Yang Mingzhi also recovered from his surprise. Summit 23S.

Fastest update

"Yevlov, I didn't expect you to be afraid too?"

"No! My general, if we face such an enemy, even if we emphasize discipline and courage, and have a fearless spirit, we will all die with honor. This is my bottom line. Our 284th Guards Division must not be completely

The army was destroyed!"

Yang Mingzhi looked at him, then stared lovingly at the incomplete military flag on the wall, and couldn't help but sigh.

"We launched military operations on June 18, and it has been forty days now! We alone have lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and these are all experienced veterans! Our friendly forces also suffered heavy casualties. This

We have been severely weakened by this battle, and it is time to end the battle."

Sarinchkin didn't know much about military planning. He respected the generals' tactical plans very much, but when it came to political issues, he jumped out decisively. He asked: "Comrade Berekov, are you sure our army must withdraw in full?"

Yes. Our army basically took the initiative to withdraw from Lechica. Do you know that if you issue such an order, it may damage your reputation?"

"You have heard all our discussions, and I tell you clearly that I will issue an order for the troops to withdraw from Lechicha." Yang Mingzhi estimated that it was precisely when he saw that he was about to make up his mind that Salinchkin deliberately

Ask that.

Yang Mingzhi is not a political fool. Lechicha was indeed liberated. If the Soviet army abandons him on its own initiative, public opinion will indeed be detrimental to itself. The people of the Soviet Union will probably not think that if the Soviet army insists on holding Lechicha, the whole army will be annihilated.

Fighting behind enemy lines will be a huge loss. They will only see that it was Lieutenant General Berekov who ordered the troops to abandon the city and hand it over to the Germans.

However, Yang Mingzhi cannot think so much. He firmly believes that justice lies in the heart of the people.

Since Salinchkin asked this, it is indeed of great significance to abandon Lechitsa. He will definitely write a lengthy report and report it to the Defense Committee and the Supreme Soviet.

Regarding the principle of "everyone survives when he loses his land", Yang Mingzhi talked a little bit more. He gave Salinchkin an explanation first and reiterated that the strategic value of Lechicha has been greatly reduced, as well as the battle of Gomel.

To fight against this situation, the Guerrilla Republic has tried its best.

Salinchkin nodded deeply: "You have reasons for withdrawing from Lechica. I also agree with these reasons. I hope our superiors, especially those fat-headed guys working in the office, will not be too high.

Force us. At least we have annihilated a total of 30,000 enemies and puppets!"

Because Salinchkin used some vulgar adjectives, the atmosphere in the headquarters became slightly more relaxed, and most of the nervous people smiled slightly.

Yang Mingzhi continued: "The German 371st Division arrived at the river but did not go south to Loev. Especially now, they sent the main force north to try to capture Lechica. I have reason to believe that our army's heavy deployment of troops in Homnich suddenly changed.

It’s very redundant.”

"Hey! Berekov, have you thought of a new tactic again?!" Yevlov suddenly asked excitedly.

"New tactics? So, it's just a bit risky."

Just when Yang Mingzhi was talking nonsense to Salinchkin, his mind was also spinning rapidly. The so-called ability to easily repel the 900 people currently under Womansky's command means that these German troops must have very strong combat effectiveness.

They must be the elite of the 371st Division.

The 371st Division ordered its elite to move north. Will the troops remaining on the current front try to go south? Originally, the possibility of the German army going south was very small, but now it has become simply impossible. Considering the strength of the swamp, the first

The 17th Guerrilla Brigade, the 21st Guerrilla Brigade, four militia regiments, a handful of people from the anti-aircraft battalion, and arsenal workers, there are nearly 20,000 people who can be armed. Of course, this group

Most of the people have only a small amount of military training, and they can basically only hold guns for self-defense. It is currently impossible to participate in the attack. There are still 6,000 women among the refugees who can become militiamen, but they do not have guns at hand.

On balance, Yang Mingzhi believes that the swamp is not in crisis for the time being.

"Comrades!" Yang Mingzhi opened his hands and faced everyone: "Comrades! At this moment, I think we should take a gamble! We must not simply order the troops holding Lechicha and containing Gomel to withdraw.

We must create a big disturbance for the German army.

If you want to ask me what I want to do, I will tell you! I will take the initiative to attack Mozyr!"

The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

Yevlov, Fomin and Salinchkin all failed to keep up with Yang Mingzhi's thinking.

"My dear comrade, are you kidding me? Attack Mozyr? What are you attacking with?" Yevlov stretched his neck and stared at Yang Mingzhi with confusion in his eyes.

"Oh, so you are a major general and I am a lieutenant general." Yang Mingzhi sneered, and then pointed out who the troops were that could attack Mozyri.

"The Kovpak Corps will end its confrontation with the German army, and the containment task will be fully undertaken by the two female corps. The Kovpak Corps will immediately march to the northwest, arrive at Mozyr as quickly as possible, and begin to attack the city. Comrades, I think

It surprises you, especially you, Comrade Salinchkin.

Please don't be surprised, I'm just applying an ancient tactic to the present."

Yang Mingzhi's so-called tactic was "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao". Kovpak went directly north to attack Mozyri. They didn't really have to fight with the attitude of contributing to the city. They just needed to create as much noise as possible and declare their existence. In this way

In the future, the German army may think that its "rear base" is seriously afraid, so the 370th Division besieging Lechica, even the 371st Division stationed near Homnich, and even the 771st Division mopping up around Svetlogorsk will all

It was necessary to divide the troops to reinforce Mozyr. After all these struggles, the German divisions were exhausted, and the Soviet army took the opportunity to withdraw all its troops and return to the swamps, and actively launched defenses.

In this way, whether the German army wants to attack south or not, the Soviet army can seize the opportunity.

"Wonderful! You Chinese are so smart. I think most military generals would never think of so much!" Salinchkin praised.

However, Yang Mingzhi felt that Salinchkin's praise was ironic, and perhaps he was overly worried.

Yang Mingzhi coughed twice more and said solemnly: "I gave this operation a name, and it's called Encircling Mozyri to Save Lechicha." (Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao is replaced by four Russian words)

Yevlov had to feel ashamed. He asked weakly: "Mozyr is defended by the German 734th Division. We don't know how many troops they have to guard Mozyr. So..."

"I thought about this, so I just hope that Kovpak will cause big trouble there instead of fighting to the death with the 734th Division. Of course, we have to give them some weapons by surprise. The arsenal is using recycled metal materials and is already producing them at full capacity.

Twenty Catfish rockets with a reduced warhead charge, and our trucks also came back, I decided to let them take action immediately. I selected people from Balzen’s troops to bomb Mozyr from a long distance!”

In this way, a combat plan was quickly formulated by Yang Mingzhi, which was to attack Mozyr, force the German army to return reinforcements, and give the Lechicha defenders a chance to retreat calmly.

Of course, there are still many flaws in this plan, and even Kovpak's orders are somewhat vague.

Therefore, when Kovpak received this order to take the initiative, which he was very happy to hear, he couldn't help but be a little confused about many details.

"What does it mean to make a big noise? What does it mean that the ultimate goal is not to capture Mozyr? As long as we have the momentum to attack the city, it will be fine?"

Kovpak had to discuss the matter with his close comrade-in-arms Rudnev.

Since the entire regiment was ambushed in the woods south of Homnich, Kovpak quickly summoned all the captains under his command to hold a small meeting regarding the general's orders.

Kovpak is the decision-maker of the entire corps, and he is currently under the temporary command of Yang Mingzhi. However, many captains have some doubts about their temporary general. Of course, the battle of the 63rd Group Army in Lechica was not without bloodshed, and the results achieved

It's also very big, the honor belongs to them, and the honor is also earned at the cost of human life.

"A general who claims to be the best at guerrilla warfare is still fighting urban warfare in a dull manner. Although the victory achieved at the cost of heavy casualties is very glorious, he himself will be seriously injured after the battle." Strelets, the captain of the second battalion.

Such a statement.

Rudnev coughed a few times: "However, we must obey Belekov's command. This is our obligation. We are about to attack Mozyr. This is the first battle in Belarus since the establishment of our army! We

We must show the heroic spirit of us Ukrainians and complete the task brilliantly." As he said that, Rudnev actually raised his right fist, which was really powerful.

However, the highest political commissar of the Corps and captain of the First Brigade was an expert in political work and did not have much insight into combat.

After all, the 63rd Army suffered heavy casualties. He was ordered to attack Mozyr in an attempt to relieve Rechica's troops. Popdrinko, the captain of the Second Group, stood up and said: "Let me be fair. Let's attack Mozyr.

Will the heavy casualties that happened to the 63rd Group Army not happen to us? Look at our weapons and equipment. Although we have received a large number of machine guns and recoilless rifles, we can only rely on these weapons to attack cities. I completely

no confidence.

Unless, we can lure the enemies in the city into the woods. Is this possible? Absolutely impossible, the German army will no longer be so confident, they will rely on the fortress to defend. Our attack will cost us lives."

"Stop talking." Rudnev shook his head: "Berekov gave us an order. Do we want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and not implement the order?"

"No! I didn't! That's not what I meant."

"Look at what you said. Doesn't the implication mean that you refuse to execute the order? What right do we have to refuse?"

"I'm not a coward!" Suddenly, Popdrinko said loudly, "I just feel sorry for the soldiers who died in vain."

"Stop arguing, we must execute the order." In the end, it was Kovpak who ended all the quarrels, "My commander, obey my order, our army must execute the order of the 63rd Army Headquarters. Now the superiors

I have handed over the order to you. No matter what complaints you have, forget about it. We will set off to the northwest now. We must attack Mozyr as quickly as possible."

"but?"

"No buts! Comrade Popdrinko, are you suddenly afraid of entering Belarus? Or are you brave when attacking German patrols, but are afraid of facing German cities? Everyone, don't underestimate yourselves. When our main force begins

Liberate Belarus and Ukraine, and we will all become regular troops!"

Kovpak also said this to himself. He felt that he had an absolute advantage in staying in this forest to block the enemies who might go south. To attack Mozyr, it was necessary to attack the city. He had never attacked the city.

With experience, I can't help but cringe. But as the commander of the corps, if I shrink, my reputation will be ruined. For the honor of myself, the corps, and even the Ukrainian guerrillas, this order must be implemented no matter how disgusting it is!

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the entire corps began to advance toward the northwest.

Kovpak, who was wearing a leather jacket, also picked up an MP40 and a Soviet-style steel helmet with badly painted paint on his head, and participated in the torrent of attacks.

In fact, he was a little too worried about the future of the troops. Because the telegram clearly mentioned the name, the Guerrilla Republic would bring twenty rounds of rocket launchers. Due to the mistake of the correspondent, the words "catfish" and "rocket launchers" were written in the telegram.

The correspondents of the Kovpak Corps never knew what the Catfish rocket launcher meant. Their scripted translation made Kovpak himself unable to understand why the Catfish was put together with the rocket launcher. Could it be a weapon that bombed Loyev?

Kovpak was suspicious. Maybe the weapon was a rocket similar to the Katyusha. But even if it were a Katyusha, what's the use of only twenty of them?

If Kovpak could ask Balzen, he would have a more detailed understanding of the Catfish rocket. The reconnaissance battalion suffered heavy losses, and they also arrived at Homnich, but were not placed at the forefront. The entire Kovpak Corps was transferred,

Balzen was ordered to stay where he was, waiting for the truck carrying the rocket launcher to arrive, and then catch up with Kovpak.

The Soviet army urgently assembled ten trucks, which were armored trucks that had participated in the attack on Lechica. After they drove back, each vehicle suffered varying degrees of damage.

As long as the bearings and power system of a vehicle such as a truck are intact, even if the front of the truck becomes pitted and ugly, its performance will be almost unaffected.
