When Yang Mingzhi returned home, he learned that his wife was not here. He looked at his neighbor's home, Natasha's, and found that there was no one there either.
"Are these two girls still in the hospital?" Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and went directly to the hospital.
As expected, it was already very late and the two were still in the hospital. The two sisters and a little boy were chatting happily.
Yang Mingzhi entered the room quietly and coughed twice, interrupting their chat.
Yang Tao pouted her lips deliberately, which looked particularly cute with her white coat. "You are obviously back, but you came to see me so late. It seems that you must have very important military affairs."
"Of course. You two come out with me. I have something to say."
Yang Mingzhi shook his neck and walked out of the door, and the two girls immediately followed him.
Star Tao and Natasha both know that the reconnaissance company has another mission this time. The two of them are also discussing the topic just now. Since there is a mission, will we also participate.
Now, Yang Mingzhi confirmed the girls' guess. "I gave Balzen a new combat order. As a member of the reconnaissance company, Natasha, you also want to participate."
"Yes! Sir!" The girl immediately saluted.
Yang Tao asked curiously: "So, what about me? Do I want to participate too?"
"You don't have to, just stay in the hospital and continue to take care of the patients."
Yang Tao shook her head regretfully. She actually knew her responsibilities. She could only envy her sisters for being able to continue to perform military missions.
But Yang Mingzhi, still with a serious face, said to Natasha: "My dear, this is a very difficult mission. Balzen's troops will travel more than a hundred kilometers to carry out a sabotage mission of great importance.
I originally did not want you to participate in such a dangerous mission. But considering that you are the best sniper in the army, your joining in this battle will greatly improve the combat effectiveness..."
"I promise to complete the mission!" Before Yang Mingzhi finished speaking, the girl stood at attention and saluted.
Her eyes were full of confidence and fighting spirit. Yang Mingzhi patted her shoulder and said, "This is what I'm telling you. Go back and have a good sleep today, and prepare for the expedition tomorrow!"
Yang Mingzhi continued to finish. The so-called mission was to attack the German airport. This mission was very important. Once successful, it would be able to prevent possible German air attacks for a long time.
The task was so arduous, Natasha didn't complain at all. She finally promised: "I didn't fulfill my promise in the last operation. This time I will definitely come back with a lot of results."
Yang Mingzhi didn't say anything, and in his heart he only asked her not to get any injuries to her body and bones while performing meritorious deeds.
…
Early the next morning, as soon as the morning bugle blew, Yang Mingzhi got up immediately.
Today is an important day for everyone. After waking up his wife immediately and saying good things, Yang Mingzhi got dressed and rushed out of the door. He went straight to the division headquarters without delay. Everyone who was invited this morning was due, and the venue was closed.
Arrange it well.
This meeting is related to the safety of the base area. The three collective farms and military camps, with a total of more than 20,000 people, are all likely to be attacked by air raids. Especially the Catfish Village Airport is the most dangerous place.
Yang Mingzhi did not dare to neglect. He had to clearly inform all participants of the countermeasures developed by the division. In order for the plan to proceed in an orderly manner, he also participated in the layout of the venue like an ordinary soldier.
Just like that, at ten o'clock in the morning, everyone came one after another.
They are: the village chiefs and accompanying representatives of the three collective farms, all battalion commanders and special company commanders in the army, political commissars at all levels and representatives of the Communist Youth League, a total of nearly one hundred people.
The notification received by so many people was simple. The division headquarters will implement the latest plan, which concerns everyone.
Finally, at 11 o'clock in the morning, everyone who was supposed to come was basically there.
For a long time, the leaders of these various groups have not gathered in such a concentrated manner. Everyone was in a really good mood when meeting each other, and the venue was buzzing with whispers.
It was not until the arrival of Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov, Yelentina and Fuming that the noise was put to an end.
Yevlov stamped his feet and said in his loud voice: "Comrades, I have called you to come to the meeting today. This is a meeting that will determine our future destiny. Everyone, keep your spirits up!"
At this point, the meeting began.
It was Yevlov who announced the decision made by the division headquarters, that is, in order to prepare for the upcoming air raid, all collective farms should be evacuated immediately.
He specifically named Catfish Village: "The enemy's reconnaissance plane has been hovering over the airport for a long time, and the area has been marked by the enemy. In future air strikes, the location of Catfish Village will be the most dangerous. Therefore, the personnel in Catfish Village must be evacuated.
The same is true for collective farms. For the next ten days, villagers will immediately go into the forest to take shelter."
This was like a blanket order, which immediately aroused doubts.
Liguschkov stood up and asked: "In order to respond to the air raid, will our arsenal also have to stop production? Will the workers have to be evacuated?"
"Not bad!" Yang Mingzhi took a step forward. "The arsenal will stop production, and the workers and villagers will go to the woods. Women and children, especially, will have to leave our current location and hide."
"But then, weapons production will stop. Is this really good? There is still molten iron in our blast furnace, will it also shut down?"
Blast furnaces generally cannot be allowed to cool down. Yang Mingzhi was very helpless. He frowned and said to everyone: "What Liguschkov said just now is very representative. The plan is that everyone has to go into the forest to hide for ten days, which will bring many problems."
Inconvenience. The most troublesome thing is that the arsenal and the granary have to be temporarily moved. The machinery has to be temporarily moved, and the grain has to be transported to other places and hidden.
All this is to avoid heavy losses in air strikes. Machines cannot be built without weapons, and we will starve if the food is destroyed. Don’t care about the troubles in front of you, let alone be lazy. Only if we are fully prepared for future air strikes
Only then can we minimize casualties."
Liguschkov paused and said, "If this is the case, I agree with the division headquarters' arrangement." This man is not a desperate person, he also needs to take a long-term view.
After all, once the German air force is dispatched, they will see the smoke rising from the dense forest and will decisively define it as a priority attack target. Especially steelmaking and cast iron forging, such processes require the burning of coal and charcoal. Incomplete combustion will cause
Huge smoke. If the arsenal is attacked, the losses to the troops will be huge!
In the face of a major crisis, the most appropriate choice is highly debatable.
At this time, Yelentina's words were more authoritative. The woman in the blue hat took Yevlov's manuscript and read out the evacuation plan.
The specific content of the evacuation was actually formulated by her, the person responsible for life. The content was very detailed, including how people would evacuate, how they would live hiding in the forest, and the necessary continued production.
The tasks of each collective farm are also different, because she is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, her words are orders, and everyone present can only follow the orders.
Yelentina finished reading eloquently. She could see that everyone's expressions were not good-looking, but an order was an order.
"Comrades, this is the specific evacuation plan. I will also distribute the transcript to your collective farm personnel later. As for the officers and political commissars, you will enter a state of combat readiness and be ready for battle at any time."
At this point, the meeting came to an end in just one hour. There were not many questions in the meeting, and everyone did not dare to joke with their own lives. After all, the German Air Force did blow up Homnitch. If this
It happened in a village, and the number of deaths might be as high as four figures!
It is good to be prepared at any time. In the next ten days, the villagers will try their best to build shacks in the forest. As soon as the air raid is over, they will immediately return to their homes and start the aftermath of the air raid.
At the same time, Yang Mingzhi also informed everyone that complete passive defense was impossible. An elite force would attack over a long distance. As long as the German airport and those aircraft were destroyed, the threat of air strikes would disappear.
This was a two-pronged preparation. They did not dare to neglect the representatives of Catfish Village and Black Earth Village. They went back directly after having a simple lunch, and the evacuation plan also started in the afternoon! (To be continued.) u
