Therefore, when the cremator Ivanov just came, Yang Mingzhi talked about it.

The map was spread out on the ground, illuminated by two kerosene lamps, and he asked: "You said that the Germans were going to send young girls to Germany to work as maids, and now which is the concentration camp where those girls are held?" ”

Originally, Yang Mingzhi thought that this guy was not very clear, but he never expected Ivanov's answer to be categorical.

He pointed to a point on the map and said viciously: "This is here, in the village of Iglertoskaya, I heard the Germans talking, and they mentioned that young girls were temporarily sent there and then awaited distribution. ”

This detail surprised Yang Mingzhi, and he hurriedly asked, "So! You guys know German?! ”

“Ja！” Ivanov said disapprovingly: "It is precisely because I can speak German that I am treated differently by the Germans, and I am the captain of all the crematories." ”

"Well, let's take a look at this village of Iglertoskaya!"

On the map, the village is in the southwest of Leopovka, and it is some distance from the nearest railway, which can be easily measured with a ruler. From the current location to there, it is only twenty kilometers away. With such a close distance, it is theoretically possible to kill it in three hours at the earliest!

Directly north of the village, there is a railway along the banks of the Pripet River, where there is a node, Olchnovo, where the train stops to drop people down, and there must be a road to the village of Iglertoskaya.

Yang Mingzhi's judgments were agreed by everyone, and the new goal was thus determined.

"Children are the hope of this country, and perhaps we will not find a prisoner of war to rescue the soldiers and then expand our forces in the future. But saving children, especially girls, is of great political importance to us. ”

As soon as these words came out of his Berekov mouth, Joshua and Balzen could not help laughing, those who knew the inside story of the commander had heard those rumors, and this person was obviously particularly interested in young girls!

"Good! We're all excited for the next battle! If you can laugh, it means that you are not tired, we will continue to march and fight, and what awaits us is a hard battle! ”

Rychev completely agreed, he said: "So we save the child, and the next step is to go back directly?" Maybe we can keep fighting! ”

"Absolutely! As long as there is an enemy stronghold or concentration camp in the vicinity of our retreat. Yang Mingzhi knew that his words would make everyone very happy, but he still had to explain: "We must also be vigilant, the captured German area defense map is already in the past, and we must do a good job of encountering the German regular army or the puppet army." So, we can't actually stay in this area for a long time with a large number of people, and besides, we don't have much food! Therefore, based on our comprehensive strength, we can only attack two more targets. ”

"I agree!" Balzen raised his hand and said, "Look at the guys we rescued, they're starving!" If we rescue a few more guys, we can eat up our food in an instant! Walking a hundred kilometers hungry, I don't want to at all! ”

Based on a number of considerations, the direction of the retreat of the troops was finally decided.

The march of the troops was to go in a big circle, they were to attack the village of Iglertoskaya first, and then the village of Belyuskaya, and the whole march was increased by fifty kilometers!

After the meeting, Yang Mingzhi also began to correspond with Novgomel. After the telegraph operator reported a brief report on the troops' battle situation according to the script, he explained the basic actions for the next step.

The message was just conveyed, and when the time reached half past four, a new journey began again.

……

Because of the latitude, the day in Belarus in summer comes very early, and the sky is already slightly blue when the troops are deployed, and the sun will soon rise.

The ranks of the march became very large, and there were almost as many prisoners of war as there were troops involved in the operation. With so many oil bottles, the march will not be very fast. Moreover, Yang Mingzhi did not know whether Igler Toskaya, who he was about to run, had children and the total number of children.

He estimated that the speed of his march would only be one hour and four kilometers, and that it would have to be about nine o'clock in the morning to reach his destination, and then the whole army would immediately enter the battle! This means that within twelve hours, the troops do two things, march and fight. Undoubtedly, this is a huge drain on the soldier's body.

At least their own soldiers can withstand it well, and the rescued prisoners of war can only fight for their lives to follow the large army.

On this trip, Balzen's reconnaissance battalion was still in front of the road. At least there are not many undergrowth in the cold temperate forest, and everyone can still maintain a fast speed when stepping on the soft humus.

Each platoon of the reconnaissance battalion formed a search group, which was deployed one kilometer in front of the column of the large force, and two kilometers wide into the formation, and cleared the troops' roads like a comb.

They didn't find anyone along the way, and they found a lot of pine trees. For them, some of the ammunition was consumed, some of the food was distributed to those people, the weight of the bags was reduced, and the march was faster.

Balzen was expected to reach his target by seven o'clock, which made Yang Mingzhi a little worried about their health.

However, the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion took this concern as an encouragement, and the more difficult it was, the more they had to accomplish it.

Following the direction of the compass, the six hundred men made their way forward, and as their target got closer and closer, their reconnaissance became more and more careful.

Sure enough, very close to the target, a platoon of the reconnaissance battalion was the first to meet the enemy patrol.

A platoon spotted the anomaly, and word quickly spread throughout the battalion. At this moment, Balzen was not worried about his men at all, and these elite soldiers knew very well that the most important thing to do now was to avoid contact with the enemy.

The warriors immediately sought the nearest tree and lay down in the grass at the base of the tree as cover.

There was a squad of German patrols, and their appearance proved that the target was nearby! If the current Soviet army has subsonic whispered guns, such as the special sniper rifle of the VSS in the future, it will be a matter of destroying this patrol in an instant.

But now, the reconnaissance battalion had to fantasize itself like a mossy stone, lying motionless on the ground.

Fortunately, the Germans did not know anything about these potential threats, they did not know that just over a hundred meters away, hundreds of people were facing each other with their black holes!

Balzen also received an order that the reconnaissance battalion might have an encounter with the enemy, and if it had to be fought, it would start a decisive battle and go straight to the concentration camp in one go. Yang Mingzhi fully believed that the reconnaissance battalion would be able to independently occupy Iglertoskaia, a small concentration camp that was originally a small village, and the difference between attacking in large groups was that the casualties might be larger.

Therefore, when the German patrol was strolling leisurely, Balzen would also be recruited by the army telegraph operator, who would communicate directly with Yang Mingzhi on the march.

Knowing that it was important information for the reconnaissance battalion, Yang Mingzhi decisively took the headset handed by the telegraph operator. He was anxious to get accurate information about his target, but he heard Balzen's unusually low voice.

"What? You've finally encountered enemy patrols? Yang Mingzhi was surprised but not surprised.

"Sir! What are we going to do? Is it to continue monitoring, or what? ”

"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi decisively did not give the order first, and he asked, "Have you reached the target?" ”

"Not yet, according to the map, we are very close to the target. Maybe through this forest, that's the goal! ”

"Excellent! You continue to hide! Remember! Don't engage the patrol unless you have to! I have to guarantee the suddenness of the battle. ”
