Chapter 200: The Greatest Expedition
This battle required a large number of troops to contain the German 715th Division and attract their main forces to move closer to Homnitsch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info about the disposition of the strength of this division, the prisoner Henschel explained.
After all, this is a security division, because of the needs of the war, a considerable number of its heavy weapons are coordinated by the front-line troops. The artillery left for the division was only 20% of the standard state, the soldiers were all light infantry, and there was not a single tank. The division as a whole had fewer trucks and half-track armored vehicles, so its combat effectiveness was doomed to be low.
After harassing Homnich, Yang Mingzhi concluded that the combat effectiveness of this unit was indeed not good, so they were not sent to the Moscow front, but only rushed from China to take over the task of the original 707th Division.
Yang Mingzhi was thinking about the strategy of marching in her own home, and the star fruit knew that there was going to be a large-scale military operation again, and when she thought of this, her heart was mixed.
At night, Yang Mingzhi was still fighting at night, and the map was spread out on the table to deduce the route of the march.
Star fruit is poured with hot water and offered. "Brother! Drink a little, it's cold at night. ”
"Okay." Yang Mingzhi took a sip of Meimei, this is really an almighty hot water, and said casually: "Xiao Tao, there will be a new battle soon, and you have to participate in it too." This time it's to be a fighter. ”
"Ahh You're willing to let me fight. I've always been prepared, can I fight alongside Natasha this time? Star fruit's emotions were immediately mobilized.
"Look at your excitement. Let me tell you first, this operation is very large, and you don't want us to defeat the enemy easily. It can be tough, and you and I have to sleep outdoors in the snow. The fight is likely to be very intense, and as you and I have been through, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"Of course!" Star fruit immediately straightened. "Now that I am a member of the Communist Youth League, I have to work harder and act like a young man."
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but want to laugh, and he looked at his wife again. This girl's whole life has changed, and the whole person has entered a new era.
"It's good that you have such an awareness, so hurry up and prepare. Think about what supplies to prepare for future battles, you have been very careful, put your share in order, and mine. ”
"Yes!"
The girl had a similar experience, and then immediately began to prepare.
Yang Mingzhi is very relieved of her, this girl is thoughtful, and there will be no mistakes in sorting out her bags. After the operation began, she and Natasha stayed by her side, and the sniper sisters were able to cooperate again.
In this battle, Yang Mingzhi did not want the Gomel underground city committee to know, as long as they did not know, the potential spies would not know, and the Germans would not know that an undercurrent was approaching them, so as to ensure the suddenness of the battle.
Immediately news of the imminent launch of a new combat operation spread in the barracks, and after Yerentina summoned the various subordinate commissars to a meeting, the authenticity of the operation was confirmed. She ordered: "All of you immediately notify the soldiers of your subordinate, immediately enter the first level of combat readiness, and put the internal affairs in order according to the soldiers' regulations." In a few days, we will conduct the largest military operation since entering the swamp. ”
The tension of the war is spreading, but the soldiers are not afraid at all, and everyone is eager to fight. Some people hope to fight and kill the enemy and make achievements, while others simply hope to run away from hatred.
The militia also has a very high sense of combat, and after a series of training, there is not much difference between them and regular soldiers in terms of quality, the only difference is that many of them have not participated in war.
There are also nearly 1,000 female soldiers in the army, and the so-called women do not let them shave their eyebrows, and after these women have been trained hard, their fighting qualities are theoretically not inferior to those of male soldiers. They did a good job in assault training, cross-country marching, and live-fire training on weekdays. Perhaps only the natural disadvantage of women will cause some people to lose their spirits, and they are still good soldiers to overcome these.
Yang Mingzhi spent two days working out the details of the battle plan, so the combat meeting was held again.
The meeting was held in the blacksmith village at the new division headquarters, a wooden hut that had just been built, and a large conference room.
A huge map was hung up, on which Yang Mingzhi outlined the route of the march with a pencil. The meeting was attended not only by the "four-man regiment" as the leader of the whole division, but also by battalion commanders and political commissars at the battalion level, as well as by the village chiefs of the three collective farms and representatives of the village committees.
After reading Yang Mingzhi's battle plan, Yevlov and others agreed to it, so this meeting was mainly to give direct orders to various troops.
Seeing that the personnel had expired, Yang Mingzhi stood up and looked at the various officers who were seated.
"Comrades, everyone has arrived, so I'll explain it directly. In two days' time, we will begin a new round of combat operations, in which we will deploy eight battalions of combat troops. As you know, we now have a total strength of 10 battalions, six battalions of the regular army and four battalions of the militia. With two battalions remaining behind and eight other battalions in action, we are going to have a battle of the greatest scale! ”
Everyone gritted their teeth and waited for the deputy division commander's next order. The commanders of the four militia battalions were very nervous, and fifty percent could not participate in the operation, and they were silently praying that bad luck would not befall them.
"Now that the mayor and Comrade Political Commissar have approved my battle plan, I, Berekov, in the name of deputy division commander and staff officer, give you orders. One regiment and one battalion commander! The commander of the first regiment and the second battalion! ”
"Here!" Roshakov and Krabsky stood up.
"Roshakov, we have not had a regimental commander for a long time, and you are now leading a regiment and a battalion to strengthen the regimental commander. You and Klabsky attack the town of Homnich. Commander of the first battalion of the militia, Ninelli! ”
"Here!"
"Your troops have been temporarily grouped into a regiment! Artillery company commander Doronin! Tank platoon commander Chekov! ”
"Here!" Two men stood up.
When people heard the words tank, they saw a small man standing up, and before everyone could react, Yang Mingzhi spoke.
"In this battle, we have to take Homnic quickly. Doronin, you carry all the large-caliber mortars of our army, including the anti-tank gun. Chekov, you led all three BT tanks to attack with infantry. All of you belong to the same group! ”
With such a firepower configuration, the first regiment directly became the most powerful firepower unit. For a long time, Yevlov was also the commander of a regiment, because for several months combat operations were carried out in battalion units.
There was a lot of discussion, and the venue was buzzing.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Yevlov ordered in a loud voice, "Now continue to listen to the deputy division commander read the order." ”
Yang Mingzhi paused, he gave a group of all the heavy weapons, the purpose was also to consider the future battle of great intensity.
"You don't have to be confused. Now the commander of the regiment, Roshakov, you and Krabsky are the main forces in the assault on Khomnych. I have given you the task of taking Homnich and destroying the living forces of the enemy, but not to kill them all, and to allow some of them to flee and report the news. What awaits you will be a counterattack from the enemy, and the war will be very fierce, so that's why you have all the large-caliber artillery at your disposal. By the way, I'm going to equip you with a lot of individual rockets to boost your firepower. Remember! Homnich held out until he received our orders. ”
"Yes!" The four officers stood up and spoke in unison.
"Very well, sit down, all of you." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and ordered his old subordinates to stand up.
"Lavrenti, Evgeny, your battalion is following me, and we will go straight to the road between Lechitsa and Gomel, ambush the German convoy, and rescue the prisoners of war. The commander of the second battalion of the militia, Joshua, stood up! ”
Joshua was a woman, and her battalion was full of female soldiers. Yang Mingzhi felt that there was nothing wrong with sending a female battalion to participate in the operation, and he knew that many male soldiers were very prejudiced against the combat effectiveness of female soldiers. Natasha is a girl, her record is an example at all, do the wider female soldiers also have high combat effectiveness?
As for Joshua herself, she was very surprised, and her heart was suddenly excited.
Yang Mingzhi said slowly: "Joshua, I have heard many people say that as long as a woman can give birth to a child, go back and clean up her home, and plant some potatoes and raise some poultry on weekdays." I don't think that's right. ”
"That's right, our battalion is full of women, and we should do more. We can do most of the things that men can do, and some things that men can't do, only we can do. The implication of this is nothing more than giving birth to a baby and milking a child, and everyone laughs.
"Don't laugh! We female soldiers can't wait. The enemy killed our husbands, our loved ones, and it was our turn to defend our homeland. ”
This woman's attitude is very resolute, and Yang Mingzhi believes that what she says is from her heart. "Very well, according to the training of your female barracks, your battalion is fully capable of tough battles, so you will follow me in ambush warfare. I hope that when the time comes, I will be able to think about what you are saying now. The fighting determination and quality of the girls are not inferior to the male soldiers. ”
In this way, Yang Mingzhi will lead his old subordinates and take a female battalion. He also drew out a hundred men from the guard company and merged with the independent reconnaissance company, and the commander was still Balzen.
"Finally, Chernenko and Alexander, please stand."
These two men, Chernenko, an independent partisan unit that had been discovered a few months earlier, had now expanded his men to a battalion. The troops respected their choice and did not erase their name from the days of the regular army, which is now known as the Chernenko partisan brigade.
Alexander, he led the active army and thousands of Jews entered the base pair. In order to show his determination to fight, his forces were replenished. It was supplemented by mostly the original Jews in the troops, as well as Jews selected from among the refugees who had served in the military, and the battalion was simply privately called the Jewish Battalion.
"The Chernenko guerrilla brigade and the Jewish battalion are in reserve, and as soon as the war requires it, they will immediately order you to fight!"
In the meantime, there were two other battalion commanders who had not received orders, the 2nd Militia Battalion and the 4th Militia Battalion (women's battalion). Yang Mingzhi thought for a while, and then changed his words: "Forget it, there are a total of four battalions of the troops left behind, and you should all serve as war reserves." The scale of my operation is so large that all of us should act just in case. ”
The details of the war were set, and all units of the army were given tasks.
On the other hand, the blacksmith village also began to reorganize the warehouse. The war required a large amount of munitions, and Rigushkov urged the workers every day to ensure quality and speed up production. Today, each fighter can carry an average of two grenades, an average squad has a set of rocket tubes, and a rocket is an average of two people.
For light infantry, RPGs and grenades, should be their standard equipment. In this swamp, Yang Mingzhi imitated the bazooka of the US military and the traditional rocket fuse index letter, and the bazooka made by Yang Mingzhi, after being improved over and over again by Riguskov, it can already be used as an offensive and defensive anti-infantry weapon, at least its power has reached the scale of a fragmentation grenade.
But these were not enough, and after the meeting, Yang Mingzhi suddenly remembered that Podovich also had to prepare for the game. The scale of this war is very large, and we can try to use Rigushkoff's heavy weapon, the high-yield rocket.
Therefore, Podovich was also ordered to be ready to take off at any time, and he was to throw two powerful rockets into the attack on Homnitch. Two rockets filled with picric acid exploded as part of the artillery preparations, and the battle for the town had to be fought quickly! (To be continued.) )
