Yang Mingzhi reviewed the operation.

The troops launched an operation on April 26, and on the morning of the 27th, they launched an attack on the railway and achieved a major victory, attacking the village of Andropovka around noon to relieve the villagers, and in the afternoon they stormed the Red Banner Farm, causing heavy German casualties.

On the 28th, the troops successively arrived at Leopovka, a key mission target.

In the early morning of the 29th, the troops launched a night attack to rescue a large number of prisoners of war. In the morning, the troops attacked Igler Toskaia and rescued a large number of children, including a Chinese student.

On the morning of the 30th, the troops encountered the Black Bear Brigade and received important information.

On the morning of May 1, the troops attacked Bainiu Village, and fierce battles broke out with the local defenders, and after paying a certain price, the German army was completely annihilated and a large number of prisoners of war were rescued. At noon, a battalion of the puppet army was completely annihilated.

On 2 May, heavy rain poured on the way to retreat.

On the afternoon of 3 May, the troops arrived at the crossing of the Pripet River, and the fighting was completely over.

Because of the collective memory of all the officers who participated in the battle, the details of the operation can be counted in detail.

Also in attendance were Peroniski, as well as newcomers like Medvedev.

The presence of these two made Yang Mingzhi have to think about such a problem, that is, the big problem of how to organize the rescued prisoners of war and the guerrilla fighters in the Black Bear Brigade.

The discussion and statistics on the details of the battle finally ended at eight o'clock in the evening. In fact, there are many details of the battle that need to be discussed, and the time required can only be briefly discussed.

The time is up, and tomorrow all the resting troops will return to training.

Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands: "Okay!" Comrades adjourn! Ladies and gentlemen, please help me bind all the records! ”

Like Joshua, she stretched hard as if she was unburdened. At this summary meeting, the anger she held back could be regarded as being vented. All the female soldiers participated in the battle, but few female soldiers fired fire, for no other reason, the female barracks always fought in a reserve posture. Those male soldiers are too capable of fighting, and the enemy's combat effectiveness is also terrible, and the reality is that it is not the turn of female soldiers to come out!

Therefore, the women's battalion was the only one of the four battalions that participated in the battle that did not die, and the most seriously injured among them were a few girls with broken feet.

The officers stood up one after another, Balzen was going back to his reconnaissance battalion, and Rychev and Bondanov were going back to the paratrooper brigade barracks to report back to their brigade commander commissar about the meeting. Joshua glanced apologetically at her superior, apologetic for her foul language at the meeting.

Yang Mingzhi didn't care about it, and when everyone was about to leave the door, he beckoned: "Peroniski, Medvedev, you two stay!" ”

The reason why these two people are especially wanted to stay is because Yang Mingzhi still has some special arrangements.

The two returned to their seats, listening to the chief's new orders.

"Leave you two behind, I have an arrangement that needs to be listened to by the two of you."

Peroniski was somewhat flattered by the modesty of the chief, and he patted his chest and declared that any orders would be obeyed. Medvedev, on the other hand, was more cautious, he and his men were frightened by the sight of Novgomel when they first arrived, and they were satisfied that his people were well taken care of.

"Since both of you are willing to listen, then I'll say it! My attitude was that the liberated prisoners of war would be quickly reorganized into new teams. For the arrangement of these people, I plan to set up two regiments, and whoever is the commander of these two regiments, I plan to be the two of you. ”

The two were shocked when they heard this, and the most excited was of course Peroniski.

He said excitedly: "Before this operation, the commander had already ordered my locomotive brigade to set up the first battalion of the independent battalion. ”

"That's right!" Yang Mingzhi said decisively: "The number of prisoners of war who were rescued this time is more than 5,000, and according to the normal establishment, nine battalions can be organized. The formation of our Red Army was usually an infantry regiment of four battalions. Some of these people will be placed in other troops, and the rest will be handed over to the two of you.

I plan, Comrade Peroniski, that your unit will be the 1st Regiment of the Separate Regiment. Comrade Medvedev, your unit is the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Regiment!

This is just an idea of mine for now, and I need to ask for the support of both of you! ”

As soon as Yang Mingzhi's words fell, Peroniski's right hand was raised high: "I fully support it!" ”

"What about you? Comrade Medvedev? ”

Originally, participating in this meeting made Peroniski a little nervous! In the months following the outbreak of the war, the Black Bear Brigade did not even think of returning to the regular army to cooperate, or even become part of the regular army. The combat forces under his command are even more varied, and many of them are simply middle-aged people who have far exceeded the conscription period! Soldiers can call them uncle!

Now he has thoroughly understood the reality of this Soviet army, that they are the kind of formed units that are ordered to stay in the enemy-occupied areas to fight guerrillas, and they are not simply guerrillas formed spontaneously by the people. It was precisely because of this relationship that Medvedev, who had just arrived, felt a little inferior, and the commander of this so-called army group suddenly threw an olive branch, which made him nervous for a while.

"Hey! Medvedev, please answer my question! There's nothing to worry about joining, but it doesn't hurt to say! ”

Truth be told, he did have something to say, and he said, "Okay! Comrade Commander! I thought at first that you would disband the Black Bear Brigade and replenish the fighters to other units. Now that you're planning to let me lead more than 2,000 combat forces, I'm really a little worried about my abilities. ”

"So that's it? You shouldn't worry about that! Yang Mingzhi encouraged: "In the past ten months, the Black Bear Brigade under your command has more than 1,000 people, and they have always been fighting the enemy and surviving strongly. This shows that you have some command skills, and what we lack most at the moment is a troop commander! ”

"If Comrade Commander means this, it seems that I can only accept this new position. I was a warrior more than twenty years ago, and I can still be a warrior twenty years later! It is an honor to serve the motherland! ”

After that, the middle-aged man had already raised his right hand and saluted a standard military salute.

Yang Mingzhi returned the salute and completely understood his attitude.

Medvedev put his hand down, his words did not end. This veteran soldier who joined the army during the Civil War cared about him very much, and since he was also going to be a regimental commander, he had to think about the state of those rescued prisoners of war.

So, what is their current state? It's terrible!

"Comrade Commander, many of my men fell ill after a long journey, and when they arrived here, thank the great Motherland for providing good medical care. Even so, many people's bodies cannot recover in a short time!

The situation of those who have been rescued is even worse, they have been abused by the enemy for a long time, especially in terms of food less than we eat! If the fighters of the 2nd Regiment of my Independent Regiment were weak, such a unit would be ineffective. ”

Since the troops arrived on the banks of the Pripet River, Yang Mingzhi has handed over all kinds of matters to his subordinates. The condition of his own soldiers is well understood, but what about those who have been rescued?

Because of the accommodation arrangement, part of it is located in Catfish Village. Some of those with better physical fitness also set off yesterday afternoon and went to the blacksmith village one after another.

Yang Mingzhi estimated that Yelenkina and her political commissars had already launched statistics and political trials as soon as possible. After passing the examination, they should continue to rest in their camps.

It takes a lot of time to train ordinary villagers into soldiers, and it takes a lot of time just to shoot with guns.

Therefore, those who were rescued had a great innate advantage, they did not need basic military training at all, as long as they recovered their physical strength, they were qualified regular army soldiers. The only thing they need to do well is to completely get rid of the mentality of "I was a prisoner of war" and re-prove their loyalty by participating in some battles.

Medvedev's meaning Yang Mingzhi fully agreed: "The difference between our 63rd Army and our fraternal units is very large, not only because we are behind the enemy's rear, but also because of the way we fight. All fighters undergo rigorous physical training so much that everyone can run a marathon! Weakened warriors need a lot of food to recover, so even if two separate regiments are formed, your task will be to train in the rear for a while! Unless there is an order from your superiors that the entire army group participates in the operation, you two will not go to war! ”

The two had no objection to this arrangement.

"If you two don't have any new questions, please go back, tomorrow afternoon, the two of you will come to the headquarters again, we have an important meeting, you must attend!"
