Chapter XXXVII: The Liberation of the City of Moziri

Yang Mingzhi led the third company to quickly pass through the stone bridge, and together with the reconnaissance company, there were more than 200 people.

"Attention everyone, exterminate all Germans and do not give them any chance." Yang Mingzhi's order was like a death sentence for the German troops in the city.

The first and second companies also quickly passed through the stone bridge, and the warriors dispersed and began to attack the city.

The time was ripe to "fire signal flares and demand the rapid advance of Kuznetsov's large forces." Yang Mingzhi looked at the sky, a red signal flare slowly rose into the air, and many German soldiers who woke up saw the strange point of light in the sky.

The Germans had a regiment of troops stationed in Moziri, the commander of the Logistics Infantry Regiment, Hans Frankenstein, who was awakened by the sound of a series of gunfire explosions.

This man has used the former government office building in Mozili as his headquarters, and he is also using it as a bedroom. He didn't even have time to get dressed, and lay on the edge of the bed just in his pants. In the direction of the bridge, there was a large crowd of people shouting, and gunfire was frequent.

Suddenly, the glass next to him was shattered by a stray bullet, and the glass was shattered.

If this bullet had been more accurate, it would have been gone. Frankenstein immediately fell to his stomach, and more bullets came in through the window.

This is not a coincidence, Yang Mingzhi took a little look at the map sketched by the reconnaissance company before the battle. There is a big difference between the official government buildings and the private houses in the Soviet Union, especially the sign that says "Soviet" is very obvious.

Yang Mingzhi estimated that most of the enemy commanders still did not like to huddle with the soldiers, so they must be in the building, in addition to comfort, it is also a symbolic necessity.

He led more than 200 men to storm the five-story building.

Before the war, Moziri was not a big city, but it would become an important oil pipeline node in later life, and then the small city would develop rapidly. As for now, it is just an ordinary small town, because it is strategically important because of its dependence on the river.

Along the way of the attack, many German soldiers who came out of the houses took a look at the situation, and soon encountered a rapid attack by the Soviet army.

Part of the soldiers, separated from the majority, began to inspect houses from house to house.

Usually a soldier is ready, and then another person kicks the door open, throws a grenade directly in, and then rushes in and shoots indiscriminately, whether there is anyone or not. This killed and injured many Germans and caused great damage to the homes of citizens.

As soon as the battle began, the soldiers could no longer take care of it, and some people felt that there might be compatriots still living, and their more flexible attack was not a rough throwing of grenades.

Street fighting broke out, and the Soviets gained an overwhelming advantage, but also paid the price for the death of some fighters.

This onslaught did not meet with serious resistance, and Yang Mingzhi ordered the troops to rush forward, and the submachine guns formed a powerful barrage to completely suppress the enemy. The Germans who reacted were either eliminated at the outset, or were killed indiscriminately after resisting for a while.

A German machine-gun squad scrambled to the door of the building, and Frankenstein knew he was in danger. He had just put on his white shirt, and his clothes were blackened by the smoke.

With a Luger pistol, he ordered the soldiers to open fire quickly. Fortunately, Yang Mingzhi had learned some experience in urban warfare in that plane, and the troops all walked with their guns attached, and when the enemy machine gunners opened fire, only a few people in the vanguard fell, and the rest quickly lay down.

"Damn, why are there machine gunners at this time!" Yang Mingzhi scolded and looked at the MG34 gushing tongue of fire. This thing has a fast rate of fire, and the 500 rounds of ammunition are sufficient, and it can suppress the troops for a long time.

The troops encountered resistance, and there were some troubles elsewhere. The Soviet troops attacking the material dispatch site were also blocked by the sober Germans, and the commander of the first company, Lavlianti, forbade the troops to rush to death without their lives.

Here in Yang Mingzhi, he lay on the ground helplessly. Several soldiers tried to blow up this machine-gun position with grenades, and one of them had just pulled off the fuse and wanted to throw it, but was hit by the enemy and the grenade also fell. The explosion killed and wounded many Soviet soldiers, while the enemy's strafing continued.

"Damn! At this time, you should bring an RPG with you. "Yang Mingzhi hammered to the ground, and it would be good to have a grenade at this time.

But good luck ended up on the side of the Soviets, and the machine gunner got carried away with adrenaline and fired wildly for a while, and the barrel of the machine gun turned red! Eventually, because of the deformation of the barrel, the bullets could no longer be fired.

"Barrel! I want a new barrel! The soldier shouted, Frankenstein didn't know much about this, and he didn't know how to change the barrel of his gun in a hurry.

Some of the soldiers and officers in the command came to the gate to stop the Soviet troops, and their firepower had been greatly reduced.

"There must be no bullets." Yang Mingzhi was so excited that he stood up all of a sudden, "Comrades, attack!" ”

The soldiers immediately got up, Yang Mingzhi charged with everyone, and he also saw that Yelenkina, whose courage was not inferior to that of the male soldiers.

Frankenstein was lucky enough to duck behind the door to avoid being shot to death. Soviet fighters shot all the Germans at the gate, and Frankenstein, naturally, did not flee, he was knocked unconscious with the butt of a rifle. When the soldier was about to replenish the gun, Yang Mingzhi arrived in time and held down the muzzle of the soldier's gun. "Calm down, this guy is likely to be an officer, leaving his little life."

The soldier nodded, and immediately unarmed the man, tying his hands and feet with the hemp rope he had with him. The rest of the soldiers began to go upstairs and clear all the German troops.

Yang Mingzhi estimated that this captured German was wearing a white shirt and shoulder straps, which was too different from ordinary soldiers.

Frankenstein gradually woke up, only to see a bunch of guns pointed at him, led by a guy with an oriental appearance.

“DichDeurschen?” Yang Mingzhi asked.

“Ja?”

Yang Mingzhi will have very few German words, and then this guy will say a bunch of words that he can't understand at all. There was no one in the team who knew German, and anyway, this guy had already raised his hands, so he would accept his surrender for the time being.

Yang Mingzhi looked around, this should be a command center, and soon the soldiers who came downstairs sent down a flag.

"This is the Nazi flag." Yerentina said, who walked in.

Yang Mingzhi turned his head to look at this girl, her originally beautiful face was already full of black charcoal. She saw the captured guy and asked Yang Mingzhi, "You caught the commander?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know German, I don't know what this man is talking about."

Yerentina squatted down and looked at the captured fellow, and then asked in German.

Yang Mingzhi was taken aback, this girl was deeply hidden. Yerenkina also boasted a little conceited that the people of the so-called NKVD also had to learn some foreign languages in case of emergency.

She came to a conclusion and said excitedly: "Comrades, we have captured Hans Frankenstein, the commander of the 404th Regiment of the enemy's Germans. ”

The joy was on the faces of the soldiers, and the joy did not last long, and several soldiers staggered over.

"Battalion commander, the first company commander is under fierce resistance, and we need support!"

When Yang Mingzhi heard this, the first company was attacking the dispatch field, and there were a lot of supplies there! He looked around and ordered: "Yerentina, you take the reconnaissance company to hold here, look at the enemy's regimental commander, and I will take the third company to support my men." ”

With that, the troops turned the offensive and took the MG34, which had cooled down, away.

The first company encountered stubborn resistance, and the troops lost more than 30 men before being pressed to the ground by the enemy's machine guns. The Germans' cross-fire was very terrifying, and compared to the brilliant results achieved by the second company that broke into the German barracks and recklessly strafed the sleeping Germans, the first company was simply humiliating here.

Fortunately, when Yang Mingzhi arrived, he ordered the fighters to lie down en masse, and then try to take out grenades.

When the commander of the first company saw that the battalion commander was going to play the old trick again, he immediately crawled over and forbade it.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"No! There are weapons and ammunition in the dispatch field, and we can easily cause mass explosions! You don't want ammunition anymore?! ”

Yang Mingzhi immediately came to his senses, and in the midst of hesitation, Kuznetsov's large army came over in a volley. Thousands of people quickly broke through the bridge, and hundreds advanced to the side of the dispatch field.

These old hairy people are so crazy that they don't care about the enemy's firepower at all. Yang Mingzhi is very sad, these guys have finally come to this point, and they are still so fearless to go forward and charge one after another?

However, the Germans were indeed intimidated by the momentum, and after paying a lot of price, the Germans who sent the field were surrounded, and the siege and annihilation battle ended quickly.

After the large force entered Moziri, all the houses were searched, and some German soldiers surrendered and were escorted out to await processing.

In this battle, the death squads took the Germans by surprise with lightning speed, and won a huge opportunity for the large army to cross the river at the cost of losing more than 90 people.

The battle damage ratio is also very staggering, such as the massacre of the second company in the German barracks, and hundreds of German drama people were wiped out by submachine guns and grenades before they could even pick up arms.

There were even mass prisoners during the battle, but some Belarusians in the ranks, who saw the Nazi massacre, did not hesitate to retaliate, and many of the prisoners fell to their knees and were still shot.

The battle was almost over in just two hours, the sun had risen, the dawn was shining on Moziri, and the city was liberated.

It became the second city liberated by the Soviet army after Velikiye Luki.
