"Looks like you've guessed it!" Yang Mingzhi replied confidently, "I won't tell you the history of our army's battle with the First Armored Division of the Luo Army last year, in short, my soldiers and I are not only not afraid of the Luo army, but also eager to fight with them!" These stupid Romanians, as long as they dare to go to Slavtish, then destroy them! How can this group of enemies who have sent us weapons and ammunition spare them? ”

"But! Doesn't this disobey the orders of the superiors? Is that really good? ”

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "Our Comrade Ponomarenko is not in Belarus, let alone Ukraine, he knows too little about the war situation here!" It's like he ordered our army to liberate Slavdish, but he didn't know that the target of the Romanian army was also this city! You say, can we, the Soviet Red Army, abandon the cities that have already been liberated? ”

"Can't! This absolutely can't! Miroshniko replied without thinking.

Because Stalin and the Military Council had already ordered the Soviet troops defending the cities to fight to the end with the fascist invaders, and the people were in the cities! And the liberated city must also strengthen the city defenses, if anyone dares to choose to retreat under the pressure of the enemy, the end is shooting!

Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction: "So, how can we retreat?" I will follow the orders of my superiors and send your guerrilla brigade across the river properly, this process is very safe, you can rest assured! As for the work of defending the city, this is the business of our 63rd Army! According to my plan, you will rest until eight o'clock tomorrow morning and then leave, and I will send a capable officer to escort you away!" ”

Evacuate to a stable place Miroshniko couldn't ask for it, but he was moved by Yang Mingzhi's words!

"Comrade Lieutenant General! I take the liberty of asking, how many troops do you have? I'm sure you can defeat the Luo army, but I'm also very worried about the excessive casualties of our fighters! If I don't mind, I'd like to send some of my troops to fight together! After all, this is also an order from the superiors, Comrade Lieutenant General, from tonight, our 17th Guerrilla Brigade will be incorporated into the battle sequence of the 63rd Army, which means that I and the soldiers are your subordinates. ”

As he spoke, Miroshniko stood up abruptly and raised his hands in salute.

"Sit down!" Yang Mingzhi paused and said, "I have ordered the entire guerrilla republic to enter a state of combat readiness, and the number of troops that our army can put into battle is more than that of the Luo army!" There are currently more than 5,000 troops in this city, and these are elite troops! In terms of combat effectiveness alone, I think it is also stronger than a fully formed infantry division of the Luo Army! We're enough to defeat the enemy, and you'll be able to retreat to the swamp with confidence! I know you're eager to fight and want revenge, but your warriors are so weak, and their weapons and equipment are not as good as ours! In my opinion, you should go back and recuperate, and your guerrilla brigade will have a new look in the future! ”

"But! I ......"

"Are you unwilling?" Yang Mingzhi was a little impatient, he yawned loudly, and said, "It's too late, the sun will rise in more than two hours!" You and your people must be evacuated after dawn, and if you are really unwilling, then continue to tell me about the information of the Luo army. For example, where is the vanguard of their pursuit of you now, the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Luo army, and the situation of their heavy weapons! ”

"Okay!" Miroshniko sighed helplessly, "I know all this, the details of the weapons and equipment of the Romanian army, and even the composition of their field military rations. Especially the marching habits of the recent Luo army, and the position of the recent Luo army! I can be sure that they will not continue their march until after dawn, and if you send a reconnaissance force into the outskirts of the forest, you will have to find the traces of the Luo army as early as noon tomorrow! Those guys are really getting slower and slower in their pursuit. ”

Knowing that he knows that he will win all battles, Yang Mingzhi certainly looks down on the Romanians, and it is absolutely impossible for these guys to consciously throw away weapons, ammunition and other baggage, especially to take off their shoes and clothes, leaving only a pair of white underwear. To obtain these precious materials, you can only ask for their lives first, or directly force them to surrender with bayonets!

After Miroshniko's detailed explanation, Yang Mingzhi quickly understood the weapons and equipment of this Luo army.

The ordinary soldiers of this Romanian army were only equipped with ordinary Czech rifles, and the bullets used were common to the German army. There was a shortage of machine guns in its field troops, and ordinary infantry battalions and general infantry platoons had only one ZB26 light machine gun and one 60 mm mortar. Only the battalion fire reinforcement company has 16 machine guns, two of which are heavy machine guns, and the artillery is also four 81.4 mm mortars.

This firepower configuration and the German army must be really terrible, after all, the German army has a powerful MG34 in one squad. For such a large-scale RPG unit under Yang Mingzhi, the disadvantage in firepower is too great.

So Miroshniko gave a very bad assessment of the Romanian army: "Their equipment is inferior to that of regular Red Army units, and their army coordination is not good. The Romanian army had some heavy artillery units, but when they pursued us, our army never encountered heavy artillery bombardment! I can be sure that the enemy's lightly armed troops have left their baggage and heavily armed units far behind! ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction, which was about the same as he estimated.

Miroshniko continued: "The enemy who pursued us did not have many troops, and they did not have heavy weapons! They'll also arrive in the forest quickly, and if you were to lead your troops into battle with them, you should be able to defeat them! However, I am still worried that if a large number of enemy forces arrive, if they attack on a large scale, our troops will be able to stop it. ”

Yang Mingzhi muttered in his heart that he would definitely be able to defeat Luo Jun, and he would be defeated by killing. He responded, "Good! I thank you for your advice. Romanians should reach the edge of the forest around noon today! Your intelligence is important, and I will take the necessary measures soon. ”

"Okay, that's all I can give!" Miroshniko changed his words: "So what are you going to do with us?" I'm two thousand nine hundred, everyone is hungry and tired, and I want to figure out the most, how did you send us across the Dnieper? ”

"You don't have to worry about crossing the river, your men will have a full meal after daybreak, and I will send troops to escort you to the crossing of Missy. We have a large number of boats and rafts at this crossing, and it may only take two hours for your people to cross the river. ”

"What? Two hours? That's the Dnieper! ”

Miroshniko looked suspicious, but Yang Mingzhi asked rhetorically: "Do you still want to question it?" How long do you think it took us more than 5,000 people to cross the river? Did you swim?! ”

Yang Mingzhi tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "Your retreat arrangements are very simple, you just need to bring your people to the ferry, and the reserve troops we are waiting there have already prepared a large amount of food and other supplies!" Besides, the booty we have captured in this city will also be properly transported back. Rest assured, I can guarantee that by the time the sun goes down, your 2,000-strong people will be in absolute safety! ”

Is there any reason not to believe it? Miroshniko really only wanted to put an end to this hasty escape, the general had already prepared the back route of the partisan brigade, as long as he listened to his orders, the guerrilla brigade would be absolutely safe!

That's a great thing!

But Miroshniko pondered for a moment, and his sense of honor and revenge made him feel that he should not have withdrawn so easily.

He boldly suggested: "Comrade General! I'm confident that you'll be able to get my people to safety. I have one more request right now. ”

"Oh? You said! ”

"I want to stay!"

"What? Are you staying? Yang Mingzhi was shocked: "You are the commander of the guerrilla brigade, you should be with your own troops and lead them to the safe zone!" ”
