Natasha tried her best to wash her face. She felt that she was very weak, and the dust on her body was shaken off by the soldiers responsible for protecting her.
The girl's braid was untied, the dust on her head was also cleaned, and finally she tied it into a simple ponytail.
A horse-drawn sleigh stopped in front of her, and two soldiers helped the girl onto it. Several military blankets were spread on the sleigh, which was warm and very comfortable.
"Before you go home, just lie here properly. Don't move around, don't think about it, and rest peacefully." The same veteran warned Natasha just now.
This man had a stubble on his face and his forehead was full of wrinkles.
Natasha asked slowly: "Uncle, what's your name? You look like you are probably forty years old."
"Just call me Sasha. You guessed it right, I am forty-two years old..."
After receiving the reply from the division headquarters, the troops began to return. In Yevlov's reply, he specifically asked about Natasha's exact situation. There was no way, Balzen pointed out clearly that the girl was holding her breath in her stomach.
He was out of breath during a bombing attack and stretched his lungs, but there were no other wounded soldiers.
After all the reports were completed, the troops took a final rest for an hour and started on their way home.
Because of the bombing, many horses died, and a large number of soldiers died. After the horse meat was cut off, it quickly froze into lumps of ice in this cold season, as did the dead soldiers.
The corpses of the soldiers were piled high and tied with hemp ropes, and the sleds were pulled by horses and intact soldiers.
In addition to the spoils of war, a large number of guns and ammunition, only a few were lost in the bombing. The troops did not receive a large amount of scrap copper and iron, and it was a huge gain to obtain ready-made weapons. These metal weapons are heavier and cannot be carried
Their sleighs are also pulled entirely by horses.
Based on this situation, it is no longer possible for Balzen's troops to advance at a high speed like they rushed to rescue Homnich. They must rely on two legs, carrying the exhausted bodies that survived the disaster, and walk south at a low speed of four kilometers per hour.
go.
On the way back, Natasha did not sleep peacefully.
"I didn't get any results, and I almost died in battle. I will definitely be reprimanded by my superiors, because my promise has not been fulfilled at all." The girl still pouted her mouth and frowned, obviously full of dissatisfaction.
In this regard, several soldiers accompanying the guardians joked, especially the veteran named Sasha. "Natasha, in fact, your safe return is the most perfect answer to the division commander and deputy division commander. You were injured during the bombing."
You were slightly injured, and the commander asked urgently about your injury, and the reconnaissance company commander specifically reported your situation to the division headquarters."
It turns out that I am so valued! Natasha's eyes widened, and she felt even more ashamed when the veteran said this.
Facing such a girl, the veteran smiled. He really knew the thoughts of children at this age. He was only sixteen years old, which was the age between children and adults.
The veteran claimed to be from Mogilev and joined the 284th Division stationed fifty kilometers west of Minsk before the war began.
"You are the original veteran of the 284th Guards Division! It's incredible! You are one thousandth of the lucky ones!" Natasha couldn't control her emotions for a moment after hearing what this man said. She wanted to sit up, but**
The pain in her ** muscles forced her to lie still.
"Child, don't be too excited. It's true that I am a veteran of the army. I am currently just serving as a platoon leader. I am old and don't have any higher talents. I can be an ordinary soldier, but I can't be a more senior officer.
.”
His humility was completely different from what Natasha was striving for.
"My family were all killed by the Nazis. What crime do they have? Just because we are Soviets, those Germans are like man-eating devils who must kill us! So I must avenge my family. I will also use
Military merit is exchanged for a lot of rubles. I also have a younger brother. For him, I have to play the role of a mother. Besides, the lives of our siblings were saved by the deputy division commander. For him, I have to fight harder.
.”
Sasha listened carefully and stared into the child's sincere eyes. Poor, this child who was supposed to be innocent and romantic no longer had innocence in her eyes. She was already young and mature, and she was extremely utilitarian. Also, she had already
He is an orphan. How can he escape from his tragic fate if he does not rely on his own efforts.
"Well, I am old after all. You are still young! Natasha, I followed the army from Minsk to Pripyat and left my hometown for almost a year. I don't know what happened to my wife and son.
, maybe they also suffered the same tragedy as your family. These damn Nazis, we are going to defeat them, and we are going to fight them all the way to Dublin. So before that, you must live in peace."
Natasha nodded. She seemed to understand, but the veteran mentioned the capital of Germany. That was the place where the war started. As long as we captured it, this damn war would be over!
"Okay!" The girl turned her head and looked at the veteran. "I understand. I will work hard to survive and avenge our compatriots who died!"
However, what Natasha didn't know was that time had entered 1942. After half a year of brutal war, the Soviet Union suffered huge casualties. War mobilization began in an all-round way, the state machinery was fully transferred to a wartime system, and all-out war began.
In the occupied areas, the German army gradually fell into the vast sea of people's war.
Because it was a wartime system, Soviet citizens of appropriate age did not have the right to refuse military service. A large number of young people were recruited from the Ural Mountains, from Siberia, and from the eastern part of Moscow for the occupied areas.
Millions of new troops have been recruited, and the weapons in their hands are very different from those at the beginning of the war.
New weapons began to equip the troops. A large number of anti-tank guns, individual rocket-propelled grenades that were mass-produced with drawings provided by Yang Mingzhi, the mass-produced Sha 41, etc. In terms of heavy weapons, newly produced tanks
Mainly the T34 series. For the Air Force, the old I-15 and I-16, these "pesticide aircraft", were replaced by the new Lager III fighter jets.
Even so, weapons theory alone cannot play a big role at the strategic level. Yang Mingzhi provided feasible drawings, which enabled RPG weapons to be put into actual combat three years in advance and achieved good results.
However, because the Soviet authorities required mass production of weapons and the completion of weapon production in the lowest possible working hours, the effective range of the RPG was shortened. It originally had a long range, but was defined as an anti-tank weapon within fifty meters. Even so
, it still has huge power, and the caliber of the projectile allows it to be loaded with more explosives. Depending on the pressure of the violent explosion on the outer metal of the tank, the armor of the Panzer III tank can easily be crushed.
After the invasion of the Soviet Union, this was not the first time that the German army encountered a brutal blow from dangerous Soviet weapons that they had not expected before the war. Therefore, the German army stormed the Kirov factory and prevented the continued mass production of the Soviet kV2 tank.
After being hit by mysterious rocket weapons, they seized some such good weapons on the battlefield. After they seized them, they immediately understood all the principles. The imitation work in Germany has begun, but on the front line, German soldiers have already
The "spear" produced by the Soviets began to be used against the "shield" produced by the Soviets, that is, tanks. Facts have proved that the RPG produced by the Soviet authorities can also cause a devastating blow to its own T34 tanks.
But everything is within the tolerance range. A simple anti-tank weapon can no longer withstand the German offensive.
The general trend of history will not change more. According to the original history, the death rate of Soviet recruits in 1942 was 97%, and only three out of every 100 people survived until Victory Day.
If Natasha knew that history was like this, maybe she wouldn't be so sure lying on the carriage that she would be able to follow the counterattack troops all the way into Berlin.
Balzen's retreat was still worried about being targeted by the German air force, so the team deliberately marched along the edge of the woods, which further slowed down the team's progress.
Yang Mingzhi knew that they were definitely running slowly, so he slept until the sun was almost setting and he didn't wake up until the sun was almost setting. The same was true for the other two.
"The biological clock is out of whack, and it's really troublesome to adjust it back." Yang Mingzhi got down, his head still a little dazed. At this moment, the sun was setting, and the thrilling day was about to end.
All three people in the division had straightened their clothes. At this time, Yang Tao returned carrying a basket full of food.
"You finally woke up. Now let's have something to eat. You were sleeping at noon and missed lunch."
Yang Mingzhi nodded. He was lucky to have such a considerate wife. However, when he got up, his lower abdomen was distended and painful, so he went to the toilet first.
During dinner, Yang Mingzhi informed his wife Natasha. "Your sister was slightly injured during the war. Our army was bombed by enemy planes and suffered heavy losses."
Yang Tao's peaceful heart immediately became nervous. She threw herself into her husband's arms and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with her?! How serious is her injury! No, where is she? Let me go see her."
This anxious look is nothing more than that of a biological sister. Yang Tao's question just brought up the topic.
Yang Mingzhi said: "Our people will arrive at Heitu Village first. They carry the remains of a large number of fallen soldiers. These soldiers sacrificed their lives, so we simply set up a cemetery for them in Heitu Village. As well as the wounded, in this bad weather, I
I really can’t bear for them to suffer any more. Let’s just let them check into the hospital in Black Earth Village immediately.”
"This is reasonable. In the past few operations, the troops returned to Black Earth Village to rest first. Besides, Roshakov and his people have already arrived there, and Black Earth Village has plenty of manpower. If there is a shortage, it is medicine.
Right." Yevlov said.
"Drugs are not a problem, we still have a lot of inventory. And as for doctors and nurses, you can see that our Bessika is a very good female doctor!" Yang Mingzhi said.
It is one's own responsibility to rescue the wounded, especially Natasha, who loves her sister, is injured, so Carambola must go together.
However, Yelentina made a suggestion by the way: "Comrades, we have captured a group of German military doctors and nurses. Some of them, I think, have been more sincere in our camp, or in other words, they have accepted their fate.
, and chose to cooperate with us. After my observation, some people have been able to treat our tactics."
"Since I have received the affirmation from the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I think they are reliable." Yang Mingzhi said this with some hesitation.
Yelentina deliberately increased her voice: "There are at least ten female nurses. I think they can be used. These people will not be stupid enough to hurt our soldiers. You have to know that our men can easily become love bears."
.And that American, since the Soviet Union and the United States are now allies, he immediately took the position of the United States."
These words are too rough. Seeing that Yelentina is very insistent, then I agree.
After the three people discussed it, they set off at dawn the next day, and the division headquarters temporarily moved to Heitu Village. (To be continued.) 8
