Because this matter was very important, when Yang Mingzhi arrived at the division headquarters, Yevlov was already here.
"Hey! Did you come here very early? Why, you are the only one in the whole house. Have you been waiting for me?"
"I didn't leave at all. I just set up a bed at the division headquarters last night." Yevlov stood up and poured two cups of hot water. "You came very early, and the political commissar will also come over in a while. About commendations
Regarding the meeting, I have drafted the details and will read them to you later."
Fuming arrived belatedly, and all the troops had returned. The messy affairs were easily dismissed by Yelentina, and the heavy responsibility naturally fell on him as his deputy. The Soviet army was also always stubborn here, and Yelentina was the biggest
His responsibility is to take charge of the overall situation in life and thoughts, and some specific affairs are handled by Fu Ming, and he naturally assigns tasks to the commissioners at different levels to handle them.
He also held a notebook under his arm, where he recorded the latest statistical results, namely the manpower shortages of various units and rough ammunition usage.
When he arrived at the division headquarters, he was not in a hurry to take out his materials. When he saw everyone else arriving, he sat upright.
"Okay! Everyone is here now. This time we will have a small meeting about the military commendation ceremony in the afternoon."
"So early!" Yang Mingzhi was shocked, and the other two were also in an uproar.
"Yes! Yevlov, you are still too anxious!" Fuming said.
Yevlov looked at everyone and shook his head. "Comrades, I am the division commander. I can make the decision on this matter. Besides, it's not like we haven't done anything about the commendation meeting before. We have won several battles before.
What are the similarities and differences between the commendation ceremony and this one? This is just the largest military operation we have ever conducted."
So, without saying a word, he began to read out his plan.
Since he was so determined, Yang Mingzhi was happy not to worry. Originally, he thought that preparations for the commendation meeting would take a day or two, but this man obviously couldn't wait any longer.
Regarding the commendation ceremony, there were no medals or bonuses. The only prizes that Yevlov could think of were new clothes and some food. The most valuable prizes were captured pens and Ruger pistols.
Yevlov finished reading the manuscript eloquently, and then looked at everyone again: "How is it? My arrangement is also based on our previous methods. Do you have any objections?"
It sounds like his decision is understandable. This is not the first time for the officers and soldiers to participate in this kind of commendation meeting, and the prizes are still the same. Therefore, Yang Mingzhi was the first to express his affirmation, and he was actually looking forward to it in his heart.
As a reward there were several pens and ink, which were seized from German officers.
Not to mention that the diggers of later generations were always able to dig up well-preserved things on the battlefield, because these German officers always brought some personal belongings to the front line, and in the end many things were left behind for various reasons.
On the war zone.
This person has already mentioned that Natasha and Bessika must be rewarded, and they must be rewarded publicly in front of the money-counting warriors. They are children, and Natasha should have been a student, so it is very appropriate to reward them with stationery.
The deputy division commander had no objection, and neither did Fuming. The three men all looked at Yelentina.
"Hey? Don't look at me like this. Am I a mean person? It's what you said, teacher, about collective rewards. I'm a little curious about this."
"Oh? So you still have meaning." Yevlov said.
"This is not meaningful. During the battle, Joshua's female barracks and Kharkiv's boy barracks. They followed Berekov to participate in the battle and achieved good results. They were also guiding the people we rescued back and escorting the prisoners.
There were no accidents. Then, why do you want to reward these two commanders individually? Is it just a collective honor for the other soldiers?"
She said this for no other reason. Yevlov planned to reward two pocket watches. Perhaps this was some misunderstanding caused by Yelentina.
In the peaceful era of the Soviet Union, owning a pocket watch was also a status symbol. Because even the ordinary working class, let alone farmers, would spend a lot of money to buy a watch.
But Yevlov must look at this issue from a military perspective, which is something that Yelentina, who has always been responsible for ideological work, never thought of.
"Those two people are also grassroots commanders after all. In our previous military operations, military orders have always been dispatched based on battalions and companies. The battalion commanders of other battalions have watches! And only Ninili in the militia battalion owns one.
Pocket watches, this is a very bad thing. I think Berekov will also strongly support this. Later, Joshua and Kharkiv, after they have pocket watches, our army will be able to formulate orders better, and they will also
Follow the mission plan at the right time.”
These words made Yelentina suddenly realize, she just patted her head. "I really forgot! The original purpose of existence of such things as pocket watches was for military use."
"Of course, many invented items were originally meant to be used in the military." Yang Mingzhi joked, and then he knocked it off. "It seems that Comrade Division Commander has made very good arrangements, and the commendation meeting will be held
It will be held in the afternoon. The soldiers will have lunch first, and then all will assemble immediately."
The matter has been decided. It is still very early now. The discussion on the commendation meeting is over. The next step is to arrange the venue.
Yevlov naturally followed the plan he made, and immediately summoned several guards and ordered them to gather all the current officers and soldiers of the guard company at the entrance of the division.
"Now, those two girls have to come too!" Yang Mingzhi laughed, leaning against the stool. With this arrangement, Yang Tao and Natasha would definitely come with the others, so that he would not have to go home and notify them personally.
The order has been issued, and Yevlov claims that he can solve everything by himself, and others can leave, drink tea, watch love, and do whatever they want.
At this time, Fuming spoke: "One more thing, anyway, I am already here. Regarding the ammunition loss of our entire military operation, as well as the personnel losses of all participating troops, the specific records are in my notebook.
"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jelentina's eyes lit up.
"Fuming, what you said is true. You completed the task I assigned you so quickly."
"Yes, I have been working overtime all night to classify the comprehensive data and make statistics." As he said that, Fuming yawned to prove that he was really busy and tired.
The notebook was flipped through, and everyone wanted to take this opportunity to take a closer look. At this time, Yang Mingzhi finally knew the casualties of his own personnel in all operations, and the total number was 1,655. This
This includes the killed and wounded.
For the current 284th Division, this total number of casualties is almost unbearable, but does the army really have so many casualties?
Yevlov could not believe it even more. He banged the table and asked Fomin: "My dear comrade, before we accept prisoners of war and return to the army, our total strength is 6,000 people, including a group of militiamen. We will dispatch a total of
There are more than 4,000 people, and now you tell me, we actually suffered 40% casualties! Oh my god, look at the casualties of those running around at the airport."
Yang Mingzhi was also so determined and didn't say anything.
Fomin scratched his head and smiled. "The reason why there are so many casualties is that nearly a thousand people were actually killed. You have to believe this. The Homnich blocking battle was very fierce, and Berekov entered the column again."
Qicha also suffered a lot of losses in a series of actions. The rest were wounded soldiers. I count this very broadly. Even if a foot is hit while carrying a cannonball or a finger is scratched while loading a bullet, it is still considered an injury." He said.
Deliberately pointed in the direction of the military hospital: "There are indeed many people lying there for treatment now, but when I count the casualties, I don't just count them. Because most of the wounded, there is nothing wrong with them on the surface. So Comrade Division Commander is
In addition to awards, we must also praise our soldiers. They were slightly injured but behaved safely. Why? Is it because we don’t want to delay ourselves and delay military operations.”
After he finished speaking, the division headquarters fell into a brief silence, until a burst of noise came from outside.
"Ah! The comrades from the security company have arrived!" Fomin said again, interrupting the awkward silence. He glanced at Yevlov again: "Comrade Commander, I hope what I just said has reached your heart.
When the meeting is held in the afternoon, you must say something about it, as this will be good for the morale of our entire army!"
"Yes! I remember." Yevlov said.
Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and said, "I have to talk about this this afternoon. Soldiers are all good soldiers. I have to write a speech!" (To be continued.) u
