Yang Mingzhi still remembered that the people who retreated early during the operation first arrived at Heitu Village. √ Yesterday, he also found some traces, but it was only a few days later and they seemed to have all left.
There are still many injured people in the hospital in Heitu Village. Most of them are seriously injured. They must be worried that their injuries will worsen due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, so they stay here.
There are already enough doctors and nurses here (with average technical skills), and there is no need for Yang Guo to go into battle himself.
The garrison in Heitu Village are all militiamen, and many of them are from the village. This collective farm has the smallest number of residents, but it raises a lot of livestock. Before winter, they had stored a large amount of fodder, and now the entire village has 1,500 livestock.
There were one hundred sheep, eight hundred cattle, and more than eight hundred horses.
Yang Mingzhi came to the office of the collective farm committee, which is what the Chinese define as a village committee. In the conference room, Village Chief Warmansky and the militia captain were both here.
The conference room is still the same as before, with a large table and a few seats. This is no different from yesterday. The floor is very clean, and there are portraits of Marx and Lenin on the walls, as well as several red slogans in Russian.
Yang Mingzhi said straight to the point: "I remember that some troops arrived here a few days ago. It seems that they did not stay here and all left?"
"Yes, not only did they come, but they came in four batches," the village chief said.
"Oh? Four batches, please tell me which three batches they are?"
"The first batch is the wounded soldiers who were pulled off after the attack on Homnich, as well as some rescued citizens. The second batch, there are too many people, is the Red Army soldiers you rescued, and some German prisoners.
The third group is still a group of German military doctors and nurses you captured. The fourth group, they left just before you, are Rosakov's troops who withdrew from Homnich."
Warmansky listed it out and couldn't help but sigh, "There are too many people passing through my village these days! The first group was more than 200 people, the second group was nearly 3,500 people, the third group was 100 people, and the third group was about 100 people.
Four batches of 1,500 people. Of course, this is a rough estimate because time is very tight and most people just rested for the night and went their separate ways."
"So, not counting us, more than 5,000 people have passed through your village?"
Warmansky looked embarrassed and said: "Exactly, including you, there will be more than six thousand people. Although it is not respectful to say so, so many people and so many appetites passed by, the warehouse in my village is almost empty. So.
The division headquarters must provide us with supplements, otherwise if you carry out large-scale operations again and pass through our village, we will not even have the salt and bread to greet our friends."
Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead: "Oh, I didn't think carefully enough about this matter. Black Earth Village is the closest to the front line, and the troops must pass here first after retreating! So, where did they go after they came?"
"All the captured German prisoners of war were escorted to the large military camp in Catfish Village. The more than 2,000 rescued Red Army soldiers were all asked to go to Blacksmith Village because there were enough newly built barracks there for use. The other soldiers went back to their homes.
"
"Very good, you did very well, and I also understand the situation you encountered. Now let's start making a new plan."
Going to Homnage to demolish the house became necessary.
When the three of them were discussing, they thought about it for a while. Because it was a Soviet city, its urban area was very small, but the buildings were not low. Most of the buildings in the city were three-story. In reality, most of them were destroyed by the war.
.Houses collapsed, a large amount of steel bars were suddenly exposed, and outside the city, it was a frozen battlefield.
"It's said that we are looking for metal to make weapons. So Roshakov, who just returned from the division, told me some information. Maybe Comrade Deputy Division Commander is interested." Womansky said intriguingly.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"It was the enemy's artillery, but they were all destroyed by our soldiers. Roshakov said that during the sneak attack at night, the barrel of the enemy's artillery was blown up by our troops. As a result, the enemy opened fire with heavy artillery, and the entire artillery position was destroyed.
They abandoned all their heavy artillery. In addition, the enemy's field artillery was too close to the front line and was covered by our army's large-caliber mortar fire, and all were destroyed. Not to mention the dozens of half-track armored vehicles that were destroyed by our army. I think
When I saw some scrap metal being pulled on their sled, Roshakov told me that they were parts removed from enemy vehicles and could be smelted into a large number of grenade shells.
So, in fact, there was not only a lot of scrap metal on that battlefield, but also ammunition scattered by the enemy."
Yang Mingzhi suddenly stood up and said to himself excitedly. "That Yevlov has finally become smarter now. We must get this pile of junk back!"
Because, Yang Mingzhi simply changed his mind. After fighting against this person, he was simply playing the game "Fallout". After fighting, he just picked up rags and turned them into useful things.
"It seems that I have to arrange for the regular troops to stay in Black Earth Village for the time being, and the militia troops to go to Homnich as engineers."
"This is great! I support it!" the militia captain stood up.
He claimed to be named Satoyama. As the captain, he commanded a company. In fact, there should be more militiamen here. Due to the needs of the war, many militiamen were brought to Catfish Village for emergency training in preparation for the expansion of the battle, and were urgently transported.
battlefield.
"Very good, Comrade Satoyama, we will arrange everything in a while. You can quickly gather your people and prepare the necessary labor tools and wait for our dispatch." Yang Mingzhi said.
In his view, this was a very formal task. The excited Ryoyama immediately stood up and saluted with a military salute. In response, Yang Mingzhi immediately stood up and extended his right hand with a sullen face in return.
"Okay, okay, you are soldiers, we are not having a military meeting." Warmansky smiled, his beard trembling. He waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit down and continue talking.
"So Comrade Deputy Division Commander organized troops to collect metals. I believe we will find a lot of usable things during the operation. Maybe we can also find some usable furniture. We are still too short of all kinds of daily necessities here. So we must
A large number of horses and sleds were dispatched to pull back all kinds of goods. Now we have 820 horses here, most of which were brought back by Comrade Roshakov. As you know, the German army transported heavy artillery and artillery shells.
They rely heavily on military horses. Many of the horses they left behind were captured by our army, and we can still use them now."
Military horses were a windfall. Yang Mingzhi had never imagined that he could get so many high-quality military horses. He couldn't help but think a lot: "I heard that Marshal Budyonny was still very stubborn in claiming that the sabers of our Soviet Red Army can be cut down."
The brains of the Germans. Even though times have changed, the cavalry is still an elite force."
Warmansky shook his head: "Actually, I was a cavalryman twenty years ago, wearing a pointed Budyon cap with a big red star. It was still a civil war at that time, and I was just an ordinary soldier. With all due respect, a cavalryman
The era has really passed. Unless the cavalry is replaced with steel plates, like tanks, they will not be easily killed."
Yang Mingzhi shook his finger. "Comrade, the cavalry at least has the ability to maneuver, and the horses have extremely powerful carrying capabilities. For our 284th Division, mobility is very important. I think we can form a small cavalry unit.
They are not used to carry sabers and cavalry guns to kill, but fight as dismounted infantry, and when marching, they ride horses to maneuver flexibly."
This is an outlook. Warmansky couldn't help stroking his beard. "Comrade Berekov, what you said is very constructive. Maybe we can try it. Don't look at an old man like me, I can still ride a horse."
!Since you have approved it, I can work hard to train a cavalry unit to complete the mobile surprise attack you mentioned."
"It's all your fault." Yang Mingzhi stood up again and gave a military salute.
"Hahaha, the deputy division commander is very respectful. In this case..." Womansky stood up, listening to his fat body that was disarmed and returned to the field, and returned the military salute: "I was a Red Army soldier, now it is better to train the cavalry unit
Okay. Now, does the deputy division commander have any other requirements?"
"No more. The messenger sent by Yevlov should arrive in the afternoon. After reading the letter, I have to make new plans for my subordinates. After all, the situation has changed, and some of them have to change.
Become an engineer and go to Homnage to clean up the battlefield again."
"Okay! Comrade Deputy Division Commander. This is your arrangement for today. Then we, as landlords, should also reward our heroic troops today, you and your soldiers. Today we slaughtered more than a dozen sheep.
And a cow, every soldier can drink a bowl of beef and mutton soup. This can be regarded as a reward for everyone. And you have a roasted whole lamb."
"Oh? Roast a whole lamb?! What a luxury this is." Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but sigh, but he was full of expectations.
"This is not a luxury. The sheep are just starting to roast now, just wait. You are the key to our victory, and you deserve a reward!"
It would be wrong to be so humble. Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Great. Since it is a reward, I have to call my two battalion commanders and my heroic reconnaissance company commander, and of course our military doctor.
Besika, who is also a sniper, is my wife, and our sniper hero Natasha, as well as your comrade the village chief, and you, the militia captain Comrade Satoyama. I like to share with everyone, do you understand?
?”
"I understand, I understand, if there are still those two girls, I should prepare some hot beef and yogurt. That's it." Warmansky said. (To be continued.) 8
