Chapter 387: Balzen Comes to Command

The deputy division commander personally went to the front again, and Yevlov and Yerentina immediately objected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "Comrades, I know that you are worried about my life. I'm sure I'm lucky enough and I'm a good commander. This operation, as the deputy division commander, personally met with Lyudbalev in Gomel, who was an officer. As a colonel, personally receiving them from the downcast shows our sincerity! Comrades, you don't want to continue to be promoted?! Now is the opportunity to perform. ”

Yerentina instantly understood, and she laughed: "I can't see that our chief of staff is still a bit politically manipulative." ”

"I'd better continue to be a soldier." Yang Mingzhi said: "We will discuss the specific action plan after dinner. Follow me. With that, he snapped his fingers.

"With you? How? What did Chef Besica cook again? Yerentina said expectantly.

"A whole fish feast, of course! These days, we mobilize the masses to catch fish, and the consumption of potatoes and flour has been greatly reduced! This whole fish feast is the way to eat in our hometown, and we eat fish tonight, and the catch is caught by me and Besika, so you are welcome. ”

The two of them followed. Compared to eating, Yang Mingzhi was still thinking about taking over the friendly army. Maybe it's a different feeling to talk about these things at the dinner table.

On the other hand, Balzen, who was in the forest, successfully completed the correspondence with the division headquarters, and he tried his best to report his series of encounters, and Lyudbalev also reported his own situation.

They received an accurate reply from the 284th Division, that is, the information was received in full, and preparations began to be made.

At this point, the people of the Gomel underground city committee, as well as the Tchaikov partisan brigade, finally did not have to make a difficult way through the forest. There is no need to take any more crooked paths, and now it is said that the most elite small unit of the 284th Division - the reconnaissance company. Everything is no longer difficult!

Lyudbalev simply said to Balzen very sincerely: "The terrain in this area is only the most familiar to you, and your combat effectiveness is also the strongest. For, this march towards the swamp, I want you and your people to think that you yourself will be our commander-in-chief. ”

This is what Balzen could not ask for, and he was not modest. The middle-aged man in front of him is the highest local governor of a city, he is the mayor of Gomel, and the Pripet marsh is under the jurisdiction of the city of Gomel. Leading the transfer of officials and civil servants who escaped the Nazi massacre, he was very confident that with this successful operation, he would have several more medals on his chest.

Honor is the most important thing for soldiers, and Balzen immediately stood up and saluted: "If you want, I will be everyone's commander." ”

Let the reconnaissance company guide the whole team, and the main personnel of the Tchaikov partisan brigade discussed. The accidental injuries are regrettable and painful, and the problems exposed in the accidental injuries are simply desperate -- the combat effectiveness of their own troops is too poor.

Tchaikov himself simply made the decision and was completely under the command of Balzen.

So, Balzen's first order was to rest.

The reconnaissance company attacked the German airfield in the early hours of the morning, and the smoke from the battle site was still rising, and the soldier who climbed the pine tree could even look into the distance with a little smoke and dust.

It was getting dark, and the Germans could not continue their search at night, no matter what. The German army's ability to fight at night was too poor, and since they would not take the initiative, Balzen also happily ordered everyone to rest immediately, recuperate and continue to hurry the next day.

He didn't want to stay in the land of right and wrong, and look at the people who had been evacuated with the Tchaikov partisans, where there were a large number of women and children.

Young children are dragged by their mothers, and older ones, for example, who are more than 1.4 meters tall, are basically forced to enlist in the army, after all, the guerrillas are very short of people. The presence of child soldiers in the military is a necessity under certain circumstances. Balzen noticed that the teenagers with guns had a good will to fight, probably because the invaders had killed their families.

All this was played out in the 284th Division, and Balzen immediately thought of the child Natasha, who was only sixteen years old!

So how is she doing now?

As night fell, there was no fire in the camp for safety. The reconnaissance company carries a large amount of high-calorie food, which is a blessing to people who have been semi-starved for a long time. Balzen and the others had already studied the route map for the retreat, and after careful consideration, the soldiers did carry too much food.

Precious food was distributed to those who needed it most, including Natasha, and she also distributed a few cans of food to young soldiers of her age.

So, when Balzen went to see how the child was doing, he saw that she was actually mingling with a group of peers.

These kids are in good spirits, and that's the best. Balzen was worried that the fierce battle would bring down the girl's body and spirit, but it seemed that he was overthinking for now, this child had a strong vitality that did not match her immature appearance, she was a sonorous rose that bloomed beautifully.

The night was the most restful the team could have slept on, and Balzen ordered the whole team to defend in a ring shape, with women and children and the wounded in the center, and the last combat-ready on the periphery.

The Tchaikov partisans were also divided into companies and platoons, but Tchaikov was not a guerrilla warmaker.

Lenin summed up the tactics of guerrilla warfare during the civil war in Soviet Russia, and now this man is not as good as the Chinese in guerrilla warfare. Then there was the Great Purge, in which a large number of officers who could fight were purged. Tchaikov was a political commissar, and he also became a "guerrilla specialist" through emergency training, and was sent to the occupied areas to pull troops to fight behind enemy lines. As a result, the so-called tactics were still rigid positional warfare, and Lenin's book was used as the standard for combat.

A large number of guerrilla fighters died in battle, and the results achieved were mediocre. It wasn't until he saw his new comrade-in-arms Balzen that he engaged in all kinds of special behaviors that made people guess that this person was a real guerrilla expert.

Light and dark sentinels were set up, and machine gun forts were also set up. With these defenses, Balzen slept soundly.

It wasn't until the next day, when the night faded and the sentries could see the fingerprints of their fingers in the faint light, that it was time for the team to leave.

It was still very cold outside, and Natasha struggled to get up, rolling up her warm blanket and stuffing it into Igor's hand. "I'm going to trouble you today, you still have to carry this thick and heavy blanket."

Igor shook his head: "That's no problem at all. You must carry your own firearms with you in order to jump into battle in possible future battles. Let's not linger any longer, the company commander is going to order the whole army to set off. (To be continued.) )
