It has just dawned. For Belarus, the current climate is still warm and then cold. The east has gradually turned yellow, and a thin mist has begun to form on the wide river surface.
The trumpeter blew the trumpet when it was time to finish getting up, and the melodious sound of the trumpet also attracted Yang Mingzhi to crawl out of his warm shack.
The night's sleep was not comfortable. He dragged his flabby body out of his bag and took out a piece of black bread, swallowed it whole, and then skillfully opened the kettle.
"Oh! This is actually wine!"
In his confusion, he even forgot that he had accepted a gift from Kavitsky yesterday, but had a whole bottle of vodka in the kettle.
After a sip of wine, he quickly sobered up and quickly thought of Kavitsky and his night homework.
After summoning his guards, he easily found Kavitsky himself on the platform.
I saw this man wearing a large leather jacket and giving orders to a kind of peasants. Some peasants pulled several cables, and some pushed the carriage carriage up, and then they swarmed up and tied several hemp ropes to the wheels.
After getting everything ready, the people on the raft raised a small red flag and paused for more than ten seconds. The raft gradually floated towards the other shore.
"It's really interesting. Their work efficiency is not low!" Yang Mingzhi nodded. He looked around and saw that the same was true for many ferry lines.
He hurried over with a smile and suddenly patted Kavitsky on the shoulder.
"Ah! Commander! You are already awake!"
"Yes! I'm already awake. Tell me how many supplies you transported this night!"
Kavitsky was about to report the matter. He stood up straight and opened his notebook to read.
This night, a total of 90 carriages, 520 horses, 900 captured rifles, 40 machine guns, and all the heavy equipment of the second regiment crossed the river. In the end, he made a concluding statement: "Commander,
The second regiment has now crossed the river with its people and equipment, and the third regiment has also transported part of its equipment. Now that it's dawn, we no longer have to wait around to do things. We can now transport people and supplies as quickly as possible.
!”
"This is the first good news today!" Yang Mingzhi's warm expression affirmed Kavitsky, but from the dark circles under the man's eyes, he also knew that Kavitsky was also exhausted. "You too
Go take a rest."
"It doesn't matter! My body can still support it. Besides, I am the village chief and it is my duty to supervise the villagers' affairs."
Seeing that he was so insistent, Yang Mingzhi didn't care. If the superiors airdropped coffee powder, Kavitsky would have to drink a cup before he could do his job well. Now, he and many civilians can only rely on perseverance.
Their efforts needed to be recognized, so Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead and encouraged: "You guys work hard, you can't eat all the horse meat in a short time. Every civilian who participates in the transportation will be rewarded with at least one kilogram of horse meat! That's not right.
!The seized military rations include a large amount of black bread, which is what you have these days. After this is done, no one will get ten kilograms of potatoes."
"That's it! Then I'd like to thank you on behalf of the villagers!"
Kavitsky saluted and immediately greeted the peasants: "Listen, everyone, Comrade Commander has issued an order. Everyone, work hard and get the crossing done. Everyone will eat bread and meat!"
Nowadays, nothing can win people's hearts more than high-quality food. The quality of life during the war has been no longer pursued by anyone. Sour black bread is a kind of enjoyment!
These civilian workers suddenly developed a huge "fighting enthusiasm", but the physical fatigue was real. These night shift workers went to bed after the sun rose, and were replaced by the civilian workers who were responsible for the day.
Also after the sun rises, the work of ferrying supplies is suspended, and all lines give priority to transporting people!
The soldiers of the third regiment, after all, they only have more than a thousand people, and their strength is concentrated in three full battalions. It does not take long to transport such a small number of troops across the river. Anatoly finished his hearty meal
After breakfast, they went to form their team, and the soldiers of the third regiment, under the watchful eye of the commander himself, gathered at the dock and lined up in order.
Yang Mingzhi watched the soldiers closely, especially the female soldiers. The important equipment for everyone was rifles and sleeping blankets. They wore combat cloaks that could protect them from wind and rain. The originally bulging backpacks were now quite dry.
.
The soldiers boarded the rafts one after another, and it took about twenty minutes to go back and forth, transporting one platoon at a time. In other words, within two hours, all members of the third regiment crossed the river. The crossing of the river home went very smoothly, especially after the sun rose high.
The mist on the river quickly evaporated, and the soldiers who were waiting to board the raft easily saw their battle reaching the other side, and then watched the raft slowly being pulled back by the civilians on the shore.
There was no glitch in the whole process, and Anatole insisted on persisting until the last group of soldiers boarded the raft.
He made a final report to Yang Mingzhi himself: "Comrade Commander, our regiment will go home immediately. I will start the return journey after landing ashore according to the opportunity."
"Very good! I still have to wait for the parachute brigade to arrive, and then I will reach the other side."
Tepunov did not let Yang Mingzhi wait for a long time. They started taking action after dawn. These people's actions were not hindered anymore. At eight o'clock in the morning, the entire brigade and cavalry battalion arrived.
They transported a large amount of baggage, with a total of more than a thousand horses, and each horse also carried some supplies, especially captured firearms. Those carriages were even more funny, they were connected in series like a locomotive, four horses
Horses pulled three empty carriages. Some of the carriages had become carriers for the lightly wounded. They sat on the carriages filled with shells and ate pieces of bread. They did not care about the horse power and arrived at the ferry in a happy mood.
In fact, if the Paratrooper Brigade had not arrived at the ferry, he would have left on a raft early in the morning. He was in a good mood today, so he was not angry at the Paratrooper Brigade's delay.
After meeting Tepunov, Yang Mingzhi's last worries disappeared. Kavitsky was entirely responsible for the arrangements for crossing the river, and he himself, along with a group of guards, the signal corpsmen of the frontline headquarters, especially Na
Tasha and Igor also boarded the Type 1124 gunboat and quickly arrived at the dock on the other side.
However, there was one thing he didn't know.
Commander Yang Mingzhi, the lieutenant general, was still in military uniform, and the big gold star on his chest had also been wiped. He was standing next to the bow turret, and his image was easily visible to people on the other side. Among the onlookers was her.
On the right bank pier, the soldiers and civilians guarding the place were eagerly watching their heroes land.
Stepping onto the pier on the right bank of Missi Ferry, there were cheering crowds and an enthusiastic girl waiting for him.
Her appearance surprised Yang Mingzhi, and he exclaimed in Chinese: "Xiao Tao! Why are you here? You should be at the General Hospital!"
"People are worried about you!"
The girl's gentle expression intoxicated her husband.
Yang Mingzhi had no idea why his wife was here. Could it be that she came here to give emergency treatment to the wounded who had just crossed the river?
Looking at her, Yang Mingzhi said with concern: "My dear, you have lost weight."
"Well, I've lost weight. It's because I care about you and I'm tired from work. Why, I've lost so much weight?"
"Yes, I'm very thin." Yang Mingzhi stepped forward and said calmly: "Now that I'm back, it's my turn to make some small meals for you and feed you and our children."
The people present had no idea what their commander said to their military doctor. In short, the famous female field surgeon looked shy, and the warm scene made the soldiers happy.
