In the history of Yang Mingzhi's original plane, the Guerrilla Republic was established on September 9, 1942, by a delegation sent by more than a dozen large guerrilla groups at a conference in the hinterland of the Pripet Swamp.
Naturally, the country received approval from Moscow at the first opportunity and was quickly accepted as a new union republic.
In this dimension, it was precisely because of Yang Mingzhi's existence and his persistence that the Guerrilla Republic was approved by Moscow on May 1, 1942.
Look at the current state of the guerrilla republic!
Her core control area exceeds 2,400 square kilometers. The broad control area starts from the confluence of the Pripet River and the Dnieper River in the south, to the Mozyr-Gomel Highway in the north, from the bank of the Dnieper River in the east, to the Dnieper River in the west.
Mozyr-Chenoby railway section.
Her capital is the so-called Novgomel, a city composed of three collective farms and shaded by a large amount of vegetation. Together with the large number of people saved by the fighting that ended on May 3, the total population exceeds 55,000
people!
The soldiers and civilians escaping from the Nazis had a hard time opening up a lot of farmland in the swamps, and the potato harvest season was just around the corner.
Other guerrilla groups are facing food shortages, and their methods usually involve requisitioning villagers or robbing German troops. The Guerrilla Republic will completely say goodbye to food shortages after the new potato harvest season.
Food is the source that maintains the combat effectiveness of soldiers, and is also the foundation that supports the stability and prosperity of a country.
The guerrilla republic was finally established, and a sense of accomplishment filled Yang Mingzhi's heart.
He asked: "Comrade Salinchkin, have you held a meeting about this matter? Do other comrades know about it?"
"The meeting has not started yet, and I have not concealed this news. The majority of residents know about the establishment of the guerrilla republic, and everyone is very supportive of it in terms of public opinion. I heard someone say that the establishment of the guerrilla republic itself proves that
The leader has not abandoned his people, and all those who continue to fight in enemy-occupied areas have a greater reason to fight."
Yang Mingzhi estimated that this was once again the result of the reports made by Salinchkin's political commissars.
He smiled and continued to ask: "Actually, I could have rested in Catfish Village until tomorrow morning. Today I left my wife there and came alone because I was very worried about a meeting! The battle is completely over, and we
The aftermath must be carried out immediately, the gains and losses of this battle must be summarized, casualties and comprehensive losses must be counted, and the next strategy must be considered!”
"Of course! There must be a meeting!" Salinchkin shook his finger and continued: "I must point out one thing here! Comrade Berekov, you are clearly planning to attack the railway and point the final finger at Mo
A railway station west of Jili. But the battle has reached this point, and it has completely exceeded the scale of a battle. I think this should be regarded as a battle!"
"Battle! This is very inappropriate!" Yang Mingzhi slapped his thigh and was surprised by this bald guy's statement of "making his face look fat."
"Isn't it possible? I personally gave it a name. Based on the fact that this battle is mainly in the west of Mozyri, it is called the West Mozyri Offensive Battle."
The Battle of West Mozyri? This name was too grand, which made Yang Mingzhi feel timid.
Salinchkin had his own explanation: "The scale of this battle is indeed small. After investigation, it was found that the enemy is the German 734th Infantry Division, with a total strength of only 11,000 people. Our total strength is the entire 63rd Army. It seems like this
It was a duel involving tens of thousands of people, and very few troops actually participated directly in the battle.
There is a situation that you don’t know at all. It’s not just us who are attacking the German traffic lines. All this is ordered by the guerrilla movement headquarters. Its purpose is very simple. At this time, it is to destroy the German traffic lines, especially the railway traffic.
! The superiors sent the notice on April 29th. They never expected that we would take the initiative to launch a large-scale operation on April 26th and have achieved great results!
You know that destroying 40 of the most advanced German tanks on the battlefield requires huge sacrifices, and they once thought I was exaggerating!"
Yang Mingzhi waved his hand: "The superiors have reason to believe that this is the purpose of the existence of Bielski who accompanied the army. His camera recorded our celebration scene. The enemy's tanks became our trophies. It is a pity that we
We don’t have the ability to bring them back, so we have to destroy them all!”
"Yes! Comrade Belsky came back yesterday, and he must be responsible for Yelentina! Now, the comrade's submission has been sent to the darkroom, and the photos will be developed tonight. Let's continue to talk about what we just said
The strategic intention of the superiors is to provide help for our army’s next operations by weakening the German army’s logistics.”
"Oh? Is it because of the chain reaction caused by our several attacks?" Yang Mingzhi asked immediately, his mind spinning rapidly. Because of Salinchkin's explanation, he completely understood why the large troops returned via the railway.
, there was no case of German trains appearing at all. It turned out that there were sporadic guerrillas who destroyed the railway lines!
To blow up a railway, only one anti-tank mine can achieve good results, but this kind of weapon is difficult to obtain for guerrillas.
Salinchkin denied it without hesitation. He felt that his oral explanation alone was incomplete, so he led Yang Mingzhi to the regional map spread out on a huge table in the big office.
He held a wooden stick and pointed at the map.
Yang Mingzhi noticed that this person was not referring to the swamp, but to its southeast direction! That was already Ukraine, and pointed all the way to the territory of Soviet Russia, until the Severodonesk River stopped.
"Comrade Berekov, look at where my baton is pointing! I think you know where this is!"
"Of course I know! The Air Force took off from here for the large-scale airdrop a month ago!"
Yang Mingzhi knows this place very well. The Southwest Front Army has assembled heavy troops here. Since the success of the Moscow Battle, it has led to a full-scale counterattack by the Soviet army with a front line of more than a thousand kilometers!
On the northern front, the Soviet army liberated Mozhaisk to the west of Moscow, and the counterattack troops approached Vitebsk and Smolensk. The Soviet army on the other side approached Bryansk. The Soviet army may be able to continue the offensive, but the German army
The troops were reduced on the Rzhev-Sechevka front line, causing the front to reach a stalemate for a time.
On the southern front, the Southwest Front Army led by Timoshenko achieved a breakthrough in Isyuum, thus forming an obvious protrusion on the map. There is a Barvinko River in the area, hence the name of the protrusion. This area is about 1 km from Hal
The important industrial city of Cove is very close, and a large part of the Soviet tanks were manufactured here. However, it eventually fell, which was a heavy blow to the Soviet military industry. Liberating this city would naturally have a very important impact on the Soviet Union.
Political and military significance!
Sarinchkin said meaningfully: "Comrade Berekov! Don't you think we have a great advantage now? If our troops attack Kharkov in a large scale from Barvinkovo, from Severodonesk and Belekov
Gorod's troops cooperated, and this important city was captured.
Berekov, I remember you have been claiming that there will be an important battle this month. I think your prediction will come true soon! You are such a genius!"
Salinchkin looked excited. He stood up straight and saw Yang Mingzhi holding his chin full of stubble and standing straight in thought.
"What? Is my analysis wrong?"
"Your analysis makes sense! Since our army launched a counterattack and pointed its finger at Kharkov, a big city like Kiev is a matter of course! Especially since the main force of our Southwest Front is not far from Kharkov
, it is really illogical not to attack here!
So the Germans must also know very well that we are going to attack here, and they will decisively strengthen their defenses!"
