Chapter 1084: Intelligence on the Tongue
Tokov obeyed the commander's orders, and he and his brothers floated in the grass and almost laughed.
A platoon leader leaned over and mocked: "Romanians don't want to sleep comfortably tonight, these stupid people are mentally exhausted by our army, and we better eliminate them!" ”
"Of course! Let's put another row of guns and leave! ”
Then, another dense burst of gunfire came from the forest. Although there was an order to stop shooting, this sudden gunfire still greatly stimulated Luo Jun's nerves. The soldiers did not obey the regimental commander's orders, and reflexively poured a round of bullets in the direction from which the sound came, until reason prevailed.
After such an experience, Luo Jun's good dreams could no longer be carried on, the soldiers' eyes widened like copper bells, and many people trembled with excitement. Sleep peacefully in a foxhole? Bah! Who knows if it's a foxhole or a grave dug in advance! The Russians could come and rob the camp at any time.
The harassment war ended and Tokov was ordered to evacuate. His warriors were in a good mood, and there would never be any enemies going west, so Tokov, in order to return to Slavzich as soon as possible, simply ordered everyone to get out of the forest and lead the grass on the south side of the road!
It's just that the sharp-eyed warriors still saw the shaking figures in front of them!
Who are they?
Tokov immediately ordered the fighters to stop and lay down in the grass.
He kept muttering in his heart: "It shouldn't be! The commander didn't let the other troops come to scout again! We are the only ones. ”
"Company commander, I wonder if this is the enemy! Is it their scout? In short, this is definitely not our people! ”
The platoon commander's words gave Tokov a wake-up call, and he temporarily ordered the soldiers to stay put.
In the grass, a pair of eyes stared at the crowd hurrying eastward, the visibility was too low, but the shining reflection of the steel helmets of these people in the perfect sunlight of the moonlight was very chic.
Tokov understood perfectly well what he realized!
"Damn! These guys must be Romanians! Brethren, fire! ”
It can be said that the reconnaissance company of the Luo army is really exhausted, they really did not dare to go to Slavzich to reconnoiter because of their cowardice, they only want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but they found that the fierce gunfire and beautiful tracer bullets on the other side of the camp, they no longer have any reason to hide. The company commander had planned to go back tomorrow to report that everything was safe, but this wishful thinking had to be changed.
The commander of the Luo army company led his troops to retreat, and there was no vigilance.
Against such unsuspecting troops, Tokov really had the right time and place. Rifles and submachine guns fired one after another, and fierce tongues of fire erupted from the grass, and the black shadows of the target were all hit.
The sudden outbreak of gunfire broke the morale of the reconnaissance company of the Romanian army, and they rushed onto the flat road and rushed towards the east without caring about the fallen ones.
After all, this is a shootout in the night, there is almost no aiming, and the concentration depends on the density of the barrage. There was no doubt that the submachine guns widely equipped by the Soviet army had the upper hand, and Tokov did not suffer even a single casualty, and he drove the enemy away.
"Brethren, let's not pursue, let's go look at the dead bodies of the enemy, and find one or two alive to bring back!"
Tokov never thought that this harassment war would still catch the "tongue", he did catch two.
These are two guys who have been shot in the arm, and the pain they forget is so intense that they forget. The wounded soldier wept and wailed bitterly in words he did not understand, and Tokov estimated that it was Romanian, and that few people in the entire partisan republic understood Romanian, and the commander could not understand it. In this way, the value of the captives is greatly reduced.
Adhering to the principle that something is better than nothing, and that the windfall should not be lost, he ordered his soldiers to use the traditional method of pain relief - using the butt of a gun to knock the enemy unconscious.
Then, after a simple bandage, four soldiers carried their limbs like a fat pig, and ran towards Slavdzich. They also did not forget to collect the weapons and ammunition of the dead bodies, especially those German-made steel helmets, which were after all a certificate of reward for their military exploits.
So, when Tokov quickly ran back, Yang Mingzhi was full of anticipation. He heard a total of five rounds of gunfire, and the enemy was still afraid that he was still sitting on pins and needles, and his own side was a little embarrassed and excited and couldn't sleep.
The company commander, who had rich combat experience, stood in front of Yang Mingzhi and asked, "The operation is going well!" Is the enemy particularly nervous? ”
"That's right! They are simply crazy, the green tracer bullets are very gorgeous, I really don't know how many bullets they shoot, I really don't know that these enemies don't think about logistics? ”
"Maybe they're crazy!" Yang Mingzhi patted Tokov's shoulder with satisfaction, "This time you have made meritorious contributions to the reconnaissance battalion, now you can rest!" ”
After that, Yang Mingzhi was just about to leave, but Tokov still said loudly with joy: "Comrade commander! This time we have a bonus! ”
"Oh?" Yang Mingzhi hurriedly turned around.
"That's right! It's a prisoner of war! We encountered enemy scouts during the retreat, and this is probably the fifth burst of gunfire you heard. ”
As soon as he said that there were prisoners of war, Yang Mingzhi was ecstatic: "Quick! Crush the captives! Also, I need a translator who can speak Romanian! ”
Guard Abram was a little confused, he leaned over to Yang Mingzhi's side, and muttered, "Sir! I don't think we have anyone here who speaks Romanian! I don't know who to inform of your orders! ”
"Oops, I forgot this!" Yang Mingzhi stomped his feet suddenly, "Since there is no translator, what do I ask the captive?" Tokov, I'm glad you did, it's just that such captives are of no use, so don't bring them here. ”
"Nope! Maybe we still have a way! Tokov continued: "You can order the officers and ask if there are Ukrainians in the ranks, especially the inhabitants of western Ukraine, which is very close to Romania and who may know some Romanian. ”
"It's a way!"
Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to give it a try, and all battalions were notified, and to look for soldiers in his unit who could speak Romanian, even if they knew a little, they had to come and report.
Soviets often do not have that kind of subtle and modest character, especially as soldiers, they are very willing to show themselves in front of their superiors, which is an important way to get honor!
The good news came quickly.
Tepinov assigned five fighters to quickly pass through the empty ruins of the city and reach the wooded area where the command headquarters on the other side was located.
The five soldiers stood before the commander and claimed to know Romanian, and the interrogation of the captives began.
Tokov brought back two prisoners of war, one of whom died of blood loss, and the other in a better condition.
Most soldiers would not let go when they were given the opportunity to live, and the same was true for this prisoner of war. He was promised that the Romanians, unlike the Germans, would spare their lives if they gave what they knew.
Whether it was a hoax or a real promise, the soldier really didn't want to die, and he decisively made it clear about Bovinescu and the Infantry Regiment and the 6th Infantry Division. It's just that after all, he is only a first-class soldier, how can he understand the various plans of the officer's top brass?
He stammered about the battle during this time, and at the end, he asked, "Is this ...... Is this Slavzich? ”
Yang Mingzhi motioned to his own people: "Tell him that this is Slavzich." ”
At this point, the prisoner of war suddenly fell silent, and he held back for more than ten seconds and asked; "I know a piece of information that you must be interested in! If I say it, will you really spare my life? ”
After listening to the translation, Yang Mingzhi's eyes lit up, he motioned to the soldiers to loosen the prisoners of war, and deliberately sent someone to put a lit cigarette on him.
This did reassure the captive, and he took a few beautiful sipes and said, "Our regiment is only 1,900 men, and we have received a death order that we must arrive in this city at noon on May 20. You Russians are here, and we will attack the city. If you're not here, we'll just go in and announce the republication! ”
This situation was somewhat unexpected by Yang Mingzhi, and he immediately asked; "If we hold out in the city, what if you can't take it? Do you want to continue the assault? ”
"Nope! Our large forces will arrive this afternoon, especially our heavy artillery! ”
"How many people are in your army?"
"There are three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a logistics regiment, about nine thousand people!"
"This is really an infantry division!" Yang Mingzhi could not fully believe this prisoner of war, but fortunately Miroshniko did not leave, and he immediately invited him.
After a comparison of what the two knew, many of the contents were consistent, until here, Yang Mingzhi finally made a judgment - after dawn, an infantry regiment of the Romanian army will enter Slavdish, and the big battle will begin!
