My battalion has a strong fighting capacity and abundant troops. It has always been good at fighting hard battles. If you ask me, if my battalion makes a mad attack, it doesn't matter if the enemy has a thousand people. They have no idea.
That’s a thousand pigs!”
"Okay! I'm very pleased that you have such confidence, but have you forgotten a whole month ago?"
Yang Mingzhi doesn't want to expose his scars, and it won't matter if he doesn't expose them now. This Balzen can be called a war madman. He has some tricks, and when he boasts that he has great advantages, his IQ plummets, just like a normal old man's way of solving problems.
——The big stick hit him directly.
"Barzen, in fact, even if you don't come, the enemy will be defeated if I lead the paratroopers to attack. Unfortunately, such a result will inevitably come at a huge price. I don't expect that there will be no sacrifices in this operation, even if there are sacrifices
, I also hope that the Red Army soldiers will die as few people as possible. So, I must wait for you!"
After this discussion, Balzen understood a little bit what the commander meant. It seemed that the commander was still going to use the same tactics as before. That is, he would first send people to investigate, and then determine a detailed combat plan. When the battle started, the troops would attack from multiple directions.
, and finally annihilated the enemy.
This tactic has been tried and tested repeatedly, but it also has its drawbacks, that is, it takes a certain amount of time.
Balzen slightly reminded; "Comrade Commander! I have to tell you that on our march, we encountered many German patrols. To be honest, they usually only consisted of a dozen people in a group. It was like pinching to eliminate them.
Dead ants. In order to avoid being exposed, we did not make contact with them. However, the more we marched, the more search teams we encountered. It seems that it was because of our army’s series of attacks that all the enemies in this area were awakened!"
"Maybe that's the reason!" Medvedev raised his hand. This man has been annoyed that the enemy destroyed the permanent camp that his people had worked so hard to build. He was very helpless when the enemy suddenly broke into him. Now he suddenly realized. "Maybe it was your destruction.
This behavior has awakened the enemy. They are searching everywhere, and my people have been targeted. They must still be looking for us in the forest. Now that I have been assigned to your leadership, you have the obligation to ensure the safety of more than 800 civilians,"
"Yes! I know!" Yang Mingzhi said loudly to him.
The scene was a bit awkward, and everyone noticed that the commander seemed angry.
In fact, Yang Mingzhi is now facing a lot of pressure. The rescued prisoners of war can theoretically be used as soldiers, as long as they have weapons. Unfortunately, how can there be so many weapons now? At least two thousand people have been looking for them in the woods.
Some wooden sticks with one end sharpened to a sharp point. These sticks are not weapons, they are purely used as crutches.
Including all the armed personnel of the Black Bear Brigade, the current combat strength totals nearly 3,000 people, of which the most effective ones are only 1,800, but the number of people on the left and right has reached 7,000! What kind of concept is this? Nov.
Gomel's current population is 43,000, and the total number of people it controls now reaches 7,000, which is one-sixth of Novgomel's!
It is impossible for the army to move with a large number of non-combatants to attack Bainiu Village. Only a small number of people are destined to participate.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi knew that he had to take a risk.
