The current strength of the 284th Guards Division is more than 5,000. Including the vast number of civilians, the total population under control is as high as 13,000.?＜?＜ (This is a huge appetite, and most people only live on potatoes.
However, food such as potatoes must be stored in a relatively dry place, and special attention must be paid not to let it come into contact with soil. Because potatoes are roots of plants, they cannot be eaten once they continue to grow and turn green, because the solanine produced can even
Take people's lives.
So how to store these foods has become a top priority.
There were several heavy rains in September, and the rain came and went away quickly. After entering October, people began to worry that the rainy season was really coming.
Fomin knows the customs and customs of Ukraine very well. Pripet Swamp is located on the border of Ukraine, and the climate here is also very Ukrainian. He is more anxious than Yang Mingzhi. Once the rainy season comes, it often rains for several days.
He felt that it was very correct to move the base camp. The terrain of Blacksmith Village was higher, unlike Catfish Village. The move had to be done slowly. The final relocation of the division headquarters might be slower because the barracks had to be built in advance.
After the heavy rain, the swamp became muddy, the original small pond turned into a large pond, the river water surged, and catfish were scurrying everywhere. It is already October, and most fish such as catfish will stay dormant in winter, so people still rely on potatoes.
The climate has turned cooler, autumn has descended on the earth, the bushes have begun to wither, and most trees have begun to lose their leaves.
In the past few days, Yang Mingzhi has left all the artillery manufacturing work to Liguschkov, and he has been free. As a leader, he knows that he does not need to do everything himself. The soldiers and militiamen have their own tasks.
As for its duties, the Soviets of the collective farms have long since been restored, and the peasants have tasks every day and will not have any leisure time.
Now some soldiers are excavating the earth to build multiple warehouses on the earth slope. This should be a big project.
Yang Mingzhi decided to visit it in person, and then learned that the slope was three kilometers away from the village. Before that, he had to discuss various matters with his colleagues, and the meeting began.
"That place is far away from the village! If we build a warehouse there, we might as well build a new settlement there." Yang Mingzhi put forward his opinion at a very simple meeting.
"If that's what you mean, it's not impossible." Yevlov said casually. According to what he and Fomin said, the top priority now is to build a warehouse and store a large amount of potatoes.
Digging a cave on a soil slope is like digging a bomb shelter or a mine. The cave has constant temperature and humidity. If it rains heavily outside, as long as you do a good job of waterproofing, there will be no serious problems.
Yang Mingzhi needed specific geographical information about that slope, and Fuming pulled out a map as if by magic. "This is a map drawn by the former village chief Liguschkov, and contour lines were also drawn in accordance with the requirements of the army.
"Fuming spread the map on the conference table and pointed to the circled area. "This triangular-like area is the slope, or hill. The geographical conditions in this area are also relatively superior, unlike Catfish Village.
There are a lot of mud ponds there, and it’s all forest plains.”
"Oh?! It's all plains!" Yang Mingzhi was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Isn't this God blessing us? The terrain is higher and it's all plains, with a lot of forest vegetation. This is the best choice, and we will put our future
The base camp has been moved here.”
"Are you serious?" Seeing this man's decisive attitude, Yevlov couldn't help but sweat, "Why don't we wait for Yelentina to come back and then listen to her opinion."
"I don't think so. Kavitsky!"
"Yes!" The new village chief raised his hand. He had been listening during the meeting and now he received a new order.
"You must build a large number of houses. I have decided where to place your home in the future. You must build a large number of barracks. We will leave enough troops stationed and supporting facilities must be built. We will use that hill as the center.
When a warehouse area is established, heavy troops must be left behind for defense."
When Yang Mingzhi said this, Yevlov immediately felt that it was very reasonable. As a division commander, he was promoted from the front line. The reason why he took this position was largely because the top military officials wanted to ensure that this unit was legally an orthodox Soviet soldier.
Supreme Commander Berekov has already been investigated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found out that a Chinese from across the Amur River was actually his comrade in terms of faith.
Yevlov knew what he was doing, and he fully agreed with Berekov's decision today. Since the commander and deputy division commanders both had this intention, Fomin also agreed.
"Okay, the leadership of our army is the group of four." Yang Mingzhi mentioned the new vocabulary. He, Yevlov, Fomin and Yelentina are the top leaders of the entire group, forming the "four
People's Group". "Three of the four of us have already agreed with my decision. Yelentina represents the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and she should also be very supportive. We will start working on it immediately."
Kavitsky's task was to mobilize the masses. Soon after Yang Mingzhi and others went to inspect the construction of the warehouse, a large number of villagers were mobilized to build the warehouse, especially a large number of women. The men mainly became soldiers, and the women became construction workers.
The three-kilometer journey was not far, and Yang Mingzhi and others walked there.
The construction there has just begun, and everyone will wait and see what big results will be achieved. So Yang Mingzhi was very happy, and for a moment he forgot that he was still injured. After training to the point where his injuries can no longer stop his passionate heart, this time he still has his wife.
With this little nurse accompanying you, you don’t have to worry about your health at all.
"We will test the cannon after the production of the artillery is completed. After that, my injuries will be almost no problem. You don't have to take care of me all the time. As a sniper, you must put in training. Otherwise, you will be far behind Natasha." Walking in.
Halfway through, Yang Mingzhi planned the future for his wife.
After the Battle of Kuta Town, the young Kharkiv experienced the most brutal battle he had ever known. This guy was not frightened. Instead, he learned about war during the war and quickly summarized his experience to educate his men - that group of
Young soldiers.
Natasha has become a hero in the hearts of the children because of her meritorious service. She is neither arrogant nor impetuous and knows that she should still achieve great things. She has been practicing her military skills hard these days.
In comparison, Carambola is a lot unfamiliar, and his military skills have stagnated. However, he has learned a lot of new knowledge in his medical skills, and even some new Latin vocabulary names for medicines.
Yang Tao nodded frequently after listening to her husband's words. She never wanted to be a man's vassal. As the daughter of a hunter, she knew the meaning of hard work, not to mention that her man just liked the way he studied hard.
Everyone walked through the forest trails and arrived at the slope dozens of minutes later, where they even saw the construction site.
There were about 200 people here, and everyone had tools in their hands.
"So many shovels, so many picks and axes, are they all newly manufactured in the blacksmith village?" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but ask the village chief Kavitsky.
"Yes, in addition to making arms, we also have to make farm tools. These shovels are very simple to make. The metal plate is stamped in one step." Kavitsky vividly described to Yang Mingzhi that the two of them were very knowledgeable about the processing of these tools.
common language.
There were more than 200 workers involved in digging the cave and building the warehouse. They were mainly militiamen and a small number of active soldiers.
Lao Maozi are often talented in construction. This is mainly due to the environment in which they live. People who live in the countryside have to build their own houses. They build traditional wood carvings - wooden buildings that are very cold-proof.
I saw many people digging soil on the hillside. The soil was put into baskets and transported to the carriage. All the earth and stone were gathered in one place.
Yang Mingzhi took a few steps forward with interest. It was obvious that these workers did not realize that a high-ranking official had arrived. He saw that some people were also logging and building houses not far from the slope. Kavitz heard that
As Key said, this is a warehouse built on the ground.
"After all, digging caves is not the only way to build a warehouse on the ground. On the contrary, it is easiest to build a warehouse on the ground. In order to prevent moisture and waterproofing, we adopted a new model by setting up wooden piles on the ground and nailing wooden floors. This way, the granary will be free from flooding."
Isn't Kavitsky talking about a fence-style building? Yang Mingzhi smiled and said nothing, thinking that he didn't have to show off the traditional houses in certain areas of China with this person. He, an old man, had come up with this kind of building for the first time. It was worth it.
Praise. "Well done comrade, there is likely to be continuous rain in the future. We have renovated the granary on a large scale. I don't want our flour and potatoes to rot."
"That's that. Commander and deputy division commanders, please wait a moment. I'll call the person in charge. You can ask for the specific construction here in person." After that, he ran away quickly.
After walking for a while, Yang Mingzhi felt a little tired, so he immediately found a felled tree trunk and sat down. His wife's small body leaned on him, and she also brought a small medical kit with her in case of emergencies.
"Berekov, what do you think?" Yevlov suddenly asked as he sat down.
"Excellent, look at our people, every one of them is dedicated to their work. This reflects the spirit of the Soviet Union. The Germans cannot defeat us at all."
Yevlov smiled sarcastically, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Actually, I'm very worried. I believe what you said is true. We will definitely win and the red flag will be planted in Berlin. But now, we have lost in Belarus and also in Ukraine. The enemy is attacking Bryansk and Sri Lanka.
Molensk, storm Odessa, they want to break into Moscow. We are lucky to survive, but unfortunately, we are on an isolated island, surrounded by Germans on all sides."
"So what? The swamp is a natural chasm. Besides, you and I are not cowards. You have also seen the current battle. The soldiers of our army are all very good soldiers. Under the leadership of excellent commanders, we will definitely win.
.”
"For example, you." Yevlov smiled.
Suddenly feeling flattered again, Yang Mingzhi felt very happy and became arrogant. "Yes, just like me. There was also the sacrificed Kilponos, who commanded the large corps to attack the German army.
The troops held him back hard, and if the enemy hadn't cut off his retreat, a steady stream of reinforcements would surely have been able to launch a strategic counterattack in Ukraine."
"But it's too late to say anything." Yevlov shook his head.
"It's not too late. I can say that the Soviet Union will not die. They will suffer a defeat in Moscow, just like Napoleon. As for the reason for the failure, this is a military matter, so I won't say more."
"Okay, it's up to you." Yevlov happily took out his cigarette case and handed one over, "Here you go, smoke one."
"No need, my wife is here. She said she coughs when she smells cigarette smoke."
Star Tao heard this and smiled, but suddenly, everyone heard a scream.
"What's going on!" Yang Mingzhi stood up immediately.
Yevlov's eyes were sharp. He saw a man covering his hand and screaming in pain. Several people had gathered around him, and a man holding a wooden hammer was stunned. "I think,
Some unlucky guy got his hand hit by a hammer."
"Yeah, dear, luckily you brought the medical kit. Follow me, let's go support our people." (To be continued.) 8
