It's really funny, I still think this is civil aviation!" Yang Mingzhi shook his head and told his wife: "My dear, take your bag, pick up the wooden box and let's go!"
The plane came to a complete stop, the heavy door was opened, and everyone in the cabin stood up.
The long and tense flight was finally over. The fleet had just flown over a war zone filled with artillery fire. Now it should have arrived at an airport in Tula City? It was almost a safe place, and everyone was relieved.
All ten planes stopped, and the ground staff who had been waiting for a long time at the airport ran nervously to each plane. Their task was to ensure that the landing aircraft was absolutely safe. There were even fire trucks speeding over to guard against possible fires.
Of course, it is not this group of ground staff who will actually pick up the passengers. The internal security troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will pick up those distinguished guests on the list, as well as hundreds of war orphans.
At the beginning of the war, there were still 300,000 elite troops in the Internal Guards. Among them, nearly 200,000 of the border guards suffered huge losses in the early days of the war. Many other more than 100,000 people participated in the 1941 Defense of Smolensk.
After the defeat, some of the troops served as Moscow's garrison.
The war has been going on for a full year, and all the former elite soldiers have turned into a few heroes on the Soviet land.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union was created by Dzerzhinsky. He implemented the "Soviet Orphan Mutual Assistance" policy, so that more than 100,000 border guards and soldiers were children from orphanages. In this way, Dzerzhinsky became the leader of all border guards.
Jun's father. It is for this reason that almost no one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' border guards surrendered.
For example, Yelentina is a female soldier in the border guard force of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is a miracle that she is alive!
Due to the tight war situation, it is impossible for the internal affairs troops to return to their pre-war size of more than 300,000 people. Due to the absolute lack of manpower, such troops can no longer perform their previous duties well.
Nowadays, a large number of personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are dispatched to the Don and Volga river basins, especially around Stalingrad. They follow Stalin's instructions and fulfill their responsibilities in normal history - to drive all deserters back to fight.
For the internal affairs troops still remaining in Moscow, their biggest task is to maintain public order. Of course, cleaning up construction debris, repairing bridges and roads, and fire sanitation are still their duties.
There were a wide variety of jobs they could hold, and rather than being the secret police of the Soviet Union, the secret police was just one of their jobs.
A group of people with blue hats came, wearing uniform gray woolen coats, rustling in the howling north wind.
The leader was very motivated and high-spirited. This group received Stalin's personal order and had only one mission - to transport several specially appointed guests to the Kremlin as quickly as possible.
Cold wind poured into the cabin, and people who had not yet disembarked from the plane began to shiver.
Yang Mingzhi regretted a little. Based on the experience of Belarus, he thought that Moscow would not be very cold at this time of year. He was totally wrong.
I had several strong sneezes before I even got off the plane. It seemed like this was a bad start?
Yang Mingzhi patted his wife on the shoulder: "My dear, are you cold?"
"Well, a little bit. I...I can bear it."
"Well, I hope we can use the heater after we get off the plane."
Yang Mingzhi was located closer to the cabin door. He didn't stay any longer and followed the stretched ladder to stand on the concrete floor in the north.
He didn't have to worry about the darkness of the night at all. All the searchlights and lamp posts in the cabin illuminated the planes clearly. Besides, there were people everywhere at the airport. Yang Mingzhi could see that some of them were enemy personnel inspecting the planes, and they even rushed over.
What's going on with the trucks?
With a trace of doubt, an uninvited guest suddenly called his name.
"General Berekov, where are you?"
"I'm here!" Yang Mingzhi responded subconsciously. He estimated that the speaker was the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel who were said to have picked up the plane, and by the way, he raised his right hand.
Then, in the dazzling light, he saw more than a dozen blue hats. It was obvious that they were the so-called responders.
What is coming will come, let's see what they will say?
Yang Mingzhi composed himself, flicked his neck to signal his wife to follow him, separated from the other people who got off the plane, and walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he didn't know the other party at all.
Isn't it the same situation?
Under the white light, their images were even more dazzling. They raised their hands one after another to experience it, and an indescribable sense of disharmony emerged in Yang Mingzhi's mind.
The leader seemed excited?
"You must be General Berekov. You are a Chinese. Seeing your face, I believe you are the one we have been waiting for for a long time!"
"Yes, I am Berekov. Peter Ivanovich Berekov. And my wife." Yang Mingzhi gently motioned to Yang Tao and asked him to step forward.
"Ah! It's you and your wife. Welcome to Tula Military Airport No. 5. I am Captain Semyon Ivanovich Larin from the Main Service of Border and Internal Security of the NKVD."
"Captain Larin. So, can I call you Captain Larin?"
"Yes, sir. The mission we received is to meet everyone on the list, especially you, Comrade General. We are ordered to escort you and your wife to Moscow in the shortest possible time."
Yang Mingzhi nodded gently: "I already basically know your mission, and I will fully cooperate. However, maybe you should take a look at my military ID card first. Even if I live in the swamp, my ID card is still well preserved.
."
Captain Larin shook his head: "No need for the moment, you are exactly the same as the photo on the ID. I have the ability to never forget the person's appearance after seeing the photo. Even if ten years have passed, I can still identify him."
Hearing what he said, Yang Mingzhi was shocked. Then he thought about it. It seemed that this guy had received a direct order from Stalin. He was almost an "imperial envoy". It was obvious that he must have many abilities that were noticed by Stalin and Beria.
middle.
That's right! This kind of person has the ability to remember things. He is exactly the type of person to be a spy, and he is exactly the type of person that the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to focus on cultivating.
Maybe he took over this task just for gold plating?
Yang Mingzhi touched the badly damaged military ID card in his pocket, but did not take it out after all.
He suddenly asked one more question out of nowhere: "Comrade, why...why did the Ministry of Internal Affairs send someone to receive me? Is it just because Comrade Stalin gave the order?"
"It's not just that." Captain Larin's expression became intriguing, as if it contained surprise.
"What else?" Yang Mingzhi asked.
"What else is there? The 84th Guards Division you are in is itself a force of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Maybe you have never noticed this, but legally the 84th Guards Division is a force established with the participation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, it is only legally
.After all, the situation of the 84th Guards Division and the 6th Army is too special."
After hearing this, Yang Mingzhi suddenly understood. "Haha, we are comrades in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"That's...theoretically true."
Nowadays, there are many troops that legally belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The 84th Guards Division has achieved more results than some group armies. Moreover, the 6th Group Army is almost an expanded version of the 84th Guards Division. The troops have achieved terrifying results. Everything
Everything is the man standing in front of him - General Berekov.
Captain Larin was full of awe for this strong man, not to mention that he was older than him. However, from this brief contact, Larin could tell with his keen eyes that the general was only thirty years old and his face was
There is no trace of vicissitudes of life, but he has a temperament that only a veteran who has experienced battles can reveal. It is a kind of self-confidence as a general, and an indescribable aggressiveness, but it is not intimidating at all.
"Join me and I will go to the battlefield. I will become this general's subordinate and I will always win." Looking at the row of medals on Yang Mingzhi's chest, Captain Lalin admired him again.
The process of history has undergone some changes, and a small part of these changes are biased towards the historical process that should have been.
In this time and space, the 84th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army was resurrected in the swamp as a remnant. After basically regaining its strength, it acquired the legal status of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In the original out of control, the infantry division with this number was a division expanded from the internal affairs forces in Siberia, and bore the title of NKVD. This type of infantry division was completely different from the internal security forces at the beginning of the war.
A concept, just because the remaining troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are basically veterans, the new force with these people as its core components is considered to have strong combat effectiveness.
Beria even believes that by giving such troops the title of Ministry of Internal Affairs, every soldier can receive strong spiritual encouragement, and high morale is combat effectiveness.
Of course, for a person who has never fought in a war and is obsessed with political work, he thinks this is reasonable.
The original historical designation was the NKVD84 Division and nine other infantry divisions with NKVD titles, which belonged to the 6th Army. Under the leadership of Chuikov, the Army defended Stalingrad to the death!
In this time and space, Chuikov was transferred from the 64th Army to the 6th Army at the end of August, replacing General Parotin, who was not good at defending the city, as commander. He swore to Stalin: "I will insist on guarding Stalingrad unless all our troops
The army was killed in battle."
The so-called "bringing together the raging beasts" meant that in the fierce street fighting on the first day, the Soviet army planned to annihilate two German regiments. Although this resulted in crazy bombing by the German army later, the 6th Army suffered heavy casualties and no one dared to retreat.
However, the 84th Infantry Division in this time and space is not within the battle order of the 6th Army. The division has obtained the titles of Guards and Red Flag. They belong to the resurrected 6th Army. After the Battle of Gomel that lasted for more than January, the 6th Army
The group army and its core NKVD Guards Red Banner Division 84 proved to the people of the entire alliance that the guerrillas had the ability to launch campaigns, and they also achieved great success!
If there is any similarity between the historical processes of the two planes, it is that the 84th Infantry Division is a de jure force of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Captain Larin's trip had two purposes. One was to escort the general and his wife and the Speroskina siblings to Moscow, and the other was to announce their respective destinations to everyone on the list.
As for the hundreds of war orphans, the captain was filled with joy, especially the boys and some of the girls. Perhaps more than ten years later, they will become recruits of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ border guards, and they may also become a new force in the construction of the motherland. The children
They were permanently separated from the war zone, and they were received by specialized agencies. Captain Larin was completely assured that he only had to do his job in accordance with the tasks of his superiors.
The north wind was still blowing throughout the airport. Captain Larin greeted everyone on the list and led everyone to a large, brightly lit warehouse next to the airport.
Military Airport No. 5 has a fighter aviation regiment stationed here, and it is also the temporary base of Gorizodubova's headquarters. If necessary, Airport No. 5 can also take off and land bombers.
For this reason, a large amount of military supplies are stored in warehouses around the airport. Especially in September, the Russian winter is approaching, and the soldiers fighting on the front line will consume a lot of special supplies, such as those in iron barrels.
Spirits. Through airdrops, many special supplies can be quickly delivered to frontline soldiers.
Of course, the most stockpiled items in the warehouse are machine gun bullets and aircraft artillery shells that are supplied to fighter jets for combat.
This warehouse has a tall dome and a large number of electric lights hung on the walls on both sides. Yang Mingzhi felt familiar.
It really looks like a factory building. It would be wonderful if there were some industrial processing lathes here.
Yang Mingzhi suddenly felt in a trance, as if he had a great fate with this place.
He looked left and right, and due to his short-sightedness, he couldn't see clearly the letters marked on the wooden boxes stacked nearby. After thinking for a moment, he thought that the weapons and ammunition stacked there should be weapons and ammunition! Because when the transport plane landed, through the porthole, Yang Mingzhi saw
Not far away, there were a large number of neatly arranged fighter jets. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be La-5s, and maybe Ilhel.
"Haha, I'm in an ammunition warehouse now? I thought you could provide me with a private room."
It was already midnight, and September 2nd had arrived. A cold wind blew outdoors, and the embarrassed people were dazzled by the cold. It was the same for Yang Mingzhi and Yang Tao. Naihe entered the warehouse that was protected from wind and rain. After the temperature rose, this
My body started to feel lazy again.
Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi thought of a question he had never considered - I want to see Stalin, and I must be in good spirits before meeting him, but where can I sleep? The airport can also provide a room with heating or a fireplace for our couple.
Elegant room?
Who knows, let’s see what Captain Larin says.
Yang Mingzhi, like everyone else, looked at the dozen or so comrades wearing blue hats in front of him with piercing eyes, but the fatigue in his body was clearly revealed.
Captain Larin cleared his throat. He didn't have much time to waste time here.
"Comrades who have returned victoriously from the Guerrilla Republic, welcome to your safe landing. You are all the elites that the alliance urgently needs. No one of you can contribute more than ordinary people to this great Patriotic War and to our motherland.
Therefore, the country has completely different arrangements for everyone on the list. Please be patient..."
While talking, Captain Larin took out a document from Li's pocket and showed it to everyone.
Looking at this document, because the light is relatively dim, the densely printed Russian text cannot be seen clearly. However, the document has an official signature, and there are some signatures at the bottom.
There is only one signature that stands out—Joseph Stalin (to be continued)
