Where is the vanguard of the attacking Romanian 6th Infantry Division now? Everyone figured that they might have reached the edge of the forest, or had already begun to enter the forest. Their final destination will not change, that is, Slavzich.

If all Soviet troops had withdrawn, the battle could have been avoided. But no one from the officers down to the grassroots soldiers agreed to do so.

If it was the elite German army that was attacking, there was some justification for appropriate tactical evasion. In the face of the Romanians, the retreaters are equated with cowards.

After the withdrawal of the guerrilla brigade and Ravlenti, Yang Mingzhi immediately convened a military meeting.

The battle was inevitable, and all that remained was for the officers to discuss how to find the Luo army and finally beat the Luo army. For this reason, Yang Mingzhi already had some ideas, and he still wanted to hear what the officers had to say first.

The commander of the paratrooper brigade, Tapunov, made his own opinion: "Since the Germans must come to the city, we must not let them take it!" The Luo army doesn't have any heavy weapons, and it's pure fool's dream to want to promise us with their light weapons! Besides, our weapons and equipment are more advanced and our firepower is more powerful! We quickly transformed the city into a makeshift fortress where we held them back. ”

His decision, the officers of the paratrooper brigade were all supportive. Moreover, this kind of traditional war thinking of holding the position is also admired by the vast number of Soviet troops.

Yang Mingzhi slandered, this group of old hairy people is essentially willing to confront the enemy head-on, than whose arms are thicker!

Lavrenj also very much agreed with Tapunov's meaning, adding: "Moreover, the Luo army probably thinks that the city is still controlled by the Ukrainian puppet army, and their advance will be unvigilant!" ”

"Yes!" Miroshniko, who made a temporary cameo appearance as a "military observer", emphasized: "The Romanian troops pursuing us will think that our guerrilla brigade has penetrated into the forest, and they will definitely rush over, simply rush over!" ”

"Alas!" Tepnov sighed, "We're going to build a defensive line in the city, and the enemy is coming in such a big line, so that if we just set up a few machine guns, this group of unsuspecting people will be wiped out like mowing grass." It's just that the final decision depends on the commander. ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Yang Mingzhi.

He looked left and right: "It's all over?" Do you all want to hold on to the city? ”

"Yes!" Lavrenj said: "Commander, we are ambushed in the city, and we will definitely be able to fight a beautiful ambush battle." ”

Hearing the word "ambush warfare", Yang Mingzhi shook his head. He knocked on the table and said calmly: "Ambush war!" Of course we are going to fight an ambush war, just how to do it! I mean, the troops are out of the city! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Commander! You mean, the city is unguarded? Lavrenti asked in astonishment.

"That's right! Don't keep it! Yang Mingzhi glanced at everyone and strengthened his tone: "I know that you are all willing to defend the city, and my plan to give up defending the city is by no means a maverick!" Comrades, we are engaged in war with the enemy, and we cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, our core purpose is to annihilate the enemy's living forces! We killed them all, and the city was saved. Besides, what do you think is left of this city that has been bombed by our rocket artillery? Rubble! The bodies were buried, and the usable supplies were escorted to the ferry by Yevgeny! The last thing of value here is the steel bars in the fragments of the building! Why should we defend these stones? ”

In this way, everyone also thinks that there is some truth.

Yang Mingzhi therefore issued a basic defense plan: "This time, the battle between us and the Luo army is inevitable, and our current logistics determine that we cannot fight a tug-of-war with the enemy, so we must find a way to annihilate the most enemies in the shortest time!" We don't want to kill all the Romanians, we just create the possibility that they can raise their hands and surrender to complete the mission. Look at this Slavzich environment! It is surrounded by forests, with only two dirt roads and the outside world! It's a very closed area, don't you think it could be used as a huge encirclement?

We currently have two mission objectives to achieve. First, find the Romanians and find a way to introduce them into Slavdzic. Second, when the city arrived, our ambushes attacked them from all sides and shouted to them in German to surrender! ”

The tactic that Yang Mingzhi thought of was this, and he really felt that this idea was too taken for granted! Can those Romanians really be led by the nose?

In short, only if the enemy really gets into the encirclement, the troops can use their firepower superiority to defeat them in a short time!

The officers know very well that there is not much time left for everyone to prepare for battle!

Yang Mingzhi clearly ordered: "Now, the troops will start preparing according to my plan!" ”

The officers said no more, stood up and saluted, and headed straight for their respective camps......

Yang Mingzhi had a lot of knowledge of the terrain in this area, and he arranged the paratrooper brigade in the forest on the south side of the city, and the second regiment of the 284th Division in the forest on the north side of the city

The city is only 300 meters from the forest to the north and south, and more than 500 meters from the forest to the east and south! There are two roads leading to the forest, the one from north to south is purely through the forest, and the east-west one leads not only to Chernihiv. Slavdzich resembles a city built in a plain surrounded by forests, and it looks like a beaker from the air. The reason why it is so is entirely due to the felling of trees, which has turned a small village into a small city.

According to Yang Mingzhi's assumption, the enemy who entered the ambush circle was the first to encounter an attack from the northwest of the city, which would be a rocket artillery critical attack, and strive to stun him as soon as possible. After all, the Luo army was not a German army, and they could never fight to the death without retreating, so they would retreat in a southeasterly direction, rushing towards the road they had come. At this time, the paratrooper brigade, which had superior strength, dealt a fatal blow to it.

The various units immediately completed such a military deployment. Lavrendi's camp was already in the north of the city, and he was ordered to retreat 500 meters. For no other reason, stay away from the city, hide in dense forests, so that possible enemy scouts have a good chance of not being detected.

The same was true of the paratrooper brigade, which left the city in its entirety and headed for the forest in the southeast of the city, and went into hibernation five hundred meters deeper.

The baggage of each unit is placed farther away in the forest, two kilometers away from the preset battlefield! Those were three temporary food depots for the Soviet army, and two temporary ammunition depots. Exocet rocket launchers, which planned to attack Chernihiv at the right time, were also covered with sackcloth and hid in the dense forest.

Yang Mingzhi also quickly pulled the headquarters out of the dilapidated department store in the city, all the pendants and items were taken away, and the broken table was completely smashed by the soldiers with the butt of their guns. The cellars, which were once crowded with people and are now used as tombs, were also sealed with rocks by soldiers.

In this way, the last bit of "popularity" of Slavzich is gone, and only three hours after Yang Mingzhi gave the order, the city has become a lifeless and dilapidated ruin, and the city is already a thing of the past.

Yang Mingzhi moved his headquarters to the new camp of the 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division, where he sent another telegram to the blacksmith village and the Missy Ferry, urging them to speed up their movements.

At the same time, the reconnaissance battalion of the independent Balzen was also given a key task here!
