Chapter 201: The Journey of a Youth

The battle plan has been decided, and as the war approaches, Yang Mingzhi will not think too much. Since the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info war came, he calmly dealt with it, and he still personally participated in this war. Unlike Yerentina and Yevlov, they had to guard the base camp.

However, there are variables in all wars, and Yang Mingzhi thought that the victory rate in this battle was eighty percent, and as for the remaining two percent, the Germans admitted that they did not reinforce Homnitsch. Troops ambushed on the road in this way are likely to be attacked by heavy enemy troops, which will turn into a vicious battle.

In order for the worst-case scenario to occur, the troops must have a set of B plans. That is, as soon as the ambush force was stormed, the Soviet troops who had conquered Homnich immediately abandoned the town and sent reinforcements.

In this case, the two men who are the division commander and the political commissar are better off staying in the base camp, monitoring the progress of the troops from the radio, and updating the positions of each unit in real time on the map.

In this battle, the actions of the 284th Division were not notified to the underground city committee of Gomel, but they still received electrical signals from that side, and the information replied was irrelevant.

The day after the meeting, a group of scouts set off early with the radio on their backs. They are the eyes and ears of the attacking troops, and they must first infiltrate the front line of the road to lay an ambush, and in addition to monitoring the transportation of the road, they must also monitor whether there is an enemy.

Yang Mingzhi was very relieved of their work, because it was Balzen who led the team. His people are more like special forces, doing scout work and making many achievements, and the outcome of the battle depends largely on their surveillance.

On this day, Yang Mingzhi stayed in Catfish Village, which was the last bit of leisure time before the battle began.

The two girls, star fruit and Natasha, were by their side. At noon, everyone gets together to eat another meal of noodles with meat dishes, which is considered a practice feast before the expedition.

Natasha and her younger brother and sister are going to war, and the younger brother has to take care of the village aunt.

Yang Mingzhi paid attention to the girl's eyes, she was watching her brother eat, and there was even a hint of maternal love in her eyes.

Yang Mingzhi coughed and said, "Natasha! ”

"Alas!" The girl came to her senses.

"In this battle, you have to fight alongside Besika. You're the shooter, she's the observer. You will also be under my direct command, and when an ambush takes place, I will command you to fight wherever you want. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Natasha resolutely promised. And the star fruit just snorted.

"Very good, you are comrades and sisters, I hope you will perform well in the battle."

While a few people were eating, a young man came running in the dust. It was cold, and he was still out of breath. The cotton hat was clutched in his hand, and the boy's brown hair fluttered in the wind.

"Huh? Kharkiv, you don't eat in the cafeteria, how did you come to me? ”

Yang Mingzhi looked at this young man in surprise, Kharkiv, he came to find him in person, needless to say, it must have something to do with sending troops to fight. Yang Mingzhi gave the star fruit a look, and the star fruit quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.

Kharkov slowly raised his body and asked bluntly: "Deputy division commander, why can't our junior battalion carry out this mission?" We are neither front-line troops nor reserves. You say this battle is the largest the troops will fight since entering the swamp. Why exclude me and my people? Could it be that the deputy division commander is still afraid that we will not listen to the command? ”

Yang Mingzhi patted his head, "Oops! I've forgotten about you! ”

"We're training hard every day. We are trained in exactly the same way as adults, including dangerous live-fire off-roading. Everyone learned that this operation was gearing up. Why didn't we make arrangements, is it really just as the deputy division commander said, just forgot? ”

Yang Mingzhi even looked at this young man, his anxious state of mind was written on his face, his brows were furrowed very much, and the whole person spoke very quickly.

"Commander of the junior battalion, Kharkov. Attention! Yang Mingzhi suddenly ordered, and the young man also stood like a pine tree.

"Kharkiv, this is the case. The battle plan was made by me, and it really forgot about your troops. In fact, in my heart, I see your daily training, and theoretically you can fight with the adults, but ......"

"Just what?" Kharkiv asked urgently.

"Some of you are too young, a mere fourteen, or even thirteen, don't think I don't know. Such an age cannot withstand the examination of the harsh war environment, because war is not a daily training. ”

"But Natasha, she's only fifteen years old, and she's already a hero of the army."

Kharkiv doesn't want Yang Mingzhi to talk about age, since Natasha can be a combat hero, other peers can too.

At this moment, Natasha was a little confused, and she had to be a little conceited and look like she had experienced a hundred battles. "Kharkiv, I think I'm a special case myself, not all sisters can be like me. I was very ruthless when I killed people, and I was no longer afraid to see bloody corpses. No matter how fierce the artillery is, the bullets are flying, I don't even worry. So on this issue, I support the meaning of the deputy division commander. ”

"If you don't complain, I'm not a coward. Speaking of the battle of Kuta Town, I also crossed the line of fire, and I personally participated in the attack on the German headquarters. ”

"You're a man!" Natasha raised her voice, "You don't understand us women at all. Even if they are female soldiers, many girls see corpses and blood, and their fear comes from instinct, and some people can't adapt to it for the rest of their lives. And the younger the child, the stronger the reaction. ”

"But ......"

"Enough!" Yang Mingzhi slapped the table. "You two don't quarrel over this. Kharkov, I thought about it, your troops can participate in this operation! ”

"Yes! It's just wonderful. Kharkov's face suddenly improved, and he was so happy that he almost sang and danced.

This person's instantaneous mood change directly amused Yang Mingzhi. "Kharkiv, stand upright!" Yang Mingzhi ordered: "The total strength of the juvenile battalion is only more than 100 people, and it is said that a battalion is actually only the strength of a company, and some of the soldiers are too young. I now agree that the juvenile battalion should go to war, but a line must be drawn, and no one under the age of fifteen will be allowed to participate. ”

"Is it really good to arrange it like this?" Kharkov's face was a little unsightly. "All of us want to go to war."

"What an order! Younger children may wish to wait another year. Now don't have any more doubts, go back and get ready. I'll check it out in the afternoon, when you and your people will be under my direct command. ”

Kharkov was quite satisfied with this result, and the permission to go to war was obtained, and he immediately saluted, turned around and went back to report the good news to his comrades.

Looking at his steady back, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but be happy.

"Brother, what are you happy about?" Star fruit asked.

"Am I happy? I'm having fun with you young people. You children are at an age of burning passion, this is a war to defend your country and defend justice, and you want to be a witness to history, and preferably to make a contribution. Therefore, leaving all the dangers behind, the enthusiasm for fighting is actually stronger than that of veterans, but it lacks a lot in physical fitness and skills and tactics. Speaking of this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think of a lot of things.

In this war, the Soviet Union suffered so much population loss that the four-year war inflicted brutal demographic damage on the Soviet Union, which would take at least 100 years to repair.

Of the 190 million men in the Soviet Union, 20 million of whom died from youth to infancy, was probably the most brutal Soviet soldier in this era, because basically not many people lived from the beginning of the war to the end of the war. In this regard, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly at his current identity.

In the afternoon, Yang Mingzhi went to the camp of the youth camp. Those children are really eager to fight, they are in adolescence, and they are eager to prove themselves. Even if the times are different, adolescent children are all the same, eager to be heroes, eager to defend the justice they believe in their hearts, and the fear of death can only be hooked up when their comrades are blown into a mess of minced meat.

"Yes, you all have some grown-up temperament, so I believe you can withstand extreme conditions."

Yang Mingzhi inspected these people, who were at least fifteen years old, and could participate in this battle. Immediately, he gave a direct order: "All of you immediately start to put your internal affairs in order, remember to prepare your warm clothes and food, and we will leave tomorrow!"
