Chapter 898: Four Battalions
Womansky has been actively preparing some of the logistical equipment for the troops' departure, and at the same time he has to prepare for the construction of the blacksmith village-Heitu Village railway in the near future.
As soon as he received the telegram from the command, he couldn't help but feel irritated. At such a late hour, do you need to ask for any new supplies to be urgently prepared?
He dragged his tired steps to the communication station, and the telegraph operator handed him the translated documents.
Look at this piece of paper, the superiors really need new supplies again! He looked at the key vocabulary and saw the word "donkey".
"Oh my God! Thankfully they used a donkey, and if I had used my little liver, I would have gone mad! ”
This old guy with a white beard looks like a child now, and he almost jumps and sings a song! The little girl who was the telegraph operator asked curiously, "The village chief? Your superiors want you to prepare fifty donkeys, this event is worth celebrating? ”
"Of course! Thankfully not horses! Womansky needed someone to share his excitement, so he said: "Honey, you don't understand the donkey's good!" They are irreplaceable means of transport on rugged mountain trails, eating less and working more, capable of carrying up to 80 kilograms of goods without making any noise when walking. Compared to horses, or donkeys are suitable for them! ”
"Is that so? Isn't there a disadvantage to donkeys? ”
"Of course! The only downside is that when the animal loses its temper, it is difficult for it to listen to people! Womanski shook his head regretfully.
What the troops actually needed was a mule, with the bravery and adaptability of a horse, and the docility and stamina of a donkey. It's just that a donkey made by a cross between a donkey and a horse doesn't grow up so quickly! It is true that Heitu Village has already bred a few mules, but it is still in its infancy, and it wants to make it a "strong man" of the army, at least until autumn!
The next day, fifty donkeys were quickly prepared, and the accompanying "donkey herds" were also involved in the operation.
A small team, driving a herd of donkeys, marched mightily towards the blacksmith village. The donkey's pace is steady, even with a lot of cargo in tow! Originally, there were some military supplies to be sent to the blacksmith village in Heitu Village, and there were also horse-drawn carriages and trucks.
On April 25, Yang Mingzhi still listened to the morning call and got up and dressed. Tomorrow is the battle, and it is hard not to be excited.
The most important thing today is to order troops, to gather all the soldiers involved in the operation, and then there will be another wave of impromptu speeches. Then they went to the logistics department in batches to collect ammunition, new weapons, and heavy military rations.
The soldiers quickly began to assemble at the sound of the trumpet, and even if they were to participate in military operations tomorrow, the routine running drill early in the morning was indispensable.
On a different occasion, troops who have not been given orders begin regular training after breakfast.
The troops, who had been ordered to act tomorrow, assembled in the square immediately after breakfast.
In this way, the fighters of the four battalions were arranged in four squares, arranged in a matrix. Undoubtedly, among these soldiers, the figure of female soldiers is the most peculiar, and the overall image of Joshua's female barracks is very different from that of their comrades.
The commander has not yet arrived in person, and the majority of soldiers are inevitably whispering, and talking and laughing about female soldiers abound.
"What a bunch of idiots! You think I don't know what you're discussing? Qiao Shuya scolded vigorously in her heart, and she was targeting the "noble" paratrooper. The men in that group seemed to have never seen a formed female combat unit, and the inherent prejudice was indispensable.
Joshua doesn't want to defend anything, when it comes to the experience of fighting, there are a lot of girls in her own country. And what about those paratroopers? They have done a lot of military exercises since they formed the army, have they really killed an enemy? The answer is no.
The soldiers, carrying shriveled bags and guns that had not yet received bullets, lined up in a neat line, waiting for the arrival of the senior officers.
Soon, Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov, Fumin and Tepnov and others came to the scene in great strides.
As soon as the officers in their hats arrived, the chatter came to an abrupt end, and all the soldiers raised their proud heads and saluted with their eyes pointing at the officers.
"All of them! Attention! Yang Mingzhi burst out, and in the next second, there was a crisp sound of two thousand pairs of leather shoes coming together.
All the troops involved in the operation were here, and Star Fruit and Natasha also entered the queue at this time, and because they were women, they were naturally temporarily classified into Joshua's battalion.
The paratrooper battalion is an elite that has been hidden by the Soviet army for a long time, not to mention its combat effectiveness, just the current soldiers, it is clearly a combat force that cannot be underestimated. They are a powerful army that is fully equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and it is only fitting that they should be the main force of operations.
Balzen's reconnaissance battalion, which suffered heavy losses in battle, still survived its purification. Three months after the end of the battle, the new recruits were selected from the various militia units, and after three weeks of intensive training, their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. It's just that many veterans have been killed in battle, and their combat effectiveness is still reduced overall.
The last battalion was Joshua's female soldiers, and it was because of the importance attached to them that they were specifically ordered to participate in the operation. Theoretically, all the cowardly guys have been kicked out by Joshua, and the rest of the girls should be some who are not afraid of death!
At the head of each battalion stood a soldier carrying a red flag. There was no pattern on the flag, just a pure red flag.
With such a military appearance and such a costume, they are indeed a purely well-equipped red army.
Yang Mingzhi walked around in front of these teams, receiving the attention of the soldiers, and at the same time, his keen eyes were also examining these soldiers.
Soldiers will always show a heroic aura intentionally or unintentionally, especially those who have been killed on the battlefield, they will exude bursts of murderous aura, especially those sharp eyes!
At this point, Yang Mingzhi fought in front of the whole army again and stood with other officers.
Yevlov asked: "What do you think?" Our troops, especially the female soldiers! Do you still think that you should only send such a small number of troops? ”
"There are already a lot of such troops!" Yang Mingzhi replied decisively: "If there are more troops, it will be a large-scale operation!" The number of troops is just right, and I don't want to expand the war for the time being. ”
"Really? Like a scalpel, complete all the tasks of this operation and return the way you came! Your plan has been reached! ”
Yang Mingzhi sighed: "I hope so!" Even if the war expands, we will not be afraid, and you, the deputy commander, will have to act at that time! ”
This is the end of the chatter among the officers, and looking at the current situation, Yang Mingzhi's impromptu speech is not appropriate. This group of iron-clad warriors, their bags are still dry, and they are full of guns, but they have not yet received brand new ammunition.
The warriors' eyes widened at this moment, and they all expected the commander to say something uplifting, but they didn't.
Yang Mingzhi resolutely ordered: "All turn to the left, take the battalion as a unit, and all are moving towards the munitions warehouse!" ”
