Chapter Seventy-Five: Luvanka's Rally Point

The battle was over, and the biggest result found by the troops was these twenty heavy artillery shells. There are a large amount of high explosives in these bomb bodies, and Yang Mingzhi is a little greedy, and it would be a good thing for the troops to take away all the explosives.

He stroked the shells very boldly, they did not explode, but the body itself was a little hot.

Just as he was checking, a company commander trotted all the way to report the situation.

"How? What good things you found in this convoy. ”

"There are good things, such as four general-purpose machine guns, and more than 200 rifles, and more than 20 working submachine guns."

"So little? They shouldn't have so few people, I thought there were at least 400 rifles. ”

The commander of the first company regretted that because the artillery fire was too fierce, many of the enemy's weapons, as well as the enemy itself and even their steel helmets, were blown up, and many K98 rifles had become burning sticks. "All the weapons we can get, and the ammunition, we have collected everything we can collect. We used a lot of ammunition in this battle, and there was no problem with the Germans. ”

Yang Mingzhi then asked: "Is this convoy transporting ammunition, since they have heavy artillery shells, they must also have ordinary ammunition." ”

The commander of the first company denied it, and it turned out that the convoy was transporting shells in addition to food and special ammunition. There are more shells in the anti-aircraft guns, but there are no ordinary bullets at all.

It's a pity, it seems that there is not much to be gained from this battle.

"Deputy division commander, we still got some flour and even canned meat in this battle." The first company commander had just deliberately sold a pass, and now he was smiling.

It would also be good to get a lot of food, and Yang Mingzhi saw a large number of canned products, which were filled with pickled beef and some German sauerkraut. Their number is very large, dozens of wagons are loaded with these.

Some of the flour was not burned, and the soldiers scrambled to fill it in the sacks they carried with them. Yang Mingzhi gave an order, all the soldiers replenished supplies on the spot, and everything that could be used and taken away was taken away. Everything that could not be taken away is still here, and it stands to reason that what cannot be taken away will be destroyed immediately. But when I thought of those heavy artillery shells, they were too powerful to detonate at the same time, so I simply threw them here and ignored them. He also ordered the soldiers to carry away one or two of them and collect the explosives and gunpowder of the warheads.

After a while, the commander of the second company, Yevgeny, also came to report the good news, and his troops found three German soldiers who were pretending to be dead. After being punched and kicked by Soviet soldiers, he was escorted to Yang Mingzhi.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi had retreated to the forest to rest, and the soldiers were smiling, they were very satisfied with the spoils of this battle, most of the people were replenished with bullets and food, and even daily necessities.

Yerentina shook the dust from her hair, she had just finished washing her face, and the approval of that Kronikov was going on in a moment. Now she is going to interrogate the German prisoners with Berekov first.

The three unlucky guys, already beaten with bruises and swollen faces, knelt down in front of the Soviet commander.

"What is the purpose of your trip? Where are you going to send the goods? Yerentina asked.

The three of them looked at each other and each answered.

"Don't understand? Let me ask you again, where is your destination? If you don't, I'll shoot you right now. As she spoke, Yerentina threatened to load her revolver.

Yang Mingzhi didn't know what the threat of this Cheka girl could achieve, but these three guys were really hard-mouthed. At this time, a guy suddenly said something, Yelenkina was obviously angry, and shot this person, Yang Mingzhi was startled.

"Yerenkina, how can you shoot this person at will?"

"Me? This man is scolding us, and he is threatening us. ”

Yerentina explained that it turned out that at one o'clock in the afternoon, there was still a German convoy coming, and the so-called German army would inevitably retaliate when they found out about the situation, and no one would be able to run away at that time.

Yang Mingzhi thought about it, he had planned to run away before the war, and this retreat to the swamp could be regarded as completing the mission of Kirponos.

"We're going to have to deal a bigger blow to the Germans." Yerentina was so angry that she turned her guns on the other two. People were afraid of death, and the two German prisoners were immediately frightened, and muttered words of sparing their lives.

Yang Mingzhi felt gripping Yelenkina's muzzle: "Listen to them, maybe these people tell the information for the reason." ”

Yelenkina let go of her hand, and the gun was taken away by Yang Mingzhi. She looked at the two captives with angry eyes, and now they were finally willing to cooperate, and at the same time, Yang Mingzhi also decided to spare them for not dying.

Yelenkina relayed Yang Mingzhi's decision: "You two can live, we will tie you up and stay on this battlefield, and your people will naturally come over after a few hours." The premise is that you must tell us everything you know. ”

As a result, the captives revealed that their destination was the town of Luvanka in the east, which by this time had become a transshipment base for German front-line cargo. A large amount of supplies were piled up there and used as a back warehouse for the front line. After all, it was dangerous to put a large amount of supplies in the occupied city of Lechitsa, and it was too easy for the Soviet partisans and the Soviet air force to blow up the warehouses.

The two men explained everything they knew in order to survive, and they directly stated that all the residents of that town were wiped out, leaving only those who were willing to cooperate. The entire town became a warehouse, and their sheriff was in charge of the escort.

Yang Mingzhi listened to Yerenkina's translation, and he sensed that there were fighters in it. "If we blow up the warehouses of this town, wouldn't it be the front line of the Soviet army that is directly supported?" Yang Mingzhi looked at Yelenkina with bright eyes.

The Cheka girl shook her head: "Berekov, you are so crazy, are you going to attack that Luvanka town?" That's a town, how do we attack them? We have too few troops! ”

The headquarters of the security division was in the town of Luvanka, and this unit was organized into a number of escort units in battalions, and the Germans stationed at least one regiment there, according to the prisoners.

Yang Mingzhi flipped out the map, and the use value of those captives had been exhausted. Now there is one more choice in front of him, that Luvanka Town, whether to fight it.

Suddenly, he thought of a way, is it okay to lure the snake out of the hole? As long as the enemy's large forces are lured out of the city, and elite troops are sent into the town to wreak havoc on the warehouses, the strategic intent is accomplished.

But how do you lure the enemy out? A plan comes to mind.

Yelenkina interrupted Yang Mingzhi's thoughts. "How? Do you have a plan to attack that town? “

"It's not impossible!"

Yang Mingzhi stood up, and he called the telegraph operator. "Send a message to Yevlov and say that the mission plan has changed, and we are going east." At this moment, Yang Mingzhi has already made up his mind, he is the deputy division commander and the commander of this army, and the next target is Luwanka Town, as for how to fight, this will be discussed later.

Now there is one more thing to settle, the trial of Kronnikov who attacked without permission has begun.

This man has regained his thoughts, he is very afraid of death, and his heart is very unconvinced.

The makeshift military tribunal was in the forest, and for this man, he was almost determined to be sentenced to death, and even his grave was dug up.

"Kronikov, you did not follow orders, and the battle plan almost failed. I sentenced you to death in accordance with the Red Army Disciplinary Regulations, do you have anything else to say now? Yerentina asked forcefully.

Kronnikov was silent for a while, and said slowly: "My family is dead, I am ruthless to the Germans, so I took the initiative to attack, I want to avenge my family." This is what I joined the Red Army for, and I didn't expect my result to be like this. ”

Yang Mingzhi was holding back his swear words, he walked up to the prisoner who was tied up with flowers, and said coldly: "Kronikov, as a soldier, what is your duty?" ”

"Yes...... It's obedience to orders. ”

"That's right, soldiers make it their duty to obey orders, and anyone who disobeys orders, even the top of the front, will be executed. What, then, is the order I give you? Stay put, and if you are allowed to charge, I will give the order directly. You, why didn't you listen to the orders of your battalion commander? Now including your battalion commander will also be punished. But what's the point? Not to mention the impact of the outcome of the battle, you killed fifteen of your comrades. ”

Kronnikov was at a loss for words.

Yang Mingzhi continued: "Listen, there is no need for soldiers in the ranks of the Red Army who do not obey orders. You're not a hero at all, you're a Inglourious bastard. Even if you are a child, since you have joined the army, you have to abide by the regulations, and your death penalty is very fair. ”

Yang Mingzhi knew very well that he didn't want this child to be shot in time. There is a large number of militia in the troops, and these people must know the importance of discipline. And what about a large number of veterans? They withdrew from the battlefield in Minsk to the swamps, and they have been able to hold on to the present because of faith and discipline, and it is of great significance to cut off the black sheep in the ranks.

And just like that, the court convicted Kronikov. He was blindfolded, his hands tied, and he stood in front of the pit. Ten people from the firing squad raised their guns and fired, and Kronnikov lay in a large pit.

Yang Mingzhi felt a little depressed, and the onlookers did not feel sad or applauded. He noticed that the wife of the onlookers was a little sad, yes, no matter what, it was her comrade-in-arms who was shot.

Yang Mingzhi stroked his wife's shoulder, she was still carrying a sniper rifle at the moment. "Let's go, little peach, there's a new battle soon. You and Natasha did a great job in today's fight. Seeing that she was still hesitating, Yang Mingzhi pulled her away.

"Husband, I'...... I'm fine, but I'm sorry for that person. ”

"Well, remember that man. We still have to rush to a new battlefield, you need to take care of the seriously wounded, and I will leave a few people to accompany them back to the swamp. Or you might as well retreat. ”

Hearing this, star fruit immediately stopped. "Husband! No, I can't leave you. There is a new action, how can I leave you? ”

The girl's resolute and determined appearance is very beautiful, and Yang Mingzhi didn't care about his sloppy image of gunsmoke, he subconsciously kissed the girl's forehead. "Well, we are husband and wife, even if we die, we have to be together."

"You are not allowed to say death, as you said, we will take our troops with us. We are going to kill back home and drive the Japanese devils away! Until then, neither you nor I can die! ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly, who knows in the future? World War II was inevitably won by the Soviet army, but it is unknown whether they will survive to capture the Reichstag.

"Alright, we're going to continue on our way, the new target is the town of Luvanka, and we must find a way to destroy all the enemy's warehouses. With you and Natasha, the odds are better. ”
