After a whole day of rest, the people felt very refreshed after the battle.
Yang Mingzhi returned to his residence very late. He had a headache and had to continue lying on the bed. This made the two girls very worried. In Yang Mingzhi's view, these two girls were taking care of him like two little nurses.
"It's okay for you men to drink. If you drink too much, you'll get sick. Look, it will give you a headache." Star Tao complained while twisting the wet towel.
Yang Mingzhi smiled as she put a towel on his face and wiped it. The two girls also took off their coats and then lay flat on the bed.
After finishing this, Yang Tao looked at his watch: "It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and the cafeteria has already opened. Brother, just lie down and don't move around. Natasha and I will get you some food."
"Okay. Go and come back quickly."
Being served by someone makes me feel really happy.
Christmas in the Russian calendar and New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar are coming soon. After the New Year, she will officially become an adult at the age of eighteen. However, according to the regulations of the Republic of China, boys and girls become adults at the age of twenty. Forget it, not much
I thought about it. I was lucky enough to meet such a caring girl as my wife. It was a wonderful comfort in the war years. Yang Mingzhi yawned, which soon turned into snoring.
As for the other few people, they were real old guys. They didn't have fun after drinking, so they were hungover, and they simply sobered up.
"Sin! Sin! If you continue to be drunk, tomorrow's departure will be affected!" Lavrenti blamed himself.
He and the other two guys were all of the same virtue. The three of them had headaches, so they helped each other and left, returned to their homes, and fell asleep.
However, after a good sleep, all the "drunkards" were resurrected with full health. They could continue to dance and jump around, which was completely different from yesterday's situation of a puddle of mud.
The morning bugle sounded at five o'clock in the morning, for no other reason than that the troops had to set off earlier.
Yang Mingzhi ate the bread and milk his wife brought back, and then continued to sleep. He slept until just now.
Before the morning cruise, he had already woken up. After lighting the kerosene lamp, he was pleased to see that all the luggage had been packed by the two girls. Including the firearms, they were all wiped and well maintained.
Carambola and Natasha were awakened by the sound of the trumpet.
"Oh, it's coming out today, so I have to get up quickly!"
The girls are all soldiers too. This morning bugle is not yet the rallying call, but that one will be blown soon.
The two of them sat up like springs. They both had their heads hanging, one was golden and the other was black, and they were yawning involuntarily.
"Hurry up and get dressed. We have to leave early today! Don't take your time, or you will catch a cold."
Yang Tao hummed, and the two of them were like soldiers ordered to assemble urgently, changing their clothes three times.
Yang Tao and Natasha have never had their hair trimmed in months. So Yang Mingzhi likes the long and fluttery appearance very much, but this kind of shape will have some disadvantages in war.
The two also wanted to help each other tie their hair into a ponytail, but Yang Mingzhi refused. "You two can tie your hair up with a hair tie or tie it into a ponytail. A change of style will also make me feel fresher."
The girls smiled.
When the three of them left the room, it was the coldest moment of the day outside.
"The winter solstice has passed quietly, and then there will be nine cold days." Yang Mingzhi said to himself, because the coldest season is coming. "Let's go, girls, go to the cafeteria and order something to eat!"
The other soldiers had already had orders to get up and go straight to the canteen. Then they went back and took all their equipment with them, ready to march at any time.
Yang Mingzhi led the girls to the canteen, where he saw Lavrenti and other officers under his command. They gathered around an ordinary table, eating bread with sauerkraut and cheese, and of course a pot of hot mutton soup.
After receiving breakfast, Yang Mingzhi looked at these people and couldn't help complaining: "It would be better for us to drink less in the future. We were supposed to meet the messenger in the afternoon, but we were all drunk."
"Yes. It's really terrible, but if I don't drink, I feel itchy!" Lavrenti felt conflicted.
"Yes, even now I want to have another drink." Yevgeny agreed.
These two guys are worthy of being Russians, and their nature is hard to change. Yang Mingzhi shook his head seriously: "Today we are setting off, and we have to walk back with two legs. You'd better not drink a drop of wine. I don't want you to turn into human bodies."
The sled, tied with ropes, slid across the ice and was dragged back."
"Hahaha! Sir, you are really good at joking." Yevgeny said: "But when we left the dinner table yesterday, Womansky made a promise to us. We basically didn't have to walk on our return trip because he prepared a lot of horse-drawn sleighs.
"
"Oh? Is there still this arrangement?" Yang Mingzhi's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it's not just the sled." Lavrenti continued, "There are also some war horses and some supplies. There are more than a dozen cowhide and sheepskin, and more than two hundred hare and marmot skins. The leather can
To make clothes, this needs to be completed at the Catfish Village collective farm."
Lavrenti simply made a list of the items to be delivered, including all kinds of food, clothing, and supplies.
"That's great. If you can sit, don't stand. If you can lie down, don't sit. We have a sleigh, so we don't have to walk!" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but look at the two girls. "How about you two ride a big horse then?
good?"
"OK!"
…
The assembly horn sounded at seven o'clock in the morning, and all the soldiers gathered with equipment of all sizes.
At dawn, a large number of officers and soldiers stood neatly in the square of the collective farm. On the outside of the square, there was a group of villagers holding baskets watching the excitement. It was not difficult to see that they planned to give their bread and other things to the soldiers.
Each of these soldiers wore steel helmets and carried bags on their backs. Engineer shovels, daggers, spears and water bottles were hung on their waists. Armed belts were wrapped around their bodies, and firearms were hung around their necks.
This is a group of war-experienced troops. Each of them does not have the childishness of a new recruit. Their eyes have the look of someone who has killed others, which is complicated and difficult to understand.
"Everyone stand at attention! Turn left! Walk together!"
Under Yang Mingzhi's order, the soldiers began to advance. On the way out of the village, they accepted gifts from the villagers. The pieces of bread and yogurt they received were stuffed into their pockets.
The entire army also took away all the wounded, because only the hospital in Catfish Village could receive the best treatment. The number of the team exceeded a thousand, and when they had just left the village chief, they met Womansky.
When Yang Mingzhi saw the bearded village chief, he was immediately happy, because this guy actually wore a Budyonni military cap. The tall cloth spire was very unique, and the huge red star was particularly obvious.
He even rode on a big horse and wore an old military uniform.
Yang Mingzhi stood under him and asked happily: "My comrade village chief, your outfit seems to have returned to 192o. Why, are you determined to build a cavalry unit now?"
"Дa! Isn't it very important for us to establish a dragoon unit, which is what you call dismounted infantry, to fight with mobility and flexibility?"
"That's right! It's very important. When you succeed, our army will have infantry, air force, armor, artillery, and an additional cavalry. Our 284th Division has a complex structure. Our division is more like a group army. A group army has
We all have it, just on a much smaller scale.”
Suddenly, Warmansky was happy: "It seems that Comrade Deputy Division Commander has a bigger dream! This is great. Look, the sleds and horses are ready. My militia will guide you forward. My people are all
He is very good at training horses, so you don’t have to worry at all.”
The sleds he prepared were large and numerous. Each sled was pulled by three horses and could seat twenty people. This was a tall team of 200 horses, and the entire army would return leisurely to their departure.
A long-standing military camp.
Before leaving, Warmansky insisted that Yang Ming stay put.
"What? What else does the village require?"
"There is a gift for you at the single door!" He clapped his hands, and a militiaman came over carrying a small wooden box. Womansky opened the box and said: "This is another of my military caps, and a Cossack army."
I'll give it to you, comrade."
A Budyonian military cap and a patterned dagger. Yang Mingzhi accepted this gift with a smile.
"I understand what the village chief means, and I strongly support the establishment of cavalry. This is very consistent with the essentials of guerrilla warfare. When the enemy invades, our tank and cavalry combination can easily get behind the enemy and give them a fatal blow.
Attack." Yang Mingzhi had just finished saying this when he suddenly realized that the Soviet Union's later mechanized cavalry brigade was just such a combination? The combination of half a million cavalry and T3485 was incredibly maneuverable!
With the deputy division commander's promise, Warmansky can start new and bold things.
The team left today, and only Balzen and his soldiers remained here.
"Goodbye, deputy division commander. I will implement your order. My people will advance to Homnich again and clean up the battlefield with the militiamen." Balzen gave a final military salute.
"Excellent! Go out immediately. Warn your soldiers to remember the enemy's counterattack and bring enough weapons and ammunition!"
In the end, Yang Mingzhi rode a tall horse with his wife sitting in front of him. The whole army came out and slowly disappeared on the road in the forest. (To be continued.) 8
