On the banks of the river, Balzen saw some white objects that followed the current and disappeared from time to time, could it be that they were the so-called corpses of German soldiers?

He carefully observed and found that some "white objects" had been pushed to the shore by the current in the winding river. A group of soldiers quickly ran to inspect it, only to see that the corpse had a hideous face, it had been killed by bullets, and a metal plaque was hanging around its neck.

They brought the dog tags back and everything was clear.

Balzen was a little sorry that he did not participate in the final attack, and he sighed slightly: "Alas, we have to take care of a large number of prisoners of war, and now our old friends have reaped all the credit!" ”

The first company commander shook his head: "Battalion commander, our credit is also great!" ”

"Call me the head of the regiment, I am still the head of the task force. Of course, after this battle, there will be no such establishment. I know you're talking about prisoners of war, too, a thousand prisoners, but unfortunately they were all traitors, and if they were all real Germans, our exploits would have gone down in the history books! ”

"Battalion commander...... No! Regiment commander, I need to report to the command headquarters, we have won this battle. Next, it is time for our closest force to Loyev to seize the opportunity to take the city. ”

"That's right!" Balzen stood up straight with a cleverness, "The commander's encirclement and reinforcements have been successful, and we will solve the final battle in ten minutes!" ”

As for the macro battlefield situation, Balzen did not understand, and even Yang Mingzhi could only speculate. Before Balzen intended to send a telegram, the distant command received a telegram from the paratrooper brigade, and then from Lavrenti and Roshakov.

The result of the battle made Yang Mingzhi and the others very satisfied, and the performance of the unparalleled gunboat was not amazing!

Who would have thought that the once belated gunboat would become a terrifying war machine?!

Yevlov could not hide the excitement in his heart, happily knocked on the table, and shouted: "Fomin, who is the captain of our river gunboat?!" This man has done a great job! ”

"I'll check it out! Mazzerafu, you hurry up and check the troop roster! ”

After all, there was only one gunboat, and the name of its captain was quickly found out.

It was a middle-aged man surnamed Smirnov, a militiaman himself who had assumed the position because of his experience in operating a sailboat.

"Smirnov, there are too many people with the surname this! Well, the 284th Division estimated that the gunboat had taken out at least five hundred enemies, flat to the heads of each boatman, and almost twenty people were eliminated each! Each of them is eligible for a medal! Berekov, what do you think? ”

Yang Mingzhi, who was staring at the map, stood up straight, his excitement put aside for the time being, and he took the time to look at the map to determine the next step.

Since Yevlov asked, he replied somewhat perfunctorily: "You can do whatever you want." When it comes to issuing medals, my attitude is very important, isn't your attitude equally important? Just follow the previous rules, reward meritorious soldiers, and let Comrade Salinchkin study this matter. After all, the issuance of medals must be recorded. ”

Yevlov shook his head: "It seems that you are absent-minded about this." ”

"Nonsense!" Yang Mingzhi turned his head and stared at his big eyes: "Is the battle over?" We just eliminated one of the enemy's support armies, and who can guarantee that there will not be a second? We still need to keep fighting. ”

"What? Can the Germans send new reinforcements?! Yevlov suddenly stood up and walked to Yang Mingzhi's side.

"Dear Deputy Commander, don't be surprised. I can only say that it was possible for the Germans to send new reinforcements. ”

"How so? More than an hour earlier, Balzen had sent a telegram claiming that they had captured a thousand traitors, and from the traitors it was learned that the enemy who entered the battle was two regiments and a temporary tank battalion of up to five thousand men! Is the enemy's human resources monsters, how many five thousand people do they take to die! Yes! That's 5,000 people! As he spoke, Yevlov giggled, and he patted the old fellow on the shoulder: "Dear Davarich, speaking of medals, you have to get a lot of new medals for this merit." ”

"You're still thinking about the medal?" Yang Mingzhi smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly, the young communicator ran to the headquarters with another message in his hand.

"Report! Scout battalion emergency electricity! ”

"Bring it!" Yevlov urged.

On the telegram, Balzen had only one application, that is, the enemy's reinforcements were all wiped out, and it was time for the task force closest to Loyev to take Loyev in one fell swoop and bring the battle to an end.

"Berekov, how's it going? Your siege tactics have been a huge success, and now it's time to take Loyev down. ”

"No! It's too early! ”

Yang Mingzhi shook his head and pointed to Loyev's location on the map: "Yevlov, this is what I just wanted to tell you. Don't you want to destroy more enemies? ”

"Of course I do! There is no doubt about it, I can't wait to liberate Mozyr and Gomel at once, and counterattack all the way to Minsk! ”

"All of this will be possible in the future, but not today. This little Loyev, who still has some tired enemies in the city, is as easy to capture as it is to pinch an ant to death. But we can't move it at once, we just don't liberate Loyev, so the enemy is humiliated, and it is inevitable to send troops to save it. We'll repeat today's victory a few more times, so that we can trick the shrinking enemy out and drain as much of its living strength as possible. ”

Yevlov trembled when he heard this, he was so excited that he muttered: "Berekov, your means...... The means are really vicious. Next, let's continue to arrange according to your vision, I fully support it. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, and immediately gave an order to the waiting signal corps: "You immediately inform the task force that the command rejects their request to capture Loyev, and I ask them to continue the siege and wait for further orders." ”

The signal corps will quickly leave, and the orders of the command will also quickly reach the front.

The Germans are newly defeated, and even if there is a second round of reinforcements, they will definitely not be killed in an instant. Besides, it is still unknown whether the so-called new reinforcements of the German army exist, and Yang Mingzhi, with his long-term experience in fighting against the German army, believes that the German army will never give up.

At this point in the battle, only about 200 men of the German Quetzal regiment landed on the shore and began the arduous return journey, and the remaining 2,000 men were basically dead. The situation in the police regiment was somewhat better, a thousand people surrendered with their hands raised, and the Soviets, taking into account the importance of human resources, did not simply shoot.

After the various units ended the battle, they quickly began to clean up the battlefield.

After all, they eliminated two regiments of the enemy, and the capture was not insignificant. After a simple list, more than 2,000 javelins and more than 100 machine guns were captured. The weapons were not damaged in battle, but in terms of capture, the Soviets were not too excited.

Because the troops did not capture much ammunition, you must know that the barrage Xu Jin made by the Soviet army during the offensive was quite ammunition-consuming. In previous battles, when the battle was won, the Soviets were able to capture a lot of unused ammunition from the enemy, but this time because it was found that the enemy's camp was blown up by rocket artillery, and some of the enemy's reserve ammunition was damaged or destroyed.

In the end, the Soviet army captured only 150,000 rounds of ammunition, which is really too little compared to the consumption of the Soviet army!

By the afternoon of that day, the Soviets had already begun to pack and transport the spoils of war, and the cavalry units of Little Volmansky quickly turned into baggage soldiers. The captured rifles were packed into bundles and hung on horses, and the cavalry marched with booty to the Homnich station. The gunboats that had made great achievements were now also turned into transport ships, but they mainly transported the wounded.

In the battle on June 26, the overall casualties of the Soviet army also reached 500, of which more than 200 were killed on the spot and more than 50 were seriously wounded. As for the lightly wounded, most of them were shot in the limbs, and after bandaging their wounds, they were transported to the forest camp of the task force and began their journey home in a wagon carrying supplies...... 2k reading web
