With the promise of Yang Mingzhi, deputy division commander and chief of staff, Balzen was relieved. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If, according to Lavrenti's plan, the whole army rushed headlong to the south, and the road back would have been too exhausting. In the current state of the soldiers, each person did not carry much rations, and dragging their tired bodies through the forest was bound to be a difficult return journey.

If, after daybreak, the troops had changed course and advanced in front of the ruins of Homnitsch, where the troops had waited and the paratroopers had arrived in trucks, they would have nothing to fear.

Balzen hurriedly woke up the sleeping Ravrenj and Evgeny to explain the new situation.

Therefore, the three of them have no objection at all about the direction of tomorrow's dawn, which is to divert the ruins of Homnich!

……

On the other hand, after Yang Mingzhi ended the communication, he couldn't help but have a big share in his heart. He turned around and noticed that Yevlov and Yerentina were still angry. Both of them looked bitter and hateful, and the messenger on duty in the telegraph room was also so embarrassed that he could only giggle.

"That's it! My division commander and division political commissar, you still have to think about the problems we are facing now. Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and continued: "Balzen has finished the communication, although they have suffered heavy losses, we still have to bring back the exhausted soldiers. There is a good chance that the enemy is chasing them, and for the sake of safety, we must send elite troops to Homnich to meet him. ”

"To put it mildly, where do we still have elites?" Yevlov complained impatiently: "Our soldiers are still scattered in the forest, and the work of collecting supplies is not over yet!" If we talk about the elite, then there are only brethren of paratroopers, but are they adapted to forest warfare? It's debatable! ”

Hearing this, Yerentina was displeased again, and she said decisively: "The paratroopers are the elite of our army, they have all received special training, and they can fight even in the forest!" After all, their work was originally to infiltrate behind enemy lines, and their tactics were very similar to ours. ”

"Alright! All right! I still don't know much about paratroopers, now let's not quarrel. Yevlov looked at Yang Mingzhi again and asked, "So you plan to let them go?" ”

"That's right, it's these paratroopers that we can fight right now! At least 1,400 of the 2,000 people of the 233rd Brigade have returned, and their chief and deputy brigade commanders are here, so it would indeed be a good idea to send them into battle. Yang Mingzhi's attitude is very resolute, and these words are also what Yelenkina likes to hear very much.

At the division headquarters, the divisional commissar and chief of staff had already decided that this plan was feasible, and Yevlov, as the division commander, was a little worried, but he really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

"Well, I agree to send paratroopers on the expedition, what are we going to do next?"

"Summoning that Tepunov, of course." Yang Mingzhi said without hesitation.

As soon as he heard this, Yevlov was not calm again, he rolled up his sleeves and pointed to his watch and said: "It's already past ten o'clock, could it be that we call that person and give them an order directly?" Are they going to leave right away? Although I don't doubt that they are not elites now, the matter of marching at night cannot be hastily decided. Balzen they have lost a lot of people, and there are still elites, and we can act in such a hurry. ”

When Yang Mingzhi heard it, where is this?

"Yevlov, even if it's half past ten, it makes sense to call their commander. We had just finished allocating them lodging, and the paratrooper brothers were already asleep. As for the night march, that, of course, was impossible. Don't get excited now, I already know about the military action, and now we will have a military meeting right away. ”

"Well, this matter must be discussed carefully, and I am very worried that the stinky boys who fell from the sky will fall into the mud pond without paying attention."

A lot of things were said, and Yevlov was in great spirits. The timing of this sudden battle with the Germans was very bad, and now that the chief of staff is personally commanding, there will certainly be no chaos in the future.

His and Yelenkina's eyes were aimed at Yang Mingzhi, who was sitting quietly, and they saw his pen rustling in Chinese like a picture in his notebook, and neither of them knew what it meant.

In fact, this is just Yang Mingzhi writing down the key points of his thoughts, even if he firmly believes that Balzen will definitely return safely, the road to return and the aftermath are a series of problems. There is also considerable military pressure, but the possibility of a large-scale battle can basically be eliminated, and this aspect can be ignored for the time being. What to consider is to send paratroopers to the battle, after all, this is the first military order they received after landing the command of the 284th Division.

On the other hand, the paratroopers were also organized to carry supplies soon after landing. After the assembly, the people gathered in the blacksmith village and temporarily became stevedores. From two or three hundred at the beginning, to more than a thousand later. The huge paratrooper unit is really a new force in logistics, and the collected materials and resources are constantly transported to the blacksmith village, and the huge human resources make the materials quickly sorted and quickly put into warehouses.

If a ton of cargo is carried by one person, it must be tiring. But the porters are thousands, and the paratroopers involved in the operation do not have a trace of fatigue, the fatigue is only their spirit, as long as they sleep.

Already asleep, Tepnov himself was invited to the division headquarters, and the herald's words were very succinct, and the words of a "military meeting" directly made him nervous as he lay on the wooden bed.

The man who had sorted out his military uniform and trotted all the way to the division headquarters office under the leadership of the herald.

"You're just in time! The military meeting only needs you to attend, and your deputy brigade commander and commissar don't have to come, sit down right now! Yevlov, who was sitting in the front seat, ordered solemnly.

Tepunov rubbed his eyes, which were still slightly worried, and saw clearly that the divisional officers of the 284th Division were here, and they were also neatly dressed in military uniforms, and the medals hung on their chests. The glittering pentagram of the division commander and the deputy division commander is really peugeot!

Although it was an emergency meeting, Tepunov only felt that it was too formal, and that his troops were about to participate in military operations? That's a lot of hard work!

Once he was seated, Yevlov snapped his fingers: "Clerk, start recording the meeting." ”

After instructing this, he looked directly at the newcomer Tapunov, and said solemnly: "I won't say anything superfluous, now our army is already fighting fiercely with the enemy, the front-line troops are only 1,300 people, and they have encountered the attack of the main force of an infantry division!" Our army has achieved some victories and has paid great sacrifices of its own, and now the front-line troops are in a precarious situation, they lack ammunition, food and drinking water, and the wounded cannot be treated. So, Tapunov, although we are officially meeting today, the command of your troops has been transferred to us, so now I give you the first task! ”

Yevlov said this, and Yang Mingzhi continued: "Tepunov, I am the planner of this military operation, Chief of Staff Berekov, and we have had an intimate conversation. At this moment, Yang Mingzhi's keen eyes saw the new friend's trembling face, slightly hooked his head, and could see his legs shaking unconsciously.

It's definitely exciting! Yang Mingzhi probably guessed what this person felt in his heart. He decisively asked: "Tepunov, this is the first operation of your paratroopers, are you very excited?" ”

"Of course!" Tepunov said crisply, his facial expression simply showed that he couldn't ask for it.

"Very good, I am relieved to have this guarantee. I thought you would ask for your soldiers to get used to it for a while, but it's understandable that you just came to our harsh environment and mud ponds, so it's a sure thing! ”

"Nope! Comrade Chief of Staff, you misunderstood. My men are always ready for battle, and even if you know that we will assemble and go to the battlefield now, my soldiers and I will have no regrets! ”

Yang Mingzhi originally pretended to be serious with a stiff face, but now he was completely amused. He waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't let the warriors grope their way through the forest in the middle of the night, not to mention that you are new to the area, and the geography of this area also needs to be understood." ”

Saying that, he paused: "I am very satisfied with your statement, I believe that the paratroopers will overcome all kinds of problems." To tell you the truth, the vast number of soldiers and civilians of our division are scattered in the forest, and it is suddenly impossible to assemble quickly in the hesitant war, and you are the only troops who can maintain their formation! Let me tell you briefly, this time you have only one mission, and that is to reinforce the front-line troops and bring them back safely. If you are intercepted by the Germans on the way, you will fight without hesitation, do you understand? ”

"He understood!" Tepunov said resolutely.

"Very well, now I'll give you a specific task!"
