During these days of rest, Fuming and his men were undoubtedly the busiest. In the past, the army's grassroots political commissars were crucial to maintaining military discipline. However, these political commissars' excessive consciousness made them always take the lead, and they sacrificed too much.
.For a year, the burden of maintaining discipline in grassroots troops has fallen on platoon commanders, company commanders and other grassroots officers.
The war with the Romanian army ended, and the troops achieved a great victory. Naturally, many problems were exposed after the victory.
The biggest problem is the decline in military discipline.
Especially after the city of Slavtich was broken, some soldiers were still fighting the enemy, and some began to collect trophies and put them in their pockets. According to the regulations before the war, soldiers were not allowed to take trophies privately. With such a war, not many people could always fulfill their duties.
Yang Mingzhi's decision to strengthen military discipline was not empty talk. After the army returned home victoriously, there was one person who was more concerned about this work than him - Fu Ming.
On May 26, Yang Mingzhi came to the headquarters as usual. This time, he listened carefully to Fuming's planning report on rectifying military discipline.
The decision he made was not complicated:
Ensure that in the main force, each platoon has a grassroots political commissar. In other units, first ensure that each company has a company political commissar, and then gradually ensure that each platoon has a platoon political commissar.
Ensure that each company holds an ideological meeting once a week.
In each company's camp, the printed disciplinary provisions of the "Infantry Drill Code" are posted on the wall, and every soldier must memorize them.
Fomin said confidently: "I think that by making these three decisions, our military discipline can be restored quickly. Nasty things like what happened in Slavdzic City will never happen again!"
"This may be a good idea. Nowadays, both outstanding veterans and ignorant recruits need to strengthen their ideological education. You have also read the things Natasha did yesterday and the examination she wrote. Let's talk about it.
Think about it!"
"What do you think? Her apology was very sincere, that's what I heard." Fu Ming chuckled, "I heard that you reprimanded her in person yesterday, which made the girl cry. To be honest, it's hard to be reprimanded by a general like you in person.
, it can be regarded as her honor. This is simply like a father scolding his daughter!"
Yang Mingzhi shook his head helplessly: "If I had a daughter like this, I would be so proud and have a headache! This child shouldn't be impulsive! Now she has returned to the youth camp to continue training those who are of the same age as her and are equally impulsive.
Little soldier, I hope nothing will go wrong."
"Of course! She is smart."
However, it was a coincidence. Just as the two senior officers in the headquarters continued to discuss the discipline issues in the army, a young political commissar wearing a blue hat hurried over.
"Report!"
Fuming glanced sideways at this person and asked, "What happened?"
"Yes, Comrade Director, it's the youth camp, something happened again!"
Listening to this, Yang Mingzhi was a little confused. He sat up straight and asked, "What's going on?"
Fuming immediately explained: "Oh! That's it. After all, Natasha hit someone yesterday and caused some bad effects. Her punishment was cancelled, and the examination she wrote was also very sincere. I still can't tell whether she
I sincerely regret it.”
"So, you sent someone to monitor her?" Yang Mingzhi asked, squinting his eyes.
"Hey! Don't look at me like that! Since you have the power to pardon her, I also have the power to supervise every soldier in this army group." After that, Fuming turned his head again and asked: "Ivan, how is your supervision?
Something happened at the youth camp?"
"Yes! Comrade Director! Comrade Commander! It's Natasha! She, she hit someone."
Yang Mingzhi got angry when he heard this. He slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly: "It's her again! Hitting someone again?! Could it be that this child's examination is perfunctory on me?"
Fuming quickly reassured: "No! I believe in the child's consciousness." He then asked his subordinates: "Ivan, you should tell the truth. Natasha really hit someone again? Why did she hit someone?"
As a result, the monitor told everything he saw and heard, and Yang Mingzhi's anger subsided instantly, replaced by surprise.
"Hey?! Is this the so-called beating?" Yang Mingzhi said harshly with joy: "Comrade Fuming, you are also ineffective in running the army! There is nothing wrong with those children having an internal competition!"
"Of course there's nothing wrong with it, but Natasha still injured someone with one blow! Now, the injured person has been sent to the hospital. To be honest, I never knew that the kid was in a shooting accident, and there was such a thing as a bayonet fight.
ability!"
"Of course I don't know!" Yang Mingzhi muttered: "There are many children from the guerrilla brigade in the youth camp. It is not surprising that there are some thorns here. She taught the thorns a reasonable lesson in two or three times. As an instructor, she
well done."
"Hey, it seems you are really surprised."
"Shouldn't it be a surprise?"
Fuming sighed slightly: "Let's not talk about the small surprise Natasha brought. Let's continue talking about the guerrilla brigade! There are many more people in the guerrilla brigade and those rescued by our army in April.
A force of a thousand people, but they are quite troublesome! I really don’t trust them! These people have terrible military discipline, especially the five thousand people who were rescued. Since they can surrender to the German army, they may surrender again!”
"It's a pity that we only have these soldiers on hand now. The area controlled by our army is full of muddy ponds, and the human resources that can be mobilized are already at their limit! I admit that I have no expectations for the combat effectiveness of these troops, so in future battles
, the main force is still the 284th Division and the Parachute Brigade. It takes time and other means to train other units into first-class units.
There is a proverb in the far East: One soldier is a raging soldier, and a general is raging in a nest! In other words, the army needs excellent commanders, and it also needs your ideological education work!"
"Oh? So you also value my work very much?" Fuming replied as if joking.
Nowadays, the political commissar can no longer interfere with the commander's decision-making. Even Salinchkin, who is Stalin's commissioner and has a much higher position than Fomin, can only retreat behind the scenes and be responsible for all aspects of the guerrilla republic except the army.
operation, and his decision must also be recognized by the military commander. In the past cooperation, everyone cooperated very happily. However, if Yang Mingzhi objects, Salinchkin also needs to compromise.
Since it was about power, Yang Mingzhi felt that he should also talk about it.
"Comrade Fuming, you have always had great power. The entire army's ideological education work depends entirely on you! Moreover, you also have great power over the interrogation and placement of prisoners of war."
Fuming nodded: "That's true."
"So when it comes to the placement of those Ukrainians, it stands to reason that these traitors will be shot directly. At least I know the attitude of my old friend Yelentina, she will definitely do this! But you are not so tough, they are not dead!"
"Yes, this is what I proposed to Salinchkin. That is, if these traitors can be used as a good labor force, let them dig in dangerous mines, which can be considered as making the best use of them. Comrade Salinchkin is also very supportive.
, he considered the production capacity needs of the arsenal and supported my idea."
"Oh! So, besides efficiency, you don't have any other considerations? I know that you grew up in Ukraine. Before, you were in the meeting..."
Fomin immediately interrupted: "I did grow up in Ukraine, and my feelings for Ukrainians are real. As for whether they love me as a Jew, I have no hostility towards Ukrainians anyway. Besides, send the man away."
In the mining field, women are sent to dig the ground to grow potatoes in remote places. This arrangement is good for us."
Obviously he didn't want to raise these issues anymore, so he brought the topic back.
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "In that case, is it also your decision to send Romanian prisoners of war to the mine? To be honest, I think there is something wrong with this!"
Fu Ming was stunned: "Oh? It seems that you also have compassion?"
"No! This is a promise. I promised them to farm, so they surrendered obediently. Now the result is that I deceived them! They complained and even deliberately refused to cooperate!"
"I'm sorry, I think about it for efficiency. Since you have an opinion, I will act in accordance with your request."
"No! My attitude has changed now. Let them continue mining! They are invaders anyway." Yang Mingzhi thought for a moment, even if he had a few more words with Brimayu, who was suffering from new and old injuries.
, these are all false and deceptive attempts to stabilize the prisoners of war. However, it is true that the Romanian prisoners of war did not cooperate, and the Soviet army must take some measures. "I think this way, we will temporarily eliminate the weak in the mine and let the weak dig the soil and farm.
This stabilizes the minds of prisoners of war. Besides, our current sulfur production capacity has already met the needs of the arsenal, and we have even made a batch of sulfur soap."
"Okay, I'll go to Salinchkin again and ask him to change his plan."
