Chapter 1192: One More Airdrop (2)

A dexterous figure, carrying the translated and significant message, hurried into the headquarters office, interrupting the three people who were talking around the map.

"Report to Comrade Commander! An urgent telegram from the command of the Front! ”

As soon as he heard that word, Yang Mingzhi was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and he suddenly turned around and saw Peria's small body, as well as the telegram she held in her hand.

Yang Mingzhi made a look, and after the girl arrived, she saluted again, and turned around lightly to return to her communication room.

Hehe, this girl is getting better and better!

There was no time to sigh too much, and he and the other two were anxious to find out what the message was.

The message is not long, but its content is very powerful!

Yevlov immediately rejoiced: "I really can't imagine that the commander of our front finally thought of my order!" He didn't ask us to attack that target, but instead sent us new provisions! One more airdrop, and our strength continues to increase. ”

"That's the best! But you don't see the text well. "Yang Mingzhi was also very excited at first, and after reading the words one by one, he realized that the scale of the so-called airdrop from his superiors was too small." With only five planes put in by the superiors, how much supplies can be delivered? ”

"It's better than nothing!" Fuming sighed, "Even if it is five planes, all of them are fully loaded with bullets, it is enough for us to consume for a while!" ”

This telegram was only the beginning, not to mention the fact that the telegrams from the headquarters of the front army were transmitted one after another, and their content became more and more exciting.

Of course, Timoshenko did not mention in the telegram that the command of the Front was going to retreat to Luhansk, and they never even indicated the exact location of the command. The Soviets were very worried that the Germans were listening to Soviet communications and deciphering the codes. Whether the current double encryption password of the Soviet army is absolutely secret, no one dares to pack a ticket. The Germans, of course, took the work of listening, and they have not yet deciphered the code of this version.

Thus, regarding the situation at the front, the guerrilla republics received information that the operational objectives required by the campaign could no longer be achieved, part of the participating units were encircled, and the main forces of the Southwestern Front and the Southern Front began to retreat.

These information came from TASS telecommunications to the world, which were deliberately released by the Soviet authorities and at the will of Stalin. In the current situation of the Soviet Union, it is certainly possible to persist in a long war, but this will shed too much blood in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union needed international assistance, so the Soviet Union had no intention of covering up the defeat in this campaign, and sought to show the aggressive momentum of the Axis powers, so that the global anti-fascist forces could truly unite and help the Soviet Union.

At this point in the battle, Yang Mingzhi and the others naturally didn't have the heart to ask about the current situation of the Southwest Front Army, in short, it was very bad.

It's just that they actually want to launch an airdrop, which is doubly surprising.

The telegrams were sent at Tupikov's request, both because he was in charge of them, and because he intended to help the troops in the swamps.

As early as May 30, a telegram reached the communications room of the command of the Southwestern Front. In this large room, dozens of correspondents worked, and the sound of telegrams was incessant. After a large number of telegrams arrived, professionals classified them, the most important of which was the information sent by the troops on the front.

In these telegrams, Tupikov himself saw the telegrams of the 63rd Army, the content of which was as special as ever.

The sulphur mines of the so-called guerrilla republics were bombed by the Germans, causing huge losses to prisoners of war and troops, or disrupting future weapons manufacturing. The troops relied on an anti-aircraft machine gun modified by Commander Berekov to shoot down three German aircraft......

The telegram truthfully reported what happened to the 63rd Group Army on 30 May, and it was a common practice to report to the higher authorities whenever there was a major incident. This information revealed a number of problems, such as the fact that they were mining with prisoners of war, and always produced weapons themselves, and Berekov even developed an anti-aircraft machine gun, and achieved results. And the German army also dispatched the air force, and being targeted by the German air force can only show that the 63rd Army is no longer what it used to be.

He had to ponder carefully, the so-called rocket artillery flying 40 kilometers shelled Chernihiv, I wonder if this is true! Berekov, he can even build an anti-aircraft machine gun, what else can't he build ?!

However, they still suffered huge losses in the air raids, and there will be air raids in the future, so on the list of airdropped goods, five Deshka heavy machine guns and 40,000 rounds of ammunition are impressively listed.

The airdrop list was immediately sent:

Mosin Nagant rifle cartridges: 600 standard wooden boxes, 528,000 rounds of ammunition

Tokarev pistol cartridges: 100 standard wooden boxes, 180000 rounds of ammunition

Deshka heavy machine gun ammunition: 200 standard wooden boxes, 40,000 rounds of ammunition

5,000 anti-tank ammunition, 1,000 82-mm mortar shells, 500 rocket-boosted grenades (including matching launchers), and 5 Deshka heavy machine guns.

Compared to the last airdrop, the amount of supplies this time is simply shabby, and as far as the list is concerned, it is all weapons and ammunition.

After receiving this list, the topic of the meeting completely changed to the reception of future airdrops. While ammunition is essential to the sustained operation of the troops, the troops also need something new.

"It seems that the superiors understand our distress, and my telegram is not gray!" At this time, Yevlov looked relieved.

Yang Mingzhi was a little puzzled and asked, "Bitter? Did you send a telegram to your superiors? How did I not know? ”

"It was sent yesterday, and you were still supervising the mine at the time! When the higher-ups learned that we had been hit by an airstrike, they couldn't have imagined that they would act so quickly. We will get ten specialized anti-aircraft machine guns, and in the future, the air defense of our army will increase significantly! ”

Fuming also agreed: "The Deshka heavy machine gun is actually an anti-aircraft machine gun. Comrade Berekov, soon we will have 10 of these weapons, as well as tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and with these heavy weapons, the sky will be worry-free! ”

"Yes, we see a lack of ammunition, especially Soviet-made bullets. With this airdrop from the superiors, it can alleviate the ammunition problem of our army for a while. It's so bad, I thought the troops were going to be gradually demechanized! We don't have enough rifle and pistol cartridges in stock! ”

Having said that, Yang Mingzhi did not show too much excitement, but his expression was a little hesitant.

Fumin couldn't help asking: "Comrade Berekov, you seem to be thinking about something else. ”

"Well, you found out. I was thinking about something. ”

"Oh? What's up. ”

"It's a piece of military equipment, although it's not a weapon, but it's a huge help to our air defense, but I don't know, our superiors can provide it urgently!"

"What the hell, don't you say so vaguely?!" Yevlov urged.

"It's radar!" Yang Mingzhi slapped the table violently, glaring at his old friend with both eyes: "Yevlov, I have always dreamed of getting radar, and even the core components in it, I am very satisfied." If we had radar, we would have been able to detect movements in the sky dozens of kilometers away, and the serious loss of human life we had suffered would not have happened! ”

Yevlov was a little stunned by this: "Yes! Since it is such a good thing, we hurry up to ask our superiors! ”
