The sky gradually dawned, and Yang Mingzhi had already fallen asleep with his wife in his arms.
After all, Blacksmith Village has undergone large-scale construction as a new military camp, and there are still a large number of new barracks that are vacant. According to the plan, the buildings are scattered in the woods, so that the trees can be used as camouflage, and the entire camp will be habitable.
The next two infantry regiments were reorganized.
Naturally, Yang Mingzhi currently lives in a private room, which is a room used for entertaining guests. It is located on the side of the new division building.
The solid wooden bed has enough blankets, making it extremely warm to sleep on.
On the other hand, Liguschkov received the results of the deputy division commander's overnight battle and immediately began to analyze them. He could not ask his workers to quickly switch to RPG production, and the mass production of new equipment had to be gradual.
.
He first selected manpower from various workshops, and these people had to study the drawings carefully before starting work.
A small meeting was held in his office.
"You must study the drawings in the shortest possible time. Each department will get its own drawings and start producing parts immediately. If there are any problems, go to Joseph in our department to deal with it. By the way, let me say it again, we are a factory.
It already has an exact name, it’s called Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau, and the drawings you got are the deputy division commander’s new invention.”
These people were confused, and they had no choice but to explain it several times. Only then did everyone understand that this was no ordinary weapon. Moreover, what they were doing also had a formal name. Since it was already a
Design bureau, then pick up the energy and start taking action.
Yang Mingzhi has always been very confident about the production of weapon parts. Liguschkov is responsible for the production of RPGs. He stays in the blacksmith village and has to wait for Yelentina's arrival.
Before this arrival, Yang Mingzhi still had some free days.
The only purpose of that woman's coming was to resolve the matter of rescuing the captives. Yang Mingzhi first decided to meet those people properly.
Regarding the huge crowd of more than two thousand people, Yang Mingzhi had dealt with them before. It was just after the ambush battle. When this group of people learned that they had a chance to escape, there were actually many people and the German soldiers guarding them.
A fight broke out. After paying a certain price, the chaos they created objectively meant that the ambush force could quickly wipe out the German army.
Therefore, the day before Jelientina arrived, Yang Mingzhi went to the barracks of these former prisoners of war with great interest. They were stationed like ordinary soldiers, and basically a dormitory was based on their original establishment. If there were no accidents,
These people will soon be able to join the battle order and will also receive firearms for reorganization.
After learning that the visitor was the deputy commander of the 284th Division, many people were in awe. What they asked most about was their future, and many worried that they would be treated unfairly because they were prisoners.
Yang Mingzhi also knew very well that the woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had always hated the idea of surrendering as a prisoner. It was really his words that persuaded her to show mercy. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Yang Mingzhi patted his chest and promised
: "We are rescuing you under the order of the commander of the front army. If the military committee wants to hold you accountable, we will not ask us to recruit you as a fighting force again."
These words are a reassurance that, in short, all of them are valuable.
In addition, Yang Mingzhi also took the opportunity to observe Liguschkov's work. As he hoped, RPG weapons are already in production. For safety and quality, it must be produced in small quantities first, and will be carried out after the experiment is completed.
Mass production.
Yang Mingzhi was not in a hurry. The only thing he was worried about was the arrival of Yelentina. Therefore, as an officer, he ordered Liguschkov: "You must pay attention. Our division political commissar Yelentina will be here soon."
All workers must cheer up and make a good impression on the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Of course, it's not just the arsenal that's tense. The Soviet village committee of Blacksmith Village is also busy. Yelentina's status as the Ministry of Internal Affairs makes many people a little afraid.
While everyone was waiting a little uneasily, Yelentina and her party slowly headed towards the blacksmith village in a carriage.
…
As a political commissar, etiquette must be in place. Yelentina wore the same military coat as a soldier, with an armed belt tied up. She sat sideways on the carriage. Unlike others, she wore her own blue-top military cap.
To prove her identity, in order to avoid frostbite on her ears, she also hung ear warmers made of fluffy rabbit skin on both sides of her head.
Accompanying her were a number of political commissars who were her subordinates. Their trip was to accept the investigation results of another group of people and to discuss how to deal with this group of rescued Red Army soldiers.
She never thought that when her team approached the blacksmith village, they would meet familiar people at the entrance of the village - Belekov and his wife to greet them in person.
"Haha! It would be great if we came together as a team! At least there is someone to talk to on the way." Yelentina complained without hiding it, but Yang Mingzhi still put on a smile for this.
He said: "You and I are both busy people. I am here urgently to deal with matters related to weapons. Aren't you here to deal with matters about those soldiers? Come on, let's go to the village committee office."
"Okay! You will lead the way." After saying that, Yelentina jumped out of the carriage at a quick pace.
Apart from her status as the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the divisional political commissar, she is essentially a motivated young woman who also instinctively wants to be a big sister. In this way, with Yang Mingzhi leading the way, she subconsciously hugged Yang Tao's
Shoulder, ask some things between husband and wife.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help frowning in front of him. "A woman is a woman, and the tendency to gossip is instinctive!" So she deliberately quickened her pace, and Yelentina and her entourage quickly arrived at the village committee.
Here, the village chief Kavitsky has been waiting for a long time, and waiting with him are other political commissars. These people are the ones responsible for counting the composition of the rescued soldiers. They have put the statistical results - a dozen materials - on the table.
Waiting for inspection by the division political commissar.
No, a group of people strode into the village committee. Adhering to Lao Maozi's usual style, Yelentina came in to look at everyone present, and immediately asked: "What are the results of your statistics? I am here to check and accept them this time.
"
"The report to the political commissar is on this table. From these dozens of documents, we have clearly investigated the names, ages, places of origin, and military positions of those people."
It was thick kraft paper, and it was a bit reluctant to record a large amount of information. These people really completed the task, which made Yang Mingzhi admire him very much. I am afraid that these capable generals under Yelentina must also be fighting until late every day.
In this office, Yelentina briefly scanned the materials, focusing mainly on the job column. The reason was simple, she had to understand the composition of this army. But the result was very funny!
It was hard to make out any clues after looking through more than 2,000 names like a scanner, but the job titles column that Jelentina saw was almost the same, with almost everyone using the word "soldier".
"Where are the officers? Did you find that the only person with the highest position is the platoon leader?!" Yelentina looked at her men with an incredulous look.
"There are no senior officers. As you can see, the most senior officer currently is the platoon leader."
Hearing what her subordinates said, she suddenly felt like she was being tricked. Yelentina put on an embarrassed face and said, "Don't lie to me. I am ordering you to identify the traitors who are planning to surrender. Now tell me
The only senior officers I call are platoon leaders. A team of more than two thousand people is almost just a group of soldiers!"
Because the platoon leader is in charge of ten people, and his duties are limited to this. These troops also belong to the same group army, so why haven't even a senior official screened them out?
Yelentina continued: "It is true that our solution to traitors is to shoot them. The people you identify will indeed go through my interrogation, and the results will basically be shot. So you really don't have any compassion?"
Faced with such questioning, the people responsible for the investigation immediately stood upright and ensured that there was no malfeasance in their duties.
This answer still did not satisfy Elena. She still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yang Mingzhi.
"How come you, a woman, always want to discover some traitor to our great motherland!? I'm very worried that if your idea continues to develop, your subordinates will be forced to drag those platoon leaders who only manage a few soldiers into your position.
In front of you. Do you think that by killing these people, you have completed the purge of the army? Do you have to punish some people?"
At this, Yelentina was not happy. She turned her head and said sternly: "Yes, someone must be responsible for the surrender. The group of Red Army soldiers we have rescued now, no matter what, they all surrendered
.”
"Yes! I don't deny this, but you should think about the officer who ordered them to surrender. Why do we only find the platoon commander so far? As far as I know, after the Germans capture prisoners, they will also screen them, company commanders, battalion commanders, etc.
There are also political commissars and soldiers who must take off their pants and let the Germans inspect them to identify the Jews. After that, all these people will be shot, and you won’t have to bother to screen them again now.”
This statement was so enlightening that Yelentina was stunned for a moment. She said suddenly: "Oh! How could I forget that these captured guys have already been in a German prisoner-of-war camp!
"
Things suddenly became subtle.
Yang Mingzhi said decisively and loudly, "My comrade political commissar, you have been working hard on the journey. We must deal with those people in a proper manner. Now I personally suggest that you stay here first. It will be lunch time soon."
Yelentina was resolute, but her hunger made her listen to Yang Mingzhi's words many times.
"Okay! You are our think tank. We will discuss it in the afternoon. You are the chief of staff after all." (To be continued.) u
