In fact, Balzen's reconnaissance battalion set off at four o'clock in the morning, and since Yang Mingzhi sent the signal, they have already galloped more than 20 kilometers.

In daily training, the Scout's training is the most rigorous. They not only have to do rigorous endurance training and resistance training, but also learn military physical boxing and cold weapon fighting. Therefore, the comprehensive quality of these people can be described as the best in the army!

Their physical fitness is extremely high, their skills and tactics are excellent, and they boast that they are several times stronger than paratroopers. To be worthy of their pride, scouts must do tangible things.

On the march, the reconnaissance battalion received the order of the "Catfish".

"Damn! We've gone too far! "Balzen decisively ordered the troops to stop for the time being." Leobersov, come over to me! ”

A soldier named Leobersov, who had infiltrated a few months ago as a Komsomol member, had a good level of mathematics. He went through a series of trainings that qualified him to become a scout.

However, his greatest value is not to fight bravely, just looking at the map and the location of the marker, it can be said that the existence of this man makes up for the greatest deficiency of the semi-literate Balzen.

Along the way, the troops estimated the course of the march, and these rough data were handed to Leobersov, who quickly drew on the map with a ruler and finally determined the direction of the next march and the expected journey.

"Well done! Young man, when I get back, I'll apply to the chief and bring you a bottle of wine!" Balzen smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder, and then turned to all the soldiers who were half-crouching and resting: "Brothers, the commander orders us to meet them at once. It seems that this battle against Bainiu Village will not be easy. Are you afraid, brethren? ”

"Accompaniment! Smash the Nazis' dog heads! A young warrior with a strong blood stood up with his fists held high.

Then, the crowd stood up and collectively called Ullah.

"Good! Brethren! We are Comrade Berekov's sharp knives, and now it's time for the sharp knives to return to his master and slaughter the white bull! All, follow me! ”

Ten minutes after the message came out, Yang Mingzhi received a reply from Balzen.

Unexpectedly, they had already walked about thirty kilometers all the way south, and they reached the perimeter of the target as soon as 11 a.m. This mobility is gratifying, they will not be very tired, and as it stands, they may win with one battalion against two battalions of the enemy, but at a great cost.

They had corrected their direction and were heading towards the current camp of the large army.

Yang Mingzhi hurriedly gave an order: "The whole army rests in place and waits for the reconnaissance battalion to join forces." ”

……

In order to make peace as soon as possible, the two armies sent a lot of scouts, and two huge search nets appeared in the forest.

There was no problem with the math, the scouts found each other, and the two armies met at half past twelve at noon.

Balzen was filled with a desire to fight, and he dragged his excited body to the headquarters to report quickly, and then, shocked by the sight before him.

"Commander! Over here! There are a lot of civilians here! ”

Yang Mingzhi patted the trembling face: "This is a guerrilla force, the name is the Black Bear Brigade. Come! Let me introduce you to it, this is their captain Medvedev......"

Now that Balzen had arrived, the battle meeting against the White Cow Village began immediately.

All the battalion commanders were in a hurry, and Paul managed the rescued Peroniski, and Medvedev.

A group of people gathered together and crouched on the ground, pointing at the spread map.

"Comrades, please pay attention. Our new friend Dmitry Medvedev illustrates the strength of the enemy in the village of White Cow! It has to be said that this will be the most formidable enemy we will encounter in this operation. They were an infantry battalion and a pseudo-military battalion with a total strength of about a thousand people. In my opinion, their individual armament is very average, and there will not be a lot of machine guns. However, they have heavy weapons! They had at least two tanks, and a number of half-track armored vehicles, and we met hard bones. Now let's have our opinions! ”

Hearing this, Balzen was disdainful. He said suspiciously: "Commander, we made a name for ourselves by annihilating a tank regiment of the German army, and at this time the commander was afraid of their tanks?" ”

"Scared? How can it be! Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and smiled: "We are not what we used to be, more than half of the large number of RPGs we carried on this trip have not been used, not to mention that our army still has anti-tank robbery." The armored vehicles of the Nazis were meaningless. ”

"Exactly, why should we be afraid?!" Balzen said solemnly: "Since the commander of the army has asked us to express our opinions, I will say it without shame. In yesterday's battle, I knocked out all the rocket artillery, and that Olichnovo was blown upside down, and I was unscathed. My battalion is very combat-ready, and its strength is even more abundant. I've always been good at fighting tough battles, and if you want me to say, what if my battalion is attacked wildly, and the enemy has a thousand people, they are simply a thousand pigs! ”

"That's it! I'm glad you have that confidence, but you forgot a whole month ago? ”

Yang Mingzhi didn't want to reveal the scar, and he didn't reveal it now. This Balzen can be described as a war maniac, he has some schemes, and when he claims to have a great advantage, his IQ plummets, just like the normal way of solving problems - a big stick is smashed directly over.

"Balzen, in fact, even if you don't come, I will lead the paratroopers to a storm, and the enemy will be defeated. Unfortunately, such an outcome is bound to come at a huge cost. I do not expect that there will be no sacrifices in this operation, and even if there are sacrifices, I hope that the Red Army soldiers will die as few as possible. So, I have to wait for you! ”

After a little bit of dialing, Balzen slightly understood what the chief meant. It seems that the commander still has to play the same tactics as before. That is, first send people to reconnoitre, and then determine a detailed battle plan, when the battle begins, the troops will attack from multiple directions, and finally completely annihilate the enemy.

This tactic has been tried and tested, and there are drawbacks, namely that it takes a certain amount of time.

Balzen reminded slightly; "Comrade Commander! I have to tell you that on our march we came across several German patrols. To be honest, they usually work in groups of a dozen people, and to exterminate them is like pinching them to death. In order to avoid exposure, we did not come into contact with them. However, the more we marched, the more such search teams were encountered, and it seemed that a series of attacks by our army had woken up all the enemies in this area! ”

"Maybe that's why!" Medvedev raised his hand. The man had been annoyed by the permanent camp that the enemy had painstakingly run for destroying his man, and he was so helpless that the enemy had suddenly broken into him, and now it dawned on him. "Perhaps it was your acts of sabotage that woke up the enemy. They searched everywhere, my men were already targeted, and they must still be looking for us in the forest. Now that I have been placed under your leadership, you have an obligation to ensure the safety of the lives of more than 800 civilians."

"Yes! I know! Yang Mingzhi said loudly to him.

The scene was a little awkward, and everyone sensed that the chief seemed to be angry.

In fact, Yang Mingzhi is now under a lot of pressure. Liberated prisoners of war could theoretically be used as soldiers, as long as they had weapons. It's a pity, how can there be so many weapons now? More than 2,000 people at least found some sticks in the woods, and sharpened their ends. The stick is not a weapon, it is purely used as a crutch.

Including all the armed personnel of the Black Bear Brigade, the current combat strength is nearly 3,000 people, of which the most combative force is 1,800 people, but the left and right personnel are as high as 7,000 people! What kind of concept is this? Novgomel's population now has 43,000 people, and now the total number of people under his control reaches 7,000, which is one-sixth of Novgomel's!

It is impossible for the troops to move with a large number of non-combatants to attack Bainiu Village, and it is destined to be attended by only a small number of people.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi knew that he had to take a risk.
