The sun sets early in winter. Now is the winter season. The so-called five o'clock in the afternoon is actually around four o'clock.√
The noodles were cut quickly, and Yang Mingzhi did this himself. The two girls prepared the soup, and the finished product was a large pot of stewed noodles.
The place to eat was at home. Yang Mingzhi moved the bed to free up a large space.
Several handfuls of firewood have been filled in the fireplace, and the temperature in the room is gradually rising.
"Come! Now let me serve you some noodles."
Yang Mingzhi is like an elder. Apart from him, the other three people in this room are all minors.
Everyone gathered together to eat, and all they faced were children. The noodles were put into their own earthenware bowls, and they immediately started devouring them. After all, they had been eating bread and chewing bread crumbs for a long time. After returning to the military camp, they would still eat it in the future.
Lots of potatoes.
There are not many opportunities to eat special meals, so Natasha cherishes the whole process. More importantly, the whole process is touching. Because this officer, in her opinion, is already a relative of hers.
But Natasha is also a sister first. Even at the dinner table, she also cares about her younger brother Kostya.
Yang Mingzhi looked at them with joy and couldn't help but said: "1941 will pass soon. Children, after this year, you will be one year older."
This was also said to himself. He traveled back to this era in 194o. At that time, he was 28 years old and not yet married. In the original plane, talents like Yang Mingzhi had almost no time to get married because of the need for study.
of.
By accident, I found myself in this new era. I was already married. What’s even more crazy is that my wife was still a minor. This would have been a crime in that era. But what? The world is really amazing. When people reach their thirties, they usually become three.
He had children at the age of ten, but his mentality was that of a forty-year-old. The three children in front of him, especially the two girls, were not only his wives, but also his subordinates. At this moment, he understood again
The value of comrades-in-arms.
Starfruit swallowed the noodles and looked at her husband.
"Brother! My birthday is in April, but I'm already ten years old. I don't know what my husband thinks of it. In our hometown, isn't it said that if a girl doesn't get married until she turns eighteen, she will be an old maid?"
"Huh? So it turns out that people in your country get married very early?" Natasha asked curiously, "In the Soviet Union, the legal age of majority for boys and girls is eighteen." In fact, Natasha was not satisfied with the officer's decision.
I have always been curious about the couple, because Besica was only seventeen years old, and they were already married, and they even had physical contact, but the timing was good and they did not give birth to life.
Having said this, Yang Tao smiled shyly. She was not as open-minded as this hairy girl and was unwilling to talk too much about things between men and women.
Yang Mingzhi scratched his head. Today's China is in the period of the Republic of China. The new China in the future will learn from the Soviet Union in many aspects, including the age of children's adulthood and the legal age for marriage. According to the standards of New China, Carambola at this time is 100% a child.
But this girl's self-awareness has already defined herself as the role of a wife, and she also wants to be a good wife. This is of course a blessing for men, but the times are like this, so Yang Mingzhi simply compromised.
"It's almost New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar, and then it will be 1942. This war will continue. I'm sorry, we have to continue the war. For you children, war is really not a good thing." As soon as he spoke, Yang Mingzhi just said
I sighed, and when I saw the expressions of these two girls, I immediately realized that I was exposing a scar.
"Oops! I'm sorry, there are some things I can't say."
Natasha's face was sullen, and tears couldn't help but well up from the corners of her eyes. Next to her, her younger brother Kostya didn't cry, but just grabbed her sister's arm.
The girl looked at her brother with a wry smile and said, "Sir, it's okay. Maybe we are destined to experience these sufferings. Now I think I have completed my revenge, and my parents will be proud of me. They protected me and
Brother, now I can take up my gun and take revenge."
Yang Mingzhi said nothing. Natasha's original family members were relatively simple, but her wife was different.
Yang Tao actually had quite a lot of relatives, but her closest relatives lived in the countryside, so she was the only one who survived. The catastrophe was only more than two years ago, but I can still vividly remember it when I close my eyes.
"Ahem! Don't be so sullen! Today we eat noodles to celebrate. It's our private celebration!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands, and the three of them had to force a smile.
Yang Mingzhi absolutely did not want his wife to be sad, so he simply said: "Sooner or later, a girl will find the boy she likes, then form her own family, and then give birth to her own children. As a human being, it is necessary to leave the original family to form your own
The relatives who died have left us forever, but we still have to live strong." At this point, Yang Mingzhi subconsciously stretched out his right hand and covered his wife's head, "Now that we have formed a new family, I am yours.
Relatives, isn’t it?”
Yang Tao nodded silently.
In fact, she always has infinite doubts about her husband's identity. Since she is married, she must have in-laws, right? The answer is no. Her husband seems to be born an orphan, but he is also born with a variety of very practical knowledge. This is admirable and puzzling.
.So where is he from? This man spoke Northeastern in general. I still remember that the Anti-Union team had not yet been destroyed. The old squad leader said that the accent of the new Yang Mingzhi sounded a bit like Peiping dialect.
Where is Peiping? The girl didn’t have much culture at that time. She only knew that Peiping was the capital of the former Qing Dynasty and the most prosperous city in the country. Maybe her husband was from that place, so he was very knowledgeable and had some strange tricks.
thing.
The children wiped away their tears and tried not to be sad anymore. Facing 1942, everyone not only looked forward to it.
Natasha raised her head and asked what everyone wanted to know: "Sir, we can win this war, right?"
"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi said with certainty.
"However, the enemy is very strong. Of course our troops are also very strong, and our friends, their battle is too difficult. I heard many soldiers discussing that our current situation is already isolated and helpless."
"Really? Who said that?" Yang Mingzhi was startled, and the change in his expression shocked Natasha.
"Yes... the soldiers of the guard company just said it casually when they were dealing with the snow. It seems to be true."
It seems that the majority of officers and soldiers have already known the words of Front Army Commander Timoshenko. Perhaps, this is what Yelentina consciously wants the soldiers to know. After thinking about it, maybe she doesn’t have to worry about anything. This cannot be covered in paper.
Fire is a necessity. The swamp has been isolated and helpless for several months, but now there is no air supply. But what's the problem? The most worrying problems of bedding and heating have been solved!
Yang Mingzhi put on a soothing expression again, "Okay, I'm not angry at all. Because this matter is already an established fact, and I figured it out a few months ago. My dear, you don't have to worry."
"Then, we will still win, right?" Natasha asked.
Yang Mingzhi really cannot say this with pride. The great Soviet Red Army fought all the way to Berlin in 1945 and planted the red flag in the Reichstag. After that, half of Europe became a satellite country of the Soviet Union. If the Iron Curtain had not come, two years later,
In ten years, Lenin's unfinished business was completed than Stalin's!
Therefore, Yang Mingzhi laughed loudly: "Children, I will just say it casually. You can treat me as a prophet and listen to my inspiring sand table deduction."
"Okay, okay!" Seeing Natasha clapping her hands, Star Tao and Kostya immediately agreed.
Yang Mingzhi paused for breath: "Children, the war will eventually end in victory. Hasn't our army completed Moscow's counterattack? After that, we will have another big war west of Moscow, a big war in the east of Soviet Russia, and then in Ukraine
A big war will be fought in the east. We can win. After a few battles, the enemy's elite will be completely lost, and then it will be our time. The Red Army will liberate Ukraine and Belarus, which is where we are. At that time, our 284th Division will also leave the swamp.
,Perhaps, by that time, the deputy division commander and division chief of staff you see will transform into a group army commander and chief of staff, or even a front army commander and chief of staff!"
He can put on a pose that makes the children laugh happily.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. Remember, we are fighting in the dark. You all know that the darkness before the sun is born is the darkest and coldest. We don't have to be afraid. Victory belongs to justice. In the end, including
My China will also emerge from the darkness and run toward the light."
At this point, Yang Mingzhi also admired his own words, but I am afraid that what Yelentina said was nothing more than that.
The children focused mainly on eating, and the sound of gobbling them down was very clear.
The same is true for Yang Mingzhi. He is good at making noodles, and his wife is also a master of cooking.
Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way! Natasha, your effective record of killing enemies in this military operation is twenty-five. Maybe you have recorded more yourself. These results
It's all in the battle results record book. You know we all have to summarize it after the battle.
The booklet has been placed at the division headquarters, and soon your results will be reported to the front army and will be known to Timoshenko!"
Upon hearing the name Timoshenko, the two girls immediately raised their heads cleverly.
"Ah, by the way! And Bessika, your record is fifteen, and it will be reported as well."
"But, I remember, there must have been twenty enemies killed." Yang Tao was a little unhappy.
Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "I'm talking about effective killing of enemies. It is inevitable that there may be statistical errors. Don't worry, your results will also be reported. You have killed fifteen enemies. You are already very impressive! Both of you are
Please note that from a macro perspective, the total losses of our Soviet Red Army are much higher than those of the German army, but you two have proven with actual actions that ace heroes can emerge locally. In the afternoon, the division commander and I discussed many miscellaneous matters
, now, the Guerrilla Hero Medal and a bonus for you two are already a certainty!"
So what else is there to complain about? With this real military merit in hand, I have nothing to fear. (To be continued.) 8
