The troops launched an operation on April 26, and launched an attack on the railway on the morning of the 27th and achieved a major victory. They attacked Andropovka village around noon and rescued the villagers. In the afternoon, they attacked the Red Flag Farm, causing heavy casualties to the German army.
On the 28th, the troops gradually arrived at the key mission target Leopovka.
In the early morning of the 29th, the troops launched a night attack and rescued a large number of prisoners of war. In the morning, the troops attacked Igretoskaya and rescued a large number of children, including a Chinese student.
On the morning of the 30th, the troops encountered the Black Bear Brigade and received important information.
On the morning of May 1st, the troops attacked Bainiu Village, and fierce battles broke out with the local defenders. After paying a certain price, the German troops were completely annihilated and a large number of prisoners of war were rescued. At noon, a battalion of puppet troops was completely annihilated.
On May 2, heavy rain poured down during the retreat.
On the afternoon of May 3, the troops arrived at the crossing of the Pripet River, and the battle was declared completely over.
Because of the collective memory of all officers participating in the battle, the details of the operation can be counted in detail.
Also present were newcomers like Peronsky and Medvedev.
The arrival of these two men forced Yang Mingzhi to think about the big issue of how to organize the rescued prisoners of war and the guerrilla fighters in the Black Bear Brigade.
The discussion and statistics on the details of the battle finally ended at eight o'clock in the evening. In fact, many details of the battle need to be discussed, and we can only talk about it a little bit due to time constraints.
Time has run out, and all resting troops will return to training tomorrow.
Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands: "Okay! Comrades, the meeting is over! Staff officers, please help bind all the record documents!"
Like Joshua, she stretched out as if she was relieved of a heavy burden. In this summary meeting, the anger she had suppressed was finally vented. The entire female battalion participated in the battle, but few female soldiers fired. The reason
Without him, the female barracks always fight as a reserve force. Those male soldiers are too capable, and the enemy's combat effectiveness is also terrible. The reality is that it is not the female soldiers' turn to take action!
Therefore, the female battalion was the only one among the four battalions that participated in the war that was not killed in action. The most seriously injured among them were a few girls with sprained feet.
The officers stood up one after another. Balzen wanted to go back to reorganize his reconnaissance camp. Reichev and Bondanov returned to the paratrooper brigade camp and reported the meeting to their brigade commander's political commissar. Joshua glanced slightly apologetically.
Glancing at her superiors, she apologized for the foul language in the meeting.
Yang Mingzhi didn't care about it. When everyone was about to leave the room, he greeted: "Peronisky, Medvedev, you two stay!"
The reason why these two people are specially asked to stay is because Yang Mingzhi has some special arrangements.
The two returned to their seats and listened to the commander's new order.
"You two, I will leave you here now. I have an arrangement that I need to listen to your opinions on."
The commander's humility made Peronisky a little flattered. He patted his chest and said that he would obey any order. Medvedev was more cautious. He and his people first came to Novgomel and were frightened by the sight in front of them.
He is satisfied that his people are well taken care of.
"Since both of you are willing to listen, I will say it! My attitude is that those rescued prisoners of war will be quickly reorganized into new teams. Regarding the arrangements for these people, I plan to set up two regiments. Who will serve as this
My plan is to be the commanders of the two regiments, you two."
The two were excited upon hearing this, and the most excited one was of course Peronisky.
He said excitedly: "Before this battle, the commander has ordered my locomotive brigade to form the first battalion of the independent battalion. Could it be that he is planning to let me be an independent regiment this time?"
"That's right!" Yang Mingzhi said decisively: "The number of prisoners of war rescued this time is more than 5,000. According to the normal organization, nine battalions can be organized. The organization of our Red Army is usually four battalions per infantry regiment. These people
, some of them will be placed in other troops, and the rest will be left to you two.
I plan, Comrade Peronsky, your army will be the First Regiment of the Independent Regiment. Comrade Medvedev, your army will be the Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment!
This matter is just an idea of mine for the time being, and I still need to seek your support!"
As soon as Yang Mingzhi finished speaking, Peronisky raised his right hand high: "I fully support it!"
"What about you, Comrade Medvedev?"
Originally, participating in this meeting made Peronisky a little nervous! In the months after the war broke out, the Black Bear Brigade never thought about returning to cooperate with the regular army, or even becoming a part of the regular army. The combat strength under his command was even greater.
There are all kinds of people, and many of them are middle-aged people who have far exceeded their enlistment years! Soldiers can call them uncle!
Now he fully understands the reality of this Soviet army. They are the kind of organized troops who are ordered to stay in enemy-occupied areas to fight guerrillas. They are not simply guerrillas formed spontaneously by the people. It is precisely because of this relationship.
, Medvedev, who had just arrived, felt a little inferior, and the sudden offer of an olive branch by the so-called commander of the army made him nervous.
"Hey! Medvedev, please answer my question! There is nothing to worry about joining, but it doesn't matter!"
To be honest, he did have some inner thoughts, so he said: "Okay! Comrade Commander! I thought at first that you would disband the Black Bear Brigade and add combatants to other units. Now you plan to let me lead more than two thousand people."
In terms of combat strength, I am really worried about my ability."
"So this is it? You shouldn't worry about this!" Yang Mingzhi encouraged: "In the past ten months, the Black Bear Brigade of more than a thousand people commanded by you has been fighting the enemy and surviving strongly. This is
It shows that you have some commanding talents. What we lack most at the moment is a troop commander!"
"If Comrade Commander means this, it seems that I can only accept this new position. I was a soldier more than 20 years ago, and I can still be a soldier 20 years later! It is an honor to serve the motherland!"
Having said that, the middle-aged man raised his right hand in a standard military salute.
Yang Mingzhi fully understood his attitude while returning the gift.
Medvedev put his hands down, but his words did not end. This veteran soldier who joined the army during the civil war cared about his people very much. Now that he was about to serve as a regiment commander, he had to think about the status of the rescued prisoners of war.
So, what is their current status? It can be said to be terrible!
"Comrade Commander, my people have traveled a long distance and many of them fell ill when they arrived here. Thanks to the great motherland for providing good medical care. Even so, many people's bodies cannot recover in a short time!
The situation of those who were rescued was even worse. They had been mistreated by the enemy for a long time, especially in terms of food, and they had less food than we did! If the soldiers of the second regiment of my independent regiment were weak, such a unit would be useless.
Combat power."
Since the troops arrived at the Pripet River, Yang Mingzhi has handed over various matters to his subordinates. He knows the situation of his soldiers very well, but where are those who were rescued?
Due to accommodation arrangements, some of them were placed in Catfish Village. Some of them, who were in good physical condition, also set off yesterday afternoon and headed to Blacksmith Village one after another.
Yang Mingzhi estimated that Yelentina and her political commissars had already carried out statistics and political review as soon as possible. After passing the review, they should continue to rest in their camp.
It takes a lot of time to train ordinary villagers into soldiers, and just shooting with a gun takes a lot of time.
Therefore, those who are rescued have great innate advantages. They do not need basic military training at all. As long as they recover their physical fitness, they will become qualified regular army soldiers. The only thing they have to do is to overcome the psychological grudge of "I was a prisoner of war".
Completely dismissed, and then re-prove his loyalty by participating in some battles.
Yang Mingzhi fully agreed with what Medvedev meant: "The difference between our 63rd Army and our brother troops is very big, not only because we are behind the enemy's rear, but also because of our fighting style. All soldiers must undergo rigorous physical training
, so that everyone can run a marathon! Weak soldiers need a lot of food to recover. Therefore, even if two independent regiments are established, your task will still be to train at the rear for a period of time! Unless there is an order from your superiors,
The entire army group participates in the operation, otherwise you two will not participate in the war!"
The two of them had no objection to this arrangement.
"If you two have no new questions, please go back. Tomorrow afternoon, you two will come to the headquarters again. We will hold an important meeting, and you must attend!"
