Chapter 171: The Swamp That Was Targeted

After Yang Mingzhi woke up, he received a surprising reply from Yelenkina. "I thought you would simply get the information out, even at the cost www.biquge.info of torture. This time the information was successfully obtained, and you spared the lives of those people. “

"Of course. Their commander is very cooperative, and this kind of person is forced by his superiors to choose to cooperate with us in order to survive. So why should we bear the notoriety of executioners anymore? “

These words came from the mouth of this woman, who was a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was supposed to be more resolute than the average soldier.

Killing prisoners, Lao Maozi has almost no guilt. It was still in the Far East, and if it weren't for the blessing of Pugachev, who had already died, he would have been sent to mineral mining, and the situation of star fruit might have been even worse.

Lao Maozi's brutal style is also considered their national character, you can meet, several captured German soldiers, Yelentina promised not to execute them, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not escape. There is a high probability that they will be sentenced to re-education through labor.

So Yang Mingzhi quickly put away all the covers, and first asked her what information she had obtained, and first asked curiously about the final fate of Henschel and his men.

Yerentina shrugged: "Berekov, you know. The enemy has killed many of us, they are aggressors, so they cannot be under the illusion that they can get good food and lodging, they must atone for their sins. “

"So you ordered them to clear the snow, or cut the trees?"

"Nope! Actually, it's digging potatoes. “

Speaking of potatoes, Yang Mingzhi immediately remembered that in early September, the army mobilized the masses to try to plant another season of potatoes. It's just that when the weather is cold, its growth rate will inevitably decrease, and the yield will be pitiful.

In addition, it is now a cold snap raging, and this winter is exceptionally cold. "The land is frozen, how can they dig it well?" Yang Mingzhi asked a little worriedly. If we talk about persecution, isn't this the persecution of German prisoners of war by the Soviet army? “

"Berekov, you don't have to worry about that. Rest assured, those guys are going to work very hard. Because if they are lazy, they will not get food, and what they dig is actually their rations. “

Listening to Yelenkina say this, Yang Mingzhi really admired her approach. It was really a bit of the most poisonous woman's heart, and that Henschel could only endure and continue to work and reform.

"Alright, that's the end of your discussion about the fate of the captives." Yevlov patted the table, "You guys drink some tea first, or bite into some jerky." When Fuming returns, we'll have a meeting. “

With the arrival of Fuming, the summary meeting on this military operation began.

Fuming was in charge of the aftermath of the soldiers who returned from the war this time, and his first-hand statistical materials were placed on the table.

"Circulate it and take a look. All I can say is that our operation was a great success, and it seems that the enemy has come to send them to their death! “

This document is a comprehensive count of seizures and casualties. Yang Mingzhi saw the result, no one sacrificed, only the wounded. The only seriously wounded were those who had been shot through the stomach. "Thankfully, this bullet is clearly not the 5.58mm kind of crazy spinning cavity maker. The 7.9 mm one is easy to penetrate people, there is no crazy rolling, and this one saves lives. Yang Mingzhi continued to look down with relief, these are the seizures this time.

He knew that the warriors would not turn in all the loot. In principle, all the booty was confiscated first, and then distributed according to need, which was very Bolshevik, but somewhat unfair to the fighters who were born to die.

Therefore, the loot collected is still quite considerable.

"209 rifles, including 155 Mosin Nagant and 54 Mauser rifles. There are 10 MP38 and 34 MG34. In terms of ammunition, there were 1,009 rounds of 7.62mm bullets and 3,300 rounds of 7.9mm bullets. Fifty grenades. This is the core part, Yang Mingzhi thought for a moment.

"Yes, that's what I counted, and there's some food in addition to that." Apparently Fomin was not very satisfied with the seizure other than ammunition: "Those traitors could only nibble on bread, and the Germans still had quite a few cans, and even strawberry jam. “

"And jam! This spreadable bread is very delicious. Yerentina was very excited.

Seeing that this girl was excited, Yang Mingzhi smiled and said nothing. She is still another girl's heart, the instinctive pursuit of sweets.

"Okay, let's not talk about jam." Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands: "Now we can see that the enemy has a double standard for renegades and their own people. Defecting to the enemy and stealing his life, he is not being used as cannon fodder by the enemy to die. “

Yang Mingzhi's words are contemplative, because the captured Henschel also chose to cooperate with the Soviet army in order to survive. Whether this person can be trusted or not is doubtful.

Everyone's questioning eyes were focused on Yerenkina.

"Don't doubt it, that Henschel is very smart. And what he said, I'm afraid it's all true. “

"Are you sure? He is the enemy. Yevlov said.

"I'm sure, because there is no need for this person to deceive us. Their purpose is to find us and determine our location. We've done so many operations, and thousands of Nazis have died at our hands. Will the enemy sit idly by? “

Yevlov understood these questions perfectly, and he no longer asked them knowingly.

So Yerenkina removed all the teapots from the table and spread out a large map.

"According to the confessions of the prisoners, the German 707th Division suffered too much damage and was forced to withdraw and was replaced by the German 715th Division. The Germans are not stupid, and we also exposed ourselves. Yerentina immediately drew out the locations of several military operations.

The towns of Luvanka and Kuta, both located on the Moziri-Lechcha road, were also attacked, while Cherobi was north of Kyiv. "Three areas of our military operations have already realized our position, which is this moat swamp. Henschel's tentative march was the reason for this, so that after their total annihilation, the Germans would immediately understand that there was indeed a strong force in the swamps. Yerentina said, looking at a few. Comrades, this is the most important piece of information I have received from my captives. We've been targeted. “

Yang Mingzhi fantasized that the Germans were a bunch of fools, and that they would only be on the defensive in the rear, and the guerrilla movement was surging. Although they would sooner or later find out that the Plipett Marshes were a paradise for the guerrillas, and there would definitely be encirclement and suppression, they did not expect them to take the initiative so early.

Yevlov was full of confidence: "Our Red Army is not a bad seed, we have won all the battles in several operations, even if the enemy attacks on a large scale in the future, we are not afraid." “

"Yes, as far as I know, the morale of the fighters has always been high. Sacrifice is acceptable, but failure is hard to accept. We have never lost for months, and the fighters' desire to fight is very strong. Fuming said.

Several people expressed their opinions, and Yang Mingzhi has always had confidence in the troops. The time and place were favorable, and the troops of the swamp were all occupied.

"Hey! There's no way to be targeted. We're deep in enemy-occupied territory, and it's never safe here. Actually, it's good to be targeted, but I'm actually worried that the stability of our situation here will paralyze everyone's nerves, and that the successive victories will lead to the pride and complacency of the soldiers. We must now inform everyone of this information and make it clear to everyone that the enemy has determined our position and that everyone must be ready at all times. “

Yerentina nodded with satisfaction: "Berekov, your words are very right. Our propaganda department will take action immediately. “

Yang Mingzhi still doesn't know that the army still has a propaganda department? After some inquiry, it turned out that the two Komsomol members did it.

Yerentina mysteriously took out a piece of paper from her leather satchel, which was actually a printed newspaper.

Yang Mingzhi took it and was immediately happy. "It's funny, you're promoting Natasha, she's only fifteen years old, and you actually call her a sniper hero!"

"Isn't it?" Yerentina tilted her head, "The war orphans of yesteryear take up arms and become the battle heroes of today!" What good publicity! Warriors need heroes, even if the hero is a child. “

She was born farsighted, and she loves to use her brain, and becoming a hero to the soldiers is her own achievement. Yang Mingzhi is very pleased, but how did this printed newspaper work?

It turns out that both the blacksmith village and the black soil village have some old machines, which were originally juicers for dehydrating sour cabbage or pressing grapes, but they have been transformed into printing presses.

This is not surprising, since the printing of the Bible began in Europe, and the printing press was a modified version of a grape press.

Yang Mingzhi held the war newspaper praising the "sniper hero" in his hand, and he was still secretly happy in his heart.

At this meeting, the four of them discussed how to deal with the new situation in the future. After all, it is still the same to respond to all changes. Sentinels are still patrolling the perimeter, and the three collective farms and barracks in the core are under better management, so that as long as everyone does not let up, they can survive in this chaos.

Of course, self-reliance is already mandatory. Yang Mingzhi finally asked: "Have we completely lost contact with the Front Army Command?" “

Yevlov gave an affirmative answer, even guessing that the command was forced to retreat, and the distance was too far so that the signal was completely lost.

Here, Yevlov could not hold back and voiced his fears: although we held the swamp, it was still the Soviet Union. But the Germans are storming Moscow, and although they lack winter clothing, we are optimistic that they will freeze to death. But they're still attacking, they're not slow yet, and we have to prepare for the worst. “

"Worst-case scenario? It is nothing more than the occupation of the capital, and Napoleon also occupied Moscow in such a winter, and the result? Yerentina said solemnly.

"But if the capital falls, it will be a disaster for everyone. Leaders and various institutions and units evacuated to Kuibyshev? Leningrad is surrounded, and where are the people there to retreat? “

"Nope! Yevlov you think too outrageous! “

Apparently Yerenkina was a little angry. Yang Mingzhi immediately stood up and became a persuader.

Deep in the swamp, it is difficult to understand the overall situation of the war, and everyone only knows that the German army stormed Moscow in a vain attempt to destroy the Soviet Union. The Germans seemed to be capable of completing the capture of the capital, while the campaign was underway. "The two of you are still dissipated, and the teacher's guess is not unreasonable, this is the worst possibility after all, we are still optimistic."

"Well, I'm sure the capital won't fall." Yerentina said.

"I'm just as convinced." Yang Mingzhi looked at everyone again, "I am more convinced that the leader will not evacuate Moscow." I also believe that the new forces are advancing into Europe, that great wars will break out outside the city, that the citizens of Moscow will build fortresses of unprecedented proportions, and that the defeat of the enemy will be inevitable and undoubted, whether or not these madmen will freeze to death in the cold winter.

So we can't control the outcome until the end of the campaign. In any case, we have our own war. Now that the victory is over, we should celebrate. “

Everyone nodded, and when they returned in triumph, Yerenkina's eyes immediately lit up. "Celebrate, then eat a big meal. Berekov, I'd love to eat the meal you and Beshka cooked. “

"Okay! Then tomorrow. You, and Berekov, and Fumin, I'll call a few more battalion commanders as well. Tomorrow you will come to the Humble House, and I will entertain you with a family feast. It's also a treat for myself. (To be continued.) )
