As in the original plane, the Romanians and Nazi Germany stood together. On the Eastern Front, as soon as the war began, Romania sent its own Third and Fourth Armies into battle, accompanied by the German Army Group South in its offensive towards Ukraine.

Before the start of World War II, Romania was still a de jure feudal monarchy, and King Mihai I and Field Marshal Antonescu were in collusion, and at a banquet, Hitler revealed his plans to invade the Soviet Union, and said that once the war began, as long as Romania sent troops, the land on the west bank of the Dnieper River would be acquired by Romania. Driven by this great temptation, Romania began to mobilize for war, so that the king sent his elite troops to the eastern battlefield.

Therefore, Hitler ordered two Romanian divisions to support the Reich divisions, which were the Third Army subordinate to Romania.

These two divisions were also considered the elite troops of the Romanians, and they did their best to make this unit look like it had been motorized, and even so, there were still many mules and horses in the troops.

Throughout World War II, only a few countries fully realized the motorization of the army, even the invincible Nazi Germany, because it gave it only 20 years to rise, and the great military development only began in 1933, and motorized transportation could not meet the consumption of the army. The Germans still needed a large number of mules and horses to transport them, and the situation was even worse than that of his client states.

In Yang Mingzhi's view, the German army's group of servants numbered a lot, and it was natural for them to start a war. "The Romanians were driven into battle by their king, and they fought only to satisfy the selfish desires of the king and his generals. We are different, we are defending our homeland, not only our country, but also our people. Yang Mingzhi cheered up the soldiers, and the morale of the troops under his command was high.

Many soldiers were very unfamiliar with Romania, and in short, that guy was willing to partner with the Germans, which was not a good thing after all.

Yang Mingzhi decisively used the classic Chinese saying to change and interpret the meaning of battle. "Friends came, there was vodka. If the jackal comes, he will be greeted with a shotgun. The slogan was easy to understand, and the soldiers immediately actively prepared for war.

The city of Moziri was being fortified as if the Romanians, who had not yet been seen, would come back to attack.

But Kuznetsov was thoughtful, and he estimated that the enemy would have to pass through the city, after all, there was a very important bridge here. He urged his subordinates not to underestimate the enemy, and even if the enemy did not attack here, the troops should still be stationed here, knowing that his large army and the vast number of peaceful residents should retreat to the Pripyat swamp.

It was already mid-July, and Yang Mingzhi estimated that in the Minsk encirclement, the fighting might still be going on sporadically. It is undeniable that hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops have already been captured, and the next step for the German army is precisely the Soviet army besieging Ukraine along the Dnieper River south.

Early in the morning, the large forces began to retreat. The captured German troops could drive a car, and a large number of goods were thrown on it, and many wounded soldiers also chose to leave by car. Food, weapons and ammunition should be taken with them as long as they can be taken away. Some of the fighters were replaced with German equipment and replenished with German-made ammunition.

Early in the morning, the dispatch yard was busy. Yang Mingzhi put his arms around his wife and looked at the soldiers who were stacking goods, and saw that the "field hospital" was also evacuating, and some wounded soldiers lying on stretchers were sent to trucks.

"Husband, they retreated so magnificently, they shouldn't have encountered enemy air raids on the way."

"No, the Germans are busy. Besides, they are air raids, and they are also bombing our side. Yang Mingzhi hugged his wife tightly, "Actually, you should also withdraw with them." It's too hard for us to fight, and it's not something you should be a girl to bear. ”

Star fruit shook her head, "How is this possible?" It is said that war makes women go away, but where can I actually go away? Brother, you are my only relative in this world, where am I willing to leave with you. ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled slightly, this woman is very dedicated, and she can't live up to it. "Let's go, let's go, they are going to retreat, and the troops we left behind have to step up the construction of city defenses.

To be honest, Mozili is indeed a small city, with a population of just over 10,000 before the war, and the most beautiful thing in the whole city is the municipal building. There are several timber processing factories in the city, a small machine building factory, and a few light industrial factories. The power here is basically interrupted, and the lack of coal has caused the thermal power units to be shut down.

Kuznetsov led more than 10,000 men to defend the city, and the remaining units of the 284th Guards Division joined the defenders' camp.

"Now we have captured ten 88-mm howitzers, two 150-mm plus howitzers. Twenty half-track armored vehicles and more than forty other mortars. "The statistician reports the results to Kuznetsov himself, but the deployment planning will be the participation of all generals.

Due to the factors of the Great Purge, most of Kuznetsov's subordinates were promoted quickly, and there was not a single person like him who had gone to a regular military school. So Berekov, our Yang Mingzhi's opinion is quite important.

Since the 284th Guards Division was able to defeat a number of German units, and it was not a problem to defeat a potential Romanian army, the majority of officers had such a realization.

This is suspected of catching ducks on the shelves, and Yang Mingzhi has no choice but to go on it. He himself was just a soldier, and he had read some military books and had knowledge of the history of World War II, which was his advantage.

Since battles can easily turn into city stations, the battlefield is better placed on the periphery. It is impossible to turn into Stalingrad here, and it is impossible to become Grozny, the city is too small for the big army to stretch.

"In my opinion, the main directions of our arming are the south and west, and the Romanians cannot be too far east, because the large forces of the Germans have not yet hit. We should put heavy fire in these two directions, and as for our bridges, they are also to be defended here, and we don't need too many troops. ”

Here, Yang Mingzhi suggested that the mortar unit move flexibly, and that they act as a fire support force and quickly adjust their position based on actual combat needs. He also posed a very scathing question: "I think, the Romanians would never have imagined that Mozyr had already been liberated by our troops. With the big grash of those people, they must have marched in a neat line with dignity, which gave us a great opportunity. ”

While the other officers were pondering, it dawned on Kuznetsov.

"Berekov, do you have the idea of forming a special force to attack the enemy on the march?"

Yang Mingzhi shook his head, "It's not all, we can take advantage of the woods and bushes to send troops to form a combat squad, maybe a squad only has a platoon of strength." Everyone set up an ambush and waited for the enemy to pass by and be taken by surprise. When the enemy began to counterattack, the squad immediately broke away from the battle and moved to a new position to continue to hold off the Germans. ”

This is completely a sparrow warfare routine, but the old hairy people are too pedantic. Kuznetsov did not take such a risk, and with the opposition of many officers, the program was compromised.

He only sent the following people to act as "skirmishers" in front of the array, and the traditional concept seems that Yang Mingzhi's style of play is pure nonsense, and the troops still have to build fortifications and fight positional warfare in a dignified manner.

Yang Mingzhi shrugged, "If it were my troops, I would definitely let them attack flexibly." Instead of passively waiting, it is better to actively seek out the enemy and catch him off guard when he has no way. ”

Kuznetsov patted Yang Mingzhi on the shoulder: "Berekov, the bread will be there, wait until you have your own army and then be the commander." Now I am the commander-in-chief of this unit, and I dare not take risks. ”

Yang Mingzhi expressed his understanding, many of his suggestions were adopted, and the rest was arming.

The reconnaissance unit had left Mozili more than 20 kilometres and was in radio contact with each other. These people watched the earth closely, and some even put their ears to the ground, trying to sense the shaking of the earth in order to judge the clues of the movement of the enemy's large forces.

Yang Mingzhi had a strong premonition that after today, the enemy would inevitably appear the next day.

He checked his own people, the strength of the special anti-tank battalion was replenished, and only this battalion was fully formed in the entire 284th Division, and Yevlov even ridiculed that the strength at hand as the temporary division commander was not as good as his own battalion commander. Of course, Yang Mingzhi was also under his command, and in fact, the remnants of the entire division were actually under the control of this Chinese.

The evacuees had already left Moziri, and they were walking on dirt roads with large quantities of baggage.

The autumn rainy season that Yang Mingzhi knew had not yet arrived, and by that time the German army's logistical nightmare would immediately come to the fore. Now that the ground is hard, the German armored forces can look down on it.

Artillery was deployed to the perimeter of the city to block defensive positions. The soldiers made sandbags to build positions and even pushed artillery into the groves to camouflage.

88 guns, this is the pride of the Germans, and later this artillery as a tank gun, the Tiger tank came into being. It was really a cannon reimbursement for a Soviet tank, forcing the Soviet army and the Allies on the Western Front to often need the special 34 sea and Xie Mantou sea to exchange with the German army, and the battle loss ratio was very exaggerated.

So the Romanians arrived, and what awaited them was a devastating and precise artillery bombardment.

As expected, the scout did send a telegram, and it was already evening, and the military headquarters was immediately busy.

Yang Mingzhi just wanted to rest early, hug his wife and enjoy the happiness before the war. The soldier hurried to him and asked him to go to the military headquarters for a meeting.

Kuznetsov moved the headquarters to the municipal building, Yang Mingzhi arrived, and the officers who should have come were due. Everyone stood around the table, and a large map was laid out, and stones were already placed on it.

"Comrades, everything was said by that Frankenstein, and the Romanians were moving closer to us. Our multiple groups of scouts have discovered the enemy, whose banner is completely different from that of the Germans, and who must be the army of the client state. ”

"Since they dare to come, I will beat them!" An officer said impassionedly.

"Constanta, courage is good, preparation is the key to victory. Our scouts found them camping, and they would arrive in Mozili as soon as tomorrow. They will have a small number of tanks in their ranks, and there will be more armored vehicles. But compared to the Germans, they still had too few heavy weapons. ”

This simple meeting was just about how to deal with the enemy, and the officers had no other objections, and the war should be done according to the previous plan. The fighters had already dug a number of foxholes, and machine-gun positions had been erected.

When asked if there were any objections, Yang Mingzhi suddenly had an idea, and he excitedly held on to the table. "Comrades, I have a brilliant idea."

Everyone listened attentively, Yang Mingzhi looked at everyone, and the map used stones to indicate the location of the Romanians. He also took out a stone and drew it back and forth on the map, which was actually a sand table deduction.

"I hope we can make full use of the captured half-track armored vehicles. This is the equipment of the German army, and we can perfectly carry out tactical deception......"

Yang Mingzhi's idea was of great interest to almost all the officers present, even a fool knew that those half-track armored vehicles must represent the German army.

"The battle has begun, the Romanians have been suddenly attacked by our troops, and they are already going to attack our troops in a big way. After all, the enemy was much worse than the Germans, they could not break our defenses, and when they were about to retreat, our troops suddenly killed a bunch of half-track armored vehicles from the flanks, and they must have thought that they had met the Germans. They would not have been wary, and then they were desperately strafed by machine guns, and at that time it was a double blow to this Romanian unit, both psychologically and physically. ”

The officers just thought the tactic was interesting and unprepared, but Kuznetsov saw the doorway, because it was very typical.

"Berekov, do as you say, I'll be the first to support as a commander. You, the Chinese, are not simple, the two armies are facing each other, one side cannot support it and begins to retreat, and the cavalry quickly attacks a large number of killing and wounding effective forces. It's simple and brutal but it's efficient, and I like it. ”

Yang Mingzhi grinned, this tactic is almost a classic tactic in the era of queuing and shooting, in the new era, armored vehicles are the new cavalry. He was already looking forward to a new day, when a surprise attack awaited the Romanians.

What is even more shameful is that the Soviet army will quickly retreat after the victory, and by the way, the bridge will also be blown up. By the time the Romanian army was severely crippled, the worries of the retreat of the large army were gone.
