Chapter 923: Outside Leopovka
Two serious attacks led the German 734th Division stationed there to take alert on the same day, and they immediately reported the damage to the road and the loss of troops, and finally the German occupation command in Belarus received accurate information, including that person, Wilhelm Kubet, the general representative of the Nazi Party in Belarus.
Kubey, Hitler's close comrade-in-arms, whose job was to create a stable environment in the occupied territories in Belarus, was always slapped in the face by a large number of partisans.
In the vicinity of Mogilev, several groups of militants who had been exposed and numbered in large numbers frequently attacked the railway line, resulting in the delivery of ammunition, food and other military supplies to the front line completely unexpected, which indirectly weakened the German defenses in Sychovka and other places.
The situation in the south also worried him, but for nearly a month, the damned swamp had miraculously quieted down. Maybe the bandits there have a serious problem? The sudden attack report was like a deep slap in the cheek!
"The railway line from Minsk directly south to Kyiv has been temporarily interrupted, and the railway communication with the Kiev side has all been detoured through Pinsk into Ukraine!" So ordered William Kubet, who was in Minsk.
In addition, he ordered that all garrisons in southern Belarus, all volunteers and police units in the East, immediately prepare for large-scale operations.
The Germans could advance on a vast battlefield, but in Belarus they had a difficult opponent. Those damn bandits never played their cards according to the routine, and the Germans were tired of coping, not to mention, those people still had the ability to take the initiative to attack. They took advantage of the terrain and certain unspeakable advantages, and the situation of the German army gradually became passive!
Perhaps, only with the attitude of "killing a thousand by mistake and not sparing one" can the resistance in the occupied areas be cured once and for all. But this is completely contrary to his purpose of William Kubet.
History has repeatedly shown that a large country can occupy a small country, and this does not mean that the war is over. The war will evolve into a more complex form, with the local population resisting in various ways and the occupying forces taking drastic measures. As long as violence is used in the occupied territories, and attempts to counter violence with violence, they will be met with even greater resistance!
A bright name appears in the command of the Belarusian occupation forces - Novgomel.
William Kube would never admit that the rabble partisans could re-establish Soviet rule in the muddy swamp! He was even more suspicious of the Soviet Union's 284th Division, which should have been wiped out earlier. These bits and pieces of names are nothing more than guerrillas putting gold on their faces.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is indeed a large rebel group in the swamps, and they broadcast around the swamp, calling on the Russians to stand up against the Germans.
The situation is tense!
The Moziri-Chenobi section of the railway was cut off, and even if the replacement of the tracks could theoretically be completed in one day, it would take at least three days to clean up all kinds of wreckage at the site of the attack!
The Germans couldn't help but put themselves at risk, especially the defenders stationed in Moziri, and when that line was cut off, the entire railway system was changed!
The two railway lines connecting Belarus to Ukraine have been temporarily shortened to one, and the operating pressure on the Mozyr-Pinsk railway section has doubled! If there were another serious attack on this line, even if a sporadic guerrilla force simply blew up the railway, railway traffic would be in a serious disaster!
The geographical location of Mozyr is so delicate, especially the railway station outside the city, which is the railway intersection of the north-south and east-west directions, which can be described as the transportation heart of the southeast of Belarus, and at worst, it can even interfere with the war situation if it is lost!
Yang Mingzhi's intentions are so vicious.
The railway was cut off in World War I, and then the railway was cut off in World War II, so that the transportation hub of Mozili and the enemy stationed here will be uncomfortable! It is foreseeable that the logistics of the German army will be even more exploding, and then the pressure on transportation will be more severe.
……
A new day has arrived, and what awaits Yang Mingzhi will be a full day of marching.
Get closer to the next target Leopovka, capture it, destroy it, save prisoners of war and break the engagement. Of course, it is impossible for the army to break through all the way, not to mention that his people are only 2,000 people, and even if they have powerful weapons, the results they can achieve are still limited.
The sun rose, and the warriors finished their meal and continued their march.
The further north you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and the scouts you send out become more vigilant.
Yang Mingzhi's large army was the first to arrive at the designated meeting and place, and the time was already past noon. The troops were hiding in the forest, and the scouts were lined up in a larger alert area, not only to prevent the appearance of enemy patrols, but also to wait for the scouts sent by Balzen.
Finally, the two armies completed the rendezvous at two o'clock in the afternoon!
Seeing his old subordinate again, Yang Mingzhi was very surprised: "Balzen, did you guys fall into the mud!" The military uniform issued to you by your superiors is not for you and your brothers to spoil! Look at you, except for your face, you're all black. ”
Balzen smiled innocently, took off his hat in front of the commander, and bent down to scratch his naturally curly brown hair frantically. Yang Mingzhi was amazed to see that a large amount of debris visible to the naked eye had fallen from it.
"Commander! The German barracks were burned down by us, and the weapons you invented were so powerful that the soldiers were all charcoal smoked by those black smokes. I don't have time to clean myself up, I'm covered in carbon and dirt, and even my snot is gray, not to mention dust! ”
Yang Mingzhi didn't bother to say anything, look at his troops, they still maintained their absolute strength, sloppy to sloppy, and the joy of victory was always written on the faces of every soldier.
The troops have been reunited, and the whole army has settled down in this assembly area. For many soldiers, the commander's decision was somewhat unusual. It stands to reason that the two armies should continue to march after they join forces, and there is still some distance from the target here, what does the commander want to do?
Some veterans have made a guess that the so-called closer and closer to the goal will be completed, and the battle will be completed in a short time, and the safest way to fight is to fight at night!
The veterans under Balzen guessed right!
This break was also the time for Yang Mingzhi to hold a pre-war meeting.
He summoned all the battalion commanders, as well as the guide Peronsky, threw the map of the region on the grass, and solemnly announced: "Comrades, we are only twenty kilometers away from Leopovka in a straight line!" I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now I've decided that the battle will start tomorrow morning! ”
"Hey, hey! It's a night fight! So our victory is assured! "Balzen is very supportive of this decision of the prefect.
However, Rychev and Bondanov, the two paratrooper battalion commanders, had some scruples.
Rychev asked with a worried face: "Conduct a night battle?" Since we landed, we have participated in training, although there is training for night operations, but this is the first time that we have fought at night! In the past, we didn't have this subject at all. ”
"So you're worried?" Yang Mingzhi looked into his eyes and shook his head. "Rychev, you don't have to worry about anything! My troops are very good at night fighting, but the fighters are not born good at night fighting. Everything has a beginning, and according to my plan, you don't have to worry about anything in the night battle. Now, I would like to invite Comrade Peronsky to tell us about the situation in Leopovka. ”
