Even more unexpectedly, Yevlov calmly pointed out: "I must pass through the position of the 715th Division that you blocked before on the marching route, and the five field guns were not brought back to the swamp, I brought them with me, these heavy weapons can be pulled by jeeps, they are in the ranks."

"So we still have field artillery to use?" Yang Mingzhi was already excited.

"That's right, there are still a hundred shells. In addition to this, the recoilless artillery shells I provide can also greatly strengthen the firepower of our troops, and I think it is more appropriate to blow them up with artillery fire before the general attack! ”

"yes, I think my plans need to be tweaked a little."

The soldiers prepared their armaments one after another, the battalion commanders explained the tasks, and the soldiers knew that today was most likely the day of the decisive battle.

Yang Mingzhi hoped to take out the enemy in one go, preferably destroying the enemy's defense line in a few hours. Now Yevlov has brought a lot of heavy equipment, especially field artillery, and the next battle will follow the old method of the Soviet army, and it would be beautiful to start with an artillery offensive.

The command was immediately established, and the commanders and deputy commanders of the 284 Guards Division gathered. At this moment, both of them have a gold star medal on their chests, and Yevlov received this honor for his meritorious service as the commander of the 284th Division against the enemy, but he himself felt that he deserved it.

Then this annihilation battle is a huge opportunity for him to obtain meritorious service, and he is more confident in serving as the main attacker.

He saw his deputy division commander and chief of staff Berekov, who had fine-tuned the offensive route map on the map with a pencil, and asked about it.

Yang Mingzhi also explained with a smile: "I have prepared the road for the enemy's retreat in the forest, they will not be stupid to advance in the forest, they must flee east along the clearing between the forests." If anyone enters the forest, our army will drive them back, and the enemy has no experience in forest warfare, and our army is simply the only strong man in the entire Soviet army system. ”

Yevlov nodded calmly, he was still very concerned about his frontal battle.

"The people I am leading now are mainly militiamen, and there are more than 1,000 female soldiers among them. I know that our women are not inferior to men in war, but I am still worried. Can the girls who fought the tough battle for the first time complete the task well? ”

Yang Mingzhi glanced at him and said, "Judging from the inherent prejudice, women are indeed embarrassing. But with tanks and artillery to help, I think our women will fight bravely. You only have to look at their expressions, as well as the performance of Camp Joshua and Camp Sashanova, to know that our women are strong! ”

Yevlov laughed, "If the two new battalions are really as heroic as their comrades, I will not be afraid of anything." ”

"Courage is one thing, and tactics are also a bit sophisticated." Yang Mingzhi said: "During the attack, the tanks opened the way in front, and the infantry lined up in columns to hide behind the tanks. The enemy doesn't have a recoilless gun, but they may have an RPG. So the front armor of the tank is piled up with some burlap bags full of dirt, and after marching to a certain distance from the position, it does not advance, and the task after that is left to the infantry to solve. ”

"Well, this tactic sounds effective, I'll inform Chekov right away."

Yang Mingzhi continued: "The attack of Comrade Division Commander has largely determined this operation, and we will surely win, and if you fight well, you can force the enemy to abandon his position and turn around and flee in a short time. So Doronin's artillery and most of the recoilless guns will also be yours. ”

"So you don't need these heavy weapons?" Yevlov asked in surprise.

"I need to be flexible, and it is enough to equip some small-caliber mortars and RPGs, such as the German goods captured in previous battles, which I am now equipping. You also know that thing, the rate of fire is fast, but the accuracy is much worse. Compared to the Japanese, the performance of the grenadier is much better. ”

"I know, legrw36, fifty millimeter caliber, we used it during the bloody battle in Kuta Town. The maximum range is 500 meters, how many doors do you have for this thing? ”

"I have twenty! There were twenty more shells on each level. Yang Mingzhi smiled very confidently.

At this time, Roshakov, who had been listening to the attack, was also in charge, "I also captured the German 50-mm small guns and 80-mm goods, and the enemy threw away a large amount of supplies and ammunition. I guess that Comrade Deputy Division Commander will definitely continue large-scale operations, and the delivery of ammunition in the rear is too slow, and the captured ones will be put into operation immediately. I have twice as many shells as the deputy division commander. ”

"That's great!" Excited, Yang Mingzhi patted Roshakov on the shoulder. "Now the firepower of our army has been greatly strengthened, and even a frontal attack can destroy the enemy, but the casualties of the artillery after the infantry scattered line charge are still too large, and what we have to do is to completely annihilate the enemy with minimal casualties. Now that we have the firepower and smarter tactics, the battle is taking place today! ”

"Then let's fight! My fighters can't wait! Roshakov said.

Seeing this, Yevlov knew that Yang Mingzhi had made up his mind, so he stood up and said, "I agree to start a full-scale war today." ”

"Well, the attack will start at twelve o'clock at noon, so let's start preparing now. First, let's check the table. ”

The offensive line has long been decided, and the next question is the timing of the offensive from all directions. Yevlov took the lead in the attack, the artillery attack began at half past eleven, and the main attack at twelve o'clock. The troops of Roshakov and Yang Mingzhi began from two other directions, at 12:15.

All battalion commanders were urgently assembled, and the battle order was immediately issued.

Their faces were full of excitement, but there was also a hint of nervousness before the battle, in short, the mood was very complicated.

As for the soldiers, they all know that they are creating history, this time the battle that has been fought for a long time has gathered all the combat forces of the 284th Division, and the next battle is a decisive battle, even if it is worth sacrificing.

As a Soviet soldier, it is common to face death, and it makes sense to die even if you die. Seeing the addition of various artillery pieces and even tanks to the troops, the self-confidence of the soldiers has increased unprecedentedly, and the proportion of casualties in this battle is destined to be much smaller.

Yevlov brought new ammunition, and Roshakov distributed the captured ammunition to fighters armed with German machine guns. The RPG shooters who lost their pellets replenished their ammunition, and the recoilless gun group also gained great self-confidence.

It was already half past nine o'clock, and Balzen's reconnaissance company with radio was still watching the enemy's every move, and by the way, he had eliminated the enemy who had rashly entered the forest to search. The assassination was silent, but it also began to arouse Wolf's alarm, because the people who went to investigate last night had not returned at dawn, and they got lost because of the magnetic field here?

Wolfe feared that the Soviets would come in time to fight him, and the scouts sent out had been missing for several hours, and attempts to contact the radio they were carrying had gone silent, which was a bad omen.

Therefore, as Balzen held a telescope to detect the frequent movement of the enemy's personnel, he hurriedly sent a report: "The enemy may have noticed something, and they have begun to strengthen their defenses." ”

Yang Mingzhi realized that the enemy might have sensed the presence of the Soviet army, or was it the sixth sense of its commander? In short, they are acting, so they must act.

Yang Mingzhi and Roshakov immediately took action, and the two led their troops to bid farewell to Yevlov, and all the soldiers marched through the forest in a hurry, marching towards their destination.

The tide of battle was always sudden, and Yevlov, having adapted to the "fast pace" of his old friend, finally gathered his troops, and more than 2,000 men began to advance with the tank units.

Only Doronin remained in place, and as a veteran artilleryman, he operated five field guns, the trajectory had been calculated, and the shells were flat beside the gun emplacements, and a total of fifty artillerymen were ready to pour fire on the enemy position.

He finally assured Yevlov: "The radio is ready, we will be completely at the mercy of the dispatch, and our shells will fall wherever you point." ”

"What I want is your self-confidence!" Yevlov smiled and saluted, and then thought about the advance of the enemy position. (To be continued.) )
