One, who knows what happened to Balzen when he went to the front again?! Who knows how many German reinforcements Slavdzich ?!

Of course, this operation was rushed, so the reconnaissance intelligence was a mess! This is by no means a reason for hesitation and grinding, that Slavdishch must be taken according to the orders of the superiors!

Yang Mingzhi urgently came to the officers in a hurry and began to explain the current embarrassing situation.

"Listen! Comrades! Our reconnaissance battalion has discovered something new, the Germans have begun to reinforce Slavtish, and we may have to fight a battle that is no longer planned! ”

"So, it's an encounter?" Lavrenti patted his chest with contempt for the Germans and infinite confidence in himself: "We were worried that we could not find the Germans, and they actually sent them to the door in person!" ”

Evgeny echoed: "He is right, it is not honorable at all to fight the puppet army, it makes sense to destroy the German soldiers." ”

Yang Mingzhi strained his face slightly: "It's good that you have confidence, but we still can't take it lightly, after all, they have tanks." Now, all attention! ”

Several important officers present immediately focused on waiting for the commander to issue an urgent order.

Yang Mingzhi's order was twofold:

First, all the Catfish rocket launchers were immediately transported to a suitable area, where the launchers of the Exocet rocket launchers were erected. The troops inflicted tactical fire strikes on Slavzich by rocket artillery.

Second, the paratrooper brigade accelerated its movement to the Slavdishic and reconnaissance battalions, and when the rocket artillery had completed the preparation of artillery fire, the troops would launch a full-scale offensive.

These are the core contents of the order, and there are many more details. In particular, he divided the 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division into two, and Ravlendi led a battalion carrying all the catfish rocket artillery to break away from the unit and go to a suitable launch point to carry out the operation. Evgeny took the rest of the men, the main baggage of the Infantry Regiment of the Bearers, and all the larger Exocet rocket launchers, and followed closely behind the paratrooper brigade.

In fact, after Balzen reported that he had discovered that the enemy of Slavzich had made preparations for the defense of the city, and hastily attacked the generals to increase casualties, Yang Mingzhi thought of a plan to use long-range fire to prepare for artillery fire.

It was common for the Soviets to use heavy artillery to bombard enemy positions before the attack, and there were no large-caliber howitzers, and there were 30 rounds of rocket artillery with two 155mm howitzers on top.

The troops marched through the forest, and the route of the march was also marked by Yang Mingzhi on the map of the area. This area was the first time his troops had set foot in it, and a large area had not yet been explored, so the map of the area at hand became the only reference.

The Soviets drew a map of the Dnieper in great detail, and they mapped a large number of small tributaries that flowed into the Dnieper.

These shallow tributaries of small streams flow through the forest, and by determining the appearance of these streams and the order in which they are marked, Yang Mingzhi can probably know the current true location of the troops.

The forest where the troops marched was very dense, and there were some airspaces that lacked vegetation cover - where streams passed.

The troops have been divided, and after arranging the mission, the large force with the paratrooper brigade as the main body, carrying a large amount of baggage, continued to rush towards the target city, while Yang Mingzhi led Rav Lianji and 600 soldiers to run towards the place where the two streams marked on the map meet.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi became a mathematician, and he made Lavlenj wait a moment, and he quickly planned a route on the map, and made accurate measurements with tools such as tie gauges, protractors, and rulers.

Ravlenj looked at it in amazement: "Commander, if you draw these lines, you can really guarantee that we will shoot the rocket artillery?" We don't see the goal at all! ”

"Of course! If you have the opportunity to read an advanced math textbook, or if you go to the artillery battalion commander Doronin to ask for some knowledge, you can do the same. ”

Yang Mingzhi stopped talking nonsense, a rocket launcher launch trajectory four kilometers away from the target and a high parabola was determined, and he put away the map and immediately ordered to move towards a new target!

Most of the forests in Eastern Europe grew on the plains, and the cold temperate climate made the vegetation on the ground basically weeds, and the troops encountered no resistance, and it took only twenty minutes for everyone to reach the confluence of the streams.

In line with Yang Mingzhi's judgment, this is a small riverside wetland plain with slightly muddy land surrounded by forests.

Yang Mingzhi ordered the panting fighters non-stop: "Comrades, now is not the time to rest, everyone immediately start building the launch stand!" All the rocket launchers were also unloaded for a final inspection! ”

Speaking of this launcher, it takes the soldier five minutes to install it, and the most critical part of it is not its long and narrow firing rail, but its trigger system.

After all, due to the extreme lack of real materials, this rocket launcher still uses the traditional ignition method of hitting the fire cap with a firing pin. Therefore, the fire cap of the rocket launcher is placed at its end, and the two rocket launchers "Exocet" and "Catfish", especially the tail end, are very similar, so the ignition system is completely universal!

Yang Mingzhi watched the fighters build two launch racks in a group, and he gave an additional order: "You fix the launch elevation angle at 63 degrees, and the direction is 33 degrees south-east." Complete the debugging and reload a catfish in no time! ”

At least compared to the grinding position arrangement of large-caliber howitzers, the arrangement of the launchers of this rocket artillery is really fast.

Just over ten minutes later, a rocket launcher was already loaded on the launcher.

During the operation at the end of April, the fighters of the paratrooper brigade used this rocket artillery and had a wealth of experience. They taught their experience to other units, and Lavlendi and his men not only saw it, but also actually tested it at the training ground, so these fighters were definitely using it for the first time.

After the two launchers were driven, Yang Mingzhi personally held the compass and fine-tuned the launchers, so that he was sure to aim at Slavzich.

But he was still a little worried, because there were three reasons that interfered with the accuracy of rocket artillery: aerodynamic performance, fuel quantity, and mapping accuracy. This mass-produced rocket launcher does not guarantee that each one is properly charged, and there is a slight difference in the weight of each round, and this small difference will be missed by a thousand miles in flight if it is too long.

The most critical issue is the map, if the geological surveyors of the Soviet Union before the war had poor mapping accuracy, their ballistic calculations would be wrong, and no one would know where the rocket artillery would blow up.

In any case, there is no way out, Yang Mingzhi can only bite the bullet. But the soldiers did not understand this concern of their commander, and one by one they stared at the iron lumps on the launch pad, talking and laughing that this thing could blow the Germans into smoke.

Yang Mingzhi called the eager Ravrenj to his side, pinched his waist and said: "Now you have seen it, we are about to strike Slavzich with firepower." ”

"Yes, sir! This is also the first time that we have supported the front-line troops with such artillery fire! ”

"That's right! The target is just a small city, and half of the city will be blown up in a few shots! I don't have time to fight in the streets with the enemy, so let them taste our latest scientific and technological achievements this time! As long as the city is mostly destroyed, the predicament of the reconnaissance battalion will be gone, and we will be able to complete the scheduled mission before the sun sets! ”

Saying that, Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered: "Ravlianji, your people have ten rocket launchers ready, and we will dispatch so many in the first round of strikes." The remaining twenty are also ready for me! ”
