Chapter 231: Victorious Retreat
Yang Mingzhi's troops completed the sneak attack on Lechicha, and as if it were a surgical operation, the troops cleanly beheaded the enemy's garrison headquarters, and even worse, because the representative of the Nazi Party was killed, which was of extremely high political and military significance.

In addition to this, a warehouse full of flour was burned, and a fire burned a large amount of food in stock. These were military rations, so they became a pair of black charcoal, which directly weakened the logistics of the German army, and it was really worse for them.
Yang Mingzhi led the troops all the way into the forest, since the Germans created a no-man's land of white terror, then the forest is undoubtedly the best hideout.
The fighters endured a thrilling battle and were given a chance to rest.
After the battle, many people's faces were blackened by the gunsmoke, and many more were covered with dust. The Russians, who have always regarded a sloppy appearance as a shame, have made an effort to clean themselves up and wash off the dust directly with their faces with snow.
After that, many people directly spread out the blankets they carried with them, ate some dry food, and then lay down on the ground to rest.
Yang Mingzhi was not so relaxed, he called Lavrenti and Evgeny and Balzen: "Now everyone is resting in place, take this opportunity to check the losses of your respective troops!" ”
The three of them immediately went into action, and in addition to them, Kabisky of Lechtsa also set out to investigate his battle damage.
As far as he is concerned, his own combat effectiveness is bound to be low, because half of the soldiers have a strong sense of patriotism, but lack systematic military training.
No, the results after the statistics are sad: half of the people involved in the operation have been killed, and only forty have survived, and ten of them have suffered gunshot wounds.
The statistics ended one after another, and the three gathered in front of Yang Mingzhi again.
"My battalion suffered heavy losses, and a total of seventy-four men did not return. Alas, they're all veterans. Everyone struggled to break through the enemy's machine-gun fire network before destroying the enemy's warehouse. Evgeny said regretfully.
Ravliandi patted his old comrades-in-arms on the shoulder: "Don't be sorry, the sacrifice of your comrades-in-arms is worth it." We burned down one of their warehouses, which meant one more point for the logistical supply difficulties of the enemy at the front. What's more, the significance of our victory is not measured by how many enemies we destroy. ”
"That's right, he has a point." Yang Mingzhi said, "There will always be sacrifices in battle, they are martyrs, sacrificed in their own land, fighting for the country and their relatives." Their sacrifice was great. ”
These words also aroused a strong resonance of Kabisky, who looked at these Soviet officers sharply and said: "My people are not as good as you, and many of my people have died in this attack on the enemy's warehouse." Now, in Lechicha, the strength of our underground organization has been helplessly severely damaged. But! Kabiski, of course, was not complaining, he cheered up and said, "But we finally fought." This time we did not flinch and are armed to fight with you. My warriors have been working hard to fight the enemy with real guns, and even if they die, they will not complain! ”
This is the backbone of a nation, both Mao Zi and Chinese, in the face of invaders. Sacrifice in the struggle is worthwhile, and it is even more noble.
It's just that Yang Mingzhi knows Lao Maozi too well. The Slavic peoples have a very straightforward character, and when faced with problems, they always want to solve them simply and rudely. In the face of the Nazi iron hoof, it is basically a head-on confrontation with national strength, which has been such a mode of war since ancient times, causing their soldiers to never hesitate to die.
And their all-soldier mode of warfare even has to chase down to the Napoleonic Wars. In the Battle of Borodino, which defended Moscow, 7,000 ordinary people, armed with spears of father and son, joined the battle with the French army until they were all killed.
The Kabisky in front of him, he belongs to a small rebel army, and the number of troops is too small, so the focus of his work is to transmit intelligence, and they are part of the intelligence transmission of underground organizations in various cities.
Thinking of this, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help asking: "Comrade Kabisky, your people's battles are worthy of our admiration. But then you have other plans, and I see that your people have been poorly equipped, and in terms of life, it seems that you have not been eating very well. Perhaps you can retreat with us, and when we reach the swamp, we can replenish you. ”
At this point, Kabisky's eyes lit up. But when I think about it, underground intelligence work is also very important. What's more, there are quite a few people who did not participate in this operation at all. But the deputy division commander of Berekov pointed out its shortcomings, and Kabisky weighed the pros and cons and politely declined the simplicity.
"I think it's more important to stay in Lechicha, as you said, we lack guns and ammunition, we don't have food. Especially food, if I can, I really hope to be able to get your help. ”
"There's no problem with that." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand. "We already carried a large amount of dry rations for the long fight, and now it seems that we no longer need it. Ravliandi! Evgeny! After a while, when the soldiers wake up, give some food to our comrades! ”
But these rations alone will solve the problem for a short time, and the most important thing is to establish a communication route.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "You people who are still alive can get some food and ammunition replenishment now, and we can even give you some penicillin medicine!" But don't you have ten wounded, and I won't give them to you. Since we are the only ones who can treat their guns perfectly, they must follow us back to the military hospital of the 284th Division in the Swamp. ”
Kabisky fully supports this and is grateful.
The matter was settled, and when the warriors were awakened, the first thing they did was to divide their rations, and so that Kabisky and his remaining thirty men, each of them, were well fed.
One MG34 general-purpose machine gun, fifty Mauser rifles captured by the way, and two MP38 submachine guns, there was also a lot of ammunition. More important is food, and the soldiers under Yang Mingzhi's command mainly eat dry bread crumbs. This is also the best military ration summed up by Yang Mingzhi based on the experience of the Korean War in later generations, and the Chinese army under the ice and snow and the difficulty of supply. Here, chow mein is replaced with bread crumbs.
Some of them are already good to eat, not to mention that this is still pasta. Kabisky was bold enough to accept the aid of the Soviet army, and now his people could finally eat staple foods other than potatoes.
At noon, the two sides separated, and Yang Mingzhi paid a lot of casualties when he beheaded Lechicha. Together with Kabisky's men, nearly 200 people were buried here, and to make matters worse, the seriously wounded had no time to help, they had to fight to the death.
The number of slightly wounded, including those whose bodies were grazed by bullets, was also nearly 200.
Yang Mingzhi didn't dare to let others take risks again, his soldiers were very loyal and dared to fight, but the high-intensity marching and fighting along the way, as a person, the limit was almost reached. Everyone needs to be rectified, it is best to take a hot bath one by one, and it is best to take a sauna!
Right! Sauna! The newly built barracks in the blacksmith village even have a sauna!
Yang Mingzhi gave an order, and the whole army retreated in the direction of the swamp.
Just as they set out on their journey, it was the night of the day. A full infantry regiment of the 715th Division, which had come to the aid of Lechicha, arrived and saw only the exhausted defenders and a few buildings burned and blown up. In the warehouse area, a flour warehouse was burned down, and the warehouse where gasoline was stored was unharmed.
This always happened on this road, and the German soldiers couldn't help but recall what happened to the 707th Division, and the fear of being surrounded by large explosions and earth-shattering fires made this infantry regiment begin to strengthen its defenses after arriving.
At this moment, the remnants of Hoffman and Freud's defeated generals also gathered towards Lechtsa with their exhausted bodies. Knowing that it was likely to resist the so-called large forces of the Soviet army, the mood was immediately spreading.
Is such an army still combat-ready? The two regiment commanders could not help but worry about their future.
Hoffman even joked: "After this battle, I'm afraid the Gestapo will investigate our division up and down, and a regiment commander like me is likely to be kicked back to his hometown, and he will be a reserve, or even never again!" ”
But Freud didn't think as far as he wanted, "Don't think too much about it, and order the troops to move on." Rather than being an ordinary person, we are still commanding the troops, and it is also a question whether we can hold Lechica until more reinforcements arrive. (To be continued.) )
