Chapter 1117: The Night of May 21
Yang Mingzhi did report the losses of the 3rd Regiment in its original form, and he estimated that Yevlov would be very sad about such losses, and Salinchkin would not care too much. After all, the ranks of the Soviet army often carried out seemingly heroic but in fact very harsh and rather dull charges at the tactical level.
Many units have an overly classical understanding of the attack of grass-roots squads, except that after the artillery fire is prepared, the infantry forms a skirmish, shouts Ulla, and attacks with submachine guns and rifles. The enemy's infantry line was overcome by the advance of the soldiers, but such an attack was bound to suffer heavy losses.
Yang Mingzhi always felt that Salinchin valued the result of the victory the most, and did not pay much attention to the cost of personnel and materials.
He never expected that the spirit of these young girls who dared to fight with the enemy with bayonets shocked Salinchkin, and their concept of war was quietly changing after a long time in the swamp. That is, to truly achieve victory at the lowest cost, rather than a wave of enthusiasm.
Regarding the return of the casualties of the 3rd Regiment, this was one of the many telegrams he was going to send, and a large number of telegrams were waiting to be sent at Diana's!
For many soldiers, today's battle is over, and after the great victory, everyone can finally sleep well.
In the absence of a damn enemy GI press, there is no need to worry about dying suddenly. The soldiers who had been ordered to clean up the battlefield dragged their tired bodies and threw the various booty they had captured into the designated places, dug their own foxholes in the nearby forest, or leaned their backs against the trees. They lit a bonfire and began to nibble on the black bread they had captured from the Luo army, bake the captured potatoes, and drink some water. After eating and drinking, they fell asleep without heart and lungs.
Yang Mingzhi deliberately believed that no enemy would threaten the safety of him and his soldiers, so he did not interfere too much with the behavior of the majority of soldiers who were sleeping soundly.
Tonight, there will be no war!
The battle against the Luo army should end here, and the whole military operation is not over!
He carried a box of canned beef and inspected the state of the army as he ate it. Many of the intellect soldiers immediately woke up their snoring comrades and stood up in front of the commander.
Yang Mingzhi was not angry, and signaled: "Comrades! You're all exhausted! We won this battle, and you should be happy! Get a good night's sleep now, our battle isn't completely over yet! ”
The battle is indeed not over, after Yang Mingzhi's reminder, the majority of soldiers suddenly thought that they also have a special operation plan for the city of Chernihiv!
Bazooka! The new Exocet rocket launcher was put into actual combat for the first time, and as for whether it could hit that city, the vast number of soldiers had full confidence. I was curious about what kind of results I could achieve.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the forest camp, and some energetic fighters also had various opinions on the actual combat of rocket artillery. Some even imagined that if the rocket launcher fell into the garrison of a high-ranking German officer, or fell into the enemy's barracks, the damage would be very staggering.
Naturally, there are also soldiers who fear that the use of rocket artillery will inevitably hurt civilians.
This kind of discussion about the fact that rocket artillery is likely to kill and injure the enemy while injuring a large number of innocent people has already been quarreled by Yevlov and Fomin in the command headquarters, and the discussion is also quite lively among the officers and men at the grassroots level.
The three views of most soldiers are still very simple, that is, why not use good weapons if they have them? The citizens of the city were either slaves of the country or traitors who supported the so-called "Ukrainian National Council", and they were either cowards or traitors. As for the underground rebels operating in Chernihiv, it is as if they really work underground. This rocket cannon will not hurt these special fighters who are alive underground.
The discussion of the fighters Yang Mingzhi did not take it into account, his attitude was very clear, although the battle with the Luo army lasted for several days, the rocket artillery attack on Chernihiv could no longer be delayed!
He hurriedly finished the box of beef and ran to the telegraph operator again.
Night had fallen, and Diana participated in this bloody battle with the army, she really felt the cruelty of the battlefield, and she was glad that her luck was really good!
The battle was over, and she still had some lingering palpitations, but fortunately she was faced with a large number of messages to be sent, and these busy tasks made her temporarily forget the fear of dying in battle a few hours ago!
She had simply eaten dinner, and in the dim light of the kerosene lamp, she continued her work so intensely that the commander himself stood behind her, unaware.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know much about the dripping Morse code, and he boasted that if he could take a good look at the codebook, he might be able to translate it quickly. Everyone has their own talents, and Peria's talent is a super memory, and it is so right to be a telegraph operator.
Yang Mingzhi took aim at the moment, and after Diana finished transmitting a telegram, he coughed violently, attracting the attention of the female soldier.
"Hey! Comrade Commander, here you are! ”
"Yes, I'm coming! Everything is fine for telegram sending? ”
"Everything is normal, the command of the group army accepted it in good condition!"
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Very good, now send an urgent message to the headquarters, I will dictate, you will release it!" ”
"Okay! Say it. ”
……
More than 30 kilometers away, Alekseev and one of his subordinates waited in the telegraph room of the headquarters with all their might, including Perya, that is, Liu Hongxiu. Here, these communications fighters, together with the front-line officers and soldiers, have been fighting intensely, and even if the front line sends an urgent call in the early morning, this side can properly receive it.
He received an urgent telegram from the front command, from the commander, and it happened that the deputy commander and Salinkhkin were also there, so he personally delivered this significant telegram.
He hurried to the headquarters office and interrupted the conversation between the two commanders.
"Report to the deputy commander, Comrade Commander urgently telegraphed. Finally, Comrade Commander finally decided to do that! ”
The latter words Alekseev should not have said, but he couldn't control his emotions!
What's "that"?! Yevlov knew it very well, he stood up abruptly, took the telegram file, and with only a slight glance knew everything.
He said meaningfully to Salinchkin: "Finally, our Berekov is ready to use that weapon!" ”
"Sure enough! Exocet rocket launcher, finally ready to use! ”
Yevlov looked at the middle-aged man's eyebrows and reaffirmed: "Yes! Berekov's ambitions are great, this time, we will set up rocket artillery firing points on the ruins of Slavdish, and the target is Chernihiv! Eventually, we're going to make a big bang in that city! A big bang that shook the world! ”
Yevlov's words are clearly overly optimistic! Shocking the world? Salinchkin didn't think so much, the only thing he could foresee was that once this special operation was successful, he would report it to the leader, and Berekov would receive at least one more Gold Star Medal, an honorary title of the Soviet National Academy of Sciences, which would probably also promote a major leap in the combat strength of the Soviet army.
Stalin needed something tangible, he needed real combat, a loud bang in the city of Chernihiv.
So, in contrast to Yevlov's elation, Salinchkin regained his calm and sanity after a burst of excitement.
"That's it! Comrade Yevlov, now we know that Comrade Berekov will launch long-range rocket artillery tomorrow, May 22. How are you going to reply to him? ”
"Totally agree, of course! We're all waiting for good news! ”
Salinchkin nodded: "Okay! In short, the time he gave was too sudden, I was afraid that tomorrow the sun would rise, and the rocket launcher would be set up! Before noon, we knew there had been an explosion! ”
"That's right! It must be an earth-shattering bang! Yevlov stomped his foot and roared excitedly, and after a pause of more than ten seconds, he realized an extremely embarrassing question.
"Nope! Comrade Salinchkin! Wait a minute! Let's wait! Tomorrow the rockets will be launched, and who can tell us that the rockets really hit the city? We don't have spies in the city! ”
"No spies?" Salinchkin didn't talk nonsense either: "You don't have to worry about this matter!" This will order the communications department, contact the rebel groups active in Chernihiv, they will gather intelligence for us, and eventually, we will even know where the rocket exploded, and so on! ”
"I see, then fully support him!" Yevlov turned to look to the east, the situation was really good! "It's wonderful! Our arsenal is still producing rockets these days, and with these Exocets, we will be able to bombard the enemy for a long time, it is unimaginable, we are making history! ”
"Of course! Comrade Yevlov, this belongs not only to Comrade Berekov, but also to you, to the 63 Army, and even more so to the organic republic. For that, we can all get honor. We are not scientists, and we are not fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the front line! What we can do is to provide a very stable rear for the 8,000 soldiers on the front line, and this is our most important job at the moment! I think we should continue to supervise the placement of the prisoners of war, the treatment of the wounded that were torn off, and the light of all the booty that arrived at the blacksmith village! ”
"Then let's do it!" Yevlov didn't want to stay at the command any longer and smoked, "Let's go, let's go see that prisoner of war, that high-ranking enemy officer named Brimayo." I would now like to know what information your comrade in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has learned from him. 2k reading network
