Snow was falling, and the return to Blacksmith Village should be delayed. Yang Mingzhi came to the division headquarters, but learned that Yevlov had never changed his decision to evacuate.
"Are you too anxious? It's snowing outside. Do we really want to take action in such bad weather?" Yang Mingzhi asked.
And the explanation Yevlov gave him was that the so-called military order had been set, and soldiers such as Roshakov, Balzen and other troops were ready to evacuate. Even if the snow was heavy, it was far from reaching
The extent of the snowstorm, and because there are not enough barracks, the troops have to sleep in tents. Such weather will be a threat to the health of the soldiers.
These words are indeed very convincing. Yang Mingzhi recalled that when he arrived at the division headquarters, he saw many field tents along the way. To be honest, these soldiers returned to their respective military camps. Not only were there wooden houses, most of them were also
A small fireplace was built, and the indoor temperature was at least above freezing.
"Okay! I don't want the soldiers to catch the cold one by one. These two thousand soldiers are our elite troops." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and continued to ask: "Has the time changed?"
"Yes." Yelentina raised her head, her face was very rosy, and she seemed to be in a good mood. "Because of the snow, the road has become quite slippery, which is very suitable for our horse-drawn sleigh operation. Furthermore,
It is also because of the snowfall, the placement of heavy weapons, and the loading of other supplies, there will be some troubles. I discussed it with Yevlov, and after lunch, the entire army evacuated."
The two people discussed it, probably on the couch. Yang Mingzhi nodded and agreed to the arrangement.
He immediately asked casually: "Did you use the gifts I gave you yesterday at night?"
"Of course. You are a man like a male bear, I am very satisfied." Yelentina said this without any shame, her love with her teacher Yevlov was almost obvious.
That night, I was always doing the ideological work of the soldiers and focusing on the trivial matters of daily life. I even had to identify possible spies and defeatist elements in the team. Political commissars have been prohibited from interfering in the work of military commanders.
, Jelentina manages other aspects, and the workload is not easy at all.
In this way, she was able to completely relax with the man she loved. At this moment, Yelentina straightened her back and said without shame: "Actually, Yevlov, he gave me a taste of the joy of being a woman." After that, she said
, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, I wish you happiness in love. After the war is won, you will get married and welcome a new life after the war." Yang Mingzhi said with a yawn.
All the things that the three of them had to deal with were done, and there was really no serious military affairs this morning.
But the snow was still falling. Yang Mingzhi stood at the door, stretched his arms and legs, and looked back at the two physics people. "If nothing happens, we can organize snow clearing work. If the snow is too heavy, the house will collapse."
"
This idea is not a bad idea, Yevlov stood up and said: "That's okay, I have to inform the soldiers immediately that the plan has changed. They will be very idle this morning, so it is necessary to get them working!"
In this way, the assembly horn was blown immediately, and the soldiers asked questions. They all put on their military uniforms within five minutes and assembled outdoors in an organized manner.
Yevlov summoned all the junior officers from each unit. They thought the troops would leave now, but they learned that the time was delayed.
"In such bad weather, we still have to leave. The time is adjusted to one o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone will go out when they are warm after eating and drinking hot soup." Yevlov's arrangement undoubtedly surprised everyone.
I was satisfied, so no one had objections to subsequent snow clearing orders.
Yang Mingzhi is a diligent man. In the early battles, he took the lead and was recognized and loved by grassroots officers and soldiers. Now that he has the rank of senior colonel and the status of deputy division commander, that original intention has not changed.
He returned to the dormitory, also woke up Carambola, and ordered: "You go to the hospital now and continue to take care of the patients. Tell Natasha that we will leave at one o'clock in the afternoon, and you let her and her brother get ready."
"Okay. What about you?"
"I have to clear the snow and join the soldiers. Our army is stationed in Black Earth Village and we have to do something for the people."
In this way, the actions of the soldiers were immediately responded to by the villagers. Warmansky did not hesitate to call on the villagers' families to join the snow clearing team. The villagers contributed farm tools, and many peasant women and children also joined the work.
Thousands of people worked together to clear the snow, and despite the snow falling, the snow on the roofs of various buildings was cleared away in time, and the roads were also cleared. The snow was loaded onto horse-drawn sleds and piled together, and soon it turned into a small snow mountain.
This turned out to be a place for children to play.
Yang Mingzhi wiped his sweat and realized how much he had cleaned while holding the shovel. In short, he worked with the soldiers. The Soviet ideology respected labor the most, and doing so would definitely be of great benefit to his popularity.
After working continuously until ten o'clock, Yang Mingzhi also sat down to rest with the soldiers who were working together, sipping hot milk cooked by the farmers in the village, and chewing some cheese.
At this moment, he immediately saw two people like this.
"Isn't that Virgin? The person next to him must be Greta. Is the blind date between these two people completed yesterday?" Yang Mingzhi stood up with a smile on his face and walked straight towards the two people.
Now Greta is holding a wooden shovel and clearing snow with the Virgin. Just this past night, she completed the transformation from a girl to a woman. Now she has to admit that this Virgin has completely subverted her view of the Slavs.
She had the impression that she had not been abused at all and received very good care. As for now, Greta had to accept the reality that she was becoming a Soviet woman step by step.
Yang Mingzhi, with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the couple with great interest and asked: "Virgin, it seems that your relationship with your woman is already very good."
"Yes, sir!" Virgin immediately stood at attention and saluted. What she said was also a mechanical conditioned reflex.
"So, have you used the things I gave you yesterday?"
"No, sir." Virgin noticed that Yang Mingzhi's expression changed slightly, and immediately put his arm around Greta's shoulders and continued: "I think that since she is willing to accept me and I am willing to accept her, I think
This is love. In that case, we don’t need that.”
Yang Mingzhi understood this meaning. This energetic young man had obviously conquered this German woman. Well, this way, Greta's thoughts were reassuring, and her decision made him
After leaving the prison camp forever, his future will be better.
"Well, you'd better not let your woman be too tired today. We will leave in the afternoon. You have to take your woman back to the Blacksmith Village safely." Yang Mingzhi said, and met the slightly shy Gray
Ta looked at each other and spoke some simple English to comfort her, hoping she would understand.
Three hours passed, it was about 11 o'clock in the morning, and all the snow clearing work came to an end. After this exercise, the soldiers were in good spirits, and they also learned that there was beef and mutton in the hot soup at noon.
So why is this happening? Red meat is precious.
For no other reason than the sudden snowfall, some domestic animals froze to death. In line with the principle of not wasting, they immediately became today's lunch. However, the meat was eaten by more than two thousand people, so everyone only got a share.
A little bit, but even so everyone is still very satisfied.
As of today, Natasha's condition has recovered very well, except that she is still unable to exercise strenuously. She can walk on her own, and there is no visible injury on the surface. After lunch, Natasha and Kostya packed their bags and went
Accompanied by Yang Tao, he walked out of the hospital.
The three of them saw a large number of soldiers gathering. They were all wearing thick military coats, with guns on their backs, and each of them also carried thick luggage.
Natasha suddenly thought: "Where is my gun! My equipment, I have to bring them."
"The firearms were taken away by the chief." Yang Tao said, "Don't worry, the firearms have been well maintained."
The girl's sniper rifle was placed in a long and narrow wooden box. After being sealed, it was also moved among the supplies of the artillery company. The artillery's recoilless rifles and mortars were loaded and fixed on horse-drawn sleds, and abundant ammunition was also placed.
Go up.
The troops were about to leave, and some were asked to be stationed in Black Earth Village to make up for the loss of personnel in the battle. Anatoly was selected in this way, and his remaining more than 400 people were stationed here.
Others, the first regiment led by Roshakov returned to the military camp in Blacksmith Village, as did Balzen and Doronin's troops. Hangelberg led his remaining nine girls back to Catfish Village
.But everything is different. These nine girls will leave the prison camp and live in more comfortable dormitories before Yelentina forces them to marry Mao Zi.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the snowfall became lighter. Yang Mingzhi hugged his wife, wrapped her in a wool blanket, and sat comfortably on the sled. Next to them were Natasha and Kostya. The wind and snow could not stop the march, and the soldiers lined up.
Four long queues, as well as sleds carrying a large amount of baggage, headed south together. (To be continued.) 8
