Chapter 414: The Second Battle of Homnich

At the division headquarters of the blacksmith village, Yevlov had already begun to prepare for the response. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He issued a warning of enemy attacks on all collective farms via the radio and repeatedly emphasized: this is not a drill!

The village committee of the village broadcasts through loudspeakers, which makes it clear to all the village members about their current situation. Because this was in wartime, everyone was aware of their situation, and even if the enemy attack alarm was issued, people did not cause a huge stir. Not many people panicked, and not long ago, they had just returned from the forest, and that time they were also hiding from enemy attacks.

The evacuation was entirely the responsibility of Yerenkina, and the grassroots people she developed had already begun to organize the evacuation. For thousands of years, there was a tradition of village communes in Russia, and these peasants were willing to accept the collective farm model, which during the war years showed its advantage, namely the rapid evacuation.

The evacuation of the stockists was quite orderly, and they dragged their families in small groups, under the leadership of the collective farm Soviets, into the evacuation sites that had been demarcated beforehand.

Yerentina also took the lead in this regard, and the members of the Komsomol also took on the role of supervision.

"With the experience of the previous time, this evacuation was much more rapid. Maybe I should be at the place of evacuation and order them to build some small warehouses. I am afraid that there will be more such evacuations in the future. Yerentina pondered as she looked at the blacksmith village clerks and marched in line with their bags.

Now she also has a good helper - Kabisky.

This police chief, who was in the field before the fall of Chicha, quickly developed his subordinates here. The new police force is largely drawn from among the villagers, and those with a strong sense of justice are his preferred targets. Kabisky is in charge of urban policing, managing security issues in evacuation operations, and he has a natural ability.

Just as these two personally supervised the evacuation, they saw that the militia stationed in the village also began to act. Two militia battalions were stationed in the village of blacksmiths, one under the command of the former partisan leader Chernenko, and the other was a women's battalion, commanded by the peasant woman Sashanova.

These people are dressed in a variety of ways, because most of them are farmers. Most of its weaponry is German - all from previous battles.

"It seems that something really bigger is going on, and even our last militia is going to be dispatched?" Yerentina decided to hurry back to the division headquarters, and he ordered Kabisky: "Now you are solely responsible for the evacuation of the blacksmith village. ”

Yerentina hurried back to the division headquarters, where Yevlov had just finished talking to Yang Mingzhi.

"What's going on?! I saw our militia in formation, they were fully armed. Could it be that this battle has forced us to use all our forces? ”

Yevlov stiffened his face, he first sat down the excited woman, and then said slowly: "The latest order has come from Berekov, the Roshakov regiment must quickly rush to the ruins of Khomnych, which must pass through a strategic place, and we must take it. He can jump into battle at any time once a future battle breaks out. Moreover, the enemy had to divide his forces into the swamp, which was also a necessary barrier for defense. ”

"So, you have ordered Roshakov to rush to us?"

Yevlov nodded: "That's right, they will first arrive at us from the station of Catfish Village, and then transfer to Black Earth Village." ”

"To us? Why did you take a long detour to the blacksmith village? Are you planning to learn from Berekov and make Roshakov's regiment a strengthened regiment? Get the militia in. ”

"It's impossible." Yevlov shook his head, "Their forces will increase, and that is in the Black Soil Village." Some of the militia there were temporarily assigned to Roshakov, and as for him coming to us, he was equipped with new weapons! ”

The so-called new weapons are nothing more than recoilless guns and RPGs. Part of Roshakov's troops was still in the village of blacksmiths, and part of them were transferred to the village of Catfish. In the current situation, this regiment had to meet at the blacksmith village as soon as possible, receive new equipment from the arsenal, and quickly move out. Roshakov and Koravsky were on their way, and Yevlov calmed Yerentina for a while: "The order I gave them was to march quickly, and they would arrive in half an hour. As for the militia here, they will be strategic reserves, and I have also ordered the militias of other villages to stand by. ”

Yergentina was a little relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought Berekov was out of the way, and if we let all our troops fight the Germans, it would be a battle."

"It's almost a battle." A smile appeared on Yevlov's face, "You may not know very well that the combat effectiveness of an infantry division is basically concentrated in those three main regiments, and the rest are either special operations forces or logistics units." Among the troops dispatched by the enemy, according to Berekov's name, they made sorties of the equivalent of four regiments. In the current state of the German army, two regiments were already the main force of a division. In this battle, the enemy and us are simply two divisions against one! It's nothing short of a battle. That's right! ”

The more Yevlov spoke, the more excited he became, and he stood up directly. "Just define the exact term for this operation. It's called the Second Battle of Homnich. ”

"It's an interesting name. Why do you call it a second time, do you see the battle of last December as a battle as well? Yerentina asked.

"It's okay, we simply entered the city of Lechica in that battle, if that time is not a battle, what is a battle?"

Yerentina calculated the account herself, the Soviet army sent 6,000 troops plus Roshakov, and the German army sent 10,000 people, so the Soviet army still had a disadvantage in terms of strength. If you analyze carefully, the Soviet army has the advantage of forest warfare, the German armored forces were completely annihilated, and the Soviet losses were not large. Judging from this comparison, the actual military gap between the two sides is not large.

This operation was even more by the wisdom of Berekov, and relying on his wisdom, the Germans were afraid that they would have to pay huge losses again.

The doubts have been dispelled, and now it is the general mobilization of the whole army, the general evacuation of the population, and everything into the wartime system. Yerenkina stood up solemnly and said, "It seems that my work is going to be more complicated, so it's okay for me to continue working now." ”

She turned to leave, but Yevlov stopped her. "You don't have to be in such a hurry, Berekov captured some trucks and jeeps, and the convoy was quickly driven back by our fighters. A large number of wounded soldiers and civilians, and some gasoline have to be brought back, and you are in charge of life, and these matters are your job. There is also a German named Nicklaus, this is the commander of the armored battalion that we killed, and the interrogation is yours. ”

As soon as she heard this, Yerentina immediately came to her senses, "It's all up to me, that guy named Nicklaus, I'll drain all his brains!" ”

Yevlov watched her leave, and in the face of a big battle, he was also anxious with itchy teeth. The current situation is as if only Berekov is the division commander, and he himself is the deputy division commander. There is really no way to do this, let's just say that this time it will become a battle-level battle, and without the command of that person, Yevlov knows that he will make a mess of everything.

But it is his duty to greet Roshakov, and it is also his business to explain what he thinks.

Soon, Roshakov arrived with a part of the army, and they and the rest of the troops were waiting outside the arsenal.

Rygushkov was also given an evacuation order, which made him angry and had nothing to do.

"The blast furnace was shut down not long after it was fired, but fortunately not too much scrap metal was put into it, otherwise it would have been bad!" After learning the hard way, he also had to take care of another thing, which was to move things from the warehouse.

Some of the soldiers were helping him carry the ammunition box, which was mainly recoilless shells. The remaining five recoilless guns were also moved out, which they were to deliver to the troops.

Yevlov and Roshakov looked back, and after a few words of greeting between the two, he gave the order. Without further ado, according to Yang Mingzhi's plan, Roshakov had to march hastily, even in the starry night, to the ruins of Khomnich as fast as possible. (To be continued.) )
