Chapter 142: You don't participate in this battle
Yang Mingzhi was under great pressure, and his superiors asked the 284th Division to take the initiative to destroy the Chenobi railway station in the southern part of the swamp.
He knew better than the Front command the significance of the town, which had been separated after the withdrawal of large forces into the swamps a few months earlier, and Kuznetsov led tens of thousands of men into the Cherobi and evacuated to the rear by train via the railway system here.
Cherobi is one such small city, built on the Dnieper River, with a small population, but it has become very important because of the presence of a railway station. A railway in Belarus leads to Kiev via Cheroby, and the city has a steel railway bridge.
Since the German army invaded Kyiv, the transportation center of Ukraine has been occupied by the German army, and they have taken advantage of the situation to occupy the Chenobi, the biggest purpose is to occupy the transportation resources here.
At this moment, after Kiev was occupied by the Germans, it quickly became the headquarters of the German Army Group South, taking into account the logistics supply center. The Germans swallowed up the Soviet defenders in Ukraine, taking 600,000 prisoners. Although the Germans had suffered heavy losses, they also knew the importance of a single blow, and they chose a new target, Moscow.
The order given by the commander of the Southwest Front to the 284th Division was very crazy, and the preparation time given to Yang Mingzhi and others was only three days, and the action had to be made in only three days, and the task had to be completed in order to send troops to attack Chenobi. "The headquarters is really crazy, do you think the new mission is easy to win because my unit has won a series of victories and crushed several large infantry regiments of the enemy in formation?" Yang Mingzhi slandered, but the order is like this, if the troops do not obey, it will be disobedience.
As a staff officer of the troops, Yang Mingzhi could only determine the battle plan by himself, and then he would come up with the plan and discuss it with everyone. Because of the limited time, I'm afraid those few people won't be meaningful.
It was already late at night, and Yang Mingzhi stayed at his home. Autumn nights are cool, and the air smells of earth. The land was silent, except for the sound of the wind and the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers. Several guards and soldiers at the gate were still standing guard, wearing the cotton clothes they had dropped from the air, and they couldn't help but yawn.
Yang Mingzhi sat straight at the table, carefully looking at the map, planning the battle.
"It's really funny, I was supposed to be planning the processing process in the arsenal, but now I look like a military strategist. I didn't go to military school for a day, and I just had all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge, which was simply a mud leg, and it seemed that he was still a mud leg who was born to fight. He laughed at himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, who called the performance so eye-catching, there was no expert in the entire army to command the operation, so he could only let himself, a foreigner, take the lead.
As far as the results are concerned, it is still a foreign monk who can chant the scriptures, and as a guerrilla war commander, he simply makes perfect use of the talent of the Chinese. Thinking of this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but be happy, and even laughed out loud.
"Brother! What are you laughing at? Star fruit, sitting cross-legged on the bed, couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, something else came to mind."
Carambola just knows that her husband is planning how to fight in the house, so don't interfere with him. This time, he continued to sew clothes, sewing patches on some damaged parts of his military uniform.
This is her own military uniform, and star fruit estimates that she must participate in this battle, get her military uniform ready, and then check her guns to continue on the battlefield.
But this is just her wishful thinking, and the star fruit actually hides some things, and it is difficult to escape her husband's eyes.
Yang Mingzhi has been fighting at night, and he found that his wife was not resting peacefully, which was very worrying. She sat cross-legged when she finished her needlework, staring at her big eyes and waiting, did she have to wait for herself to finish her work?
The battle plan already had some eyebrows, and since the order was to attack the small city of Chenobi, the core task was to paralyze its railway junction. There are many ways to do this.
The best way is to dig the railway station straight to the bottom, blow up all the locomotives, smash all the wagons, and blow up all the railways into sections. As for the enemy's living forces, of course, it is as much as it can be destroyed. However, the casualties in such a fight were bound to be very large, not to mention that Timoshenko just wanted to make a big incident in the enemy-occupied area, and he did not have time to consider the actual situation at all, so he gave the 284th Division an arduous task.
The army has more than 5,000 soldiers, of which more than 60% are regular troops, and the elite of them is only four battalions and 2,500 people.
After the airdrop, the warriors' weapons and ammunition were greatly replenished, and with a month's production in the blacksmith village, the equipment was better than the last attack on Kuta Town. However, after the last lesson, the strong offensive will inevitably suffer huge losses, that is, no matter how superior the equipment is, the equipment of the Soviet and German armies is not a generation difference, and the equipment of the 284th Division only has a slight advantage.
Will it be like last time, with hundreds of people killed and hundreds wounded? There are only so many fighters, how many people can fight after a few hard encounters?
"If you don't fight, like other troops, the soldiers dare to fight, and then they become cannon fodder in groups, so that after the end of the war, eight million soldiers were killed, and millions were missing."
The so-called good strategy, followed by the war, then the army, and the last siege. The art of war of the ancestors is very clear that if you storm a city, the attacking side will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and then the country will collapse by itself. If the simple orders of Timoshenko were carried out, it would be tantamount to fighting the German army, and in the end, the 284th Division was seriously weakened.
This was a no-no, so after staring at the map and thinking, a brilliant plan came true.
Because if you cut off the line of communication for the Chenobi, you can complete the mission, and if you destroy that bridge, wouldn't it be enough? Yang Mingzhi remembered the Yugoslav film "The Bridge", in which the partisans blew up key bridges, making it impassable for German troops, buying time for the counteroffensive.
But explosives are needed to blow up bridges, and do the troops have so many explosives? The answer, of course, is yes, the explosives are in the blacksmith village, and the two Rigushkov's artifacts - two large rockets, these warheads are filled with picric acid, and the dose is very large, and you can take it out of the body of the bomb and use it.
After the fact, it was filled with ordinary explosives, and since this kind of rocket has been successfully manufactured, it will definitely have a chance to be used in the future.
"That's right! That's it! Yang Mingzhi was happy with his ingenuity, and couldn't help but slap the table angrily.
Star fruit was taken aback and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, the battle plan is here!"
Yang Mingzhi stood up and stretched, his stomach couldn't help but growl.
"Hehe, it's almost twelve o'clock, it's time to eat something."
"Well, there's a few more pieces of bread in the basket." After that, the star fruit slipped off the ground. She is like a housewife, preparing a supper for her husband.
It was a happy moment to have a virtuous wife to take care of you. This girl can be said to be an official adult after the New Year, but in fact, her body has long matured.
Her figure with her back to her was a fair lady, cutting bread with a knife in her hand. "I'll eat the sauerkraut for a while. I'm hungry so late with you. ”
"Okay. I'll be quiet and rest. ”
On Yang Mingzhi's right hand, this girl finished sewing her military uniform, and she couldn't be clearer about what she wanted to do, but she couldn't participate in this battle, so she simply took this opportunity to explain to her.
"Little Peach! I'll tell you one thing. ”
Yang Mingzhi spoke this in Chinese, Mandarin is close to Beiping, and he knows that his wife likes this very much. And star fruit speaks, just like an ordinary Heilongjiang girl.
"Quack?"
"I have a battle plan in mind, and I'll go to a meeting tomorrow to discuss it."
"Well, I know. So I'll have to hurry up and prepare! ”
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but pause and said slowly: "You don't want to participate in this battle." ”
As soon as the words fell, the star fruit bread cutter also paused. The girl turned her head and asked puzzledly, "Why, why didn't you let me participate?" ”
"Because of your body?" Yang Mingzhi smiled.
"I'm in good shape!"
Carambola hurriedly said, but there was some incongruous tremor in her words, what is this, Yang Mingzhi knows very well.
He shook his head, "Silly girl, you don't have to be reckless. You think I don't know about you? I really don't know about the bloody strip of cloth you discarded last night. ”
Star fruit was shocked! She was in the hospital yesterday, and what she did was very secretive, could it be that someone who did good things reported it to her husband?!
"Brother! How would you know! Who the hell told you that. Star fruit's tone became anxious.
"Roar, there's really something. It doesn't make much sense for anyone to tell me this, but if you have your period now, I'm not happy as a husband. As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi slowly stood beside his wife and stroked her thin shoulders. Honey, you've been working hard. You can't be strong this time, you, as a girl, are the weakest in these days. You were exhausted from the last battle, and your menstrual period was messed up. I don't want you to risk anything when it's back to normal this time. “
"Do you think I'm weak? Think I'm a burden? Star fruit was very afraid and couldn't help but turn her head, her eyes full of requests.
"Of course not." Yang Mingzhi's attitude also became serious, "Female soldiers have their own disadvantages, and this cannot be erased because of the policy requirement of equality between men and women. We're probably going to have to swim and wade through the muddy terrain, and you're in the barracks when you're in your menstrual period, and I don't want you to get sick or over-depleted. ”
"And what about Natasha? Will she participate. Star fruit asked suddenly.
"Yes. You can guess why, she didn't come to that. ”
Yang Mingzhi said bitterly, and the star fruit was dead, and his mood was suddenly a little low, so he continued to cut the bread.
During the supper, Yang Mingzhi could see his wife's regret, and asked a few more words, but the girl actually said: "It's really uncomfortable not to be able to fight side by side with your own man." If you are wounded again in battle, who will take care of you? ”
"That's impossible, I won't do it this time! You are waiting for me in the barracks for my triumph. ”
"yes, preferably so." Carambola muttered subconsciously.
Yang Mingzhi wanted to reply a few words, but found that he had just set up a flag! WTF, how auspicious is this, is it a pill for yourself? "Xiangrui Imperial Exemption House is safe and ......" Yang Mingzhi suddenly folded his hands and recited this many times.
The husband's strange behavior surprised the star fruit. "What, you're worshipping God?"
"Nope. I just hope that I can complete the mission smoothly and then lead the army back safely. ”
"I hope so." The girl smiled, leaving a trace of tranquility. (To be continued.) )
