Ordinary people must be surrounded by ordinary people, so although soldiers can often be encountered in the lives of ordinary people, they are definitely a minority. However, on the battlefield, that is different. In this place, in addition to soldiers and soldiers, it is rare for ordinary people to be present.

So, Grolev met an acquaintance, but this time it was not an enemy, but a friend.

Grolev was very happy from the bottom of his heart, and the man named Chelayev was also very happy. After all, meeting old comrades was different from other things.

After the two said a few words, Grolev immediately pointed at Gao Yang and said, "I'll introduce you to us. This is our leader, his name is Gong Yang."

Chelayev looked at Gao Yang and said with a strange look on his face: "Captain?"

"Yes, I am a mercenary now. Everyone here is a mercenary group."

Chelayev said in surprise again: "Mercenary? Did you actually become a mercenary?"

"It's a long story, but I did become a mercenary, and it's been a long time."

"Then why are you here? Someone paying to hire you to fight?"

"No, we don't have money to get it. How can we say that we came here voluntarily, just like you and your son, you are Russian, and you don't have money to get it here, but you still came."

Chelayev laughed and said loudly: "I understand, we are all volunteers, and you are the international column."

Grolev nodded and said, "That's right, that's what it means, old friend, are you all the troops outside the city?"

Chelayev smiled and said, "That's right, it's all brought by me and my son. How about it? Isn't it okay?"

"The guns were shot very accurately! You did a good job, but I'm very curious. You are a pilot in the Army Aviation and all you know are colleagues from the Army Aviation. So how did you summon so many artillery? There are so many cannons. Are you carrying a mission from Russia?"

Chelayev shrugged, grimaced, and smiled, "Who told you that they were artillerymen? They are workers from the Krafny Arsenal. This arsenal makes cannons and repairs cannons. Of course, they have to inspect cannons, so they can fire cannons, move faster than artillery, can maintain, ensure that they are better maintained than the troops, and can repair them. So, we found a few cannons in this factory, repaired several cannons, and also set up a workers' guard. When we knew that the war was going on here, we came."

The group of people looked at each other in front of each other, Gao Yang couldn't help but say, "Workers? All are workers?"

Chelayev waved his hand and said, "No, it's not all workers, there are a small number of soldiers and officers. My son is from the 205th Independent Motor Infantry Battalion of the 58th Army. He brought some comrades. As for me, I also contacted some comrades here, but we are all infantry. You understand, our infantry has 206 people, 75 of whom are veterans, who have been on the battlefield, and are real veterans."

After saying that, Chelayev said with regret: "It's a pity that we have gunners, but there are too few observers. My son brought four observers, but they all died. There is no way. The battle just now was really fierce. The opponent was braver and smarter than I thought."

Gao Yang immediately said: "We have an observer, Rebrov, come here."

Pointing at Rebrov, Gao Yang shouted: "He is a graduate of the Sumei Advanced Artillery Academy, a talent! With him, your cannons will not lose their function."

Chelayev immediately said: "Sumui Advanced Artillery Academy? Very good, very good! Let's have time to chat slowly in the future, but now it's still important to do business. When fighting, let's go to the front line as soon as possible. Young man, come with me."

Gao Yang said anxiously: "No, wait a moment, I have a combat plan, I hope you can cooperate."

Chelayev said seriously: "Okay, please speak."

Gao Yang exhaled and then said seriously: "The current tactic is to keep the enemy out of the city, but I want to change the tactics, put the enemy in, divide the enemy, and force the enemy to occupy it in the form of a small group of troops after entering the city, so that we can gain the advantage of number and firepower in the local area and eat small groups of enemies separately."

Chelayev frowned and said, "Why do you do this?"

Gao Yang pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "Look, this is the general distribution of power between us and the enemy. At present, the enemy and our fronts are relatively clear. The enemy can choose to retreat at any time. If we only consider Karzisk, it is best to force the enemy to retreat. However, judging from the situation in the entire Donetsk region, although we are an outer battlefield, it involves a large number of enemy troops, so we are very critical here."

After saying that, Gao Yang stood up straight and said with a serious expression: "Now, the battle in the Donetsk region has reached the level of battle, the militia is at a disadvantage, the situation is precarious, and the city of Donetsk is very hard to fight. If we consider the situation on the entire battlefield, if we fail quickly and the enemy can transfer a large number of troops to Donetsk, then the defense line of Donetsk will inevitably be torn apart. If we win quickly here and let most of the enemy's troops passively retreat to the front line of Donetsk, the result will be the same, and the enemy will be strengthened."

Chelayev frowned and said, "The enemy will be strengthened to the Donetsk line, so we can also divide our troops to support us if we win."

Gao Yang sighed, "No, because we don't have any extra troops to support Donetsk. Our total troops are only about 800, and most of them are new recruits. Therefore, even if we win, we cannot divide our troops to support them. We can only defend and use favorable terrain to restrain and eliminate the enemy's living forces."

Chelayev thought for a while and said loudly: "I understand, then what do you want to do?"

Gao Yang smashed the map and gritted his teeth and said, "Put the enemy in and fight street battles with them, but you can't let too many enemies in. If the enemies entering the city exceed our limit, the result is that the enemy really takes over Hartzisk. Therefore, you must be able to provide timely and accurately provide artillery support to block the entry of the enemy's subsequent troops. Only when we eliminate the enemies entering the city can we send another group of enemies in."

Chelayev wiped his mouth and said with a difficult look on his face: "Your plan is really risky, and if you do this, the residents of Khartssk should hate you so much. You really dare to take the initiative to turn the entire city into a battlefield."

Gao Yang said with a serious expression: "This is a war, so you have to obey the overall situation. In order to prevent the entire Donetsk region from falling into the hands of the enemy, for the final victory of this war, some necessary sacrifices are inevitable and should be done. If you want to win the war without any loss, don't participate in the war."
