Chapter 555: Preparing to Receive Supplies
Opposite to the shooting training of the youth battalion, it is the scene of Yang Mingzhi foaming at the division headquarters and flying stars. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yevlov chaired the afternoon meeting, and with Yerentina's return, the discussion intensified.
On the huge table of the division headquarters was a large map, and the pencil had remarked the current situation map. Balzen frequently sent reports about the construction of defensive lines by the Germans in the north, and obtained some new information based on the confessions of several captured White Russians who dug for the Germans.
Therefore, the German defense line marked on the map was quite long, and they did not need to build a "Great Wall", just spread the troops and build large and small machine gun artillery fortresses. Such a scene really reminded Yang Mingzhi of the little devil, and the May Day Sweep in 1942 was obviously inevitable.
A small butterfly can make waves in Belarus and Ukraine, but its impact on China is very weak.
Regarding the "cage tactics" of the Germans, Yang Mingzhi has no more brains to think of countermeasures at the moment, and Yevlov has already turned the topic to the reception of materials.
At this meeting, representatives of the Soviet commissars of the three collective farms arrived, as well as the commanders of various battalions of the army, members of the Gomel city committee, representatives of the Komsomol and so on. The main personnel of Novgomel gathered once in order to discuss the upcoming operation for the acceptance of supplies.
Yevlov gave a brief account of the operation planned by the commander of the Front, and the huge formation of nearly 200 planes in total was shocking.
Even more shocking is the fact that a regiment of airborne troops will enter this area.
Yevlov suppressed his excitement and fully explained the situation to the manuscript step by step, he could no longer hold back, and simply raised his voice excitedly: "Comrades! Think about it, seven hundred and twenty tons of various supplies! There is ammunition, there is food, there is medicine! And a regiment of airborne troops became our new comrades-in-arms! Our food and ammunition problems will be solved in an all-round way, and more than 2,000 paratroopers will be added to our troops and incorporated into the 284th Guards Infantry Division, and our strength will be unprecedentedly enhanced! ”
Yang Mingzhi noticed that most of the people attending the meeting were dumbfounded, and their eyes were as wide as cow eggs, and some of them trembled all over.
It's so cold, "Looks like someone should break the cold!" Yang Mingzhi suddenly raised his hands and roared, "Ula! ”
The scene suddenly became lively, and with a bang, in exchange for everyone's ula, the entire division headquarters fell into the sea of Ula.
The astonished people quickly pondered what had befallen them, and it was clear that with this batch of aid, coupled with the results of large-scale military and civilian production, 1942 would be a year of great achievements! Victory is no longer out of reach, and the troops should probably reach a wider area and contribute greatly to the counteroffensive.
The cheering lasted for five minutes, and it didn't stop until the people were tired and their mouths were dry.
Yevlov held out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Comrades, you now know the situation, the long-awaited airdrop will come in a few days, and then each collective farm will receive its own tasks, and the soldiers of each battalion will take charge of their own areas. The superior has prepared a life-sustaining gift for us, and whether we can receive it safely depends on our actions this time! ”
It turned out that before the formal meeting, Yang Mingzhi held closed-door consultations with Yevlov, Yelenkina and other senior personnel.
At the heart of the discussion was how to arrange for people to receive supplies.
The Germans were building a defense system 100 kilometers away parallel to the road, where heavy artillery would theoretically cover an area within a radius of 15 kilometers, and if they had anti-aircraft guns, planes would have been shot down mercilessly.
What's more, once a large group of 200 planes appears in the sky, and a large number of "dandelions" fall in the wind, how will this make the enemy feel?!
For a while, the atmosphere of the closed-door consultation meeting became serious, and Yang Mingzhi and others believed that only one month after the end of the battle, the German troops in this area had suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult for them to gather troops to counterattack in a short time. Especially now that the condition and numbers of the German units are known, the likelihood of them attacking is even lower. A very simple logic, if they insist on attacking, why bother to build a defensive line?
But vigilance is also a good tradition of the 284th Division.
A large number of aircraft of the Soviet Air Force will drop supplies and personnel on the collective farm area with the catfish village as the core, after all, the coordinates have long been mastered by the superiors. The farmers of each collective farm and the soldiers of each unit will be given a territory to which they will be held.
However, no one can deny that if the German army must attack hard, wouldn't the enemy take advantage of the loophole if the troops were not prepared at all?!
As a result, the responsibilities of the personnel who received the mission this time were also adjusted.
So, at the official meeting, Yevlov directly began to assign tasks to everyone according to the draft.
People picked up their notebooks and listened intently. All plans have already been made, and the villagers and soldiers only need to obey completely.
According to the arrangement, since the three collective farms could form a large triangular area, the farmer was responsible for the reception of this triangular area.
Thousands of soldiers are in charge of the area beyond the triangle, how long is this area? It is a circle with a radius of twenty kilometers! It is the farthest distance that the sentinel observation posts arranged by the various collective farms outside the village!
Yang Mingzhi saw that the majority of the participants were quickly sitting and taking notes, because Yevlov also said a lot of details. Such as the search for various materials after the glider fell, the salvage of the materials after falling into the mud pond, the rescue of the paratroopers hanging their umbrella covers on trees, and so on.
What surprised Yang Mingzhi the most was that the airdrop really contained ethylene oxide, which was provided as a disinfectant, and there were 50 cylinders.
Lao Maozi's big personality will always make people feel unreliable, and if these cylinders leak due to a hard landing, it will be quite dangerous. "Don't blow yourself up before you have a thermobaric bomb!" Yang Mingzhi hoped that Yevlov would also say this, but he didn't say a word.
This Mao Zi also spoke very quickly, and of course the notes of the participants were also amazingly fast.
A bunch of ghost drawings on the notebook Yang Mingzhi didn't bother to complain, and he could only pray in his heart that this airdrop was a success.
The tasks were arranged one after another, but the two battalions were not ordered. Evgeny and Lavlendi were staring at the commanders with inexplicable eyes.
At this time, Yang Mingzhi was pushed and pulled, and he knew that it was his turn to speak.
"Comrades, the division commander has already arranged the order, and when you go back, you will order your own people to supervise the area for which you are responsible, and when you see the air force drop supplies and gliders land, collect them as quickly as possible, and I will not emphasize it in terms of discipline, and all the materials will be gathered in the empty fields of the various collective farms." With that, Yang Mingzhi coughed twice and announced the final order. "Lavrenty, Evgeny, stand up."
These two have been cold for a long time, and they are really excited to finally have their turn.
"Considering that the enemy is likely to see our planes and paratroopers in the sky, there will be a great deal of panic, and it will turn into an offensive campaign! We are not afraid of fighting, but we are afraid of fighting without playing and not letting us breathe. So just in case, your two battalions are ready for battle at once, and you will march into the forest near the road to meet Balzen. Your mission is to watch the enemy's every move, and if they dare to attack, you will be the first to fight! ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The two said in unison.
The price paid by the troops in the last campaign was really too little compared to the enemy's losses, and the self-confidence of the soldiers of the battalions has soared, and they are now forced to participate in the agricultural reclamation one by one, in fact, the majority of soldiers still hope to continue to go to the battlefield in their hearts! The soldiers' commendation meeting was shelved because of the production campaign, and now a large number of materials from the superiors are about to be delivered, presumably the commendation meeting has to be postponed.
Now is the opportunity to reap the record, and many battalion commanders suddenly envy the "lucky" Lavrenj and Evgeny.
Because of the imminent launch of a special operation to receive supplies, the agricultural reclamation will also be temporarily suspended. The military is responsible for a large area, and it has to be prepared for both. Each soldier will carry a weapon, with a battalion as a large unit responsible for a large area, and a squad unit for patrol and search. Receiving supplies is one task, and the other is that once the situation changes dramatically and the enemy attacks on a large scale, the troops must have the ability to quickly rush to the battlefield to stop the enemy's attack.
Everyone received their orders, and the meeting ended at 5 p.m. After the meeting ended, the participants got on the jeep and went straight to their respective villages and organizations.
Now, a new round of airdrops is finally coming, and Yang Mingzhi believes that this is just the beginning, and a new show is about to be staged.
