The troops set out early in the morning, 1,600 men ready to go.

Before the operation, Yang Mingzhi checked the appearance of the army again, and saw that the army was majestic, and every soldier carried a large amount of baggage, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Because of operational needs, firepower is the guarantee for a rapid breakthrough. The ammunition everyone carries hangs on their bodies, and everyone looks like a small ammunition depot. Therefore, everyone's burden is very heavy, some of the particularly heavy ones are carried by war horses, and more can only rely on the warriors themselves.

"Good, you're doing a great job."

Yang Mingzhi shrugged in satisfaction, he himself carried a lot of things, but the weapon was only a pistol. In this battle, he will no longer charge frantically on the front line, and his subordinates will solve the work of playing with his life, and he will be responsible for commanding all this.

He glanced at it one last time, everyone was in good spirits after breakfast, today is the agreed departure time, at eight o'clock in the morning, it is time to leave.

The soldiers are about to go to the battlefield again, and a large number of people and soldiers gather in the catfish village to bid farewell to everyone.

In the crowd of farewells, Yang Mingzhi saw his wife's small figure. She was also wearing a white lab coat, which was to serve patients who had caught a cold. The girl's eyes were full of reluctance, and her hands were folded as if she was praying.

"Don't worry, dear. You await our triumph! Yang Mingzhi beckoned with his right hand.

Star fruit stared at her husband's confident smile, and he was back in the line of fire just after his injury. It's really worrying, but it can't keep him at all. So how to give back to her, the little star fruit sang a song, and soon the people around her were also infected.

"Oh my God, this is "Farewell to the Slavic Woman"!" Yerentina complained. She was standing beside Yang Mingzhi, and now the troops were advancing in four columns with neat steps.

"Farewell to the Slavic woman, farewell to my woman." Yang Mingzhi's heart has mixed feelings, and the plot rendering at the moment is very good, and many soldiers also feel and sing this song.

In the future, at the military parade on Red Square in the Battle of Moscow, the soldiers also sang this song, bidding farewell to the people of the capital, bidding farewell to Stalin, throwing themselves into the bloody battlefield to defend the country.

In this situation, there is a feeling that the strong man will never return. But I'm not going to die, I'm going to fight as a god of death, harvesting the heads of the invaders. Yang Mingzhi took this as a kind of motivation, and everyone strode through the shallows of the river into the west bank of the Pripet.

The troops marched until noon, and everyone was repairing in the forest. The warriors unloaded their heavy bags and hurried to drink water and eat dry food.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Mingzhi immediately called the commander of the artillery company and the commander of the reconnaissance company to his side.

"Doronin, there's no problem with that cannon of yours traveling through the forest, is it?"

"Of course! There were horses pulling, and if the terrain was rough in the past, we unloaded the artillery and carried it by the fighters. That, after all, is small-caliber artillery and is not heavy. ”

Doronin's words reassured Yang Mingzhi, and he patted this battle-hardened guy on the shoulder, which gave him great expectations.

Then, there was the crucial task given to Balzen. "From now on, you will break away from the main army, and we will start to split up."

"Is it possible that from now on, my men will go along the river?"

"Yes, your mission is to blow up the bridge. This operation must be concealed, and you are few of you and carry wooden boats. Theoretically, you'll get to your destination ahead of time. During this time we were in contact via the radio and did everything I commanded. ”

"Obey the order, sir!" Balzen gave the standard military salute, and he even took great responsibility himself, and after receiving the order, he quickly returned to the camp and gave the order of the deputy division commander.

Balzen left in the dust, and Yang Mingzhi sighed slowly.

"Why, the task you have to give him is more difficult?" Yerentina couldn't help but ask.

"Not really. I'm sure Balzen can do a good job. It's just that I'm worried that we're going to plant explosives right under the noses of the enemy, and that's going to be a problem. Maybe even ......" Speaking of this, Yang Mingzhi didn't think about it anymore.

Yerentina seemed to understand something, and she said no more about it.

From then on, the reconnaissance company was given a special task -- to blow up the bridge, and at this time it was officially implemented. Balzen led his men, carrying many canoes and a large amount of explosives, and gradually distanced himself from the large army.

Balzen's men disappeared into the forest, and they would advance stealthily along the woods along the riverside, while the large army, led by Yang Mingzhi, advanced towards Chenobi by relying on the forest.

Yang Mingzhi didn't bring his wife with him on this trip, except that this girl is not easy to exercise vigorously during the menstrual period, she was almost hit by the enemy's tank guns in the last battle, which made people feel uneasy.

And Natasha, another character in that shelling, followed the troops as a sniper to a new battlefield.

The troops marched all day, moving through the forest at a slow pace of four kilometers per hour. It was not easy for everyone to run wildly with a large amount of baggage on their backs, and after a day of marching in time, the troops also advanced more than 30 kilometers.

Everyone rested in the forest, and the guard company divided into two platoons to open the way, and in the evening they sent a telegram.

The radio player's big radio station was ringing, Yang Mingzhi leaned over and asked, "How is it, who is sending us a report?" ”

"It's our vanguard." The radio man took the pamphlet in his hand and quickly wrote down the code, which he translated into a text that could be read.

"It's not bad, there is no enemy situation ahead, not even the village. The map we have seems to be very accurate. Yang Mingzhi patted the radioman on the shoulder and instructed him to immediately send a telegram to Balzen, who was advancing separately, as well as the army headquarters in Catfish Village.

Before leaving, they have made contact arrangements. The march was trimmed in the evening, except for food and radio contact.

The radio word beeped, and after the radioman sent the signal, Balzen immediately responded.

Yang Mingzhi looked at the translated text on the booklet. "We are fine, no enemy is found, and we will enter the confluence of the river."

Yang Mingzhi was moved, and immediately pulled Yelenkina, who was getting together with Natasha to eat canned food, and told her about this important matter. "The elite of our reconnaissance company has reached the confluence of the Pripet and Dnieper rivers at a very rapid speed, and then they will take it into the lake, and then the city of Cherobi."

"That's it, they're running so fast!" Yerentina said excitedly, "Actually, if they can reach their destination in advance, if they can blow up the bridge in advance, our mission will be more than half completed." ”

Because the core of that order was to destroy the Cherobie railway junction and paralyze the railroad to the east, it was better to blow up the bridge than to blow up the railroad.

"However, our mission is still to destroy the train station. If the bridge is blown up, the railway station will be paralyzed. In this way, for a long time, the enemy will not be able to transport this railway to Kyiv, let alone send troops and materials to the east. Therefore, when Balzen arrives, he must give me an honest nest like a hen. I don't want them to blow up the bridge and wake up the stupid Germans. If these guys had been prepared to defend in advance, our surprise advantage would not have existed. ”

Yerenkina nodded, "What you said seems to be the cultivation of a staff officer. ”

"It's okay, people are forced out. Otherwise, you and I would have been buried in a trench outside Minsk. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Mingzhi ordered the radioman to immediately send a report to Balzen. Tell them to slow down and wait a little for the big troop to come along. If you arrive early, wait for the order to act. ”

On the other hand, Balzen did receive the order. He boasted that he had indeed run faster, and the soldiers were exhausted and out of breath. But everyone is elite, and the guys who can be scouts have excellent stamina. They carried canoes and explosives in special wooden boxes.

These picric acids can easily detonate, and the blacksmith village has made special treatments in time, and the soldiers are forbidden to treat them roughly. Of course, there are no fools in the reconnaissance company, and no one wants to be blown up into the sky at once by these dangerous things.

Seeing that it was getting late, Balzen ordered: "Everyone rest here, the first and second shifts will stand guard in the first half of the night, and the third and fourth shifts will be in the second half of the night." ”

The guard company is divided into nine squads, divided into two types: fire squad and sniper squad. This is also Yang Mingzhi's arrangement according to the model of the future new Chinese army, and the personnel of each squad are actually equivalent to a platoon of the current Soviet army. The offensive and defensive forces are definitely in accordance with the three-three system, and everyone has tasted the sweetness of tactical superiority, this time it is the repair of the troops, and the camp is also a triangle.

Everyone has entered enemy-occupied territory, and the slightest negligence can cause great danger.

The open and dark sentinels were arranged, and Balzen looked at the bright moon in the sky with satisfaction, closed his eyes and slept. (To be continued.) )
