Since dawn, the soldiers of the unit have been getting up one after another.

The bonfire burned all night, and in the second half of the night the flames were much smaller and warmer, and the flames were strong again due to the accumulation of dry wood.

A thin morning mist filled the forest, and the soldiers who got up early had already begun to heat up their breakfasts. Everyone knew that at about six o'clock in the morning, the troops could be mobilized.

Yang Mingzhi, like everyone else, ate the sweet and fragrant paste in the lunch box. His bags had been prepared, and it was planned that before seven o'clock, the troops would set off decisively.

The night was uneventful, and this area was indeed no man's land.

Yang Mingzhi's illusion was quickly shattered.

The sentry returned with two "captives", and the people in the camp were amazed at the sight of outsiders.

And the same is true of the two women, these soldiers are so neat in uniform, so good-looking, aren't they regular soldiers?

The two women were taken directly to Yang Mingzhi's headquarters.

"Report to Comrade Commander, we found two women picking mushrooms, they are suspected of being guerrillas in the vicinity!"

Knowing this, Yang Mingzhi decisively put down the lunch box......

After a little inquiry, the two women explained everything they knew.

It turned out that they did belong to a guerrilla brigade, and their number was not small.

"What, there are more than a thousand of your people, what are your names? Black Bear Guerrilla Brigade? Your team is not small! ”

For this situation, how can Yang Mingzhi not be excited? This brigade, which is transliterated from Russian to "Thurny Medvedjie", has a population of more than 1,000 men, women, and children, and the number of troops that can fight is one battalion in size. Even a middle-aged woman like this can carry a gun, and as long as she can shoot, she can be used as a soldier.

Based on this situation, the plan had to change.

This guerrilla brigade uses the domineering name "Black Bear", in fact, because their captain is surnamed Medvedev. Hehe, Medvedev meant to be a bear.

Yang Mingzhi improvised his thoughts: "Hey! You two, we're from the swamps to the southeast, and I want to meet your captain! ”

When it comes to this request, the woman is somewhat wary.

"Don't be afraid! I am a regular member of the Red Army, and this time we are specially destroying the enemy's prisoners of war and rescuing people, and by the way, we are looking for partisans in difficult situations. Yang Mingzhi snapped his fingers; Abram, bring a donkey. ”

Because the troops were about to leave, the sacks of flour were carried by donkeys. A donkey brought in, Yang Mingzhi pointed and said, "Look, how about such a meeting gift?" I see you're digging mushrooms, and I'm sure there's not much food, so I'll give you this flour! Please take us to your captain now! I give it to you personally! ”

The women could not be fully trusted at first, because the Germans were too cunning, and they used a lot of traitors to form troops and let the Belarusians go and destroy the Belarusian partisans. The Black Bear Brigade has suffered such a loss, but when the woman sees so much food, her wariness is gone.

The woman confessed that the so-called Black Bear Brigade is now only four or five kilometers away from here. Yang Mingzhi decisively spread out the map and asked the woman to identify him.

"Probably here, I see that you have a lot of food and good weapons and equipment. It would be great if you could give us a share! ”

Yang Mingzhi didn't feel the middle-aged woman's request, if they were beautiful girls in their twenty-eight years, it would be different.

He responded, "Take us first, and then make a decision when I know your specific situation!" Now, aren't you two hungry? Abram, give them something to eat! ”

Yang Mingzhi has made up his mind, no matter what attitude this black bear brigade has, since they have been met by themselves, they must be absorbed. Therefore, it is necessary to show their strength in order to make them gladly accept the incorporation.

The two women were obviously hungry, and when they heard a pack of biscuit powder and canned beef, they quickly ate it cleanly. In order to avoid choking, Yang Mingzhi also provided a kettle, and when they drank into the spout, they realized that it was not water at all—it was black tea.

Stunned on the woman's face, Yang Mingzhi took the opportunity to say: "This is the strong strength of our Red Army in the swamp, I will answer you now, of course I can provide very rich food, you will lead me to the wrong route in a while." I must see your captain quickly! ”

……

The location of the "Black Bear Brigade" marked by the woman was not far from the strong camp of the troops, but the troops had to be offset for some distance, and the battle to attack Bainiu Village would also be delayed for a while. In addition, the purpose of attacking Bainiu Village was also to save prisoners of war and increase troops, and the same was true for the Black Bear Brigade.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi felt that this vast Belarusian forest could really be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In the towns occupied by the Germans, not all Belarusians were killed by them, but more often hid in the forest. As long as you look carefully, you can still find a lot of people.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the whole army set out as scheduled.

More than 4,000 men advanced towards the position of the Black Bear Brigade, and the troops walked about four kilometers to be the first to be discovered by their sentinels.

The woman yelled, "Don't be afraid! They are not enemies! They are the Red Army......"

It took several shouts of this to make the sentries of the Black Bear Brigade come to their senses. They were so frightened that a large number of men suddenly appeared in the forest, and the partisans, who had been avoiding contact with the superior German forces, were not afraid, unless they boasted victory.

Yang Mingzhi walked steadily, his military uniform was very neat, and he even deliberately changed into a large-brimmed military hat that was almost unnecessary, and he deliberately displayed his medal with his chest held high.

Three guerrilla fighters in civilian clothes stood in front of him, and at this moment, beside Yang Mingzhi stood hundreds of well-armed Red Army soldiers, and the sentries were stunned.

"Little comrade! Don't be nervous, we are the regular troops of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Are you a black bear guerrilla brigade? Show us the way now. ”

The sentinels were still a little overwhelmed, but they were originally villagers and had just reached adulthood. Last spring, they escaped by not being conscripted in the Soviet Union. With the defeat of the Soviet army and the fall of Belarus, the suffering began.

The soldier threw them a small piece of black bread, and the sentry immediately greeted them with a smile and, after quickly eating it, immediately acted as a guide.

"It seems that food is the best friend!" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but lament, and then ordered: "Guards, inform Bondanov, Rychev, and Peroniski to rest in place, inform Joshua, pull the donkey, and prepare some food." Abram, take the rest of you and come with me! ”

Abram was shocked: "Commander! You're going to go in person?! ”

"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi instantly understood, and gave him a blank look: "What, are you worried about my safety?" Don't worry! You don't have to worry at all! ”

In this operation, the total amount of food seized was not much. A dozen bags of flour were given as gifts to that black bear brigade, so more than a thousand people could quickly consume it.

Before they arrived at their camp, the landscape was overly untouched by a dense forest of tall birches, oaks, red pines and beeches. They either attacked the Germans to find their warehouses, or they caught animals such as marmots, squirrels, and wild birds to eat. But what's going on?

At most, they dig up wild vegetables and mushrooms to feed thousands of people, which is really difficult.

Yang Mingzhi only brought more than 30 people, and the two paratrooper battalions lined up and advanced some distance.

In fact, one of the sentries had already run into their camp, and the entire black bear brigade was in a mess. Because the sentinels had spoken incorrectly, a large crowd of people outside the camp, and the exhausted people instinctively thought of the enemy.

It wasn't until their leader slapped the sentry a few times that he explained the situation in detail.

"It's the regular army of the Red Army, they appeared! It's an ally! ”
