Chapter 1053: The Soviet Army Ran and the Luo Army Chased

In the eyes of the majority of soldiers, especially the paratroopers, why did their commander suddenly look lazy, could it be that he was sick?

Tapunov and other officers gathered in front of Yang Mingzhi's bunk early in the morning, and they made some noise, which woke him up again when he was back asleep.

"Hey! What's going on? Is it already noon? ”

Tepunov said cautiously: "Commander, it's already dawn!" The comrades were packing their bags, checking their weapons and ammunition, and having breakfast, and I thought, are we going to leave soon? ”

"Go? No! Not anymore! Yang Mingzhi still looked lazy, he sat up cross-legged, "Pass my order, the task of the troops today is to recharge and prepare for the night attack at night." At three o'clock in the afternoon, we will go to Slavdzich again! ”

Tepunov was a little anxious, and his attitude became serious: "Commander, the reconnaissance battalion has already set off!" Do we keep up with them! I think we'll be able to get there in the daytime! ”

"Let's go according to the plan!" Yang Mingzhi was a little dismissive, "Don't suggest it anymore!" Execute the command! ”

Yang Mingzhi didn't have the heart to explain to him, first, he had the right to refuse to explain, and second, he simply wanted to sleep for a while.

He does have a reason to go to the so-called grinding, after all, the probability of yesterday's encounter is very high! Moreover, yesterday it was an encounter in which more than 40 elite soldiers were sacrificed, and the enemy only eliminated 12, and the Soviet army suffered a loss in this encounter!

The troops can't go hard, and if they attack their preset positions during the day, it's bad! Or wait until the night to take it in one go.

On the other hand, the city of Slavdzich stupidly waited for the Soviet army to sweep through here?

How is this possible!

In fact, the police battalion of Ukrainians stationed in this city received an order from their superiors a few days ago!

The 17th partisan brigade did dispatch more than five thousand men, they attacked Gorodnia, and the joint encirclement and suppression carried out by the German and Romanian troops achieved great results, but unfortunately the remnants of those guys still broke out of the encirclement and obviously fled in the southwest direction of the city of Chernihiv!

In this way, the military pressure of the forest city of Slavdzich suddenly became serious, after all, those guerrillas still had to seek refuge in the forest!

Even if the Germans complained that the Luo army did not block this group of enemies, it was already an established fact that the enemy successfully broke through, and all that remained was how to encircle and suppress them! If they were allowed to flee into the forest again, the pressure of encirclement and suppression would be greater.

There is a lack of German defenders in this area, and there are many puppet troops! They already knew the number of the Soviet partisan detachment, and they could conclude from the counting of the corpses that the enemy had suffered great losses. Although it was not completely annihilated, its strength suffered a heavy setback, and the threat to the German army was greatly reduced.

It was not cost-effective to continue to dispatch a large amount of manpower and material resources, so the German 634th Division decisively used a little trick.

The German division commander resorted to agitation, first satirizing the negligence of the Romanian army to let the enemy escape, and he knew that the Romanians were also annoyed. Therefore, the glorious mission of exterminating the remnants of the enemy and finally destroying the 17th Soviet Guerrilla Brigade was handed over to the Romanian army.

This is completely an act of letting friendly troops and guerrillas stumble, and Luo Jun gladly accepts it in order to defend his honor! After all, the 6th Division of the Romanian Army made a fool of itself in front of the Germans! With such a gesture, will they be able to end the rest and go south to the Crimea? "I will only have confidence in you until you have killed that Russian brigade!" So was the order of the commander of the Third Army of the Romanian Army.

In this way, the Romanian army followed the trail of the 17th partisan brigade and began to advance towards the forest west of Chernihiv.

The Romanian army was already severely short of vehicles, and almost all of their supplies were transported by mules and horses. A large number of wagons were still in the city, letting go of the enemy's Luo army, and had to pursue them with an incomplete flight preparation and two legs. As a result, the Romanian army had to advance lightly, and its combat capability also declined seriously.

Most of their soldiers were armed with Czech rifles and machine guns, and some were armed with Romanian-developed submachine guns. Their grassroots soldiers are also wearing German steel helmets, and their uniforms are very similar to them, at first glance, this is clearly a German infantry unit!

The Germans usually acted quickly, but the Romanians were much inferior. Their soldiers did not have the enthusiasm of the Germans to "build Greater Germany", but simply obeyed orders. They swore allegiance to King Mihai, and the vast number of soldiers did not care about the Antonescu clique's control of the country, or even whether this war was justified by their fate.

They just want to live! When the Germans defeated the Soviet Union, as promised, and Romania gained vast new territory in right-bank Ukraine outside Kiev, the war was over for Romania.

The Luo army pursued with great arrogance.

The commander of the 17th partisan brigade of the Soviet army, Miroshniko, knew very well. There are still nearly 3,000 people left under his command, of which 2,000 are armed with weapons, but there is a shortage of food and ammunition, and the troops are on the verge of collapse.

The guerrilla brigade lost most of its baggage and manpower, and those people, of course, were killed by the enemy with a tragic fate. The enemy did this, and the only good thing was to strengthen the belief in the survival of the living.

Of the few supplies available, an old telegraph was still in use. It only has two batteries, and the same old hand-cranked generator keeps it powered.

They turned to their superiors for help and learned that reinforcements were on their way, giving hope to the entire brigade.

The destination of the retreat is the forest city of Slavdish, and the reinforcements plan to send 5,000 troops, and it will be easy to take it!

The situation was so delicate that at the critical moment, the Germans deliberately conserved their strength, and the "honor" seemed to be handed over to the Romanians, who watched from the sidelines to see how friendly forces could end up fighting the Soviet partisans.

And because Slavdych received the order early, more than 500 people here immediately began to work on the defense of the city!

This police battalion composed of Ukrainians, they wore pure black uniforms, German steel helmets on their heads, and all weapons and equipment were Soviet.

The German infantry was basically ten people serving a general-purpose machine gun, except for the machine gunner, and even the squad leader was armed with a rifle. This terrible situation would change in all kinds of street battles in the future, but for now, the German field infantry still fights in this mode.

The Germans are so, and the puppet army of the Ukrainians is even worse! They were armed with machine guns, light machine guns with 47 rounds of ammunition captured from the Soviets, and the battalion was armed with only one of six companies, each of which was armed with only one. The remaining 500 people were armed with bolt-action rifles, and this poor equipment also doomed them to poor combat effectiveness.

Such equipment is more than enough to deal with ordinary people and even worse equipped guerrillas, and if you face thousands of red-eyed guys, this equipment is too bad!

Therefore, the commander of the police battalion, Vasily Moyse, was extremely worried in his heart, and he received an order from the regiment commander to defend this Slavzich at any cost. When asked if there were any reinforcements, the regimental commander's answer was quite intriguing: "There are reinforcements, and when the Romanis enter the forest, they are your reinforcements." Therefore, no matter how aggressively the enemy attacks, you must defend to the death. ”

Moise decisively believed that the order of the regimental commander, which had been issued on 16 May, the day of the breakout of the guerrilla brigade, was a serious warning. From this day on, Moise immediately began to build the city's defenses, and the situation in front of him was very complicated. He and his brethren had no choice but to dig trenches, renovate their houses, and hope that the enemy would better not appear in the city, and that the Romanians would do their best to destroy them halfway! 2k reading web
