Chapter 322: Rescue Kabisky
"Still going to Homnitch?" Yerentina immediately expressed great doubts. The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info "Berekov, now that city can no longer be described as ruins!" Have you ever seen the moon with a telescope? Now Homnitch is full of huge craters, how different is this from the performance of the moon. ”
A very apt answer. Homnich is indeed powder, but we still can't ignore some of his values. Yang Mingzhi said, slowly walking to the map on the wall and pointing to the location of the city.
"In this area, the woods are very thick, and Homnich is completely blown up, and the dirt is full of scrap copper and iron, and the residue of explosives, and the dirt even smells of saltpeter. The landscape is out of step with the surrounding area, so it's like a lighthouse. Now that Kabisky and his remnants are going to be evacuated, I think it will be too difficult for them to walk eighty kilometers alone. Wouldn't it be nice to just let them rush to the ruins of Khomnich and we send someone to pick them up? ”
This decision was reasonable, and Yevlov and Yerentina calculated that it would be terrible if Kabisky and his comrades froze to death in the wilderness.
"Now there is nothing left of Homnitsch. It was impossible for the Germans to dominate those senseless craters in this hellish weather. So we sent some horse-drawn sleds there without any danger. Yang Mingzhi's words strengthened everyone's determination.
"Good! On the orders of the division commander, I sent a small force to bring back Kabisky's men. But before we can do that, we have to get in touch with them. ”
The remnants of Kabisky had a radio station, and they reported their dire situation to the Gomel underground city council. Similarly, the situation on the Gomel side was just as bad, the Germans tightened their control, and the underground mayor Lyudbayov himself was too busy to take care of himself, and these comrades on the Lechtsa side were completely unable to take care of themselves.
The only way to do this was to send them south, and only by entering the swamp and finding the 284th Division would be safe.
It was a difficult operation, and with such a reply, Kabisky regretted it.
"I really envy the ten wounded, they withdrew with the 284th Division. We stayed, and we ended up in such a dire situation. Knowing this, I followed them to retreat. After whining, Kabisky was in a much better mood. ”
He led his troops to a village to beg for food, and fell into the trap of the Germans. The breakout battle was too heavy for this small force. After retreating to a few abandoned forest huts, they finally settled down. And here two more wounded died. It was only after the painful experience that this correspondence to Gomel came about.
Thankfully, they still have a radio station to work with.
The news of the complete unified acceptance of the 284th Division soon reached Gomel, which was then relayed to Kabisky.
The radioman reported: "They asked us to go first to the ruins of Homnich, where the 284th Division would send someone to pick it up." They anticipated that our supplies must be insufficient, and the eighty km trip was exactly right without a guide, which was very difficult"
"Of course it's difficult! Let's hike eighty kilometers, it's let's die! Kabisky looked at his men again, and there were men and women, all disheveled, and there was a smell of failure all over them. Yes, the original team of more than 100 people, after a few brutal battles, only the last twenty-five people remained.
There was very little food left, an average of ten rounds of ammunition per soldier, and even more grenades!
The consumption of a snowy march is enormous, and eighty kilometers can only be covered by superhuman will. But going to Homnich is quite different, Kabisky knows the exact location there, and even now, it is said that it has been turned into ruins.
It only takes 40 kilometers to reach the destination, which I am afraid will not be available until the next day.
Kabisky immediately decided: "Comrades, let's go." First of all, let's go to our secret stronghold and take everything we need. We're going to leave today. ”
On the other hand, Yevlov's correspondence to the Gomel side was quickly responded. In this case, the blacksmith village must act immediately.
Yang Mingzhi pinched his chin, "Balzen's reconnaissance company is very tired, do you still let him go?" Or do you want to send the people of the guard company out of the way? He couldn't make up his mind, but Yevlov thought of a good idea.
After inspecting the troops, the division commander thought about it, and this was an operation to test mobility. The infantry is not competent, only horse-drawn sleighs, or rather, cavalry made from the village of Black Earth.
Yevlov and Volmansky talked a lot about the prospects of cavalry, in the new era, it is not advisable to cut tanks with sabers, and as infantry in mobile combat, cavalry still has a place. Therefore, to rescue Kabisky, it is necessary to send troops to the Black Soil Village.
Yang Mingzhi had to admire this division commander, and he gradually had a battle plan.
In this way, Womansky was ordered to be in danger, how could he let go of this opportunity to show his face? After learning that Kabisky had more than 20 people, he immediately organized more than 50 people who could ride horses to form a horse team.
There were also five horse-drawn sleighs, and the tents on the sleds were loaded with plenty of food, including forage for the horses.
The force would arrive at the ruins of Homnich on this day and be stationed there. They also received an additional order from Volmansky that the cavalry should continue to send patrols north, carrying red flags as a status symbol, so that they might be seen by Kabisky in advance.
By the afternoon, Kabisky and Volmansky had sent out their men.
On one side, the horse team is galloping, and on the other hand, the remnants of the defeated army will advance with difficulty in the wind and snow.
On the blacksmith village, Yang Mingzhi also continued to carry a wooden shovel to participate in the snow removal work, and then went to the arsenal. In the hot smelting workshop, rubbing the warmth.
As a man, Yang Mingzhi must be busy. At night, he was busy again in the weapons design bureau that he had created. This is what happened on January 26, and Yang Mingzhi learned that the latest rocket-propelled grenade was about to roll off the production line. Twenty launchers have been machined, more than fifty warheads have been made, and workers are already working on an intense and dangerous charge.
This day was very fulfilling, and Yang Mingzhi went home with his tired body.
The oil lamp was still on, but his wife was already asleep peacefully.
"Alas, you're busy today, too. After taking care of Natasha, she also had to go to the hospital to help treat the wounded, as well as the villagers who had a cold and fever. Yang Mingzhi, who was talking to himself, took off his coat, changed his boots, and sat on his bed.
At this time, star fruit slowly muttered a few words: "Today, I don't have a husband, you are tired." ”
"Oh? I thought you were asleep. ”
"If you don't come back, I'm restless!" Carambola sat up slowly, and it didn't matter if it was cold. She put her arm around her husband's shoulder and kissed his earlobe.
"Little Nizi, don't be so crooked."
"Why?" The girl smiled and said, "Brother, you're tired today." I heard that our fighters are going to rescue our old friend Kabisky. You work hard about this, and I, as a wife, have to take a stand. ”
"What can you say? I'm tired today! Yang Mingzhi was pulled by his wife and lay on the bed.
Carambola urgently changed into a sweater and rode on Yang Mingzhi's waist.
"How? Is it comfortable to be ridden like this by my wife? Yesterday you made me very comfortable, and today it will be my turn. ”
Yang Mingzhi is happy, this girl is massaged, no matter what, she is happy and happy.
……
The snow is still falling, the goose feather snow is replaced by a light snow, and the climate is still very cold. The red mercury thermometers brought in by the Komsomol showed that the minimum temperature outside was as low as minus 18 degrees Celsius. It's really a bubble pee, and it's a lump of ice before it hits the ground.
But in this terrible environment, at 10 a.m. on January 28, the horse team from Homnich received the good news that Kabiski's men had been rescued.
Fortunately, none of the remnants died on the way out. The Germans did not hinder, did not even find this small unit, their greatest enemy was the low temperature and the wind and snow, and the people overcame. Even when everyone arrived in Homnych, in addition to being frightened by the terrible battlefield landscape, they saw friendly troops, and almost collapsed on the spot when they saw hope. They were all rescued after all, and Kabisky lived in a tent drinking hot milk, knowing that there was nothing to fear.
When good news came, Yevlov immediately ordered: "You guys immediately pull out the camp, I want to see these old friends this evening!" (To be continued.) )
