After the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Belarusians had two completely different attitudes towards the invaders. Some people retreated eastward into the Soviet rear area, while others dressed in costumes and held flowers to welcome the Germans, as if they were not invaders.
of.
Some people hope that the arrival of the Germans will rescue them from Stalin's high-pressure policies. During the war, one hundred thousand Belarusians cooperated with the Nazi occupation forces. They even became Nazi accomplices, so that many guerrillas were betrayed and supported the guerrillas.
The people in the team were killed, these people were Russian traitors.
The time is late July 1941, and this month will soon pass.
The Germans quickly occupied most of Belarus, and a large number of residents had no time to evacuate. Only a small number of people crossed the Dnieper River.
Nowadays, the guerrillas are only a handful. Most of them are stragglers who have lost contact with the army, as well as some patriots. The guerrillas in Catfish Village are considered to be a large one.
Yang Mingzhi has been very busy these days. After the army was reorganized, a large number of wounded soldiers in the team are still recuperating. They can only do some simple jobs. Military training for a large number of militiamen and young soldiers is also about to begin.
"Husband, do I really want to use a rifle? I really can't stand the recoil of this weapon." Star Tao complained, all because Yang Mingzhi gave her a Mosin Nagant.
"Xiao Tao, you must learn to use these weapons. You should even try a machine gun. Since young soldiers must be trained, you are no exception."
Although she is a wife, she is a bit fragile at only seventeen years old.
Yang Mingzhi can't stand girls pretending to be delicate. They just deliberately act weak in front of men. In fact, many girls can be very good female soldiers with a little training, but this will sacrifice their slender figure.
The aesthetic concept of the future is meaningless in the war years. Star Tao must become a female warrior, and her job as a health worker cannot be left behind.
Yang Tao sighed helplessly, and with the support of her husband, she carried the steel gun and walked out of the wood carving.
The Soviet soldiers built the house very quickly, which was also because they got help from the villagers of Catfish Village. After all, they built their wooden houses themselves, and now they were helping the soldiers to build the house in a surprise attack, which was a bit crude.
The couple's requirements were not high. The wooden bed was flat enough and the bedding was just fine. At least it was much better than sleeping in the open.
Yang Mingzhi knew that his wife must have complaints about the rifle. This full-power bullet has extremely high kinetic energy, a very long range, and a relatively large recoil.
To train a boy to become a soldier, the most basic weapon, a rifle, must be practiced.
There were twenty-one people in the youth camp. Yang Mingzhi stroked Yang Tao's back and personally sent her there.
As for the instructors, both of whom knew each other, Yang Mingzhi ordered his subordinates, the first company commander to train ordinary militiamen, and the second company commander to train these children. This hard job was handed over to Yevgeny. In Yang Mingzhi's view, this was simply for "high school students"
"Military training.
Of course, this is serious military training, not just a fancy way to cope with school requirements. Because these children have to learn how to stand at attention, how to goose-step, and even simulate fighting while holding a rifle with three-edged spurs.
The most important target training is also provided, everyone must shoot at least ten rounds of bullets.
Yang Mingzhi looked at these little soldiers standing upright, and half of them were girls. Russians grew up early, and they looked like adults. In fact, they were only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Most of them wear braids, and the same goes for star fruit in terms of hairstyle.
"Okay, dear, now your military training has begun." Yang Mingzhi urged Yang Tao to enter the queue, and then called Yevgeny over.
"Battal Commander, is it appropriate to ask Besica to join us? Isn't she a nurse?" Yevgeny asked.
Yang Mingzhi smiled slightly, "I know what you want to ask. Bessika is my wife. We have been married a long time ago and are very loving. Just because I love her, I don't want her to be too weak. Military training cannot do without her. You
She must be trained to be almost a soldier."
Yevgeny understood this. He looked at Yang Tao, and his smile seemed to say: "Your husband has handed you over to me, and I will train you to be a good soldier."
Yang Tao sighed, her husband was really doing her best, and she would have to endure hardships for a while. She carried the gun on her body like the others. The four-kilogram rifle was not very heavy, but it felt uncomfortable to carry it on her shoulders for a long time.
.
Yang Mingzhi sat cross-legged on the grass and watched these boys and girls training. He cared more about his wife. This little girl was not strong in physical strength. She had obviously been trained in the Anti-League before. Compared to others, her goose kicks were better.
most.
Queue training is very boring. In mechanical training, the temperament of a soldier can be quickly developed. If a soldier walks loosely, it is difficult to believe that this guy can endure the load of marching and fighting.
This kind of queue exercise lasts for two days, which at least allows the children to develop a sense of discipline. Of course, "brainwashing" is also very necessary. Compared with Yang Mingzhi, Yelenkina is even busier. She has already served as the political commissar of the army.
The work of spiritual enlightenment was all hers.
Mobilizing ordinary militiamen and explaining policies to young soldiers.
The first day of training was finally over. Yang Tao pinched his shoulders and lay down in front of her husband, breathing heavily.
Just now, Yevgeny ordered these children to run with guns on their backs. Yang Mingzhi estimated that they ran along Catfish Village for at least two kilometers. Most of the children were so tired that they were out of breath, except Yang Tao.
You can also lie down in front of yourself and take your breath as coquettishness.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the girl next to him with interest. "How's it going? It's really a rapid march, we are all running. You have only been running for a long time and you can't stand it anymore."
"I...I don't have good physical strength, unlike...you are not like my husband."
Yang Mingzhi held his chin. This girl was really exhausted, so that the two hills on her chest were heaving up and down. "Okay, okay, sit up quickly or stand. You should drink some water first if you are so tired."
After a day of military training, these children seemed to have no complaints. Those Russian girls with blond hair and blue eyes decided to join the army because they all had hatred. Goose-stepping and running in formation were just the beginning, and they would get serious when they got to the target shooting training.
That night, Yang Mingzhi discovered that he could fry potatoes under the current conditions. The villagers borrowed a round-bottomed iron pot for cooking fish, and the fat for cooking came from the cattle that had been eaten before, and some of the butter was made.
The couple peeled the potatoes, cut them into shreds, and boiled them with water to remove the starch. Then, Yang Mingzhi used the wooden spatula made by his wife to stir-fry. The aroma attracted many people.
The Soviets didn't know about this cooking method. They were more interested in baking bread. Now the mill in Catfish Village is urgently processing the wheat kernels brought by the soldiers, and several large temporary ovens are already baking big lobster.
Just frying potatoes and eating bread, this kind of life is somewhat interesting.
Yelentina came smelling the fragrance, and she also brought her own lunch box. Under the setting sun, I saw the couple each holding two small wooden sticks, holding potato strips like tweezers.
"Come, my Comrade Political Commissar, you should eat some too."
"Well, you Chinese are really interesting."
This was the first time that Jelentina had eaten fried potatoes. They were well seasoned with salt, and those two people were able to cook those spherical potatoes so delicious. The couple was very embarrassed. This guy was really exaggerating in his eating.
"It's delicious. Since you like it so much, I'll give you the rest." Yang Mingzhi teased.
Yelentina was embarrassed for a while, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement. Yang Tao reluctantly muttered: "Obviously, this is what my husband made for me. It's a reward for me."
Yelentina heard everything. "Okay, okay, sister is too rude." She turned her head and said, "Berekov, you must tell me how to make this thing, and I will give it to you tomorrow.
Sikka cooks a meal."
"Okay. I'll just do the actual cooking. I don't want you to waste the ingredients."
The three of them looked at each other and laughed. Yelentina was not here just for lunch, she still had a small piece of bread in her mouth.
Based on the militia training situation, she had to report to Yang Mingzhi and share her thoughts.
"Those new recruits cannot be quickly trained in a short period of time. If you want them to become veterans, they still have to participate in military operations. It is best to experience a baptism of artillery fire before these people can become old guys." Yelentina mainly refers to Catfish Village.
of militia.
"After all, they have not participated in the battle. But now we have indeed not arranged any combat missions. There are German troops stationed in the direction of Mozyr and Lechica. Should we attack them? Unless we attack one or two small troops."
"Oh! That's not a bad idea." Yelenkina's eyes lit up. Yang Mingzhi shook his head. He had only been peaceful for a few days. Is this energetic Cheka girl so eager to fight?
Yelentina left after the autumn wind, and she claimed to have gone to Yevlov's place. One was a division commander, and the other was a political commissar. Yang Tao couldn't help but wonder: "Husband, did you say that sister Yelentina was against Yevlov?"
My husband is interesting. In fact, I think the two of them are pretty good together."
"Probably not." Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized that it seemed that Yelentina and that guy had been very close recently. Then he thought about it, if they developed feelings during the war, that would be okay. As far as he knew,
, Yevlov never married.
After a basin of hot water was boiled, the two of them wet the linen cloth and scrubbed themselves. Starfruit was a girl. She and all the girls participating in the military training enjoyed high-standard treatment and washed themselves in the traditional Russian black bathhouse in Catfish Village.
As night fell, Yang Mingzhi lit a candle in the wooden carving. Yang Tao was very tired, and Yang Mingzhi knew this very well.
"Now lie down obediently and relax."
"Oh, husband, do you want to..."
Yang Mingzhi frowned, and this girl looked at him affectionately. "Okay, just lie down obediently. You have been tired for a day, so I will give you a massage to loosen your muscles and bones today. You will still train hard tomorrow."
