Chapter 35: The Death Squad

Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied with Kuznetsov's battle plan, and he confidently returned to the station of his troops.

Many soldiers saw their two commanders smiling and stood upright. The same is true of star fruit, who knows that her husband is clearly a war maniac, eager to fight but always able to stand out. His smile meant nothing else, it must have been military operations again.

The girl walked up to Yang Mingzhi and asked calmly: "Brother, what happened when you went to the military headquarters, is there another war?" ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded and stroked his wife's little head.

To be honest, as a military woman, the most worrying thing is naturally that her husband will die on the battlefield. Star fruit is here, she has been leading the soldiers to charge into battle these days, she doesn't say it, she must have been worried in her heart.

"Little Peach. Is the lunch box I asked you to rinse done? “

"It's done, but I think it's a waste of water to rinse with drinking water."

"No, it won't." Yang Mingzhi subconsciously played with the girl's braids, because he hadn't washed his hair for a long time, not to mention the sour smell of his hair, and his hair was split a lot.

Yang Mingzhi raised his head, and in front of him, the soldiers had already gathered a lot. He saw these brothers who were born and died, and the last strength of the 284th Division was here. These people did not choose to run away, and they were determined to follow Yevlov and Berekov.

Yang Mingzhi paused and glanced at everyone, and immediately said: "Comrade Yevlov, the mayor and I came back from the division headquarters, and after analysis, we encountered a big obstacle on the way to retreat. The city of Moziri, which we must capture, is the only way we must go to the swamps. ”

He used the word capture, implying that the Germans had already occupied the city militarily.

One soldier immediately raised his hand and asked, "We really have to go through here." Now our entire army is not very strong, and many people are physically and mentally exhausted. I don't know how many sacrifices will be paid for the capture of Moziri. ”

"That's right, since we are retreating along the rivers and forests, there is no need to pass through Moziri."

"Let me say, it's better to swim across the river."

The fighters were babbling, and Yevlov coughed a few times. Soon the interested people in the team immediately stopped talking.

"Comrades, we have not been afraid of the Germans to get to this point, and the commanders must have chosen to capture Moziri for their reasons. I am a member of the Communist Party, and I decided to stand by the decision of the commander. Party member Ilyich Rechkalov said.

Yang Mingzhi looked at this with interest, his shining debut attracted many people, and most of the party members fought on his side.

In fact, most soldiers knew that their complaints were useless, and that if they continued to complain, they would be ridiculed as cowards.

Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and called for everyone to be quiet.

"Comrades, we must cross the river to continue our retreat, and perhaps crossing the river from somewhere else will avoid casualties. But you also have to think about the time that will be consumed. Think about it, if we take Moziri, it will become a supply depot for the Germans. Lots of food, ammunition, clean water, lots of daily necessities. Don't you want to tidy up yourself, we haven't shaved in a long time. ”

In this way, everyone is happy, Lao Maozi's beard is very dense, they usually use professional razors, but now they can only use daggers, which is too dangerous. Just grooming and hygiene is not enough to give everyone more desires, critical food and ammunition, and even new clothes, which everyone desperately desires.

Yang Mingzhi saw that everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, and immediately announced the plan.

"Our scouts have found that the enemy defenders in Mozili have only one regiment, and they are very poorly defended. After all, they are only logistics troops, and we will use the method of surprise attacks to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. We will occupy the bridgehead, clear the enemy defenders, annihilate this German army and take their supplies. ”

Yevlov added: "I have already won the opportunity for our 284th Division to attack in front of Kuznetsov, after all, we have the title of Guard, and we should use our spirit in the first battle more than friendly troops."

This operation, we will carry out in the dark, and our friendly forces will cooperate with us. The battle was scheduled for the early hours of the morning. ”

"Okay, now that we're done, the battle is going on tomorrow morning, and I want all of you to get involved. The glory belongs to our 284th Guards Division, and I will personally lead you in battle. Yang Mingzhi said in high spirits.

Having said that, if you don't decisively support the battle, then you will undoubtedly be worthy of the title of Guard. For the soldiers of the 284th Division, the troops lost more than 10,000 people, and the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms was a relief, and the honor they won with their lives must not be destroyed in their own hands.

Yang Mingzhi decided to organize a death squad, although everyone had to participate in the battle, the wounded soldiers and those with poor physical fitness would inevitably be eliminated.

All the fighters assembled in front of the commander, and the fighters, who were tall and strong, and did not have serious wounds on their bodies, were singled out. Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied with the results, and the special anti-tank battalion directly under him was able to survive until now that it was an elite, and all of this unit would participate in the war. After that, the death squad was supplemented with more than 200 people, making a total of 530 people, which is equivalent to the strength of an infantry battalion.

The troops have been selected, and the next step is to sort out combat readiness.

Many soldiers gave their comrades their uniforms and boots in good condition, and some gave their own weapons.

Yang Mingzhi had already discovered that he was really a material for fighting in the battle, and now the knowledge he learned in the original plane must be able to be used, especially to carry forward the advantages of night battles.

In war, the Chinese army played to its strengths and avoided its weaknesses, and when night fell, the troops often launched military operations, so the capture of Mojili was chosen while the people were asleep.

In night battles, the available lighting is often the moon hanging high, and the light is very poor, and it is difficult for rifles to aim. Therefore, Yang Mingzhi ordered the death squads to be equipped with automated weapons.

"Your Mosin Nagant, SVT rifles, these two weapons are too powerful to aim at in the dark. I want all of you to be armed with submachine guns and carry four bullets. Equip yourself with more grenades, at least four per person. We don't need heavy machine guns, and now the rest of the DP light machine guns in the division are also brought over. ”

In the dark, super automatic firepower becomes the key to victory.

There are still the last five RPG warheads in the troops, and this precious weapon Yang Mingzhi decided to mothball for the time being. When the large forces have successfully retreated to the swamps for important reorganization, Kuznetsov will lead the rest of the troops to continue the retreat, and these secret weapons will be handed over to them until they reach Moscow.

Yang Mingzhi actually wanted all of his subordinates to carry disposable bazookas like RPG22, but it was still 1941. The current imitation RPG2 only has a devastating blow to the No. 3 tank, as for the future results of the Tiger Leopard is unknown, he only hopes that Lao Maozi can be cherished, so that the war will not be more difficult.

The troops were unified, and some captured German submachine guns were used. The effective range of the MP38 is 300 meters, the bullet power is acceptable, and the accuracy is higher than that of Bobosha. Yang Mingzhi also saw that some soldiers were also equipped with Bobod submachine guns, which were very similar to Bobosha.

"What a hodgepodge of weapons." Yang Mingzhi actually hoped that his troops were all equipped with assault rifles, and they were holding Bayi bars one by one, and the firepower was not as powerful as that.

In the historical situation, the all-crew submachine gun is already very good.

The battle was to begin at night, and Kuznetsov sent an order that the troops involved in the attack should immediately go to sleep, recuperate, and begin to advance when the sun was about to set. He ordered the reconnaissance company to accompany Yang Mingzhi's death squad to act together, but he had no choice but to agree.

There was going to be a battle in the early morning, and Yang Mingzhi seized the time to rest. He saw that his wife had already spread a canvas on the ground, and this little girl really knew how to take care of people.

Star fruit lay on her husband's side, subconsciously holding his arm.

"What? Are you worried about me? ”

"Well, you're going to war again. You men are always like this, you don't care about anything when you fight. I'm afraid you'll get hurt, and I'm afraid ......."

Yang Mingzhi immediately interrupted her concern.

"Little Peach, the war has begun, and we are all helpless. Instead of worrying about the sky, it is better for us to fight for a way to survive ourselves. We are like this in Belarus, and not in the north-east. How many winds and waves have survived, if God let us die, we would have been blown up by the little devils in Heilongjiang a long time ago. ”

Speaking of this, star fruit was relieved, she was a little girl with a low level of education, and she still worshiped ghosts and gods in her heart. The two of them looked at each other, "Little, I, Yang Mingzhi, have never thought of it." Scratch her nose and the girl was immediately happy.

Star fruit stood up, "Husband, you continue to rest, I'll prepare a pot of water for you, and drink a little when you wake up." I also have to take care of the wounded soldiers. “

Yang Mingzhi waved his hand, his military hat covered his face, and he snored after a while.
