Yang Mingzhi led a large army and Balzen's bridge bombing troops to act at the same time, and according to the order, Balzen deliberately slowed down.

The speed of action on both sides was actually very fast, and Yang Mingzhi's guard company opened the way in front and successfully arrived at the outskirts of Cherobi City. As with the previous battle plans, the troops must first wait for night to fall, and must not expose themselves until then.

Each of the more than 1,000 people was well disguised, and the steel helmet was full of branches, lying in the withered bushes, and it was really impossible to see the clues from a distance.

However, the German routine patrols also appeared in the outer forests, and their vigilance was so poor that they were quietly hunted and killed, and then the corpses were dragged into the forest.

The guard company reported that a total of five patrolmen had been killed, and if there were any more, they would continue to do so.

Yang Mingzhi wore a helmet full of branches, and he crawled on the ground with the others. In addition to eliminating several enemy patrols, the troops also captured some villagers. They were all Soviet peasants, and for the sake of safety, this small group of people was immediately controlled. Said after the operation is over.

Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and theoretically Balzen's people were already very close to the Cherobie and the bridge.

He ordered the troops to eat dry rations at once, and he himself was no exception, chewing on this very porcelain big leba.

In this battle, his wife did not follow, Natasha temporarily lost her partner, and she had to do the work of an elite sniper alone.

"You're very accurate with your gun, and your anti-tank gun is almost as good as a sniper rifle at close range. After the start of the war, we want to destroy the locomotive, you and Igor use armor-piercing shells and shoot at the boiler in the front of the locomotive. Yang Mingzhi gave her such an order.

The soldiers here are also equipped with a lot of anti-tank guns, and Natasha is just one of them, but Yang Mingzhi estimates that this girl has more use.

Night finally fell, and many of the warriors had begun to sleep in order to recuperate.

Yang Mingzhi is in good spirits, and he is waiting for news from Balzen. They were on their way as the sun went down, claiming to be very close to the Cherobi and that the battle must have begun in the night.

Soon, the long-awaited information finally arrived, and new information came from Balzen.

"You actually found a local guide, or a militia captured by the Germans. Is that person credible? Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.

Balzen swore faith in Alexander, saying, "That kid is a native of Cherobie and even knows which piers of the railway bridge are broken." I think the focus of the blasting is on the weak points of the piers. I've appointed him as a guide to lead the troops to plant explosives. ”

At this point, it is impossible to judge whether that person is credible or not, Yang Mingzhi really wants to meet this Alexander, who is said to be only seventeen years old? Hehe, at the same age as his wife, Lao Maozi developed early, and seventeen years old is about the same as an adult.

Now that Balzen has already launched an operation, he cannot be idle on his side. Yang Mingzhi ordered all the company commanders to come over collectively for a pre-war meeting.

Soon, this group of people arrived in the dust, and everyone's faces were full of anticipation before the battle.

"Great, looking at the way you guys, the mentality is still good. The battle begins tonight. Yang Mingzhi said.

"And what about time?" Yerentina asked.

"It's sometime in the wee hours of the morning, and everything has to be determined by Balzen's actions. When the bridge is bombed, it is the time for the operation to begin, and before that we must be ready for battle, and we must not relax for a moment. I reckon that the operation will be launched after midnight. "Speaking of which, Yang Mingzhi will seriously instruct these officers again." This operation was given to us by the Front Command, the time was very short, and if the battle was successful, we would have dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's logistics. However, we don't even know what the enemy is doing in Cherobi, or even if they have any heavy weapons, because we have to keep in mind our goal, which is to destroy as much as possible at the train station. ”

This is a military adventure, and the warriors have no bottom in their hearts. Everyone's mentality was very optimistic, but Yevgeny couldn't help asking: "Deputy division commander, what if we encounter a strong enemy!" I mean, if we succeed, the enemy's troops will come in quickly to reinforce us. You must know that this place is very close to Kyiv, and large forces of the enemy army can take advantage of the victory to pursue. At that time, we must be all right. ”

Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes and thought for a while, "That's right, your words are very right, so we have to fight quickly." We just need to destroy all the enemy locomotives, and if we find warehouses, we will burn them as much as possible. After that, we retreated quickly, and we didn't have to panic if the enemy was in pursuit. The iron rod strikes, sweeps everything, and if it doesn't work, the iron rod thickens. ”

Saying this, everyone was happy. This is a Russian proverb, and it also reflects the national character of the Maozi, when encountering a strong enemy, you must be stronger than the enemy, and then attack head-on to defeat them. And this depends on the follow-up troops, Yang Mingzhi swore solemnly: "You don't have to think too much, we do our own thing, if the battle expands, don't worry." We still have more than 4,000 people in the forest, ready to fight. ”

Everyone was given their own tasks, and as soon as the battle began, the various companies attacked as planned.

At the same time, the young Alexander had already led the bridge bombing troops, quietly approaching the bridge.

The moonlight that entered was quite bright, and the Germans did not expect that the enemy was already approaching the city. During the day, the German soldiers were also busy, and at night, most of them rested exhausted. The so-called patrol officers are also very tired, especially at night, their eyes are heavy, and everyone is eager to find a place to take a nap, so that the patrol work is not careful at all.

They did not notice a dozen canoes moving on the river. In fact, it is indeed difficult to find that Alexander instructed the soldiers who oared not to use force. The light was dim, the boats loomed over the river, and the faint noise of rowing was caught in the wind.

The ships were getting closer and closer to the bridge, and all the fighters were excited.

Alexander whispered: "Everyone, pay attention, the pier in front of us on the right is the weak point of the bridge, and we are moving there." ”

Following the line of his fingers, the flotilla shifted its direction, and the ships loaded with explosives leaned against the pier. Several other boats were equipped with machine guns, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed in the direction of the Chenobi to guard against enemy harassment.

The actual situation is indeed what everyone likes, and the action is very smooth. Several fighters climbed up the bridge pier with ropes, and the iron hook hung very firmly on the steel structure, and then it was a very critical moment.

"Be sure to protect this wooden box and plug in the wires at the end!" An officer whispered.

The soldiers responsible for planting the explosives were already very familiar with the essentials before the war, and the picric acid configured in the blacksmith village and the *** removed from the enemy's shells were neatly stacked in the gaps of the bridge's steel structure and piers. The fighters had only a dozen kilograms of explosives on hand, which was more than enough to blow up a bridge pier, and a bridge was far from enough.

The explosives will be detonated by a small ****, which is connected to the electrodes, and the wires are more than fifty meters long. It was still dangerous to detonate at this distance, so the soldier in charge of activating the detonating device boasted that he could swim in the icy water, and he was in the cold water, while the others retreated far away.

At this time, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Yang Mingzhi received the latest information. Balzen was telegraphing by radio, "Deputy division commander, the explosives have been planted, when will we detonate them?!" ”

Yang Mingzhi was so excited that he ordered it to be detonated at one point and the next. Balzen received the order and began to wait, and the time was almost up.

At this time, Yang Mingzhi immediately checked everyone's equipment one last time, and the battle was about to begin.

Everyone was waiting for the explosion, and the time was passing by second.

Eventually, when the time came, the soldier pressed the start handle, and then there was a loud bang, a burst of fire, and a large amount of rubble was blasted into the sky! The soldier dived into the water in an instant, dodging the falling rocks, while the others quickly brought the boat to shore and plunged into battle.

The big explosion happened, and that pier could no longer withstand such damage, the pier collapsed, and the bridge was damaged.

Yang Mingzhi wiped his nose, held a pistol, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers! Offensive! (To be continued.) )
