Yang Mingzhi and others watched helplessly as the driver figured out the temper of the tank and drove the BT tank out of the forest along the gaps between the trees. Of course, during this period, the driver Chekov also
Inevitably, several trees were broken, but the tank was unharmed.
Tanks are very capable of clearing obstacles, and Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "If we are cutting down trees, we can just let our tanks hit them directly. It is faster than manually cutting trees with an axe."
Yevlov knew this was a joke, so he followed the words: "If we have enough fuel, I will order the tank to hit me hard. Then tie the trunk with hemp rope and pull it out of the forest."
Tanks can indeed be used as tractors, because the original tank was a crawler tractor that could fight. After thinking about it, Yang Mingzhi decided to forget it. People are poor and have short ambitions. What they lack is fuel.
Some soldiers carried these tree trunks and retreated outside, while more people searched for air-dropped packages scattered in the woods.
The air transport team had successfully completed the mission. The TB bombers with tanks suddenly became lighter after dropping the tanks, but they did not know how effective the airdrops were. When Ivanov saw that all the aircraft had completed the airdrops, he spoke in plain language and
The 284th Division contacted and claimed that the mission was completed and the plane returned.
Just a moment ago, the roar of airplanes echoed in the sky, but after a while, they gradually disappeared. At this time, Yang Mingzhi and others had already left the forest, and everyone listened to the noise gradually disappear.
"Their mission is accomplished." Yang Mingzhi looked at the blue sky. The plane was nowhere to be seen, leaving only some strange noises coming from the east.
"Our friends have completed their mission, and now it is our time. Berekov, you are still injured. You don't have to worry too much about the rest. It is better to go back to the hospital and continue to rest." Yevlov said sincerely.
Yang Mingzhi rolled his eyes at him: "My wife knows my injuries best. You see she is here. She has already said that I am not seriously injured. Why can't I be with you? I am the deputy division commander."
Yevlov shrugged and asked about Yang Tao. Before he finished speaking, Yang Tao said directly: "My husband's injury has not healed."
"Bessica, don't talk nonsense, I'm fine."
"Your injury is not healed! You are a wounded person, you need to take good care of your injuries." Yang Tao pouted. She knew that her husband wanted to be a witness at this critical moment of the airdrop. The next step was to collect supplies scattered on the ground. He
The deputy division commander is supposed to supervise the soldiers' work.
Yang Tao rejected her husband's so-called health issue and explained sincerely to everyone: "I'm sorry, actually I encouraged my husband before. He is just too passionate. If he exercises strenuously today, the wound will still open."
After saying this, Yevlov's tone immediately became tough, and Yelentina even pretended to be the driver of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Comrade Berekov, on behalf of the NKVD, I am giving you an order for the sake of your health.
, you must rest in the hospital!"
The words of this girl who should wear a blue hat were a kind of authority in the Soviet army. Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to obey. "Actually, you are doing it for my own good, so whatever, I will listen to you." Yang Mingzhi raised his head and said to his wife,
I also saw her proud little expression.
Yang Mingzhi gave one last instruction: "When the materials are almost collected, I want to see how much we have harvested."
"That's natural. I will call you to a meeting when the time comes." Yevlov promised.
Yang Mingzhi is almost on vacation these days, staying in the hospital either reading a book or watching his wife in a white coat coming in and out. Perhaps because he is also in the hospital, the wounded soldiers feel less helpless and more serious.
Confidence on the battlefield.
He was resting. The burden placed before Yevlov was not small.
This time, a total of three tanks were driven to the airport, and the remaining one was accidentally damaged - its turret and hull fell apart. After people from the Blacksmith Village went to the crash site to inspect the crash, they concluded that it was
The tank cannot even be used as a tractor, and the motive force is no longer used.
Yevlov suddenly seemed very disappointed. A heavy firepower weapon was finished like this? The craftsmen in the blacksmith village shook their heads and said: "Although it can no longer be operated, we can use it as waste. The artillery can be dismantled and used as a small cannon.
It can be used, and the road wheels can be removed to make a trolley, and other metals can be recycled to make weapons."
As the division commander, Yevlov's temperament is not that subtle. People in the blacksmith village said that he was a waste but he was also full of treasures. So they were allowed to dismantle the tanks, just like the two damaged Li-2 planes.
Cut it into eight pieces and recycle it to make grenades.
In the afternoon of the day of the airdrop, the collection work began. Soldiers scattered in small plains, forests and even pools found the packages one after another along the place where the parachute disappeared.
Due to the wind, many packages also floated to Blacksmith Village and Black Earth Village. Those things falling from the sky also scared many sheep raised in Black Earth Village.
People in these two villages knew that the Soviet army had airdropped them. Logically, these supplies should have landed in Catfish Village, but they did not expect them to float to their own villages. This also saved a lot of effort in moving supplies. Li Gu from Blacksmith Village
Shikov immediately ordered: "Tear down all these wooden boxes, let's get the supplies first."
Some people say that materials should be handed over to the military and then distributed. This may be inappropriate.
Liguschkov thought about it and realized that it should be handed over to the army first, but when he saw the militiamen carrying sacks of white flour out of wooden boxes, he immediately became excited. He gave everyone an order: "Use the radio to inform the army that we are here.
According to the situation, we will negotiate based on their arrangements."
In the evening of that day, many soldiers entered the airport carrying bags of various sizes. Due to the terrain, most of the wooden boxes containing supplies were scattered in the forest. It was difficult for the soldiers to lift these objects, which were about one cubic meter in size, so they resorted to ants.
Ways to move.
Many people carried bundled new military uniforms, and many soldiers' eyes lit up after opening the wooden boxes. These are real cotton-padded clothes, and the winter military uniforms have arrived, so everyone doesn't have to worry about freezing in winter.
In addition, there were a large number of flour bags and ammunition boxes. A large number of 7.62mm bullets, which the soldiers were most short of, were air-dropped. In fact, this was also a requirement of the division. Damaged firearms can be repaired, and some parts can be manufactured.
, the most scarce thing is bullets.
Yevlov was extremely excited. The soldiers continued to deliver food and ammunition to the airport. Blankets and cotton-padded clothes piled up into a hill. He told the secretaries: "We must inventory all the materials, especially the food. This is related to our future."
livelihood."
Yelentina worked harder than him. As the division-level political commissar of the army, she and Fumin required the soldiers to do more. For example, they should not embezzle these airdrop supplies, and everything should be distributed after the statistics were completed.
Most soldiers abide by soldier regulations very much, but it is impossible to completely eliminate corruption. Some soldiers will steal a handful of rice and put it in a cloth bag for themselves. If unfortunately they are discovered, these soldiers will be separated.
In the evening, more than a dozen soldiers were found guilty of taking supplies without permission. They were asked to stand in front of their superiors and state what they had done.
Yevlov thought this was a bit of a big fight and really didn't want to listen to these people's nonsense. "If you ask me, they only take a little. None of these soldiers are born into danger. No one knows whether they will be sacrificed tomorrow. Today there are many
It doesn’t matter to me if I take a bite.”
Yelentina was immediately unhappy after hearing this, and her tone of voice increased a bit. "Comrade Commander, these soldiers are indeed as good as you said, but the Red Army is not a thief. What they took away today was a small piece of cheese from the corner."
If things continue like this, will they have the illusion that they can take things at will? Since they are Red Army soldiers, they must strictly abide by discipline. They can obviously receive their share of supplies, but now they choose to take them at will
a little."
Yevlov is currently the most senior officer of the 284th Division, and he still dared not refute when faced with the girl from the NKVD. In fact, he really had no reason to refute, as the soldier's regulations were clearly written.
"Okay." Yevlov raised his head and looked at the soldiers again. "Comrades, you did make a mistake!"
Because it was the Cheka, Yelentina was the strictest on daily discipline issues. This was also related to her life experience, because she was born as an orphan. For her, the Cheka was like her parents, everything was
Dzerzhinsky's policy was to collect orphans for education. The organization was renamed from the Cheka to the NKVD, of which Yelentina was a loyal member.
If Yevlov knew this girl's experience, he would have more respect and awe for her.
According to the regulations, they were sentenced to three days of solitary confinement. Some of these people were dissatisfied with this sentence, and they could only bury their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Because only fools would seek death in front of the Cheka, and Yelentina seemed to be the most dangerous one.
existence, more dangerous than the German army.
Among these supplies, the soldiers found a package from another tank, which actually contained brand-new military uniforms and an important document.
These things were brought into the conference room, and after reading the documents again, Yevlov and Yelentina found that their identities had been fixed.
This document is an order. Yevlov was appointed commander of the 284th Guards Division, Belekov was appointed deputy division commander, and Yelentina of the NKVD was appointed political commissar of the division. This is the work of three people
There was nothing wrong with the transfer order, but Yevlov figured it out.
"This Belekov, obviously the military committee has recognized his identity. Even though he is Chinese, he still holds a high position. Now my military rank has been upgraded to senior colonel, and Belekov is also a senior colonel."
Jelentina was also surprised by this transfer. "Now that I have become the political commissar of the division, aren't the positions of Fuming and I reversed?"
Fu Ming, who was on the side, had no objection at all. Everything was an order from his superiors.
In addition to the order documents, the most eye-catching thing is the new military uniform, including Yelentina's blue hat. The collar badge and cap badge match the clothes. Yevlov immediately put on his new clothes and looked like a decent man.
Officer. The most eye-catching thing about Yelentina is the blue top of her large-brimmed hat, which represented majesty and order in the Soviet army.
"There is another piece of clothing now. This belongs to Berekov. Should we send it to him or call him over?" Yevlov asked everyone.
"It's better to send it." Yelentina said, "His wife is there, and they should be happy together. You must know that this dress is an affirmation of their identity. The superiors fully know that Belekov is Chinese.
Or give him a very high position, I think the superiors have defined them as internationalist fighters."
Yevlov was also very happy after hearing this, but the radio operator reported the new situation very inappropriately at this time.
The Blacksmith Village reported a new situation. They also found some airdrop packages and asked how to deal with them. This was beyond everyone's expectation. Can the packages float that far?
Yevlov immediately dared to step forward to answer the headset and the other party was still asking what to do. Adhering to his experience in dealing with the soldiers just now, he said: "The materials are fully protected. I will send someone to check them tomorrow and add the statistical results. You must protect them."
good!"
"But, we have already distributed it."
Yevlov became anxious when he heard this: "No, you are not allowed to allocate privately! It's not allowed at all!"
The communication was cut off, and Yevlov was a little anxious. He reported the matter to Yelentina, and the two of them became anxious together. "Look, emphasizing discipline is binding on regular soldiers, but not on ordinary people." Yeah.
Flov asked his new division political commissar what his opinion was.
"It's really unorganized and undisciplined! Their behavior must be curbed!" Yelentina said fiercely, "They should be punished."
How to punish? Is it murder? During the period of counter-revolutionary suppression, the Cheka killed many people. They were classified as counter-revolutionaries and traitors of the great motherland. They were either shot or exiled to Siberia to dig potatoes.
With the existence of these established facts, Yevlov had to think a lot, and asked weakly: "My dear comrade political commissar, it is probably the village chief Liguschkov who instructed his villagers to do this. You should
Aren't you going to punish him and then kick him into the river to feed the fish?"
"That's not the case." Yelentina regained her composure, "Anyway, they did something wrong, and someone must be punished. As for how to be punished? What do you think about letting them work voluntarily?"
She suddenly turned her head with a questioning look on her face and it was very beautiful. Yevlov immediately calmed down and even laughed out loud. "I thought you were going to shoot all these people who didn't obey the command. Fortunately, you are a very pragmatic person.
, these old guys are not people who have memorized the rules and regulations, they don’t even know anything about it. So there are reasons for making mistakes. For these people who make mistakes, I think the most important thing is to let them understand that what is happening here is military control.
The livelihood arrangements for the more than 10,000 people in the swamp are all the responsibility of the 284th Guards Division Headquarters."
Yelentina nodded: "That's what I mean. We will solve this matter tomorrow. I think you should go to the hospital with your clothes and see our deputy division commander. I will continue to supervise the soldiers moving supplies." (To be continued.)
