In just one afternoon, 14 bombs dismantled a full two tons of TNT.

These explosives are poured into the body of the bomb in powder form, and even if it is immersed in water, it will not affect its quality, and it will not cause it to detonate in a collision. Therefore, the Soviet army used a relatively simple method, that is, wrapped it in linen cloth, and then tied it with hemp rope, and the "powerful" explosive bags were completed one by one.

They were loaded onto wagons and pulled back to the blacksmith village as soon as possible.

The results of the battle completely exceeded the expectations of Yang Mingzhi and others, and after statistics, the high explosives weighing two tons really filled the ammunition depot of the Soviet army.

More importantly, the appearance of these explosives made it possible for the originally damp shells to be replaced immediately. Because the Soviet army had limited TNT, Ivanov mixed it with ammonium nitrate to prepare the Amato, which saved TNT and had a greater power equivalent, but the worst disadvantage was that it was easy to get wet!

Thousands of shells were saved as a result, and the ammunition depot will in a short time return to its original size, and even quickly surpass it!

In the afternoon of the same day, the arsenal began to use these explosives.

Rigushkov gave a death order to the assembly shop: "You must hurry up and produce!" Must be produced overnight! Because we are preparing ammunition for a new military operation. ”

There have long been rumors in the arsenal and in the entire blacksmith village that the troops are going to attack Loyev, a small city on the right bank of the Dnieper River, a few dozen kilometers away. The fighting also stimulated the fighting spirit of the vast number of military workers, and the entire arsenal worked 24 hours a day, especially at night.

It should be a quiet night, with a crescent moon hanging high. Smoke billowed over the arsenal, and the roar of machinery shattered the silence of the night.

At the command of the army group, it was just as lively here!

"What good news! Two tons of explosives, compared to the painstaking airdrops of the superiors, the enemy airdropped more! Yevlov smoked excitedly, and his excitement was on his face!

Is there anyone who is not happy?

Now Salinchkin also personally went to the command of the army group to congratulate him, and he said happily: "What the deputy commander said is very right!" This time the enemy fell into our trap, and our troops managed to deceive them with a large amount of ammunition, so that it can also be inferred that their ammunition depot is likely to be flooded! In this way, I think we can liberate that city without any worries! ”

So saying, Salinchkin walked over to the wall and pointed to the point on the map of the region - Loyev.

"It's been a long time! If it weren't for the German air raids and rain, we would have liberated the city! ”

These words were addressed to Yang Mingzhi, and Salinchkin was obviously complaining, expressing some dissatisfaction to him, and urging him to act quickly.

Yang Mingzhi didn't want to pull out the nail of Loyev as soon as possible, so that all the settlements in the Everglades south of Gomel would be controlled by the Soviet army. The Soviets have wasted too much time, and the maneuvering with the Luftwaffe has also made the troops focus on air defense in the near future!

However, this matter is not bad, Yang Mingzhi has more time to plan how to liberate Loyev.

Now, his battle plan is quite mature.

Yang Mingzhi stood up with a smile, walked to the map wall with his hands behind his back, and let out a small exclamation: "This little Loyev City! We send a battalion and we can liberate it. ”

"What? A battalion? Your appetite is just great! ”

"Does Comrade Salinchkin not believe that our great Soviet Red Army will not be able to liberate this small city with only a few streets with only one battalion?"

How should Salinchkin answer? He was stunned for a moment, still not understanding what Berekov wanted to do, so he followed the words: "Okay! Our troops are indeed strong in combat, and since you are willing to send a battalion, act as soon as possible! Now that the Luftwaffe ammunition was flooded, the air pressure we faced plummeted. Besides, our army still has radar! ”

"That's true! But......" Yang Mingzhi tightened his mouth again, "But, I feel that one battalion is a bit less now. ”

"You're entertaining me?" Salinchin also tightened his mouth and glared at Yang Mingzhi beside him, "Now that it's over, you don't have to rub it any longer!" Look at your warriors, everyone is looking forward to attacking! ”

Of course, Yang Mingzhi knew that his subordinates would always support the attack, and the vast majority of the soldiers in the army were eager for the opportunity to defeat the enemy, and they were not afraid of death, even if they really died in battle, they would die on the road of charging.

The 63rd Army will not play any crowd tactics, and the troops have more advanced weapons, which can directly drop fire in a short period of time to instantly crush the enemy.

Yang Mingzhi faced his eager subordinates, who had come to the headquarters from various garrisons today to celebrate the seizure of a large amount of ammunition. It looks like the commander is going to give the order for a new military operation, and their eyes are like gas flames.

"Excellent! Seeing your expressions, I know the future battle, I don't have to worry about anything! ”

In this matter, Ravlendi took a step forward directly: "Commander! You just give the order, isn't it just a little Loyev?! I'll send out a battalion and take it for you! ”

"Phew! Our first regiment is not false! Roshakov patted his chest and assured, "I will also go out of a battalion and win with ease." ”

In this case, Tepnov did not want to miss it: "Has the battle become a kind of competition? I ask for our paratrooper brigade to fight! ”

These three regimental and brigade-level units have the most complete establishment and the strongest combat effectiveness, and they are the main force of the 63rd Group Army.

They were fighting one by one, and Yang Mingzhi noticed that there was an old guy, and he didn't say a word.

"Balzen, why don't you speak?"

"Commander! I'm thinking, it's hard for us to take the city with one battalion. ”

"Oh?" Yang Mingzhi narrowed his eyes, "It seems that you are very cautious, go on." ”

"Okay! Judging by the example of our army's capture of Slavdish, unless we raze the city to the ground, we can only engage in street battles with the defenders! In street fighting, our army did have an advantage, and even then, the casualties of the troops were very large. We can't expect Loyev's defenders to be all puppets, and besides, we don't know how many defenders there are in the city. Even we have no way of knowing what the Germans would have done if we had taken it with a battalion. I think it's likely that they'll send a lot of troops to take the city back! ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but be excited. He never expected that Balzen, who had shown himself as a reckless man, would be able to conduct such a rigorous analysis.

"It's rare! My comrade reconnaissance battalion commander! I'm the same as you think, the so-called liberation of a city by a battalion is nothing more than a beautiful idea! I think the best thing for us is to send a regiment of troops. The enemy can't deploy thousands of men in that small city! I think the enemy has only one battalion at most, and there may be puppet troops among them. We send a regiment of 2,000 men, and the strength and firepower are absolutely superior! That way, I don't have any worries. ”

"In that case! Then let's go together! Ralph Lianji, who was afraid that the opportunity would slip away, grabbed the conversation directly.

Now, not only the 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division, but also the commanders and deputy commanders of the various regiments present are fighting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to their regiments.

The so-called general is a nest of bears, Yang Mingzhi now has a reason to be called a famous general, and his subordinates are also well-known generals. The reason why a famous general is a famous general is that it is piled up one by one, and everyone is eager to make meritorious contributions and take revenge on the enemy.

Before the strategy and tactics in Yang Mingzhi's mind were officially announced, his subordinates recommended themselves one by one.

Yang Mingzhi stomped his feet: "Don't fight!" Give me all the quiet! ”

The noisy command quickly fell silent.

"I know, you all have strong combat effectiveness, and I can actually let anyone fight. However, let one regiment go up, the others will definitely not be happy! In that case, the 2nd Regiment, the 1st Regiment, and the Paratrooper Brigade, each of which has a battalion. And you, Balzen, your business joins it. The main attacking force of this battle is these four battalions, and you form a special infantry regiment. Well, it's Balzen who is the head of the regiment! ”

This order caused an uproar among those present, and no one was more shocked than Balzen!

"Commander! You made me the commander of this temporary infantry regiment?! I ......"

"What? Can't you do it yourself? Then I'll change to someone else! ”

"Don't! I can do it! Balzen stepped forward, "I will live up to your expectations!" ”
