These female soldiers finally collected their corpses before the sun set, and most of them were buried.

Yang Mingzhi has always stayed on this battlefield, even if the majority of soldiers have already built a camp for tonight in the forest around the battlefield. The task of the troops after the war was nothing more than cleaning the battlefield, and this project would inevitably continue until the next day. Moreover, after a long battle from early morning to more than 10 hours in the evening, the energy of the vast number of soldiers was about to reach its limit.

In any case, the all-out operation against this infantry division of the Romanian army was not at all in the initial battle planning. The battle has far exceeded the prediction and is almost at the level of a campaign! Regardless of whether the vast number of soldiers are mentally prepared or not, the battle has already been fought, and they must have a good rest on the battlefield in this twilight.

However, judging from the performance of these female soldiers, it is obvious that many girls are not fully prepared - these war dead may be sisters in the same dormitory, and they have established a deep sisterhood with each other in their daily training. Like relatives, each other is separated by yin and yang.

Men have mental breakdowns in the face of the death of their comrades-in-arms, and sensitive women are even worse.

For this, Yang Mingzhi has always been obsessed. Seeing that his body was basically buried, he gave an order to the third regiment to assemble urgently, especially all the soldiers who were still able to fight in the female battalion must assemble!

After some orders, the 3rd regiment did not assemble as quickly as usual. It took ten minutes for more than 1,000 people to line up and stand on the battlefield where the corpses had just been retained.

Yang Mingzhi had some words in his stomach, and before giving a speech, he just wanted to look at these soldiers who had experienced the most tragic and bloody battles, especially the officers.

Anatoly and his officers and men were assembled, and after the desolate trumpet of life, the officers and men of the regiment stood upright. They stand like pine trees, telling a trace of tragedy in the last afterglow of the setting sun.

Yang Mingzhi's eyes wandered around the three women's barracks. He knew that in the whole operation, the only male battalion of the third regiment suffered small losses, and the losses of the three female battalions were very large.

Of these three female battalions, the two battalion commanders Joshua and Sashanova are more familiar to him. There were many veterans in these two troops, so their combat ability was not weak, and even in bayonet battles, their battle losses were much better than those of the last female barracks.

Yang Mingzhi was a little unfamiliar with the battalion commander, so he instructed the female battalion commander to come over and report.

"Report to Comrade Commander! The commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Women's Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 284th Guards Division, Ania Ivanova, reports, please instruct. ”

"Finish! Comrade Ivanova! ”

Yang Mingzhi's understanding of this battalion commander is basically limited to the roster of officers and soldiers. Of all the female battalions, only the Joshua and Sashanova battalions were dispatched with high frequency, and the other battalions remained in the so-called strategic reserve.

He decisively asked the key question: "Comrade Ivanova, how many people are in your battalion?" How many people are gathered now? ”

She hesitated, her big eyes trembling discordantly.

"Report to Comrade Commander! Our battalion is full of 605 people, and after this battle, our battalion ...... The ...... where our battalion is now assembled Well, there are 297 people! ”

Hearing this number, Yang Mingzhi chuckled in his heart. The Russian description of a series of numbers is a very lengthy pronunciation, and objectively verbose pronunciation saves people from mishearing. Yang Mingzhi really heard it, this internal establishment is the third battalion of the women's battalion, and their losses are really bad.

"So, your battalion lost half of this battle."

"Yes...... Yes! My sisters, many of them are fighting for the first time, and I can't imagine it...... I can't believe that the war will be like this"

"War is like that!" Yang Mingzhi sighed and glanced at Qiao Shuya on the side. "Comrade Ivanova! This is war, and if you choose to build a line of defense in the first place, instead of rashly attacking the enemy, the casualties will be much smaller than now! Build a defensive line and hold on, and soon the main force will come from the rear of the enemy, and if these enemies are attacked from both sides, they will still be completely annihilated. However, there are no ifs! Anatoly! ”

"Here! Comrade Commander! ”

"Even you, in the current situation, can't judge that the main force will suddenly appear! You occupy the enemy's camp and have no firm foothold, and a large number of enemies suddenly appear, and you lead your troops to bravely charge the enemy. I already fully understand the courage of the 3rd Regiment, but if the courage is not well controlled, it will be reckless, and the price of recklessness is a large number of casualties! We won a great victory in this battle, and what I like is the kind of battle where we lose very little and unilaterally hit the enemy, not this kind of bloody battle where we kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 ourselves! ”

"Yes! Yes! Comrade Commander! ”

In Anatoly's opinion, the commander was criticizing without showing an angry look, and he felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps the commander was also very considerate of the feelings of his subordinates, so he didn't say anything harsh.

The only thing Yang Mingzhi was unhappy was the large number of avoidable casualties, but the battle was still a great victory for the Soviet army, and it was these standing officers and soldiers who gave the enemy the final blow.

He ordered all the officers to return to their ranks, and stood in front of more than a thousand soldiers who had experienced bayonet battles, and became impassioned.

"......, this will be a long war, but also a hard war, you are proud and heroic to fight for the motherland! You are all extraordinary warriors, connected to each other, and this camaraderie only exists in battle! You've been through death, you've been through hardships, and many of you have fought for the first time, and for the first time, you've launched a heroic attack on the enemy.

Many comrades-in-arms died! Their sacrifice was worth it! Whether it's a man or a woman who sleeps on this battlefield, they're all heroes!

……

The vast number of female comrades, you have proved your bravery and your ambition to defend your home and country with your practical actions. Some people say that a woman can just take care of her children at home! I said, no! Today, with the rifles in your hands and the metallic stabbing of the guns, you have taught the enemy the courage of female soldiers, and you have also proved your courage to the entire 63rd Army.

All the soldiers present, including the heroic souls who are buried in the land of the Great Soviets, you are heroes.

Heroes don't die! The spirit that the hero represents will live on! The vast number of soldiers, the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 284th Guards Division of the 63rd Army already has a soul! You are no longer a reserve, but a real workhorse.

Comrades! Especially lesbians! Remember, it was you who sounded the death knell of the Romanian Sixth Army, it was you who delivered a fatal blow to their divisional headquarters and logistics, and it was you who attacked the enemy's main infantry regiment with all your might! This Romanian unit defeated several units of our army in Odessa, in the Crimea, but here you declare your claims with bullets and bayonets! You, the elite of the Red Army!

For victory! Ulla! ”

This impassioned rhetoric had a good effect, and the entire Third Regiment fell into excitement, but many female soldiers and girls wiped tears from their faces while shouting from the mountains.

Isn't it stupid to say that the casualties are too large at this juncture? These soldiers, especially women, they needed the encouragement of victory, as well as personal appreciation from the commander of the army group!

Yang Mingzhi deliberately determined that the morale of the Third Regiment was not only stabilized, but also its morale was raised to a higher level. However, the huge loss of personnel suffered by the regiment was also real. The regiment has to go through a lot of personnel replenishment, and it has to go through more rigorous training! For a period of time, this army should continue to act as a strategic reserve and logistics force!
