"Comrade Berekov, these are the comments made by the commander of the front army on you. What do you think?"
Yang Mingzhi glanced at Salinchin and spread his hands: "What else can I say? What he said is not wrong! Yes, I took more than two thousand people on the expedition, and I walked another two hundred kilometers along the way.
.What’s the result?! I won! We won a great victory! We saved nearly ten thousand people!”
"Yes! This kind of long-distance attack relying on two legs can only be completed by our troops!" In his words, Salinchkin completely regarded himself as a member of the 63rd Army. There is nothing wrong with his attitude. After all, the war is won.
, this man is very willing to work in Belarus, so Novgomel and the guerrilla republic are his foundation.
Salinchkin pointed his finger at Kharkov on the map: "I estimate that the superiors will call the future battle the Kharkov offensive campaign. If we win here, it will be equivalent to liberating northeastern Ukraine.
Look at this map, as long as Sumy is liberated and Chernikov is liberated, we will be across the river, and the dawn of victory is right in front of us!"
Yang Mingzhi saw that he was full of confidence, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Look at Yevlov who hasn't spoken for a long time. His expression is the same as Salinchkin's, full of hope for the future.
Sometimes, knowing that the future is not a good thing, Yang Mingzhi praised it theatrically: "It's great! As long as we win this counterattack, it will be a huge benefit to the Great Patriotic War of the entire Soviet motherland! Capture Kharkov and liberate
Kiev, the liberation of Belarus is just around the corner!”
Yevlov often said: "Of course! If we pursue the victory, the war may be able to drive the German army out of the country this year. By next year, we can counterattack to Berlin in one go!"
An optimistic atmosphere permeated the headquarters, and the high-pitched talks of several men were heard by many staff officers, even Sorkina, who continued to study in the telegraph room, and so on.
Salinchkin pinched his waist and sighed slightly: "We still can't take it too lightly. The commander of the front army has revealed that he does have a plan to ask our 63rd Army to take action when the troops attack in full, such as attacking the German logistics.
.
As a result, we did this in advance, and he was very supportive of the attack on the railway. But he did not support your desperate spirit of going into battle personally!
After all, you are a group army commander, and you should always remember your responsibilities! You should put aside the behavior of leading by example as a battalion commander! Now, the leader ordered the grassroots political commissars of each unit not to take the lead in the charge.
What is the reason? We cannot bear the reality that a large number of outstanding officers and political commissars are killed in action!"
Yang Mingzhi stuck out his tongue: "Okay! This is the commander's request, how can I violate it! I think I need to talk to him personally and admit my mistake."
"This is just a suggestion for you. With your temperament, you will definitely not be happy if you stick to this headquarters! You should try your best to do your job!" Salinchkin glanced at Yevlov and said: "
These days, Comrade Yevlov and Comrade Fomin are in charge of the army, and I am assisting them.
Now that the battle is over, I can feel a little more relaxed. Comrade Berekov, as the commander of the group army, you have the obligation to write down the entire process of this battle. As the commander-in-chief of the army, it is even more necessary for you to hold a summary meeting of the battle.
It is also necessary for me to hold some meetings. After all, you brought back more than 8,000 people in one go, and many policies here in Novgomel need to be adjusted."
"Yes! So when I was in Catfish Village, I took advantage of my good memory and wrote some documents unexpectedly. Would you like to take a look?"
"Of course! Of course!"
Salinchkin couldn't wait to know what the expeditionary force had experienced in the past nine days. Yang Mingzhi opened the buckle of his briefcase and handed over several pieces of dark yellow document paper.
Salinchkin was looking forward to seeing what happened, but after taking over and taking a quick glance, his whole body collapsed.
"Comrade Berekov, are you kidding? You wrote it in Chinese. What do these hieroglyphs mean? How do I know what you wrote?"
After he said this, Yang Mingzhi realized that something had happened.
"Ouch! Oops! I was just trying to save trouble yesterday. This document is just a draft! Don't be nervous! Comrade Salinchkin, I will seize the time to write the document today!"
"It's better that you don't have to do it yourself!" Salinchkin shook his head, "You are already too tired. The whole journey of more than 200 kilometers, marching and fighting at the same time, only took seven days! The matter of documents,
You might as well just dictate it and let the staff record it for you.
Maybe we should also recruit all the officers who participated in the battle. Everyone should explain the details of their battle and write a very detailed document. This is very important in military meetings!
If you can prepare the materials early, I think we will have a formal meeting tomorrow afternoon! At that time, we will also need to discuss the problems we are currently encountering."
"Really? Are you really in such a hurry?" Yang Mingzhi had to ask carefully.
"Do we still have extra time? As the commander of the group army, you must implement the orders of the front army headquarters, and our front army commander can receive his combat orders at any time!"
"In that case, let's hurry up!"
Today, after I came back, I had a long talk with Salinchkin. It can be said that this was a meeting.
At this meeting, Yang Mingzhi understood one thing: the Kharkov offensive battle that was going to happen in history, that is, the second Kharkov battle, must happen this month.
In the past month, the whole of Novgomel. No, it is now called the Guerrilla Republic.
The entire guerrilla republic is engaged in intense mass production, mass production of military supplies, and all combatants are undergoing high-intensity training, even consuming a lot of bullets for training. A large number of militiamen have been deployed into regular troops. How effective these soldiers are in combat is also unknown.
It can only be tested in actual combat.
What is the final combat effectiveness of the 63rd Group Army? The soldiers and civilians will be more optimistic after experiencing this battle. Pride and complacency seem to be spreading, and they basically lack awareness of the current situation of the army.
The number of bullets is limited, and a considerable part of them are reloaded bullets. The number of artillery shells has exceeded 20,000, and these shells can be consumed quickly if a war breaks out. The most critical thing is, how much steel is available? Once the metal materials are exhausted,
The combat effectiveness will definitely drop significantly!
This operation, which Salinchkin called the "Simozir Offensive Campaign", ended. The battalion commanders who participated in the operation, including Joshua who did not fire a single shot, gathered at the headquarters. People's faces
The face was filled with the joy of victory. Although Yang Mingzhi was worried about the future, at this moment he knew that he needed to put on a good posture!
After returning to the Blacksmith Village, Yang Mingzhi had to get busy. Starting in the afternoon, the study of the battle process began.
