In the army, especially the grassroots soldiers, most people's thinking is to seize the opportunity to chase and attack the German army.

Especially the rank and file officers, who were very radical in their thinking. Such people can train soldiers into a group of "beasts", and if the "reins" of political commissars and senior officers cannot tie them, the consequences will be very troublesome.

The Soviet army is not the Japanese army, and that kind of tradition does not exist at all. When necessary, the political commissars at the grassroots level can immediately punish soldiers who are too aggressive, and even directly enforce battlefield discipline without being tried by a military court.

Through personally leading the troops to fight this time, Yang Mingzhi also fully understood the thoughts of the soldiers.

Their will to fight is very high, and they are not afraid of sacrifice, even regarded it as honorable. They are eager to fight, eager to kill the enemy, and even eager to kill prisoners of war cleanly.

During the nine days of the battle, there was either a battle or a march, and none of the soldiers complained, and everyone persevered to the end.

It is natural that this high will to fight exists in elite troops, but if the troops absorb too many militiamen, will these people be able to fight a tough battle? It's an unknown.

Yang Mingzhi knelt on the desk and frowned slightly: "Comrades! Are we ready for a larger operation? I think the answer to many people is yes.

We have been training intensively throughout April, including the militia units, and these skills and tactics have been strengthened in terms of physical fitness, weapon handling and team coordination. As a result, many people feel that our strength has increased dramatically, and if we fight again, like the end of January, the enemy has already left 10,000 corpses and fled.

I think! This kind of thinking is too optimistic!

Comrades, our superiors will give us military tasks, and looking at all our actions over the past year, our methods of operation are all raids and movement operations! We relied on our strong mobility and short-term superior firepower to achieve a combat effect similar to that of the Blitzkrieg, which the Germans were proud of.

Please note! That doesn't mean we can be invincible with this! You must understand what our enemies have been so far!

They were all second- and third-line troops of the German army, and these people bullied some poorly equipped resistance groups and villagers who could only resist with sticks. What's more, there are some puppet soldiers, most of these traitors are trying to eat for the German army, and they run away as soon as the guns are fired!

Of course, we can achieve great things against such an enemy, but if we use troops against Kyiv, we must have the awareness that we are likely to encounter a major German attack!

The elite units of the German army usually enter the Donbas basin through the railway in Kyiv, and once they feel that Kyiv is threatened, they will decisively send the elite troops north, and then we will have to fight the German army, which is equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and bombers, and at that time, we can still win them? ”

After Yang Mingzhi's words were finished, he drank some water and looked at the stunned people in the audience.

His words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to the proud and complacent guys.

After all, the victories so far have been under the command of him, the former chief of staff of the 284th Division, the commander of the group army. He said that winning, fighting is a big victory, and now his attitude is suddenly a little pessimistic.

Salinchkin was also completely unaware of this, and he did not raise his hand, but got up directly from his seat and asked: "So, Comrade Berekov, your attitude is that as soon as the higher authorities order us to operate on a large scale, whether the operation is successful or not, we will encounter a strong retaliation from the Germans?" ”

"Isn't that so?" Yang Mingzhi glanced at him sideways, then looked at the audience with blazing eyes, raised his voice and continued: "Comrades, my speech at today's meeting is very important. When the superiors gave us the order to attack a certain target, I had to draw up a detailed battle plan.

The battle against the city of Kharkov will be of great scale, and its success will mean the liberation of the Donbass region. But even if they are hugely successful, we don't get to enjoy the benefits of success. Because we have proved ourselves to be harmful to the German army with our actions, they will send their most elite troops and the most elite weapons to encircle us!

As the commander of the army group, I must think about what will happen after the end of the large-scale battle in the future! I had to give orders to the officers sitting here, and to the representatives of the collective farms! Put away your inflated self-confidence, and we must be ready for this June and July, perhaps our most critical years! ”

The delegates who originally participated in this meeting believed that the meeting was mainly about the discussion of the latest operation and the arrangement of the production of the workers and peasants at home. Then the three collective farms had a heated discussion about the distribution of the 8,000 men they had brought back, and at last the battle and life went on track.

This is good, the commander of the army group made a very serious warning, could it be that the troops will inevitably engage the elite troops of the German army?

The joyful atmosphere of the establishment of the guerrilla republic and the victory in the battle was quickly dispelled by the imminent threat.

Stupid people are always immersed in the glory of the past, selectively ignoring the danger that is slowly approaching. Smart people focus on the future, and star fruit does not ask for its own words to make everyone immediately aware of the danger in a month, as long as some people are aware, the next thing will be easy to do.

There was a lot of chaos in this big conference room, some people were full of expectations for the hard battle, and some had to worry a lot. Novgomel is not what it used to be, there are more pots and jars, and it would be a pity if they were destroyed by the enemy.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Yang Mingzhi's loud order quieted the venue again. "Comrades, if you have any questions, please raise your hand and stand up and say."

The venue was quiet for a while, and the commander of the 233 Brigade of the paratroopers, Tepunov, raised his hand and stood up.

The brigade commander had always been a little annoyed that he had not received permission to go out in the battle that had just ended, and he and the rest of the troops held on to Novgomel to guard against the enemy's counterattack. It's a pity, if there was a counterattack, the enemy would have acted a long time ago! As a result, the enemy was like a shrunken turtle, and the sentinels scattered around the forest found nothing.

Fortunately, most of his people returned safely, sacrificing a few soldiers, which had no impact on the establishment of the entire army, and he couldn't believe the current casualties!

And the reason for all this is the use of new weapons in combat.

"Comrade Commander, I think that even if the enemy's elite troops attack our army, we will have the strength to fight against it!"

Yang Mingzhi's eyes lit up, and after a little pondering, he was a little displeased: "Oh? The paratroopers were the elite of the Red Army, of course, they had the confidence to say such things, but ......"

"Yes! Comrade Commander is not at ease with ordinary soldiers, but we must be aware of the fact that our army is currently equipped with a large number of excellent weapons. After that, Tepnov simply turned sideways and looked at everyone present: "Comrades! We all know that more than 8,000 people were rescued in this battle, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and the main source of our casualties was the disease caused by the rain. Comrade Secretary just gave a brief account of the results of this operation, and the vast majority of comrades did not know the details.

I need to explain it to you now! At the internal meeting of my 233 brigade, the two battalion commanders who participated in the operation explained a shocking result! With just a few rocket launchers, we crushed the enemy's barracks, and the towering mushroom cloud was like a volcanic eruption, and a large number of enemies were not killed, but died from shockwave shocks, burning, and suffocation!

And the price we paid was the loss of a few rockets, their barracks were blown down by the impact, the extreme heat killed the people inside, and hundreds of enemies died in an instant. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience trembled. Tepunov was at first puzzled by this description of the battle, believing that his two battalion commanders would not lie, and this retelling of their words added fuel to the fire.
