Ponomarenko had read the telegram from Salynchkin, and he was quite clear about the matters decided at their post-war meeting.
Belekov has a vision beyond ordinary people, he has great ability and is even more far-sighted.
When it comes to how to govern the country, Ponomarenko boasts that he has a set of methods. Various data prove that during his tenure as first secretary, Belarus developed very quickly after the civil war.
A new round of world war destroyed his hard work and millions of people became slaves.
The oppressed people must be liberated. Ponomarenko has such an obligation. He was surprised to find that he had the power to command the guerrilla movement. He was capable of just saving the Belarusian people. As long as the guerrilla movement flourishes, the guerrillas want to
If we find a way to relocate the people, they will not continue to be enslaved by the German army.
Since ancient times, Belarus has a vast territory and is sparsely populated, with all the people living in seclusion in the forest. The young people among them can attack the enemy mysteriously, which is theoretically possible.
The existence of guerrilla republics gives this strategy greater prospects for implementation.
No matter how serious their casualties were, the German losses were still huge. There was a place in southern Belarus that the German army had no time to care about, and Soviet rule could be restored there.
Salinchkin's telegram explained one thing that is really fresh in my memory.
"General Berekov, you have formulated a twelve-month strategy. Do you firmly believe that our army will counterattack Kiev in twelve months?"
"It seems that you have learned about our meeting report?"
"certainly."
"Yes." Yang Mingzhi answered resolutely, and briefly explained the reason for this inference. "We will liberate Kiev, and the main force will join forces with the Guerrilla Republic. The main force will follow the roads we have built in the swamps, and the tank troops can
Directly attack the direction of Minsk. I am not afraid of war by giving the 6th Army a twelve-month standstill. We must use one year to accumulate strength and then liberate Minsk in one fell swoop. Regarding this issue, I will never be modest. I
What I said was never a prediction, but a deduction based on the macro strategy, and it will definitely succeed."
"Great! What a great strategy, we must succeed."
Ponomarenko was so excited that he almost jumped up. After all, Belarus was a blessed place for his official career. After more than ten years of working in Belarus, he already regarded it as his second hometown.
Just on this issue, aren't he and Berekov the same? They are both foreigners, and their honor and status were obtained in Belarus.
So giving to people in suffering is of course to give them salvation and bring victory.
After these questions, Ponomarenko had to admit that his military command skills were indeed inferior to others. He said tentatively: "It seems that I should recommend you to the leader and make you the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla movement."
"No!" Yang Mingzhi flatly refused, "The leader has already decided to assign me to a certain arsenal."
"Continue to build weapons? Ha." Hearing this, Ponomarenko really wanted to laugh: "What a waste of talent! You can grow into an excellent strategist."
"I don't think so. The alliance has no shortage of strategists, and I, I can make a particularly outstanding contribution. Because of my understanding of the army, I think that the 6th Army before the Battle of Gomel, the core 84th Guards Division, and others
The combat effectiveness is already number one in the army.
I am definitely not bragging! Because the most basic soldiers in the army are veterans who have experienced many bloody battles, each with rich combat experience. The weapons and equipment of the soldiers are excellent. Each infantry squad not only has a machine gun, but also has at least six RPG warheads.
.Each platoon must have a recoilless rifle or mortar, and the infantry company is directly equipped with a 107 mm caliber rocket launcher with a range no less than a howitzer. Well, think about the result of a Katyusha directly shooting a Panzer IV tank.
As for the rocket launcher with a range of forty kilometers, its value is probably hard to estimate.
You have also commanded a regular group army. To be fair, have you ever seen such an armed force?"
"I've never seen that! It's crazy."
"So I'd better go to the rear! I've brought the weapons design bureau back. We will start a new business in the rear and try our best to produce all kinds of advanced weapons to help the army increase its combat effectiveness. Do you know how I view this world war?"
"have no idea."
"During World War I, a French general said that the victory of the war would depend on who first mounted a 75mm gun on a tracked tractor. Now it is World War II, and I, the lieutenant general, believe that the victory of the war will depend on who has more power.
Strong firepower.
Therefore, we must not only pursue artillery doctrine, but also work hard to increase the firepower of grassroots troops.
When I go to the rear, I may set off an innovation in military equipment. I already have more than twenty research and development plans for new weapons. As long as the country gives me space and sufficient resources, these plans will be quickly implemented and brought to the forefront quickly.
The army's combat power is doubled.
Not to mention, it’s just rocket launchers. With the alliance’s strong industrial productivity, rockets with a range of forty kilometers that can cover the sky will bring about a new situation on the battlefield.”
"Wonderful!"
Ponomarenko felt as if he had been beaten to death. Of course, Yang Mingzhi himself was extremely excited after saying so much. The two grown men seemed to be celebrating the victory in advance.
"It seems that you really should go to the rear. You will be the greatest military technical expert in the entire alliance, and the badges you obtain will surely cover your entire shirt."
"Armor made of medals?"
"Haha, your explanation is so appropriate."
"Oh, forget it." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand, "Let's do things pragmatically. By the way, the leader did give me a major promise."
"Speaking."
"One day, I will become the commander of the front. My troops will cross the bridge over the Dnieper River and be the first regular army to enter the Pripet Swamp. Because when I evacuated, I stood on the ladder of the plane and told everyone on the ground
The comrades at the airport promised that I would come back with the main force and rush towards Minsk with the 6th Army and all the militia like a battle axe."
This promise is full of poetic hospitality and infinite romance!
Yang Mingzhi and Ponomarenko talked happily, even past lunch time. They kept talking to each other, and finally Ponomarenko simply brought out a stool and sat in front of Yang Mingzhi. The two of them tapped their legs and ignored each other.
With my stomach growling, I continued to discuss military and national affairs.
The discussion between the two indeed produced significant results.
A year ago, Belarus was the first union republic to fall, and for a time Ponomarenko completely lost actual power.
At that time, not many people in the alliance were optimistic about the guerrilla movement. Military generals and even Stalin believed that although the guerrilla movement must be launched, the results achieved would be very limited.
When Stalin put Ponomarenko in charge of this task, he did have some intention of "dismissing" him.
As of now, it is true that no one else understands the development of the guerrilla movement across the league better than this one. So Yang Mingzhi just complained that this old guy has this shortcoming of eager for quick success. If he could become more resourceful, there would be no problem. Because
, it is true that no one can replace his job for the time being.
"Okay! Let's end it like this."
Due to the excitement, Ponomarenko's forehead was already wet. He had lost a lot of energy. It was time to end this meaningful and enlightening meeting.
"Then let's end it. I can still bear it, but I'm afraid my wife will be impatient."
While eating slices of bread, Star Tao was overjoyed to observe the conversation between the two men. She was not very hungry, and she listened with interest to the content of their conversation.
For a few hours, she felt like an outsider. Perhaps the comrade in chief would continue to ask himself many questions? He must have forgotten it.
Ponomarenko really didn't have time to ask Star Tao any more, otherwise it would be dark. He knew that General Berekov had finished his report and had to continue working with his comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To be honest, the meeting should have ended at noon, and now it was already dark.
It's two o'clock in the afternoon.
The lengthy meeting made the commander-in-chief gain a lot. Not only did he understand a new set of tactics, the so-called special "tactics of luring the enemy into deep annihilation", he also had a straightforward understanding of the great impact of excellent ordnance on the combat effectiveness of soldiers. The so-called
Brave troops equipped with the best weapons, one plus one equals ten.
"It's not too late now. You have a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so you should have plenty of time."
Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch and was a little worried: "The days are getting shorter and shorter now, and it will get dark in a few hours. My time is a little tight, and maybe the shopping arrangements can only be slowed down."
"I'm... I'm really sorry. You mentioned shopping. I would like to ask, what do you need? I will try my best to help." Ponomarenko was very happy to help his friend, "Do you still smoke? I have a spare pipe.
, I’ll give it to you.”
"It's better to forget it. I heard that a husband's smoking will harm his pregnant wife. You should know about my wife's condition, so forget it. If..."
Yang Mingzhi thought about it. When he was shopping in Moscow, what he needed most was some clothes and bedding. From his perspective of the first century, shopping on the streets was like searching for treasures, because it was an era dominated by consumerism, and human beings were super strong.
Relying on powerful productivity, imagination creates a wide variety of products.
Some of those products are economical and practical, while others are really imaginative and flashy.
This is not the case in the Soviet Union in this era. The important soil for the existence of consumerism is the great abundance of materials. Even if there is no war, the Soviet Union's material supply is tight. Because all kinds of materials are produced under the national plan, there is a lack of commodity competition, and naturally there is no
A wide range of product brands is needed.
Even in the future, Yang Mingzhi estimates that only state-owned stores in big cities will have a wide range of products.
Yang Mingzhi could understand that kind of scene, because the China where he was born, the thirty-year planned economy era was very similar to the Soviet Union at the same time. During that period, people in remote areas had just begun to have enough to eat, and only the capital had everything.
Material supply is stable.
So, in that dimension, the Pacific Command of the Soviet Union, a group of senior military officers traveled thousands of miles to Moscow for a meeting, bought goods like crazy, and finally crashed the plane.
If you want to buy the best products from the Soviet Union, you should go to Moscow.
"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, we and I are moving to a new home. I need some comfortable bedding and new clothes that fit me. I guess you can't provide these things."
"Indeed, you can't wear our old clothes."
"What about toiletries? For example, soap and toothpaste."
"These? I can provide them. I will give you as much as you want."
"Thank you so much."
"You must be polite. After all, we are equals. Let's go, my friends. I've left you hungry. Follow me to the restaurant."
…
Ponomarenko was very generous and gave Yang Mingzhi ten volumes of toothpaste.
Russians seem to have an extreme preference for big things. For example, Daliba bakes large loaves of bread with a diameter of 30 centimeters at a time, vodka or red wine, and they also like big bottles. With such an attitude towards food, the requirements for weapons are even more direct.
The so-called caliber is justice. Based on the principle of landing naval guns, the B4 and B5 heavy howitzers are the guns of heavy cruisers based on their caliber!
For the toothpaste he provided, Yang Mingzhi figured that if he brushed his teeth every day, he could use up one roll in a month.
The amount of soap provided is even more astonishing. The khaki-colored soap bars are quite heavy. They are loaded into an iron box. See the mark on the iron box. There are twenty pieces inside, each weighing half a kilogram.
There is a saying that soil soap consumes more slowly. Yang Mingzhi estimates that you will be bathing every day with this box of soap. By the time you use it up, the whole of Belarus will be liberated.
Ponomarenko's gifts were not limited to these. Because Yang Mingzhi was Chinese, in order to enhance the relationship, four blue and white porcelain plates and two white porcelain bowls were also included in the gift list.
They gave away hygiene products such as towels and soap. Yang Mingzhi was not curious at all. They actually gave away porcelain and where the porcelain came from.
Ponomarenko's explanation is also very simple: "The building I am in was one of the post office buildings during the Tsarist Russia era. You should know that Chinese porcelain has always been very popular in Europe, and powerful people in most countries have
We are happy to collect them. Now that the Soviets have taken control of the entire alliance, the materials left over from Tsarist Russia can naturally be used by us."
"Well, I really appreciate your gift."
Yang Mingzhi came empty-handed and left with a full load a few hours later. In other words, soap and toothpaste were specially supplied to official agencies. After all, Stalin needed a team of efficient and loyal cadres. No matter how tight the supplies were, he could not
You can't hurt your own people.
He accepted Ponomarenko's gift in full. Anyway, the trunk of the car could still be loaded with things, so it had better be filled to the brim.
After all, they are old comrades who have been fighting together through electromagnetic waves for a whole year.
Yang Mingzhi left the building, and Ponomarenko, who was neatly dressed and wearing all his medals, walked to the gate with a pipe in his mouth.
"You go back." After placing his wife in the car first, Yang Mingzhi shook hands deeply with the pipe-smoking guy, "I will retreat to the rear now, and you must take good command of the guerrilla brigades in the future. I don't have
I have more to say, I just hope you can make the wisest decisions so that the guerrilla movement can flourish. When the big counteroffensive begins, these guerrilla fighters transform into regular armies."
"I will. It's a pity that none of my staff members are as smart as you. I'm also very happy that you will make great achievements. You will make the 10 million troops have stronger combat effectiveness. I look forward to you, with my chest
Holds the third Gold Star Medal."
"Thank you, it will eventually come true. I just hope that on the day of victory, my medal will not be too heavy. We can be considered close comrades-in-arms. Although I no longer have military power, I am still qualified as a staff officer. In the days to come,
I must be working in the rear. If you have any questions about the guerrilla movement, I will be happy to help you. Of course, if there is information related to the guerrilla republic, you must inform me."
