, Yang Mingzhi believed that Alexeyev and Sorkina would take good care of Liu Hongxiu. One month seemed too short, and Yang Mingzhi believed that she would seize the time to become a qualified communications soldier and not embarrass herself.
In this way, in mid-June, a communications soldier who could speak Chinese was appointed, and she stayed at the headquarters, so that her wishful thinking could be realized.
For Yang Mingzhi, May 10th was a fulfilling day. The new rocket launcher assaulted the production line and the experiment was a success. Although there was a tragedy of killing people, but to be cold-blooded, didn't the deceased also use his life to prove this?
Are long-range rockets capable of actual combat?
He arrived at the weapons design bureau before the sun set. After an afternoon of busy work, the policeman took out the ballistic diagram he had drawn and used intuitive lines to calculate the impact point of the "Flying Fish" rocket launcher when it was launched at different elevation angles.
The data on the drawing is very crazy. The theoretical maximum range of this rocket launcher is actually as high as 45 kilometers.
"If the rocket flies with the wind during launch, it is not impossible for its range to reach 50 kilometers. The current data is based on a completely windless and 50% humidity condition." The husband explained, Yang Mingzhi
I have no doubt about this.
He has been exhausted physically and mentally these past few days. The conference has been held, the potatoes have been dug, and a new rocket launcher has been built. Is there anything else to do?
Of course there is another one, and that is sleep! Sleeping with your wife in your arms! Only deep sleep and your family can calm your body, which has been spinning for several days.
But he also knew very well that the peaceful days were fleeting. Three to four hundred kilometers southeast of the Guerrilla Republic, the Soviet army's long-planned battle to liberate Kharkov was about to begin.
By then, the 63rd Group Army will inevitably receive an order from the Southwest Front Army Headquarters. What kind of order is that?
Yang Mingzhi was awakened. He was very clear about his responsibilities and obligations as the commander of the group army. Even if his superiors ordered him to attack Kiev, he would go and fight!
Anyway, the raft that will go straight down the Pripet River to Lake Kiev is already being manufactured in full swing!
…
Yang Mingzhi estimated that the orders from his superiors could arrive at any time, and the Kharkov offensive battle would theoretically break out within ten days. In the history of that plane, the battle started in full force on May 12th, and there might be something in this plane
Variety.
On the 11th and 12th, Yang Mingzhi didn't go anywhere. He handed over all the tasks that had to be arranged. The staff officers and general staff of the headquarters were shocked to find that their commander was actually free. He was also there.
In the main office of the headquarters, I crossed my legs and sipped black tea, and stayed there peacefully for two whole days.
Hour after hour passed like this. He occasionally stood up and pointed at the map hanging on the wall, then returned to the wooden chair and closed his eyes thoughtfully.
Yevlov and Fomin knew that he had something on his mind. After several inquiries, they received a very simple answer: "I have nothing to do until the superiors issue combat orders!"
You two are right when you think about it. Each department of the army and the regular guerrilla republic has its own tasks. The army is reorganizing and training, the warehouses are counting the grain harvests, the production groups of the collective farms are still digging potatoes, the arsenals are producing at full capacity, and various
Workshops produced munitions on a large scale, and new sections of track were laid every hour.
In this way, more than 50,000 people in the guerrilla republic are performing their own duties. Only military action can break this prosperous situation.
Two days passed peacefully, and May 12 was not chosen for the new history. During this period, the headquarters had been in contact with the front army headquarters, and their responses were indeed the same.
In Barvinkovo and Belgorod, they were huge powder keg. The Soviet and German armies had already assembled a large number of troops. There was no need for any conspiracy. Even the small soldiers knew that the battle was about to begin. It was just a matter of when.
Hitting is a problem.
May 12th passed peacefully, and the next day, it started to rain.
Signs of rainfall have already appeared, and flood and waterlogging prevention work has been done ahead of time.
"This rain really didn't come at the right time!" Standing at the door of his house, Yang Mingzhi looked at the sky and sighed. The world was in a haze, and the dark clouds were extremely low. The cold rain hit his face, and it instantly poured water.
Awakened his spirit.
He lit a cigarette and still looked at the sky.
The new battle is about to start, and the weather is not good, which will provide additional resistance to the Soviet army's actions. Moreover, isn't this rain just as bad for the guerrilla republic? The weather is really bad today, and the haze makes the mood just as bad, but what should be done
Things can't be stopped just because of bad weather.
Yang Mingzhi smoked his cigarette, turned around and greeted his wife who was getting dressed: "Xiao Tao, it's cold today. Put on more clothes. Then put on your woolen sweater."
"Okay! Brother! It's just a little too bloated."
"At least I won't catch a cold! The hospital can't do without you now. If a great doctor like you gets sick, who will take care of the patients? Put your cloak back on in a while, and be careful not to step in mud puddles."
This instruction was tedious enough, and Yang Mingzhi did not dare to neglect it at all. Yang Tao's body was still small, and she was still pregnant with a baby in her belly. This was her first child, which meant a lot to her and herself.
According to the traditional Chinese concepts of this era, once a pregnant woman has a reaction, she has reason to rest at home and not continue working until the confinement period is completed.
In the Soviet Union, Soviet women did not have this habit, and continuing to work with a big belly was considered a sign of high ideological consciousness. Here, women are very self-reliant.
Yang Mingzhi waited for his wife to change clothes and went out together.
She went to the hospital, and Yang Mingzhi came to the headquarters as usual.
I don’t know how long this rain will last. No matter how long, the river water will definitely surge. Based on the geography of the Guerrilla Republic’s current control area, the water levels of the two rivers have risen, and the original riverside wetlands have also expanded, and a large number of relatively dry areas have become muddy!
Fortunately, the batch of potatoes planted at the beginning of the year was harvested. After the soil was wiped off, a large number of fresh potatoes were stuffed into warehouses and cellars. Even if these new potatoes are damp, their quality will not be affected much. When storing them, the warehouse
Therefore, no deliberate drying is required.
As a result, the menu of soldiers and civilians changed rapidly. Originally, both soldiers and civilians ate bread. The difference was that soldiers ate more and civilians received very little rations. Fortunately, with the help of mushroom picking and fish fishing, civilians' lives were relatively easy.
At present, potatoes have become a staple food! Flour is precious. Without military operations, the physical exertion of soldiers will not be great. Moreover, due to the impact of rainfall, daily training has been suspended. The soldiers are equivalent to a holiday, they are in the barracks.
Wait, disassemble your weapon, carefully wipe off the dirt on each part, and then apply new gun oil.
And civilians can't be so "lazy", because rainy days are not a bad thing.
The food rations of the villagers have been greatly increased. Adults, both men and women, have a daily ration of up to three kilograms of potatoes. In fact, they can also get such rations while sitting at home sheltered from the rain and killing time.
It is impossible for them to be idle! Any civilian who enters here, even if he was a city factory employee or a citizen, is currently a collective farm commissioner. The production of military supplies is not affected by rainfall, and work must not be delayed.
.
Their enthusiasm for work is much higher than before. After the conference a few days ago, the policy of the Guerrilla Republic was revised. The principle of distribution according to work and need has been followed here. After the conference, the upper limit of distribution was greatly increased.
Just like Damara, the textile worker who once worked hard to knit sweaters, she has been working hard and received three times as many food vouchers as before! In this way, she and her only child can not only have enough to eat, but can also use the extra vouchers.
, go to a craftsman to exchange for some daily necessities. A model worker like her has become an example, and the productivity of the entire blacksmith village, and even all the handicraft workshops of the collective farms, has been improved.
After all, only when you are full can you have the strength to give birth!
