On the last night before the operation, there must have been a large number of soldiers who were in high spirits and suffered from insomnia!

This is a battle, and if it is a battle, there will be sacrifices. Yang Mingzhi estimated that no one would think about sacrifice, and they were thinking more about how to unilaterally destroy the German army with advanced weapons, and how to eat up all the military rations distributed and whether they could enjoy it in the future.

Other people Yang Mingzhi can't take care of it, and his wife must take care of it. She tossed and turned, and the excitement of her body, which was clearly trying to rest, was uncontrollable, as if tomorrow was not going to carry out a military operation, but to go on a hike in the forest.

"Alright, alright! You girl sleep in peace, tomorrow is a long march! ”

She ignored this advice.

Carambola leaned next to her husband and muttered, "We'll leave tomorrow!" We're going to get rid of the train, and maybe we'll find a whole bunch of useful stuff in the carriages. ”

"Hey, hey! Could it be that this war is for treasure hunting? Holding her neck, Yang Mingzhi asked her to lie down obediently, and scolded harshly: "My dear, after all, we are going to fight, in other words, to kill." We're going to kill the Germans! Germans are people too! You have to be serious about this! ”

"Yes! I'm serious! ”

She just said something casually, which made Yang Mingzhi a little uncomfortable.

I always worried that she would get lost in the war and become a "killing machine", and now it seems that the situation has not changed much. There has been long-term propaganda in the troops, and the Axis forces have been described as "man-eating beasts", they are on the same level as tigers, so there is no guilt in killing a beast.

The next day, the day of the expedition finally arrived.

When the trumpeter routinely blew in the morning, Yang Mingzhi and his wife immediately got up. The two of them quickly put on their clothes, put on the heavy bags they had prepared, and stepped out of their homes.

Outside, Abram's guards were ready. There is a platoon of elite guards that will protect the commander's safety during this operation. They are also heavily armed, each carrying a heavy shell like a snail.

"Report sir! The guard platoon is assembled! Please instruct! ”

Yang Mingzhi glanced at Abram and ordered to advance towards the assembly point. At the end, he looked affectionately at the locked home, and couldn't help but sigh: "Another expedition!" By the time I returned, it would have been May. ”

Because it was the day of the expedition, today's breakfast was unusually rich, and all the soldiers who participated in the operation were very full.

After the meal, at the assembly point at the training ground, the troops involved in the operation were quickly assembled. Carambola and Natasha meet here, which also includes Igor, the two's full-time recorder.

More than 2,000 people lined up in a neat line, and around the training ground, more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians watched.

Dragging his wounded arm, Kharkov led a kind of junior battalion to see him off. The boy's eyes naturally focused on Natasha, who he had a crush on, and looked at this handsome girl, who, like everyone else, wore a green steel helmet and leggings slender like a crane, and it was hard to imagine that she was carrying a huge bag behind her back.

His eyes inevitably glanced at the respected chief, who had become a Belarusian, and his status was more cordial.

Yang Mingzhi stood in front of a group of generals, and behind him were a group of senior officers and officials.

After all, this operation is not trivial, and Abram, as the most senior official, must make a gesture. In fact, he doesn't need to say anything, as long as he stands here to show support.

The four battalions are the main force of the battle, and Abram's platoon can also be used as elite soldiers at critical moments. In addition, the accompanying medical team, the donkey herds, these non-combatants are under the control of the wartime command. Liaison is maintained by communications teams at each battalion and headquarters. With such a configuration, the troops are more like an infantry regiment.

Even if the troops can be mobilized immediately after the plan is assembled, how can they not leave with a few impassioned words in this spectacular scene, with more than 2,000 people standing majesticly and thousands of people watching and saluting on the sidelines?

Yang Mingzhi stood on a high place, and this time he could operate an electric horn and broadcast to all the staff, and also to the entire blacksmith village, and even to the whole of Novgomel.

"Comrades! Today is a good day to fight! We are going to the battlefield today! The enemy looks weak, but we are unusually strong!

But! We still have to be careful, the enemy's bullets are just as deadly. So, I don't want anyone to be left behind here, I don't want anyone to be wounded and die in battle. Comrades, follow me! Regardless of the enemy, under my command, crush the Germans!

I have nothing but wisdom, blood, hard work and sweat for you.

Comrades will ask, what is the purpose of our war! Our aim was to destroy the enemy's lines of communication, to rescue our compatriots in the concentration camps, to destroy the Germans' killing factories! To put it simply! , I answer in one word: victory! We will strive for victory, no matter how great the price will be, no matter how long and difficult the road to victory will be, this battle will be won by our army, and then we will carry out large-scale operations again and again.

We have to fight for victory, at any cost, because without victory there is no survival.

We will let the Germans taste the pain they have inflicted on us, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!

Ulla! ”

This impromptu speech is just an adaptation of the famous sayings of the great men of history, and these agitations will reach the hearts of the people. The more Yang Mingzhi spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he simply pulled himself up.

The soldiers present shouted Ulla, and the blood spread throughout the blacksmith village.

At this moment, Salinchkin's spirit was extremely excited, he walked to Yang Mingzhi, who was trembling all over, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, causing the whole body to shake.

"Berekov, what you said is so good! That's great! ”

Yang Mingzhi's face was still a little twitched, and he tried to keep his emotions stable, "Sure enough? That's a good point! ”

"Yes good! I want to fight with the enemy with a rifle and a bayonet! After a laughing conversation, Yang Mingzhi's mood finally stabilized, and Salinchkin continued: "I think, now the troops can officially set off!" Our army will win this operation, you don't have to worry about the future, our people will support you in the rear. Even if the scale of the war becomes uncontrollable, it is a big deal that we all go into battle. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, and after giving Yevlov a look, he made the final decision.

He continued to shout into the microphone: "Comrades! Let's go! Begin! Turn left and go! ”

With this order, the whole army turned to the left, and more than 2,000 pairs of leather shoes snapped together, and then began to beat neatly.

The two battalions of paratroopers led by them can be described as the best, and their heads are high. The reconnaissance battalion and the women's battalion followed, with baggage units and non-combatants at the end of the ranks.

Yang Mingzhi was somewhat afraid of the donkey, after all, this was a donkey, and it would be difficult to serve this beast if it was strong. There is nothing good to do but hope that these donkeys will always be obedient.

The crowd of onlookers moved out of the way, and the onlookers were also encouraged by the pre-war painting to see off the glorious Soviet Red Army.

Many villagers were reluctant to eat precious food, and they also took the opportunity to take it out.

According to the regulations, there is no reason for the soldiers to accept this gift, but the demands of the people cannot but be satisfied. I saw that most of the food they provided was dried fish, which was no problem, and it was also very important for the soldiers to supplement protein.

Yang Mingzhi and his guards rushed to the head of the team, and at this moment a large number of children also followed the same steps.

As the team moves out of the residential area of Blacksmith Village to the east, the team will no longer pass through Catfish Village, but will go to the nearest crossing of the Pripet River to Blacksmith Village.

Because according to the previous order, the head of the village of Catfish, Pobosky, received an order to build a pontoon bridge. There is no difficulty at all, it is just a matter of tying up some fishing boats with hemp rope and laying a layer of planks. The project had been successfully completed, and the troops had traveled 15 kilometers before it was time to cross the river. [.]
