Chapter 435: Annihilate Them
In order to survive, the captives believed the promises of the Soviets, and they told them everything about their troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when it loses its usefulness, the Soviets will not carry these five burdens. Yang Mingzhi was ruthless and ordered the captives to be disposed of.
The enemy was stabbed to death with a dagger, and many of the enemy's wounded soldiers were also mended when cleaning the battlefield. The dirty work will be done by Balzen's people, and after solving this matter, Yang Mingzhi must think about countermeasures again.
He ordered the soldiers to pull away the corpses of the enemy, and called the main officers to his side.
The various camps knew that Balzen had caught his tongue, and even if they didn't know what the captives had said, they could have inferred that a battle was about to break out.
Yang Mingzhi saw the eagerness of the crowd, it was easy to guess what they were thinking, and immediately asked, "Do you want to fight and go crazy?" ”
"Of course! I think we're going to create a major military miracle! How can I not be excited? Evgeny said excitedly.
Ravlendi immediately chimed in: "I guess the captives have already confessed that the enemy is nearby, and we may really wipe out the enemy's two infantry regiments this time!" For this kind of merit, the deputy division commander has to have another gold star medal on his chest. ”
"Hahaha, you two are too optimistic!" Yang Mingzhi paused, adjusted his mentality and continued: "The captive did confess the enemy's location. They are only about seven kilometers away from us! The enemy is very tired, even if we give them enough time to escape, it is still not as fast as our elite troops, and if we continue to advance, the war of annihilation will start today! ”
As soon as they heard the word "war of annihilation", all the officers were full of adrenaline, and their physical exhaustion was simply swept away!
Evgeny immediately raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist and hammered it into his chest, and swore: "I am willing to follow the deputy division commander!" Life is only a few decades, follow you with a small broad, if we, the remnants of various units and even the militia, annihilate the enemy's division and two regiments, even if the sacrifice is worth it! ”
Someone took the lead, and everyone took a stand.
They all want to keep fighting, even if they are tired. Yang Mingzhi was very worried about this fatigue, but now that the troops have simply won the jackpot, the more tired enemy is resting in front, if this opportunity is lost, the opportunity for annihilation will not be known.
Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and immediately stood up: "I'm still very worried about everyone's physical condition, and I'm tired to the point of unbearable fighting for so many days. It seems that I underestimated everyone's physical strength and will to fight! Well, we are ready to fight and not give the enemy a chance to breathe. ”
The situation of the battle was developing so fast that the vast number of soldiers were immediately told to stop resting immediately, finish their meals as quickly as possible, and then reorganize their equipment and prepare for battle.
There are still more than 2,000 troops in the five battalions, and these soldiers are all in very good physical condition. The sound of metal clashing was heard everywhere in the woods, and soldiers were checking the chambers of their guns, checking their magazines, and others were sharpening their daggers.
Since the enemy is not far away, the coordinates are determined. Yang Mingzhi decided that no one would wait, so he led 2,000 people to give the tired enemy another "massacre".
He immediately made a plan for the campaign, and the two battalions of Lavrenti and Evgeny, the two most combat-ready battalions, were deployed on both flanks.
Vasilyev and Tchaikov's men were weak and stayed in the middle. In order to compensate for this lack of combat effectiveness, Doronin's artillery battalion was also left in the middle.
The whole formation is like a fishing net, when the head-on fire, the troops on both flanks can quickly detour back to the enemy's rear, and the two lines of flanking to complete the annihilation. This is the most popular roundabout tactic used by the Chinese army in later generations, but it is always a bit of a sense of disobedience to tell his subordinates.
So Yang Mingzhi changed his rhetoric and said concisely: "This is Hannibal's formation at the Battle of Cannae, they can win, and we can too." Don't think that the enemy is strong because they have more troops, now they are just a herd of sheep, and we are all brown bears in the forest! ”
These words resonated with the fighters, the enemy was indeed very tired, and such a battle was easier for everyone. For the enemy is as weak as a sheep!
Under Yang Mingzhi's order, the radioman first communicated with Roshakov, who was pursuing the 1st Division of the 722nd Division, and in addition to ordering them to continue the pursuit, he also announced to him the annihilation plan on this side.
Roshakov and Kravsky were taken aback!
"In the end, the deputy division commander is bold! He ordered the annihilation operation to be completely planned, and our side cannot slow down the pace and disgrace the troops! Roshakov immediately informed the various battalion commanders of the information, and the news was transmitted to the ordinary soldiers one after another. The soldiers were very envious of those who wanted to perform military miracles, and this time they simply obeyed the orders of the regimental commander, and the whole army accelerated the pace of pursuit.
This is a blow to the Ludwig regiment of the 722nd Division! Instead of slowing down, the enemy is speeding up! This made the majority of soldiers even more tired, and many complained of leg pain but did not dare to slow down. One could only throw away some of the weight to speed forward, and this act of throwing away the armor actually created a route of escape along which Roshakov could keep chasing.
Moreover, the actions of the enemy also prove that their fighting consciousness is rapidly declining, and the morale of the Soviet soldiers is constantly rising!
Just ahead of Yang's route, Hoffman and Floyd were forced to stop and recuperate. Each company counted its own numbers, and the results were reported to their respective regimental headquarters.
These two and the vast number of soldiers were both physically and mentally exhausted, and they were very relieved to learn that there were only 3,000 soldiers who were not left behind.
Hoffman comforted Freud, who had recovered a little: "I thought our army was about to collapse, it seems that the situation is not at worst. The fighters are in good health, and if we continue walking, we will definitely find Wolf's regiment of the 722nd Division. ”
Freud, who was lying on a stretcher, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The enemy is still chasing us!" Instead of thinking that we can join forces with friendly forces, we don't think about whether we can evade the enemy's pursuit! Do you think that just with us, the soldiers who are almost overworked to death, we can withstand the enemy's offensive? ”
"Absolutely!" Hoffman said immediately, but he was a little hesitant as soon as he finished speaking.
Look at the fighters, the machine gunners organized at least some machine-gun positions, and the others, one by one, were not physically and mentally exhausted? In order to evacuate quickly, many soldiers were forced to abandon their equipment, and many of them had only cotton clothes at night, and many began to cough after the night. Even worse than the disease, many people's rations were lost along with other equipment, and some soldiers were hungry! They are currently receiving relief from their comrades-in-arms, but there is only a small amount of combat rations left, and once they finish eating, everyone will starve together!
Hoffman looked at Freud again and laughed at himself: "Friend, we are really brothers in trouble!" Why are we always losing, I'm afraid this is the last time we lose. ”
Freud could hear the words, the last defeat, that is to say, the last battle! He really wanted to cheer up, and in the final battle, it was most glorious to take up arms and die. It's just that as soon as I exert myself, this rib cage and this rib cage are very painful.
The two of them rested for a long time, and suddenly, the alert machine guns on the periphery opened fire! (To be continued.) )
