Chapter 1403: Guerrilla Warfare Behind Enemy Lines
It's summer, and in the Novogrudok region of Belarus, the dense Naribok forest, everywhere is becoming lush.
When night fell, although the sun had not yet completely set, the forest had already been dark because of the obstruction of the leaves, and only through the gaps in the leaves, there were scattered rays of light, just like candles in the night.
A man, armed with a Monasingan rifle with a bayonet, walked slowly through the forest, his Red Army uniform was so dirty that he couldn't see its original color, his hat didn't know where it had been lost, and his beard was so long that it looked like Santa Claus.
He was still walking slowly, walking, and suddenly, his steps stopped.
There's movement in the bushes!
As he gently picked through the bushes, he was on top of the other man's rifle. The same Monasingan rifles, the same bayonets, the same dirty warriors.
"It's your own people!" The person on the other side suddenly shouted excitedly: "Which part are you from?" I was from the 326th Infantry Regiment, we were scattered, and now we don't know where our troops are. ”
Looking at these people, the man said: "My name is Nekhodyaev, and I have also been dispersed, but now I have found a new organization, the Novogrudok regional party organization, and local partisans have been organized, and now we are contacting the separated fighters, and you are welcome to join the partisans." ”
Guerilla? Hearing Nekhodyaev's words, the men were still a little hesitant: "We are regular troops, we are hiding here, hoping to break through the German blockade and return to our troops." ”
Because the Germans were attacking so quickly, many of the Soviet troops were scattered in the retreat, and these soldiers were stranded in groups of three or five in the German-occupied areas, for whom they did not want to join the partisans, but wanted to return to the regular troops.
Seeing the hesitation of these people, Nekhodyaev was quite clear, because he also experienced such a struggle in his heart: "Yes, our ultimate goal is to return our troops, but now, we must regroup, form a group, and gradually expand our organization, so that we can evade the search of the German army and find an opportunity to break through and return to the battle line." During this time, we can use guerrilla warfare to deal a heavy blow to the enemy. ”
After speaking, Nekhodyaev pointed to the distance and said: "Just five kilometers away from our side, there is a railway, this railway that the Germans helped build at the beginning, it was completely to prepare for the invasion of us, and now most of the military supplies of the Germans are transported through this railway, if we destroy this railway, then we will help the front line, think about it, these trains, transporting ammunition and fuel, are fighting our comrades-in-arms!" ”
The men were finally moved, and Labanock, the leader, said: "Well, then we can join the guerrillas, but we don't seem to be able to do anything, we have no supplies, no food, in fact, we have been hungry for several days, and we have started to eat the roots." ”
They are yellow-skinned, they are malnourished, and if they can occasionally catch the animals of the forest, it will definitely be a good meal, and they will not be able to hold on without unwavering perseverance.
Nekhodyaev looked at the watch he was wearing and said: "In two hours, our supplies will arrive, let's go, I'll take you to pick up supplies." ”
Supplies arrived? Labanock swallowed and said to the people beside him, "Let's go, let's go together." ”
During this time, they wandered in the forest, and they were already familiar with everything nearby, and they could feel that Nekhodyaev was heading south with them.
Several of them did not speak, only the rustling sound of walking, and as they continued to walk, they became farther and farther away from their activity area, and even made people feel indescribable.
What if this Nekhodyaev is a puppet army? What if he is the Belarusian Liberation Army who came to lure his side to surrender?
Thinking of this, their pace slowed down, and they glanced at each other, and they both felt that they had just been a little too hasty.
At this moment, suddenly, my eyes lit up.
The trees all around them had disappeared, and it had become a flat area that was not very spacious, and here they saw several other people.
"It's a good harvest." One of them stood up and said to Nekhodyaev.
"Yes, captain, I found a few comrades, they are all hungry, why don't you give them some food first?" Nekhodyaev said.
The captain took out a few pieces of hard, dry black bread from his pocket and walked towards Labanock, and suddenly, there was an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.
The person in front of him is also dirty, but it can be seen that his epaulettes show that he is actually a major!
"Comrade Major, we are scattered." Labanock said.
"Yes, we're all scattered." The major said: "I sent people to look around, hoping to find more of our comrades in the woods, but fortunately today's harvest is good." You must be hungry, so eat some bread first. ”
Labanock took the bread and ate it in large gulps, for they were indeed very hungry.
The major looked at his watch and said, "Let's light the fire, our plane is coming." ”
Ignition!
In this clearing, a few piles of firewood have long been caged, and now, having received the order of the major, they immediately lit the firewood, and it did not burn vigorously, but if you can clearly see several piles of bonfires from the sky, forming a straight line, that is the clearest sign of landing.
Without any sound, a small biplane U-2 aircraft landed easily in a straight line, and when its wheels made contact with the ground, the plane gently tossed and then landed steadily.
Its propeller didn't move, its engine had stopped spinning, and it was gliding over!
Rabannock's eyes widened, he watched the plane fall, looked at the back seat of the plane, there were piles of supplies!
"Yuri, good work." When the plane came to a standstill, the major stepped forward and shouted, apparently it was not the first time that they had known each other.
"It's not hard, you guys hurry up and unload your things, and you have to fly again tonight to send supplies to other guerrillas." Yuri said.
The U-2, a training aircraft with a simple structure, is an absolute all-rounder of the Soviet Union, and it can take off and land in an open space of only a few tens of meters, so it is also the most suitable to use it to send supplies to the partisans in the enemy-occupied areas.
A few people from Labanock came together to help move things, the box was heavy, and it was filled with explosives, which could not be better than if it was used to blow up the railway bridge!
